3062 Returning Home
“Yes, we will remember it,” several of them answered sheepishly.
When they arrived at the immortal sect’s gate, the airs.h.i.+p stopped, and two of the disciples helped the man surnamed Qin out. After recuperating for two or three days, even though he had not yet regained his health, he seemed much better than before.
“Many thanks to the two seniors for your care during the journey. ” The disciples saluted the two.
“There is no need to thank me. Think of it as a business transaction. Go in!” Feng Jiu waved her hand, put away the airs.h.i.+p, and flew to Cardinal Point City on her flying sword with Wanyan s.h.i.+san and Qin Xin.

Arriving at the Feng Manor in the city, she was perplexed to see a line stretching out the door. She looked at the crowd of people that had gathered around the manor. From their attire and cultivation, they didn’t seem to be ordinary people. She wondered what on earth had happened.
“Isn’t this your house? Why are there so many people gathered outside the door?” Wanyan s.h.i.+san cast a glance at the crowd.
“I don’t know. ” Feng Jiu shook her head. She had just returned home; how would she have known what was going on?
“I’ll go there and ask.”
As Wanyan s.h.i.+san talked, he went forward and asked the people at the back of the line. Not long after, he returned and gave Feng Jiu an odd look. “Some come to ask for pills, some for medicine and some for medical treatment.”
He gave her an odd look and said, “Your home will soon be transformed into a hospital. Why does everyone ask for all these?”
Feng Jiu’s eyes flickered. “Let’s get in from the back door!” She then led them to the back door.
He was astounded to see a formation array at the back door of her manor that obscured the location of the door from the outside. “Did you really set the array here? Is that viable?”
Feng Jiu brought them inside and told them, “Why is it not viable? You can arrange your home however you please. There are formation arrays and boundary barriers everywhere in my home, so please do not run around once you enter.”
“I know, I know.” Wanyan s.h.i.+san replied, following her inside. When he saw that there was not a single guard in the manor, he asked, “Why didn’t I see even one guard?”
“I don’t need guards here.”
While she was speaking, an elderly man approached. After examining them, he turned to Feng Jiu, grinned, and said, “I wonder who it is? It turns out that Miss has returned.”
“He is my house’s gatekeeper, Elder Mei.” Feng Jiu introduced Elder Mei to the two of them before she spoke to Elder Mei. “This man here is Wanyan s.h.i.+san, and this is Qin Xin. Wanyan s.h.i.+san is a guest, while Qin Xin will be a member of the manor later.”
“Oh.” Elder Mei replied, nodded, and examined the two people.
“Is everything alright at home while I’m away for a few days?” As she walked inside, she asked him.
“It’s fine. Every day, people come to visit. In fact, there is still a line of people waiting outside the door, and they refuse to leave.” Elder Mei explained. “Du Fan and the others completed their task yesterday and returned. They stayed in the manor because they knew that Master was not at home.”
Wanyan s.h.i.+san, who was beside her, was taken aback as he observed the two people walking inside, asking and answering questions interchangeably. It’s all well and good if it’s just Feng Jiu. But who was this elderly man guarding the gate? How could he not see right through his cultivation strength?
Even though the large manor had no guards and they made no noise entering through the back door, the elderly man knew that someone had come in. That was incredible!
“Master is back!” Leng Hua, dressed in a moon white robe, emerged from the front and smiled when he spotted Feng Jiu.
