1534 People Out In The Morning
They had completely disregarded their blood relation and any affection between them, they had broken up her marriage and separated her from her flesh and blood, and then they imprisoned her within the mansion and had forced her to refine pills for them. If they were her family, how could they have treated her like that?She had suffered so much in their hands and she refused to allow her daughter Feng Jiu be bullied by them! From the moment she had left Shangguan Mansion, she had already decided that she would not acknowledge them again.
“Alright Mother, I won’t talk about them anymore. There is another matter I would like to discuss with you.” She held her hand and said.
Shangguan Wanrong smiled when she heard this and said: “What is it? Tell me.”
“I intend to go to Shun Yan City to see what ailment the Old City Lord is suffering from. If I can cure him, then the elixir medicine will be easily obtainable. If he is incurable, then I will need to find another way. Once I have left, I will most probably go to the Sky Mountain straight from Shun Yan City, and I will be away for about two to three months, so…”
Although her health had improved these last few days, however, she was still worried to be away for two to three months.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wanrong smiled gently and patted her hand: “Since that’s the case then you should go! Don’t worry about me, I will be fine here, and besides my health is gradually improving too. But are you going alone? Since you are going then you should ask Mo Ze to accompany you so that you will have a companion and can a.s.sist each other along the way.”
“Yes, I know. I plan to go to h.e.l.l’s Palace on my way to Shun Yan City.” She smiled and nodded, then said: “Don’t you worry. Leng Shuang, Leng Hua and Du Fan will be home and they will take good care of you.”
“Alright, mother knows.” Shangguan Wanrong looked at her. Her eyes were filled with mother’s pride. So many years had pa.s.sed and she had never expected that hers and Feng Xiao’s daughter would become so outstanding.
On this day, Feng Jiu had arranged everything and left some pills and liquid medicine with Leng Hua and the other. At the same time, she had reminded them to practice their cultivation in hopes that their strength would be improved.
The next day, before the sky had brightened up, she led Old White out of the house and about to leave, with everyone sending her off, when a loud cluck cluck cluck could be heard coming from the courtyard.
When she heard the chicken clucking, Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and stopped: “Is that Green Feather?”
“Yes Master. It has found its way to us and has been calling every morning.” Du Fan said with a smile and glanced at Green Feather who was perched up on a high place in the courtyard.
Feng Jiu nodded: “Well, I did hear the rooster crow and I thought that it belonged to another family. But Green Feather is a hen, I didn’t think hens crowed?”
Shangguan Wanrong who was supported by Leng Shuang chuckled softly: “Naturally, the spiritual creatures in the world can’t be compared to ordinary creatures. After all, that is a spiritual bird.”
“That’s true.” She patted Old White and said to her mother: “Mother, look at my horse, it’s not an ordinary horse.” After speaking, she laughed out loud.
Old White snorted and raised its head at being teased: “That’s right, I, Old White am unique.”
“Alright, let’s go.” Feng Jiu led Old White out and said to them: “You don’t have to see me off any further.”
“Master, be careful along the way.” Du Fan and the rest said.
“Take good care of yourself and be careful in everything.” Shangguan Wanrong advised.
“I will.” After she left the house, she jumped onto Old White’s back and waved back at them. She cantered the horse and they disappeared into the street with Old White amongst the people….
