“You’ve seen the person. If you have no objection, ask someone to take him away tomorrow.” Old Feng told the others.
“Mm. That’s alright.” The others nodded, then turned to leave. The door was closed again, leaving Feng Jiu alone inside the room.
When she sensed that those people had left, Feng Jiu’s eyes moved slightly. She pondered in her mind, What on earth are these people talking about? What elite? Who is the master behind this Treasure Gathering Pavilion?
From their discussion, it could be inferred that these people had no knowledge about her ident.i.ty. So, when they caught her, they didn’t know Feng Jiu’s origin.
She couldn’t help but wonder where they would take her tomorrow.
She didn’t think much about it that night. Anyway, no matter where she went, she could leave as long as she wanted to. It was impossible for these people to trap her. After all, they had no idea that she was at the Immortal Sacred Peak Strong Exponent.
However, at midnight, she opened her eyes in the dark.
Who was it? Someone was staying up in the middle of the night and flitting on the roof?
At this time, she never thought it would be that Elder Tan. After all, she was not related to him and she had never thought that Elder Tan would risk exposing his strength to visit the Treasure Gathering Pavilion at night.
She closed her eyes, but no longer sleepy. She leaned quietly on the wall waiting for dawn. However, after about the time it took a column of incense to burn, there was a faint voice from above the room.
“Kid, kid!”
When she heard that voice, Feng Jiu was startled. She looked up with amazement. “Grandfather Tan!” Thanks to the night light came from the slant above, she saw clearly that the person lying on the roof was Elder Tan.
“Wait, I’ll get you out.” As soon as he uttered these words, Elder Tan left the roof and he soon pushed the door open to enter the room.
When he saw the interior clearly, Elder Tan frowned. Without saying much, he came over to break the lock. But, unexpectedly, Feng Jiu stopped him.
“Wait.” Feng Jiu came forward to stop him. She looked at the old man and sighed. “Grandfather Tan, please leave quickly! I’m fine here. You don’t have to save me.”
“Do you know what you’re talking about? If I don’t get you out, you’ll die before long!” Elder Tan said sullenly. He tried to unlock it but found that the lock was made of mystical iron. Without a key, he could not pry it open even with a sword.
“I know.” Feng Jiu smiled. This smile was different from the previous simple and honest. It was a shrewd and cunning smile. “I saw they were targeting me, so I just came in to have a look. I didn’t expect that Grandfather Tan will come.”
Looking at the shrewd and cunning look of the boy, Elder Tan was stunned. “You…”
“That’s why I said it doesn’t matter. As soon as I no longer want to stay here, I will leave. I can protect myself. Grandfather Tan, don’t worry about me.” With a smile, she added after a pause, “Before they discover you, please leave quickly! Tomorrow, they will move me out of this place. I will see what kind of place is in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion’s underbelly.”
Elder Tan cast a complicated look at Feng Jiu and finally asked, “Have you really decided to stay here?”
“Mm hmm.” Feng Jiu nodded. With a smile, she said, “It just so happens that I have nothing else to do. So, I’ll have a look!”
When he heard this, Elder Tan couldn’t say a word. He just felt that the young man took things too simply.
