Gray Wolf glanced around and said: “We’ve finished handling the matters at hand so we came back. Master instructed us to send more men over to guard the Manor before he left. We must protect Ghost Doctor at all costs. We had intended to bring the men over tomorrow but we heard the commotion from next door so we decided to come over.”
Upon hearing that, Feng Jiu nodded. She looked at the men they had brought over, then said : “Tell you what! Place these men in the Lin Manor. I have enough men guarding the Feng Manor, I don’t need that many. If there is any commotion, they would be able to hear it from next door.”
“Alright.” The two nodded.
“Take them back first and come back over later. I have something I need to tell you.” Feng Jiu ordered, then she turned and went back into her room while the traces of the incident that had just happened were being quickly cleaned up by everyone else.
After Gray Wolf and Shadow One had brought their men over to the Lin Manor and got them settled, they came back again. They saw that the traces of blood had been cleaned up and the lights in Feng Jiu’s courtyard were still on. They looked at each other and called out.
“Ghost Doctor, we are here!”
“Come in!” Leng Shuang opened the door and motioned for the two of them to come inside.
Feng Jiu was in the room drinking tea at the table. When she saw the two of them, she motioned for them to sit down: “Sit down!”
How would the two of them dare to sit! They just stood at a distance and looked at her. Shadow One didn’t speak and just looked down while Gray Wolf smiled and asked: “What instructions do you have for us Ghost Doctor?”
“I will be going away in a few days. When I’m away, you and Leng Shuang will guard the two residences together and wait…” Before she was able to finish speaking, she heard Gray Wolf exclaim.
“What? Ghost Doctor is going away? Where are you going? For how long? Do you not plan to take us with you? If Master finds out we will be in trouble!”
Shadow One raised his head and glanced at Feng Jiu, and said: “Madam, Master has ordered us to protect you. If Madam is going away, you may leave Gray Wolf behind if you wish, but you have to take subordinate along.”
Gray Wolf was angry when he heard this and said in a huff: “Why does she have to take you and not me? I don’t think you are particularly better than I am.”
The corners of Feng Jiu’s mouth twitched. She glanced at the two of them and coughed lightly: “I don’t intend to take anyone with me this time. You just need to stay here and guard the mansions.”
“How can we do that? Just as Shadow One has said, even if you don’t bring him with you, you have to at least bring me along!” Gray Wolf said hurriedly. He patted his chest and said: “With me by Ghost Doctor’s side, you will be safer.”
Even Leng Shuang glanced sideways at Gray Wolf when she heard this and looked away silently.
“Are you stronger than me?” Feng Jiu asked Gray Wolf calmly.
Gray Wolf’s expression stiffened and he replied in embarra.s.sment: “Of course not, but help you out and run errands for you or something.”
“If it’s just that, I have plenty of people who can do that for me.” Feng Jiu looked at him with a smile.
“But, Ghost Doctor, you will be safer with me accompanying you! If anything happens, at least I can s.h.i.+eld you!” Gray Wolf tried his best to make himself stand out. However, after he thought about it, he realised there wasn’t really much he could say.
In terms of concealing his breath, he was not as capable as Shadow One. In terms of intelligence, he was also not comparable to Leng Hua and Du Fan. In that case, he was truly good for nothing.
