Chapter 2103: Zhuo Family
“I wonder what good things Master will bring back with her this time?” He said in antic.i.p.ation. He felt that besides killing Han Rong, Master would definitely have other gains.
Leng Hua and Fan Lin smiled at each other when they heard this. One of them walked to the back courtyard while the other said: “I’m going back to the Manor to take a look.”
Two days later, in a town, three people stood in front of the main entrance of the Zhuo Manor.
“We’re here.” Zhuo Junyue turned around and said to Feng Jiu.
“Speaking of which, I’ve not been here for a long time myself.” Sage Hun Yuan stroked his beard and said. He looked at Zhuo Junyue, and then glanced at Feng Jiu and asked: “How do you both want to be introduced later? Do you want to say that you are here to see your grandmother?”
Feng Jiu glanced at the old man and then said to Zhuo Junyue: “When we go in, I will follow by the old man’s side. You don’t have to introduce me, you just have to find an opportunity for me to see your grandmother.”
The old man smiled and his eyes narrowed: “Follow the old man? Be the old man’s disci…ahem!” Before he was able to finish saying the word disciple, he saw her glance at him sideways and swallowed the words.
He still wanted to learn Tai Chi from her! He couldn’t afford to offend her.
Zhuo Junyue nodded: “I understand.” He walked forward and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened and an elder leaned out.
“Eldest Young Master is back!” The elder smiled widely. He looked to the side and when he saw Sage Hun Yuan stroking his beard, he greeted immediately: “Sage Hun Yuan.”
“Mmm.” The old man replied and glanced at the elder.
“Eldest Young Master, Sage Hun Yuan, please come inside quickly. I will go and inform the Family Patriarch.” The elder hurriedly invited them into the Manor, only then did he notice that there was a young boy in azure robes following Sage Hun Yuan. Upon seeing the young boy was dressed in plain clothes, and was looking down and standing still, he a.s.sumed that he belonged to Sage Hun Yuan.
“No need to disturb Second Uncle. He will follow me to the West Courtyard.” Zhuo Junyue said.
The old man was startled and watched on as they walked over to the West Courtyard after they entered the Manor. After he thought about it, he felt that since Sage Hun Yuan was here, he should inform the Family Patriarch even if they were going to the West Courtyard.
Therefore, after he closed the Manor’s main door, the elder walked to the Main Courtyard.
Feng Jiu, who was following behind the old man, observed her surroundings quietly. She saw that other than a few guards, maids and servant boys, there were also one or two hidden guards who were paying attention to the surrounding movements. Be it the small trails and footpaths or the pavilions, everything was very delicate and the surrounding setting was very beautiful.
However, as they walked on the trail that led to the West Courtyard, it was a completely different scene. There weren’t even half as many servants and guards along the trail, and there weren’t even any hidden guards. After they entered the manor gate of the West Courtyard, it was as if the Zhuo Manor was split into two manors, one was elegant and exquisite while the other was quiet.
When she saw that there was no one around, Feng Jiu looked at Zhuo Junyue who was in front of her and asked: “Why is it so quiet here? Since this is inside the Zhuo Manor, why has it been separated into the West Manor?
Before Zhuo Junyue could reply, Sage Hun Yuan stroked his beard and looked back at Feng Jiu: “Yes, that’s right. I haven’t told you about the situation here yet! There is a reason for this.”
He slowed down and walked side by side with Feng Jiu: “The Zhuo Family are split into the West Manor and East Manor. Although they live under the same manor, you have seen for yourself the two different paths leading to the east and west.”
