Feng Jiu’s hand paused in the air, as if she was thinking about something, then she proceeded to drink the wine. Not long after, Yang Xiao Er and Bai Qingcheng came in with food and wine.
“Sister Feng, I heard them say you came back as soon as I arrived. Where have you been this one year?” Yang Xiao Er asked with a smile after setting the wine and side dishes on the table.
Feng Jiu looked at her with surprise. Instead of answering, she asked back. “Xiao Er, why did you lose so much weight?”
The originally curvy little girl had now become very slim. The outline of her face that was originally good-looking became more distinct due to losing weight. Her large and bright eyes were expressive, limpid and spirited, making her a sight to behold.
Yang Xiao Er smiled embarra.s.sedly. “I didn’t eat so much and I practiced a set of fist work every morning and evening, so I slowly lost weight.”
“Mm, either plump or thin are alright, as long as you’re healthy.” Feng Jiu smiled. “I went to a place to cultivate this past year. Haven’t I just come back? I didn’t expect so many things to happen in the year I was away.”
“Sister Feng, don’t worry too much. We’ll get Big Brother Guan back.” Yang Xiao Er comforted her.
“Mm.” She nodded with a smile.
“Then, we’ll leave first.” With that, Yang Xiao Er left with Bai Qingcheng.
Mo Cheng and Feng Jiu were chatting in the courtyard. But, outside, the news of Feng Jiu’s return spread far and wide…
Two days later.
“What? She’s back?”
Yi Xiuran, the Lord of the Shadow Night Palace, stood up from behind his desk with surprise on his face after learning that Feng Jiu had returned to Heavenly Pill Tower.
“Is she really back? Is the news true? ” At this moment, there was a slight agitation in his heart, faint anxiety and excitement that he was not even aware of.
Seeing his Master’s surprised look, the old man was slightly stunned. He nodded. “Yes, Master, the news that Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu came back spread outside. I heard that people from three small clans came to the Feng Manor to make trouble. When the gate of the Feng Manor was opened, Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu came out in her red dress.”
“As soon as she showed up, she easily dealt with the troublemakers. Moreover, the people of those small clans also lost one million gold coins for this. It is precisely because of this that the news of her return spread quickly. As soon as I got the news, I rushed over immediately to give this report.”
“Good, good! You did a good job!” His face showed a happy smile. “Now that she has come back, I am going to meet her.” While talking, he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
The old man hesitated when he heard this. Looking at the expectation and excitement on his Master’s face, he whispered, “Master, have you taken a fancy to Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu?”
He had lived for a long time, so from observing the person and things, he could see the signs. His Master’s att.i.tude towards Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu seemed to have changed since the destruction of the Palace’s Headquarters.
Strange to say. The Shadow Night Palace’s headquarters was destroyed by Feng Jiu and his Master was also injured. Shouldn’t he hate her to the bone? How could he be fascinated by her?
“Pffttt!”
Yi Xiuran spurted out the tea after hearing the old man’s remark.. He choked, patted his chest, wiped traces of water from his mouth, and gave the old man a surly glance. “Nonsense! What’s so good about that woman? Can I take a fancy to her? What a joke!”
