Chapter 2682: Sorry to Bother You
“Yes, I understand.”
Guo Xinning nodded and saw his father off. After looking at the sky, he went back to his room to rest. He planned to go there later.
As the sky grew darker, the lights in the Guo mansion illuminated the entire residence.
Guo Xinning came to the courtyard where Feng jiu and the others were resting. There was no one in the courtyard when he arrived, only the silver wolf in its shrunken form crouching at the door. When the wolf saw him approaching, it cast a sharp glance at him.
“Feng Jiu.” He stopped and called, but did not go inside.
“Feng Jiu.”
Since he didn’t hear any response, he called again. The doors to the next two rooms opened, and the sleepy Xie siblings came out, rubbing their eyes.
“Big Brother Guo? What’s going on?” Xie Yutang yawned and walked towards him while rubbing his eyes.
Xie s.h.i.+si followed, telling the maid outside the courtyard, “Bring us some tea. It would be nice if you also get us some fruits.”
The maid responded and then withdrew.
…
“Did you get enough rest?” Guo Xinning asked, looking at the two.
“It wasn’t too bad. I awoke not long after falling asleep. I don’t think I slept enough.” Xie Yutang responded and then inquired, “Are you looking for Little Jiu, Big Brother Guo? He’s most likely still sleeping and hasn’t woken up!”
“Never mind. I can wait for him here.” He sat down at the table, beckoned for them to join him, and said, “My father is hosting a banquet tonight and he welcomes you to attend.”
The two siblings exchanged glances. “It depends on Feng Jiu, whether he wants to go.”
“Never mind, just ask him later.” He smiled and continued, “It is rare for you to visit my home. You should stay longer and let me do my best as a host.”
“This…” Xie Yutang hesitated. “I inquired how far this city was from where I live. When I got back, after discussing with Feng Jiu, he said that we will be leaving the next day. We may not be able to stay here for long.”
“Leaving the next day? What’s the hurry?” Guo Xinning was taken aback.
“Yes! We’ve been gone for several days now. My parents must have been worried sick. We have to go back early now that we are out.”
Guo Xinning nodded. When they were in the forest, they already told him that they did not get lost, but rather emerged in the forest after accidentally entering the teleportation array. As a result, their family was unaware of their current situation.
The room’s door creaked open, and the well-rested Feng Jiu came out. “What are you talking about?”
“Little Jiu, Big Brother Guo said they were having a banquet tonight and invited us to join them. “Guo Yutang reported.
“No, thank you. We’re going to stroll around tonight and then come back early to rest so we can leave tomorrow.” Feng Jiu said as she sat at the table. At this time, the maid served tea and fruit before leaving respectfully.
Guo Xinning, seeing this, said, “I have already told my father about the situation. Regarding the Great Elder’s reward, my father will prepare it himself.”
“Mm hmm,” Feng Jiu responded, seemingly unconcerned.
“I’m familiar with the city. Since you’re going out to play, why don’t I join you?” He proposed.
“This…” The Xie siblings looked at Feng Jiu.
“I’ll trouble you, then.” Feng Jiu did not refuse.
“It’s no trouble at all.” Guo Xinning smiled, then took the teacup in his hand and took a sip.
