When they heard that it was Patriarch Hong, the Elders were slightly surprised, but also slightly relieved. They knew the Hong Family’s family values, and there was no denying that the Patriarch Hong was a good candidate.
“What would your good self like us to do?” They asked.
The corners of Feng Jiu’s lips curled slightly and she said: “Naturally, support him to take the position.”
“We understand.” They said, then they spoke again: “This matter requires preparation, we will make the arrangements now.” Having said that, they were about to retreat after bowing when they heard Feng Jiu’s voice.
“Wait.”
!!
They turned their heads back and looked at the red-clothed girl and asked: “Do you have any other instructions?”
Feng Jiu stood up and said: “Send the people who are building the palace back home, and at the same time, settle their wages for the length of time they have worked here.”
They hadn’t expected her to have noticed the ordinary people who were working over there, let alone said such words. They were stunned for a moment, then they said: “Yes, we will arrange it now.”
It was strange that such a powerful person would notice those ordinary people. After all, in the eyes of those strong exponent cultivators of immortality, those ordinary people were inconspicuous. Even if they knew of their existence, they wouldn’t usually say a word.
After they left, Feng Jiu told Old White to guard the courtyard, then she went into the room to rest.
With the Elders handling matters, everything was taken care of quickly, and when the captives heard that they were returning home with wages, they cried.
When they left the City Lord Manor, they knelt down and bowed to the City Lord Manor. They knew that the owner of the white horse must have rescued them.
The talking horse had said that its owner would rescue them and let them go home. Now, they were really going home.
At the thought of returning home, they didn’t care about their tattered clothes or messy appearance. Before the city gate had closed that night, they left the city and hurried home…
Because of Feng Jiu, Patriarch Hong who had been keeping an eye on the movements at the City Lord Manor, couldn’t help but admire Feng Jiu’s methods even more after he learned about the actions of the ordinary people in front of the City Lord Manor.
She was able to live in the City Lord Manor without fear, and ensured those who were held captive were able to leave the city safely. The people in the City Lord Manor had obviouslysubmitted to her leaders.h.i.+p.
For a woman to have been able to achieve this, in addition to thunderous means, she also had to have unfathomable strength.
“Master, I had a servant boil some soup for you, drink a bowl first!” Madame Hong entered the study with a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him.
“My Lady, did you make sure someone is guarding Father?” Patriarch Hong asked.
“Yes, Hao’er is keeping watch there. He asked me earlier why you have summoned everyone to the Manor for a meeting. He asked if it was something big. So, I told him about it.” Madame Hong said.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Hong nodded: “That’s fine. I was going to talk to him about it once things have settled down. But it’s fine to tell him now.” He smiled, then picked up the soup and drank it.
Madame Hong asked with some doubt: “Master, is that Ghost Doctor really so powerful? There are so many strong people in the City Lord Manor, and she’s staying there now, will they…
