“What?”
Feng Jiu was dumbfounded. Even Zhu Yue was also stunned.
“You’re still playing dumb! Isn’t that silver needle a plot of yours?”
The guard in black glared at Feng Jiu. “We took Young Master to the dicinal hall. Even though the dicinal hall’s people were able to pull out the silver needle and Young Master also recovered, they held him captive.”
“He’s detained yet you’re not rushing to grab him back? Aren’t you people very proficient in doing this?”
Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and glanced at them with ridicule. They made the effort to abduct people here. Why didn’t they want to take their master out? That’s really a mystery, what did it have to do with her? She didn’t have him detained.
Hearing this, the guards were sowhat embarrassed. “You don’t have to laugh at us. If it isn’t because we can’t beat them, why do we need to listen to their order to take you back?”
“Huh?”
Feng Jiu wondered. “What do you take us there for? As his substitute?” It’s even more baffling. She had nothing to do with that dicinal hall.
“Correct! They said that as long as we take the person who put the needle back, they will let my Young Master go. Today, we have a conflict with you. If it is not your plot, who else is there?”
He pondered the matter from multiple angles before thinking that this must be done by these two people. They were from the sa city as Zhu Yue, so they were familiar with his abilities. They had never heard Zhu Yue understand anything about silver needles. Then, it could only be this unknown boy!
Feng Jiu was lost in thought. Glancing at the guard in black before him, each one of them was Golden Core cultivators, yet they had been saying that they couldn’t fight the dicinal hall’s people?
“Are you going there on your own accord, or do you want us to make you?” The black robed guard asked, observing the manner in which they must be taken to the dicinal hall.
“I’ll go there myself! You let him go. I’ll go with you to take a look. ” She glanced at Zhu Yue.
“That won’t do. I’ll go with you.”
Zhu Yue spoke out, he stared fixedly on the figure in front of him. It was because of him that the little beggar got into trouble. How could he be so disloyal as to letting the little beggar go with these people? If anything should happen...
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind at that mont. If the guards take them, will they get killed? Is this a shady dicinal hall? Why else will they be detaining people? What do the dicinal hall’s people want them to do? Will they ever co back alive?
The more he thought about it, the paler his face beca. Although he was frightened, he felt a little steadier when he looked at the calm and collected little beggar.
He was blessed with great fortune, so he shouldn’t die so easily.
So, Feng Jiu and Zhu Yue followed the several guards in black to the dicinal hall located in the comrcial street. In front of the dicinal hall’s door, a wooden board was hung. On it was written the character ‘Physician’. They looked up and saw the na of the dicinal hall: Rejuvenation Hall.
It was the middle of the night. Although the door was closed, the light was still on in the dicinal hall. While Feng Jiu was thinking quietly, one of the guards stepped forward to knock on the door.
“We’ve brought the person.”
“Let the man who put the needle in.” An old voice ca from inside. When the voice ca out, the guards in black outside shivered imperceptibly.
‘Go in!” That guard backed away and opened the door, signalling Feng Jiu to co inside.
Feng Jiu glanced inside and stepped in. While she walked into the door, Zhu Yue was about to follow her, but the door was shut with a bang.
