She also wanted her family to be reunited. However, after so many years, she didn’t dare to have this thought.
Feng Jiu just said that her father always held her mother’s things when he missed her. So, after all these years, he had never remarried? His mory was obviously sealed, how could he rember all these?
With that look in her eyes, sitting quietly with a blank and despondent gaze, Shangguan Wanrong had no reaction even though the pheasant on the fire was slightly burnt.
Seeing this, Feng Jiu took the branch in her hand and asked her, “Martial Uncle Shangguan, you haven’t answered yet. Will my mother co ho with ?”
At this, Shangguan Wanrong ca to her senses. She lifted her sleeve to wipe her tears away and adjusted her mind, suppressing the turmoil and excitent in her heart forcefully and gazed at her. “She will. She will go back with you, but not now.”
Feng Jiu looked at her fixedly. Their eyes t. That layer of unpierced barrier seed to have disappeared in front of them. They guessed each other’s identity but did not acknowledge their relationships.
After a long ti, Feng Jiu restrained her gaze. “I know.” This matter should have been related to the Master Third Sun. What on earth did this man want to do?
Seeing that she held her eyes back with an unsmiling face, Shangguan Wanrong said hurriedly, “She will go back. When she has dealt with her affairs, she will go back, I promise.”
“Mm hmm. I believe you.” She looked up with a smile and nodded.
After a while, the roast pheasant was done. After adding a little seasoning, she handed one to her. “Have a taste.”
“Thank you.” Shangguan Wanrong took it, whispered her thanks, tore off a piece and began to eat.
While eating roast pheasant, they chatted. Maybe it was because they opened their mouths. Although they didn’t break through the barrier and acknowledge the relationship, their feelings and mood were a little different.
After eating the roast pheasant, they continued to move forward. This ti, Shangguan Wanrong took the initiative to talk. “Among the three herbs my master asked to collect, one of them is the Stone Iron Azalea. This kind of spirit herb grows in the crevices of the stone walls and can only be seen in the mountain walls’ precipices. When I go halfway up the mountain to have a look, you can stay and wait.”
“Stone Iron Azalea? This is a very rare spirit herb. There must be a guardian beast by the spirit herb’s side. Located halfway up the mountain, most of the guardian beasts are poisonous snakes.” Feng Jiu spoke with a frown. “Since you’re gathering the Stone Iron Azalea, I’ll go down and pick it! I can recognize this spirit herb.”
“That won’t do. It’s too dangerous. It’ll just head down, don’t worry! It’s not my first ti picking herbs. It’s going to be alright.” She refused directly. When she reached the top, she took a thick rope from the space and tied it to her body.
“I ca prepared. Everything was complete and I had taken the antidote beforehand.”
Feng Jiu had no choice but to co forward and take the rope in her hand and tie it firmly to her. “Then, be careful. I’ll wait for you above. One side of the rope will be tied to the big tree here.”
As she spoke, she tied the other end of the rope to a nearby tree. “Call if you need anything or pull on the rope.”
Shangguan Wanrong had a gentle smile on her face. “I know. Don’t worry. Wait for here, you also have to be careful with the surroundings, in case there are ferocious beasts.”
With that, she took so pills from the space and handed them to her. “You can keep these for self defence.”
