“Master.” Leng Shuang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said: “Leng Shuang is happy to finally see Master return safely. Master, it’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back.”
“Master, if you still don’t return we would be in trouble.” Old White interrupted.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu’s eyebrows raised: “What trouble?”
Old White was just about to speak when Du Fan said: “Master, you’ve just returned, why don’t you have a rest first? It will take a while to tell you everything. Why don’t I get soone to prepare so food for you and we can talk about it after you rest?”
“No need. What’s happened in my absence? Tell !” She walked over to the table in the courtyard and sat down and looked at him inquiringly.
Upon seeing this, Du Fan said: “What’s happened is this. Back then, when Duan Ye ca to Heavenly Pill Tower to tell us about what had happened to Master, everyone was busy trying to find a solution. Later on, Young Master Mo Chen said that this was a misfortune and also a blessing. He told us not to worry. Since Young Master Mo Chen had said that, we thought that we would guard Heavenly Pill Tower and take care of the Manor until Master returns.”
“It was very peaceful during that period of ti, nothing happened at all. It wasn’t until one day when Guan Xilin received a letter and said that he had to go out but he never returned. Even the Feng Guards that we sent to search for him couldn’t find any news of him. A few months later, there was so news.” His voice paused slightly when he spoke of this.
“Go on.” Feng Jiu said. She took a wine gourd out from space and drank the wine. Her eyes were deep and aningful, as if she was thinking about sothing.
“The news that we received was that Guan Xilin had attacked the people of the Four Great Immortal Sects and killed people with extraordinary status in the sects. In addition to this, he also took action against so large families one after another and aroused public outrage and everyone mobilized their troops.”
He glanced at his Master and saw that her expression had remained unchanged. He was unable to guess her thoughts and so he said: “We all feel that sothing is not right with this matter. It is impossible that Guan Xilin would do sothing like this. It’s just that we have been looking for him for nearly a year and have not found his whereabouts, though we always receive news of him killing people everywhere.”
Feng Jiu’s eyes moved slightly when she heard this and she asked: “Where is Mo Chen now?”
“He’s been at Heavenly Pill Tower a lot recently because many forces have been targeting it. Fortunately there is Young Master Mo Chen protecting it, otherwise those people would have attacked Heavenly Pill Tower a long ti ago.”
“This is really unexpected!” She took a sip of her wine and stood up. She shook the wine gourd in her hand and said: “I thought that no one would dare to have ideas about Heavenly Pill Tower now. I didn’t expect that things would be such a ss with being away for a year.”
“Subordinate is ashad.” Du Fan lowered his head.
“I heard clamouring noises coming from outside just now, who are those people?” She asked and took another sip of her wine.
“They’re just so people from small forces who said that Guan Xilin killed so of their people. During this period of ti, whenever soone is killed, they claim that it was Guan Xilin’s doing. They either co here looking for compensation or looking for Guan Xilin to settle the score.” Du Fan lowered his head and said.
“And you just let it happen?” Feng Jiu glanced at Du Fan.
“If we take action before we find Guan Xilin, subordinate is afraid that it would make matters worse. Therefore…” He knew that he hadn’t handled this matter appropriately, but there was no other way.
“Let’s go! Co out with and take a look.” She stepped forward and walked out.
