“What’s the problem?” Ren Xiang frowned and turned his gaze to the Qingfeng Inn. He could hear a faint scuffle.
“Yi Xiuran was rescued!” The guard reported this while lowering his gaze to avoid looking at them.
Ren Xiang was taken aback but said nothing; Gray Wolf, on the other hand, roared in surprise. “What? Rescued?” With a mystified expression on his face, he looked at Ren Xiang.
“It’s pointless to stare at .”
Ren Xiang justified himself by spreading his hands wide “Yi Xiuran is the Shadow Night Palace’s Master. How long can I keep him locked up in my Qingfeng Inn? Despite my close scrutiny, I had no idea when he summoned his n to his aid.”
“So, what now? The order that Master has specifically given has not yet been fulfilled. What should I say to Master now that he’s escaped?”
“Simply tell it like it is.” Ren Xiang advised, “Master primarily intends that he not approach Ghost Doctor again. I believe he should know what to do after you gave him the warning.”
“Alright, then! I’ll inform Master when I return. Anyway, he escaped under your watch, and if he has anyone to bla, it’s you.” He patted Ren Xiang’s shoulder. “I’m going.” He took off on the flying sword as soon as he said this.
Mo Chen had been ho for a few days at the Nalan Mansion in Hundred Rivers City, but he had been cooped up inside his courtyard, never venturing out to Feng Mansion or the Heavenly Pill Tower. It was unclear what he was thinking
Feng Jiu, who was busy dealing with matters in the Heavenly Pill Tower, got up and stretched her waist after closing the files on her desk. Her shoulders were sore, possibly from sitting for too long. So, she summoned Bai Qingcheng.
“Could you please rub my shoulders?” She sat on the soft couch in the pavilion and gave the order to Bai Qingcheng, who was standing beside her.
“Yes.”
Bai Qingcheng replied gently. She was now completely devoted to Feng Jiu and had already shed the airs of the Bai clan’s Eldest Miss. Her position within the Heavenly Pill Tower had risen from a maid who used to do chores on the first floor to a close maid who followed Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu squinted on the soft couch and felt a little sleepy with Bai Qingcheng rubbing her sore shoulders and moving her back.
“Master, my sister sent you so sweet soup and snacks. They’re still hot. Do you want to eat right now?” Leng Hua entered with the food and placed it on the table beside her.
“Mm, leave them there! First, I’ll have Qingcheng help loosen up my stiff joints.” She lay motionless on the plush couch, not even opening her eyes.
“Master, I heard Young Master Mo Chen has returned for a few days.” Leng Hua reported while arranging the food on the table.
Feng Jiu was taken aback upon hearing this. “Hmm? He’s returned? Then why hasn’t he visited lately?”
“I also find it unusual that he hasn’t visited either the Heavenly Pill Tower or the Feng Mansion recently. He appears to have remained in the Nalan Mansion since his return.” Leng Hua stated gently. “He ntioned that his master had requested that he return this ti. Sothing has to have happened!” She said, cocking her head slightly and looking at Leng Hua. “We’ll depart in no more than two or three days. Please visit the Nalan Mansion later! Can you go talk to him and see if he’s in any trouble?”
“Yes.” Leng Hua responded. Looking at Bai Qiancheng, who was pressing her shoulders, he said again, “Master, you can delegate so things to us so that you don’t get so tired.”
