âLittle Jiu, my heart is a complete mess! How can you not comfort me, and even laugh at me?â He looked at her full of grievance but after he heard her laughter, his mood was lifted by quite a bit.
âNo, itâs just that Iâve never seen this side of you? I find it very novel, hahaâŠâ
She really wasnât lying, although he was handsome, however with his towering figure which could be comparable to a bearâs back or a tigerâs waist, such a strong physique and yet he showed such an embarrassed yet aggrieved expression, it was such a stark contrast and she couldnât help herself but laugh.
âBut how about your parents? Since it was your Father that set your engagement, wouldnât he be against their marriage?â She curiously asked, it wasnât that long ago that she had saved him? Did they really think that he was dead?
Hearing this, Guan Xi Linâs embarrassment quickly dispersed as he sadly said: âIâve never seen my Mother before, when I was six years old, my Father found some news about my Mother and he had set out to look for her. However, heâs not been back since then, and our family had not received any news, and everyone in the family presumed that he is dead.â
He walked to the stone table and put down his things in his hands, as his eyes lit up with vigor and he said in an unwavering tone: âBut I donât believe them! In our Guan family history, my Fatherâs talent was the best. I do not believe that he is dead, Iâve made an oath since young, that I will strive to carve out a name for myself! So as long as my Father and Mother are alive, they will be able to recognize me.
Looking at his serious and determined look, Feng Jiu looked at him with affirmation and nodded her head in approval. That explained a lot, no wonder despite his cultivation level wasnât very high but each of his moves were packed with explosive power which showed that his muscles were very well developed and to have come all this way, it meant that there was a lot of hard work involved.
âBrother, I believe that you can do it!â She patted his shoulders in encouragement. âPractice well. Your talent is not low, your future will definitely be better than your Father.â
Once she said that, she smiled deviously. âBut Brother, since your cousin is going to get married, how can you not head back to congratulate them? This isnât very appropriate!â
âHuh?â He looked at her, puzzled.
âWell, let me go along with you!â
Anyway, they couldnât stay here much longer, or else if the Xu Family found their way over, how troublesome would that be? Moreover, the her now didnât have the sufficient strength to deal with them, so for now, she still had to keep a low profile and slowly bide her time.
Whatâs more, she also yearned to go back to Cloudy Moon City to have a look.
âWhy donât you go and buy a carriage first? Iâm going out for a bit and will come back soon.â After which, she went back into the room and changed into a manâs attire and she put on a mask and headed out.
Guan Xi Lin was surprised when she emerged out of her room as he looked at her dressing. However, he didnât ask anything and just ate a couple of things and left to buy a good carriage for the ride back home.
Feng Jiu came to the black market and there was a girl dressed in black who was standing by the door who bowed deeply when approached.
She only cast her a quick glance and saw her tanned face, with her gaze lowered to the ground and she didnât pay any further attention to the girl as she strode in.
However, at the moment Feng Jiu brushed past the girl in black, the girl lifted her gaze and that pair of eyes flashed a glint that was as dazzling as the stars and her gaze locked onto the red figure that was walking in.
âAre you going to leave?â
In the room, the overseer was asking in an anxious tone. âBut we havenât finished collecting all the magical herbs yet.â
âDoesnât Cloudy Moon City have a Black Market as well? When youâve finished gathering them, you can just send it there.â In her hands, she was holding onto the thin crystal card. In it, were the proceeds from selling the two bottles of medicine.
