Chapter 1553 Fatigued By His Journey
Feng Jiu shook her head: “No need, I think the food now is fine. This courtyard is elegant and peaceful, plus I have the company of the thoughtful and considerate Eldest Young Miss Duan, it’s not boring at all.”“It’s great that Young Master Feng likes it here. Here, Young Master Feng, please help yourself to the food. After dinner I will take you to view the Exquisite Seven Colour Flower. The elixir herb plant is planted in this courtyard and looked after by my daughter.”
“Alright.” Feng Jiu’s eyes flashed, and after she glanced at him, she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.
They chatted occasionally, and after they had finished eating their dinner, the three of them made their way to the small garden. Although the sky was dark, the Exquisite Seven Colour Flower exuded a faint halo. It was extremely beautiful in the night.
“Young Master Feng, I visited several families on my trip out of the manor today. I now have the Thousand Year Old Ice Bed and two Ninth-grade ice attributed crystals. As for the other elixir herb, I have contacted the local Black Market and they said they will transfer it over in the next two days. I should have everything that is required in three days.”
City Lord Duan was unable to hide his joy when he spoke about this matter. The stone in his heart was finally lifted now that he had settled these three things. Right now, he was just waiting for him to start the healing process.
As soon as he had finished speaking, he paused for a while and glanced at his daughter, then said to Feng Jiu: “Young Master Feng, why don’t you stay in this courtyard over the next two days! This courtyard is quite large and there are many rooms here.”
Feng Jiu glanced at him with a smile upon hearing this: “City Lord Duan seems to be quite at ease with me.”
“Hehe, Young Master Feng is a distinguished guest. I thought since you get along so well with my daughter, she can be your companion over the next two days. Moreover, the Exquisite Seven Colour Flowers are in this courtyard so I think it would be more suitable for Young Master Feng to stay here anyway.”
She smiled and looked back at Duan Yingying and replied with a smile: “In that case, I will stay in this courtyard. It is pleasant to the eyes with the companions.h.i.+p of beautiful flowers and a beautiful person.”
Since then, Feng Jiu has stayed in this courtyard. As for Duan Yingying, she didn’t seem to mind the inconvenience of a man and a woman living in the same courtyard. In her eyes, as long as they slept in separate rooms, that was fine. There was no big display of attention like those young ladies from n.o.ble families on the outside.
At this time, Feng Jiu was unaware that she would meet someone she hadn’t met in a long time…..
The next morning
A stubbly bearded man wearing a black robe, with strong hips like a bear and his back agile like a tiger, walked through the City Gates. Because of his dishevelled appearance, he looked about thirty to forty years old, and frankly, a little scary.
He carried a long sword with a round hilt and walked on the road with a majestic and murderous aura. The people on the street couldn’t help but avoid him and involuntarily made way for him when they saw him.
Some cultivators who saw the man with strong hips like a bear and back supple like a tiger sized him up secretly and whispered: “This man has a very strong murderous aura, you can tell that he is a nasty person and you don’t want to mess with him.”
“His aura is introverted. His body isn’t exuding spiritual energy but profound energy, and his profound energy has already reached Martial Sacred Peak Stage. Who on earth is this person? Someone who has the strength of Martial Sacred Peak Stage is definitely a strong exponent.”
“That’s right, this kind of profound energy cultivation is comparable to the Profound Martial Sect Peak Master level.”
The man in black listened casually to the discussion about him as he walked along the street but didn’t care much about it. He strode into the city fatigued by his journey and when he saw a restaurant, he walked inside.
