Chapter 1583: Parting

As there were a few more people whom Duan Yingying was unfamiliar with, she was a little restrained when she sat down and didn’t even dare raise her head. Feng Jiu who was sitting beside her told her not to be nervous and chatted with her at the same time. Gradually, the atmosphere relaxed.

Gray Wolf and Shadow One also sat down at the instruction of Feng Jiu. However, they only dared to sit at the end of the table and didn’t dare to sit too close to their Master. Though the two tables were pushed together, they were sat at the table at the bottom.

Everyone chatted while they drank wine, the meal was relaxed and enjoyable. On the outside, the City Lord who didn’t know how lively it was inside was wondering how serious Feng Jiu’s injuries were. Would she be unable to greet her guests properly?

However, because they had sent word that they were not to be disturbed, so he hadn’t sent anyone in.

After the meal, Gray Wolf went outside and instructed the servants to come inside to clear the table. The others took a walk in the garden together, even Duan Yingying was following them quietly.

“Little Jiu, since he is here then let him accompany you to Sky Mountain. I will be leaving first tomorrow, I have some things I need to deal with.” Guan Xilin told Feng Jiu his plan.

“Aren’t you going to Sky Mountain with us?” She was a little dumbfounded. They had agreed to go together. Why was he leaving now that Xuanyuan Mo Ze was here? He didn’t mention this before!

He nodded and said: “Well, I’m not going anymore. I plan on going to deal with my affairs first, and then I will go to Leng Shuang’s to see my foster mother.”

“Alright then! You have to look after yourself on the outside.”

“Don’t worry about me. After all, I am a man who has experienced many things so general danger means nothing to me.” Guan Xilin laughed loudly and looked at Xuanyuan Mo Ze and said: “I’m leaving my younger sister in your care.”

Xuanyuan Mo Ze glanced at him and nodded.

“Let’s set off tomorrow as well then!” Feng Jiu said to Xuanyuan Mo Ze. She stopped just as she reached the garden in the courtyard, she looked at the elixir plant and said: “This is the one. I’m going to pick it first. Tomorrow morning we will leave at dawn so we won’t disturb anyone.”

As she walked into the garden, she shouted to Duan Yingying behind: “Yingying, lend me your little shovel.”

When she heard Feng Jiu, Duan Yingying retrieved her shovel from s.p.a.ce and handed it to Feng Jiu, then stood back and watched. She knew that she had come here for this elixir plant, it was her reward for curing her grandfather.

When she saw that she had dug up the plant and transplanted it with the soil into s.p.a.ce, she was a little surprised: “Won’t the plant die?” In general, s.p.a.ce was only used for storing dead things, spirit herbs were no exception. Even if she moved the soil into s.p.a.ce, she was afraid that the plant still wouldn’t survive.

“No.” Feng Jiu smiled and handed the shovel back to her. She said: “We will be leaving tomorrow. We won’t bid your father goodbye, and if he asks, tell him that I dug up the spirit herb!”

“Alright.” Duan Yingying nodded, though she couldn’t bear the parting in her heart: “Will you come back again in the future?”

Feng Jiu smiled and shook her head: “I don’t think so. The place I need to go to isn’t around here. Didn’t I give you two books? Remember to practice hard, once you have the ability, it will be advantageous for you.”

“I understand. Thank you very much Feng Jiu.” She held her hand as she spoke, knowing that from tomorrow onwards, she would never see her again.
