Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor
chapter-2761

She played with the teacup in her hand casually and continued speaking: “What’s more, Old Man Tianji only told me to go up the ladder that day, I guess he didn’t think I would make it past the door! Besides, the most important thing about the trip is not the door at the top of the Immortal Ascension Ladder, but the harvest of the trip.”

When she spoke about this, her lips curled into a smile: “Well, don’t think too much, go and finish your jobs!” She waved her hand and indicated for them to leave.

“Yes.” The two of them responded and bowed before retreating.

After sitting in the attic for a while, Feng Jiu looked at the sky, then she got up and went out. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Feng Jiu quietly entered Feng Manor. The Manor was heavily guarded, and not long after she had climbed over the wall, she saw a dark guard appear and was about to shout, when she made a silent notion.

“It’s me.” She said, and looked at the stunned face of the dark guard. She smiled: “Don’t alert the others.”

“Yes, Master.”

The dark guard listened to her order and quietly retreated. At the same time, she gave an order to the other dark guards. Feng Jiu avoided the servants in the house and walked to Leng Shuang’s courtyard without avoiding the dark guards. She planned to go and see the child first.

The dark guard in hiding watched her enter Leng Shuang’s courtyard and couldn’t help whispering: “Why does Master like dressing up as a beggar so much? Look, even her appearance has changed. If it weren’t for her voice and demeanour, I wouldn’t have recognised her.”

“Does Master need to tell us why she does anything? She must have her reasons for doing so.” Another dark guard said.

“But why did Master come back so quickly? Judging from Master’s appearance, she has returned in secret. I wonder if the people over at Heavenly Pill Tower know.”

“If Master hasn’t said anything, we shouldn’t ask. Master has already instructed not to spread the news of her return. Other than us dark guards, it is not our responsibility whether other people know or not. If Master wants them to know, she will let them know.”

In the courtyard, Leng Shuang, who was cultivating, opened her eyes immediately when the door was pushed open: “Who?”

“It’s me.” Feng Jiu replied and stepped inside.

......

When she saw her Master disguised as a beggar, Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment: “Master? You’re back?”

“I just entered the city today. I came here after I went to Heavenly Pill Tower.” Feng Jiu said and stepped forward. She looked at the sleeping child on the bed and said with a smile: “This little guy seems to have gained weight recently!”

She stretched out her hand to pick the child up, but when she saw her dirty appearance, she retracted her hand.

“Master, let me get someone to prepare some water for you to bathe first!” Leng Shuang said.

“I’ll bathe here! Don’t let anyone in the Manor know that I’m back. Especially the one in the guest room in the west courtyard.” Feng Jiu said. She stretched her waist and looked at Leng Shuang’s room.

Upon hearing her Master’s words, Leng Shuang’s expression changed slightly. There was a hint of a smile in her eyes and she responded immediately: “Yes.” She went outside and gave some orders for the servants to prepare water for a bath and also to bring some food over.

The maid brought over porridge and side dishes quickly. When she was about to enter her room, Leng Shuang came out: “I’ll take it!” Leng Shuang said, and she took the things and told the maid to retreat, then she carried the things into her room.

“Master, I told the kitchen to cook some porridge this evening. It’s just nice that Master is back, you can eat some.” She put the food on the table and said: “Let’s eat after Master has bathed.”
