Because of the doubt in his heart, he went down the stairs to search out the red figure he saw…..
On the other side, Feng Jiu and Guan Xi Lin found themselves a good restaurant and booked a private room ordering more than ten dishes and two jars of wine, closing the door tight before they sat down to eat.
Setting the face veil down at the side, Feng Jiu poured out the wine as she said: "Big Brother, let's just stay here for a period! Let's go find a quiet little place with a nice yard out for rent. It will be a lot more convenient than staying at an inn."
"Alright, we'll go look for one right after this." In regards to that, Guan Xi Lin completely had no objections.
"Little Jiu, don't just keep drinking wine. Have some double boiled soup first." He filled a bowl up with the soup and used a scoop to ladle out a piece of meat fried with egg: "Try it, see if it's good."
"You eat! I'll do it myself."
As she said that, she noticed that he wasn't really used to having to use his left land and couldn't even hold his chopsticks properly, hence she picked out a bit of every dish and piled it up into his bowl and she said: "After a period when I am able to raise up my cultivation, I will go find all the herbs that is needed to heal your right hand."
Hearing those words startled him a little and he asked: "It can still be cured?"
"Mmm, only that the things needed are not easy to find." She drank up the bowl of soup and her chopsticks picked up a few mouthfuls of the dishes as she said: "But there will be no problem, I have complete confidence that I can restore your arm to the way it was before."
With her skills in Medicine, as long as she was able to find all the necessary herbs, there was no ailment that she would not be able to treat.
Not mention that it was just the tendon around the shoulder that had snapped from the bite, even if the arm was completely torn off, she would be able to rejoin the limb back.
Although he did not rue the fact that his arm was crippled, but hearing her say that it was still possible to be treated had nevertheless made him feel very glad. "Little Jiu, if my arm can really be cured, then I will work extremely hard at my cultivation and protect you."
"Sure."
She nodded and smiled. She knew that he held considerable power. Having been able to defeat a pack of wolves and a ferocious tiger with just his own strength, it could be imagined how explosive his power must have been when pushed into a corner.
She also believed that he would grow even stronger in the future!
Downstairs, Murong Yi Xuan was drinking at a table on the first level, his collected eyes looking deep in thought.
He did not know what made him follow the figure all the way here and he did not understand why his mind was thinking that the figure is red was Qing Ge. But with that one glance from upstairs earlier, the back view had really been very much alike.
But after following them all the way here, he was no longer that sure at that moment, because the disposition of the two people were not the same.
Qing Ge was gentle and soft spoken, while the lady in red was wild and alluring. The suit of red clothes on her were highly attention grabbing and also his Qing Ge was outstanding as well, but, different from this person. Moreover, she never wore red.
Why would he suspect that the Qing Ge who was already on her way back was an imposter? Those mannerisms, each scowl and each smile was just as familiar and it was obvious it should be her!
However, a voice in his heart was still questioning it, that gave him no choice but to be suspicious.
After a long period of time had passed, when the doors of the private room upstairs were opened, the figure in red appeared before him once again. The shocked and mesmerized eyes of the diners both upstairs and downstairs could not help themselves but follow her figure helplessly. The face veil that swayed slightly as she walked made all of them wish fervently for a strong gust of wind to blow at that moment, that would blow that darned face veil off and reveal what's underneath.
Murong Yi Xuan lifted his eyes to look and he saw the lady in red with her attention grabbing disposition slowly walk down. Every single step she took was confident was filled with grace, her red clothes like fire, bright as the setting sun. But from her being, a cold unapproachable air emanated, making one who neared her quickly feel, the presence of the noble and revered air of a conqueror, emitting out from her body naturally.
Detecting that a pair of eyes was probing her out, Fei Jiu reflexively turned to look in the direction. When their eyes met, no one understood the light the glinted in their eyes…..
When she saw Murong Yi Xuan, Feng Jiu was a little surprised. Surprised that she would see him here.
Actually, she had noticed that someone was following behind them earlier. But as she did not feel any sinister intentions coming from the person, she had not bothered herself with it. Thinking back now, that person on their tail must have been him.
But, wasn't he accompanying Feng Qing Ge? Why was he appearing here?
And that probing look in his eyes, what did that mean?
Under the veil, a playful smile came onto her lips. Her eyes indifferent as she turned away, she continued walking on her way out. However, she had only taken a few steps when the man who had been sitting down was suddenly standing right in front of her.
She did not say anything but merely lifted her eyes to look at him.
Murong Yi Xuan did not say a word as well. He merely stood there before Feng Jiu and silently looked into her eyes, seemingly trying to detect the slightest tinge of familiarity from within those eyes, but he was disappointed.
Although that pair of eyes looked almost exactly identical to hers, but the wild and uninhibited look those eyes gave out did not belong to her.
The eyes before him were really beautiful, just like the pair the person in his memory had. But the eyes of the Feng Qing Ge he remembered were warm and gentle, while the ones before him were hiding its sharp and penetrating gaze, the two completely different feel he got confused him a little and he didn't know how to differentiate between them.
"Kid, what are you doing?"
Seeing that something did not seem right, Guan Xi Lin immediately stepped forward and his muscular body was suddenly standing in between the two of them, blocking the gaze the two people had been sharing.
Murong Yi Xuan snapped back to attention and turned to look at the towering man before him. He gave him a refined smile and said: "My brother, I saw that the lady looked very much like a friend of mine and I just wanted to greet her."
It might be the refined and cultured air coming out from his mannerisms that convinced Guan Xi Lin that he was not a villain, hence he hesitated a moment while he turned his head back to look at the person right behind him.
"Young lady, peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Monastery blooms in March."
He looked at her quietly, his eyes so gentle they almost oozed out from them. And that seemingly senseless statement he made confused Guan Xi Lin, where he could make head or tail of it.
Only Feng Jiu's heart skipped. From within her memory, there was a very warming scene…..
"Big Brother Murong, I heard that the peach blossoms in the Peach Blossom Monastery are the most beautiful, their red and white contrast complements each other perfectly and they cover the entire mountain in an endless stretch. Is that really true?" Under a peach tree, an exquisitely beautiful girl asked with her head slightly lifted, the deep adoration in her eyes obvious as she looked at the white robed man beside her.
The white robed man's eyes were indulgently gentle as he reached out his hand to hold the beautiful girl beside him, and say in a highly gentle voice: "Yes, the peach blossoms at the Peach Blossom Monastery stretches further than the eye can see, and when the wind blows, the red petals fills the air like a rain of flowers. Wait for March this year when the peach blossoms bloom, I will bring you there to see."
Wait for March this year when the peach blossoms bloom, I will bring you there to see them…..
Her slightly lowered eyes suddenly flashed in a brief moment of surprise and her heart winced slightly with pain. She knew, that was the deep affection and longing the body's original owner had for Murong Yi Xuan.
The person was right here, the words feeling like it was just said yesterday. But the woman of his heart was already gone from this realm…..
Murong Yi Xuan's heart tightened, his deep gaze staring at the slightly lowered pair of eyes, trying to look for any subtle change in her expression.
"When the peach blossoms at the Peach Blossom Monastery blooms in March, I will bring my little sister to go see them. I don't need you to remind us."
Oblivious to what those words meant, Guan Xi Lin said brusquely, holding Feng Jiu in his, he strode out of the place with big and wide steps, grumbling as he went: "Sis, let's not bother with that little pretty boy. One look at him and I can tell that he is a womaniser. What nonsense with peach blossoms blooming in March, I'll bet he wishes for all the blossoming girls to bloom around him."
"Pfft!"
Hearing Guan Xi Lin words, Feng Jiu could not help herself but laughed aloud. She turned around with a backward glance, and her eyes were smiling brightly…..
