Feng Jiu laughed and said: "How will that happen? You know how well skilled Leng Shuang is. Moreover, do not forget that you want to defeat Guan Xi Ruan before the eyes of everyone in the Guan Family next month, so, shouldn't you be spending more time on your cultivation?"
Feng Jiu paused a moment and then continued to say: "What's more, I heard that the scenery at the Peach Blossom Monastery is excellent and I intend to stay there a few days before coming back!"
"Stay a few days?"
Guan Xi Lin was surprised a moment before he said: "But the Peach Blossom Monastery has never allowed anyone any overnight accommodations before!"
Feng Jiu laughed slyly. "They have never done that, but….. Look at what this is!" She pulled out something from the spatial space and waved it before Guan Xi Lin's face.
Guan Xi Lin took it from her hand to peruse it and his eyes widened involuntarily as he exclaimed: "Land deed? The land deed for the Peach Blossom Monastery! ? How….. how did you manage to get that?"
"Last month, someone came to the black market asking to see me. I had initially not wanted to bother with it at first, but when I saw that the remuneration was the Peach Blossom Monastery, I accepted it. So, henceforth, the place now belongs entirely to us."
She grinned and kept the land deed away as she said: "As I currently happen to have some time on my hands recently, I thought of going there to have a look. For one, I will be able to go and appreciate and enjoy the view of the flowers, on the other hand, I will also be able to go take a good look at the place. If I find the place to be suitable, I will just use it as a foothold spot for the Ghost Doctor."
Guan Xi Lin's eyes lit up and he said: "The peach blossoms stretch over a very large area at the Peach Blossom Monastery and the outer perimeter is filled with peach blossoms of various colours. But, even though its name is called the Peach Blossom Monastery, but in reality, it has nothing to do with monasteries in anyway. I have seen it from afar once before, and saw that the courtyards and pavilions within were highly elegant. And I have also heard that the peach blossoms in the places within the inner perimeter where people are not allowed to enter were transplanted from other places and they actually bloom all year round, and that they are more beautiful than anyone can imagine."
Hearing that, Feng Jiu cast a knowing sideways glance teasingly at him and said: "My brother, you seem to know a lot about it!"
Guan Xi Lin scratched at his head and he laughed sheepishly as he said: "I went there with a few friends before and that was how I know all this."
As he spoke, he saw Feng Jiu still staring at him with a wide smile and he waved his hand at her to say: "You guys just go! I won't go with you guys this time. I'll wait till the next trip."
"Mmm. When we've gotten everything ready over there, it will still not be too late for you and Leng Hua to come over." Feng Jiu nodded and glanced over at Leng Hua who was still practising his Tai Chi and she said: "Come over here."
Leng Hua fell into the rest position and he breathed out lightly before he came running over.
"Mistress."
Ever since he awoke, his health had been improving day by day. He, who had found it difficult to even walk a few steps before was now even able to learn Taichi from his Mistress.
Although, he had similarly thought that Tai Chi with its weak and feeble strokes wasn't of much use, but as his Mistress had said that it was good for his health, he had carried on with his practice of it.
Looking at the youth who had put on a little weight over the past two months, Feng Jiu smiled and reminded him: "I will be going with your sister to the Peach Blossom Monastery. You stay behind and nurse yourself back to health. And, also watch over my brother, make sure that he does not goof off."
Leng Hua glanced at Guan Xi Lin beside him and he nodded solemnly as he said: "Yes, I will watch the Young Master."
"Why would I need him to watch me? It will be good enough if the kid can take care of himself." Guan Xi Lin grumbled softly to himself.
Feng Jiu ignored him and went on to say: "One more thing. You must practise your Tai Chi every day and night."
"I will." Leng Hua agreed once more.
At that moment, Leng Shuang came in dressed in a fitting full black suit. When she saw all of them in the courtyard, she came over to Feng Jiu and said: "Mistress, the horse carriage is all ready."
"Mmm. We'll leave after I have a quick change of clothes." Immediately upon saying that, Feng Jiu turned and walked off towards her room.
Leng Shuang turned to her younger brother after that and her gaze softened as she reminded him gently: "I am going out with the Mistress and you take good care of yourself here at home."
Leng Hua nodded and he said worriedly as well: "Big Sister, protect the Mistress well, and do not let anyone bully her."
Upon hearing those words, Guan Xi Lin nodded his head and said: "That's right, you must really watch her closely. Especially for all those lecherous men. Do not allow them to come close to Little Jiu."
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. "By right, I should go along with her." But a pity, Little Jiu would not allow him to and moreover, he needed to stay at home to cultivate.
Leng Shuang saw the worried expression on his face and said: "Young Master, there is no need to worry. I will make sure I watch the Mistress very closely." Upon saying that, she turned to Leng Hua and said a few more words to him before walking over to stand outside Feng Jiu's door to wait for her to come out.
Not long after, Feng Jiu came out changed into a suit of red as she strode out, and went outside with Leng Shuang. They climbed onto the horse carriage and Feng Jiu said to the two people who had come see them off at the doors: "We're leaving already! Go back inside!"
"Be careful on the roads." Guan Xi Lin said.
Actually, from here to the Peach Blossom Monastery, it was only about four hours by horse carriage and he was acting like they were going far far away, constantly reminding them worriedly like an old mother hen.
Feng Jiu pulled down the drapes over the windows and Leng Shuang who was sitting on the outside asked the coachman to depart and they left on their way to the Peach Blossom Monastery.
– At that same moment, Feng Residence, Crescent Moon Court –
"Little Ge, are you ready? Yi Xuan has been waiting outside for half the day already."
Dressed in black, the towering General Feng was pacing in circles outside, glancing intermittently at the tightly shut doors of the room. When he saw the room doors open, and his precious daughter coming out through them, he hurried himself over.
"What should your father do with you? Ever since Ruo Yun left, you don't even want a maid to serve you, and insists on doing everything yourself. What has it come down to? You are the daughter of Feng Xiao and you do not have to do anything like this. The servants will take care of it all for you properly and as it should be. Listen to your father. Get a personal maid to serve you, if it really still doesn't work out, your father, I will personally pick one from the Feng Household itself."
Feng Qing Ge's eyes were filled with mirth and her ravishly beautiful face was tinged with a playful pout as she grasped his hand in hers.
"Father, do not worry yourself on that. It's just a small insignificant matter. I can do it myself. Moreover, I am the daughter of a gallant general. If I need others to help me with every single little thing, wouldn't people criticise me for being overly weak and useless?"
When Feng Xiao heard that, his heavy brows immediately arched up and his fiery gaze glared while he said: "Who dares to say that! ? Whoever does that, I will definitely teach him a good lesson!"
His voice paused a moment before he continued: "Daughters are supposed to be brought up dainty. And, I have only just one precious daughter, if I do not dote on you or indulge you, who would I go dote in?"
"Alright, alright. We'll discuss about this again. We should hurry to the front hall and not let Big Brother Murong wait for too long." She pulled on Feng Xiao's hand and dragged him towards the front hall.
"So you realise that you've kept him waiting? Then hurry get yourself a personal maid when you come back so she can help you with some things to save you lots of time."
As he grumbled, although his voice was brash and his face stern, but his gaze looking at her was doting.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll listen to whatever you say. We'll find one when I get back. We'll find one." She agreed hastily.
Feng Xiao finally nodded in satisfaction and revealed a smile: "That's more like it."
In the front hall, Murong Yi Xuan was in a little bit of a daze as he stared into the tea in the teacup he was holding up. Recently, his mind would often suddenly think of the girl dressed in red he saw in the Rock Forest Town.
For no other reason, but just because of that unexplainable sense of familiarity.
He had once suspected that Qing Ge had been switched out but things that only the two of them were supposed to know about, this Feng Qing Ge knew all about them.
Would that mean that he had been thinking too much on it all this time?
