Feng Jiu laughed when she heard this. Her gaze fell on him and she noticed that he had already reached Peak Martial Sacred Stage and she couldn’t help but smiled: “Elder brother, it looks like your trip this time has reaped some favourable chances! You are now at Peak Martial Sacred Stage, that’s very strong!”“That’s right, I’ve had some good fortune.” He responded. It was because he had some favourable chances while he had been away, that’s why his strength had advanced so fast. It would otherwise have taken at least ten years based on his normal cultivation speed to reach Peak Martial Sacred Stage.

At this moment, Duan Yingying who had been lying on the stone table unconscious awoke. When she opened her eyes and saw the terrifying man standing next to her, she fell to the ground in fright.

“Yingying, don’t be afraid, he is my elder brother.” Feng Jiu hurried over to help her up and picked up the writing brush to write on the piece of paper.

Even though she had read Feng Jiu’s words on the paper, she was still frightened and she clutched on tightly to Feng Jiu’s clothes as she hid behind her.

“She is so timid.” Guan Xilin said.

“She rarely comes into contact with people.” Feng Jiu patted her hand and wrote on the paper: “If you are scared then go back to your bedroom first, I will stay to chat with him.”

After she read the words, Duan Yingying nodded her head and lifted her skirt then ran out of the pavilion. When she looked back in a panic, she tripped on her skirt and nearly fell.

“Hey, be careful!” Feng Jiu yelled instinctively. As soon as she did, she remembered that she couldn’t hear her and couldn’t help but smiled.

When Guan Xilin saw she had left, he looked at Feng Jiu and said with a smile: “Little Jiu, how did this girl catch your eye? I can tell you treat her quite well!”

“We get along well I guess!” She smiled. The two of them sat side by side and chatted. After a while, she took him for a walk in the garden and showed him the Exquisite Seven Colour Flower.

“This is the elixir herb, City Lord Duan has promised that we can gather the herbs in three days. Once our affairs are dealt with here we can leave.”

“No problem.” He replied. From the corner of his eye, he saw Duan Yingying who had left earlier was coming back. She was holding a tray in her hand and had brought something with her.

“Look, she’s back again.” He motioned for her to turn and look.

Duan Yingying who was dressed in a plain dress was holding a tray in her hand. She had brought with her two dishes of food and a pot of wine. Her head was lowered slightly as she didn’t dare to look at Guan Xilin, as if she was unable to get used to the appearance of such a burly man in her courtyard.

When Feng Jiu saw her, she smiled and walked towards her: “Yingying you went to prepare food for us?” She gestured to the food and signed thank you.

Duan Yingying smiled at Feng Jiu and nodded her head then stepped back hurriedly.

Feng Jiu couldn’t help but chuckle upon seeing this. She looked at Guan Xilin who had walked out of the pavilion and smiled: “Elder brother, look, you must have really frightened her, she seems scared of you!”

“It’s only just that my beard hasn’t been trimmed, isn’t it? It’s not that scary is it?” He didn’t understand. When he walked about on the outside, his appearance seemed decent enough, and he didn’t scare off anyone.

“Not scary? Your physique is naturally big and burly to begin with anyway, and in the past two years your physique has changed too. Moreover, the profound energy from your cultivation would also affect your physique a little.”

When he heard what she said, Guan Xilin looked down at himself and smiled: “I actually think this is quite good, I can scare people.”

On the other side, City Lord Duan was questioning his second daughter who had just returned….
