4266 Astonished at Heart

“No, no, no, come, come, sit.” Ruan Pingzhi laughed and reached out to invite her to sit down, saying, “This Qilin Mountain is very dangerous, why would Young Miss Feng think of going to Qilin Mountain?”

Old Gu’s introduction only mentioned her surname Feng, he didn’t even say her first name. Those here are all experienced people and they know that she doesn’t want people to ask more questions, so they didn’t ask anything else, they only asked about the purpose of her trip.

Under City Lord Gu’s guide, she came to a seat and sat down, then said, “I heard that there is an ancient Qilin beast in the Qilin Mountain, I also want to see it. When I heard that City Lord Gu said that all of you will also go to Qilin Mountain, I asked him to bring us along.”

“Us?” An old man stroked his beard, then seemed to remember something and laughed, “Oh yes, I just heard Old Gu say that there are still a few of you who have not yet arrived and were delayed on the way, I wonder what those few people are again?”

Feng Jiu smiled and said, “It’s the people beside me.”

Upon hearing this, the people looked at each other, wanting to speak. If they were to bring this Young Miss Feng alone, it wouldn’t be a problem, after all, looking at her strength it shouldn’t be too weak, only, if they were to bring a few more people from her side, wouldn’t they have to take care of them then? This would slow down their journey, and would not help them half as much on this trip.

Wanting to open their mouths to refuse, but also seeming to feel that it wasn’t too good, they all suppressed their minds, thinking that, after that, they would discuss it again, or see what the strength of those few people actually was before saying anything.

A few people were chatting in the hall, drinking tea and joking about the plan this time, and after a long time, just as they were about to disperse and rest on their own, they heard the Steward come to report.

“City Lord, the other few guests have arrived.” Because of the previous instructions, as soon as Du Fan and the others arrived, the Steward brought them in.

“Oh? They’ve arrived? Then invite them in!” The City Lord said, not knowing exactly what kind of people the other party was, therefore, half of the required courtesy would not be missing.

Du Fan several people walked in, they bowed towards Feng Jiu and called out, “Master.” Only then did they look at the other people in the hall as they sized them up.

As they came in, the people in the hall were also sizing them up, originally thinking that it would be someone from this Young Miss Feng Jiu’s family, but they didn’t expect to hear that several people had called Feng Jiu their Master, which surprised them even more.

Because, be it the appearance or temperament, they were excellent. If one were to say that they come from a noble family, no one would question. What’s more, these few people’s strength cultivation seems to be not weak yet they addressed Young Miss Feng as their Master. They couldn’t help but secretly ponder in their hearts, this Young Miss Feng, in the end, what was her origin? How were the people around her so outstanding?

“This is Boundless City’s City Lord Jiang, and the other few are the Nascent Soul cultivators who are travelling with us this time.” Feng Jiu briefly introduced.

Seeing this, Du Fan’s few people slightly arched their hands and saluted, “Greetings to all of you.”

The several Nascent Soul cultivators nodded slightly in a gesture and did not get up, nor did they pay excessive attention to them, in their opinion, their strength might not be considered weak, but it was no more than stronger than theirs, plus the fact that they were originally Old Predecessors in their families, so there was no need to be too courteous to these juniors.

“You guys are also tired after travelling all the way here, so just rest here in my place for two days first, and then we’ll move after everything is ready!” City Lord Jiang said, stood up and smiled, “The guest rooms are all ready for you all, so you all go and rest first!” Saying that, he summoned the Steward to come in.
