YM778.TV Chapter 2119 - Why not worship her as a Master
The Old Madam sunk into her memories. Because of the acupuncture, she gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, she saw that Feng Jiu had already put the needles away.
“Is it done?” She asked, her ageing voice sounded a little hoarse.
Feng Jiu poured her a glass of water. “Please drink a cup of water! Your throat will be more comfortable.” She handed the water to her. “We’re done with today’s treatment. I’ll be back twice more, tomorrow and the day after. I’ll prepare some medicine for you to take later. After some time, all your old afflictions will be resolved.”
The Old Madam nodded. “Thank you very much.”
“This is what I should do.” Feng Jiu smiled and stood up. “I don’t know what else I can do for you.”
“You don’t owe us anything. You’ve done more than enough for us.” The Old Madam patted Feng Jiu’s hand. “It’s so late already. Go back and take a rest.”
“Alright, I’ll leave first.” Feng Jiu said, turning around and left. In a flash, her figure swept quietly into the night.
“Mistress.” The middle-aged woman came in from outside and looked at her mistress who was sitting on the soft couch. Seeing that she was in good spirits, she asked, “Mistress, are you able to rest?”
“I can’t sleep, accompany me for a chat!” She motioned her to sit down and talk.
“Yes.” The middle-aged woman came over and sat down beside her. That night, the lanterns in the small courtyard were on until dawn.
Early the next morning, Zhuo Junyue left the mansion. He first went to the auction in the city to find out if there were the three spirit herbs mentioned by Feng Jiu and then scoured the whole city’s hundred-year-old pharmacies to make inquiries. He didn’t come back until afternoon.
Conversely, Feng Jiu slept until mid-day. When she went out of the door, she saw the old man walking around the courtyard looking distressed. It’s rare to see the old man like this, so she asked. “What’s wrong? What are you doing so early in the morning?”
The old man took a glance at her. “What early morning? It’s early afternoon, and you’re the only one who can sleep until this late.”
She raised her eyebrows and looked at him who seemed too hesitant to speak. She smiled. “Do you have something to say? Why don’t you speak? I feel uncomfortable watching you so skittish.” As she spoke, she came into the courtyard and stretched out her body.
It’s rare that the old man didn’t stare at her in anger this time, but glanced at her from time to time. After hesitating for a long time, he answered, “The old man has just received the news. There’s something I have to deal with.”
Feng Jiu was stunned to hear this. “Is that all? Go ahead, then! Why are you so tangled?”
“Isn’t the old man afraid that after leaving, you will sneak away too? Who knows if I can’t find you in that Heavenly Pill Tower next.” He could not help muttering and stared at her uneasily.
Feng Jiu pulled a wry face when she heard his answer. “That’s my property. Haven’t you heard that a monk can’t run away from his temple? What’s there to worry about? If you can’t find me here, go to the Heavenly Pill Tower in Hundred Rivers City. Besides, I don’t have the need to avoid you, do I? ”
“So, you’re not going to play hide and seek with the old man?” The old man’s eyes brightened. “After I finish my work, I’ll go to Hundred Rivers City to look for you. Can you find time to teach me Tai Chi?”
When he said this, he stared at her strangely.. “Is it because the old man didn’t call you Master? Otherwise, the old man can worship you as my Master now.” In order to learn that technique, why not worship her as his Master?
