Chapter 1408 Who Is Looking For Me?
When he didn’t hear the expected compliment, he glanced at Feng Jiu and said; “I’m talking to you! Why are you daydreaming?”
“Huh?” Feng Jiu came out of her daze and stared at him with a blank look: “What?”
Upon seeing this, Chen Dao shook his head and waved his hand: “It’s nothing, you continue daydreaming! I’m eating my meat.” Saying that, he ignored him and picked up his Spirit Bamboo Rat meat to eat.
“Senior Brother Chen, I suddenly remembered there is something I need to attend to, I will leave first. I will have a drink with you next time.” As she spoke, she stood up and patted her clothes, dispersing the smell of the roasted meat from her body.
“Go ahead.” He said without even lifting his head.
Feng Jiu left after she bowed respectfully. She didn’t leave the Seventh Peak but headed towards the cave dwelling Luo Heng was staying at in the Seventh Peak.
“Senior Brother Luo? Senior Brother Luo?”
She called out a few times from outside the cave dwelling. After a while, she saw a sleepy Luo Heng walk out.
“Feng Jiu? It’s you? Come in, come in.” Luo Heng beckoned for her to come inside.
Feng Jiu followed him inside and entered his cave dwelling. When she saw him sitting at the stone table pouring himself some water to drink, she asked: “Senior Brother Luo, have you just woken up?”
“Well, last night I refined a pot of pills, so it was nearly dawn by the time I went to sleep.” He looked at her and said: “Why are you looking for me? Is there anything you need?”
“Well, it’s like this…..”
She sat down at the table and started chatting, asking about the Medicine Gathering Experience and some other questions. It was about noon by the time she left the cave dwelling.
After she left the cave dwelling, the smile on her face disappeared. When she thought about the information she had obtained from Luo Heng, her heart sank. It looked like though her mother was the core disciple of the Third Sun Patriarch, but her life wasn’t smooth sailing after all.
After all, though her alchemy skills were quite good, it couldn’t be compared to the others in the sect. In addition, she hadn’t been in the sect for a long time, and she didn’t have a strong backing like some of the others either. If Master Third Sun didn’t protect her, her situation would be unimaginable.
When she thought back to seeing the scars on her wrist yesterday, the look in her eyes turned cold. She walked back. Her mother should not be bullied!
A few days had passed. She had come back down from delivering medicinal herbs to the Eighth Peak. Over the past few days she had made the trip once or twice a day. Although she had spent a lot of time walking around the Eighth Peak, however, other than the last time she saw her mother, she hadn’t had the opportunity to see her again.
It was the same for the other people in the Eighth Peak. She saw the disciples that were outside the cave dwelling but never the people inside the cave dwelling.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts walking down the peak, she heard a voice call out to her.
“Feng Jiu. Feng Jiu.”
She looked up and saw an errand boy running towards her, so she asked: “What’s the matter?”
“Have you finished delivering the medicinal herbs for the Eighth Peak?” he asked.
“Yes, I’ve just delivered them and I am about to go back!” She nodded as she replied.
“Oh, alright. Follow me then. Someone is looking for you.” With that, he led the way and motioned for Feng Jiu to follow him.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu followed him without saying anything. She followed him all the way to the medicinal field in the back of the Seventh Peak and saw that he had stopped.
She asked in confusion: “Who is looking for me?”
“We’re looking for you.” All of a sudden, five or six people had come out from behind and surrounded her.
