3336 Say Thanks
“There’s no need for formalities.” Guan Xilin said with a warm smile, “Your master is my sister, but I am not your master. You and I can interact as peers.”
Hearing this, Si Que and Mu Xin exchanged glances. They had only recently pondered how to address him. Now that they had heard his words, they felt a sense of relief. They clasped hands and exclaimed, “Thank you, Brother Guan. Then we shall address each other as brothers!”
They talked in the hall for a while before Leng Hua came in and said, “Master, the kitchen has prepared food and wine. Would you like to have a meal now?”
“That’s fine.” Feng Jiu nodded.
Si Que and Mu Xin stood up, “Master, we need to return to the Shao family. Since there are no other matters here, we will take our leave.”
“Why don’t you stay for the meal?” Feng Jiu looked at the two.
“No.” They shook their heads. They didn’t want to intrude because they knew Feng Jiu and the others had just returned and would probably want to spend some time together.
“I’ll see you off!” Guan Xilin stood up, and turned to Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze, “I will see them out.” Then, he made a gesture of invitation to Si Que and Mu Xin.
They bowed slightly and followed Guan Xilin out the door. They talked casually the entire way there until Guan Xilin saw them off and returned to the hall.
“Du Fan, have the servants set the food and wine under that shady tree!” Guan Xilin pointed to a tree in the courtyard, smiled and said, “Let’s all gather together and have some food before everyone goes to rest.”
“Yes.” Du Fan replied, told the servants to prepare, and was about to go to the kitchen to check the preparations when he saw a figure appearing at the main gate.
“Elder Jiang?” Du Fan was surprised and went over to him. “What brings you here?” Elder Jiang was the one who came to look for a sixth-grade Breakthrough Pill many years ago.
The master instructed him at the time to collect medicinal materials in exchange for a sixth-grade pill. After the master left, it was up to him to take care of this. So, when Elder Jiang went to Feng Manor with the collected medicinal materials and couldn’t find Feng Jiu, he later contacted him after getting the news. Later on, after testing the medicinal materials, Du Fan gave Elder Jiang the sixth-grade Breakthrough Pill.
Since then, they had not seen him in a long time. Unexpectedly, he came today. He probably heard that the master had returned and came to see her.
“Steward Du.”
Elder Jiang quickly bowed upon seeing him. “I heard that Ghost Doctor had returned, so I came to personally thank her.” He continued, “I recently discovered a rare spirit herb on my travels and decided to bring it to Ghost Doctor.”
Du Fan responded with a smile, “In that case, please come in!” He invited him in and led him towards the front courtyard.
Feng Jiu, Xuanyuan Mo Ze, and Guan Xilin were seated in the courtyard under a tree. Leng Shuang arrived with Little Hao’er, while Qin Xin waited nearby.
“Master, Elder Jiang said he wanted to thank you in person, so I invited him in.” With a smile, Du Fan cast a sidelong glance at Elder Jiang standing next to him.
Elder Jiang couldn’t contain his excitement when he saw both Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu and stepped forward, “Greetings, Ghost Doctor, Hell’s Lord. Ever since I received the pill from Steward Du back then, I’ve wanted to thank the Ghost Doctor in person,” he said respectfully.
