Chapter 4148 Pay One’s Respects
The owner of the Black Market who had come with his men and brought gifts, looked a little nervous and anxious. After he learnt of the news, he sent someone to investigate and look into the identities of those people, but he didn’t expect her to actually be the Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu.
....He pondered for a whole night about whether he should come or not. Finally, he decided to come in person to apologise. After he arrived at the entrance of the inn, he personally went up to ask: “Have your distinguished guests woken up yet?”
The innkeeper was a little flustered when he saw such a big array of people, but he calmed down after hearing those words. The other party addressed the guests upstairs as distinguished guests so he probably wouldn’t make things difficult for them. So, after he had paused for a moment, he replied respectfully: “Those guests went to bed very late last night, they haven’t woken up yet!”
Upon hearing this, the owner of the Black Market paused for a moment, then said: “That’s fine! I’ll wait here until they wake up.” After he said this, he waved his hand and signalled to his men who were accompanying him to wait outside while he walked in with a middle-aged man and sat in a corner. The innkeeper didn’t dare to be negligent and quickly served them tea before taking his leave. The noises downstairs didn’t wake Feng Jiu and the others. Only Leng Shuang had woken up earlier to make Ye Fei Fei’s medicine and saw the owner of the Black Market sitting on the first floor. When the innkeeper saw Leng Shuang, he went over to the owner of the Black Market and said: “This Young Miss is with the woman in red.”
Upon hearing this, the owner of the Black Market who had been looking at Leng Shuang and already guessed it, stood up and called out hurriedly: “Miss Leng Shuang.”
Leng Shuang stopped and looked at the middle-aged man who was walking over.
The owner of the Black Market cupped his hands and said: “I am Chu Xiong, the owner of the Black Market. I learned that my subordinates have offended your Master, so I have come to apologise.”
When Leng Shuang heard this, she glanced at him and said: “My Master hasn’t woken up yet.” After she said that, she walked towards the kitchen. Chu Xiong paused when he saw this, then he looked at the innkeeper beside him and asked: “What is she doing in the kitchen?”
“This Young Miss is boiling medicine for the other Young Miss upstairs. That Young Miss was seriously injured when they came back. The bones in her arm were twisted and dislocated.” The innkeeper said in a low voice. Chu Xiong paused, he thought of what his men had done and sighed helplessly. He had heard that the Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu was extremely protective of her subordinates. Now that his subordinates had broken the arm of one of her subordinates, he was afraid that she wouldn’t let the matter go so easily!
He thought about the warehouse of the Black Market being cleared out and he smiled bitterly. This time, not only many of his subordinates had died, but all the treasures in the warehouse had also been taken. It was a double loss. If it had been someone else, he would have taken his treasures back, but this person was the Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu, so he could only swallow his loss. He returned to the table in the corner and sat down to wait. It was nearly noon before he saw a woman in red yawning and coming down from the second floor. As he looked at the beautiful woman in red, he nervously stood up immediately. Was this the Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu? The legendary Ghost Doctor Feng Jiu? She was truly… an indescribable beauty!
From the moment he saw her, he found that the most attractive attribute about her wasn’t her beautiful face, but the noble aura that emanated from within, the noble disposition in her gestures along with the casualness and laid back manner, inexplicably made one unable to look away.
However, he still lowered his head and lowered his eyes as he stepped forward and bowed respectfully: “Chu Xiong greets the Ghost Doctor.”
