"The makeup is very pretty." Feng Jiu took a small snack with her chopsticks while commenting casually.

"Master," Luo Yu said as he touched the bruises on his face, which had been treated with medicine but had not yet disappeared. "We have humiliated you."

Feng Jiu smiled. "How so? It's not my bruised nose or swollen face. You're the one with that stain."

Several of them talked and sighed inaudibly. They had no way of knowing if the elderly man was so skilled. They would not have gone up to fight if they had known.

"Don't you have a mission tomorrow?" With that face? I doubt the employers will be pleased." She chuckled and sipped her wine. "But it's fine, and the colour is just right,"

"Master, Elder Mei is so skilled; why did he have to come all the way up to our manor? What does he want to do here? Is there any danger if you put him here?" Luo Yu voiced his concern.

"Rather than having him stare in secret, bring it into the light. There should be no danger, in my opinion. You don't have to be worried about the manor's affairs. Rest assured!"

Feng Jiu gave them a quick glance and warned, "Be careful outside. Don't be so impetuous. I can't help you if something goes wrong."

"Don't worry, Master, we already know." Several of them said, "We'll go back and put on some more medicine." After giving her a salute, they left.

The following morning, several of them, including Gray Wolf, left the manor, and the manor seemed much quieter after they left.

Feng Jiu entered the space and cultivated until noon, when she returned to the courtyard to rest on the soft couch with a book covering her face.

Leng Hua came in and announced, "Master, the Alchemist Guild in the city has sent an invitation letter."

"Read it." Feng Jiu said lazily.

"Yes."

Leng Hua replied and informed her of the general content. "They invite Master to the Alchemist Guild at noon tomorrow, saying that there is an Alchemist Exchange Meeting and would like to invite Master to attend."

"Decline it." Feng Jiu said faintly, without any interest.

"Yes." Leng Hua replied, putting the invitation letter away. "The Jiang family, one of the eight influential families in the city, sent an invitation saying that tomorrow is their Patriarch's birthday and would like to invite Master to visit their home."

"The Jiang family?" Feng Jiu curled her lips, her face still covered by the book. "This Jiang family is also interesting; they unexpectedly still want me to visit their home. It's just that I dislike the Jiang family and don't want to go."

When Leng Hua heard her words, he smiled and said, "Then I'll decline it on your behalf. There's one more in which Master might be interested."

"Oh? What?" Feng Jiu asked, a little interested in what he would say.

"Tomorrow, an auction will be held at Heavenly Treasure Building, the largest auction house in the city. It is said that they have plenty of quality items. Would Master be interested to have a look?"

Feng Jiu removed the book from her face and asked, "Auction house? If that's the case, I can go and take a look. You can schedule it for tomorrow!" She paused and then asked, "Does Elder Mei always guard the gate?"

"He's been sleeping soundly at the gate," Leng Hua replied with a wry smile. He was perplexed by the thought of that Elder Mei. Why would a man stronger than their master stand guard at the door?

Feng Jiu stood up, relaxed her muscles, and then said, "Go, call him to the practice field for me." After saying that, she left the room.
