2544: No Return

No Return

"It's not clear yet." Xuanyuan Mo Ze said, then strode back inside. 0

Guan Xilin and the others stepped forwards quickly and went to the inner chamber. When they saw Feng Jiu's pale face, they couldn't help worrying: "Little Jiu, are your injuries very serious? Why is your face so pale?"

"I'm fine, they're just superficial injuries, I just need to rest." She reassured them with a smile and told them not to worry. 

Mo Chen stepped forward and saw that she didn't look well, so he came to the bedside and said: "Stretch your hand out, I'll check your pulse."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled lightly: "Have you forgotten that I'm also a doctor? I know my body, I'm fine."

Mo Chen looked at her upon hearing those words, he didn't speak again and just stared at her deeply for a moment, then he looked away. 

"We were just talking about it outside, we were wondering if those people who suddenly attacked you were coming for Hao'er." Guan Xilin said and looked at Feng Jiu's expression. 

She was slightly startled, then she shook her head and said with a smile: "No, it's someone else. And I'm afraid they're not so easy to deal with." Judging from the strength of those people, this time they were definitely just testing the waters. If they were to attack her later, they would definitely be even stronger. 

There were always people who moved against her, and she was never afraid of the enemies' strength. However, she didn't expect that this would happen after she had decided to bring Feng Ye home. She was now worried about facing such a strong opponent. 

She was worried that her family would be implicated. It had happened once before and she didn't want it to happen again.

"But, why did the two of you go to that place? I heard from Mo Chen that the place is quite some distance away from here and that it is the highest mountain in the area. Logically speaking, with your strength and Xuanyuan Mo Ze by your side, you should be hurt!" Guan Xilin found it a little strange and this was what he didn't understand either. 

With Xuanyuan Mo Ze protecting her coupled with her strength, how could she be hurt?

When she heard this, Feng Jiu smiled and said: "The scenery there is meant to be quite nice, so I went to have a look. What I didn't expect was that the people Cloud Devouring saved were their accomplices and they came to us with intent. Those two people wounded me when I wasn't prepared. Therefore, the only serious injury is the one by my dantian."

When he saw that she was still able to make jokes, Guan Xilin couldn't help frowning: "You can still joke when you're this injured. Why did you want to save those people anyway?" 

"I had a moment of kindheartedness, I thought that it was minimal effort anyway. I just didn't think that we would rescue a wolf instead of a sheep." She wasn't that bothered. Even if it had happened again, she would have sent Cloud Devouring over to take a look. 

Besides, if a weak woman were to encounter such a thing, her fate would be imaginable. Although she was cold-hearted, she was not ruthless. If she had the strength to help, naturally she wouldn't stand aside and do nothing. 

At her level of strength and status, if she had stood by and did nothing, what difference would it make between her and those devilry cultivators who didn't value human life?

"You all go back and rest! I'm a little tired, I want to sleep." She said softly and told them to go back to rest. 

When they saw the tiredness between her brows, they nodded and told her to take a good rest and heal her wounds, then they left. However, after Guan Xilin and the others left, Mo Chen remained, he stood there and didn't move. 

Feng Jiu was slightly surprised and looked at him: "Was there something else?"

Mo Chen looked at her and said warmly: "I don't think your situation is optimistic at all. I'm afraid it's not an ordinary injury."
