Unknown Origin

Master was no match for the elderly man?0

"Do you really want to stay?" Feng Jiu asked the smiling elderly man.

"Mm, I want to stay here." He said with a chuckle. "I'll guard the door for you! I promise not to let a fly in."

As she heard his words, Feng Jiu smiled and asked, "Will it be considered conceited to ask a Strong Exponent like you to act as a gatekeeper?"

He waved his hand. "No, it won't. I have nowhere to go. You have a lovely home and are responsible for my lodging, food, and wine. It's already pretty great." 

When Feng Jiu noticed this, he stared at him for a moment before asking, "How should I call you?"

"Hehe, it's fine to call me Old Mei." The elderly man said with a smile.

"Leng Hua, find him a place to stay and tell him what to pay attention to in our manor." Feng Jiu told Leng Hua, who was nearby. 

"Yes." Leng Hua replied and then told the elderly man, "Come with me!"

"Hey, I knew you were a good person and would take me in." He smiled at Feng Jiu and laughed happily as he turned around to follow Leng Hua. "Great. I finally have a place to stay, I no longer need to wander." 

Feng Jiu waited until the elderly man was out of sight before leaving. She couldn't see through this person, but she was certain that he wanted to stay here. But what was he planning to do here?

She would just watch for now since she couldn't see through him. She would be able to tell after some time had passed. 

The elderly man followed Leng Hua to the inner courtyard. He looked all around and inside. When he heard a child's giggles, he asked with a smile, "Somehow, I heard the voices of children. Are there any children in the manor?"

Leng Hua looked back at him and saw that he was smiling and had a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He said, "That's the manor's Little Master." "

The elderly man didn't ask any more questions, but when he went inside, he saw that woman dressed in black emerge with the child in her arms.

"How did he come in?" Leng Shuang asked, looking at the man Leng Hua had brought in.

"Sister, he's Elder Mei." Leng Hua explained. After giving the elderly man a glance, he said, "This morning, he snuck inside and slept at the gate. Master requested that he stay and guard the door. I'll take him to the courtyard to settle down, and I'll return later to find you."

Leng Shuang nodded and asked no further questions.

"Oh, the child is adorable. He's white and fat, so cute." The elderly man took a step forward, gazed lovingly at Little Hao'er, and asked, "Can I hold him? He looks very cute and must be so cuddly."

Leng Shuang took a step back and stared at him cautiously. "Don't you want to go to the courtyard? Hurry up!"

A look of regret crossed the elderly man's face as he mumbled, "That big fat boy is so amusing, I still want to hold and play with him! Oh, I can't even get close to him."

Watching the two of them leave, Leng Shuang walked around the courtyard with Hao'er in her arms. When she saw Feng Jiu approaching, she took a step forward and called out, "Master."

Feng Jiu reached out to hold Hao'er's hand and played with him, then asked, "Have you met Elder Mei?"

"I met him when I went over there just now. He was trying to hug the little master, but I wouldn't let him." Leng Shuang said. "Master, that man's origin is unknown. Will it be dangerous to let him stay there?"
