1455 Something seems differen

“It’s here.”

Feng Jiu walked in and saw that there were traces of the furnace explosion on the ground. The furnace fragments had been cleaned up. Except for the traces on the ground, they couldn’t find the fragments. Even the man refining the pill was not sighted.

She strolled inside, taking a slight look. When she stepped on a piece of iron inserted in the soil, she stopped and squatted down to have a look. A fragment of a furnace was half-buried in the sand. She took it out and found some residues on it.

“What this man wants to refine should be pills of the fifth rank or above. But the furnace couldn’t withstand it and exploded. Take a look.” She handed the furnace fragment over the stove to her mother: “There are still residues on it. You can tell from the residue that it is a pill of the fifth rank or above, but he failed.”

Shangguan Wanrong took the fragment and looked at it carefully. When her eyes touched the vein pattern on the fragment, she withdrew her gaze and fear flashed in her eyes.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Feng Jiu’s eyes flashed. “Martial Uncle, do you recognize the fragments of the furnace?”

“No, I don’t recognize it.” Shangguan Wanrong shook her head. But, she gripped that piece of furnace fragment in his hand tightly with a thoughtful look.

Seeing this, Feng Jiu didn’t inquire again. After taking a look at this area for a while, she said, “This person should have left. Let’s go too.” She could guess that her mother knew the fragments of the furnace. She should know who was refining pills here. Since her mother didn’t say so, she didn’t ask.

“Mm, let’s go outside.” She put away the fragment. After controlling her expression, she left with Feng Jiu.

Not long after they left, a figure came out of a cave halfway up the mountain. He stood there watching them leave. After a long time, he turned around and entered the cave.

When the two went out toward the outskirts, they met Duan Mubai who came toward the interior.

“Junior Sister, are you alright?” When Duan Mubai saw the two, he naturally ignored Feng Jiu and placed his concern on Shangguan Wanrong.

Feng Jiu coughed lightly. Without waiting for her mother to speak, she said with a smile, “Martial Uncle Duan, you really care about us. But, don’t worry. Martial Uncle Shangguan and I are alright!”

Her father was not here. She would drive the lascivious men around her mother away!

Duan Mubai glanced at her and yelled gloomily. “Your elder is speaking, why did you interrupt? Stay on the side.” Inwardly, he thought this young errand boy was not very tactful.

His displeased gaze moved away from Feng Jiu and fell on Shangguan Wanrong. “I don’t know why, but there was a beast tide in this mystic realm. Fortunately, it has calmed down. Now that I see that you are alright, Junior Sister, I feel relieved.”

“I made you worry, Senior Brother.” Shangguan Wanrong said and glanced at Feng Jiu with a faint smile.

Duan Mubai was surprised at this scene. He felt something seemed different between his Junior Sister and the errand boy. It was as if they had become close to each other and her gaze on Feng Jiu, the errand boy, contained some…
