Chapter 1448 Keep for self defence

With that look in her eyes, sitting quietly with a blank and despondent gaze, Shangguan Wanrong had no reaction even though the pheasant on the fire was slightly burnt.

Seeing this, Feng Jiu took the branch in her hand and asked her, “Martial Uncle Shangguan, you haven’t answered me yet. Will my mother come home with me?”

At this, Shangguan Wanrong came to her senses. She lifted her sleeve to wipe her tears away and adjusted her mind, suppressing the turmoil and excitement in her heart forcefully and gazed at her. “She will. She will go back with you, but not now.”

Feng Jiu looked at her fixedly. Their eyes met. That layer of unpierced barrier seemed to have disappeared in front of them. They guessed each other’s identity but did not acknowledge their relationships.

After a long time, Feng Jiu restrained her gaze. “I know.” This matter should have been related to the Master Third Sun. What on earth did this man want to do?

Seeing that she held her eyes back with an unsmiling face, Shangguan Wanrong said hurriedly, “She will go back. When she has dealt with her affairs, she will go back, I promise.”

“Mm hmm. I believe you.” She looked up with a smile and nodded.

After a while, the roast pheasant was done. After adding a little seasoning, she handed one to her. “Have a taste.”

“Thank you.” Shangguan Wanrong took it, whispered her thanks, tore off a piece and began to eat.

While eating roast pheasant, they chatted. Maybe it was because they opened their mouths. Although they didn’t break through the barrier and acknowledge the relationship, their feelings and mood were a little different.

After eating the roast pheasant, they continued to move forward. This time, Shangguan Wanrong took the initiative to talk. “Among the three herbs my master asked me to collect, one of them is the Stone Iron Azalea. This kind of spirit herb grows in the crevices of the stone walls and can only be seen in the mountain walls’ precipices. When I go halfway up the mountain to have a look, you can stay and wait.”

“Stone Iron Azalea? This is a very rare spirit herb. There must be a guardian beast by the spirit herb’s side. Located halfway up the mountain, most of the guardian beasts are poisonous snakes.” Feng Jiu spoke with a frown. “Since you’re gathering the Stone Iron Azalea, I’ll go down and pick it! I can recognize this spirit herb.”

“That won’t do. It’s too dangerous. It’ll just head down, don’t worry! It’s not my first time picking herbs. It’s going to be alright.” She refused directly. When she reached the top, she took a thick rope from the space and tied it to her body.

“I came prepared. Everything was complete and I had taken the antidote beforehand.”

Feng Jiu had no choice but to come forward and take the rope in her hand and tie it firmly to her. “Then, be careful. I’ll wait for you above. One side of the rope will be tied to the big tree here.”

As she spoke, she tied the other end of the rope to a nearby tree. “Call me if you need anything or pull on the rope.”

Shangguan Wanrong had a gentle smile on her face. “I know. Don’t worry. Wait for me here, you also have to be careful with the surroundings, in case there are ferocious beasts.”

With that, she took some pills from the space and handed them to her. “You can keep these for self defence.”
