Chapter 1556 Scared Unconscious
After he had followed the mercenary team from the Black Market to the north to practise and study formation methods for so long, he didn’t think that he would be stumped by the formation.So he thought he would try walking inside. Also, he thought that it would be one of Feng Jiu’s formations, not one set up by the Duan family. After he had entered the formation, even though he walked around a few times, eventually, he finally walked in.
As soon as he walked in, he saw a small garden and a petite woman in a plain dress watering the garden. He thought that this was the maid taking care of Feng Jiu and so he called out.
“Hey, the girl over there, come here.”
However, even though he had called out gruffly, the woman over there hadn’t reacted at all and continued to water the garden. Therefore, he walked over and shouted again: “Girl, I’m talking to you!”
There was still no response from her. Therefore, he walked across the garden and patted her shoulder: “Hey!”
Duan Yingying who was watering the elixir herb plants was slapped on her shoulder out of the blue. At first, she thought it was Feng Jiu, but when she looked back, her shoulders shrank with fright. The watering can in her hand fell to the ground as she stared at the tall burly man with the big beard in front of her. Her face turned pale and her body fell to the ground.
“What the hell? Do I look that scary?” Guan Xilin frowned and reached out to catch the woman who had passed out from being frightened by him.
He carried her over to the pavilion and was about to look for someone to take the girl away when he heard footsteps approaching. When he turned back to look, the figure in red jumped in front of him.
“Little Jiu!” He shouted in surprise and waved at the approaching person.
When she heard that voice, Feng Jiu was taken aback for a moment. When her eyes fell on the person in the pavilion, surprise appeared in her eyes and she couldn’t help but smile: “Elder brother? What are you doing here?” She ran forward quickly. When she came into the pavilion and saw Duan Yingying unconscious, she pointed at her and asked: “What’s wrong with her?”
“Little Jiu, I really didn’t expect you to be here. I was eating at a restaurant in the city when I overheard some patrons discussing about you. When I heard their description of you, I knew that it was you.” He patted her shoulder with his big hand: “Other than getting stronger, nothing else has changed much! Oh yes, this little girl was scared by me and fainted.”
“Scared by you?” Feng Jiu was stunned. However, when her eyes landed on his big beard and his stubborn face, she couldn’t help but laughed: “Elder brother, look at you. You should trim your beard. Fortunately it’s daytime as it will be even scarier at night.”
“I’ve been away from home all this time and haven’t had time to trim my beard. Besides, I’m used to it now, and all the men who were with me were old men and they all looked like this.”
He stroked his beard and said: “I’m not that scary looking, I can’t believe I scared a little girl and she fainted.”
“She’s not a little girl. She is City Lord Duan’s eldest daughter called Duan Yingying.” Feng Jiu said with a smile.
“Oh? She is the City Lord’s daughter? I thought she was a maid taking care of you. When I came in earlier I asked here where you were but she didn’t respond. Her temper is not good and she’s timid.”
When she heard this, Feng Jiu smiled gently and said: “You’ve wronged her. She can’t speak and she can’t hear. She wasn’t ignoring you at all. She’s actually very easy-going and is a very simple and nice girl.”
