Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 2767
Chapter 2767: Tantrum
“Nonetheless,” Feng Jiu stated resignedly, “I won’t feel at ease not knowing who is behind all of this.”
“Are you planning to stay here quietly?”
“Enough about me. Now, what’s going on with your junior sister? How long will she be staying here?” Feng Jiu lifted her brows and asked, her gaze fixed on him.
“She did not tell me, so I did not ask.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze stated.
She took a step back, folded her arms across her chest, and replied, “Where is your junior sister from? Where are her relatives? Is she engaged? What exactly is she doing here? Don’t you think you should give me an explanation?”
“Her family lives in the land beyond the seas. When I went there with my master, I went to her family. I’m not aware of the engagement. She simply stated that she wanted to come here to gain experience. She is staying with me because I was requested to look after her.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze smiled as he looked at her jealous expression. “Don’t worry!She has a sense of propriety.”
“Are you sure?”
Feng Jiu gave him an inexplicable look. She had intended not to tell Yun Xuexin about her return, but wouldn’t she look worse than the guest if she had been hiding after returning home?
She wanted to check if Yun Xuexin has indeed a sense of propriety as Mo Ze claimed.
Seeing her look and hearing her remarks, Xuanyuan Mo Ze couldn’t help but tell her, “She is my junior sister as well as my guest, so don’t give her a hard time.”
Feng Jiu glared at him and remarked in a sour tone,”Are you worried about her? I have no idea that you are a flower protector.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze smiled helplessly. “Don’t let your imagination run wild. I just promised to take care of her.” He knew, of course, that if she went after someone, that person would not have good days. But Yun Xuexin wasn’t just anyone, so he couldn’t let Feng Jiu act recklessly.
Feng Jiu smiled and rose to her feet. Just as she was going to say something, she heard Shadow One’s voice from outside in the courtyard.
“Master.”
In the room, Xuanyuan Mo Ze looked out the window and said, “Come in.”
Shadow One pulled open the door and entered, still holding something. He hesitated for a moment after seeing Feng Jiu looking at him, and then finally stepped forward and put the item down. “Miss Yun sent these pastries.”
Looking at the small plate of pastries on the table, Xuanyuan Mo Ze said to Feng Jiu, “These are from the pastry shop that sold your favourite pastries. Taste it.” He stretched out his hand and pushed it in front of Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu flicked her dress. “I just ate noodles, so I’m not in the mood for snacks. Why don’t you just eat it? Since I still need to do something, I’ll go first.”
Xuanyuan Mo Ze held her hand as she turned around to leave.
“It’s so late, you just came back, where are you going?” He scowled as he glanced at her. “Is there anything you can’t handle tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow is too eye-catching; things are easy to deal with when the wind is high and the night is dark.” She said, turning around and breaking free from his grip. “Take a rest! Don’t bother waiting for me.” She then walked away.
He watched her walk out the door and out of sight, and Xuanyuan’s brow never loosened.
His face dropped slightly and he appeared upset, so the air in the room got somewhat oppressive. Shadow One standing by the entrance dared not take a breath. He was going to leave when he heard his master’s chilly voice.
“Take these things away!”
