Chapter 82 Troubled Hear (1/2)
”Yes.”
Without question, and without a moment's hesitation, Leng Shuang answered respectfully and immediately turned around to relay the orders to the Black Guards.
Upon receiving the orders, the Black Guards immediately carried it out. As Elder Yan had instructed them, that they were to unconditionally comply to that person's arrangements, and to not show the slightest disrespect to him.
Once the order to seal the mountain was issued, several travelers who were presently within the mountain come to admire the blossoms would naturally have to be driven away. Afterall, the Peach Blossom Monastery was on land that was privately owned and it was up to the owner whether he chose to allow people to come view the blossoms at the peach blossom forest, and if he refused, they would just have to leave.
As it was still rather early in the day, there hadn't been too many people in the peach blossom forest and it had only taken less than an hour to drive all the travelers out from the Peach Blossom Monastery's boundaries.
At that moment, Feng Jiu came to a pavilion yard within the Peach Blossom Monastery and she saw an elderly person dressed in grey robes sweeping the ground in the yard. She stopped in her tracks and asked: ”All the servants here have left, why are you still here?”
The grey robed old man turned around holding the broom and looked at the red figure standing with his hands behind his back under the peach blossom tree in the yard to say: ”I've swept these grounds for more than ten years and cannot bear to leave this place anymore.”
Hearing that, Feng Jiu revealed a smile, her gaze falling upon the figure of the grey robed old man and a indiscernible glint flashed in her eyes before she said: ”If you can't bear to leave, then continue to remain here then!”
The old man was surprised momentarily, he cast her a thoughtful glance before he continued to sweep the ground, no longer speaking.
Feng Jiu did not care about that and she turned away. After she left, the old man stopped and looked in the direction she left, and slowly retracted his gaze and continued to sweep the floor.
The grey robed old man was surprised as he glanced at the red figure and then went back to sweeping the floor, not saying another word.
Feng Jiu was unbothered as she turned and left. After she left, the old man paused and gazed in the direction the figure had disappeared before turning back to continue with his sweeping once again.
When Murong Yi Xuan who was accompanying Feng Qing Ge arrived at the Peach Blossom Monastery, they discovered that the Peach Blossom Monastery's new owner had ordered for the entire mountain to be sealed for three days.
