Chapter 196 Preoccupied and Distracted (1/2)

”I didn't do much but to merely help him change his clothes and then went to sleep.”

Feng Jiu said, sounding a little helpless. [She was now a man alright? Being stared at with a gaze like that while being questioned, did they really think that she might have committed some unspeakable deeds with their Lord?]

”Sle….. slept?”

Old Lin exclaimed in flabbergasted shock, his voice raising up in pitch due to surprise. And at the moment his words came out, everyone within the courtyard turned their heads to look at them.

”What are you shouting out so loudly for? We slept separately.” Feng Jiu said in resignation with a roll of his eyes.

”Whew! You scared this old man for a moment.”

Old Lin patted himself on the chest as he blew out a deep breath to say: ”Oh right! In the next couple of days, concoct another few bottles of medicine for me!

He had already been standing there for close to two hours, struggling inside as he thought. [Should I inform the Lord that he is holding his book upside down?]

But seeing that his Lord would turn a page at certain intervals after moments have pa.s.sed, he then thought to himself whether that book was supposed to be read upside down?

”Shadow One.”

Hearing his Lord call him, Shadow One immediately snapped back to attention and took a step forward to reply loudly: ”Your subordinate awaits!”
