Chapter 298 Curiosity Killed the Ca (1/2)
Hearing those words, the Old Patriarch's eyes lit up, so excited was he that his voice trembled as he said: ”I've heard that only pills with five grain lines and above would draw down lightning from the Heavens! Your….. your pills possess five grain lines! ?”
”Mm. They are indeed five grain lined Transformation Pills.”
Feng Jiu replied with a smile as she looked at her excited grandfather. ”Grandfather, you should go up front to watch over things. I'll go back to wash up a little and change my clothes first before I'll come. Remind the servants to keep mum and even if the Ruler asks, tell them to not say anything.”
Although the Old Patriarch did not know what kind of effects the Transformation pills had, but his heart was filled with absolute delight.
”What you've said is correct. With the reputation of the Feng Residence, those people outside would not dare to barge their way in. Even the Ruler would not bring himself down to the level of forcibly barging his way into a subordinate's home. Go on ahead to wash up and change! Grandfather will go to the front and see what the situation is.”
He spoke hurriedly, and then readjusted his demeanor before he went walking out to the courtyard in the front of the house.
Seeing that, Feng Jiu similarly went walking to her courtyard, ordering people to prepare the bathwater.
At that moment, Murong Bo standing before the Feng Residence already had his rage risen to its peak. He had thought of kicking the Feng Residence's doors open or to go inside by leaping over the perimeter wall, but his position and pride would not allow him to commit such a low brow act. He could flick his sleeves and leave but could not swallow the indignation, hence, the atmosphere grew extremely tense.
And it was right at that moment that the tightly shut doors opened with a creak. Old Patriarch Feng was beaming with smiles while slightly apologetic as he came out in greeting while the grim faced Feng Xiao followed behind with his head slightly lowered, looking like he had just been admonished.
”Sigh! Blame it on this old man. This old man made Feng Xiao guard the door and told him to not let anyone come in, but I had not thought that the Ruler would also be alarmed, causing the Ruler to stand in wait outside the doors. How disrespectful we've been.” Old Patriarch Feng prattled on with his hand clasped over his fist as he repeatedly bowed in apology, coming forward to welcome the Ruler, till he stood right in front of him.
”Ruler, please come inside at once.” Old Patriarch Feng said as he stretched his hand out in invitation, his body tilted to the side to allow the Ruler to enter first.
