Chapter 940 - Fighting (2/2)

A day later, in a town in the Qing Dynasty.

While resting on the bed inside the inn, Feng Jiu heard faintly the sounds that seemed to be a quarrel downstairs. She pulled the quilt up and covered her head. However, after a while, the innkeeper went upstairs in a hurry and knocked at her door.

“Young Master, Young Master. Open the door quickly, Young Master. There’s something wrong.”

When she heard the tension in the innkeeper’s tone, Feng Jiu climbed out from the bed helplessly. After a quick wash, she put on her coat and opened the door. With some displeasure, she asked, “What kind of mishap happened so early in the morning?”

The innkeeper replied hastily, “Young Master, that young master who came with you is fighting with others outside.”

“Fighting?” Feng Jiu was startled for a moment, then replied indifferently. “Let them fight, what’s the big deal?” With his strength, Duan Ye might not necessarily lose to others.

When she was about to close the door, the innkeeper stopped her. “No! He’s fighting against the town bully. I’m afraid this young master will… ”

She frowned. “What is it? It’s okay as long as he’s only beaten up and not beaten to death. What’s the big deal?”

As soon as he heard this reply, the innkeeper was stunned to speechlessness. It’s okay as long as he’s not beaten to death? Was this about that young master or about the bully?

“Forget it. Get me some light breakfast. I’d better have another bowl of porridge.” She stepped out with Little Cloud Devouring Beast at her feet

“Young Master, you’re not going to have a look at your friend?” The innkeeper asked in a daze.

“Didn’t you hear what I said?” She paused and glanced back at the innkeeper.

That one glance made the innkeeper break out in cold sweat. He nodded repeatedly and left.
