Chapter 145: Closing the Door on Him (2/2)

Back then at Lian Village, all people saw that two Grand Assassins were hunting Yun Wu. Shortly afterwards, Cloud Murong mentioned that the two Grand Assassins went to Murong Mansion to look for ”Phoenix Wu”.

Though she had no idea who those people trying to find her were, she did know that Yun Wu was in danger and should keep her true identity a secret for as long as possible.

Grandma Medicine walked up to her, barely able to dissemble the excitement in her eyes. ”Good girl, since you've come back, go to Murong Mansion and spend a few days with us. Yun'er will give you a warm reception.”

Of course Yun Wu understood the undertone contained in her words.

But she had no intention of seeking shelter in Cloud Murong's place.

Besides, even if she did need shelter, given that her enemy was the incumbent Queen, people in this Murong Mansion were not powerful enough to protect her even if they wanted to.

In addition, since Grandma Medicine had returned to the Murong family, she didn't want to get Murong Mansion involved in this matter, lest Grandma Medicine be incriminated.

”That won't be necessary. There's something I have to deal with. When this is over, I'll leave. By the way, about that pestilence, did anybody go to Murong Mansion to look for anybody?”

Cloud Murong shook his head and said, ”No. Why do you ask? Is there anybody you want to find?”

After the pestilence spread, the Ouyang family in Water City sent a big sedan chair carried by eight men to the village and respectfully carried Grandma Medicine to their mansion. Third Uncle and other members of Murong family who were swollen all over had no choice but to pocket their pride and send someone to Ouyang Mansion in Water City to pick up Grandma Medicine.

However, they sent people there three times but all their requests were rejected. Members of Ouyang family even shut the door on them.

The distension of the Venerable Master of Ouyang family was reduced after a week's time, and he also regained his consciousness. Before long, he was able to get out of bed and walk.

The news spread through the whole Water City and caused a sensation.
