Hearing his words, the head of the Shangguan family frowned slightly and pursed his lips, seeming a little reluctant.
Yes, their Shangguan family was originally a well-known alchemy family in all the major countries, with a superior status and respected by everyone. However, since the emergence of this mysterious young man called Ghost Doctor, the limelight has directly overshadowed their Shangguan family, which is a century-old family. Even a pill or a bottle of medicine he casually took out can make all countries crazy and all the strong people fight for it.
The prices were raised to sky-high levels, and what was even more hateful was that he would only put some of them up for auction from time to time, and then there would be no news for several months or even longer. However, various forces were obsessed with his pills and potions and were asking around for them.
Since the appearance of this ghost doctor, the number of people who used to come to their Shangguan family to ask for medicine has decreased significantly. How could he swallow this breath? He still had to invite that ghost doctor to their Shangguan family as a distinguished guest? Oh, he was not very willing, nor was he very happy.
"Since the Third Elder has said so, then let this matter be left to you!" The head of the Shangguan family stood up, flicked his sleeves and walked out, obviously not wanting to deal with this matter.
Seeing this, the Third Elder shook his head and sighed, then looked at the guard who had retreated to the door and asked, "Where is the ghost doctor?"
"In reply to the Third Elder, when I came back to report, they were heading to the inn. They may be in the inn now. Some of us are following them."
"Well, lead the way!" He gestured and asked him to lead the way.
"Yes." The guard responded and went out of the mansion with him.
At the same time, Fengjiu and the others booked a room at the inn and walked out of the inn. Xi Shan lowered his voice and said, "Master, it seems that someone has been following us, and there are more than one group of people."
"Then let's dump him!" She said casually, walking with him on the street.
Sometimes he walked fast, sometimes he walked slowly, and sometimes he stopped to look at things on the street. The people behind him became anxious and worried that they might lose him, but they were also afraid that they would be discovered if they followed too closely. This lasted for about an incense stick of time.
"Hey? Where are the people? Why are they gone?" Two men walked out from the darkness and saw that the two people who were looking at things at a stall in front of them had disappeared at some point.
Not only them, but some other people also looked around for the person after seeing that they had lost him. How could they lose him with so many people watching? How could they explain this to their superiors later
On the other side, Fengjiu and Xishan sat in the corner of an inconspicuous stall. The stall was half covered with cloth. In addition, they were sitting in the corner and were blocked by people outside, so no one saw them.
Fengjiu ordered some snacks and a bowl of sweet soup and sat there eating leisurely.
"Master, those people have passed by." Xi Shan looked around for the people who were following them secretly and walked through the street outside.
"Well, don't pay attention to them." She drank the sweet soup, knowing that they were probably just people from the major families in the imperial city.
She did not disguise herself or hide her identity when she came here. Since people from this noble family had her portrait in their hands, they would naturally make some preparations, so it was not surprising that they knew she was here.
While Fengjiu was leisurely eating local snacks at this stall, the people who got the news and rushed to the inn came back empty-handed. No one saw Fengjiu. They called their subordinates to ask, only to find out that she had been lost.
