Hearing that voice again, Fengjiu looked back and frowned, feeling that this person was really annoying. She really didn't know how her parents taught her to have such a stupid and arrogant daughter.
At the same time, on the other side, the people who were waiting for Fengjiu's return in the inn waited for a long time but no one came back. Gradually, some of them lost their patience.
At this time, in the Shangguan family, the person who was sent out to investigate several months ago had returned, and brought back a piece of news that shocked everyone in the Shangguan family.
When he got the news, the head of the Shangguan family was shocked, and seeing that the matter was serious, he dared not hide it, so he hurried to the place where his father, the ancestor of the Shangguan family, made elixirs and medicines.
The Shangguan family is a family of alchemists, and the place where the ancestor makes medicines is a forbidden area. Entering without permission will have serious consequences. Outside, there are two peak Jindan cultivators guarding the alchemy courtyard, and there are two Yuanying powerhouses in the courtyard.
One reason is to prevent anyone from disturbing the ancestor when he is refining pills. The other reason is that although this is not the Pill Storage Pavilion, there are many pills refined by the ancestor, which are extremely precious, so naturally we have to strengthen our vigilance.
"Master." The two Jindan peak cultivators bowed respectfully when they saw the visitor.
"Go in and report it. I have something very important to tell my father." The head of the Shangguan family gestured but did not go directly in, because people who practice alchemy have a bad habit of not liking to be disturbed when they are making medicine.
"Yes." The Jindan cultivator responded, went in to report, and came out after a while: "Master, the old man invites you in."
Hearing this, he strode in and saw his father fiddling with the elixir inside, so he stepped forward and called out, "Father."
"What do you want from me? Haven't all the affairs in the mansion been handed over to you? What? Is there anything you haven't handled yet?" The old man said without turning his head, while fiddling with the elixirs in front of him and classifying them.
"Father, this is a serious matter, so I had no choice but to come to you." He took a step forward and said, "When we got the ghost doctor's portrait, didn't father ask someone to investigate his background? This investigation took several months, and the spy just came back with the news."
"Did you find out?"
The old man turned around, revealing a dignified face. Even though he was very old, there were no wrinkles on his face. Instead, his face was strangely smooth and rosy. If it weren't for his gray hair and hoarse voice, perhaps no one would have thought that he was the ancestor of a family.
"Yes, I found it." The head of the Shangguan family nodded in response, looked at his father in front of him, paused for a moment, and then said: "This ghost doctor is called Fengjiu, and he is not a boy, but a woman."
"Oh? A woman dressed as a man? It is indeed unusual for a woman to have such a talent for alchemy." The old man nodded, walked to the tree on the other side, sat down at the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it.
"Moreover, father, this Fengjiu has a close relationship with our Shangguan family." He said this and looked at his father's expression.
The old man raised his eyes and glanced at him, saying, "Who are you trying to keep in suspense? If you have something to say, just say it instead of hesitating."
"No, I just want to let my father take it easy so he won't be startled later." He smiled and said, "According to our investigation, this Feng Jiu is Feng Xiao's daughter."
