On the other side, Du Fan, who had just left the black market, followed Feng Jiu. He glanced around and whispered, "Master, the person who was following us should have left."
"Yeah." Fengjiu responded nonchalantly, thinking in her mind that now that she knew where the elixir was, she had to prepare to go collect it, but Ze...
I wonder how long he will be gone? If he doesn't come back in a short time, she would like to leave by herself.
"Du Fan, how far is Shunyan City from here?" she asked, turning her head slightly.
Hearing this, Du Fan pondered for a while, calculated in his mind, and then said: "It will take half a month to go back and forth. Even if I fly on a sword all the way, it will take at least a day to go back and forth at the fastest."
He paused for a moment, and then continued, "Shunyan City is relatively close from here. If you go to Tianshan, it will take one or two months to go back and forth. Tianshan is the territory of old man Tianji. It is said that it is covered with ice and snow all year round, and there are poisonous snakes and fierce beasts. Even if you are a flying fairy, you dare not enter Tianshan without permission."
"There is another saying that the old man Tianji is proficient in the art of deduction and can see the secrets of heaven. He has set up layers of barriers in the sky to prevent people from entering and disturbing his meditation. It is probably not easy to go to heaven."
Fengjiu listened quietly and walked at a leisurely pace. On her way back, she passed by a pastry shop and bought some pastries to take back.
After returning to the courtyard, she brought cakes into the inner courtyard room and said, "Mom, I'm back. Look, I brought you some freshly baked cakes."
Shangguan Wanrong sat up in a daze, and seeing Fengjiu approaching in men's clothing, she took her hand and asked her to sit down beside the bed: "You're back so soon? Have you finished what you went out to do?"
"I went to the black market and wanted to visit the owner, but he wasn't there, so I sat for a while and asked about the whereabouts of the two elixirs before returning. I also bought some pastries along the way."
She opened the box and took out the still steaming cake: "Try it."
Seeing this, Shangguan Wanrong smiled, reached out to take it and took a bite. The crispy taste was mixed with a fresh fragrance. Even she, who was still recuperating, found it delicious.
“Delicious, crispy and fragrant.”
"I bought it because I smelled the aroma on the street." She smiled and squinted her eyes. She picked up a piece and ate it, saying, "Mother, I asked the people in the black market to help send the letter back so that father wouldn't have to wait anxiously."
"You sent someone to send the letter back?" Shangguan Wanrong was startled and hesitated: "Will this make your father worry?"
She smiled and waved her hands: "No, no, I told him that you are fine, and you will go back after we have dealt with the things here. You don't know that Daddy is now the leader of our Phoenix Dynasty and is very stable. The surrounding countries and forces are all on good terms with us."
"That's good." She felt relieved and nodded with a smile.
Feng Jiu ate the cake, looked up at her and said, "But mother, I am sure that when you return to the Phoenix Dynasty to reunite with father, the Shangguan family will definitely come looking for you. When they knew I was a ghost doctor, they wanted to establish a relationship with me! But I ignored them."
