Chapter 1557 Under My Protection

“She is deaf and mute?” Guan Xilin was surprised and looked at the girl lying on the stone table with her eyes closed in amazement. If Little Jiu hadn’t told him, he really couldn’t tell, and looking at her now, the girl was actually quite pretty.“Well, she is Duan Manor’s eldest daughter Yingying. She also has an identical twin sister called Linlin. Although the two sisters look alike, they have different lives. She has been living here alone since she was a young child. This is her courtyard and I only happened to chance upon it.”

Upon hearing this, Guan Xilin nodded and glanced at the girl with sympathy in his heart. He didn’t say much and after he looked away, he signaled for Feng Jiu to sit down.

“Little Jiu, sit down with me and let’s have a good chat. How did you end up in Shun Yan City? I heard from the people outside that you came here to treat City Lord Duan? What’s wrong?”

“Elder brother, you really know me so well.” Her eyes crinkled up as she smiled at him and spoke: “We haven’t seen each other for a very long time so you don’t know how much has happened in the past two years. That year after I left the academy….”

The sworn siblings hadn’t seen each other in such a long time, and Feng Jiu gave a rough overview of what had happened during this period. Finally, after Guan Xilin had heard what Feng Jiu said, he nodded suddenly.

“I see, that’s why I’ve bumped into you here. You’re here for the Exquisite Seven Colour Flower. Even though you have been through a lot over the last two years, at least you have finally been reunited with your mother, and she’s still alive isn’t she?”

She sighed softly and said: “Yes! Nothing else matters! My mother is still alive and I believe all these matters will smooth over eventually.”

“By the way, didn’t you discover some clues about the whereabouts of your father? Did you find out anything later on?” She asked.

Guan Xilin shook his head: “No, it’s too hard, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.” He paused and looked at her: “Little Jiu, sometimes I can’t help but think, is it because my father doesn’t want to return? Otherwise why hasn’t he come back to take a look after so many years?”

“Elder brother, don’t give up. You must have faith in your heart. Didn’t you once say that you will find him whether he returns or not?”

“Yes, I did say that I will find him, I must find him!” He said firmly, then he laughed: “Alright…alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Little Jiu, so my adoptive mother has been found then? When are you going back? I will go with you.”

“The Exquisite Seven Colour Flower is here, but I still have to go to Sky Mountain to find another elixir herb. After I have gathered these elixir herbs and expelled the residual poison in my mother’s body, we can return. I think my father will no doubt be very happy to see us reunited.”

As she thought of this scenario, she couldn’t help but look forward to it and hoped that day would come soon.

“That’s for sure!” He nodded and agreed: “Since you are going to Sky Mountain, then I will go with you! After that, we will go home together!”

“Alright, but I have to go to Hell’s Palace to look for Ah Ze. He went back some time ago to deal with some things. I thought I can go to Hell’s Palace to look for him once everything here is settled and we can go to Sky Mountain together.”

“Sure, no problem. Then we will stay in this courtyard while we are here! I will be in charge of your safety from here on now!” He said, then stood up and patted his chest.
