Chapter 4182 Encounter

“Today, the Old Predecessor returned to his own courtyard early. The Old Predecessor has been training in the mountains for nearly ten years. I heard that the Patriarch was holding a 100th birthday celebration for the Old Predecessor in the hope that he would come out of the back mountain cave and stay in the manor for a while. After all, many people outside are saying that our Wang Family is getting worse and worse because the Old Predecessor’s strength has declined and he doesn’t have many years left. Now that the Old Predecessor has returned to his own courtyard and he looks great, if people outside knew, they would definitely not say that anymore.”

A maid whispered, her words full of joy and excitement.

“Don’t you want to live? How dare you talk about the Old Predecessor in this manor? Shut up quickly, don’t let the Masters hear you. That’s a serious punishment.” Another older maid said nervously, looked around, and then patted her chest to relax after ensuring that no one else overheard their conversation.

The young maid pouted and said, “I didn’t mean anything, I’m just so happy! This is the first time I’ve seen the Old Predecessor since I came to the manor. He looks younger than my grandfather, and I can’t see how he’s over a hundred years old.”

“That’s right, the Old Predecessor’s cultivation is there, naturally not comparable to ordinary people.” The older maid said, pulling her along, “Let’s go, go to the front yard to see if there is anything that we can help with. We servants should not talk too much about the Masters’ affairs.”

As the two of them walked further and further away, Feng Jiu, who was leaning against a tree watching the scenery, stretched her back and took out a spirit fruit from the space to eat. She was almost lying half-way up the tree, with her feet on the branches and her hand resting behind her head.

Looking around, she could see every courtyard of the manor clearly, the busy figures of the servants, and the occasional sounds of whispering.

After finishing the fruit, she narrowed her eyes in contentment lay on the tree, enjoying the gentle morning breeze and feeling the freshness of the trees in the morning.

With her eyes half-closed, the energy of the Blue Lotus in her body was in motion, attracting the vitality of the morning air and the vitality of the plants and trees…

After bathing, the Old Predecessor of the Wang Family wanted to take a walk around the manor first. After all, he had been in seclusion in the back cave for ten years without leaving, and although he seemed familiar with everything in the manor, he was actually unfamiliar with it.

He walked around the manor, and when he passed by the trees next to the rockery in the garden, the Old Predecessor of the Wang Family stopped and suddenly looked up at the sky. When he saw the woman in red dozing off in the tree, a glint flashed across his eyes, and he asked, “May I ask, is this Young Miss Feng?”

She was dressed in red and was extremely beautiful. The woman on the tree was very easy to identify.

Hearing the voice, Feng Jiu opened her eyes and looked down. She saw an old man bowing slightly to her, so she jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the old man.

“I am. Are you the Old Predecessor of the Wang Family?”

Feng Jiu asked, but her tone was more affirmative. The old man in front of her was not outstandingly dressed, but the material was of the finest quality. Although his strength did not seem very strong to her, he was stronger than the others in the manor, so apart from the Old Predecessor of the Wang Family, there was no one else.

On hearing this, the old man smiled kindly: “It is indeed me.” He paused for a moment, then said with a smile: “I heard Yu’er mention Young Miss Feng, and I was planning to visit you later, but I never expected to run into her here.”

Feng Jiu smiled and said, “The air is nice in the morning, so I came out for a walk.”
