1926 Treatment 3
“Master Duan Feng, you can arrange a suitable time for me to check up your master.” Gu Chaoyan answered straightforwardly.
She would have raised the issue of payment if it had been someone else, but not them.
She was a woman who knew what was best for her.
Haitian’s Auction House had been treating her well, and they were also treating her nicely when it came to cooperation.
Also, he was already indebted to Heart-protecting Pill, and his voice was not as good as that of Heart-protecting Pill.
He was just asking her to check up the scar, so she could just say yes.
Duan Feng smiled.
Since Gu Chaoyan accepted the proposal, he was not going to force her to offer anything more. They were going to work together for a long time, and they were going to have a lot of time to offer this favor.
Then Duan Feng left.
Duan Feng went upstairs.
He was about to tell his master what he had discussed with Gu Chaoyan.
After drinking the medicine provided by Gu Chaoyan, the masked man knew they had returned home. He continued attending to the affairs of Haitian, a bustling market with numerous tasks to handle at the auction house alone. Additionally, he was busy with various matters in the market, especially as more people gathered within a 500-meter radius.
He and Duan Feng had a mutual understanding of how to work well together. Even without words, he was still aware of what was happening.
And today…
Duan Feng didn’t leave; he remained standing there.
Then he spoke, “Lady Chaoyan’s pills are superior to those of Piaomiao Pavilion. She can cure your throat, and she is also a skilled doctor. I believe that since Lady Chaoyan has successfully treated your throat, you can ask her for help with the wound on your face as well.”
“….”
“She agreed.”
“….”
“Mistress, I apologize, but please…” It was the first time Duan Feng acted this way, and he didn’t know what to say or do.
The masked man furrowed his brow.
A complex feeling stirred within him.
Aside from his close subordinates, no one else had seen the wound on his face, and he had no desire for anyone else to witness it.
“Just go, and don’t do this again, or you know the consequences, Duan Feng,” the masked man said sternly.
Duan Feng nodded. “Understood.”
He knew the consequences, but he was prepared to accept the punishment.
He believed that this could be the sole opportunity for his master to emerge from the darkness, and he intended to treasure it.
His master didn’t refuse her, which was as he had expected. Perhaps his master didn’t reject Lady Chaoyan because of Lady Chaoyan’s resemblance to someone…
As Duan Feng pondered on this, he decided not to dwell on the past any longer.
He resumed his duties at the auction.
On their way back home, Gu Chaoyan and Zhou Huaijin purchased additional Spirit Stones. She needed them for future pill-making, ensuring she was always prepared.
Upon returning to their lodging, they encountered Sword One, Lingyun, and Fu Bao. Gu Chaoyan was puzzled when she noticed Zhao Wuhuai and his group.
