2973 Recommend Himself For The Job
The moment the man felt the pain, he released his hold on the woman, and threw her to the ground. The crying woman stood up and ran into the crowd. The others were trying to catch up, but their knees were also bent in pain. Because of the delay, the woman was able to blend into the crowd and disappear.
“Damn it! Who did this covert attack?”
The men rose to their feet and yelled angrily. When they looked around and saw that the people around them had retreated, their gazes were drawn to Gray Wolf.
The leader couldn’t help but glance at the luxurious spirit beast carriage when he saw the two incredibly beautiful deer pulling it. But he didn’t dare to approach and ask directly. Instead, he roared at the other men. “Chase! Get her back here!
After seeing the men leave, Gray Wolf scratched his head. Wasn’t this done by Ghost Doctor? He just couldn’t figure out why Ghost Doctor had saved that woman.
Leng Shuang came back from shopping soon after and said, “Master, I have purchased everything. I heard that this city’s pastry shop has different types of pastries and they also taste good, so I bought some for Master to taste.”
Feng Jiu happily replied, “Bring them in!”
“Yes.” Leng Shuang replied, opened the carriage door, pulled back the curtain, and got in. She took the cake out of the cosmos sack and put it on the small table inside.
“Gray Wolf, go home!” Feng Jiu gave the order.
“Alright.” Gray Wolf replied and steered the two Violet Gold Spirit Deer back.
At this point, an elderly man walked over while beaming a smile, went to the carriage’s left side, where the curtain was, and asked, “Madam, do you need a steward for your manor? I’d like to recommend myself for the job.”
Feng Jiu, who was eating pastries in the car, raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She passed the child to Leng Shuang before she opened the curtain and looked outside. She noticed an elderly man in an inconspicuous grey robe following the carriage, walking easily and not slower than the beast carriage, with a smile on his face. He looked at her when she opened the curtain.
“I don’t need a steward.” After giving this answer, Feng Jiu drew back the curtain.
“Come on! If you don’t need a steward, I can help sweep the floor or serve tea and water. Just provide me with food and shelter, and give me a catty of spirit wine every day.”
“I can invite several people to sweep the floor and serve tea and pour water for a catty of spirit wine. ” Feng Jiu said leisurely, ate a piece of pastry and then looked at the man outside the curtain, who was still only half a point behind.
It should be noted that the carriage’s speed was not slow, but this man followed her with a leisurely appearance, indicating that he possessed real skills. But from a glance, she couldn’t tell the elderly man’s cultivation level.
Did he hide his strength? Who exactly was he? Why did he recommend himself as the steward to her?
“Madam, I’m all alone. I’ve been hungry for several days. Please do me the favour of taking me in!”
“You’re too old. I’m afraid you won’t be able to sweep the floor clean or spill the tea in the teacup. What’s the point if you are useless?” Feng Jiu spoke casually, leaning against the soft couch and chatting with the elderly man outside the carriage.
“As the saying goes, old ginger is spicy, and so are people. The older, the wiser. There’s nothing wrong with taking me in, Madam. More importantly, my family background is spotless. Madam does not need to be concerned about my ulterior motives. All I want is to find a place to eat and live.”
