Feng Jiu's eyebrows lifted slightly upon hearing this, and she gave him a thoughtful look. Without further comment, she gestured invitingly and said, "You must be tired from escorting them all this way. Please, come to my house and rest for a while."
The Ghost Faced Masked Man nodded. "That's agreeable. I also wish to discuss Yue'er's apprenticeship with you." He then stepped forward.
"Mother, he is Seventeen, the escort the Pan family gave us," Yue'er whispered, wrapping her arms around Feng Jiu's neck. "Mother, this masked man is very strange. He keeps telling me to call him Master, but he saved Yue'er from the bad guys, so he must be a good person. Also, Mother, there was an Uncle Murong who brought us back, but he left after dropping us off at the city gate."
