Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

1294 Stop!

When he heard them speak, the country ruler narrowed his eyes. Even though he stared at Feng Jiu, he spoke to Xuanyuan Mo Ze, “Withdraw.”

This time, Xuanyuan Mo Ze did not move. He kept standing there while staring at him. “If there’s a problem, direct it to me. It doesn’t concern her.”

“Didn’t you hear this Emperor tell you to leave? Withdraw!” With a glare, he fixed his penetrating gaze on Xuanyuan Mo Ze.

Feng Jiu tugged at his sleeve. “Go outside and wait for me. Don’t worry, it’s all right.”

Xuanyuan Mo Ze frowned slightly. He shifted his gaze from Feng Jiu who was beside him to his father on the throne and spoke calmly. “If even a strand of hair on her head is missing, I’ll look for you!” He turned around and left.

The country ruler’s eyes turned gloomy. With a knife-like gaze, his eyes swept at the retreating Xuanyuan Mo Ze and then at the woman in red standing in the palace hall. “What’s your name? Take off your veil.”

Obeying the order, she removed the veil to reveal her original appearance and looked back at the person sitting at the throne. “My name is Feng Jiu.”

“You look pretty good. No wonder he is so fascinated that he didn’t hesitate to beat the Scarlet Water Crown Prince severely.” The country ruler spoke while examining her.

Feng Jiu smiled. “How can he be a shallow man? He has never taken a fancy to my face, but to my personality.” She remembered the time when she was a little beggar and hung about him.

Outside, Xuanyuan Mo Ze stood with his hands clasped behind his back down, looking at the floating clouds in the sky. His eyes were distant and deep. It was unknown what he was thinking about.

Although he came out, he was not at ease and kept an eye on the palace hall, only to find that there was a soundproof boundary inside. When he looked back, he had no idea what the two were talking about and he did not hear a sound. Since he did not see any movement, he did not go in again. He stood outside, waiting for an hour or so.

A guard came out in front of Xuanyuan Mo Ze and reported respectfully. “Your Highness, the country ruler asked you to go first. That young lady must stay in the palace.”

Hearing the words, his face sank and his voice turned chilly. “What?”

The guard trembled inwardly. He bowed his head. “The country ruler asked the young lady to stay in the palace for the first few days. He asked you to go back first.”

Xuanyuan Mo Ze stepped inside, but the man in grey darted out to stop him. “Your Highness, please return.”

“Go away!” He shouted coldly. With a swing of his sleeve, a strong force came out straight to the two men.

Feng Jiu, whose conversation with the country ruler was unknown to anyone, looked back and saw that there was a fight outside. He told the country ruler, “Even if you want me to stay, I should go out and talk to him personally or else he will make trouble later. It will only hurt those people.”

“Hmph! That’s if he has the ability! How dare he attack inside the palace!” The country ruler snorted coldly. With a harsh tone, he bellowed at Feng Jiu, “What are you standing there for? Go quickly!”

Feng Jiu sighed inwardly. She turned around and stepped outside.

“Stop!”

She yelled and made both sides stop their fight. Only then did she come forward to Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s side.
