Chapter 1930: Encounter (4)
Mr. Fuyi put away the umbrella and lifted his legs to walk in. It was at this moment that Gu Xijiu realized that there was a mechanism! It seemed like the person who designed this mechanism was indeed a master.
Gu Xijiu followed him in, and the door behind him slowly disappeared. It was a different world behind the secret door. It was actually exquisite, like the room of a young lady. There were famous calligraphy and paintings on the walls, and the furniture in the house were all valuable antiques.
It was more appropriate to refer to this place as a palace than a house. That was because the space was incredibly vast and wide. The ground was covered with white carpet, and the other end of the carpet was a high platform like a golden temple. There was a chair with fox-skin on it, and a teenager was sitting on the chair.
Gu Xijiu was not sure about the gender of the teenager because the person was dressed like a man, but had the face of a lady. Big eyes, small mouth, fair skin, and two dimples. The person’s eyebrows were quite thick, which made the teenager slightly masculine. Without the need to ask, Gu Xijiu knew that this was the one behind the scenes.
In this hall, eight people were standing neatly on both sides. The teenager saw that Mr. Fuyi walked in and immediately laughed loudly. Mr. Fuyi was then invited to sit by the person’s side. Mr. Fuyi did not reject and only sat down beside the teenager. He looked very relaxed and casual. Apparently, he was a special guest here.
"Mr. Fuyi, how is the progress? Did you manage to come up with the prescription already?" The person behind the scene asked. The voice of this person was also very neutral, which made Gu Xijiu unable to distinguish the gender.
Mr. Fuyi flicked his fingers on his robe as if he was flicking dirt off his robe. "There are still a few more steps. Young palace master, being impatient would not help the matter."
The young palace master frowned. "I worry that the longer the delays, the lower the power of the kids. I was planning to use them to refine medicine two days ago... The longer it delays, the more variables we will have."
