The old man took a glance at Feng Jiu, then looked at Sage Hun Yuan with a probing glance, and then his gaze moved again to Zhuo Junyue. "Come with me!" As he spoke, he looked at Luo's Fourth Young Miss who stood by. "Fourth Young Miss, you too."

Feng Jiu sat at the stone table in the yard with the child in her arms while the old man walked a few steps in the courtyard. After a little while, he went outside the room where they first came in and looked inside from the window.

The two Luo Young Masters who still stayed at the courtyard gave Feng Jiu a once over and then looked at the child in her arms. One of them asked, "Miss, how should we address you?"

They did not discern that the handsome man before them was a woman had it not been for her remarks earlier. Even though she didn't say it explicitly, it should have meant that she was a woman, right?

Feng Jiu held the child in one hand while propping her chin with the other hand and her elbow on the table. She looked at the man in front of him with her lips curved up. "Who told you that I am a girl?"

As soon as she uttered these words, people around her were stunned, especially the two Luo Young Masters who looked at her with astonishment. "You, didn't you say just now that…"

"Just now? Did I say I'm a girl?" Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows. Her handsome looks carried a devilish and unrestrained aura. It was really hard to tell the difference whether she was a male or a female.

The Eldest Luo Young Master's eyes flashed as he looked at Feng Jiu. "So, you are not his woman? What about this child?"

Feng Jiu smiled but said nothing because she caught a glimpse of the door open from the corner of her eyes. Zhuo Junyue was the first to walk out, but his face looked visibly paler than when he entered earlier.

"Is it resolved?" Feng Jiu asked him.

Zhuo Junyue nodded and tore open his clothes to reveal his chest. "Yes."

"Very good. Now, it's time to settle accounts and collect interest." She stood up with the child in her arms and sighed, "Coming all the way here was arduous. It's really not our style to return empty-handed."

Sage Hun Yuan nodded while stroking his beard. "Hmm. Indeed. We can't return empty-handed. But, are there good things here?"

"The Luo clan is skilled at growing spirit herbs. There is a vast medicine field in the back mountain." Zhuo Junyue interjected.

The three Luo siblings were dumbfounded as they listened to this discussion. Even bandits were not so brazen in their negotiation. Wasn't this conduct showing contempt to their Luo family?

Watching the three of them walk past them like this, Eldest Luo Young Master gave a signal and the guards outside stopped them. He went forward and said to the three of them, "Three guests, why don't you just leave!"

Feng Jiu looked at Zhuo Junyue. "You haven't gotten those herbs, have you? It would be better if Young Master Luo used those herbs as a gift."

"No way!"

The Luo's Fourth Young Miss who stood at the back snarled. "No way! Don't even think of taking away our spirit herbs!" She looked at Feng Jiu with hatred. Her eyes were filled with unwillingness.

She should have thought of it much earlier. How could such an outstanding man like Zhuo Junyue was still unmarried? Unluckily, not only was he married, but he also had a child. How detestable!

"Now, Luo Fourth Miss, should you not think how to explain to your guests why your wedding is called off? How can you still linger here?"

Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes half narrowed, with a touch of ridicule on her face. "Are you still reluctant to give up Zhuo Junyue?"
