Gu Jiao thanked the old Mr. Meng and sat up in the carriage.
Wang Ma sustained some injuries while dragging King Hei Feng earlier, so Gu Jiao didn't make it pull the carriage and used the horses from the National Master Hall instead.
Wang Ma happily pranced ahead.
When the two carriages arrived at their temporary residence, the mansion, the sky had already darkened.
Mrs. Nan was wondering why Gu Jiao and old Mr. Meng had been away for so long when she heard the sound of hooves outside.
She hurriedly put down the half-picked mung bean sprouts she was holding and got up to open the door for Gu Jiao.
What she saw was King Hei Feng being carried down on a stretcher by several disciples from the National Master Hall.
She was taken aback and murmured, "Are we having horse meat tonight?"
King Hei Feng: "..."
Gu Jiao: "..."
The disciples from the National Master Hall left after carrying King Hei Feng into the front courtyard.
