Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 816: Deal with it Calmly
Early the next morning.

While Gu Chan was still sleeping soundly in the house, Xuan Xiao had already gotten up early and went for a walk in the city according to her instructions.

Not long after he left, two waiters from Zhaofeng Tower carried the seriously injured Ma Biao back from outside.

In a study room upstairs, Feng Tianyang was looking at the account book behind the desk.

Two servants carried Ma Biao in and put him on the ground in front of him.

Feng Tianyang looked up and glanced at him, then waved his hand and told the two men to leave.

Ma Biao lay on the stretcher and said weakly, "Master, I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"I always tell you that before you make a move on others, you should first find out their background. Now you've hit a wall!" Feng Tianyang said coldly.

Ma Biao sighed bitterly, not knowing what to say.

He originally thought that Gu Chan was just a little girl who could be manipulated at will by him, but now he completely understood that this little girl was far from being as simple as she appeared.

Feng Tianyang added, "I have sent people to investigate. This little girl named Pan'er crossed the Luoshui River from the border of Tiancang Country and crossed the Gobi Desert. She claimed that she was a refugee from Yexing Country, but in fact, she should be a native of Tiancang Country."

"Master, how can you be sure that she is from Tiancang?" Ma Biao asked doubtfully.

"Looking at her clothes, her behavior, and her accent, they are not much different from those of the Tiancang people. I have been to the Yexing Kingdom more than once, and I know very well what the people there are like. No matter how well she hides it, she can't fool me." Feng Tianyang said in a deep voice.

Ma Biao said hurriedly, "Master, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and report her to the government! Who knows, maybe she is a spy sent by Tiancang Kingdom?"

"You are confused. If she is really a spy sent by Tiancang Kingdom and came in from our northern border, once the imperial court investigates it, won't our entire border Xuanyue City be implicated?" Feng Tianyang said coldly.

Ma Biao nodded without comment.

Feng Tianyang shook his head and said, "You have followed me for so many years, but you are still too young. Now that your legs are broken, you don't have to stay here any longer. I will ask the accountant to give you 5,000 taels of silver in a while. You can take the silver and go back to the countryside to live!"

"Master, I..."

"Stop talking. Just pretend that this incident never happened. From now on, don't mess with that girl again. Otherwise, if trouble happens again, I will kill you if she doesn't. Do you understand?" Feng Tianyang interrupted.

Ma Biao was so scared that his face turned pale and he quickly nodded in agreement.

Having followed Feng Tianyang for so many years, he naturally understood that although Feng Tianyang looked gentle and refined on the surface, he was actually extremely cruel and brutal in his heart, and his methods were extremely vicious and cruel.

It is better to quit now, otherwise if I get into big trouble, I am afraid my life will be in danger.

Feng Tianyang didn't want to say any more, so he immediately called the two servants who were waiting outside the door, carried Ma Biao out, prepared a carriage for him, gave him five thousand taels of silver, and sent someone to send him back to his hometown in the countryside to recuperate.

After doing all this, Feng Tianyang called a maid and told her, "Go and serve breakfast to Miss Pan'er, and help her wash up."

"Yes, OP." The maid responded respectfully and left.

Feng Tianyang sat there, watching the maid leave, a sinister smile appeared on his face. Half an hour later.

Just as Gu Chan was eating breakfast in the room, Feng Tianyang walked in slowly.

Seeing this, Gu Chan immediately stopped what she was doing and said, "Morning, Master Feng! Have you had breakfast? If not, sit down and have something to eat together!"

"Miss Pan'er, you don't have to be polite. I have already eaten. You can eat it." Feng Tianyang said with a smile.

As he said this, he walked over and sat down opposite Gu Chan, staring at her straight.

Gu Chan took a few bites, but couldn't eat anymore because of his stare, so she put down her bowl and chopsticks and said, "Master Feng, just say what you want to say. There's no need to stare at me like that!"

"Miss Pan'er, I'm very curious. A capable girl like you shouldn't be unable to survive in the Yexing Kingdom! Why do you want to escape to our Diyue Kingdom?" Feng Tianyang said tentatively.

"My family has been harmed by a villain, so I have no choice but to go to the capital of Diyue Kingdom to seek refuge with my distant relative, right?" Gu Chan said calmly.

She was not stupid and could tell at a glance that Feng Tianyang was deliberately testing her. In this situation, she didn't need to panic and could just deal with it calmly.

Feng Tianyang asked, "Then I wonder what the name of your distant relative in Kyoto is? I have some friends in Kyoto, maybe I can help you find out."

"His last name is Qiu, and his given name is Li." Gu Chan made up a name.

"Qiu...Li...this...I've never heard of any big businessman in Kyoto with this name." Feng Tianyang frowned and said in confusion.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "My distant relative's business is small, not a big one, so it's normal that Master Feng doesn't know about it. Besides, there are so many people doing business in Kyoto, you can't know everyone, right?"

"Um...that's true." Feng Tianyang said awkwardly.

Gu Chan raised her eyebrows and said cunningly, "Master Feng, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?" Feng Tianyang became interested.

"Where can you find the magical herb Red Spider Lily in your Diyue country?" Gu Chan asked.

Feng Tianyang's eyes widened immediately, and he said in surprise, "Miss Pan'er, why are you asking about this spiritual herb?"

"I have a friend who is dying, and he needs this magical herb as a medicine to bring him back to life, so I plan to take this opportunity to bring one back to treat him." Gu Chan said.

"Miss Pan'er, I advise you not to try to get the red spider lily! This thing is a forbidden herb in our Diyue country, and it only grows on the Hi'an Mountain east of Kyoto. This mountain is a forbidden area for the Kyoto royal family. It is enclosed by the royal family all year round, and no one is allowed to enter." Feng Tianyang explained.

Gu Chan frowned, feeling confused.

She didn't understand why a mere medicinal herb would be listed as a forbidden herb by the royal family of the Diyue Kingdom. Most importantly, what was so magical about the Bi'an Mountain where the medicinal herb grew, and why was it confined by the royal family all year round and no one was allowed to enter?
Seeing Gu Chan was silent, Feng Tianyang tapped the table and said, "Miss Pan'er, it seems that this is your real purpose for coming to Diyue Country! As for seeking refuge with distant relatives, I'm afraid it's just an excuse you made up."

"That's not the case. It's true that I went to seek refuge with my distant relatives, and it's also true that I went to look for the magical herb Red Spider Lily. Anyway, no matter what happens now, I have to go to Kyoto first to take a look." Gu Chan came back to his senses and said.

Feng Tianyang suddenly grinned and came up with an idea.
