Chapter 87: The Taming of the Ghost Doctor (1)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Level seven in the Qi Cultivation ranks."
Huu.
Within the courtyard, Gu Ruoyun exhaled, ridding her body of impure air as she slowly opened her eyes. Suddenly, Elder Yu’s frantic voice rang from the front of the Hundred Herb Hall, "My Lady, someone is looking for you! He's just outside the door."
"Looking for me?" Gu Ruoyun raised her eyebrows, "Who?"
"He's told me that his surname is Liu, and that he sold his ancestral home to you, my Lady."
Upon hearing this, Gu Ruoyun stood up immediately. Her delicate face held a trace of a smile, "It looks like the Ghost Doctor is here. Let's go, Elder Yu. Bring me to him."
Gu Ruoyun was honestly very interested in the Ghost Doctor’s medical skills. If she could entice him into joining her Devil Sect, then they would not need to worry about finding ways to earn money anymore.
If the Ghost Doctor should ever find out about what Gu Ruoyun was thinking, he would most likely rush right over to destroy her. The girl wanted to use the Ghost Doctor, whose very name struck terror into the hearts of the people, as a money-making tool?
What an insult!
Mister Liu was already anxiously waiting outside the door. Upon seeing Gu Ruoyun on her way over, his eyes lit up. He greeted her respectfully, "Lady Gu, the Ghost Doctor is already here. However, I can’t say if she’s willing to let you watch her work, my Lady."
"Don’t worry, even if she does not allow me to go near, I won’t blame you. Let’s go now."
Gu Ruoyun said with a smile.
However, after overhearing their exchange, Elder Yu hurriedly spoke up, "You’re going to meet the Ghost Doctor? I’ll go with you. I’ve heard that the Ghost Doctor is rather unreasonable and has an eccentric personality. The Ghost Doctor is skilled at medicine but is also doubly skilled with poisons. It’s not too safe for you to go alone."
Gu Ruoyun waved her hands dismissively, "Don’t worry, Elder Yu. I know my limits. Mister Liu, if it's not too much trouble, please take me to her."
"Okay. Please follow me, Lady Gu."
Mister Liu gestured respectfully into his home…
...
In the Liu household.
A girl was gently tasting her tea in the main hall. Her movements were slow, graceful and extremely elegant.
She was dressed in an extremely seductive red robe, her alluring figure would send any man’s blood pumping. However, upon seeing that face, their hot, pumping blood would instantly come to a stop…
The reason was not that the girl's face was extremely ugly, but because there were countless scars on one-half of her face. You could even see the bits of flesh that had been turned inside out. The scars ran up from her chin, to the corner of her eyes, completely destroying her beauty.
As she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the front of the house, the girl’s elegant eyebrows were knitted together. She raised her sharp chin and turned to look. Upon seeing Mister Liu, who was extremely late, her tone carried obvious impatience. However, no matter how much impatience she showed, it could not cover her natural charm.
"You really took your time there. I, the Ghost Doctor, am treating this patient out of my own goodwill, and you've actually made me wait for you?"
Mister Liu wiped away his cold sweat, smiled and spoke flatteringly, "O Honorable Ghost Doctor, please forgive your humble servant for arriving late. I’d like to introduce someone to you, honorable doctor. This is Gu Ruoyun from the Hundred Herb Hall. She wants to observe out of great respect for your excellent skills."
The Ghost Doctor’s gaze swept across Gu Ruoyun’s pretty face. A trace of mockery hung on her bright red lips, "No one is allowed to come near while I’m treating patients, especially someone who’s trying to steal my skills! On account of your young age, little girl, I’ll let you leave with your life. Hurry up and get out! Based on your aptitude, you’re not qualified to become my disciple, at all."
The Ghost Doctor may not have strong powers, but she was brilliant in medicine. She could even bring a person, who was already at death’s door, back into life. Because of that, even organizations such as the Dongfang family and the Weapon Refining Sect would need to show her some respect.
