Chapter 90: The Taming of the Ghost Doctor (4)
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She hated them... And how could she not? Between the two of them, was someone who had made a solemn vow to her while the other was a fellow junior female apprentice who had been so reliant on her. The both of them had joined together in order to betray her... All for the sake of a medical book, and had even made it so that she could never return to the Medicine Order.
As she laughed, tears rolled down the Ghost Doctor’s cheeks.
She had remained independent for so long, not joining any organizations or any sects. One of the reasons for this was for freedom, but the second one, was because her roots were in the Medicine Order. However, with her face ruined, the disciples of the Medicine Order would never be able to recognize her for being the successor that her master had been most proud of, all those years ago…
Furthermore, now that the Medicine Order was under the control of that wretched couple, returning there was the equivalent of suicide!
"I will keep my word, little girl." The Ghost Doctor wiped away the tears on her face. Her lovely face held the glow of resolution, "However, while I’m willing to work for you, I don’t want to be a part of any organizations that are under your wing. My master had left his organization to my inheritance long ago, but I was not able to properly take care of it for him. So I will return to my organization in the future, whenever I get the chance. Since that was the most ardent form of hope that he had left for me, I don’t want him to have died with any grievance left in this world."
Gu Ruoyun smiled, she had not expected that the Ghost Doctor would turn out to be someone who highly valued relationships and loyalty. This is the kind of person that she needed.
"As long as you’re willing to stay by my side, it does not count as breaking your oath."
The Ghost Doctor felt such immense gratitude in her heart. If Gu Ruoyun had forced her to join her organization, she would have had no other choice. She had to return to her organization, even if she had to break the oath! However, Gu Ruoyun did not do so…
This made the remaining dissatisfaction that the Ghost Doctor had felt towards Gu Ruoyun, fade away.
"Did you make that Beauty Rejuvenation Pill, girl?"
The Ghost Doctor looked at Gu Ruoyun with anticipation.
"This…" Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose in hesitation but nodded in the end.
The Beauty Rejuvenation Pill was one of the three pill formulas in the first level of the Ancient Divine Pagoda. Once she had thought of the rumors surrounding the Ghost Doctor in the mainland, she went ahead prepared this very pill.
Luckily, the Ghost Doctor had agreed to join her in the end.
"Did you really refine this, girl?" The Ghost Doctor’s eyes lit up, "Unless I am mistaken, that was one of the legendary pills? Although this pill isn’t of much use to cultivators, the women of the world are rather vain. If we put up this pill up for auction, we’ll surely be able to make a huge amount of money."
Auction? Gu Ruoyun’s heart trembled, why didn't I think of that? Especially since I've been lacking in finances of late…
Although Hundred Herb Hall made quite a bit of money, training her team would cost much, much more. She needed more money.
"What a pity," The Ghost Doctor shook her head disappointedly, "It’s already lucky enough to have one pill... Considering how miraculous pills are known to be. No one has ever been able to refine something like that for over thousands of years."
Upon seeing the regretful sighs of the Ghost Doctor, Gu Ruoyun said nothing but her eyes darkened, as she went into deep thoughts.
As if she had remembered something, the Ghost Doctor turned her head to look at Mister Liu, who was in a daze. She spoke to him coldly, "Remember, you’re not allowed to speak about what happened today. Otherwise, consider the life of your wife in forfeit! I can save her, but I can also kill her without anyone ever noticing! If you even dare to blurt a single word, you won’t ever be able to escape from me even if you run to the edge of the world!"
Mister Liu could not help but shiver, he hurriedly replied, "Please rest easy, honorable Ghost Doctor. I won’t say a single word, no one will know what happened today!"
Satisfied, the Ghost Doctor nodded, "I hope that you’ll remember your own promise. Otherwise, I’ll ensure that your Liu family will never have a day of rest! I have something else to do today, so I’ll return tomorrow to treat your wife."
