The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
Chapter.107: Expert Cultivators of the Spirit Sect (6)
Gu Ruoyun was speechless! Was this man incapable of acting like an ordinary person? However, he did not harbor any bad feelings towards Zuo Shangchen. He could sense that he was just teasing her with words.
"Alright then, let's talk business. Do you know the person who was here?"
Upon hearing his question, the mischievous smile on his face gradually disappeared. Her almond-shaped eyes narrowed as a cold smile began to form on her beautiful face.
He tried to endure the whirling storm in his eyes as he took a deep breath and said, "Let's talk somewhere else, Xiao Yun'er."
"All right."
Awe flashed before Gu Ruoyun's eyes, but she simply replied with, "Then, let's go to my operations headquarters."
...
Inside the courtyard, under the breeze of spring, the leaves of the willow tree swayed in the wind.
Wei Yiyi ignored the gazes of the spectators, busying herself by serving Gu Ruoyun - fetching water and pouring her tea. Anyone who was unaware of the situation might even assume that she was Gu Ruoyun's servant girl.
Zuo Shangchen pulled back the shocked expression on his face as he smiled and said, "Xiao Yun'er! I don't think you will have the skills to bring Wei Yiyi, the legendary Ghost Doctor under your wings! I think I'm really underestimating you."
"How could anyone think this girl was useless?" He thinks. Would anyone, even if they were geniuses, be able to make the legendary Ghost Physician serve them wholeheartedly like he is serving Gu Ruoyun now?
"He chose to follow me of his own accord," ။ Gu Ruoyun said as she sipped some tea. As he put down his teacup, he said, "In addition, Wei Yiyi is not a subordinate. He was just here to help me with some of the business I had. His only master was the Order of Medicine - the place where his master came from. ."
It seems like you have heard of the Medication Order, Zuo Shangchen said with a smile. "Then you have to understand the situation. Wei Yiyi was currently a wanted criminal within the Order of Medicine. Although they were not as big as the Weapon Refining Sect, their strength was roughly the same. People within the Order of Medicine realized that he had stolen the Precious Medicine Encyclopedia. Therefore, he could no longer return to the Order of Medicine. Moreover, he had once been poisoned and even though the poison within him had been purged, his strength was significantly reduced compared to the time before his poison. You will face major problems if you continue your journey with him.
Gu Ruoyun was startled, "Even those in the Order of Medicine were unsure of the situation currently surrounding the Ghost Doctor. How are you so sure that Wei Yiyi is indeed a prisoner that the Order of Medicine is after?"
"There is absolutely nothing in this world that I do not know. But..." He paused with a smile as he said, "Those people might be able to guess the identity of the Ghost Doctor. Other than someone who possessed a Precious Medicine Encyclopedia, who would possess outstanding medical skills? The Order of Medicine had not come for him because they had been in trouble for the past few years and could not spare the men to find him."
Wei Yiyi was immersed in a deep silence before she asked, "You mentioned that I am currently a wanted criminal, why is that?"
Many years ago, when the unfortunate couple tried to kill him, he managed to escape, leaving the place and heading towards the Azure Dragon Country. He didn't know what happened after the incident.
"The daughter of the previous master had turned into an idiot, and it should have been the work of the Ghost Doctor. So, the Order of Medicine has placed you on the list of the most wanted people. The one who issued the order was your fellow disciple, as well as the current master of the Order of Medicine
"What did you say?"
Wei Yiyi shook her head in disbelief as she became extremely agitated, "That's impossible! How could Xiao Tong turn into an idiot? That's absolutely impossible!"
