The Wild Empress of the Evil Emperor
89. Chapter 89: Taming the Ghost Doctor (5)
Master Liu did not dare to express any form of dissatisfaction at the words of the Ghost Doctor. He could only reply respectfully, "As far as you are, Doctor Ghost."
"Little girl," the Ghost Doctor turned to look at Gu Ruoyun, her expression carrying a hint of flattery, "How can you refine that Beauty Rejuvenation Pill? Can you teach me?"
At first, the Ghost Doctor was only willing to listen to Gu Ruoyun, just because of the oath she had to make. However, once he knew that Gu Ruoyun was indeed the one who had refined the Beauty Rejuvenation pill, his attitude had completely changed. He did not even dare to have the slightest bit of disrespect in his voice.
Gu Ruoyun, on the other hand, had acknowledged refining her own Beauty Rejuvenation Pill, only to have the Ghost Physician obey her more willingly!
"About that, I should ask my teacher's opinion."
Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose. Of course, this teacher was truly a delusion, but the Ghost Doctor was not suspicious at all.
Based on Gu Ruoyun's age, how could she refine a legendary pill, if she didn't have a teacher? The Ghost Doctor thought. Moreover, his teacher was probably an old demon who had lived for many years...
"How about this then... Accept me as your disciple, little girl. You should feel proud to have a Ghost Doctor as your disciple." The Ghost Doctor laughed a little. Clearly, in his eyes, Gu Ruoyun was like a juicy piece of meat.
Gu Ruoyun glanced at the smiling face of the Ghost Doctor, who was filled with flattery. He then shrugged and said, "Your medical skills are not good enough. You don't deserve to be my student."
If this were to come out of the mouths of others, the Ghost Doctor would definitely snort with disdain but come from it? He was a genius who could refine pills! The medical skill of the Ghost Doctor was indeed paled in comparison to him.
After giving his reply, Gu Ruoyun bid farewell to Master Liu, "My business is done here. Thank you for your guidance today, goodbye."
He then turned around and headed to the door.
Upon seeing that Gu Ruoyun was about to do so disappear, the Ghost Doctor no longer cared about his actions. He was chasing after her.
"Wait for me, little lord! Please, wait!"
...
The palace maid replied respectfully, "It seems that the fourth prince of the Vermillion Bird Country has come to visit, so His Majesty went to give him a welcome."
"The fourth prince of the Vermilion Bird Country?" The concubine of the Ling Empire frowned. Suddenly, a voice sounded from outside his door.
"The Imperial Concubine, the second granddaughter of the Ling family, Ling Yu, requested an audience."
"Xiao Lingyu?" The Ling Empire's concubine rubbed her temples, feeling a headache, "The girl likes to cause trouble and has caused a lot of trouble for the Ling family. I wonder why he is here today ... Let him in, servants."
As he gave the order, a fragrant breeze came with a loud sobbing sound blowing from outside the hall.
Ling Yu threw herself into the arms of Imperial Concubine Ling, and shouted miserably, "Auntie! You must bring justice to Grandpa and Brother!"
"What happened to your grandfather and your brother?" Imperial Concubine Ling asked as she frowned elegantly.
His Majesty doesn't like his concubine to ask about things outside the palace. The moment they entered the palace would be the same moment as they severed whatever connection they had with the outside world. No news from outside the palace would reach his ears...
Thus, the Ling Empire's Concubine still did not know what had befallen the Ling family.
"Auntie, Grandpa died because of Gu Ruoyun! He even caused my brother to be paralyzed. He was even taken away by the Luo family!"
"What did you say?"
The Ling Empire's concubine immediately rose from her seat, and tightly clenched her fists. He slowly asked, "Is this true?"
"That's all right," Ling Yu shouted unhappily, "Gu Ruoyun allowed someone by her side to kill Grandpa. He himself even crippled Brother. However, Second Grandpa refused to avenge Grandpa and Big Brother. After Grandfather died, he took complete control of the family and had even sent people to watch over me so that I would not enter the palace to tell you about this. I'm having trouble escaping from the eyes he has and running here to meet you."
