She hated them. How could she not? In that wretched couple, one of them had been someone who had made vows to her, and the other was the little junior sister who had been so reliant on her. They had joined together in order to betray her for the sake of a medicine book, and even made it so that she could never return to the Medicine Order.
While laughing, tears rolled down the Ghost Doctor’s cheeks.
She had stayed independent for so long, not joining any organisations or sects; one of the reasons was for freedom, but the second was because her roots were in the Medicine Order. However, with her face ruined, the Medicine Order’s disciples wouldn’t be able to recognise that she had been the successor that her teacher had been the most proud of back then…
Furthermore, now that the Medicine Order was under the control of that wretched couple, returning there was tantamount to suicide!
“Girl, I stick to my word,” The Ghost Doctor wiped away the tears on her face, that lovely face held the glow of resolution, “However, while I’m willing to work for you, I don’t want to join any organisations you have under you. Shifu left the sect to me back then, but I wasn’t able to take care of it properly for him, so I’m returning to that sect in the future when I get the chance. Since that was the most ardent hope that Shifu left for me, I don’t want him to have died with regrets!”
Gu Ruoyun smiled, she had not expected that the Ghost Doctor would be someone who valued relationships and loyalty so highly. This kind of person was just what she needed.
“As long as you’re willing to stay by my side, it doesn’t count as breaking your oath.”
The Ghost Doctor felt gratitude in her heart. If Gu Ruoyun had forced her to join her organisation, she would have had no other choice; even if she had to break the oath, she had to return to the sect! But she had not done so…
This made the remaining unhappiness the Ghost Doctor had towards Gu Ruoyun fade away.
“Girl, did you make that Beauty Rejuvenation Pill?”
The Ghost Doctor looked at Gu Ruoyun with expectation.
“This…” Gu Ruoyun rubbed her nose, 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. Thinking of the rumours the mainland had about the Ghost Doctor, she had prepared this pill.
Luckily, the Ghost Doctor had joined her in the end.
“Girl, did you really refine this?” The Ghost Doctor’s eyes lit up, “If I’m not wrong, that was the legendary pill? Although that pill isn’t of much use to cultivators, but the women of the world are rather vain. If we put up that pill for auction, we’ll surely make a huge amount of money.”
Auction?
Gu Ruoyun’s heart trembled, why hadn’t she thought of that? Especially since she was lacking in finances lately…
Although Hundred Herb Hall made quite a bit of money, training her men would cost a lot, so she needed even more money.
“What a pity,” The Ghost Doctor shook her head as she said with regret, “It’s already lucky enough to have a single pill, considering how miraculous pills are. No one has been able to refine something like that in thousands of thousands of years.”
Looking at the Ghost Doctor sighing, Gu Ruoyun didn’t say anything, but her pupils darkened in deep thought.
As if she had thought of something, the Ghost Doctor turned her head to look at the dazed Mr Liu. She said coldly: “Remember, you’re not allowed to speak about what happened today, otherwise your wife’s life might be forfeit! I can save her, but I can also kill her without anyone noticing! If you let slip a single word, even if you escape to the edges of the world, you won’t be able to escape from me!”
Mr Liu couldn’t help but shiver, he hurriedly said: “Honorable Ghost Doctor, please rest easy. I won’t say a single word, absolutely no one will know of what happened today!”
This made the Ghost Doctor nod in satisfaction: “I hope you’ll remember your own promise. Otherwise, I’ll make sure your Liu family never gets a day of rest! I have something else to do today, I’ll come back tomorrow to treat your wife.”
