Chapter 651: Taking in a disciple
Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
“Sir Ghost Doctor.”
Three Elders’ expression immediately turned respectful upon seeing Ghost Doctor.
Ghost Doctor held a sunken face as his expression was extremely ugly, “Get out if you have anything to say! Don’t disturb me refining my pills!”
Three Elders nodded their heads consecutively as they respectfully shut the door to the pill refining room.
The minute before the door was shut, Yun Xiang’s vision gazed towards Ye Qing Luo indistinctly, with a probing sense.
The pill refining room resumed its quietness and Ye Qing Luo turned to look at Ghost Doctor who was pretending that he was alright. Perhaps he had taken some pill which made his complexion turn back to normal, unlike the previous paleness.
There was no blood stench on him as well.
At this moment, Ye Qing Luo was almost sure that Ghost Doctor’s injury…. was related to the Director.
Furthermore, the Director was starting to be suspicious of Ghost Doctor.
Hadn’t the Director always respected Ghost Doctor greatly?
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have specially set up a pill refining room for him on the second storey of the library pavilion.
What relationship… Did the two of them have?
Suddenly, Ye Qing Luo recalled the conversation between the Director and some guardian on the second storey not too long ago…
Recalling the fact that the Director wanted to eliminate her, but the majority of the reason was still because of Ghost Doctor’s face, which he then retracted his hand on this matter…..
Ye Qing Luo’s heart suddenly suffocated.
“Didn’t you say that it’s best if you don’t know anything?” Ghost Doctor looked at Ye Qing Luo’s grave expression as he sighed slightly.
Ye Qing Luo walked over and supported Ghost Doctor back to the secret room as she said, “Whatever Senior Ghost Doctor does would have your own reason, I will not make any wild guesses.”
“What did you call me?” Ghost Doctor frowned.
Ye Qing Luo was stunned as she pursed her lips, “Senior Ghost Doctor…”
“En?” Ghost Doctor became upset, “Earlier how did you greet me in front of those geezers?”
Ye Qing Luo drooped her eyes as she naturally understood Ghost Doctor’s meaning.
Ghost Doctor truly wanted to accept her, to take her in as his disciple.
Ye Qing Luo admitted that she indeed wanted to learn more skills from Ghost Doctor.
But…
There was no way she could become Ghost Doctor’s disciple.
There was no way she could betray the Master in her heart.
In Ye Qing Luo’s heart, her Master… could only be Old Man Cang.
Coming to this strange new world, it was Old Man Cang who helped to cleanse her marrows and rebuilt her bones. It was Old Man Cang who taught her how to hold her standing in this strange world, and it was his whole hearted teachings which allowed her to continue living till now.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rejected Gui You in the first place.
“Not willing to?” Ghost Doctor’s gaze sunk slightly as his forehead creased into a knot.
The Ghost Doctor was feeling astonished.
So many students were fighting head over heels for him to be their Master.
Now that he automatically accepted Ye Qing Luo as a disciple, he was rejected?
He could tell Ye Qing Luo’s innate talent in terms of alchemy.
He could also tell that Ye Qing Luo had great interest in alchemy.
As long as she underwent his training or a period of time, she would definitely be able to surpass him.
It was highly possible that she could exceed the rank of Emperor to become Divine!
“Senior Ghost Doctor, I’m very glad that you are willing to take me in as disciple because Senior Ghost Doctor has already acknowledged my ability.” Ye Qing Luo lifted up her eyes to explain, “But…. Senior Ghost Doctor, I’m sorry, I can’t…”
“Lass!”
Her head suddenly rang Old Man Cang’s voice, breaking off her words urgently, “I know your intentions but this chance doesn’t come by very much.”
Old Man Cang really liked this young lass.
Ye Qing Luo’s respectful heart towards him was something which he sensed.
If it was because of him, a sliver of remnant soul without any physical body, sacrificing Ye Qing Luo’s progress, sacrificing Ye Qing Luo’s future…
He couldn’t do it, neither could he bear to do it.
Ye Qing Luo was his hope, she was his chance of redemption.
“Lass, agree to it.”
