Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor



"You mean something like medicinal items?" Patriarch Qin looked at one of the Clan Elders and hesitated, then said: "I'm afraid we don't have any rare medicinal items."

"I don't think the Ghost Doctor is an ordinary person. I'm afraid she won't like anything that we can offer. I think that the most convenient thing to give her is rock crystal." One of the Clan Elders said. He looked at the others: "What do you think?"

"That is a good idea, but is it too straightforward?"

"Why would that be? No matter where she is, rock crystal is the most versatile spar currency. It is the most practical thing to give her."

Several people discussed the matter, and finally, it was agreed. They planned to prepare some rock crystals for Feng Jiu, which could be regarded as the cost of treatment and also a gift in return. 

In the wing-room in the back courtyard, the servants from the kitchen delivered food to the courtyard where Feng Jiu was. Feng Jiu, who was resting in the room, came out of the room and sat at the stone table in the courtyard when she heard the commotion. Then, she took her time to eat her dinner. 

Patriarch Qin and his eldest son accompanied her in the courtyard. After she had eaten her fill, Patriarch Qin asked: "Ghost Doctor, are the dishes to your liking?"

"Yes, they're not bad." Feng Jiu replied and wiped the corners of her mouth, then she stood up: "I am going back into the room. You should go back to rest too."

When Patriarch Qin watched her walk away after she had spoken, he couldn't help but swallow the words that came to his lips. He signalled the servants to clear the dishes and left with his eldest son. 

Not long after, the people that he had sent to inquire about Feng Jiu returned. 

"Patriarch, subordinate inquired in the city and learned that the Ghost Doctor arrived in our city a few days ago. After she came to our city, she rescued someone…" The secret guard reported the news he had learnt to the Patriarch who was sitting on the throne. 

After hearing the secret guard's words, Patriarch Qin was secretly startled, but he also knew that if the Ghost Doctor was able to save those two people, she would also be able to cure his son. Even so, there was still a trace of surprise in his heart. 

No one knew where the Ghost Doctor had come from? She seemed to have appeared out of thin air. But she had such amazing abilities. How strange. 

That night, no one in the Qin Family could sleep peacefully, especially Patriarch Qin and his wife. 

Patriarch Qin, who was standing by the window with his robe on, looked out and sighed softly. He turned around and walked back and forth in his room, at unease. What the Ghost Doctor had said about whether Heng'er could survive tonight was most likely not that simple. Could it be that some evil spirits will come tonight?

When he thought of this, he had the urge to go to the courtyard to see what was happening. However, he had no choice but to give up this notion when he thought of the Ghost Doctor's orders. Even so, his heart couldn't help but be worried about the situation over there. 

"My Lord, do we need to go and take a look at Heng'er? It worries me that there is only the Ghost Doctor there alone. What if something were to happen? How can a woman handle it?"

Madam Qin hadn't even taken off her robe, she was pacing up and down the bedroom. From time to time, she looked outside. She had already made up her mind to go over immediately to take a look if there was any disturbance in the courtyard. It was just that the courtyard was some distance away and she was unable to see the situation over there at this time. This made her feel very uneasy. 

"It's fine, the Ghost Doctor is not an ordinary person." Patriarch Qin comforted her, but he wasn't sure if his words were intended to comfort his wife or himself.
