Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor
chapter-1460

1460 A jade card Feng Jiu moved her gaze. Without speaking, she went towards Chen Dao’s cave dwelling.

Chen Dao helped her a lot in Third Sun Peak. If this resulted in Chen Dao unable to stand up, let alone Chen Dao himself found it unbearable, Feng Jiu would also not allow such a situation to happen.

“Hey, Feng Jiu, Feng Jiu, what are you going to do?” When Luo Heng saw her walking away, he followed her and advised, “There’s no need for you to go to Chen Dao’s home. He won’t see anyone. It’s useless for you to go.”

“How will I know that it’s useless if I don’t go see him?”

“What else can you do? You don’t know, after the accident, the Great Elder went to see Chen Dao. They are still considered relatives. After seeing Chen Dao, the Great Elder only said one sentence, which was the most devastating.”

Feng Jiu halted her steps and asked, “What did he say?”

Luo Heng also stopped. “After those physicians and alchemists reported to the Great Elder that Chen Dao’s lumbar spine was seriously injured and can’t stand up for the rest of his life, the Great Elder said that he will notify his clan’s men to pick Chen Dao up to return to the Chen Clan and retire there.”

Luo Heng sighed. “Tell me, if Chen Dao is really sent back to his clan, what kind of retirement he will get? Clearly, he’ll return home and wait for death. But, what can we do now? Even the Great Elder gave up on him. Moreover, as soon as the incident spread, some people who were on friendly terms with him before have also alienated him. After returning from the mystic realm, they didn’t even visit him.”

“I recalled that at the pinnacle of Chen Dao’s career, each and every one of those people came calling and begging him for advice on the Way of Alchemy and how to modify medicinal pills. Now, these people are avoiding him. I still have a little conscience.”

Feng Jiu was indifferent when she heard this. “There are many superfluous people who only add flowers to an already beautiful embroidery. However, those who send coals in the midst of winter are rare. It’s just human nature.” She continued to move forwards.

‘But there’s no use in your going! You are a little errand boy who has no skill in refining pills and no skill in the art of healing. If you go, it will only make him sadder.”

Along the way, Luo Heng kept walking beside Feng Jiu, chattering incessantly like a little sparrow. Feng Jiu couldn’t stand it. With a glance, she told him, “Are you done? Haven’t you said enough? It’s your business whether you’re going or not. It’s my own business to go. Why do you keep blocking me?”

Being yelled at by Feng Jiu, Luo Heng was startled. Watching Feng Jiu continue walking after a brief stop to shout at him, Luo Heng scratched his head in a daze. “This boy, he threw me off guard and scared me. Does he have any awareness that he’s just an errand boy? Why did he talk so loudly, wanting to scare me out of my wits?”

In front of Chen Dao’s cave dwelling, Feng Jiu stopped and looked at the cave protected by the boundary. She sighed softly, recalling the time when they were about to enter the mystic realm. That time, he gave her a jade card that allowed her to enter and leave his cave freely. Little did she think that this jade car came into use in this way.

Just as he was about to walk in, Luo Heng pulled her arm.

“Are you stupid? Don’t you see the boundary? We can’t get in until he opens it. After sending him back, I returned here several times but I could only call out from outside then entered together with the Great Elder.”

She looked back at Luo Heng and explained, “Senior Brother Chen once gave me a jade card to allow me to enter and exit his cave freely.So, even if his boundary was not opened, I can still go through.”
