The Divine Physician’s Overbearing Wife
chapter-867

What was saving face?

He did not know anything about it. He just wanted to protect these jade pieces.

Those were all his babies. If he absorbed all the spiritual qi from within these jade pieces, he could further improve his strength.

But…

His daughter had already smashed another one again before he could use it.

“Good.”

Gu Yiyi put down the jade bottle and turned to Feng Ruqing with a smile. She was waiting for Feng Ruqing to praise her.

Gu Shi was even more heartbroken.

Her daughter was helping other people rather than him.

Feng Ruqing caressed Gu Yiyi’s head. “Which spirit herb do you want?”

Gu Shi who was still upset lightened up after he heard Feng Ruqing’s words. He hurriedly looked at Feng Ruqing and his breathing was fast.

But Gu Yiyi shook her head and refused.

“I didn’t help you because of the spirit herb. I don’t want it.”

Gu Shi wanted to help Gu Yiyi answer Feng Ruqing’s question. Nonetheless, he did not dare to say anything. He could only stare at Feng Ruqing.

Feng Ruqing remained silent for a while. “I have a spirit herb with me. Only those lower than Dark Warrior tier could use it. It can help speed up the cultivation speed. It will not have much effect on those who have achieved Dark Warrior tier. You are still not strong enough, so you should just keep it first. Wait until you have achieved Spirit Warrior tier.”

Gu Shi’s heart trembled. He gazed at Feng Ruqing with a complicated feeling in his heart.

He knew what Feng Ruqing meant. Although she was talking to Gu Yiyi, the spirit herb was mainly prepared for the chief manor.

What did the chief manor have the most? Members of Spirit Warrior tier!

Those who have achieved Spirit Warrior tier were definitely strong. But for Gu Shi’s case, there were too many of them in the chief manor.

What if all of them got to achieve Dark Warrior tier?

By increasing the cultivation speed ten times faster than usual, what would happen to the chief manor?

There would no longer be any Spirit Warrior tier in the chief manor in one or two years.

“Okay.”

Gu Yiyi smiled and accepted it.

She would treasure anything that Xiao Qing gave to her for the rest of her life. No one could snatch it from her!

***

The back hill was a forbidden area in Tian Shen Manor.

Gu Shi himself also did not know the reason why it was a forbidden area.

He just continued enforcing that rule because he did not want people to see the woman in the back hill.

Gu Shi was willing to take Feng Ruqing to the back hill because he thought that Feng Ruqing was just taking a stroll there. He believed that she would not find the woman he was hiding so coincidentally.

However, he started to panic a few minutes after they were in the area.

It was because Feng Ruqing was walking in the direction where he had hidden the woman.

He wanted to stop them, but he had no reason in doing so.

“Father, why is there a dungeon in this back hill?” Gu Yiyi realized that something was not right. He looked back at Gu Shi. “You have not really imprisoned any woman, right? Or have you?”

Gu Shi’s face grew dark.

Did his daughter girl really think that he was such a bad person, a bad person like the former manor master?

Furthermore, with his handsome face and strength, many women were waiting in line to meet him. He did not have to do that.

But Gu Shi could not say anything when he thought of the woman who was reluctant to leave the dungeon.

“Yiyi,” Gu Shi said with a smile on his face. “There is nothing to see here. I’ll take you to see the scenery. There is also a hot spring in the other direction. It’s quite good. What about…”

Under normal circumstances, Gu Yiyi would not have wanted to go visit a dungeon.
