64 The Duel That Turned The Tide 5

Gu Ruoyun paused a while before continuing, "I am very interested in the healing art. I hope that I could come and have a look when the ghost doctor shows up to treat the illness."

"This...." The middle-aged man hesitated for a while before he spoke again, "I'm not in a position to make a decision about this. I would have to ask permission from the ghost doctor first. Although the ghost doctor has quite a good skill, his temper can be a little peculiar. If he was fond of somebody, he’d heal that person without even asking for one gold coin as payment. However, if he didn't like that person, he would never bother to treat him at all even if a whole country was given to him as a repayment."

"It's alright, just inform me when the time comes."

Fondling her chin, Gu Ruoyun gave a sinister smile.

When she first came to the West Spirit Mainland, she had also heard of the reputation of the ghost doctor before. If she could manage to take him into the Devil Sect, she would not have to worry anything about medical field anymore...

"Master, your smile is a little terrifying."

A cold shiver ran down the Mo Yu's spine. Why did she have a feeling that master was going to do something bad?

"Xun Feng, Mo Yu, let's go!"

Gu Ruoyun did not take offense about what Mo Yu said at all. She shrugged her shoulders and gave her final word before she turned and left the house.

Watching the slender silhouette slowly disappeared, Ling Yu couldn't help clenching her pink fists together, stressing each syllabus as she said, "Gu Ruoyun, I'll let you be arrogant this time! Wait till big brother’s done with his cultivation, you’ll then meet with your death sentence!"

Ling household.

Inside the secret room, the young man who was sitting cross-legged at first slowly opened his eyes where a glimpse of dark light flashed past.

"I finally succeeded in cultivating the secret technique that Lady Shi Yun passed on to me and right now, it’s finally the time for me to get my revenge! Just you wait and see, Gu Ruoyun! I will defeat you in front of everybody in just two days time! Then, I'll finally pay off old scores!

...

In regards to the plans of the Ling family, Gu Ruoyun obviously had no clue at all. Recently, she had been so busy that she did not have time left to even pay the slightest attention to them.

"That's right, Elder Yu. Has Dongfang young master left yet?"

As if recalling something in her mind, Gu Ruoyun turned her head towards Elder Yu and asked.

Nodding his head, Elder Yu's eyes were filled with concern. "Something has happened to the Dongfang family. Young master has been summoned by the master to go back home."

"Something has happened?" Gu Ruoyun knitted her brows together, asking, "What's happened to the Dongfang family? Also, is the Weapon Refining Sect still in Azure Dragon Country?"

Every time she met with Dongfang Shaoze, she would always feel a sense of warmth and friendliness. Naturally, she would not want anything bad to happen to him.

"That's right."

Elder Yu laughed out grimly, "Not only that, the spies of the Weapon Refining Sect always comes to the entrance of the Gu family household to scoop for news. It seems like they will not give up until they’ve achieved their purpose. It's so unfortunate that the Dongfang family has met with such mishap, otherwise, they wouldn’t have let the Weapon Refining Sect off easily."

Gu Ruoyun said while shaking her head, "There's no need for Dongfang Shaoze's subordinate to take action. You see, I don't like to rely on others."

Opening his mouth like he was going to say something, but Elder Yu paused before he closed his mouth again eventually.

A few days after.

The entire Azure Dragon Country was shaken by a piece of news.

"Did you hear about it? The young master of the Ling family, Ling Xi, plans to have a duel with the loser who got kicked out of the Gu family two days later! On top of that, the judge will be no other than the master warriors from the Weapon Refining Sect."

"It is said that this duel was set by both parties a few months before, but it seems like somehow it got called off again. Perhaps it was Gu Ruoyun who chickened her way out. I can't believe that she has the guts to accept the challenge again!"

"This time, the news was released by the Ling family. Both of them have even made a promise that if Gu Ruoyun lost the duel, Hundred Herb Hall's ownership would be passed on to the Ling family from now onwards! I wonder why did the manager of the Hundred Herb Hall agree to such conditions? It is an obvious fact that they’re giving away the Hundred Herb hall just like that. That Gu Ruoyun was nothing more than a servant of the hall. How is it worth it to agree to that kind of promise for her sake?"
