172 Subduing The White Tiger 2

Gu Ruoyun was completely dumbfounded.

The Four Divine Beasts combined could not take down Zixie? How powerful was ZIxie when he was at his peak?

"Master, what’s going on?" Wei Yiyi blinked curiously at Gu Ruoyun.

"It’s nothing." Gu Ruoyun shook her head as her eyes landed on the little beggar’s dismayed face. "Little fellow, I may be able to help you out with the spiritual beast inside that body of yours."

The young lady’s cool voice slammed into the little beggar’s heart. His head snapped up as he stared directly at Gu Ruoyun with his wide eyes. At that moment, his breathing quickened.

"Are… are you serious?"

Father had sought help from countless people all these years but his efforts had been in vain. No one had any idea on how to deal with the spiritual beast within him, only Gu Ruoyun alone had said that she has a way to help him…

His heart leaped at that notion like a spark of flame rising from within the ashes.

"I could help you but I have two requests." Gu Ruoyun said with a smile, her eyes bright, "First, the spiritual beast within you will be mine and second, you will become mine as well!"

The little beggar was stunned. Then, he was quiet. Moments passed before he angled his head up to stare unblinkingly at Gu Ruoyun again.

"Your first request… To be honest, numerous experts had tried to subdue the spiritual beast within me throughout the years. Unfortunately, none of them succeeded. Some of them were even hurt by the spiritual beast. The second request, however." The little beggar hesitated. "I’ll need to ask my father."

"No problem."

Gu Ruoyun nodded. "I’ll give you some time to sleep on it. If you choose to follow me, not only can I promise that the spiritual beast within you will cause you no harm, I can also provide you the fastest way to obtain power that is so strong that you will be unrivaled!"

Frankly, this little beggar would only require minimal training from her. With his natural potential, he will soon become a formidable strength that could shake the four corners of the land!

Of course, her assistance was offered not only because of the White Tiger. She was also very interested in his potential; after all. An ultimate talent like his was one in a million and no one would give up on him without a fight.

"I will discuss this matter with my father in this period of time. Meanwhile, can I stay here with you?" The little beggar asked nervously as he bit on his lips.

Gu Ruoyun smiled. "That will not be a problem, but. Do you have anything else to tell us? It is evident from your aura that you come from a big family with a great background. Maybe you want to tell us what happened that made you fall into this predicament today?"

The little beggar never expected Gu Ruoyun to ask this question. He was silent for a while before he spoke, "I am the only boy in the family, which means that I am the only heir too. A rival family of ours will definitely try to stop me if they knew that I had come to seek help from the Ghost Doctor. Thus, Father could only send me out secretly. To avoid suspicion, he did not send people to escort me on my journey. He also told me to not contact him unless it was absolutely necessary. I do not have much strength, which was why I became this pathetic. Thankfully, I finally found the Ghost Doctor and there is a way to cure me now."

The little beggar was very moved by the turn of events. This lady whom the Ghost Doctor had called her Master must have a high mastery of the medical skills. He could not help himself but believe in her words…

"Hmm." Gu Ruoyun nodded slightly before she continued. "Wei Yiyi, bring him to the showers and allow him a change of clothes. Then, bring him back to see me."

After that, she went into the Hundred Herb Hall without a backward glance…
