Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor - Chapter 1400
Chapter 1400: Martial Uncle Shangguan
Feng Jiu’s eyes moved slightly and looked back, following his gaze. She saw a figure in white on the flying sword going toward the back of the cave dwelling. That person’s silhouette was graceful and delicate while her white dress was simple yet elegant and pure. All those, coupled with her outstanding looks, dazzled people’s eyes.
“Ah! Martial Uncle Shangguan is back.”
She said in surprise. After that figure went out of sight, she looked at Senior Brother Hu. “Senior Brother Hu, I have to deliver the medicine. I’ll have a good chat when we have time next time. I’m leaving first.”
Feng Jiu waved, then turned around and went toward the back of the cave dwelling.
That’s her mother, indeed! She had a clearer glimpse up close. But, it seems the person was a bit cold, just like a pool of still water without any currents. She gave people the impression of impenetrable silence.
Seeing her mother like that, Feng Jiu felt pain in her heart. She must have missed her and her father!
Just, having arrived here, she was Third Sun Master’s inner disciple. If she wanted to leave the sect for an experience outside, she should be allowed to go to the Phoenix Empire to see them! It’s just, from the way she looked, it seems…
Wondering, she walked briskly towards the back. When she arrived at the last cave dwelling where her mother had disappeared to, she stood outside and hesitated for a moment.
“Martial Uncle Shangguan, Martial Uncle Shangguan. I’m the disciple who delivers your medicinal materials.”
She shouted twice and looked at the cave with slight nervousness. Perhaps, her voice was transmitted inside. Not long after, the boundary in front of the cave dwelling dispersed and the indifferent voice of Shangguan Wanrong came from inside.
“Come in!”
Feng Jiu was overjoyed. When she was about to step in, she suddenly saw that there was another person at her side. She looked over and her expression turned stiff. “Senior Brother Hu? Why are you here?” What was this man doing here? This was not his master’s cave.
“A few days ago, I obtained a few spirit fruits. I’m giving them to Martial Uncle Shangguan.” He looked into the cave.
“Spirit fruits, huh. It’s fine to just pass me those. I’ll bring them to Martial Uncle Shangguan!” Feng Jiu just noticed the basket in his arm that contained a few fruits.
“No, that would be rude.” He said, glancing at Feng Jiu.”Alright, let’s go! Don’t talk about it here.” With that, he walked in first.
Feng Jiu had no choice. She could only follow him inside.
If she couldn’t see Senior Brother Hu’s intention clearly by this time, she would have lived in vain. However, her mother was born beautiful. It was normal for someone to desire her. Even though it’s normal, it’s so reckless to target her mother in front of her.
She looked askance at Senior Brother Hu who came in excitedly. With her countenance changed, she entered with a grin and both eyes narrowed. Inside the cave, she saw a figure in white sitting at the stone table and drinking tea.
She was indifferent, as if she didn’t care about anything. Even when they came in, she didn’t lift her eyes to take a look at them, but only said faintly, “Put the spirit herbs on the shelf.”
“I’ve met Martial Uncle Shangguan.” The man surnamed Hu came forward and saluted her with affection. His tone was ingratiating. “Martial Uncle Shangguan, it’s me. We met once earlier.”
With that, he put the basket on the table. “These are fresh fruits, which I specially brought to honor Martial Uncle Shangguan.”
