Chapter 141 - The Divine Doctor

After dinner, Mo Zhu sat quietly at the dining table and chatted with Chen Man.

After replying to a few words about her physical condition, she seemed to have recalled something. Mo Zhu leaned over and looked at Huo Xuan, who was standing quietly at the side. “Who was the person who injured Auntie? Are the results of the interrogation over the past two days out?”

“No, that person probably underwent special training. Before the interrogation began, he had already consumed poison and committed suicide. There weren’t any useful clues left.” Huo Xuan shook his head lightly and pinched his glabella calmly.

When Mo Zhu heard this, her fingers gently tapped the table. She thought for a while and said seriously, “Auntie, you should go out as little as possible these few days. If you have anything to do outside, bring more of your own people with you.”

After a pause, Mo Zhu’s eyes darkened. “If this person’s attack didn’t succeed, he definitely had a backup plan. Besides, judging from his skills that night, he should have come from some well-trained organization in Cloud City. For safety reasons, we can’t let our guard down. We have to be more careful.”

It wasn’t that Mo Zhu was worrying too much. That day, she had hurriedly turned on the satellite’s location to help Huo Xuan chase after the culprit. Just by looking at the fork in the road the other party had chosen, she could determine the background of this person. If he wasn’t so familiar with Cloud City, he wouldn’t have been able to shake Huo Xuan off on so many streets.

Furthermore, the other party had clearly come prepared. Not only did they prepare a retreat plan in advance, they even brought Huo Xuan around the outskirts of the city in an orderly manner.

Seeing that Mo Zhu was deep in thought with her head lowered, Huo Xuan walked up to the girl and gently held her hand. “Xiao Zhu, you just woke up. Don’t think too much about these things. You’ve been sleeping for so long. Is there anything wrong with your body?”

Ever since Huo Xuan met Mo Zhu, this was the first time she had fallen asleep without warning for so many days. Huo Xuan couldn’t help but worry about her health.

She squeezed the man’s hand slightly and smiled. “It’s alright. I feel like I’m almost fully recovered after sleeping.”

Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s reply, everyone was relieved. Xu Huan, who was sitting in the living room and had been suppressing his questions, could not hold it in anymore. He quickly walked to everyone and asked anxiously, “Little Bamboo, you know the Seven Star Chain Needle technique. Are you the legendary divine doctor?”

Just as Xu Huan finished speaking, everyone present simultaneously placed their gazes on Mo Zhu.

Although Mo Jiu was still sitting on the sofa, he had been paying attention to what was happening at the dining table. He was even more curious about this question than Xu Huan.

Mo Zhu lowered her head and frowned. Although she had long known that revealing this would let everyone guess that she had some relationship with the divine doctor, she still wasn’t used to being asked by so many people.

Shaking her head, Mo Zhu did not have the intention to hide anything from the people in the room. She explained bluntly, “I’m not the divine doctor. I just happened to have learnt this unique skill from the divine doctor.”

“That’s impossible! Little Bamboo, your medical skills are so superb. I don’t believe that you’re not the divine doctor!” Xu Huan shouted with doubt written all over his face.

Mo Zhu was in no hurry to explain. She turned sideways and leaned back in her chair lazily. She glanced at Xu Huan lightly and said, “Didn’t you guys investigate the divine doctor before Huo Xuan could control the poison in his body? Why didn’t you guys find out if his gender was male or female?”

Once he said this, even Huo Xuan couldn’t help but frown and fall into deep thought. Previously, because of his illness, everyone had spent a lot of effort to go around asking about the divine doctor. However, from the relevant information they had gathered, the divine doctor was indeed a man.

If Mo Zhu wasn’t the divine doctor, why did she know the divine doctor’s unique skill? Was she the divine doctor’s disciple?

Thinking of this possibility, Huo Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “The divine doctor is indeed not a woman. Did he take you as his disciple?”

Upon hearing Huo Xuan’s question, Mo Zhu raised her brows and continued knocking on the table. “He still wants to take me as his disciple? Even if he has such intentions, I wouldn’t be willing to be his disciple!”

As she was neither the divine doctor nor his apprentice, Xu Huan scratched his head anxiously. “Little Bamboo, what’s your relationship with the divine doctor? Why is he willing to impart his unique skill to you?”

With a light smile, Mo Zhu stood up and patted the man’s shoulder. “If you insist on naming our relationship, I’m his creditor!”

She had helped Yun Jing escape from so many dangerous pursuits. Using the prices of the orders from the Pavilion of Love, she could definitely be termed as his creditor.

After saying this, Mo Zhu ignored Xu Huan and his puzzled gaze. She took out a porcelain bottle from her pocket and handed it to Chen Man.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Auntie, keep this bottle of pills for now. If there’s an emergency in the future, you can take one pill to protect your pulse.”

“No, no, Xiao Zhu, you’ve already saved my life this time. This medicine is too precious, how can I accept it!” When Chen Man heard this, she quickly reached out and wanted to push the pills back.

Mo Zhu had already done enough for her. Although she was not sure about the effects of the Seven Star Chain Needle technique, the girl had already been unconscious for so long to save her. How could she accept such a precious bottle of life-preservation medicine!
