2101: One Person Might Be Able To Help

One Person Might Be Able To Help

When Yin Second Master heard his words, his anxious expression disappeared. He looked at Murong Yixuan and asked: "Young Master Murong, please accept my apologies on behalf of Heng'er. Don't let him anger you. We haven't even seen the Ghost Doctor yet, how can you wash your hands off the matter?"2

Murong Yixuan shook his head: "It's not that I am angered by him, or that I am washing my hands off this matter. I have already said this before, the Ghost Doctor's temperament is different from ordinary people. It won't be an easy task to seek Ghost Doctor's help for medical treatment. Now that Ziheng has made a move against Ghost Doctor's men once again, the matter is out of my control."

He smiled bitterly and said: "Furthermore, Yin Second Master, you overestimate my friendship with Ghost Doctor."

He had originally come with hopes of trying to ask for a favour, however, he didn't expect Ziheng to attack the people in Heavenly Pill Tower behind his back. Based on his understanding of Feng Jiu, it would be impossible to ask her to treat him now. Also, if he continued to play a part in this matter, he was afraid that he would be blacklisted by Feng Jiu. 

"Is there no other way?" He asked.

Murong Yixuan was about to shake his head when he stopped and glanced at Yin Second Master, and said: "I can think of one person."

"Who?" Yin Second Master asked. 

"Nalan Mo Chen." He said slowly: "He has quite a good friendship with the Ghost Doctor. If Yin Second Master can convince him to speak for Ziheng, the chances that the Ghost Doctor will treat him would be much higher."

He paused and spoke again: "However, you must not provoke the people of Heavenly Pill Tower again."

Yin Second Master was slightly startled when he heard this: "Nalan Mo Chen? Why does this name sound so familiar?" He must have heard of this name before, however, he was unable to place where he had heard of it from. 

Murong Yixuan smiled slightly: "He is Old Man Tianji's disciple. It is rumoured that he is home right now, and the Nalan Manor is in this Hundred Rivers City. Rather than pay a visit to the President of the Alchemist Guild, Yin Second Master might consider paying a visit to to the Nalan Manor instead."

"I see, so he is the disciple of Old Man Tianji. No wonder his name sounds so familiar." He nodded and hesitated a little: "However, I heard that this Young Master Nalan doesn't really like to be around people." Or more accurately, most people wouldn't catch his attention, let alone ask him to intercede on their behalf. 

Murong Yixuan nodded: "That's right, but this is an opportunity not to be missed. If he will intercede on your behalf, there might be a fifty or sixty percent chance of the Ghost Doctor treating Ziheng, and his illness might be cured."

Upon hearing this, Yin Second Master's heart moved and he no longer pondered. Instead, he responded: "I will make a trip to the Nalan Manor and hope that I may meet this Young Master Nalan!"

On the other side, the sun had set, and Leng Hua had returned to Heavenly Pill Tower. 

"You're back? Didn't you say that you will be back soon? Why did you take so long? Did Yang Family Patriarch and Xiao Er ask you to stay for dinner?" Du Fan leaned back against the chair he was sitting on and teased Leng Hua who had just stepped in. 

"You can really predict everything."

Leng Hua smiled and came to sit down on the chair beside him: "I had originally planned to leave after I delivered the medicine, however, she and her father insisted that I stayed for dinner. As I couldn't get out of it, I ate a little and chatted with them. That's why I am only back now." Leng Hua said softly. He poured a cup of tea to drink. 

Fan Lin walked out and looked at Leng Hua with a smile: "Your elder sister sent word for you to return to the manor tonight when you return."
