Chapter 1181: Chapter 1183: Disappearing Into Thin Air_1 Chapter 1181: Chapter 1183: Disappearing Into Thin Air_1 Inside the firewood room in the backyard of Yicui Building, the Ghost Doctor let out a heavy sigh, “After all these years of hunting geese, today the goose has pecked at my eyes; I am old, and now I have fallen into the hands of a re girl.”
“Father, don’t worry, I will find a way to save you,” Nianrong said while rubbing the hemp rope tied around her wrists against the wall.
The Ghost Doctor chuckled lightly, “There are too many experts outside, it seems we won’t have an easy escape; looks like Father has offended the wrong person this ti.”
Fuming with anger, Nianrong said, “It’s all because of that despicable woman who poisoned you with the poisonous insect; otherwise, none of those people outside would be your match.
Once we get out, I will capture that woman and make her a dicinal puppet!”
“Nianrong, stop fixating on that lad.
His identity is not simple, and the group that has captured us is also after him.
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have agreed to you choosing him as your husband that day,” said the Ghost Doctor, now speaking with great difficulty as his qi blood flow was impeded, realizing his initial mistake.
“We should have never saved him!” Nianrong said angrily.
The Ghost Doctor had not finished speaking when he suddenly stood up, but because of this movent, he spat out another mouthful of black blood.
“Father, don’t move, what if the poisonous insect poison strikes your heart?” Nianrong burst into tears seeing his condition.
“It’s alright, don’t be afraid,” the Ghost Doctor said, looking at his daughter with an exceptionally gentle gaze.
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, grabbing the top of Nianrong’s head, and a substantial stream of inner strength began flowing into Nianrong’s body.
“Father, what are you doing?” Nianrong exclaid, her eyes wide with horror, the pain in her expression revealing that she knew exactly what her father was doing.
“Nianrong, don’t get emotional.
Listen to what your father has to say,” the Ghost Doctor’s complexion grew increasingly unsightly as his inner strength drained away.
“Father, stop talking, just stop, or I’ll never speak to you again!” Nianrong cried out.
The Ghost Doctor’s face showed a wan smile, “It’s okay, as long as you live well, that’s enough for ; your father can go find your mother.
To tell you the truth, I have been tired of living for a long ti.
If it weren’t for your young age back then, I would have gone to see your mother a long ti ago.
Now that you’ve grown up and can take care of yourself, let your father leave peacefully.”
“With the inner strength you have received from your father, plus what he taught you over these years, you should have enough to protect your life.
However, rember, do not seek revenge.
If even your father could not overco them, what can you do?” The Ghost Doctor said and sighed, “Looking at the people this ti, they seem to be connected to the Royal Family; we should not have gotten involved in these murky waters.”
“Father, stop it, I forbid you to die, or I swear I will kill them all!” Nianrong, unable to struggle, could only scream in anger.
At this point, the Ghost Doctor had nearly passed all his inner strength to Nianrong; he seed to age a decade in an instant, removing his hand from atop Nianrong’s head, then collapsing to the ground.
Nianrong’s inner strength surged.
With one effort, she broke the hemp rope, rushed over, and began crying as she supported her father, “Father, hold on, I will surely save you.”
“Stop wasting your strength, I have been struck by the poisonous insect, and it has already attacked my heart,” said the Ghost Doctor, pale as if a ghost, yet he mustered a breath to seriously say to Nianrong, “My daughter, if your father doesn’t make it, swear to , swear that you will not seek revenge and that you will live well.”
Nianrong hesitated, but her father’s firm grip on her hand compelled her.
Eventually, she could not resist her father’s will, and she swore not to seek revenge.
The Ghost Doctor said “good” several tis and then closed his eyes.
Nianrong burst into tears, picked up her father’s corpse, rushed out of the firewood room, and jumped onto the roof to make a quick escape.
The people from Yicui Building discovered she was fleeing, and many experts surrounded her.
But Nianrong had just received her father’s entire inner strength and was at the peak of her power.
Furthermore, she was solely focused on saving her father, with no intention of entangling in combat, rely intent on escape.
Ultimately, the people from Yicui Building failed to stop her.
When Qingqiu received the news, she slapped Jiao Bingqin across the face, “Useless!
You can’t even keep an eye on two injured people, what good are you?”
Jiao Bingqin covered her cheek, bowing her head to hide the resentnt in her eyes.
“Miss, please calm your anger.
No one could have known that Nianrong’s martial arts would suddenly surge.
It’s likely the Ghost Doctor transferred all his power to her.
Even though they’ve escaped, the Ghost Doctor is surely dood, which ans the master will have one less major concern,” said Jiao Bingqin while covering her face.
Qingqiu snorted coldly, “Idiot!
That Nianrong is the Ghost Doctor’s daughter.
Now that she has all his power, isn’t she a disaster waiting to happen?
I suppose seeing Jiang Yichun has clouded your judgnt, making you act as if you’ve never seen a man before in your life.”
At the ntion of Jiang Yichun, the fists Jiao Bingqin hid in her sleeves clenched tighter, her nails digging into her palms without her realizing.
Seeing Jiao Bingqin dared not speak, Qingqiu was quite pleased.
She smirked, “Speaking of Jiang Yichun, I nearly forgot.
Wouldn’t it be perfect to use him as bait to lure Nianrong out?”
Jiao Bingqin’s face changed, “I’m afraid that won’t work, miss.
With the Ghost Doctor dead, it’s good enough if Nianrong doesn’t hate Jiang Yichun, how would she show herself for him?”
Qingqiu slapped her again, “How dare you talk back to ?
I’ve already decided on this matter; we’ll use Jiang Yichun as bait to capture Nianrong.”
After Qingqiu finished, she went downstairs and said to the guards below, “Bring Jiang Yichun to , and prepare the torture instrunts as well—I want to interrogate him thoroughly!”
Jiao Bingqin swayed slightly.
Although Jiang Yichun had tried to take her life when it mattered, and she hated him to the bone, she didn’t want to see him tortured by Qingqiu.
If that man was to die, he should die by her hand.
Of course, she didn’t really want him dead; she wanted to conquer him, to have him grovel at her feet, begging for even a single glance from her.
The guard went to the side room, and soon ran out in a panic, “Miss, it’s bad—the Jiang Yichun is gone!”
“What?
How were you guarding him?
How could he disappear?” Qingqiu’s face turned ashen.
With Jiang Yichun missing, how was she to explain to their lord?
“Please, miss, calm your anger.
The room was sealed and we were always guarding the door.
How could he vanish into thin air?” the guard said, annoyed.
Qingqiu’s eyebrows furrowed, “Could it be that Nianrong had secretly released Jiang Yichun earlier, then made a conspicuous escape to divert our attention, allowing Jiang Yichun a chance to flee?”
Jiao Bingqin’s eyes flashed with jealousy.
If that was the case, Jiang Yichun should be grateful to Nianrong for her help, right?
Wouldn’t that cheapen that woman?
However, Jiao Bingqin’s eyes soon revealed a smugness.
So what if Nianrong benefited, as long as Bai Ruozhu was displeased, that was all that mattered.
After all, that Nianrong was much easier to deal with than Bai Ruozhu.
Qingqiu didn’t imdiately punish her subordinates; instead, she ordered a search throughout the city.
As long as Jiang Yichun hadn’t left the city, they had ways to capture him.
anwhile, Bai Ruozhu and her group had already infiltrated Yicui Building.
To their surprise, the guards were far fewer than they had anticipated.
If not for the Shadow Guard reporting back to them, Bai Ruozhu would have thought it was a trap.
