Chapter 4904: Seeking Treatment
“Ghost Doctor, please wait.” The man in white spoke, his voice gentle yet enigmatic.
Feng Jiu, who had just passed by, heard his words. Her eyebrows arched, her steps halted, and she turned slightly to face the man in white. “Do you know who I am?”
Since ascending to the throne, few had actually seen her. Those who had knew her only as the newly enthroned Empress Phoenix Sovereign, rarely referring to her by the title Ghost Doctor.
“I wonder if we may speak privately?” The man’s gaze shifted toward Feng Jiu’s voice. His eyes were strikingly beautiful, yet they seemed too clear and pure, like glass, lacking any focal point.
Feng Jiu glanced at his eyes and knew immediately that he suffered from an ailment.
“Yes.”
Hearing her calm reply, the man smiled faintly, a hint of joy flickering in his expression. He gestured toward Feng Jiu and said, “A private room upstairs has been prepared. Please.”
Thus, guided by the innkeeper, Feng Jiu ascended to a private room on the third floor. The innkeeper personally delivered tea and pastries before waiting outside the door, awaiting instructions from within.
After taking a seat, the man spoke slowly, “I am Yuan Jing. This inn is owned by my Yuan family. Due to an unexpected encounter not long ago, I had the honor of meeting the Holy Emperor. From him, I learned of the Ghost Doctor’s name. Since birth, Yuan Jing has suffered from an eye ailment, never having seen the world’s vibrant colors. His Majesty once mentioned to me that…”that the Ghost Doctor possessed miraculous medical skills. If the Ghost Doctor were to treat him, perhaps Yuan Jing could see the colors of this world in his lifetime. Therefore, upon learning that the Ghost Doctor had appeared at an inn in the city, Yuan Jing took the liberty of coming to disturb you.”
Hearing this, Feng Jiu glanced at him and asked, “The Holy Emperor? Who are you referring to?” She toyed with the teacup before her, thinking to herself that the Holy Emperor Yuan Jing spoke of was likely Mo Chen. Thus, she sought to confirm it.
“The Holy Emperor’s full name is Nalan Mo Chen,” Yuan Jing replied.
Hearing this, Feng Jiu tapped the tabletop lightly. She curved her lips, gazing at the man before her, her voice gentle yet tinged with nonchalance. So you’ve come seeking medical treatment? Did he not inform you that securing my assistance is no simple matter?”
Yuan Jing paused briefly before replying, “Yuan Jing is aware. I originally intended to pay a personal visit to request treatment, but I hadn’t anticipated the Phoenix Sovereign appearing here, so…”
He paused again before continuing, “I know the Phoenix Sovereign is a peerless Ghost Doctor, a great Sovereign of this realm. The Ghost Doctor lacks nothing. Yet, if it is possible, Yuan Jing still wishes to request the Ghost Doctor examine whether there is any chance of healing his eyes. If the Ghost Doctor can restore Yuan Jing’s sight, whatever conditions the Ghost Doctor demands, Yuan Jing is willing to fulfill them.”
Hearing this, Feng Jiu smiled. “Don’t speak so definitively.”
“Every word Yuan Jing speaks is true,” he declared earnestly.
Seeing this, Feng Jiu smiled again, saying nothing but staring intently into his eyes, lost in thought. After a long moment, she finally said, “Extend your hand.”
Yuan Jing’s face lit up with joy, while the elderly man beside him grew even more excited, urgently prompting, “Young Master, your hand! “He swiftly lifted his young master’s hand onto the table, rolled up his sleeve, and watched Feng Jiu intently, too nervous to speak.
Feng Jiu placed her hand on his wrist and began her diagnosis in silence. After a moment, she examined his eyes.
Yuan Jing felt a pair of hands probing his eyes. Instantly, his heart leapt into his throat…
