Chapter 1175: Chapter 1177: Divine Doctor Seeks Divine Doctor_1

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but perk up her ears. For some reason, she vaguely felt that the woman inquiring might have some connection with Achun.

"You’re asking about the famous Doctor Du in the city, aren’t you? He does have a daughter about eight or nine years old. Despite her young age, she’s already accompanying Doctor Du on his medical visits," the Waiter said with admiration in his eyes. "Doctor Du is a renowned physician here, he has saved many lives. He often waives the consultation fee for the poor, truly a kind soul!"

However, the woman frowned and muttered, "Eight or nine years old? That’s not right, she shouldn’t be so young."

The sickly-looking man beside her gently tugged at her sleeve and whispered in a low voice, "Cuicui, it can’t be him. If he were so conspicuous, he wouldn’t be so hard to find."

The woman nodded, "No rush, Weng An, let’s keep looking around. He’s definitely in this area."

The man didn’t speak, his face was etched with worry, and it seemed he sighed silently.

The Waiter, realizing he was mistaken, cocked his head and thought for a moment, then mentioned two other doctors, but unfortunately, they lacked any air of mystery and were not the person the woman was inquiring about.

Visibly bothered, the woman had the Waiter take a Silver Coin and go down. She also put down her chopsticks, seemingly without any appetite.

The man added some food to her plate and coaxed her gently. Only then did the woman eat a little.

When the two were about to leave, Bai Ruozhu signaled to Lü with her eyes and whispered, "Let’s follow them. Be careful not to be discovered."

Lü looked puzzled, but Jianqi, who had been with Bai Ruozhu the longest, caught on quickly and asked, "Master, do you think the person they’re looking for is likely related to our young master?"

Bai Ruozhu nodded, without time to explain further, she paid the bill and followed the two.

The two went to visit the Doctor Du mentioned by the waiter to double-check. After seeing the doctor and confirming that it was not a disguise, they then went on to the other two doctors the waiter had mentioned, who, indeed, were not the ones they were searching for.

Feeling it was about time, Bai Ruozhu gave Lü a signal with her eyes and whispered, "I’ll take Jianqi with me; you guys stay hidden for now."

Lü and the others nodded and hid in a dark place.

Bai Ruozhu, with Jianqi in tow, approached the two individuals, deliberately shortening the distance between them. Sure enough, the poisoned man became alert and suddenly turned around to shout, "Who’s there!"

Bai Ruozhu gestured to Jianqi with her eyes and then walked out brazenly.

"So it’s you," the man said, clearly having noticed Bai Ruozhu at the restaurant. "You’ve followed us from the restaurant until now, what exactly do you want?"

With a few agile moves, Bai Ruozhu used her martial arts to close in on them significantly, which made the pair’s eyes reveal a look of surprise, seemingly shocked by Bai Ruozhu’s agility.

Jianqi, fearing they might suddenly attack, hurriedly followed Bai Ruozhu.

"Nothing much, I just saw that the poison in you is quite special, and as a person with some skill, I was curious to see if you could find a doctor," Bai Ruozhu wore a gauze cap and altered her voice with medicine, now sounding completely like a young man.

Weng An and Xiu Cuicui exchanged a glance. It was Xiu Cuicui, more impetuous by nature, who asked, "How could you tell? Are you a doctor too?"

Bai Ruozhu chuckled softly, "If I weren’t a doctor, why would my hands itch? Since you can’t find the Divine Doctor, don’t you want to give me a try?"

The two fell silent, hope mixed with wariness and doubt in their eyes as they looked at Bai Ruozhu. Suddenly, someone claims they can cure Weng An’s poison—but who knew whether it was true or false? What if the poison treatment failed and it cost him his life?

Bai Ruozhu didn’t rush them, simply standing quietly. If they didn’t agree, so be it; she had other ways to find that so-called Divine Doctor.

"I know now, you are a woman!" Xiu Cuicui suddenly exclaimed, causing Bai Ruozhu’s heart to tighten. She wondered how Xiu Cuicui had figured it out.

"You must be the Ghost Doctor’s daughter, she’s around your age!" Xiu Cuicui called out excitedly, as if she had seen hope. Beside her, Weng An’s eyes also showed excitement, staring intently at Bai Ruozhu, as if trying to see something through the black gauze cap.

Bai Ruozhu’s mouth twitched, so that was it. She nearly died of fright.

"Where does this young master resemble a woman? I don’t know any Ghost Doctor. If you want treatment, then treat; if not, forget it!" Bai Ruozhu deliberately threw a temper like a young man. Jianqi, standing beside her, nearly couldn’t hold back his laughter, but fortunately, he was used to showing no emotion.

The expressions on Weng An and Xiu Cuicui’s faces both froze, with Weng An even asking in a somewhat dispirited way, "Are you really not the Divine Doctor’s daughter?"

Bai Ruozhu snorted coldly, not deigning to answer him, and turned to leave. Right then, Weng An suddenly vomited black blood with a ’wa’ sound, and his body softened, collapsing to the ground.

"Weng An, are you alright?" Xiu Cuicui cried out in alarm, helping Weng An sit down on the spot, ready to transfer her inner strength to him.

"Cuicui, no, don’t..." Weng An struggled to speak.

Bai Ruozhu stopped in her tracks and turned her head to look at Xiu Cuicui, "Don’t waste your strength. You don’t have much inner strength left. He is already on the brink of the poison overtaking his heart. No matter how much inner strength you use, it’s futile. If you’re not careful, he might just breathe his last breath right then."

Upon hearing this, Xiu Cuicui panicked, hastily withdrawing her inner strength, tears falling like broken beads.

"It’s all because of you. If you hadn’t agitated him, we could have held on for another two days, then we would surely have found the Ghost Doctor!" Xiu Cuicui said through her tears.

Bai Ruozhu sighed, her figure moved swiftly to Weng An’s side, several silver needles in hand, swiftly administering a few needles to Weng An. Soon, Weng An stopped vomiting blood, and his breath also became a bit more stable.

"Can you really cure the poison?" Xiu Cuicui asked in shock, her speech stumbling.

"Anyway, he is about to die, might as well act as a living doctor to a dying horse," Bai Ruozhu said indifferently.

"You, you..." Xiu Cuicui started to get angry again.

By then Weng An had recovered enough to speak, and he addressed Bai Ruozhu, "There’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world, name your conditions."

Bai Ruozhu laughed heartily, "You’re quite pragmatic, aren’t you? I don’t have many conditions, just tell me how you got poisoned and who this Divine Doctor you’re looking for is."

"Why?" Xiu Cuicui asked warily.

"You keep saying how great this Divine Doctor is, shouldn’t I seek him out for a challenge? Otherwise, wouldn’t my trip have been in vain?" Bai Ruozhu said.

Looking at each other, both knew that in the Wulin, it wasn’t unusual to hear of someone’s formidable Skill and then seek out a challenge. So, they no longer had any doubts about Bai Ruozhu’s words.

Having made up their minds, they both knelt before Bai Ruozhu and kowtowed, with Xiu Cuicui saying through her tears, "I beg the Divine Doctor to save my husband’s life. As long as he can survive, I, Xiu Cuicui, will obey the Divine Doctor’s orders for the rest of my life."

Bai Ruozhu chuckled softly, "Saving his life is no problem, but what if he loses all his Martial Arts?"
