Lady Su's Revenge Chapter 463

Chapter 463 Seeking Medical Advice by Duan Family
Su Li raised her eyebrows and moved on as guided by Black Lotus.

Black Lotus sighed faintly and grumbled to himself, “Dear Black Lotus, why are you so cowardly? Shame on you as an ancient precious treasure.”

About three hundred meters away, Su Li saw a courtyard wall in front of her and a plaque “Duan Mansion” hanging in the middle of the wall as she raised her head. She couldn't help but lose herself in thought.

“Unexpectedly, the entrance to the ancestral land of the Ghost Clan lies in a private residence nowadays. This group of ghost practitioners of your Human Clan has failed to recognize a valuable treasure.”

Black Lotus was amazed and said aloud, “Back then, however, the royal family of the Ghost Clan was surnamed Duan. And this place is called Duan Mansion as well. What a coincidence!”

The Ghost Clan had already been extinct. Even if there were orphans left in the past, they all had been killed by the Human Clan. This Duan Mansion dared to live among the ghost practitioners of the Human Clan, which indicated that they could never be from the Ghost Clan. In addition, he did not smell any pneuma of the Ghost Clan, so he said it was a coincidence.

Su Li did not make a sound. When she walked to the gate and saw an announcement of seeking medical help, she smiled suddenly.

She was worried that there was no suitable reason to sneak in and the announcement was a timely help.

It would be quite noisy to open the ancestral land of the Ghost Clan. Even Black Lotus would help her suppress the noise within some range, but practitioners at least in this city could sense the activity.

Since both she and Black Lotus were going to enter the ancestral land, it was a clever idea to make Duan's people guarded the cave entrance.

“Tsk, little Su Li, we are just in another region, but why have you become so principled? It's not like you. In my opinion, we don't need any excuses. We just need to control the old ancestor of the Duan Family directly and let him to guard the entrance.”

Black Lotus wagged his head and spoke. Because he was used to seeing that Su Li acted ruthlessly and unforgivingly, he was entirely unused to Su Li's change.

Su Li glanced at him and tore down the announcement for seeking medical help.

She had enemies everywhere in Jiuzhou Region.

But there was no her enemy in the Ghost circle, even if she had memorized the name of Han Sect.

Seeing Su Li had torn down the announcement, the two disciples guarding the gate of the Duan Mansion changed their looks and one of them went back to report. Soon after, a group of people came out to welcome her.

The leader of the group was a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe. He looked emaciated, but had an excellent manner. As he saw that Su Li was very young and her bone age was not over two hundred years, he couldn't help but frown.

However, he kept his thought in his mind and still greeted Su Li with a sincere expression, “My name is Duan Rong. Since you have taken down the announcement, are you a senior in medical circle?”

Su Li remained indifferent. She did not look at any other people of the Duan Family who followed Duan Rong. She just stared at Duan Rong and asked, “Where is the patient?”

Finding her coldness and arrogance, Duan Rong trusted her a bit more. He hastily reached out his hand to show the way, and said, “The patient is my daughter. Please follow me now!”

Su Li nodded and was about to enter the gate. At that moment, she heard a shrill voice coming from inside.

“Wait!”

Su Li narrowed her eyes and stopped her steps. She saw a luxuriously dressed woman with heavy makeup coming out of the house. This woman looked beautiful but mean with thin lips. Obviously, she seemed not easy to get along with.

Seeing Su Li's young and even a little childish face, she could not help but snorted, “Brother, you are a drowning man who will clutch at a straw. This young girl is not even two hundred years old. It seems that she is just a fraud and knows nothing about healing. How stupid that you put aside important business of the family and meet her personally!”

The woman's words sounded plausible, so Duan Rong was stunned at the words. Before he hesitated, he saw that Su Li flashed and disappeared.

That was lightning-fast!

He felt appalled. When he looked up, he saw that Su Li had already seized the throat of the gaudy woman. Su Li said in a plain tone as usual, “You don't have the right to tell me how to do my business. If your Duan Family didn't have what I am looking for, you would not be able to stand here and talk to me.”

“I… Ahem…”

The gaudy woman tried to get rid of Su Li's hand, but failed to do that. Su Li's slim hand was clutching her neck firmly like an iron hoop and was not moved at all.

“How is it possible that my cultivation in Jindan Realm is suppressed?! Let me go!”

“We Duan Family is the most powerful family in Nanli City. You are a dead woman for offending me!”

The gaudy woman was furious and struggled frantically. However, Su Li's gaze remained cold, and she gripped more firmly.

As the gaudy woman felt the sense of suffocation became clearer and realized the death was approaching, she came to reason suddenly. She said with fear in her eyes, “Let go of me. I… won't talk nonsense anymore.”

Duan Rong regained consciousness with a jolt as he saw his sister was almost choked by Su Li. He rushed to Su Li and pleaded for mercy,

“Fellow Practitioner, please cease to be angry. My sister always has a big mouth and is brainless. I make sure that she will be disciplined and punished later!”

Su Li glimpsed at him and found he was sincere. She loosened her hand, and let the gaudy woman fall on the ground.

“It is rarely seen that you have an excellent cultivation but a gentle temperament.”

As Su Li said, she clapped her hands and strode over the gaudy woman, “I won't bother myself about morons. Take me to see your daughter now.”

Duan Rong was overjoyed at the words and hurriedly led the way ahead. Su Li's cultivation made him feel more confident that his daughter could be healed.

“Ahem…”

The gaudy woman coughed violently for a while and calmed down until the crimson on her face faded. She glanced resentfully at the direction where Su Li left. Then she stood up and ran in the other direction of Duan Mansion.

Meanwhile, Su Li, led by Duan Rong, came to an exquisitely furnished room.

The pink gauze curtain in the room was fluttering in the wind. Su Li looked over the housemaids and saw that a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl was sleeping quietly at the bed in the inner room. A dignified woman accompanied her with a worrying face on the edge of the bed. Unexpectedly, this woman was at least at the final stage of Yuanying Realm!

“I bring a doctor, my dear.”

Duan Rong walked in.

Su Li felt it was strange that the head of the Duan Family was just at the early stage of Yuanying Realm, while his wife's cultivation was above him.

“… A doctor?”

The dignified woman was surprised. A hint of suspicion swept through her eyes as she saw Su Li.

“Yes. Don't judge Dr. Su by her young appearance. She has restrained Yarong just with one hand at the first gate just now…”

The dignified woman became a bit relaxed after hearing the explanation of her husband. It was common sense that doctors normally didn't have a great combat power. So, it was extraordinary that a doctor had the strength to casually restrain a people in Jindan Realm.

After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward and saluted Su Li, “My daughter's injury is so tricky that the doctors in Nanli City have no way to heal her. Please help her.”

“No problem. Allow me to inspect her at first.”

Su Li waved her hand and glanced at Duan Rong who looked as usual. Then, she walked to the bed, sat down, and put her finger gently on the girl's wrist to take her pulse.

The physical condition in the girl's body immediately appeared in her mind. She had learned medicine from Qi Xianqing in the Reincarnation Mirror. And her medical skill, combined with the poison skills and the memories in Qingshui Circle, had reached a higher level.

The dignified woman didn't see any difference appeared on Su Li's face, so she was slightly relaxed. Although she was suspicious of Su Li's origin, she did not dare to disturb Su Li when Su Li made a diagnosis for her daughter.

A moment later, Su Li moved away her hand and opened her eyes. Then she looked at the dignified woman and said calmly, “She practiced carelessly so that her foundation was damaged. Besides that, your daughter was always weak, so it is troublesome indeed.”

Duan Rong had been making every possible effort to save her daughter, but the hope which just rose in his heart was still disappointed as he heard Su Li's diagnosis.

Tears with pity almost flowed out of the eyes of the dignified woman as she stared at her daughter who was lying on the bed. She clutched her chest and asked apprehensively, “You came to a diagnosis several times faster than other doctors, so your medical skills must be extraordinary. Even you can't do anything?”

“There are methods indeed.”

As Su Li said slowly, the couple's eyes shone at the same time.

Seeing that, Su Li smiled faintly and turned to Duan Rong, “I will heal your daughter with a secret method. It should not be seen by male practitioners. I have to ask you to leave for a moment, Head of the Duan Family. Your wife can stay here but can't disturb me.”

“Of course!”

Duan Rong was delighted to hear that. He hastily left the room and said, “Please feel free to do what you have to do. I will watch outside the door and be ready to help whenever you need.”

“It's very kind of you.”

Once Duan Rong came out, he immediately lost the sense inside the room and frowned slightly.

Although his wife was just in Jindan Realm, she could be able to alert him if this doctor had any bad intentions.

Thinking of this, Duan Rong summoned the family guards to surround the entire house and keep any disturbances away from the house.

Su Li was not surprised as she sensed Duan Rong's arrangement.

She raised her head and stared at the dignified woman, who was embarrassed by her clear eyes and couldn't help but ask, “Why are you staring at me?”

Su Li curled her mouth slightly and asked thoughtfully, “Your husband seems to have no idea of your genuine cultivation, right?”

The dignified woman suddenly changed her expression and was about to stand in front of her daughter.

Before she could make a move, Su Li revealed a gentle smile and said, “Madam, keep calm, please. I am not your enemy. Otherwise, I just need to deliberately expose your real cultivation in front of your husband. It would be enough to make it impossible for you to stay in the Duan Family.”

The dignified woman looked serious and asked after a moment of silence, “Who are you?”

Su Li remained smiling. She did not answer the question but said in a flat tone, “As I entered the room, a special pneuma came to me. I have thought it was the pneuma in the Ghost Circle and it made me feel uncomfortable. But when I came closer to you, I realized that the pneuma originated from you and this little girl. You are from the Ghost Clan, aren't you?”

The dignified woman tried to remain calm, but she couldn't help but fear when she heard Su Li's last sentence.

She took a deep breath and reluctantly replied, “Your Excellency, you are the first one to recognize my identity. Have you… met others of Ghost Clan?”

This sentence meant she admitted her identity silently.

“Although you tried to integrate into the Human Clan, your daughter, unfortunately, inherited your bloodline. A member of the Ghost Clan cannot practice the cultivation methods of the Human Clan. This is why your daughter gets injured, right?”

The dignified woman couldn't deny the fact that Su Li said, so she just relaxed and sighed, “Everything you said is correct.”

Su Li giggled gently.

Black Lotus could not help but roll his eyes in the ring space. This was just a living girl of Ghost Clan with an impure bloodline. How could it make Su Li so excited?
