Removing the veil revealed a delicate and beautiful young woman.
At this moment, the girl's pretty face was extremely unsightly. Not to mention how torturous the commotion last night was for an unmarried girl, the fact that she had been unable to move for at least seven or eight hours since then was an inhumane treatment.
"The Ninth Miss of the Murong family, young master?"
Hongxiao looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with some worry. It was said that this Miss Murong Jiu was extremely favored and had a very high opinion of herself.
If the two families become enemies due to this treatment, it will be a loss for both sides.
"Murong Jiu?"
Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes lit up, not because he had designs on Murong Jiu, but because Murong Jiu was extremely suitable for inheriting the Ghost Doctor's legacy.
Moreover, she is ruthless and vicious, and with the fossil-making divine skill she cultivates, this woman is definitely not a good person.
"Let her rest first, I'll talk to her tonight."
Also, send someone to inform Murong Zhengde that Miss Jiu is a guest at my place.
"Yes, son!"
A gentle breeze released Murong Jiu's pressure points, and her stiff limbs instantly fell into Hongxiao's arms.
"Don't move!"
Don't worry, the thing I'm talking to you about tonight is something good.
"I have a predecessor who went to sea, leaving behind medical classics that no one to inherit. You, girl, are both ruthless and vicious, making you extremely suitable to carry on his legacy as a ghost doctor."
Chapter 143 The Consequences of Being Unruly and Willful: Willing to Become a Slave
"Outrageous! This girl is getting more and more outrageous!"
Upon receiving the message from the Zhang family, Murong Zhengde immediately understood why Murong Jiu had suddenly disappeared last night.
Who would have thought that Murong Jiu would go to such lengths to steal treasure from the Zhang family?
Where is the Zhang family? A den of dragons and tigers.
Let alone a little girl like her, how many heroes and powerful figures in the martial arts world would dare to make a move against her?
It's not that they are truly virtuous gentlemen, but rather that no one dares to.
The strength of those three bronze-armored warriors was something even those ancient monsters who had not yet been born would be wary of.
With the Zhang family's deep-rooted influence, no one dared to directly challenge the seemingly easygoing Young Master Zhang; no one could afford to offend him.
"Dad, what should we do now?"
The eight daughters and eight sons-in-law also looked rather grim. No matter how you looked at it, they were in the wrong, and the Zhang family was not one to be trifled with.
"It's alright. Since Young Master Zhang said he was a guest, we won't make things difficult for that girl."
However, once she returned home, she was confined to her quarters until she got married.
Young Master Zhang's magnanimity stems from the friendship between our two families. This girl, however, is utterly ignorant and has no idea how formidable the Zhang family can be.
"That's good!"
Hearing that the Zhang family wouldn't pursue the matter, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Facing the Zhang family, the Murong family had no confidence whatsoever, especially since they were in the wrong and could very well become the target of making an example of them.
When Murong Zhengde arrived at the new mansion, he hadn't looked around carefully, even though he had been there once before.
It was only then that I realized how luxurious, exquisite, and ingenious the Zexin Mansion was.
The space, though seemingly small, was actually quite spacious with only a few maids.
Murong Jiu was lying on the sofa in the hall, looking utterly hopeless.
Originally, after regaining her martial arts skills, Murong Jiu wanted to subdue Hongxiao and Jiangxue to coerce them, but she did not expect that their martial arts skills were far superior to hers.
Especially after learning the "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" technique, Murong Jiu had no power to fight back at all and was severely injured by her own ruthless move.
Fighting himself? In the end, Murong Jiunian still didn't understand what was going on.
On the contrary, Hongxiao was so ruthless that she didn't even send Murong Jiu to a guest room, leaving him in the lobby and ignoring him completely.
"Jiu'er!"
Seeing Murong Jiu's appearance, even the furious Murong Zhengde felt worried.
"This is not my fault. She tried to attack Hongxiao, but ended up hitting herself instead."
"Then you deserve it!"
After hearing Hongxiao's explanation, Zhang Xiaoshan understood the reason.
This girl was dishonest and even tried to lay a hand on his maid. It seems she went all out, and in the end, she suffered the consequences herself.
Murong Zhengde also heard this, and was surprised to find that Murong Jiu's strength was not even as good as that of a maid.
"In that case, sir, you should take this girl back with you."
Originally, the old man was called over because Miss Murong Jiu was skilled in both medicine and poison, and they wanted her to inherit the mantle of the Ghost Doctor. But since her intentions are not pure, it's best to forget about it.
"I see. Then thank you for your forgiveness, Young Master Zhang."
Murong Zhengde also knew that Jiu Yatou had angered Zhang Xiaoshan this time, and had missed an opportunity.
Who is the Ghost Doctor?
Zhang Xiaoshan even gave the other party the Dragon-Subduing Wood, which shows his trust in him and his recognition of his abilities.
Unfortunately, this girl was willful and capricious, which completely angered the other party.
However, Murong Jiu seemed to suddenly regain her spirit, her energy and vitality restored. She turned to Zhang Xiaoshan and said:
"The Ghost Doctor? Could it be Tang Tiancheng, the Ghost Doctor who was once famous throughout the land?"
Tang Tiancheng?
Zhang Xiaoshan was also surprised, because he didn't know the Ghost Doctor's real name either. He didn't expect that a little girl would know the Ghost Doctor's name.
It's likely that even Murong Zhengde had never heard of the Ghost Doctor's name more than a few times.
"I don't know the Ghost Doctor's name either, but it should be."
Even Master Zhang, after reading the scriptures left by the Ghost Doctor, said that his mastery of the Ghost Doctor's art had reached the grandmaster level, a pinnacle of skill across the Nine Provinces, and that there were few like him in the world.
Hearing that even Zhang Sanfeng had affirmed the Ghost Doctor's Way, Murong Zhengde felt even more regretful.
This is a true master's inheritance, far more profound and exquisite than so-called martial arts.
After all, the inheritance of martial arts depends on aptitude, and there are countless martial arts masters in the martial arts world.
However, the art of medicine requires a vast theoretical foundation.
Throughout the entire medical world, there are many skilled doctors, but very few who truly dare to call themselves masters of medicine.
Not to mention the medical texts he left behind.
That is the true essence of theory, without any falsehood whatsoever.
"I want!"
"and!"
Zhang Xiaoshan smiled dismissively and turned to leave with Hongxiao.
Murong Jiu was showered with love and affection, and could never have anything he wanted since childhood. Knowing that he was only one step away from the real treasure, he ultimately pushed it away himself.
As for the Murong family's face, he gives the Murong family face, and only then will the Murong family have face.
"You, it was wrong of you to steal the treasure in the first place, and Young Master Zhang was so generous that he was even going to give you a chance, but you... sigh!"
This is not Zhang Xiaoshan's fault; originally, they were planning to find a successor for the Ghost Doctor.
But Murong Jiu was still restless after being captured, and even tried to lay a hand on someone else's maid. It can only be said that this was his fate.
"But... he's bullying people!"
"Bullying?"
"He was the one bullying me in the study... Waaaaah..."
Zhang Xiaoshan, who was sharp-witted and perceptive, immediately changed his expression. He hadn't expected Murong Jiu to act so unpredictably, even willing to sacrifice her reputation for her goals.
"Miss Murong, let me emphasize again, the Zhang family is not something that can be slandered by anyone."
Don't think that the Murong family has much influence in the martial arts world. At most, they are only considered a first-rate family. Even with your brother-in-law's family alliance, they are at most at the threshold of top-tier power.
The world of martial arts is vast, and there are many powerful figures in the Murong family that cannot be rivaled.
Your willful and reckless behavior will bring the Murong family to ruin sooner or later.
Putting everything else aside, just now you ambushed Hongxiao. Did you ever consider that the martial arts of one of my maids could easily defeat you? What right do you have to be so willful and arrogant in front of me?
Zhang Xiaoshan's pressure was as immense as Mount Tai, leaving Murong Jiu stunned on the spot.
Even Murong Zhengde's anger, which was about to erupt, completely subsided.
If he were calm, he would naturally be able to see through Murong Jiu's tricks, but since his most beloved daughter had been bullied, it was impossible for him to remain calm.
"Besides, has Ninth Miss ever considered the consequences of a joke?"
Senior Murong is challenging me to a life-or-death struggle. Do you really think your father can avenge you?
Then I can only tell you that with the next flick of my finger, I can end your father's life.
"If it weren't for the good relations between our two families and the prestige of Elder Murong in the martial world, your words just now would have pushed the Murong family into an endless abyss, bringing about their annihilation."
As he spoke, he unleashed a burst of energy, catching Murong Zhengde completely off guard, before his hair was already in disarray.
The power of a single finger can reach three zhang away!
Such a huge difference startled not only the willful and unruly Murong Jiu, but even Murong Zhengde.
With a swift and sharp finger strike, as fast as lightning, Murong Zhengde realized that Zhang Xiaoshan's words were true.
The Zhang family could destroy the Murong family with the mere lifting of a palm.
Moreover, even a personal maid's martial arts skills are enough to instantly kill Murong Jiu, so would Zhang Xiaoshan bully Murong Jiu?
Moreover, if Murong Jiu were really bullied, Murong Zhengde would also come over; how could he not see through it?
“…You…sigh!”
You can't hit them, you can't scold them!
Murong Zhengde was not only disappointed in his own shortcomings, but also shocked by Zhang Xiaoshan's words.
Zhang Xiaoshan only pointed a finger as a warning because the two families are on good terms. What about other people?
With such a willful and capricious personality, if he offends someone he shouldn't, the Murong family, just as Zhang Xiaoshan said, will likely be implicated, including his eight sons-in-law.
"father!"
In an instant, Murong Jiu realized just how big a mess she had made.
They also realized how ridiculous it was to think that their martial arts skills were the best in the world and that they had few rivals.
The fact that a mere maid could easily defeat her shows that she is nothing but a joke in the face of a true master.
"Young Master Zhang, it's all Murong Jiu'er's fault."
Murong Jiu used to be arrogant and difficult, ignorant of his own limitations, and narrow-minded.
Today, thanks to the young master's magnanimity, Jiu'er has come to realize the vastness of the world and understands that she almost brought a terrible disaster upon the Murong family.
(Qian Lihao) Jiu'er is willing to be a slave or maid, not only for the sake of the young master's great virtue, but also for the sake of higher martial arts and the inheritance of the Ghost Doctor, to step into a broader realm.
Murong Jiu prostrated himself on the ground, his expression solemn.
Was Murong Jiu being sincere or scheming at this moment? Zhang Xiaoshan was also somewhat doubtful.
But undoubtedly, seeing Murong Jiu in this state, Murong Zhengde's face was ashen, so Zhang Xiaoshan could only say:
"Ninth Miss, you should go back and calm down, and think about this carefully before making a decision."
If you still insist three days later and can persuade Patriarch Murong, I naturally will not refuse.
Murong Zhengde quickly helped Murong Jiu up; how could he possibly agree to this?
If word gets out that the ninth daughter of the Murong family has become a servant of the Zhang family, wouldn't Murong Zhengde lose face? The entire Murong family would become a laughingstock in the martial arts world.
