When Gao Rong heard this, he respectfully pushed open the door and brought Mo Zhu to a wooden bed in the room.
Mo Zhu looked up and saw an old man who looked over in his fifties lying on the small bed in front of her.
The old man’s face was pale, and his lips were slightly swollen, as if he didn’t have much time left.
He raised his hand and signaled Gao Rong to leave. The old man coughed twice and said to Mo Zhu, “I’m not feeling well and can’t pick Ms. Mo up personally. Please forgive me.”
After settling Mo Zhu on the chair by the bed, Gao Rong gently left the room and closed the door.
After Gao Rong left, Mo Zhu glanced at Gao Qing, who was weak on the bed, and said indifferently, “I’m afraid you don’t have many days left with this body of yours.”
When Gao Qing heard this, he smiled lightly and propped himself up with his elbows. “About a month.”
After saying this, seeing that Mo Zhu was still as indifferent as ever, he cleared his throat and asked, “Has Brother Guo been well recently?”
Mo Zhu looked up at Gao Qing. “I don’t know.”
Gao Qing sighed, and his tone revealed a hint of helplessness. “So many years have passed. I wonder how Brother Guo is living now. His medical skills are so amazing, I believe his life must be very good too. Brother Guo has saved countless people in most of his life. If not for that incident that happened coincidentally, his reputation would have already spread far and wide.”
Mo Zhu ignored the old man. She turned her gaze to a small wooden box on the bedside table. She lowered her eyes and continued, “Brother Guo is such a stubborn person. I still remember the words he left for me when he left. He said that he had shouldered a lot and endured a lot because of his excellent medical skills. If he had a next life, he would never walk the path of learning medicine again.”
After a pause, Gao Qing seemed to have recalled something and smiled lightly. “Speaking of which, I haven’t seen Brother Guo for many years. He seemed to be hiding from us on purpose. No matter how many people I sent to ask around, we couldn’t find any news about him. It was only when that child, Rong’er, was organizing an auction two days ago that I thought that I might be able to use the Soul Returning Herb to lure the expert who knows about Brother Guo.”
“Fortunately, I succeeded in waiting for it. It was planted by Brother Guo personally, and he had also personally destroyed all the Soul Returning Herbs in this world. The last two stalks, other than the one he kept for himself, Brother Guo left the last one for me.”
After saying this, Gao Qing suddenly coughed violently. Seeing this, Mo Zhu picked up the water from the table and handed it to him. Gao Qing took it and hurriedly drank two mouthfuls before looking at Mo Zhu and continuing, “Although I know that this world has disappointed Brother Guo, the Soul Returning Herb is the greatest achievement of his life. Even if Brother Guo doesn’t use it to save others in the future, I want to return this spirit herb to him as a memory.”
Mo Zhu raised her eyebrows and said indifferently, “So you arranged for Gao Rong to auction the Soul Returning Herb?”
Nodding lightly, Gao Qing lowered his head and took a sip of water. “Yes, I was thinking that even if Brother Guo didn’t come to the auction, at least the various families in the capital would send people. Maybe I would be lucky enough to meet Brother Guo’s old friends.”
After a pause, Gao Qing frowned slightly and looked at Mo Zhu. “How did Ms. Mo and Brother Guo meet?”
Mo Zhu looked at him indifferently and lowered her eyes to think before saying, “I’m his disciple.”
When Gao Qing heard this, he smiled and said, “I knew that Brother Guo definitely wouldn’t give up easily. Since he took you as his disciple, he must have taught you everything he had learned in his life!”
