Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Xiao Jingran Wakes up

[System, don’t worry, don’t be jealous. You are still my number one lackey.] Xiao Qingya said in the words she thought would comfort her system.

The System: ...

The System was dumbfounded. It wanted to refute, but it couldn’t find any words of rebuttal at all.

Xiao Qingya’s thoughts were so random. She suddenly mentioned this lackey thing. The System just thought that she might have been tired from studying under Mo Chen.

After she took in the two ghosts, she requested Mo Chen to teach her, obediently calling him Master that all the people were dumbstruck.

"Teacher!" Xiao Qingya called out with a bright smile. "Master!"

She was so flexible!

With her baby bottle in her hand, she even offered it to Mo Chen. There was no tea around, so she decided to give him her milk instead.

Mo Chen was under a lot of pressure from her expectant gaze.

Physician Bai had run outside, and even with a wall separating them, he could still hear the old man’s boisterous laughter.

There was also another person who witnessed it with a pair of gloating eyes. Finally, it wasn’t just him who had to suffer from Xiao Qingya’s baby bottle.

The little devil finally gave it to someone else too!

Mo Chen cleared his throat and expressionlessly told Xiao Qingya in a gentle tone. "I am not such an old-fashioned person like Physician Bai. It’s fine if you don’t offer me tea or any drink."

Then, his lips pulled up into a thin smile. Now that they were officially master and disciple, his nickname for Xiao Qingya was perfectly justified. He wouldn’t receive indignant looks from her siblings anymore, right?

From the moment he saw Xiao Qingya, he knew that her talent for the taoist path was the highest he had ever seen.

It was a pity she was born a girl, but... if she could show a powerful talent, she might be able to be his successor.

"Ohh," Xiao Qingya let out a disappointed sigh, and then turned to Xiao Fenghao. The latter was taken aback, and he hurriedly looked away, fearing he would be her target next.

He slowly slipped away.

Mo Chen gave Xiao Qingya another set of gifts, a pack of talismans with many uses against ghosts.

After that, the little one was so enthusiastic about learning that she immediately dragged Mo Chen to teach her. He couldn’t help but indulge this new disciple of his.

The medicine boys watched the scene with dumbstruck eyes. Mo Chen was usually such an aloof man. What had happened these past few days really subverted their understanding of him.

This warm and kind look was truly so strange when it appeared on his face.

That night, Mo Chen removed the bond between Ling Yu and Xiao Jingran, shifting it to Xiao Qingya.

If it were someone else who had been disturbed by Ling Yu, they would have probably suffered more than Xiao Jingran, plagued by constant bad luck or even lost their lives.

He was a physician who followed Physician Bai. As such, he had accumulated some merits from saving common people, which gave him more immunity against ghosts’ resentful aura and yin energy compared to ordinary people.

This merit also helped Ling Yu to stay sane and didn’t immediately descend into a resentful ghost.

The next morning, Xiao Jingran slowly woke up.

"Jing’er!" Zhou Anran was full of joy. She immediately took quick steps and arrived beside him in a flash. "Do you feel hurt anywhere?"

Her loud voice also attracted others, and Xiao Yuyan went inside carrying a cup of water. Zhou Anran took the cup and offered it to Xiao Jingran who immediately drank the water, still slightly dazed.

He seemed to have experienced a long dream.

Sometimes, he would relive the days when their father was still around, living peacefully as one family. Other times, he seemed to experience someone else’s life, living a life full of hardship.

"Mother?" Soon, Xiao Jingran snapped to his senses, realizing that the people around him were his family members.

A sudden wave of dizziness hit him, and he squeezed his eyes shut, clutching his head and let out a soft hiss.

Physician Bai took his disciple’s pulse, and then, nodded in relief. Xiao Jingran was recovering quite well, and it was also thanks to his martial art skill which gave him a healthier body.

His disciple still possessed a decent martial art skill although it couldn’t be compared to his medical skill.

"You just need to rest a lot and take more nourishment to recover your energy." Physician Bai advised his disciple.

Xiao Jingran nodded, and then asked in puzzlement. "Master... what happened to me?"

"It’s a long story, take a rest and eat something first." Physician Bai motioned for the medicine boys to help Xiao Jingran into a sitting position.

Xiao Yuxi entered the door with a warm congee, and they let Xiao Jingran eat his fill first.

Xiao Jingran resisted his curiosity as he tried to finish his meal. Because he had been unconscious, Physician Bai had given him medicinal broth to nourish his body so that he could survive.

After a while, his dizziness faded a lot, and he also calmed down.

Seeing his composed look, Zhou Anran finally decided to tell him the truth. Once she finished, Xiao Jingran was full of disbelief.

Because the story of the ghost named Ling Yu was quite similar to the foreign memories in his dream. He couldn’t believe it was someone else’s life...

"Mr. Mo has solved the ghost?" He muttered with a conflicted feeling.

Soon, Xiao Qingya also entered the room. Her eyes lit up when she saw her elegant eldest brother. She hadn’t seen him for a while!

The Ling siblings stood on each of Xiao Qingya’s sides, guarding her. During the night, while their Little Master was sleeping, Mo Chen had pulled them to find evil spirits they needed to fight to improve their power.

Currently, they looked rather disheveled even for ghosts, and also a bit listless.

Xiao Jingran smiled softly when he noticed his youngest sister. However, he soon frowned when he noticed a familiar yet unfamiliar face. He pointed at the Ling siblings and asked. "Who are they...?"
