"But the Ghost Doctor is already dead."
Li Chongbai’s expression hardened, his face stern.
"She is not the Ghost Doctor."
Nan Yu froze on the spot, her eyes wide with surprise as she looked at Li Chongbai, emotions she could not name swirling within her gaze.
"Uncle Li, how did you know the Ghost Doctor is dead? Have you seen the Ghost Doctor?"
Li Chongbai sighed, "I had met him twice, few people knew when he passed away, and his funeral was secretly held according to his last wishes."
"So many people still think the Ghost Doctor is alive, but in fact, he had already passed away long ago."
Nan Yu bowed her head, a flicker of tears in her eyes. She closed her eyes, suppressing all her emotions, her voice hoarse yet extraordinarily resolute.
"No, the Ghost Doctor is still alive."
The one who died was her master, but the Ghost Doctor has always been alive and will never die.
For the first time, Li Chongbai felt that Nan Yu was being obstinate and wanted to explain further.
However, Chi Ying next to him gave him a look, signaling him not to speak anymore.
She consoled, "Xiao Yu, if you want to see that Ghost Doctor, then go see him the night after tomorrow. Don’t listen to Old Li’s nonsense; with such incredible medical skills, the Ghost Doctor must still be alive."
After some deep thought, Li Chongbai spoke, "Xiao Yu, the night after tomorrow, I will introduce you to this vice president."
Nan Yu nodded, securing the invitation, "Alright."
Once Li Chongbai had left, Nan Yu did not stay long at the old house either. She said to Chi Ying, "Nanny, I will head back now and come to keep you company another day."
Chi Ying did not stop her, "Alright."
Just an hour after Nan Yu left, Huo Juanyan arrived.
Chi Ying, seeing him, couldn’t help but say, "You’re late, your wife just left an hour ago. If you go home now, you can still catch her."
Huo Juanyan, sitting in his wheelchair, glanced irritably and coldly said, "Nanny, I’m not here for her."
Chi Ying looked at him, "Then what are you here for?"
Huo Juanyan replied solemnly, "I remember today is the day Uncle Li came to check up on your health, I am looking for him."
Chi Ying glanced at him, "What do you need him for?"
Huo Juanyan said, "I heard that the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association has a new vice president arriving from abroad the day after tomorrow. There will be a welcome banquet open only to association members or those with special invitations. I would like Uncle Li to get me an invitation; I wish to meet the vice president."
Chi Ying couldn’t help but laugh, "Then you should go home and talk to your wife. Let her take you as a family member. Old Li’s only invitation went to your wife."
Huo Juanyan frowned, "How did she get it?"
Chi Ying, smiling broadly, said, "She also wants to meet the Ghost Doctor, so Old Li gave her the invitation."
Huo Juanyan’s dark eyes flashed with a chill, his face growing stern.
Chi Ying continued, "Juanyan, I increasingly feel that you two are made for each other. Even the person you want to meet is the same. This is a huge fate!"
Huo Juanyan couldn’t bear it anymore, his resentment towards Nan Qingqing growing.
"Nanny, I’m leaving now."
Chi Ying smiled as she watched him leave and then immediately turned to Xu Qi, "Quickly, call Qi Ming and tell them Juanyan will be home soon. Make sure everything is ready."
On the other side.
Back at her home, Nan Yu noticed an additional vase in the living room, featuring a bunch of freshly picked violets.
She stopped in her tracks, "Nanny Wang, these violets are?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Wang quickly explained, "These violets are the young master’s favorite flowers. The violets in the backyard bloomed today, so I immediately picked a few. He will be very happy to see them when he gets back."
