Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 4982: Travel

Huangfu Yunxue listened to her soft voice and couldn’t help asking, “After My lady leaves, will she ever come back? Yunxue, will I ever see My lady again?”

Feng Jiu smiled, casually plucking a flower to play with in her hand. Turning to face the strikingly beautiful young girl, she said with a smile, “Whether she’ll return, I cannot say. But you and I share a certain karmic connection. Perhaps we shall meet again someday.”

She walked slowly forward, pinning the flower she’d been holding to Yunxue’s hair. Seeing the delicate blossom nestled in the simple-dressed girl’s hair, she instantly looked even more radiant and captivating.

She smiled. “If we should meet again in the future, I shall grant you an opportunity.”

Huangfu Yunxue paused, her hand gently brushing the blossom. She looked at My lady before her—her expression serene, yet a faint smile playing at her lips—and her own lips parted, though no words came.

“I’ll be going now. Just inform your father and the others later,” Feng Jiu said softly, her steps already carrying her toward the exit.

Seeing this, Huangfu Yunxue hurried after her. “Yunxue will see you out, My lady.” She walked alongside her, accompanying her all the way to the gates of the Huangfu residence. Only when the woman’s figure vanished from sight did she turn toward the main courtyard.

She wanted to know—who exactly was this My lady?

In the main courtyard, upon seeing Yunxue enter, the Old Patriarch and Huangfu Xiao exchanged glances and asked in unison, “Did My lady Xuanyuan have any instructions?”

“No,” Yunxue shook her head and stepped forward. “Grandfather, Father, Lady Xuanyuan has left.”

“Left…” The Old Patriarch murmured softly, his voice tinged with a hint of sigh.

Huangfu Xiao remained silent. She had said she would leave today, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly. Recalling the news he’d received earlier from the servants below, his heart was filled with a thousand emotions.

Everything had unfolded exactly as she had foreseen. All was calm once more, as if the Huangfu family had never drawn the attention of powerful figures due to that thousand-year-old Wu Ling Ginseng.

She had departed after completing her task, leaving behind a shock they would never forget.

“Grandfather, Father.” Huangfu Yunxue knelt, her gaze fixed on them.

“What are you doing?” Huangfu Xiao inquired.

“Please tell Yunxue, Grandfather and Father, who exactly is this Lady Xuanyuan?” She looked at them and said, “Because of her, Yunxue has gained sudden enlightenment. To have received such a blessing without knowing the identity of the benefactor… my heart cannot rest easy.”

Hearing this, the old patriarch sighed softly and said, “What good would knowing do?” Such a supreme and exalted benefactor—our Huangfu family is fortunate merely to have laid eyes upon her.”

“Please tell Yunxue, Grandfather.” She bowed her head to him.

The old man looked at her, paused to consider, then said, “She is the Phoenix Sovereign.” He added, “You alone must know this. Do not speak of it to others.”

Huangfu Yunxue’s heart jolted. She had surmised that My lady’s status must be exceedingly noble, but never imagined it would be such a supremely exalted being…

Empress Phoenix Sovereign!

Even though she rarely left Blazing Sun City, she had heard many tales about this Empress Phoenix Sovereign. Never did she expect to have the fortune of serving by her side for these past few days.

Recalling the Empress’s words, a thought surfaced in her mind. Without hesitation, she spoke: “Grandfather, Father, I wish to travel.”

“Why do you wish to travel?” Huangfu Xiao asked, his brow slightly furrowed.
