Chapter 16: Cross-dressing (1/2)

When she opened her eyes again, Mo Bai came into view first.

“Mo Bai?” Gu Qingyu realised she was lying on a bed, she wanted to sit up but Mo Bai pushed her back down.

“Miss Gu, you were chosen by the Lifeblood Jewel of Destiny. Your body would need some time to adjust, it may get a little rough. ” Mo Bai smiled. “It is best to rest and not overexert yourself for the next few days.”

“Oh...I’ll be fine.” Gu Qingyu sat up. Beside her was Jia Qizhe, Qi Yichen, and Xiao Qi. And right next to her pillow was the Lifeblood Jewel of Destiny. Mo Bai is a doctor after all, so it is normal to wake up to his face, but…

“Why did I faint just now?” Gu Qingyu’s first reaction was to ask this.

A black-robed man walked in, “You have accepted the Lifeblood Jewel of Destiny, and its power entered your body. Of course you would pass out.”

Gu Qingyu recoiled the moment she saw the old man, she had not forgotten that he called it ‘a rock’!

“Relax, this old man won’t hurt you.” The black-robed man waved his sleeve. “Tomorrow morning, you all should look for a man named Murong Ranyue.”

“Eh?” Gu Qingyu got interested. “Murong? Isn’t that the name of the royals?”

“Indeed.” The black-robed man nodded.

“Why do we need to find him?” Gu Qingyu tilted her head.

“He has a particular medicine that can conceal the scent of the Lifeblood Jewel of Destiny. Specifically, he is a doctor.” The black-robed man explained.

Doctor? Gu Qingyu looked at Mo Bai. “Don’t we have Mo Bai? Mo Bai is a doctor himself!”
