Chapter 171 Uncle Ling! (2/2)

”Teacher Ling, it's been a long time and I did not expect to be able to see you here. I am greatly honoured.” Chief Ke had quickly stepped forward and clasped his palm over his fist with a bow, to offer his greeting with a smile.

Hearing that, Feng Jiu could not hold back her laughter. If Chief Ke had only known that the thief who appropriated those highly prized miracle medicine of his was this bearded uncle before his eyes, he wouldn't be feeling that ”honoured” at this moment.

”I see it's Chief Ke.” Ling Mo Han stood up to return the greeting by clasping his hand over his fist, his gaze then swinging over to Feng Jiu and he asked: ”And this is…?”

”Haha. He is the Medical Cultivator our black market has invited to partic.i.p.ate in this year's Miracle Medicine Grand Meet. This….. Erm, he's called the Ghost Doctor.” Chief Ke said sheepishly, as he did not know what the Ghost Doctor's name was at all and he was suddenly at a loss how he was supposed to make the introduction.

”Uncle Ling.”

Feng Jiu called out that form of address in a crisp voice, her gaze brilliantly filled with a bright sparkle, a crafty glint in them, the corners of her mouth holding back a rather infuriating smile, her demeanor like they were on familiar terms as she said: ”If Uncle Ling feels that Ghost Doctor is too much of a mouthful to say, then just call me Ghostly and it will be fine.”

Hearing her call him Uncle Ling, Ling Mo Han unconsciously stroked at the beard under his chin as he stared thoughtfully at the red clothed Young Master before his eyes, the expression on his face filled with bewilderment and confusion.

”Uncle?”

He had kept his beard for a long time but no one had ever addressed him in that manner. But for the tricky little la.s.s he had met back in the Nine Entrapment Woods, she had kept on addressing him as Uncle everytime she opened her mouth then and now this red clothed Young Master was doing the same thing. Could it be that he really looked that old?

Feng Jiu's gaze narrowed and she split her mouth into a smile: ”That's right! I am only fifteen this year. I heard that Uncle is already at a grand old twenty five! That is a whole decade older than I am. What else should I call you but Uncle?”

”Fif….. Fifteen?” Chief Ke standing beside Feng Jiu suddenly stared with his eyes bulging wide, his face in complete shock.
