Yun Qingluo immediately stood up, bowed, and respectfully addressed him, "Greetings, Junior Uncle. I apologize for any offense I may have caused you before."

The Ghost Doctor raised an eyebrow. What an interesting little girl, accepting it so quickly.

The Ghost Doctor raised his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite and should sit down quickly. Then, he asked her curiously why she didn't suspect his identity.

Yun Qingluo smiled slightly, "When I first entered the Divine Doctor Valley, although I was still young at the time, you had stayed here for a while, so I had some impression of you. Later, I saw Master drunk one time and accidentally heard a story about Master's youth. I heard that after Master became the Valley Master, you left the Divine Doctor Valley, with your ambitions to travel far and wide."

Master also said that you once said, "If I were a divine healer, you would be a ghost healer; if I were a deity, you would be a ghost deity; if I saved those in the light, you would save those in the darkness." However, later on, I rarely saw Master drunk anymore, and I rarely heard from you again. But Master always thought of you very much.

The Ghost Doctor snorted arrogantly, "I gave him the position of Valley Master because I thought he was too old. It wasn't because I was inferior to him; he's visited me many times..."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo skipped over the first half of the sentence and asked anxiously, "Junior Uncle, have you seen Master? Where is he now? Why hasn't he returned to Divine Doctor Valley? I haven't seen him for so long."

Towards the end, Yun Qingluo's tone became somewhat sad.

The old man who used to chase her with a bamboo stick and then secretly slipped pastries into her hands when the other senior students weren't looking; the old man who punished her by not letting her eat but then secretly saved food for her at night...

There are often some delicious treats from outside the valley outside her window.

Every time I ask him, he vaguely says he doesn't know, he's not sure, and it's not him.

The kind old man, while scolding her for being useless when she couldn't learn the formation no matter what, patiently explained it to her word by word.

Although she ultimately failed to learn it, she memorized the mnemonic better than anyone else in the valley.

Mo Beichen patted her hand to comfort her. Although Luo Luo never mentioned her master, he knew that she often stared blankly at the Valley Master's token and the special medicine bottle.

He knew that a teacher for a day is a father for life, and Luo Luo actually cared a lot about her teacher.

Over the past few years, he has been searching, but every time he gets a lead and goes there, he finds nothing.

Later, I received an anonymous note that read: There's no need to look for him. Take good care of Luo Luo. When the time is right, we will meet again.

The Ghost Doctor looked at Yun Qingluo, unsure how to respond.

"Your master is fine, don't worry. He's alright. When the time is right, he will naturally come to find you. Don't worry." Seeing Yun Qingluo's distressed expression, the Ghost Doctor couldn't help but comfort her.

Yun Qingluo lowered her head, composed herself, and looked up calmly at the Ghost Doctor. She said softly, "Junior Uncle, Master actually knew about my illness a long time ago, didn't he? For so many years, he kept saying he was traveling around, but in fact he was always looking for a way to cure me, right?"

My master is such a lazy person, how could he have the leisure to travel around?

He wished he could stay in the valley 365 days a year, spending his days planting herbs, tending flowers, playing with cats, scolding his junior brothers and sisters, and then getting a beauty sleep.

She should have guessed it long ago...

The Ghost Doctor covered his mouth. He hadn't said anything, so how did Yun girl guess it?

If that old geezer finds out, he'll tear this place down, wouldn't that be terrible?

Just as the Ghost Doctor was about to offer a forced explanation, he heard Yun Qingluo say, "Actually, you recognized me a long time ago, didn't you? Because my illness is so rare, I think my master went to see you when he found out. Since you also know a little bit of secret arts, you must have secretly come to see me before. But I was too young to notice, so your shock when you saw me yesterday was because you recognized me. Taking my pulse was just a pretense."

Upon hearing Yun Qingluo's well-organized analysis, the Ghost Doctor couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with deep admiration.

Unexpectedly, she observed so carefully; making her the valley master is indeed a very good choice.

"Oh, no wonder. That old man kept telling me not to visit you, saying you'd recognize me. I never believed him, but he threatened to tear my house down if I went..."

"I had no choice but to refrain from looking for you, and now it seems that not looking for you was the right thing to do," the Ghost Doctor said helplessly.

But he was unconvinced: why didn't he have such a clever apprentice?

Yun Qingluo was not amused by the Ghost Doctor's words. Instead, her voice lowered, "So, for the past few years, Master has been secretly traveling around outside, while I was so willful that I didn't even want to go back to the Valley of Divine Doctors."

Thinking of her master's tragic death in her previous life, Yun Qingluo swayed and fell backward, but Mo Beichen quickly caught her and pulled her into his arms.

"Ah Chen, it's my fault, I'm sorry to Master." It turns out that she was safe and sound in her previous life because her Master had been protecting her in secret.

The peaceful life you perceive is actually because someone is bearing the burden for you.

She said that, based on how things unfolded, she probably wouldn't have lived that long...

"Don't be afraid, Luo Luo. I'm here. When Master comes back, we'll bring him into the palace and send hundreds of people to serve him. We'll make him comfortable, and he can plant flowers, herbs, and vegetables whenever he wants," Mo Beichen comforted Yun Qingluo.

Yun Qingluo couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the Imperial Garden, which was filled with only vegetables and interspersed with some medicinal herbs. She then angrily punched Mo Beichen in the chest.

"What if you also want to raise cats and dogs? Master likes to eat beggar's chicken and wants to raise chickens too?" Yun Qingluo deliberately made things difficult for Mo Beichen.

Mo Beichen didn't care at all and said indifferently, "Then let her rest. We'll stew her to nourish her body later."

The slight sadness in Yun Qingluo's heart was successfully dispelled by the scene of chickens, ducks and geese filling the palace.

Watching the interaction between the two, the Ghost Doctor coughed a few times with a sour expression.

Mo Beichen didn't even raise an eyebrow when he heard the cough, but Yun Qingluo seemed startled and got out of Mo Beichen's arms somewhat embarrassed.

Mo Beichen felt an emptiness in his arms and couldn't help but glare at the Ghost Doctor.

The Ghost Doctor felt a chill run down his back, looked away, and pretended to admire the moon.

Yun Qingluo looked at the Ghost Doctor, "Junior Uncle, is there any way to cure my illness?"

Hearing this topic, the Ghost Doctor perked up, sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said firmly, "Of course there is..."

These were the words his senior brother specifically instructed him before leaving: if Luo Luo ever came to him and asked about his illness, he should tell him that there was a way to cure it, absolutely a way.

Upon hearing the Ghost Doctor's words, Yun Qingluo questioned, "Is there really a way?"
