"What? How could this be? Is the little princess's throat really beyond repair?" Xu Yuehuai simply couldn't believe that such a cute and kind little princess would be mute for the rest of her life?
The Ghost Doctor nodded and said, "The little princess's vocal cords are damaged and cannot be cured. She cannot make a sound now, but if I treat her, she can say some suicidal words and express some of her own thoughts."
"However, it's completely impossible to restore things to their previous state."
Xu Yuehuai understood what this meant, but as long as the little princess could make some of her own sounds, it was good enough.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Doctor Ghost. Please treat the little princess as soon as possible."
Next, the Ghost Doctor quickly performed acupuncture on the little princess. After a little treatment, the little princess's voice improved.
"Thank you... I am so grateful for your help, otherwise I probably would never have been able to speak again."
The little princess's voice sounds like a duck's quack now, but at least she can speak.
"Stop talking and take good care of your voice. Don't let anything else go wrong. Just stay here and rest for a while. We have some things to do, so we'll have to leave now."
"If you need anything, just have the waiter in the shop contact us. We'll be looking for someone in this area."
Xu Yuehuai comforted the little princess, telling her to stay there for now, as they would be going to find Qi Guze later.
The little princess was very well-behaved and nodded.
Then Xu Yuehuai and the others left and immediately went outside to continue searching for Qi Guze.
Now that it was the Flower Festival, they went to the streets and saw that the area was bustling with people. Everyone was very excited and gathered together with all kinds of lanterns in their hands, heading to the side of a high platform.
"Where are you all going? What's going on over there? Why is it so lively?" Xu Yuehuai asked the people around her. The people looked at them as if they were outsiders and hesitated for a long time before finally answering their questions.
"Don't you know that today is the day the Imperial Advisor prays for rain? It hasn't rained here for a long time, and the Imperial Advisor is praying for rain."
"I only hope that our martial arts kingdom will have good weather and abundant harvests, and that it will never suffer the same fate as the neighboring Great Zhou Kingdom, which suddenly experienced such a thing, including a plague. It's truly pitiful."
"The Imperial Advisor has always been incredibly accurate. After he prays for rain, it always rains here. We suffered from a long drought a while ago, and thanks to the Imperial Advisor, we finally got rain. We really should thank the Imperial Advisor!"
Xu Yuehuai and the others became curious after hearing this and wanted to see how the imperial advisor prayed for rain.
When she saw these historical events in modern times, she thought those people were incredibly ignorant. But now, facing this situation, she felt that what those people did was somewhat right. After all, it was able to appease the people and allow them to survive, thus maintaining social stability.
For a feudal country, this would be a good thing.
Next, Xu Yuehuai led Xia Sen and the others to the high platform where they were praying.
Xia Sen saw the particularly tall and mysterious man standing there and couldn't help but say something to Xu Yuehuai.
"Sister, that man in the long robe looks exceptionally handsome. I wonder what his face looks like under that mask?"
"How does my brother-in-law compare to him?"
Xu Yuehuai didn't answer for a moment after hearing this, because the man on the platform looked very familiar to her.
It's a kind of telepathic connection; it's like I know that person.
But now they are too far apart to get a good look, since there are many people between them.
Then they heard the man chant some incantations. As he brandished a peach wood sword, the clouds in the sky suddenly changed and gathered together, turning into dark clouds as if it were about to rain.
Then they saw the man chant some more spells, casually wave his peach wood sword and toss a talisman into the sky. Immediately afterward, lightning flashed from the dark clouds, accompanied by a loud rumble.
After a short while, the man said, "Rain falls—!"
He pointed the peach wood sword in his hand at the sky, and then the rain actually started to fall, pouring down in a heavy downpour, as big as beans.
The raindrops fell on all of them, and the people of Wuling Kingdom around them were especially happy after being splashed with rainwater, and they cheered.
"It's raining, it's raining! As expected of the Imperial Advisor, the Imperial Advisor is truly amazing. He managed to make the rain fall in an instant."
"We've been suffering from drought for a long time. If it weren't for the Grand Preceptor's prayers for rain, we would probably all have withered and died."
"Thank you, Grand Preceptor! Thank you for summoning the rain!"
"Long live the Imperial Preceptor! May the Imperial Preceptor live ten thousand years!"
The people of Wulin Kingdom were extremely grateful to the Grand Preceptor and kept kneeling on the ground to kowtow.
Just then, a strong wind suddenly blew up, lifting the Grand Preceptor's mask slightly.
Those people nearby didn't dare to look at the Grand Preceptor's face. When they caught a glimpse of it, they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to offend him, lest he refuse to help them and they had to pray for rain or something similar.
But Xu Yuehuai was different from those people. After seeing the Grand Preceptor's face, she immediately stared at it intently. The more she looked, the more familiar it seemed. Why did she feel that the Grand Preceptor was Qi Guze?
"Qi Guze—!"
Xu Yuehuai suddenly shouted in the direction where Qi Guze was.
There are no two people in the world who look so alike. He believed that the Grand Preceptor of Wuling Kingdom on the high platform must be Qi Guze.
However, Qi Guze on the high platform did not react at all after hearing her voice; instead, his eyes turned even colder.
Just as Xu Yuehuai was about to shout again, she was suddenly rebuked by the people of Wuling Kingdom beside her.
"You must not be disrespectful to our Grand Preceptor, or we will have to be very rude to you."
Why are you still standing there? Kneel down right now!
"This is our respected Imperial Advisor, what are you shouting about here?"
