Chapter 389 Be a Ghost Who Knows the Truth
Jin Diandian and Lu Qingqing entered the mansion together.
High walls stand tall, courtyards are deep, and alleyways meander.
The fallen leaves accumulated in the cracks of the wall, turning into rotten mud and grime.
In the corners where the sunlight doesn't reach, there is a sticky layer of moss.
They arrived at a secluded courtyard.
"My mother lives here? Isn't she your master's most beloved disciple?"
Jin Diandian sighed, seemingly also feeling sad.
"She was Master's favorite disciple, and this used to be the best courtyard in the mansion."
Later, the number of followers of the Holy Physician Sect increased, and the mansion was expanded again and again. Many high walls were built around it, and the place became remote.
Ouyang Bingyan sealed this place off, and now we don't know what's inside. Let's go in and take a look.
Jin Diandian opened the door.
There were three rooms in the courtyard, all of which were gloomy because ivy had grown under the windows, completely covering the walls and windows.
What's being covered isn't a house.
It was Ouyang Bingyan's jealousy of Shan Yueming.
She resented that her master couldn't see her abilities and efforts, and wouldn't acknowledge that Shan Yueming was better than her.
Yet, in his heart, he regarded her as his strongest rival.
So much so that even after throwing people into an abyss where they would never see the light of day, they would still keep this house, letting it grow rotten and filthy.
In this way, even someone as radiant as light can be dragged into the mire.
By making everything related to Shan Yueming something that can't be seen in the light, she can suppress it forever.
Lu Qingqing's eyes were like dark clouds obscuring the sun as she quietly looked at Jin Diandian, seemingly reminiscing, and touched the threshold.
That's hilarious.
There is not a trace of her mother's life here.
Feel sorry.
In her memory, her mother's home was in the capital or in Liuyun Village, but never here.
Mother had no attachment to this place whatsoever!
Jin Diandian, however, wanted to use this long-decayed and weathered past to try to awaken her longing for her mother.
She just can't empathize with me!
"Qingqing, let's go inside. This is your mother's old bedroom."
Jin Diandian stopped trying to hide it, took out a bunch of keys, and her eyes gleamed with an undisguised light.
Lu Qingqing didn't ask any questions, and followed her, stepping inside in one go.
The room reeked of a strong, fishy stench.
Damp and dark.
Jin Diandian ran almost impatiently to the earthenware pots placed in the room.
"Golden Dots, what is this?" Lu Qingqing asked expressionlessly.
Jin Diandian touched each of the jars, her throat filled with excitement.
"This is a good thing, a precious thing. It can make the most powerful person in the world obey you!"
Jin Diandian touched the earthenware jar with both hands that was inscribed with "Puppet Gu," as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world!
"Oh, so it can make even the Emperor obey?"
"Of course!"
She turned around and looked at Lu Qingqing, a triumphant smile appearing on her baby face.
He didn't seem cunning at all; instead, he appeared dull and stupid, like a complete fool.
She didn't understand the deeper meaning in Lu Qingqing's words, and instead started counting.
"one"
"two"
"three."
As soon as the three words were uttered, Lu Qingqing felt dizzy, swayed twice, and collapsed to the ground.
Why do I feel so weak all over?
"Hahahaha..." Jin Diandian laughed heartily.
"You know what? My master used to say to me, 'Luckily I don't have any bad intentions, otherwise no one would be a match for me.'"
"Look, even someone as capable as Lu Qingqing has fallen into my hands, hasn't she?"
Jin Diandian walked over carrying the jar of puppet Gu and sat down on the ground.
He poked Lu Qingqing's head repeatedly with his finger.
"Look at how capable you are. You're so young and you don't even respect me. Do you really think our Holy Medicine Sect's medical skills are inferior to yours?"
I can smell all the sleeping pills you make. Can you smell the muscle-relaxing powder I made? Can you smell it?
"The sleeping potion I taught Qiaoxiu was just to fool you! Did you really think that was my skill level?"
"Our Holy Physician Sect has collected medical techniques from all over the world. If not tens of thousands, then several thousand. You, a mere young girl, think you're a divine physician just because you can perform an abdominal surgery?"
Lu Qingqing's face turned pale. "Then what about the herbal medicine you taught me..."
"Don't worry, it's all true. The main problem is that there are so many herbs. It's hard for me to make up a lie. It takes too much brainpower, and I'm afraid you might misunderstand."
Lu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.
"I tried to guard against everything, but I still couldn't stop you. Now that I'm in your hands, at least let me die knowing why. What do you want?"
Jin Diandian must have felt very stifled by Lu Qingqing's control lately.
It's so frustrating!
She took all of Ouyang Bingyan's keys, intending to secretly hide all the good stuff.
Who would have thought that Lu Qingqing would always send people to follow her and her daughter?
She hasn't been to any of those secret rooms yet!
Today, when I'm walking with Lu Qingqing, those annoying people don't follow me anymore.
"What I want to do is control you, of course! I want to be the leader of the Holy Healer Sect, I want all the medicinal fields! And money, and people, I want it all!"
"I also want you to control the Crown Prince, make him obey me, and get him to give me lots and lots of soldiers, buy me more land, and grant me more cities."
Jin Diandian was getting excited as she spoke.
She reached out to open the jar.
Lu Qingqing pleaded weakly, "Please let me go for the sake of my mother and you being from the same sect. Didn't you say that you and your fellow disciples have a very good relationship?"
"Let me go, and I'll give you land and money, and make you the sect leader."
"Pah, you think I believe you! You're not like your mother, you're ruthless! You can kill without batting an eye!"
However, when Shan Yueming was mentioned, Jin Diandian seemed to want to say something.
"Fine, I'll let you die knowing the truth!"
So that you won't all treat me like a fool!
"I'm just that kind-hearted! I told Ouyang Bingyan this when she died, and I'll tell you now too!"
Once you become a puppet, you won't know what I'm talking about anymore.
Jin Diandian felt particularly relieved looking at Lu Qingqing's pale face, and then poked her head hard with her finger.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing was like a little lamb that could be slaughtered at will.
She felt so good!
"Let me tell you, when we were little, your mother and I did have a very good relationship."
"I'm simple-minded! And I'm the youngest, so the other three don't take me seriously and always give in to me."
Especially your mother, who knows I love to eat, always thinks of me whenever there's something delicious to eat.
Yan Qiubai likes her, so he's also nice to me.
Well, and then, I just came to like Yan Qiubai.
But I really didn't intend to fight with your mother back then.
What's more important to a man than food?
Later, her master offended the Shangguan family, and they beat her up and forced her to return to the Holy Physician Sect to create a medicine that could cure the head of the Shangguan family.
My master's internal organs were ruptured, and he couldn't hold on any longer and died. Before he died, he said that he would hand over the Holy Medicine Sect to your mother.
The eldest sister, who had run out to plead for her master, returned unwilling to accept it.
She wants to seize the position of sect leader.
"Your mother is stupid too. When the eldest sister wanted to take it, she didn't even resist and just gave her the position."
