Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 2681: A Thought

“I was wrong?” Patriarch Guo was taken aback and found himself unable to react.

“Mm, you’re wrong. Even though the smell of blood was intense that night, not a single ferocious beast approached. The later part of the night was peaceful. Everyone slept through the night.”

“That’s impossible.”

Patriarch Guo stood up and then spoke with his hands clasped behind his back. “Not just at night, but even during the day, the strong stench of blood in such a location will attract ferocious beasts. You all spent the entire night there. How is it possible that no ferocious beasts approached you? It doesn’t make sense.”

Patriarch Guo spoke as he walked around the courtyard and stomped his feet. He looked back at Guo Xinning as if he had just thought of something and asked, “Did you send someone to patrol that night? Who kept watch during the night?”

Guo Xinning felt admiration in his heart as he heard this. It’s no surprise that his father was able to dominate the entire Guo family and become the clan’s patriarch. His insight was truly out of reach for most people.

“It’s just me and Feng Jiu.” At this point, he assumed that his father’s wisdom had led him to the conclusion.

They were attacked by a pack of wolves, but they survived unscathed. The team did not leave that night and simply sent out a night patrol. A thought began to shape in his mind. Patriarch Guo looked at him with disbelief. “Was it Feng Jiu? No ferocious beasts dared to approach you that night because of Feng Jiu? Is that possible? His strength... ” As he hesitated, his voice began to falter.

Was it true that the azure-clad young man’s strength was only at the Foundation Formation? It’s impossible. Could he protect the Xie siblings with just Foundation Formation’s strength? But, how did he get away with no injuries?

“Yes, it was all thanks to Feng Jiu, but none of us realised it at the time.”

He sighed. “Not only did we not realise he was protecting us from ferocious beasts, but our Guo family disciples bullied them with contemptuous words because we had been hurt but they had not. Finally, the disciples reprimanded them and told them to leave.”

Patriarch Guo was shocked and stunned, not knowing what to say. He simply listened to him speak and told the rest of the story. Finally, he merely shook his head and muttered, “You people!”

“If he hadn’t finally returned to help us, I’m afraid none of us would have survived.” Guo Xinning stated.

When Patriarch Guo heard this, he turned to face Guo Xinning and spoke softly. “That’s because you were only mocking him at the time. If you had the intent to kill him, he would kill you even before those beasts attacked.”

He, who had been at the top for a long time, could roughly predict the other party’s thoughts.If it were him and they had the desire to kill at the time, he would not have shown mercy.

“The Great Elder’s life was in danger at the time. I promised that if he saved the Great Elder, we would take something of equal value to thank him. It’s only…” He looked at his father. “I have no idea what to give him.”

“Since this is the case, I will make the arrangements myself.” Patriarch Guo replied and then paused. “Because he said he didn’t want it publicised, tonight’s banquet will be more low-key, with not many people invited from outside.”

“Father, I doubt he’ll attend the banquet.” Guo Xinning clarified.

“He won’t attend?”

“Mm. What’s more, they’re not going to stay in the mansion for long. They should be anxious to go home.”

Master Guo pondered for a time before responding. “Then go and find out what his intention is first, and I’ll arrange other things!”
