Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

“Big Brother, it’s been a long time since we sparred. Shall we have a few rounds at the back mountain?” Feng Jiu told him with a smile.

“Sparring with you?” Guan Xilin shook his head and laughed. “You’re now a Divine King Strong Exponent. Wouldn’t it be torture for me to fight you? No, no. I was planning to accompany you on a stroll. Since you sent Hao’er out, I’ll practise with Du Fan and the others.”

He spoke as he walked away.”If you want to practise, go practice with Xuanyuan Mo Ze! The two of you would be evenly matched in a fight.”

Feng Jiu could not help but shake her head and laugh as she watched Guan Xilin leave the courtyard like a shot. “Really! Even if we’re practising, I definitely won’t go all out.” She also left as she spoke, thinking about discussing Hao’er’s situation with Elder Mei.

Meanwhile, Leng Hua dropped Hao’er off in a Cardinal Point City alley. “I’ll leave you here. Your mother instructed you to hone your skills in Cardinal Point City. You’ll spend the next ten days in the city. It is your choice where you will stay.”

Looking at Hao’er, who was blinking at him, Leng Hua paused before taking out two steamed buns wrapped in paper from his space ring and handing them to him while speaking softly, “You haven’t eaten anything this morning, have you? Eat a bun first to fill your stomach. You’ll have to figure out what to eat next on your own.”

“Thank you, Uncle Hua.” He took the steamed buns and thanked him.

“All right, I’m leaving now. Be cautious, and don’t trust strangers easily.” Leng Hua said as he patted him on the head and then left.

Hao’er stood by herself in the alley holding two white-as-snow steamed buns after he left. He thought for a little while, then sat down and started eating one of the buns. The other bun was carefully wrapped and stashed away on his chest.

He, who used to eat finer food, struggled to swallow dry buns without porridge and his eating pace got even slower and finally walk out of the alley with the remaining half of the bun.

“Buns for sale! Freshly baked meat buns!”

Hao’er’s eyes lit up when he heard the hawker’s call. Meat buns? They were much tastier than steamed buns and were filled with meat.

Without realizing it, his short legs carried him to the meat bun stall. The aroma of the steaming, fragrant hot buns caused him to involuntarily swallow.

He was just left home; why did he find the smell of the meat buns so appealing? Was everything outside the manor tastier?

“Go, get out of here! Where did this little beggar come from? Shoo, shoo! Don’t block my business early in the morning.” After noticing a dirty little beggar in front of him, the vendor quickly drove him away.

Hao’er was shoved to the side and out of the way. He stood in a corner, watching as the fierce hawker turned to greet customers who had come to buy buns with a smile.

Even though he was young, he was very smart and had learned a great deal from Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze. Hao’er quickly grasped the key lesson after observing the stark difference in how the hawker treated him compared to the paying customers.

He was a little beggar who couldn’t afford the meat buns. This made him worthless to the hawker, who then gave him a mean look. On the other hand, the hawker greeted the customers with a friendly smile because they bought his buns and helped him make money. Because of this, he treated them so politely.

When his mother sent him out, did she want him to know this? She didn’t tell him anything. What he was supposed to do in these ten days?
