Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor-Chapter 4657: Not appropriate

Chapter 4657: Not appropriate

Her gaze drifted towards the masked man who sat cross-legged in the corner of the airship. His breathing was even and deep, his eyes closed in quiet contemplation. A faint, shimmering barrier enveloped him, a subtle layer of protection around his still form.

Over the course of their journey, she had observed this ritual of his – finding a quiet space to sit in meditation. It wasn’t the focused intensity of martial arts practice; it seemed more akin to… his spirit having momentarily detached itself from his physical body.

Recalling his enigmatic words, that this vessel was not truly his own, that he had merely borrowed it to traverse realms, her suspicion solidified into a near certainty: his soul was indeed leaving his physical form during these trances.

Half a year. In just half a year, her children would follow him, embarking on their own paths.

A deep breath filled her lungs, then slowly escaped. After a brief pause, she straightened and beckoned to her three children. “Come here.”

Instantly, the three of them gravitated towards her. Yue’er nestled into her embrace, while Muchen and Hao’er stood attentively at her side.

“Mother, Mother, what kind of master are you going to find for Brother Boqing?” Yue’er asked, her small face tilted upwards from the comfort of her mother’s arms.

Feng Jiu gently stroked her daughter’s hair and smiled softly. “He is a Mystical Cultivator, so naturally, we will seek out a Mystical Cultivator as his master. Don’t worry, my little one! Mother will find him a good one.”

“Mother, Uncle is a Mystical Cultivator,” Muchen pointed out.

Hearing this, Feng Jiu’s eyebrows arched slightly. “You mean send him to your uncle and ask him to take him as a disciple?” Her initial thought had been to place Pan Boqing within a reputable sect. With a single word from her, he would undoubtedly receive exceptional training, regardless of the sect.

“Is that not a good idea?” Muchen asked, his young eyes filled with genuine confusion.

Feng Jiu shook her head gently. “It’s not that it’s a bad idea, Muchen, but it’s not entirely appropriate. Because he is your uncle, I can’t simply decide to make him his disciple. My plan is to send Boqing to a well-regarded sect and find him a dedicated master there. As long as he possesses talent and is willing to work hard, he will undoubtedly have a bright future.”

“Mm hmm,” Muchen nodded in understanding. He trusted his mother’s judgment, sensing that she had her own well-considered reasons and was surely acting in Boqing’s best interest. He didn’t press the matter further.

“Mother, where are we going now?” Hao’er inquired.

“We are going to the Xuanyuan Empire, to your grandfather’s place,” Feng Jiu replied. “Since I found you, I have only notified him of your return but haven’t yet taken you to see him. This time, we will stay there for a while.”

The thought of sending her children away soon made her cherish these moments even more. She would have fewer opportunities to see them in the future, so this visit would allow them to spend precious time with their grandfather. Moreover, she needed to find the right moment to tell him about Mo Ze.

Pushing those thoughts aside for the moment, she focused on her children. “My darlings, you’ve almost used up all the medicinal pills I gave you, haven’t you? Is there anything you need? Mother will find time to make some more for you.”

“Mother, Mother, we’ve run out of the medicinal pills for treating internal injuries! Last time, Big Brother didn’t even want to use them himself! He gave them all to us,” Yue’er said quickly, her voice filled with concern.

“Mother, we’re also running out of medicine for treating external injuries,” Muchen added.

Hearing their needs, Feng Jiu nodded reassuringly. “Yes, Mother knows. I will help you refine some more and distribute them to you later.” It seemed she would need to prepare a substantial supply of medicinal pills for them, knowing they would soon be venturing out on their own. “Later, Mother will also prepare a piece of protective clothing for each of you. Wear it always, and you won’t be easily injured.”
