Chapter 1103: Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand! (2)
“The doctor will be here shortly,” the head guard hurriedly assured, but stammered, “B-but sir, the doctor…”
Looking at Xie Yu in his current state, who could possibly save him?
Xie Yu had a bloodline of extraordinary purity and had long been considered as a candidate for the next leader of the Supernatural Management Bureau.
His energy was spiraling out of control, and not even Yun Fengzhi nor Xie Yanqiu could restrain him.
It always took the intervention of the Class S elders from the Supernatural Management Bureau to suppress him.
But where could they find a Class S evolved being right now?
...
“I’ll go to the Eternity Continent and try to find the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand,” Yun Fengzhi said with difficulty. “If I can’t…”
He didn’t dare finish the sentence.
The head guard pressed his lips together tightly.

If they couldn’t find the doctor, Xie Yu would, at best, be left crippled. At worst, he might never wake again, becoming nothing more than a vegetative state.

Eternity Continent, Ghost Valley.
Tonight, Si Fuqing made time to visit the Master of Ghost Valley.
Seeing her dressed up in a lolita outfit once again, the master’s eyebrows twitched. “Act normal for once!”
“What’s wrong with this?” Si Fuqing lifted her dress. “I think it’s cute! Master, I rarely come to visit you, and you’re insulting my fashion sense?”
The Master of Ghost Valley snorted coldly. “I’ve gotten used to being alone in this empty valley. Whether you come or not, I can live just fine by myself.”
“Master, I’m sorry! I come to see you whenever I can!” Si Fuqing clasped her hands together. “Or maybe you could cultivate some other hobbies, like finding someone else to play chess with?”
The ten infamous NPCs each had their own reputation for being difficult.
Though the Master of Ghost Valley was one of the most well-known, that didn’t mean he was the worst.
In fact, the others were so fearsome that players couldn’t even share information about them, and Si Fuqing had no intention of provoking these powerful NPCs.
Some of them, she hadn’t even encountered yet.
“I won’t play chess with them,” the Ghost Valley master grumbled, handing her a basket. “Go catch some fish.”
Si Fuqing sighed, already resigned to her fate.
Before long, she returned with a basket full of fish. The Master of Ghost Valley skillfully gutted and cleaned them, preparing to grill them.
Si Fuqing propped her chin in her hands, waiting.
“Someone’s looking for you again,” the Ghost Valley master suddenly remarked.
“Huh?” Si Fuqing narrowed her fox-like eyes. “Master, how do you know?”
In “Eternity”, she never revealed her true identity.
To avoid conflicts in the game bleeding into real life, most players altered their appearance when logging into the virtual world.
The Master of Ghost Valley knew her real name, but no one else did.
“Because I heard them asking for the Ghosthand Heavenly Doctor,” the master replied lazily.
“…That’s not me,” Si Fuqing muttered, clearly reluctant to acknowledge the nickname.
The Master of Ghost Valley, however, seemed rather pleased. “Let’s see who it is.”
With a wave of his hand over the water, a scene appeared.
It showed two people in conversation.
Si Fuqing hadn’t planned on paying attention until she saw Yun Fengzhi’s face.
No matter their in-game level or account ranking, she outranked Yun Fengzhi significantly.
Even though he had altered his appearance, she could still recognize him.
If Yun Fengzhi had come personally, could it mean that something had happened to Xie Yanqiu or Xie Yu?
As she listened to their conversation, her suspicions were confirmed.
Her expression shifted, and she abruptly stood up.
The Master of Ghost Valley raised an eyebrow in surprise. “You know them?”
“Yes,” Si Fuqing nodded. “I know them. I need to step out for a bit.”
“You’re not just saying that because you think he’s good-looking, are you?” the Master of Ghost Valley asked, skeptical. “You can’t go around saving everyone.”
Si Fuqing was speechless.
To be fair, she had done that before.
“Master, I really know him,” she insisted. “He’s actually the father of one of my students. If I were on the verge of death, wouldn’t you save me?”
“Ridiculous!” the Master of Ghost Valley bellowed in mock fury. “I see you’re itching for a beating!”
Covering her ears, Si Fuqing hurried away. “Master, I’m going to save him now. I’ll visit again soon!”
“Don’t you dare go dying on me!” the Master of Ghost Valley shouted after her, still fuming. “Do you want to drive this old man to an early grave?”
The ungrateful disciple!
He took a bite of the grilled fish, then uncorked the wine she had brought. As he sniffed it, his expression softened. “Well, the wine’s not bad. I’ll let it slide this time.”

Meanwhile, Yun Fengzhi was still gathering information from nearby NPCs.
He had timed it well. Not long ago, someone had spotted traces of the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand.
But Yun Fengzhi didn’t have much hope.
After all, the Heavenly Doctor was known for their eccentricity and unpredictable nature.
In a good mood, they would heal anyone.
In a bad mood, they might even finish someone off.
The Heavenly Doctor’s medical skills were unparalleled, as were their combat abilities and ability to vanish without a trace.
But Yun Fengzhi had no choice. With Xie Yu hovering between life and death in intensive care, and no doctor available from the Evolved Beings Alliance, the Heavenly Doctor was his only hope.
He had come to the Eternity Continent, visiting locations the doctor frequented, gambling on his luck.
Even if it cost him his life, he would gladly pay the price.
Following the NPC’s directions, Yun Fengzhi was about to set off with his guards to search further.
Just then, a figure descended from the sky.
It was the teleportation array used by players.
Yun Fengzhi looked up sharply, his expression freezing when he saw who had arrived.
The Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand… was a little girl?
But he quickly realized it was merely an in-game appearance.
Only players with a four-star account or higher could freely alter their appearance.
Before he could kneel in gratitude, the person spoke. “Uncle Yun, where’s Xie Yu?”
