Chapter 119 The Master's Mask

"Xiaoyu, she's really strange. The smile on that mask is so eerie, it's a bit creepy in this hot summer."

Song Yingqing got goosebumps and couldn't help but whisper to Nan Yu.

Nan Yu showed no fear on her face. Instead, she stared intently at the mask, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.

She bit her lower lip until it bled and she tasted the blood in her mouth before slowly opening her mouth.

"Yingqing, she is my senior sister Gu Chuxin."

Everyone was gathered around Gu Chuxin at the door, and no one noticed Song Yingqing and Nan Yu, nor did anyone hear what they were saying.

Song Yingqing quickly pressed her, "Xiaoyu, are you sure?"

Nan Yu did not hesitate for a moment.

"The mask on her face is the same mask my master always wore when he practiced medicine under the name of the Ghost Doctor."

His voice became hoarse, as if he was suppressing some kind of pain.

Song Yingqing froze on the spot.

“I remember you said that the name ‘Ghost Doctor’ was passed down from generation to generation in your sect a long time ago, and each generation would pass on the name of ‘Ghost Doctor’ to the most talented and capable disciple.”

"To become a 'ghost doctor,' one must maintain an air of mystery while practicing medicine, focusing on healing and saving lives rather than drawing attention to the 'ghost doctor' person. That's why your master always practiced medicine while wearing a mask."

Nan Yu nodded, "Yes, this is the mask my master wore. I thought the mask was buried with my master, but I didn't expect it to be in her hands."

Song Yingqing narrowed her eyes, a bold guess forming in her mind.

"Xiaoyu, do you think it's possible that your master was killed by your senior sister?"

Nan Yu suddenly looked up at her, her eyes swirling with emotion.

Thinking she had said something wrong, Song Yingqing quickly said, "I was just guessing, maybe it wasn't her..."

Nan Yu withdrew her gaze and interrupted directly, "I also had my suspicions before, but I had no evidence."

She paused for a second, then said in a low voice, "Back then, when my master suddenly passed away, she also disappeared overnight. Everything was too coincidental and strange." "I spent a lot of effort looking for her, but it was as if she was deliberately avoiding me. All the information about her vanished into thin air, as if she had never existed."

Song Yingqing understood the meaning behind her words.

"So now you want to see her and find out the truth from back then?"

Nan Yu nodded gently, "I can't speculate on things without evidence. I just want to find out the truth of what happened back then and know all the facts."

Looking at the determination in her eyes, Song Yingqing asked, "What if it turns out she's the murderer?"

Nan Yu turned to look at her and said without hesitation, "Then I will definitely not let her go."

This is not just for myself, but also for my master!

Song Yingqing gripped her hands tightly, "I will help you find the truth of what happened back then!"

The noise at the door grew louder, and Gu Chuxin entered.

She spotted Nan Yu standing inside at a glance.

Gu Chuxin stopped at the doorway, looking at Nan Yu from afar, with countless people supporting her behind her.

Nan Yu stood at the very back, with only Song Yingqing behind her, looking all alone.

The two stared at each other, and the air seemed to freeze.

In an instant, it was as if they had been divided into two opposing camps.

Li Chongbai was the first to break the awkward atmosphere.

He stepped out from behind Gu Chuxin, came to Nan Yu's side, and turned back to Gu Chuxin with a smile.

"Vice President Gu, this is the person I wanted to introduce to you. Her name is Nan Yu, and she has always wanted to meet you."
