Chapter 119: Master’s Mask

Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Master’s Mask

"Xiao Yu, she really is strange, that smile on the mask was eerily unsettling in this scorching summer heat," Song Yingqing said, her voice low, as goosebumps covered her skin.

Yet there was not a trace of fear on Nan Yu’s face, instead, she stared intently at the mask, her eyes brimming with a hint of nostalgia.

She bit her lower lip until it bled, tasting the blood in her mouth, before she slowly began to speak.

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

All eyes were on Gu Chuxin near the doorway; no one noticed Song Yingqing and Nan Yu, nor heard their conversation.

Song Yingqing quickly pressed her, "Xiao Yu, are you sure?"

Nan Yu didn’t hesitate.

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

Her voice became hoarse, as if she was suppressing some pain.

Song Yingqing stood there, stunned.

"I remember you said that the name ’Ghost Doctor’ has been passed down through your sect for a long time, from generation to generation, and it’s always given to the disciple with the most talent and strength."

"To become ’Ghost Doctor,’ one must maintain mystery while practicing medicine, focusing on treating and saving patients, rather than drawing attention to the ’Ghost Doctor’ as a person, and so your master always wore the mask while practicing medicine."

Nan Yu nodded, "Yes, my master wore this mask. I thought it would have been buried with him; I never expected it to end up in her hands."

Song Yingqing narrowed her eyes, entertaining a bold speculation.

"Xiao Yu, do you think it’s possible that your senior might have killed your master?"

Nan Yu looked up at her abruptly, emotions swirling in her eyes.

Thinking she had misspoken, Song Yingqing quickly added, "I’m just guessing wildly; maybe it isn’t her..."

Nan Yu withdrew her gaze and cut her off, "I once suspected that too, but there was no evidence."

She paused for a second, her voice low, "After my master died suddenly, she disappeared overnight, and everything was too coincidental and strange."

"I’ve put in a lot of effort to find her, but it seems as if she intentionally avoids me, all trace of her vanished into thin air as if she had never existed."

Song Yingqing understood what she meant.

"So you’ve only now come to see her, to uncover the truth from back then?"

Nan Yu nodded gently, "Without evidence, I can’t make random accusations. I just want to find out the truth of what happened then, to know all the facts."

Song Yingqing looked into her resolute eyes and asked, "What if it turns out that she is the murderer?"

Nan Yu turned to her, unwavering, "Then I will definitely not let her go."

This was not just for herself, but also for her master!

Song Yingqing clasped her hands tightly, "I will help you uncover the truth of the past!"

The noise at the entrance was getting louder; Gu Chuxin had entered.

She saw Nan Yu standing inside at first glance.

Gu Chuxin stopped at the entrance, looking toward Nan Yu from a distance, with countless supporters behind her.

And there stood Nan Yu, seemingly isolated at the far end, with only Song Yingqing behind her.

They locked eyes, and the air seemed to freeze between them.

Instantly, it felt as if they were divided into two opposing camps.

Li Chongbai was the first to break the tense atmosphere.

He walked out from behind Gu Chuxin and joined Nan Yu’s side, turning back to Gu Chuxin with a smile.

"Vice Chairman Gu, this is the person I wanted to introduce to you. Her name is Nan Yu; she’s been very eager to meet you."
