The Luckiest Dumb Doctor
Chapter 769 - Chapter 769 Chapter 769 Night Meeting_1

Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Night Meeting_1 Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Night Meeting_1 Luis Cotes had wanted to inquire what exactly he was planning, but ultimately felt that asking or not made no difference. He could only advise:

“We’re entering the secret realm tomorrow. Unless necessary, it’s best not to stir up trouble.”

“Uncle Master, don’t worry, I have a clear understanding of the situation,” Greg Jensen casually smiled.

Luis Cotes sighed and walked out in silence.

Greg Jensen looked up at the sky outside and thought of meeting Louisa Burley soon, which excited him a bit.

He took a deep breath, calmed his emotions, returned to the bed, sat cross-legged, and began to practice the Guidance Technique, adjusting his state.

After all, the Sect of the Vastness was someone else’s territory; he had truly entered the tiger’s den and needed to maintain his best condition.

Night fell, and the fading daylight concealed his figure.

Only when the darkness had completely settled, and most people had fallen into a deep sleep, did Greg Jensen leave his room without making a sound.

The moon shone brightly, casting a vast expanse of cold light.

Greg Jensen stood at the doorway motionless while spreading his Divine Sense, carefully surveying the surroundings.

Teresa Cotes was fast asleep, and Luis Cotes was practicing inside his room. The Cultivators in the neighboring courtyard were likewise sunk into slumber.

Greg Jensen’s heart relaxed slightly as he executed the Drifting Dragon Movement Skill, turning into a series of phantoms, drifting toward the detached residence he’d found earlier that day.

Under the cool moonlight, a shadow flickered, moving swiftly like a dragon in flight.

There was no sound as he moved, nor did he leave a single trace.

Unbeknownst to him, outside the great hall of the Sect of the Vastness, an old and a young figure–two pairs of eyes–watched him.

“Master, he has gone to the detached residence where Louisa Burley lives,” Aaron Gill said with a cold face.

“Let him be. Louisa Burley’s body is full of cold poison. Unless she embarks on the path of cultivation, she cannot mate, there’s nothing to worry about.”

Magnus Conner’s eyes gleamed with a hint of confusion as he frowned, “What I’m puzzled about is why the Danxia Sect has become involved with Louisa Burley?”

“Could it be him?”

A silhouette flashed through Aaron Gill’s mind, but he quickly dismissed it.

Magnus Conner frowned, “Who did you think of?”

“It’s nothing; it couldn’t be that person,” Aaron Gill replied.

“All right, let’s not worry about Louisa Burley for now. She’s just a tool after all. As long as it doesn’t affect your Core Formation, there’s no need to bother with the rest,” Magnus Conner said as he glanced at him.

“Go back and recuperate. We’re entering the secret realm tomorrow. Get yourself in peak condition and try to finish the business within a day to avoid unnecessary complications,” he added.

“Yes, Master.”

Aaron Gill gazed deeply in the direction of the detached residence, his eyes betraying a trace of ferocity.

Although that woman was just a tool, she was, after all, his fiancee in name. How would the Sect of the Vastness’s prized son handle himself if she met privately with another man at night?

However, Aaron Gill also knew that the secret realm was the priority and he couldn’t waste time on such matters. So, after a glance, he suppressed the anger in his heart and returned to the great hall to meditate and cultivate.

Meanwhile, Greg Jensen landed lightly in the courtyard, looking at the light still on in the house. He gave a soft cough.

Louisa Burley sat inside, holding a classic Daoist text, engrossed in her reading. She suddenly heard a cough outside and thought it was Aaron Gill arriving.

She frowned slightly, hesitated for a long moment, but did not open the door. Instead, she said softly, “Mr. Gill, what brings you here so late?”

She mistook me for Aaron Gill?

Greg Jensen was taken aback and before he could speak, Louisa Burley’s voice came from inside again: “If it’s not urgent, we can talk tomorrow.

It’s too late now; I won’t invite you inside.”

Greg Jensen sensed the tension in her voice and, his heart aching, hesitated no longer and pushed the door open.

The wooden door was not locked and creaked open in response.

Louisa Burley’s brows knitted slightly, about to speak out and stop the intrusion when she realized the person entering was a stranger.

She immediately tensed up, like a frightened little rabbit, her petite face taut as she quickly retreated to the corner.

Clutching the amulet that Greg Jensen had given her, she said with a trembling voice, “You… who are you?”

Greg Jensen looked at the face he had been longing for day and night and could no longer suppress the affection in his heart. He stepped forward and embraced her in his arms.

The amulet showed no reaction at all!

Louisa Burley turned pale with fright, struggling violently, “You… get away from me, if you don’t leave I’m going to call for help…”

“Amande, it’s me.”

Greg Jensen lifted his head, revealing his true appearance.

In an instant, Louisa Burley’s body stiffened, her beautiful eyes widened, her pupils trembling rapidly, her gaze filled with disbelief.

“Greg… Greg?”

At that moment, silence prevailed.

Louisa Burley gazed up at the man she had been dreaming of, her lips curling up, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

But those crystal-clear tears fell uncontrollably, like pearls broken off a string.

“Greg, why did it take you so long to come?”

Although Louisa Burley verbally expressed her dislike for Greg Jensen seeking her out, the moment he truly appeared before her, a profound sense of happiness overwhelmed all reason.

As if trying to weep out all her melancholy, she cried out loud in Greg Jensen’s embrace, not caring whether others could hear her or not.

Greg Jensen casually set up a sound barrier array and then gently started stroking her long hair, soothing her, “Alright, here I am.”

Louisa Burley did not look up, continuing to sob in his arms.

After a while, as if suddenly coming to her senses, she hurriedly stopped her crying, pinched Greg Jensen’s cheek to make sure she wasn’t dreaming, and then continued to cry in his embrace.

Greg Jensen was taken aback for a moment and then let out a bitter smile before lifting her chin and kissing her.

Louisa Burley struggled for a bit, then began to respond eagerly.

After a long time, they finally parted lips.

In the quiet room, only Louisa Burley’s heavy breathing could be heard.

“Come with me,” Greg Jensen said softly.

The flicker of hope in Louisa Burley’s eyes suddenly brightened but then slowly faded away.

She shook her head softly, “No, I can’t go with you; what will become of my parents if I do?”

Greg Jensen assured her earnestly, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will be able to hurt you, nor your family.”

“But…”

“Trust me.”

Greg Jensen spoke with conviction, “I have to accompany them to a secret realm tomorrow. When I return, I’ll take you with me.”

Louisa Burley silently gazed at him, her eyes brimming with joy and love, yet she could not seem to come to a decision.

Only after a long while did she let out a soft sigh, “Greg, I also want to go with you, but…”

“I know.”

Greg Jensen responded earnestly, “I’m aware of your concerns, but I need you to trust me, okay?”

“Mhm.”

Louisa Burley, looking into Greg Jensen’s sincere eyes, finally nodded, her mouth curving into a lovely arc as she said,

“From today onwards, I’ll entrust myself to you; you must remember to protect me.”

“Mhm, I swear, as long as I live, no one can hurt you, not even if the emperor himself comes.”
