Thousand Face Demonic Concubine Chapter 117.2

Chapter 117.2 - Die and be resurrected

Even though there are a lot of similar looking people in the world, a single person also has an aura that is affected by the individual’s own experiences, in a way that is extremely unique.

When she was younger, the impression that her mother gave her was too strong so in a single look, she was able to recognise her as her mother.

The two people were completely dumbfounded, “But … the eldest madam … didn’t she die many years ago ….”

So how did she become the Ruan family’s ninth madam?

This gap was a bit to big, their hearts were only so small, they felt so complicated ….

“Yes, I’d also like to know how my mother was able to die and be resurrected back at the Ruan family. But that’s not our aim.”

“Then … what is?”

“Now that we know who Ruan Xiuren’s ninth madam is, then we can find the medicine to cure her. If Ruan Xiuren’s trying to find doctors to cure her, then we can personally take a look.”

Thousand Face was the first to shake his head, “Master, that Ruan Xiuren’s masters’ residence is like an iron fortress, not even a moth could fly in.”

“We’re obviously not going like this.”

Thousand Face’s eyes lit up, “Then how do we go in?”

“The ninth madam is in trouble so Ruan Xiuren’s definitely going to be trying to find people to cure her. Thousand Face, go investigate who’s the next person that Ruan Xiuren will ask to come and we can replace them to enter and see what’s happening.”

Thousand Face was overjoyed, “Yes! This subordinate will go do so now!”

Right until Thousand Face left, did Lou Qingwu then continue to calmly look at the withered tree in front of her.

In a daze, she felt like she could see that warm and gentle woman from all those years ago, lightly smiling at her, saying, Qingwu.

Thousand Face quickly came back, this time, finding out wasn’t that hard because he’d already begun to be familiar with the people of the residence.

Even though getting that news still required a bit of effort, it was a lot easier than getting the portrait.

Once he received news, Thousand Face quickly came back to the Leaning Wind Pavilion.

“Master, this time the Ruan family’s head asked for a Jianghu’s Daoist priest who said that he could cure all different types of complicated diseases and sicknessess. I don’t know where he found him but he’s currently being protected and entering the capital.”

Lou Qingwu was silent for half a moment before speaking, “Thousand Face, help Lan Bai disguise herself into my likeness. We can then wait outside of the capital.”

“Yes!”

After half a day, a carriage galloped into the capital.

In front of the carriage was Ruan family’s housekeeper as he drove the carriage all the way into the Ruan residenc.e

Right until they reached Ruan Xiuren’s master residence did the carriage finally stop.

The housekeeper flipped down and personally opened the curtains, respectfully speaking to the people inside, “Daoist priest, we’ve arrived, please!”

Inside, a middle aged man sat with a head of precisely groomed silver hair.

He wore a Daoist cloak, his head was tied with a jade band as he closed his hands.

His left hand held prayer beads, he had a few hints of a deity-like aura.

When the housekeeper saw this, his eyes grew even brighter.

He only hoped that this Daoist priest had some talent and could save the ninth madam.

This way, the family head wouldn’t have to be bound by that person, and could swap the wedding dowry for funds that could save the stores’ financial dilemmas.

The Daoist priest finally opened his eyes, his sharp eyes bring wisdom.

He really did seem to have some sort of talent.

He answered and stepped out of the carriage.

He then swept all four directions and in a deep voice, “Where is this priest’s medicinal child?”

“Ah? Shifu, I’m here!”

Not too far away, a slightly messy man rushed forward and when he reached the Daoist priest, haphazardly brushed at his hair, “Shifu, I’m all good.”

The Daoist priest furrowed his brows, “What did you go do?”

“Ah, my stomach wasn’t feeling too well, hehehe.” The medicinal child giggled before turning to face the housekeeper.

When he saw the housekeeper had a solemn face, his laughter became even more foolish.

TL note:

Medicinal child - a child, most of the time an orphan, that alchemists or whoever, take in as their disciple or disciple in training. They're trained from childhood to be an a.s.sistant to whoever and can learn on the side.

What woman would go from Lou Qufeng’s legitimate wife to Ruan family’s ninth concubine?

Actually, if I had to deal with Ruan Zhen, me too.

Leave a comment and because Lou Qingwu did the :thinking: emoji xx
