Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor Chapter 1543 - Being looked down upon

1543 Being looked down uponThe young man turned back and answered with a smile, “It’s not far, just a few streets away. But it’s not easy to get into the City Lord’s manor recently. If you have no connections, I’m afraid you can’t get into the gate of the City Lord’s manor.”Feng Jiu’s eyes moved and her eyebrows raised slightly. “Oh? What’s the reason?”

“Young Master is not a local, so you don’t know that the old City Lord caught an evil disease two or three months ago but nobody was able to cure him. Not long ago, the City Lord sent out news that he will grant anyone who can cure the old City Lord’s illness one request without any conditions. As a result, physicians and alchemists from all over the country rushed to have a try.”
At this point, the waiter smiled. “Now, the City Lord’s manor is surrounded by people from morning to night. In addition to physicians and alchemists, there are also spectators and loose practitioners. So, it’s not so easy to enter the City Lord’s mansion because not everyone can enter it, even if they’re physicians or alchemists.”
After drinking a cup of wine, Feng Jiu poured another cup from the wine jug. With her other hand, a gold coin flew out into the waiter’s arm. “Go on, tell me everything you know.”
When the waiter caught the money in his palm, not a silver coin but a gold one, his eyes lit up. He told Feng Jiu everything he knew one by one. He didn’t come out of the room until a long time later.
After the meal, Feng Jiu left the inn and went for a walk. She thought of exploring the City Lord’s manor area in passing, to see whether the waiter’s story was true – that those outside the mansion were all physicians and alchemists.
Unexpectedly, there were a lot of people on the street outside the City Lord’s manor. As the waiter said, in addition to the doctors, there were alchemists with different strength levels. Among them, there were also people wearing the Pill Sun Sect’s robes.
“It seems that the disease has not been cured yet. However, the Old City Lord is suffering from an evil disease. Even if the City Lord can grant any requests, how can it attract so many people to come here?”
She murmured with some surprise. She came because she had to have Exquisite Seven Colour Flower to make a potion. However, it was unusual to see the physicians and alchemists there, each with a badge on their chest showing their rank and identity, to crowd together and discuss in a low voice.
“Haha, it’s for fame’s sake, of course!”
A voice came to her ears. Feng Jiu looked around and saw an over-thirty physician standing by, with an excited and expectant look. “Many people can’t cure the Old City Lord’s evil disease. Moreover, City Lord Duan has an extensive circle of friends and many of his family members have outstanding talents in various fields. Additionally, the Old City Lord has invited several famous physicians and alchemists to come to cure this evil disease. If someone can cure it, he will be famous all over the world. With such an opportunity, who wouldn’t want to give it a try?”
Feng Jiu’s gaze fell on the man’s chest badge then looked away indifferently. “There are so many people. Not everyone can see the Old City Lord, right?”
“Of course, since the Old City Lord is not in good health, he can’t meet so many people. Only ten people can go in every day, and these ten people must pass a selection test first.”
As he spoke, the man shot a glance at Feng Jiu. Seeing the young man in a dazzling red had no badge on his chest, he sneered. “Little kid, are you here to join in the fun?”
