Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor Chapter 2596

Chapter 2596: The Xie Clan
Feng Jiu emerged from the tent and put away the small tent, while the girl next to her continued to chatter…
When the elderly man beside the carriage saw the couple approaching, he asked, “Are you going to take the young man with you?” As he observed the figure folding the small tent.
The middle-aged man turned around and remarked, “The young man appeared rather ordinary. His appearance shows he is simple and honest. I can see that he is merely a commoner child with a little cultivation. He is also mute and unable to speak. Also, Little Shi is quite fond of him. I figured I would take him with us in the journey, have him sit outside with the coachman, and let him leave once we reached the city.”
The kid did not appear to represent any danger to them. Given that his wife and daughter wished to help him, he would consent.
The elderly man nodded his head. “Tell them to board the carriage!” Upon saying this, he entered the carriage first.
The beautiful woman and the middle-aged man sat in the back carriage, while the elderly man and the siblings sat in the front carriage. Feng Jiu stopped before deciding which carriage to take when she saw the girl sticking out her head and waving to her.
“Sit here, come on, come up quickly.”
After a slight pause, she approached the carriage and sat next to the coachman. However, immediately after taking her seat, she was pulled into the carriage by the girl.
“Little Sister, why did you bring him in? He looks filthy all over.” The young man grimaced and moved to the side. He did not want to approach Feng Jiu.
“Yutang, how can you talk like that!”
Hearing that, the elderly man, who had his eyes closed abruptly opened them. Looking at his grandson with a slight frown, the elderly man’s voice radiated with vital energy as he spoke. “Although strength is revered in our world, words and acts are also extremely significant. Currently, you are a descendent of the Xie Clan, thus your rank is noble. However, what if you were not a member of the Xie family, but instead a commoner?”
When the young man was reprimanded by the older man, his cheeks became flushed and his head lowered. “Grandfather, I, I…”
“Grandfather’s intent is not to scold you but to teach you how to behave. You’re still young, but if your words and actions remain the same in a few years, people will look down on you. You must remember that if you want others to respect you, you must first respect others.” The old man spoke in a deep voice. At the same time, his gaze was drawn to Feng Jiu.
Feng Jiu’s heart was filled with wonder as she listened to the elderly man’s words. In a world where the strong were revered, it was extremely unusual for this elderly man to teach his children and grandchildren in this manner. Also, regardless of one’s cultivation level, one must have good thoughts or else commit evil and fail to distinguish between right and wrong.
Furthermore, if one’s lips kept spouting disdain, contempt, and despise for others, how could such a person be respected by others?
“Mm-hmm, indeed, indeed. Big Brother, you should listen to Grandfather. Grandfather’s words are the most reasonable.” The girl said with a smile.
“Are you unable to speak? Are you born that way or is it acquired afterwards?” The elderly man asked Feng Jiu.
When she caught the elderly man’s gaze, Feng Jiu took a brief pause. She noticed a small tea table in the middle of the carriage with a pot of tea on it, so she touched some of the tea with her hand, scribbled some words on the table, and told him she couldn’t speak since she had recently wounded her throat and would be fine in a few days.
Seeing this, the elderly man nodded, then added, “Since this meeting is fated, please keep these two company!”
Feng Jiu glanced at the two siblings and nodded.
“You still haven’t given me your name!”
