Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 577 Another One Bites the Hook

Upon hearing Lachlan's words, Stephanie and her middle-aged bodyguard were both stunned.

Stephanie furrowed her brow slightly, her expression showing surprise. The middle-aged bodyguard's face immediately turned cold as he snorted, "Don't talk nonsense! How dare you defame Moonlit Monastery? The master of the temple is knowledgeable in astronomy and geography and uses divination to bring good fortune and avoid disaster for the people. You are here spouting lies to deliberately smea their reputation? Hmph!"

This man had been eager to join Moonlit Monastery but upon hearing Lachlan speak ill of it as a crooked path that needed to be destroyed, he became angry.

Lachlan furrowed his brow and chuckled before suggesting to Stephanie a moment later, "Stephanie, since we're both headed for Moonlit Monastery anyway, why not travel together?"

If it were anyone else who was a stranger to him, Lachlan wouldn't bother getting involved. He didn't care if they believed him or not; even if they suffered at the hands of Ghost Plaque Sect or Moonlit Monastery later on because of their ignorance or arrogance towards his warning - it wasn't any concern of his.

But with Stephanie in front of him... Lachlan couldn't help but wonder if there was some connection between her and his mother?

So, he didn't want her to get into trouble.

Looking back, from childhood to adulthood, Lachlan had never heard anything about his mother's family background.

He had never seen his grandparents or any relatives like aunts and uncles.

In short, the people from his mother's side of the family were a blank in Lachlan's memory.

Lachlan had asked his parents why he didn't have grandparents before. When he was young, his parents brushed it off, and when he grew up, they simply told him that his mother, Aliya, was an orphan. Lachlan never thought much about it, he just felt sorry for his mother and even pitied her.

But today, he saw a young girl who looked similar to his mother and had the same surname, Wynter.

This instantly made Lachlan feel that it was too coincidental!

Because of his longing for his mother, Lachlan felt an indescribable sense of closeness and fondness for Stephanie.

In his mind, various wild speculations couldn't help but emerge.

Upon hearing Lachlan's words, the middle-aged man sneered, "Traveling together? We're here to visit the master. Why would we be traveling together if you're causing trouble?" Stephanie's face also showed a hint of hesitation, and she smiled apologetically at Lachlan.

She had come to Moonlit Monastery this time to pray for better luck for her family.

This was extremely important to Stephanie, and she didn't want to ruin her important task because of someone she had just met.

What if Lachlan...

"Alright!"

Lachlan shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly.

Theirs intentions were already clear, and he wouldn't force himself into an uncomfortable situation.

Perhaps... it was just a coincidence.

There are too many people in this world who look alike.

After a meal, the atmosphere between Lachlan and Stephanie became somewhat tense, and they didn't say much more.

After finishing his meal, Lachlan left directly without staying.

In the middle of Diviner's Peak, there was a somewhat famous temple called Moonlit Monastery.

This temple was neither righteous nor evil, located between the mountains and on top of a peak.

Moonlit Monastery gained some fame because it was inhabited by several "masters" who were said to possess profound knowledge and the ability to change people's destinies. Attracting wealth, improving luck-those were their specialties.

At two o'clock in the afternoon!

The place where one of the masters of Moonlit Monastery presided was already filled with people.

Stephanie and the middle-aged bodyguard had also waited for a long time before finally reaching their turn.

"Greetings, Master."

After Stephanie sat down, she respectfully greeted the stern-looking master.

The middle-aged bodyguard beside her was filled with admiration and longing, bowing ninety degrees beside her.

River Ghost, the master in front of them, scrutinized Stephanie and smiled, "Miss, you are beautiful and intelligent, naturally kind and pure. In this materialistic world, you can still maintain your integrity and remain a virgin until now. It's truly rare, rare..."

"Tsk, tsk..."

Hearing his words, Stephanie couldn't help but frown. A slight blush appeared on her pretty face, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

She hadn't expected the master to actually see that she was still a virgin and even openly mentioned it.

This made Stephanie feel a bit abrupt and embarrassed!

However, she had a request from the master and didn't show any reaction. She simply asked the "master," "Master, I want to improve the fortune of my family. In recent years, my family has been declining, and our members have scattered for various reasons."

Upon hearing this, River Ghost

nodded, "Hmm! When it comes to

improving fortune, Moonlit

Monastery is the best. From individual fortunes to the national

destiny of a family, there's nothlet

Moonlit Monastery can't do. Miss, you've come to the right place! As long as you pay a sufficient price, you can obtain a top-quality divine card from us, which you can

enshrine in your family ancestral hall, guaranteeing prosperity for your

family for generations."

Stephanie's eyes lit up at the words, and an expression of anticipation and excitement appeared on her face. "Really? Then, Master, what kind of price do I need to pay? How much money?"

River Ghost waved his hand and said, "No, no, no... This divine card is not something that can be measured in terms of money."

"Then what do I need to give?" Stephanie's expression tightened, and she asked eagerly.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The middle-aged bodyguard also looked puzzled and said to the "master," "Master, whatever request you have, please speak up."

River Ghost smiled mysteriously,

with an air of righteousness and solemnity. "Actually, it's quite simple! This divine card, which can change the fortune of a family, can only be obtained by those who are destined for it. So, this young lady needs to accompany me to the back mountain and personally test if she is the destined one. At that time, she just needs to drip her blood on it, and if the divine card recognizes her as its owner, then it will be hers. As for money, it's not worth

mentioning!"

As he spoke, the "master" waved his hand, showing a disdainful attitude towards money.

As the words fell, Stephanie and the middle-aged bodyguard looked at the "master" with reverence. They felt that the master was truly noble.

Speaking with money just now felt like disrespecting the master.

"So that's how it is!"

"I hope I am the destined one," Stephanie said eagerly and nervously.

"Hmm, I hope so too! Then, young lady, please follow me," River Ghost said with a hint of mockery and coldness in his eyes, smiling.

"Okay!" Stephanie didn't doubt at all and nodded before standing up.

The middle-aged bodyguard followed closely behind.

River Ghost walked ahead, a triumphant and sinister smile appearing on his face.

Another virgin to be sacrificed! It seems... there are enough people for the ritual!
