Chapter 227: Rebirth Organization
Chapter 227: Rebirth Organization
Hu Ma thought to himself that even though he had rescued the Li family's daughter, the Li family is a powerful and prestigious family, and even their old housekeeper looks down on him. However, the key to the problem lies in the question asked by Baijiu Miss (White Wine Miss) during the Rebirth Organization meeting: what is lacking?
Hu Ma thought that he lacks many things, including blood food, the skill to control the ghostly powers, and a deeper understanding of the world and the Ten Surnames' plans. But most importantly, he lacks human connections.
Baijiu Miss smiled and said, "You can think like this, which saves me the effort of advising you."
"This opportunity, I don't suggest you miss."
"Ghost Cave Li Family is a noble family with official status and inheritance. If you can make them owe you a favor, it's even more valuable than the connections between Rebirth members."
"Your skills, once you enter the manor, will be somewhat challenging. Even as a Rebirth member, it's not easy to help you, but a family like this can help you solve the problem."
"Even if one day you get into trouble that you can't handle, and the Rebirth Organization can't help you, going to a family like this for help will give you an unexpected surprise."
Hu Ma listened to Baijiu Miss's words and confirmed his own thoughts. He said, "Of course, I have this idea, but I also know that the Li family's favor is not easy to obtain..."
After a brief moment of contemplation, he asked, "Can you help me see what's going on with her now?"
Baijiu Miss replied, "I came down during the day and saw the problem. She's suffering from a soul injury, and her primordial soul can't return to her body, causing her to lose her soul and fall into a coma."
"But the most critical injury is the nail in her soul."
Hu Ma thought of the person who might be responsible for this and asked, "How can we heal this injury?"
Baijiu Miss was taken aback and asked, "You want me to help her heal?"
Hu Ma replied, "I mean, can we save her life first?"
Baijiu Miss smiled and said, "Why?"
Hu Ma explained that the Li family's situation is complex, and he suspects that there might be some underlying issues. He mentioned that he had sent a message to the Li family earlier, but no one came to pick her up, and instead, she got into trouble.
Baijiu Miss listened to his words and commented, "You've become more mature and cautious, unlike the young man from the village."
Hu Ma smiled and said, "I've learned from my experiences."
Baijiu Miss asked, "So, what's your ideal outcome now?"
Hu Ma thought for a moment and replied, "The most ideal outcome would be for the Herb Heart Hall to heal her, and then her family comes to pick her up. This way, I can establish a connection with the Ghost Cave Li Family without getting involved in their internal affairs."
Baijiu Miss said, "I can try to heal her soul injury and remove the nail, but I'm not sure if she'll wake up. The situation is too unusual, and even if I remove the nail, she might not wake up."
Hu Ma sighed and said, "If that's the case, then we can only follow the old housekeeper's plan."
"If my guess is correct, the problem she's facing now is really related to the letter I sent to her family. It's possible that her family is embroiled in power struggles and internal conflicts."
"And now, someone has deliberately set a trap for her. If she wakes up forcefully, it might just bring more unnecessary trouble."
"Even the grievances within her family might be drawn to Mingzhou City."
"In my opinion, it would be better to stabilize her condition. This way, whether we wait for her real family to come and take her, or send her back to the Ghost Cave Li Family in Lingshou Mansion, we can avoid the entanglements and make things easier for everyone..."
"..."
"That's exactly what I think."
Miss White Wine sighed softly and said to Hu Ma, "In fact, when we at Caoxin Hall encounter such situations, we always handle them this way. Do you know why we rarely treat these strange illnesses?"
"Because people have fates."
"Of course, the concept of fate is too abstract, but the entanglements of grudges and favors are very real. We are a clinic, and helping people treat illnesses and injuries is our duty."
"But helping someone prolong their life is a different matter. If you save someone who is about to die, but their impending death was caused by someone else's spell, then by saving them, we would be offending someone with the power to kill."
"There are too many malevolent and evil methods in this world. How many can Caoxin Hall offend?"
"So, even though we have the skills, we don't use them if the origins are unclear. We will push away what we can."
"Even with the connections we have with the Ghost Cave Clan, we must follow the rules. Sometimes, these connections can be a burden."
"..."
"I can see that."
Hu Ma thought to himself that this was indeed Caoxin Hall's consistent approach.
Even when Diguashao came for treatment, they immediately quoted a high price and delayed her treatment. The reason was simple: at that time, the Blue-robed Evil Ghost was still wreaking havoc in Mingzhou City, and Caoxin Hall didn't want to get involved in the trouble.
Diguashao, although smart, lacked the necessary prudence. If she had realized this earlier, she wouldn't have sought medical help before the Blue-robed Evil Ghost left. She could have waited until the Blue-robed Evil Ghost was gone, and then Caoxin Hall might have treated her more readily.
Now, because Caoxin Hall had already quoted a high price, she found it difficult to back down before she had gathered enough Blood Food.
Just as he was thinking, Miss White Wine said, "Your thoughts are quite sound, but what if you really need to personally escort her back to the Ghost Cave Li Family?"
"Are you willing to do this?"
"..."
"This matter has become more complicated..."
Hu Ma didn't pretend and just smiled bitterly, "If I directly return their lost daughter, the favor would be immense, but I can't ignore the risks..."
"Moreover, the journey is long, and I don't have any acquaintances in Anzhou. If something goes wrong..."
"..."
He stopped speaking, as the potential issues were varied, and he couldn't afford to overlook any of them.
What if the Ghost Cave Li Family is unreasonable?
What if the family's enemies intercept me before I reach them?
If they are overly overly enthusiastic or overly welcoming and think my mixed blood food gang has no future, and insist on keeping me as a son-in-law?
"You are considering what I am also thinking about."
Miss White Wine smiled, "In fact, after I learned about this matter, I was already thinking of something to ask of you."
"Do you remember the task I mentioned before?"
"..."
"Ah?"
Hu Ma was slightly taken aback and said, "Didn't you say I needed to refine three organs to help you?"
Moreover, the task she mentioned earlier seemed to be related to "Ennoblement." I have been learning more about it during this time, but why has it changed now?
"Let's put aside the Ennoblement matter for now."
Miss White Wine laughed softly and said, "But after learning about the girl's identity, I had other ideas. I am simply overwhelmed with tasks."
"I need to leave for a while, and I also need someone to stay here. Initially, I thought of asking you to stay, but now I realize it would be better if you could make a trip to Anzhou and deliver a letter."
"..."
"Deliver a letter?"
Hu Ma was slightly taken aback and asked, "To whom?"
Miss White Wine slowly replied, "To the Reincarnator Organization in Anzhou."
"Reincarnator Organization?"
Hu Ma was somewhat surprised.
"Isn't that normal?"
Miss White Wine smiled, "We few people in Mingzhou City often discuss matters, share information, and look for opportunities to cooperate. Don't we already form a small organization?"
"And if we can form a small group in the remote Mingzhou City, it's reasonable that larger cities have more established Reincarnator Organizations."
"To be honest, before coming to Mingzhou City, I was part of this organization."
