Qingqing couldn’t help but burst into laughter, then quickly composed herself and said earnestly, “I’ve come this time to invite you to the palace with me, to lend me your strength.”
Qingqing expected the Ghost Doctor to agree immediately, but he countered, “I’m not Tian Gongzi’s follower; why should I go to the palace with you?”
Qingqing then realized things might not go as smoothly as she thought, but she was not worried. She casually said, “Because you owe me.”

The Ghost Doctor was stunned, then burst into a playful laugh, “I transformed your face without charging you a penny, and when you were young, you nearly ruined my reputation. How do you figure I owe you?”
The Ghost Doctor found this incredibly amusing; it had been a long time since he heard such a funny jest. Qingqing remained calm, “When I was young, your medical skills were not up to par, and you couldn’t cure me, which had nothing to do with me. Now, you’ve turned my once ugly face beautiful, that’s why you owe me.”
The Ghost Doctor let out an “Oh?” sound, intrigued by Qingqing’s continued reasoning.
“That ugly me could have lived in the simplest happiness or died directly. But you changed that, and with it, my whole life.”
The Ghost Doctor was finally at a loss for words, letting out a long sigh, looking as if he were at Qingqing’s mercy. Qingqing smiled, “Don’t be angry, Master, the palace will be much more interesting than this bamboo forest.”
The Ghost Doctor simply closed his mouth, deeply understanding the saying, “Only women and small-minded men are hard to deal with!”
Qingqing, seizing the moment, added, “I also want to bring Yan Shu with us into the palace. Having a martial artist will ensure our safety.”
