"Hua'er, you're early today." Shan Yu smiled when he saw Nan Hua coming to the small hut.
Nan Hua glanced up at her senior brother. "Senior Brother Shan."
"Master is here to visit your senior sister. Do you want to co in? Kuang Shen is already itching for lessons to start."
"I'm not!" Kuang Shen's voice of protest ca from inside the small hut.
"Are you eavesdropping?"
Kuang Shen looked away when he faced with Shan Yu's question. He was standing near the door, leaning on the fra. It wouldn't be weird if he ended up hearing the content of their conversation.
Nan Hua looked at her senior brother then towards the small hut. Her eyes flickered when she saw Traveling Doctor Liu walked out with a bag in his hand. The gaze he showed…
"Hua'er, it's ti for to leave." Traveling Doctor Liu flashed an apologetic smile.
Kuang Shen rolled his eyes. "Master, you're not fulfilling your promise."
"Chen Yuan will help to teach you the rest of the materials. I'll be going to visit your tenth senior brother." Traveling Doctor Liu was a bit helpless about this too. He received a ssage from his annoying tenth disciple who had sohow created a problem again. If he didn't co there soon, he was sure that his disciple would end up… causing a catastrophe.
"How long will you go, Master?" Nan Hua asked calmly.
Traveling Doctor Liu smiled bitterly when he saw how calm Nan Hua was in contrast to the noisy Nan Luo. "A few months. I might return when it's Sumr or Autumn."
"That's quite long."
"Your tenth senior brother is not in Fei Yang Kingdom."
Kuang Shen shut his mouth after he heard that. Crossing the border was not that simple and Traveling Doctor Liu had stayed in Fei Yang Kingdom for more than a year's ti, so it was ti for him to go around again. Though, Kuang Shen felt that he still needed to learn a lot.
"During this ti, Kuang Shen will stay with Chen Yuan." Traveling Doctor Liu looked at his disciple. "Make sure you don't anger her."
"Master, are you looking down on ?" Kuang Shen was speechless. He was not that idiot so as to make trouble for Chen Yuan. If he dared to do so, his senior sister wouldn't hesitant to use the needles to make him regret for his entire life.
Inside the hut, Chen Yuan was playing with the flute in her hand. She was leaning sideways and yawned lazily. "Master, you should just say the real reason."
"Real reason?"
"There'll be tension between Fei Yang Kingdom and Wei Da Kingdom while Zhang Xu Kingdom would be having an agreent with Fei Yang Kingdom. Why should he stay in either one of the three kingdoms when he can escape to the other one?"
Kuang Shen: "…"
Shan Yu: "…" as expected of Chen Yuan.
Nan Hua looked at her master but said nothing. Her senior sister rarely said anything clearly, but she could guess what she wanted to say. In the first place, Fei Yang Kingdom bordered three kingdoms.
His tenth disciple must have co from Shi Long Kingdom, the kingdom that was located west of Fei Yang Kingdom and also the biggest kingdom. It has the largest territory and during war, they really liked to bully with numbers.
Her grandfather had told her many tis that they should never ever fight with numbers when facing Shi Long Kingdom.
Not a single one of the other kingdoms was as big as that kingdom.
*cough*
"What are you talking about? I don't have any intention of getting involved in the war is true, but I'm not running away!" Traveling Doctor Liu said righteously.
Chen Yuan seed lazy to respond as she simply put down the flute in her hand to the table. "You're avoiding dispute, Master."
"Whatever. You can stay here and research the herbs. I have prepared enough for a year, so I'm going first. Also, Hua'er, here are so books for you to study." Traveling Doctor Liu handed two scrolls to Nan Hua before he stord out.
Shan Yu sighed as if he had long used with Traveling Doctor Liu's childishness. He naturally knew that Traveling Doctor Liu simply avoided the kingdom that was engaging in war if it was possible.
After all, he didn't want to be pushed to either side.
"Senior Sister Chen, are you also interested in the upcoming conflict?" Nan Hua asked softly as she put the books away.
Chen Yuan stood up slowly and lazily. Her lips curled up to form a devilish smile. Even though her eyes kept closed, she looked very different in this mont. It was as if the slumbering person had woken up in this very mont.
"No. What you feared will not happen." Chen Yuan then tapped the table. "The lesson will start now."
"Yes."
Kuang Shen was a bit confused as to what Chen Yuan ant but Nan Hua's eyes flashed a bit. As she had expected, Chen Yuan was truly watching and involved in so matters. Though, she was not worried of anything.
…
The days passed by quietly. Nan Hua was originally planning to pay a surprise visit to the Dark Moon Organization but changed her mind in the last mont. She would wait until there was a better chance, which was the day when Princess Yue arrived in Wind City.
The carriage that delivered her was fast as it didn't even take three days for news about her arrival to reach the people in Wind City.
"Did she even enjoy Lantern Festival?" Nan Luo couldn't help but ask when he saw his first uncle ready to receive Princess Yue.
Nan Hua's eyes flashed. She tugged his sleeve. "Let's go to the wall."
"Alright."
Feng Ao Si furrowed his eyebrows. "Luo, didn't you say that you will accompany to practice today?"
"Let's postpone it later. I'm a bit curious as to what kind of crowd will co with Princess Yue.
"General Chi is the one responsible for the second stage.." Feng Ao Kuai passed a look at his older brother who must have forgotten about this information.
