Chapter 242 – News From Feng Family
"Are you done?" Old Master Nan was watching Feng Ao Kuai and Nan Luo sparred when he saw Traveling Doctor Liu came out.
Traveling Doctor Liu nodded. He glanced at the field and arched his eyebrows. "I didn't expect to see you still train your descendants this late at night."
"They have to train so that they can pour their excess energy into something useful." Old Master Nan scoffed, not bothering at all with his speech. Living with the soldiers most of the time, he didn't usually filter his speech and only when he was with other officials would he speak carefully.
"Do you also train Nan Hua this way?"
"No way! Her training is mostly based on what she wanted to learn." Old Master Nan couldn't bear the thought of putting Nan Hua in hardship, so he always arranged Nan Hua's training to be the lightest.
"Is that so?"
"What is it?"
The expression on Traveling Doctor Liu didn't look normal. Old Master Nan had interacted with Traveling Doctor Liu countless times in the past. It could be said that he knew a bit about this annoying doctor.
Traveling Doctor Liu glanced at Old Master Nan. "Her pain tolerance is even better than you when you're young."
Old Master Nan was speechless.
When he was young, he did get injured badly and have Traveling Doctor treated him. But because it had to be done when he was awake, he ended up screaming a lot and nearly thrashed his entire residence.
That incident was definitely a black mark in his life.
"Wait, what did you give to her?"
"Medicinal bath. You know which one."
Old Master Nan blinked his eyes in surprise. Ning Shu Pavilion was located not far from Nan Hua's quarter, so if she screamed, he should have been able to hear it. However, he didn't hear her scream at all.
Upon realizing that, Old Master Nan's face darkened.
"That's why I'm a bit curious." Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Old Master Nan and smiled faintly. "If it's not you, who could possibly train her until her pain tolerance is so high?"
"Nan Shu Cheng."
"That idiot official?"
Old Master Nan scoffed. "Just figure out things by yourself. I won't be seeing you out."
Traveling Doctor Liu laughed when he saw Old Master Nan acting so hostile. However, for someone like him, that sentence was indeed more than enough. He was not stupid and had clearly heard many types of news upon staying in the Capital City.
After walking for a bit, he eventually returned. He looked at his third disciple, who looked exasperated. "What is it, Ah Yu?"
"Master, can you please warn me before asking fifth junior to move?" Shan Yu sighed. Different from him and other disciples, their master's fifth junior was a shadow guard. While he also learned some medicine, he spent most of his time to monitor their master from a distance to protect him.
Traveling Doctor Liu laughed. "It just proved that a lot of people want to have my head."
"Master, is it something to be proud about?"
Shan Yu was helpless at his master's words. Not to mention, his Master was not getting any younger. They would find it hard to continue traveling with him already being quite old.
Kuang Sheng pushed the door and walked inside. His complexion was a bit pale after enduring the pain from the medicinal bath. He was startled upon seeing Traveling Doctor Liu, but he quickly cupped his fist to greet him.
"Master."
"You did well in enduring." Traveling Doctor Liu could see that Kuang Shen was getting better and nodded. "After you have built enough stamina, I'll let you follow me around when I'm treating patients."
"Yes, Master."
Seeing the young boy still looked conflicted, Traveling Doctor Liu could only smile helplessly. "Whatever problems you have with each other, settle it yourselves."
"Yes, Master."
Shan Yu watched from the back and shook his head. He would not want to get involved. It would be better for their two youngest junior to settle this problem by themselves. Come to think about it, the others also came from various background…
Some of them still hadn't settled their problems.
He could only hope that they would not end up pointing swords to each other's neck.
…
The days passed quietly.
It was soon the midwinter and the temperature grew colder. Nan Luo was wondering when Feng Ao Si would return since it would be one month soon enough when his grandfather called for them.
"Grandfather, what is it?"
"There's news from Feng Family." Old Master Nan looked at Feng Ao Kuai. "Your mother is sick."
Feng Ao Kuai's expression changed almost immediately. There was a murderous and worried aura around him. "Grandfather, I would like to return to Feng Family immediately."
"We're going to depart soon. Pack your belongings."
"Yes, Grandfather."
The three children quickly went to their quarter. Nan Hua arranged Xiao Yun and Mu Yan to follow her while Chu Yue and Ran would stay behind. They were tasked to keep the quarter clean for this time period.
As they rushed out, Traveling Doctor Liu somehow got wind of this and also prepared a carriage to go.
Thus, the two groups met right outside the city gate.
"Master, you're coming?" Nan Hua asked in surprise.
Traveling Doctor Liu laughed. "The Capital City is a bit too dirty, so I think it's quite good for me to get some fresh air."
Shan Yu, who was riding horse nearby, nearly rolled his eyes. His master was simply using this excuse to leave the Capital City because some people had caught wind of his location. He originally didn't wish to leave because Nan Hua was in the Capital City and he wanted to teach her a lot.
Now that she left, he would naturally follow suit.
Inside the carriage with Traveling Doctor Liu was Kuang Shen.. He looked at the other carriage before turning his head around to the other side. There was no way he wanted to have any interaction with anyone from Nan Family!
