"You're done?" Long Qian Xing turned around and saw Nan Hua walked to the side and put her clothes down. "What are you going to do with it?"

"Burn it."

Nan Hua cleared an area and then started fire for her clothes. She turned around and looked at Long Qian Xing. "Let's go."

"Ok. Long Ai Ning, you follow from the back."

"Yes, Young Master."

Long Qian Xing extended his hand and Nan Hua grabbed it. At this time, Long Qian Xing could feel Nan Hua's hand and realized that her hand was no longer as smooth as it used to be. It was even worse than when he held her hand back then.

Perhaps, because she no longer needed to care about the matter of women, she no longer used any medicine to keep her hand smooth.

Tep!

Sitting in front of Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "Wouldn't your soldier question it if I appear in front of them this way?"

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua, who had been talking much more lately. He smiled faintly. "Don't worry. No one would dare to do that in front of me."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes but was too lazy to say anything else. It was his reputation anyway. If there were any strange rumors, they would all come from Long Qian Xing instead of her.

"Don't let anyone come here for at least a day until the leftover poison dissipate."

"Yes!"

The other soldiers watched as Long Qian Xing left with Nan Hua.

At this time, Long Ai Ning was silently wondering why she was even here in the first place. She looked at the other soldiers bitterly. "Let's go back to the headquarter. I'll resume my work in the kitchen."

"Yes, Sister Ai."

Drap! Drap! Drap!

Sitting sideways in front of Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua could feel the wind clearer than yesterday. This time, she was no longer wrapped closely around Long Qian Xing but just sat in front of him.

"Long Xu is unrelated to you by blood?" Nan Hua asked.

"Yes," Long Qian Xing answered directly. "I have several servants who has their surname changed to Long. Two of them are Long Xu and his sister Long Ai Ning. They might have some guesses about your real identity, but you don't need to worry. They can be trusted."

Can be trusted.

Nan Hua blinked her eyes and slowly answered, "I can't trust people I'm not close with. But since you trust them, I'll believe your words."

Long Qian Xing's eyes flickered as he listened to Nan Hua's words.

There was unknown emotion brewing within his heart at this moment.

Even though Nan Hua's words were not very blunt, it was clear enough to tell him that she trusted him. How much she trusted was not clear, but Long Qian Xing knew that he had slowly taken another step closer.

"Okay," Long Qian Xing answered, his voice was low.

Nan Hua leaned on Long Qian Xing's broad chest. Before, her head was dizzy and all, but this time, she could faintly hear his heartbeat. She also noticed that his armor was somewhat different from others.

It seemed that he had silently reinforced his equipment to protect his life.

Thump! Thump!

Listening to the rhythmical heartbeat, Nan Hua closed her eyes. It felt warm and peaceful. At this time, Nan Hua was somewhat drowsy.

Slowly, she drifted to sleep.

Long Qian Xing looked at the young woman in his arm, his eyes reflected gentleness and warmth. He really wished that he could take Nan Hua away and kept on protecting her in his arm. But at the same time, he also understood that she was not a person who should be confined.

She should spread her wings and fly freely.

In that silence, the two figure slowly go towards the distance.

…

<Village at the Lin Family Mountain Foot>

The chaos in Lin Family yesterday had caused them to be unwilling to get out. They all knew that if they dared to offend the Lin Family, their ending wouldn't be much better than dying.

Since that was the case, they would rather stay silent and hide in their house.

That way, they would be able to rest.

That dawn, a figure slowly walked out of the Lin Family. Her movement was not fast, but those around her wouldn't be able to keep their consciousness the moment she made a move.

It was as if they were cursed to fall asleep.

Tep!

The woman, Lin Xia, stopped in front of a village house. It was dawn and with the recent war, the people were more unwilling to go out. Thus, the area was relatively quiet and empty.

She took a deep breath and called out, "Master."

Kreet!

Shan Yu walked out and looked at Lin Xia. "Senior Sister Lin, what brings you here today?"

"I would like to see Master," Lin Xia replied unhurriedly.

"Master is still sleeping. At his age, it's not easy to fall asleep again after waking up." Shan Yu showed an apologetic smile. He didn't want to disturb his Master unless it was absolutely necessary.

Lin Xia also knew that her Master was no longer young. She nodded in understanding and then walked towards the nearby chair.

Lin Family might be a medical family that was renowned.

But in turn, their education in terms of etiquette and so on were not great. The people in the Lin Family would only know the basic that was enough for them to not embarrass the family. As for the more complicated ones, they simply didn't care at all.

After sitting down, Lin Xia opened her mouth again. "How many disciples has Master accepted after he left Qi Xi Kingdom?"

Shan Yu arched his eyebrows. This senior sister of his was a person who usually didn't care about anything but research and plants. It was also because of this peculiarity that Traveling Doctor Liu was willing to accept her.

She was not like the others in Lin Family who wanted power and ability to control others.

"Five disciples. In total, there are 13 disciples under Master."
