Chapter 317 - You’re Not Alone

Chapter 317 – You’re Not Alone

Nan Luo was feeling extremely guilty when he saw his grandfather's gaze on him. Nan Hua was already brought back to her room and Xiao Yun changed her dress for her while Nan Luo stayed outside.

Feng Ao Si was also there and he could only stand stiffly.

Old Master Nan's expression was terrifying.

In the first place, neither one of them wanted to let Old Master Nan knew about this incident. After all, with Nan Hua in such condition, it would be a wonder if she didn't cause heartache and worry.

As expected, Old Master Nan nearly flew into rage.

His face was exceedingly dark as he waited for Chen Yuan to come.

"We'll talk later."

"Yes, Grandfather."

Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter and felt that she really couldn't stay silent. Just not long ago, she was already making him so worried that he couldn't sleep for the night. And now, she was letting herself getting kidnapped along with Princess Yue.

He didn't care about that princess whatsoever. This incident involved his granddaughter's safety!

Thankfully, he only felt strange when the children hadn't returned when it was close to midnight. Not long afterwards, there was a messenger from Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai, telling him about what had happened to Nan Hua and that they were going back soon with her.

He didn't have a chance to be angry or panic.

Hou Lin was the one who go back earlier to tell everything to him, so Old Master Nan sent Hou Liang to guard the children on their way back while waiting here. He couldn't go back to sleep, so he could only stay here and waited.

Waited for them to return.

It was an anxious waiting as Old Master Nan was utterly worried that something would happen to the children on their way back. Thankfully, nothing happened and they go back safely.

However, seeing the blood on his grandchildren caused Old Master Nan to worry once more.

"We're not wounded!"

It was only after Feng Ao Si yelled that did Old Master Nan asked Xiao Yun to clean Nan Hua up and let her sleep. Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si could only wait on the side for the result of the examination.

"Doctor Chen, you're here." Old Master Nan saw Chen Yuan and restrained his rage and worry. He looked at Chen Yuan and Kuang Shen, who followed Chen Yuan here. Even though the boy was trying his best to be inconspicuous, he still could notice him coming along.

Chen Yuan nodded. Her hand was still carrying the flute while the other hand was using the stick. Her own bag was carried by Kuang Shen beside her.

"What's the issue?"

"Hua'er inhale a lot of some powder that can make you sleep for a long time. Until now both she and Princess Yue are still unconscious," Nan Luo was the one to explain.

Chen Yuan walked into the room and used the stick.

"Senior Sister, she's at the right side."

"Mhm."

Walking to the edge of the bed, Chen Yuan silently stretched her hand and touched Nan Hua's hand. The young girl's temperature was so cold that it was a bit worrying. Chen Yuan said nothing and proceeded to sense her pulse.

Her frown turned deeper when she sensed it.

"I need to push the poison out of her body. Kuang Shen, wait outside."

Kuang Shen nodded and walked out of the room obediently. He knew very well that it would be inappropriate for him to stand inside when Chen Yuan was treating Nan Hua. But when he came out, what greeted him was the sight of three people with dark expression.

'I shouldn't have come here.'

Though, Kuang Shen restrained whatever thought he had and retreated to the side. He knew that he would have to wait here. There was no way he would admit that he was not sleeping at all when waiting and rushed out when he heard that someone called for Chen Yuan.

"Hua'er." Chen Yuan's voice was soft as she raised her head to look in the direction of Nan Hua's face. If one didn't know better, they would never know that she was blind with how precise her action was. "I know you're not sleeping."

Nan Hua opened her eyes and looked at her senior sister. Her voice was weak and soft, "Senior Sister Chen."

She was indeed not sleeping at all. Even though her body was so weak and that her head hurt so much, she still forced herself to stay awake. It was not easy as it required her to use almost all of her willpower just to maintain this state of hers.

Chen Yuan took out several needles and began to use it with precision. Her dark grey pupil seemed to be able to see but at the same time, it was not. It was a weird sight.

"You're not alone, Junior Sister Hua."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes as she watched the black blood being forced out of her. She knew that she was not supposed to talk at all during this process.

"Master is going back."

After Chen Yuan retrieved the needles, Nan Hua knew that she felt much better. However, the amount of that poison inside her body was indeed a bit worrying before it was all forced out by Chen Yuan.

"Why?" Nan Hua watched Chen Yuan intently.

"You still need protection." Chen Yuan tapped Nan Hua's hand softly. "Trusting someone else with your life is not easy, but know that you don't have to do everything on your own."

Nan Hua was silent. She was used to do things on her own because almost all of her mission would require her to do it by herself. And trusting someone else with her life… was not something that she could do.

Her body instinctively refused to do it.

"Take your time." Chen Yuan didn't know why but she felt that the young girl in front of her was mentally fragile.. She was clearly someone strong judging by how she could protect herself well, but her inside was still as fragile as glass.
