1107 Future Path

Hmm?

It was then Feng Ao Si recalled that Nan Luo was recently promoted to become a 2000 men commander due to his contribution at the battlefield. However, some people were still a bit dissatisfied with this brat's rapid promotion even though they hadn't said anything yet.

After all, Nan Luo was only 16 years old yet he had become a 2000 men commander.

That was a high rank considering his young age.

Because of that, it was estimated that Nan Luo wouldn't be able to get any other promotion in near time. But it was already more than enough for Nan Luo to show Feng Ao Si that he was slowly catching up to him.

Feng Ao Si felt sweat on his back.

He was also only 2000 men commander at this time but he was actually 4 years older than his cousin and 3 years older than his younger brother.

Both his younger brother and younger cousin were already chasing after him.

He wanted to cry.

Did they really have to be so capable?

They still have a long way to go in their future, right? They didn't need to be in such a hurry, ah!

Feng Ao Si felt miserable when he thought that he was family members of these monsters who kept on breaking the record of youngest commanders.

"I'll... stay ahead!"

Nan Luo scoffed. That was what Feng Ao Si said back then, but now it looked like Feng Ao Si was already feeling that it was difficult. However, Nan Luo had no intention of making things difficult for his older cousin.

In any case, he just wanted to see how far his older cousin would be able to go with an additional pressure.

He knew himself well.

The earliest he would be able to get another promotion would probably in two years.

His grandfather wouldn't want to see him getting promoted so rapidly either because it would cause his growth to be unstable.

That was why Nan Luo was also not in a hurry.

Being a commander is a position with heavy responsibility. Before he had the ability to grasp the position firmly, he wouldn't try to hasten his growth and grab what he couldn't get.

He didn't want to die yet either.

He would just wait for the opportunity to come while honing his strength as much as possible.

"You didn't sound like your name, Brother Ao Si. Shouldn't you be prouder and more unyielding?" Nan Luo asked curiously.

Ao in his cousin's name meant proud or unyielding. Si in Feng Ao Si's name meant blessing, which might be because his aunt thought that having a child was a blessing. If the two words were combined, it still meant proud.

That was why Nan Luo said that.

Feng Ao Si rolled his eyes. "Just see, I'm going to advance in ranks faster!"

He really wanted to diss his younger cousin using the latter's name too. But when he thought about his qualification, he decided not to do that or he would be the one that was embarrassed.

Only his younger brother would have the qualification to diss Nan Luo.

Kreet!

The door opened and Wei Mu Qing walked out. She looked tired, yet there was a bright light within her eyes. After following Nan Hua's instruction when treating the young lady, Wei Mu Qing had also learned a lot.

This made her respect the patient a lot.

Unfortunately, Nan Hua was too tired and after the treatment was done, she fell asleep. The sleep was not deep as Nan Hua could still wake up should there be a danger near her, but at the very least, she was resting.

Wei Mu Qing didn't have the heart to disturb the patient either.

So she quietly walked out of the room.

Who would have thought the door was actually noisier than her?

She began to berate the owner of this inn inside her mind. Taking a glance inside, she was glad to see that Nan Hua was still lying on the bed with her eyes closed. It didn't seem to have disturbed Nan Hua at all.

Slowly, Wei Mu Qing closed the door.

"Apprentice Doctor Wei, many thanks for helping my adjutant." Nan Luo cupped his fist.

Wei Mu Qing raised her head and smiled faintly. "Young Commander Nan is too polite. This little one is merely helping the patient because it's my duty."

With Wei Mu Qing was only 12 years old, she was a bit shorter than Nan Luo. This made her had to raise her head if she wanted to look at him directly.

Nan Luo heaved a sigh of relief. "About this matter..."

"Young Commander Nan didn't need to worry about it. I will not speak to anyone about this." Wei Mu Qing paused for a moment then smiled faintly. "If Young Commander Nan couldn't trust this young lady, you may assign someone to watch over me in secret. As long as the soldiers under Father didn't know, he wouldn't be offended."

Feng Ao Si's eyes widened in surprise.

If only the one in front of him was not an outsider but instead someone he knew well, he would have long hung his mouth open. He couldn't believe that there was someone who would dare to propose something like that so openly.

Did she even know what she was talking about?

Even Nan Luo was taken aback.

However, he would not do something like that to someone whom he had asked for a favor. He shook his head. "Second Young Miss Wei is joking. There's no way I can do anything like that."

Wei Mu Qing raised her hand to cover her mouth. This young man was really not bad. "Since I have already finished the treatment, I'll take my leave first. The patient has better medical expertise than me, but if she required help, I'll come forward to assist. All you need to do is to ask someone to call for me, Young Commander Nan."
