180 The Past (2)

The others were speechless when they heard them argued. They turned to look at the doctor, who was busy with the needles and felt a bit apologetic. Their poor family doctor was caught in the middle of their argument and failed to find the perfect time to escape.

"Grandmother, it's not good to be angry."

Hearing the soothing voice, Nan Hua turned her head to the back. She was surprised to see Long Qian Xing coming with Old Madam Long. He was supposed to be tired after the long journey and yet he still spared some time to visit Old Master Nan.

Old Madam Long snorted. "Do you think I want to be angry? If not because of this dunce over here, I wouldn't be so angry."

"General Nan is tired after the long journey. Grandmother, don't you think it's better for him to have some rest?" Long Qian Xing asked with a smile.

Nan Luo quickly chirped in, "That's right. Grandpa is tired from the long journey. Grandmother, don't you think it's better for Grandpa to rest and recover first? If you want to argue, it would be better to do it when Grandpa is healthy."

Old Master Nan was speechless.

Even though Nan Luo sounded as if he was trying to pacify them, the underlying message was that they should let him rest and postpone their war of words. It was as if there was nothing else they do aside from arguing with each other.

Old Madam Long was also speechless.

She shook her head and sighed. "You're right. Old man, since I'm already here, it's better for me to check on your pulse again."

"What do you mean? You're just going to make me drink that bitter medicine again?"

"It's for your health. Don't be such a stubborn old man."

"You…"

"Come on, you know that there's no one who's better at handling poison in the Capital City aside from me. Unless you can find that Ghost Doctor, you should just let me check on you."

"Damn it!" Old Master Nan still wanted to curse more, but he felt that it would be inappropriate. He sighed and let Old Madam Long inspected him and then asked the servants to prepare some medicine.

Long Qian Xing watched from the side. He looked at the young girl beside him and slowly patted her head. His gesture seemed to startle the young girl as she turned her head and looked at him with her large eyes.

"Don't worry. Old Master Nan will live a long life."

Nan Hua blinked her eyes then nodded. "Mhm."

"Brat, you shouldn't be calling him as Old Master Nan but as grandfather!" Old Madam Long was dissatisfied with her grandson's greetings. She wanted to hurry and have Nan Hua into her family, so she first have to make sure that Long Qian Xing also treated this annoying old man as his grandfather.

"What the hell! I don't want another grandson!" Old Master Nan refuted. "I already have the best grandson. I don't need yours."

"What do you mean? I'm not giving him to you! I'm just lending him!"

"I don't need it."

Long Qian Xing, who suddenly turned into unwanted child: "…"

At the side, Nan Luo and Feng Ao Si were already struggling to keep their laugh. This was the first time they ever saw their grandparents fought each other and the result was undoubtedly hilarious.

"Grandmother, since I'm already here, may I practice with Young Commander Feng instead?" Long Qian Xing asked while cupping his fist, looking all formal.

Feng Ao Si, who was laughing, suddenly stopped. He felt chills creeping from his back.

Nan Si Qiao waved her hand. "To be able to train with Young Commander Long should be a good opportunity for my son."

"In that case, you may go."

"Nan Luo, you should go too."

"Yes, Grandfather." Nan Luo looked at Long Qian Xing, who was still smiling, and felt his back chills too. For whatever reason, he felt that the smile was not exactly reassuring and instead made him felt afraid.

Feng Ao Kuai glanced at the two brats and silently lit a candle in his mind.

He naturally understood that Long Qian Xing wouldn't let them off for laughing at him. This young commander didn't want to suffer a loss.

Old Madam Long no longer spout nonsense as she seriously checked on Old Master Nan's pulse. It seemed that Old Master Nan also understood that he was not allowed to speak as he stayed silent.

After a while, Old Madam Long sighed. "How did you even attract them to attack you at this time?"

"They might be worried when they saw me with that annoying prime minister." Old Master Nan shrugged. "So, is there any method to cure it?"

"You're asking me to cure your lifelong ailments? You're overestimating me." Old Madam Long shook her head. She might be a doctor, but she was not the best doctor alone. All the skills she had was the result of following her husband to the battlefield and learnt from the doctors there.

Not many people knew her skills, but Old Master Nan obviously knew her skill.

After all, he was one of the closest friend of Old Master Long and often stayed over to drink together.

Old Master Long shook his head. "Hua'er, Ah Kuai, you two can wait outside. I'll be fine here with this madwoman."

"Who are you calling as madwoman?"

"Of course that's you."

Nan Hua and Feng Ao Kuai both bowed and left the room. Nan Si Qiao was still inside, feeling a bit helpless when she saw the two of them argued with each other again. It didn't seem like the battle would end anytime soon.

Feng Ao Kuai looked at Nan Hua. "Grandfather needs better doctor."

"He can't leak his condition." Nan Hua might not know everything, but she understood that Nan Family had a lot of enemies. If they found out that Old Master Nan was in weakened condition, they might attack them.

At that time, she and Nan Luo would be put in predicament.

Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. He looked at the room once more then shook his head.
