219 [Bonus chapter]Learning Officially

Feng Ao Kuai listened with surprise. He turned to look at Nan Hua as he didn't expect that his younger cousin would actually end up acknowledging a master.

"Hua'er, do you want to be a doctor in the future?"

"It's just convenient." Nan Hua dodged the question. She knew that Traveling Doctor Liu could roam around freely precisely because of his identity. Even though she didn't have any plan to misuse this identity as his disciple, she might have a good use of this identity in the future.

Traveling Doctor Liu saw her gaze and chuckled. "You can use the identity if you want. Not many people are guarded against doctors."

That was because if they were in danger, only doctors could save them.

Nan Hua knew that but she didn't say anything.

"Old Stinky Liu, do you really think that I'll allow my granddaughter to follow you around when you roam around? She's the daughter of General Nan of Fei Yang Kingdom. If she's in other territories, she can be used as war prisoners!" Old Master Nan roared angrily.

He would not mind if Nan Hua wanted to learn medicine. What he worried about was that people would know her identity and used it against her. How could he possibly stay silent when people were trying to scheme against his granddaughter and even kidnapped her for their own use?

Nan Hua looked at her grandfather, feeling strange warm feeling welling up in her heart. From time to time, this warmth last even longer each time it appeared that she started to like it. "Grandpa, I'm not leaving."

"Ah?"

"I did agree to be her master, but I also don't have any plan to take her away." Traveling Doctor Liu was amused when he saw Old Master Nan getting enraged. He naturally understood that those who were not born as commoner wouldn't be able to leave their house so easily.

That was the reason why he allowed them to stay in their home and didn't leave.

"Good. You better stay here and teach her well."

"I'll teach her how to treat you first." Traveling Doctor Liu smirked. "Your condition is common amongst older soldiers. This is because you didn't take care of your body enough when you're young and exert yourself a lot."

"I'm a normal man with dream! How can I possibly hold back when I'm facing my enemies on the battlefield?"

"Hua'er, feel his pulse and tell me what do you think."

"Yes, Master."

"Hua'er! Why are you listening to him more than your grandfather's words?"

In the end, there was nothing that Old Master Nan could do but to listen to the master and disciple in front of him. Even though he didn't like it that his granddaughter was taken away by this annoying old man, he could still accept this.

After all, he was not taking her away from this residence.

Nan Hua was learning seriously. She didn't want to misdiagnose her grandfather and possibly ended up worsening his condition. By now, she had learned some method to differentiate the sickness through the pulses by Traveling Doctor Liu.

By the side, Feng Ao Kuai was listening attentively in fear that he would miss something. He could only understand partially since he couldn't diagnose his grandfather on his own, but it was already more than enough.

"That should be enough for today. You can review your lesson." Traveling Doctor Liu looked at his disciple and laughed. "I'll introduce you to your seniors later. They'll help you to learn more things."

"Thank you, Master."

Traveling Doctor Liu walked out with a laugh, leaving Old Master Nan with his two grandchildren. The other two were still busy on the field as they were too afraid that their grandfather would suddenly punish them without any warning.

"Hua'er."

"Grandfather, you'll get better soon." Nan Hua had listened to her master and knew that Old Master Nan could recover fully. However, it would take time and given Old Master Nan schedule along with the possibility of him going to the frontline again, it might take even longer time.

It was unavoidable.

Old Master Nan sighed. "I'm not here to talk about that. Why are you taking such a huge risk for a small fry like that?"

Nan Hua blinked her eyes. "Grandfather can't make a move."

It was true.

Old Master Nan couldn't make a move against those small officials because it would disrupt the peace in the Capital City. There would be a lot of people who would want to take advantage of this should they hear it.

Thus, Nan Hua was the one who could do it without arousing any suspicions around her.

"It won't change anything." Old Master Nan looked at his granddaughter.

Feng Ao Kuai was the one who argued, "Grandfather, there are a lot of people who are already dissatisfied with him. Du Family wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer with his death right now. Do you still hope for the court to be in chaos?"

Of course not.

What Old Master Nan worried about was the fact that there were not many people to work for the Emperor. Many talented people were leaning towards the prime minister, leaving very few people who wanted to stay behind and followed Emperor Yang Zhou.

Even though there were a lot of talented people, they were causing internal war.

"Try not to get involved, Hua'er."

"I'm not doing anything." Nan Hua blinked her eyes innocently.

Old Master Nan: "…"

Why did he suddenly feel that his granddaughter was actually a master at hiding her real intentions?

"You can just leave the Justice Department handle everything."

"They won't do anything."

Du Family was big and most of them were people who were involved in politics. Nan Hua knew that if she wanted to make a report against that official, it would be useless. Just like a drop of water in the vast ocean.

It wouldn't even make any ripple whatsoever.

Old Master Nan was silent when he heard that.
