318 [Bonus chapter]Stop Making Us Worry

"Mhm."

Nan Hua's voice was still soft and faint. It sounded so weak that one would instinctively feel that they were not doing a good job in protecting her. Wanting to embrace her deeply and make sure that there was nothing wrong that could happen to her.

Chen Yuan stopped in her track. "You can sleep now."

Sleep.

Even when Nan Hua was sleeping, she was still keeping her guard up. There was no way anyone could possibly make her lower her guard in front of them. When she was resting, her body would instinctively move and attack if she felt threatened.

When was the last time she slept peacefully?

Nan Hua couldn't remember anymore.

Every single day, she never slept too deep. Even when she came here and started to treat her grandfather and her twin brother as her family member, she was still keeping her guard up when she was sleeping. There were too many dangers around her that it was impossible for her for put her guard down at all.

No matter how tired she was, be it physically or mentally, her body was trained to keep its guard up all the time.

"Yes, Senior Sister Chen."

Despite agreeing, Nan Hua knew that she would not be able to sleep deeply. She closed her eyes and sleep.

Chen Yuan walked out of the room and handed the bowl that contained the black blood. "The poison is purged. She just need to rest and will be able to wake up naturally in the afternoon or evening."

"Thank you Doctor Chen." Old Master Nan was relieved.

"Will there be any side effect?" Nan Luo asked worriedly. This was something that he was more worried about.

"There won't be any." Chen Yuan shook her head softly. Her eyes were closed while her stick was used to walk. She paused for a moment. "Winter had just passed and Wind City is colder than the Capital City. It'll be better for her to stay warm so that she can heal quickly."

Behind Chen Yuan, Kuang Shen nearly vomited when he heard that. Since when it was possible for one to recover faster when they were in warmer area if they were poisoned? Wasn't that condition only applied to open wound?

But of course, Kuang Shen didn't say anything.

He didn't know what kind of poison afflicted Nan Hua, so he was not in the position to say anything.

Soon, Chen Yuan and Kuang Shen left.

Old Master Nan looked at the two of them and waved his hand. "Come to my temporary study room."

"Yes, Grandfather."

The three children were all already very tired. Since they were no longer worried, they definitely felt the fatigue even more. Right now, they would no doubt fall asleep right away if they were to hit the bed.

However, if their grandfather wanted to talk, they would naturally summon whatever strength left in them in order to stay awake for as long as they could. After all, Old Master Nan had already given them hellish training that would allow them to stay alert even if they were tired.

Before the situation was confirmed save, they should never ever relax.

Even a moment of carelessness could cost them their life.

Old Master Nan took a seat before looking at the three children in front of him. He sighed. "I would like you to explain why you didn't tell me the things that happened to Princess Yue also impact Hua'er."

Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows. Just as he was about to answer, Feng Ao Kuai defeated him to it.

"Finding Hua'er is the prioritize. At the same time, I can't possibly make you worry about this, Grandfather." Feng Ao Kuai looked at his grandfather with resolute gaze. He knew that his grandfather was displeased. After all, the number of forces that Old Master Nan could summon was several magnitudes bigger than him.

However, Old Master Nan was no longer young.

He wouldn't be able to take it if he were to hear that his granddaughter was kidnapped along with the people who kidnapped Princess Yue. It was the same as making their grandfather more worried.

Thus, Feng Ao Kuai didn't want to make him worry.

Old Master Nan narrowed his eyes. "Whose idea is this?"

"It's mine." Feng Ao Kuai was calm.

"What are you talking about? I'm the one who suggest it," Nan Luo chirped in. No matter how frivolous he usually looked like, he was very solemn right now. He looked at his grandfather calmly. "Brother Ao Kuai has the same mind as me, we didn't want to make you worry."

Feng Ao Si shook his head. "I'm the one who thinks that way. Grandfather is sick and wouldn't be able to handle it if we send the message!"

Feng Ao Kuai arched his eyebrows. He didn't think that his older brother would also try to share the burden.

It was just…

The way he spoke was so crude. Those who didn't know better would think that he was cursing his grandfather to die earlier…. Even if he meant well, Feng Ao Kuai felt that he needed to lecture his older brother about the importance of phrasing his sentences better.

There was no need for him to so blunt!

Thwack!

As expected, Old Master Nan hit Feng Ao Si's head. "Nonsense! I'm still young and full of vigor!"

Feng Ao Si held his head and pursed his lips. He refused to say anything else but merely looked at his grandfather with his determined expression.

"Do you know you're wrong?" Old Master Nan swept his gaze at the three young brats in front of him.

The three of them were silent and looked back at their grandfather. Their gaze seemed to be saying that they would not admit that they were wrong because in their opinion, they were doing the right thing.

Even if time were to repeat once more, the three of them knew that they would repeat the same thing as before.
