Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Nan Hua was about to continue talking when she sensed a presence coming. She turned around and saw Shan Yu walking in their direction. From his appearance, he didn't look like he suffered at all.

Shan Yu was carrying his medical bag and dressed in his usual light blue robe. He looked to the front and his eyes showed surprise when he saw Nan Hua was there.

"Twelfth Junior Sister, you're here."

"I'm paying a short visit before I left with the army." Nan Hua's soldiers were all waiting in the camp nearby. Nan Hua told them to stay guarded with the reason that there might be still soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom nearby.

The soldiers were very obedient as they listened to her order.

"The army?" Shan Yu thought of Nan Hua's current identity and nodded in understanding. He thought about another matter and added, "Right, since you're here, help me to persuade your sworn older sister. I need to leave with Master…."

"She'll never agree." Traveling Doctor Liu snorted.

"Master, I…"

"You're still young and have a long future. Why are you insisting on following me all the time?" Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Shan Yu and narrowed his eyes. "Do you really think that I don't know what you're planning to do?"

Shan Yu looked at his master helplessly.

When he was young, he followed Traveling Doctor Liu and had seen many things. For him, Traveling Doctor Liu was already like his father. When he saw Traveling Doctor Liu having difficulties, he couldn't bear it and wanted to stay and helped Traveling Doctor Liu as much as possible.

Unfortunately, Traveling Doctor Liu didn't agree.

For Traveling Doctor Liu, Shan Yu was still young and it would be better for him to use his youth to achieve great things and find a wife.

Rather than taking care of his old bones.

Now that he saw someone who was interested in Shan Yu and this damned brat didn't seem to resist that much, he naturally didn't want Shan Yu to follow him anymore.

There were others who would be able to take care of him when he paid a visit to his Eldest disciple.

Traveling Doctor Liu didn't want to make Shan Yu cared for him for the rest of his life. 

"But Master, you…"

"I can take care of myself. If you're worried that my food is not the same as before, you can teach Yu Zheng Xi how to cook before I depart," Traveling Doctor Liu said simply.

Yu Zheng Xi glanced at Shan Yu as if asking, 'Is my cooking bad?'

While Yu Zheng Xi was not really a chef, his cooking was by no means bad. Not to mention, he had lived by himself for so many years and in the wilderness when he was following Traveling Doctor Liu, he had to cook by himself.

Without those b*stard chasing him hot on his heels, he naturally would also learn how to cook better. He didn't want to mistreat himself because of his experience and identity.

That was too annoying.

Shan Yu quickly shook his head. "That's not what I meant, Master. I'm more worried that you will be too busy…"

"Your Eldest Senior Disciple had a lot of disciples under him. If I want something, they can be the one to run the errand." Traveling Doctor Liu narrowed his eyes as if waiting for Shan Yu to start quibbling again. 

This was not the first time and Traveling Doctor Liu had already prepared several sets of answer whenever Shan Yu started to argue again.

"I still have a lot to learn…"

"When you go out by yourself, you can also learn by practicing. After staying by my side for almost three decades, do you still have the courage to say that you can't do it yourself? You're not a kid and I have no obligation to take care of yourself forever.

Shan Yu: "…"

Yu Zheng Xi listened at the side and clicked his tongue. He felt that his so called third senior brother was actually quite miserable at this time. 

Thankfully, he would not be pestered by his master to get married.

And with his age already advanced, there was no point for him to start a family. At most, he might end up adopting a kid to be his child or to accept a disciple in the future. 

But that was not something Yu Zheng Xi needed to worry for now. 

Listening at the side, Nan Hua began to wonder how many times they had done this. From the way Traveling Doctor Liu answered Shan Yu, it seemed that he had anticipated Shan Yu's answer even before Shan Yu made the question. 

"I don't really want to stay." In the end, Shan Yu pursed his lips and could only say that.

"You already have a wife here, so just stay with her."

Shan Yu nearly vomited when he heard what his master said. "Master, she's not my wife…."

"What do you mean she's not, huh? Do you think that I don't see what happened that day?" Traveling Doctor Liu snorted. It was not only Yu Zheng Xi who was there but also him, so he had also seen what happened. 

Shan Yu: "…"

Shan Yu felt that even if he jumped to the yellow river, it would be impossible for him to wash away the reputation he had built because of that incident.

This made him very helpless.

He wanted to explain, but no matter what he said, his master would never believe him. 

Shan Yu sighed.

"There's nothing that happened that day, Master."

Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Shan Yu with a disbelieving gaze. It was clear that no matter what Shan Yu said, Traveling Doctor Liu would never trust his words.

Nan Hua turned to look at Yu Zheng Xi. She doesn't believe if he said that nothing happened considering from her Master's tone. "What happened?"

"He come back with his clothes in tatters and…."

"YU ZHENG XI!"

Bang!

The two of them fell to the ground and began their 'battle.'

Nan Hua: "…" are you two a kid?
