These days Tianci has been working so hard, could it be because the Venerable is not well, hence he’s eager to teach Tianci everything he knows?
With this thought, Yun Jinnian suddenly stood up, "I’ll go see him!"
Elder Mu and Elder Tu’s eyes turned red, "Please, Saintess!"
If the Venerable was in Nanjiang, usually calming his mind and conserving his energy, living another decade or two really wouldn’t be a problem, but following us to the Capital City, with the change of environment and the additional worries, it’s been difficult for him.
He’s quite old now and indeed can’t withstand much, which is why he fell ill.
When Yun Jinnian arrived, the Venerable had already taken his medicine and gone to sleep.
Yun Jinnian watched him by the bedside.
When in Nanjiang, despite his age, he had an immortal aura, a ruddy complexion, which made him seem especially kind and harmonious.
The Venerable now looked much thinner, and his complexion was poor.
Yun Jinnian tucked him in and after leaving the room, she said to Elder Mu, "Send the Venerable back to Nanjiang. If he refuses to go, then let Tianci take him back. From now on, Tianci can stay by his side in Nanjiang. Tell him that since I promised to be the Saintess of the Moon-Watching Sect, I will do it wholeheartedly. I, Yun Jinnian, may be a woman, but I know the promise of a gentleman is not to be taken lightly. I hope he will live well, for when I have children in the future, they will still need his guidance!"
After Yun Jinnian finished, her eyes reddened, she raised her hand to wipe the corner of her eyes, but there were no tears.
Elder Mu and Elder Tu looked at each other and sighed, yet they were sincerely touched.
Yun Jinnian, though young, had a good heart.
She knew gratitude and how to repay it.
Many in the sect were against the Venerable coming to the Capital City, but considering Yun Jinnian was a Saintess who joined halfway and fearing she would neglect the Moon-Watching Sect upon returning to the Capital City, they had to let the Venerable accompany her.
Now that Yun Jinnian had asked for the Venerable to go back and had spoken such words, the sect members would likely be even more devoted in the future.
There were several reasons Yun Jinnian had for sending Tianci to Nanjiang.
First, she hoped Tianci could truly become accomplished. She knew how formidable the Venerable’s skills were.
Despite his age, Chu Yu could not last more than a few moves against him, which showed the deep foundation of his martial arts.
If Tianci were to receive his attentive instruction, becoming renowned far and wide would just be a matter of time.
Moreover, the best Blood Lotus was in Nanjiang, and being there, Tianci could consume it every day, which would be extremely good for his health.
The only difficulty was letting go.
Letting go of not being able to see him for a year or even several years.
Yun Jinnian thought about how to talk to Tianci, how to speak to her mother, how to explain to her maternal grandfather.
Han Tianci came running over with a beaming smile, "Sister!"
Seeing that Yun Jinnian’s eyes were somewhat reddened, he quickly asked,"Sister, what’s wrong? Have you been crying? Who has bullied you? I’ll take care of them for you!"
Yun Jinnian smiled and shook her head, "No one has bullied me. Tianci, come here, I have something to tell you!"
Yun Jinnian led Han Tianci to a nearby pavilion and sat down, with Han Tianci looking at her seriously.
So well-behaved and obedient.
"Tianci, do you know the Venerable is not in good health?"
"I know, that’s why these days I have been very diligent in my training, and I haven’t slacked off!"
Otherwise, he would have already run off to play with his sister.
"Tianci is really good!" Yun Jinnian rubbed Han Tianci’s head.
Han Tianci smiled and squinted his eyes, then asked, "Sister, is there something you want me to do?"
Yun Jinnian did not intend to hide anything from Han Tianci.
"Tell me, sister, I promise to complete the task!" Han Tianci said as he hugged Yun Jinnian’s arm and leaned on her shoulder. "Whatever sister wants me to do, I will do it well!"
In fact, he had already guessed some of it.
The Venerable was his master, and naturally, he hoped the old man would live a long life.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Sister, do you want me to escort the master back to Nanjiang and then take care of him in Nanjiang, continue to train in martial arts under him?"
