"What should I do, Ah Yu?"
"Master, how about if we go back?" Shan Yu asked.
Traveling Doctor Liu looked at his disciple before he nodded. "That's right, go get a carriage! I can't walk too fast! We have to hurry before something happen to her."
Shan Yu: "…" Master, just say that you want to be the one to rescue her.
Though, Lin Family is at the opposite direction from the direction they took right now.
"What are you looking at? Go get the carriage!"
Traveling Doctor Liu snorted when he saw Shan Yu didn't act directly. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried. Even though Nan Hua had great skill, she was still a little girl who was barely 10 years old.
Would she be fine if there were malicious people around her?
He really shouldn't have left her in Chen Yuan's care. That ninth disciple of his couldn't be depended upon.
Not long afterwards, Shan Yu found the carriage and then they rushed back to Wind City. At this speed, they should be able to reach the city by tomorrow morning. Hopefully, it wouldn't be too late by then.
Kuang Shen was listening to Chen Yuan's lecture when there was a person coming and said a few words to Chen Yuan. He didn't know what they were talking about, but Chen Yuan frowned when she heard that.
"Senior Sister Chen?"
"It's been confirmed that Junior Sister Hua is kidnapped along with Princess Yue." Chen Yuan's tone was filled with reproach when she uttered that. She sighed. "She's another troublemaker like that brat."
Kuang Shen blinked his eyes. "Uh, what do you mean, Senior Sister Chen?"
Chen Yuan didn't directly reply but her lips curled up to form a mischievous smile. "Master's luck hasn't been good lately. His disciples are all creating trouble for him one after another."
Even after he was already this old, his disciples still didn't seem like they would allow him to relax. They were still creating trouble left and right, making it hard for him and their senior brothers.
But thinking about it now, Chen Yuan knew that she was also such a troublemaker before she managed to grow her own forces and no longer had to do everything on her own. Now, all she had to do was to relax and did what she wanted.
In the past… a life would have been nothing more than a pipe dream.
"The three of you are still very young." Chen Yuan tapped the table. "I wonder how much trouble will you cause Master in the future, Junior Brother Kuang."
Kuang Shen was speechless. What did she mean that the three of them were young? Based on the way it looked like, Chen Yuan was only a few years older than him. In fact, Chen Yuan shouldn't even reach 20 years old yet, right?
She might be a bit too old for marriage by women's standard, but she was by no means that much older than him.
Compared to Nan Hua, she was indeed much older.
"I'm not creating trouble."
"Your conflict with Junior Sister Hua is already one conflict." Chen Yuan chuckled.
This time, Kuang Shen couldn't say anything more. He was certainly unwilling to make his Master worry, but how could he possibly get close with Nan Hua when he knew that her father was the one who caused him to be an orphan? He couldn't do it.
Chen Yuan didn't seem to be expecting Kuang Shen to answer. "Don't worry, you're not the only one. Master keep on encountering disciples who are at odds with one another. It's just, you're not lucky enough to witness their frontal battle back then."
In fact, Chen Yuan actually wanted to ask Traveling Doctor Liu about his requirement to pick disciple. Almost all of them have conflict with one another. Some of them even have conflict with more than one disciple.
This was what caused them to be unable to stay together and often stayed separated in different kingdoms to live their lives.
"How you settle it is ultimately your decision. No one will interfere."
The tone when Chen Yuan said that was somewhat low. Kuang Shen looked at his senior sister and nodded faintly. He had heard from Shan Yu that Traveling Doctor Liu only accepted ninth senior a few years ago while the last disciple he accepted previously was more than a decade away.
There was such a long gap between the time of his last time accepting disciple until he got another one.
There must be something that happened during that period of time.
"Your Junior Sister should be fine." Chen Yuan tapped the table. "Your focus now is to study, Kuang Shen."
"He'll come back soon."
Kuang Shen smiled bitterly. Indeed, how could Traveling Doctor Liu not go back when he heard that his disciple was in danger? Though, he was thinking whether Traveling Doctor Liu would do the same if it was him.
"Master cares for all of us the same. It's also because of this that he'll not interfere when we clash because of our background. If our clash is related to medicine, he will usually participate, though."
The two of them no longer spoke about this matter and continued their lesson as usual. On the other hand, it was extremely chaotic outside.
"How are you so sure?" Nan Luo asked. He was still anxious as adrenaline pumped in his body while following Long Qian Xing's lead.
"This is the main road. If they're heading to Zhang Xu Kingdom, they should use the main road." Feng Ao Si pointed at the main road.
Nan Luo furrowed his eyebrows. "But the main road is turning around from time to time."
"We'll split." Feng Ao Si looked at the back where there were a lot of soldiers. "I'll go on the main road with Young Commander Long while you two took the forest route."
