?


    Nan Hua lowered her eyes, thinking about what Long Qian Xing said just now. She knew very well that the Emperor didn''t want Long Qian Xing to start making his breakthrough from the north either.


    After all, they would have to face Fan Yi Kingdom right away if they had to start from here.


    That would only put more pressure on themselves.


    The Emperor was not that stupid to provoke Fan Yi Kingdom just yet. Besides, there were still some skirmish under General Kai at the north border with Fan Yi Kingdom. For the time being, they would just ''trust'' him to guard the border.


    Though, it was impossible to fully trust this general who came from Wei Da Kingdom and only served them after Wei Da Kingdom''s fall.


    As for Yu Jin?


    This mountainous area is her home ground. She could easily defend this area as long as she wanted to after she had familiarized herself with it. Long Qian Xing''s presence this time was only to help Yu Jin so that she could conquer the mountains range faster and then left again.


    "Will youe with me?"


    "I…"


    Drap! Drap! Drap!


    "General Xing, there''s a doctor imed to be Traveling Doctor Liu here to pay a visit."


    Long Qian Xing was speechless and felt that this doctor''s timing was really bad. He nced at Nan Hua before waving his hand. "Tell him toe here."


    "Yes, General!"


    Nan Hua blinked her eyes.


    She knew that her Master was at the north of Zhang Xu Kingdom or might be at the south of Fan Yi Kingdom. As for his exact position, Nan Hua herself was not entirely sure because she didn''t watch over her Master all the time.


    Now, hearing that he had rushed over here… Nan Hua felt a bit guilty.


    The only reason why Traveling Doctor Liu would know that she was here would be if her Second Senior Sister Lin told him about her outrageous act at Lin Family Mountain.


    She was sure that Traveling Doctor Liu will rebuke her again.


    *Pat* *pat*


    Long Qian Xing raised his hand and patted Nan Hua''s head carefully. Her hair felt really soft and silky, making him want to touch it for a long time. Not to mention, having her stay beside him like this only made him sense her pleasant flowery smell that he didn''t know where it came from.


    Some women liked to wear fragrance pouch in various flowers or fruits smell. But he was sure that Nan Hua wouldn''t like to wear it that much because of her profession and the fact that she had been running around on the battlefield a lot.


    Men wouldn''t usually like it.


    Because the smell was a bit too annoying for them.


    But Long Qian Xing felt thating from Nan Hua, the smell was really pleasant for him.


    "General Xing, Traveling Doctor Liu is here."


    "Let him in."


    Traveling Doctor Liu grunted lightly and strode inside. Upon entering, he saw his little disciple standing beside Long Qian Xing while thetter was patting her head. Seeing her gesture and appearance, a trace of surprise shed within Traveling Doctor Liu''s eyes.


    He took a deep breath. "Let me check your pulse."


    "I already drank medicine…" Nan Hua responded weakly. The herbs that Long Qian Xing gave to her was concocted to make medicine not long ago. She had purged the poison first, so her body was basically fine.


    "Give me your hand," Traveling Doctor Liu repeated. His eyes were watching his disciple seriously.


    At this time, Nan Hua was not wearing any mask. However, she was dressed in male clothing, which made her look more like a flower boy. A very beautiful flower boy.


    Shan Yu followed Traveling Doctor Liu and walked inside only to be stumped by the sight of Nan Hua. He had always known that Nan Hua was beautiful during the time when Nan Hua paid short visit to Traveling Doctor Liu from time to time. But he only realized that he underestimated her growth.


    Her delicate features were even more enchanting now.


    No matter which angle he saw, he couldn''t really see Nan Hua as a boy despite her clothes. In fact, he was sure that if people said that Nan Hua in the current appearance is a boy, a lot of people would begin to doubt their orientation.


    Nan Hua stretched her hand towards Traveling Doctor Liu, resigning to her fate of being examined by her Master again.


    Traveling Doctor Liu checked Nan Hua''s pulse and furrowed his eyebrows. He looked at Nan Hua''splexion and then sighed. "You need to rest more. Most of the poisons are purged but there are some leftover in your body. You can leave it be so that your body can make the immunity."


    "Yes, Master." Nan Hua nodded obediently.


    Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Nan Hua and felt distressed. No matter what, this young woman is his disciple. But at the same time, Nan Hua had been fighting at the frontline and doing many things that most people would never be able to do in their entire lifetime.


    He felt really distressed for her.


    It was not her duty, but she wanted to do it because she could.


    Using her talent and ability to the fullest, she had already done so many things and exerted her body to the very limit.


    "I''ll give you some tonic." Traveling Doctor Liu then nced at the bedding on the ground. "Are you going to sleep here tonight?"


    "Yes, Master." Nan Hua blinked her eyes.


    Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Nan Hua''splexion and lightly patted Nan Hua''s hand. He never said it upfront because it would be awkward, but he also noticed Nan Hua''s faint reaction when she was with others.


    Her insecurity, distrust, and many others.


    But at this point, he could only feel it faintly. The current Nan Hua was slowly but surely opening herself up to the world.


    Though, she still looked quite cold on the surface.
