Chapter 88 Yun Shu Nian Runs Away to Find the Old Man

Mu Qi looked at Yun Shinian in disbelief, slowly reaching out to hold her hand with a tentative gesture.

However, the moment Mu Qi was about to touch her, Yun Shinian turned and walked away.

Mu Qi lowered his hand, which was still suspended in the air, and followed behind Yun Shinian.

"Young Madam, won't you have something to eat?" Aunt Ning, who had been pacing back and forth in the living room, hurried towards Yun Shinian as she saw her come in.

"No need, Aunt Ning. I'm not hungry. You should rest," Yun Shinian waved her hand and then returned to the master bedroom. Su Dan Fiction Network

"Young Master, what about this?" Aunt Ning pointed at the food on the table. Aunt Ning knew that if Yun Shinian didn't eat, Mu Qi probably wouldn't either.

"Go and rest. We'll clear it up tomorrow."

As Aunt Ning had expected, Mu Qi didn't even glance at the food on the table.

Aunt Ning sighed inwardly and returned to her room.

Mu Qi, however, walked to Yun Shinian's door. He dared not disturb her, yet he was reluctant to leave. Only by guarding here could he feel a little at ease.

It wasn't until the next morning, when Yun Shinian opened the door, that a flicker of light appeared in her dark, phoenix-like eyes.

Yun Shinian looked at the dispirited Mu Qi before her, paused, and then walked past him downstairs.

The memories of yesterday were too unpleasant. Yun Shinian didn't want to recall them now.

At the dining table, Mu Qi and Yun Shinian sat in silence. Yun Shinian no longer served food for Mu Qi.

Mu Qi also didn't serve food for Yun Shinian. He was afraid she would resist, afraid she would be frightened.

After Yun Shinian finished her breakfast and put down her chopsticks, she took a tissue to wipe her lips and then said, "Mu Qi, I want to go out today."

"Okay." Mu Qi pursed his lips. He hesitated for a long time, and it was only when Yun Shinian stood up to leave that Mu Qi agreed.

Yun Shinian's movements stopped, and she went upstairs to change her clothes.

An hour later, Yun Shinian's Maserati sped along the mountain road.

Yun Shinian held the steering wheel with one hand, glanced at the Bugatti following closely behind her, adjusted her sunglasses, and looked at the bend ahead, pressing the accelerator to the floor.

A dozen seconds later, Yun Shinian's red Maserati completely disappeared from sight in the mountain road.

What's going on? Just a good-for-nothing, yet she can drive so fast!

Shanguo hit the steering wheel in annoyance.

"I'm sorry, Young Master. I lost her." This was one of Shanguo's few mission failures.

"Young Master?" Shanguo's voice was cautious.

But as soon as Shanguo finished speaking, he heard a busy signal.

After shaking off Shanguo, Yun Shinian drove directly to another unknown small mountain.

Seeing the winding mountain road, Yun Shinian silently parked the car at the foot of the mountain and walked up the lush green mountain.

Up to the mountainside, a small wooden cabin stood before Yun Shinian.

The corners of Yun Shinian's lips curved upwards, and she walked in.

"Xiao Niannian, you're back!" an elderly man ran towards Yun Shinian excitedly.

If another elderly person were running towards Yun Shinian, she would probably worry about them tripping.

But this old man running towards her, she actually wanted to see who was faster.

This old man, whose name she didn't know, was someone she had met in her childhood. He had discovered her medical talent and insisted on taking her as a disciple.

The old man was quite persistent, so Yun Shinian learned from him for a few years.

"Do you remember how good your old master is?"

Seeing the old man's smug expression, Yun Shinian smiled and nodded.

This made the old man flattered.

The old man rubbed his nose and pulled Yun Shinian inside.

Because of Yun Shinian's arrival, the old man prepared four dishes and one soup.

Dry-fried green beans, stir-fried bok choy with mushrooms, braised shark fin, braised chicken, and fresh mushroom soup.

Yun Shinian raised an eyebrow and reached for the braised shark fin with her chopsticks.

"Mmm~" After so many years, eating the old man's cooking again, Yun Shinian still found it superb.

Refreshing and smooth, the characteristics of all the ingredients were brought to the fullest.

"It's delicious, isn't it, Xiao Niannian? If you study medicine with me, I'll cook it for you every day." The old man leaned forward, his features full of temptation.

"Cook for me every day? Then forget it." She would eventually return to Qi Yuan.

"Hmph." The old man pouted and was about to take away the dishes on the table.

He then put them back. Forget it, if this Xiao Niannian really didn't want to study medicine with him, it would be useless even if he took them away. Since they were already cooked, he might as well let her eat.

Yun Shinian glanced at the muttering old man before her, picked up a piece of food, and said casually, "However, studying medicine with you is possible."

"Xiao Niannian, what did you say? Say it again, you want to study medicine with me?" The old man jumped up excitedly.

Yun Shinian watched the old playful man who was entertaining himself, eating calmly.

"No, why did you suddenly agree? Did that brat bully you?" The old man suddenly realized and rushed in front of Yun Shinian to ask.

Yun Shinian took a few seconds to realize who the "brat" the old man was referring to was.

At that time, the old man had accidentally discovered her medical talent and treasured it like a gem. However, soon after, Zuo Nan, who professed his undying love for Yun Shinian, suddenly appeared.

Yun Shinian was momentarily infatuated with Zuo Nan, and the old man lost his treasure.

So, in the old man's memory, Yun Shinian still liked Zuo Nan, that beast in human form.

"How dare he bully my disciple? I'll beat him to a pulp," the old man said, immediately getting up to leave.

Yun Shinian reacted quickly and grabbed him.

First, because of her own grudges, she didn't want to disturb this old man who was living in seclusion.

Second, Yun Shinian didn't want to waste any more time on that scumbag Zuo Nan.

Yun Shinian: "It's not him."

"Then who is it? Good disciple, don't be afraid. Let Master beat him up for you." The old man was already swinging his axe.

"Oh, it's a matter between my husband and me. You don't need to interfere, Master."

"Husband?" The old man's eyes widened. After a few years, this little Niannian had already become someone's wife! Who dared to marry his disciple?

"Who is it?" The old man frowned, his thoughts heavy.

"His name is Mu Qi."

"Mu Qi?" The name sounded a little familiar.

Wait, what did his disciple just call him? A detail suddenly flashed in the old man's mind, and his eyes lit up.

"Good disciple, call me again."

Yun Shinian: "..." He really thought of things as they came.

"Old Man!" Yun Shinian's call of "Master" was loud enough that it echoed from a distance.

"No, no. You say Master with me~" The old man's mouth was wide open, as if teaching a baby to speak.

Yun Shinian: "..."

"Old Man!"

The old man: "..." This child can't be taught.

"Alright, Old Man. Let's go back, I'm sleepy." Yun Shinian yawned, covering her mouth, and walked towards the wooden house first.

The old man looked at Yun Shinian's retreating back, speechless again. He looked at the axe in his hand, then at the lazy Yun Shinian's back.

He sighed that human joys and sorrows are not shared.

Time flew by. As the sun set and stars appeared, Yun Shinian finally got enough sleep.

Looking at the dim room, Yun Shinian rubbed her eyes and got up to go out.

At this moment, the old man was meditating under the eaves. Seeing this, Yun Shinian picked up a chair and sat beside the old man.

The crickets in the surrounding grass chirped incessantly. Yun Shinian looked up at the bright stars in the sky.

If only Mu Qi were here. He was in the study every night. Yun Shinian suspected that Mu Qi had never seen the stars, let alone such bright ones.

However, as the memories of yesterday replayed in Yun Shinian's mind, her expression instantly turned cold.

"Xiao Niannian, a doctor's heart cannot be distracted. If you have any worries, you can tell Master, and Master can help you resolve them."

Yun Shinian looked at the old man and her lips curved upwards. "What? Curious?"

Alas! She saw through him. The old man's gaze flickered, and he quickly turned his head away.

With the old man's interruption, any thoughts in Yun Shinian's mind disappeared.

Yun Shinian looked up at the stars again, feeling much more relaxed.

"Xiao Niannian, do you still remember the Shennong Ben Cao Jing?" The old man straightened his crossed legs, looking at Yun Shinian as if she were a curious treasure.

Yun Shinian stretched, placed her hands behind her head, and fell backward.

The old man hastily placed his hand behind Yun Shinian's head, fearing that he might accidentally hurt his disciple's clever little head.

"The 'Record' states: If a physician has not studied for three generations, they should not prescribe their medicine..." Yun Shinian recited fluently, looking at the stars, her posture languid.

The old man completely squatted in front of Yun Shinian, listening intently as she recited the Shennong Ben Cao Jing.

Thus, Yun Shinian watched the stars and recited ancient texts for the old man half the night, only returning to the house to sleep for a while longer in the latter half of the night.

-------------------------------------

"Xiao Niannian, wake up quickly." In the morning, the old man propped his chin with one hand and poked Yun Shinian's arm with the other.

Seeing that Yun Shinian was still sleeping soundly, the old man suddenly clapped his hands, an idea forming.

He turned and walked to the water缸 outside, scooped a bowl of water with his hands, and tiptoed into Yun Shinian's room.

The old man cautiously approached Yun Shinian's window. Just as he was about to pour the water, he met Yun Shinian's clear, crescent-shaped eyes.
