Novel Full Chapter 1185 Farewell
But even with that record, will they able to find Yu Zheng Xi?𝑶𝗏𝗅xt.𝗰𝑶𝑀
No one would bother trying to find him now that he was already so old. He knew that he no longer had any value left, so Yu Zheng Xi knew that he could slowly relax and figured out the kind of life he wanted in the future.
Life without the burden of being chased.
Life without having to worry that Wei Da Kingdom will take him back.
Life where he could finally be free.
Nan Hua looked at her senior brother with her pitch black eyes. “Are you going to finally settle down?”
“Settle down?” Yu Zheng Xi repeated the question. He thought about his life so far and then laughed lightly. “Not yet.”
“Are you worried about Master?”
“You can say that.” Yu Zheng Xi looked at Nan Hua.
It would be a lie if he said that he himself had never thought of settling down, finding a wife, and live a comfortable life without worrying about many things. All he had to do was to worry about the work he was doing, whether the money is enough to eat, and then returned to a warm home.
But he was no longer young.
That dream had long been washed away in the tide of time.
“I’m 48 years old this year.” Yu Zheng Xi glanced at Nan Hua. “Do you really think such an old man will have a chance to settle down?”
Nan Hua looked at Yu Zheng Xi. He did have a lot of wrinkles that represent his aging condition. However, his hair was still black without any sign of aging. Perhaps, dealing with martial arts and medicine all these time had allowed him to grow old healthy.
In this era, people like him would normally had long married and might even have grandchildren. But he was still alone.
Walking in the thorny path by himself.
There were friends beside him, but they were not his partners who would truly accompany him for his entire life.
“Marriage is not just for the sake of having children. Having a partner who truly cares for you depends on fate. Perhaps, Heaven will be kinder to you, Fifth Senior Brother Yu.” Nan Hua curtsied in accordance to etiquette.
Yu Zheng Xi watched Nan Hua’s movement and for a moment recalled the days when he was in the palace. The women were all taught etiquette strictly and had to follow the set of rules that had been ingrained to their bones.
Those who didn’t follow the etiquette will be punished severely.
That was why Yu Zheng Xi was still familiar with their posture and movement.
If it was done correctly, the etiquette will look very pleasing to the eye. But if it was not done correctly, it would only look like a mess and nothing more than formality.
Looking at the way Nan Hua curtsying, Yu Zheng Xi knew that her movements were perfect. Even the little details were followed so strictly that even if she was wearing a man’s clothes, it didn’t change the fact that her movements were pleasing to the eye.
He smiled faintly.
Life is not just about one matter.
Even if Nan Hua was learning medicine, military, and even martial arts, she still followed the rules as the noble lady.
There was no rule that stated one can only learn one thing and focused on only one thing in their entire life.
“I’ll be leaving now. Master is on his way to Zhang Xu Kingdom and took the route not far from here. I have to return before he departs.” Yu Zheng Xi cupped his fist and walked to the entrance.
Nan Hua watched Yu Zheng Xi passed by and then at his departing back.
There were many routes towards Zhang Xu Kingdom that it was impossible for Traveling Doctor Liu to coincidentally pick this place. Not to mention, the flood hadn’t been completely solved even though the water level had already decreased after Long Qian Xing destroyed the ‘dam’ he built.
They purposely came here.
Perhaps, it was because Traveling Doctor Liu knew the knot in Yu Zheng Xi’s heart.
Nan Hua didn’t follow Yu Zheng Xi.
The next time she met with her master and other seniors would be when she departed to Zhang Xu Kingdom.
…
<Traveling Doctor Liu’s side, located not far from Wei Da Kingdom’s Capital City>
“Master, you can take some rest first. Junior Brother Yu will come back later,” Shan Yu said helplessly.
After finding out that Yu Zheng Xi had sneaked away, Traveling Doctor Liu insisted to wait for that disciple of his to come back. However, his old body clearly couldn’t be abused like this, so Shan Yu was worried that he will fall sick.
“I know my body better.” Traveling Doctor Liu waved his hand. “I’m still fairly young, so you don’t have to worry.”‘
Shan Yu: “…”
Looking at your white hair, who would say that you’re young?
However, Shan Yu kept his words inside his mind. Anyway, he knew that Traveling Doctor Liu was good at medicine and would take care of his body ever since he was young. After all, Traveling Doctor Liu’s goal when learning medicine was to live longer.
At least, it used to be.
Traveling Doctor Liu snorted and looked at the flooding city in front of him. He didn’t know much about war and strategy, but he had to say that this kind of method was quite unique. And it worked so well because of Wei Da Kingdom’s Capital City’s terrain.
If it was used in other cities… it might not work as well.
“That rascal better not cry and wail when he’s inside the city.”
Shan Yu’s lips twitched.
He really… couldn’t imagine the image of Yu Zheng Xi crying at all. No matter how much time had passed, that senior brother of his would not cry no matter what happened.
Oh wait, he did cry when he was cutting some onions when they were young since Traveling Doctor Liu punished him to cut 100 or so onions…
