Chapter 293: Of the Same Root

After planning how to deal with Prince Lei Ting in his head, Shen Yan looked at the two men across from him and asked.

They did not dare to and could not inquire about their master. Since the Young Master had left the mountains, they knew their master’s status without asking. He had probably passed away.

However, their master had placed all his hopes on the Young Master. Even if he passed away, they would still be happy for him.

“Young Master is well,” the man in purple replied.

They had only seen the Young Master once, and it had been from afar. They glanced in the Young Master’s direction and only saw a hazy silhouette.

However, they also knew that she was well from Elder Huang, who sounded so proud when he talked about her.

“We’re here to deliver the prescription. Now that we have done that, we should take our leave.”

Elder Huang had warned them not to talk too much and reveal the Young Master’s whereabouts in front of Shen Yan and the other chiefs because they were more astute with age.

Since the Young Master did not want to go to the 18 Stockaded Villages, it meant that she did not want to expose her identity too early. Hence, they could not say anything about this.

Shen Yan looked at Qi Ye and instructed, “Good, good. Ah Ye, send the two esteemed guests off on behalf of your father and me.”

“Yes, Uncle Shen,” Qi Ye replied, turning to look at the two men. “Please.”

Everyone stood up and watched as Qi Ye led the two men out.

“Father, let me see the prescription.”

Shen Zhuxin could barely sit still anymore. If not for the fact that the two people sent by the Young Master were still around, she would have pounced on the prescription.

When they finally left, she quickly went to her father and asked for the prescription.

“Take it.”

Shen Yan handed the prescription to his daughter before looking at Er Ning and Qi Gu.

“Big Brother, why didn’t you ask where the Young Master is now?” Ai Qi looked regretful when he watched the two men leave.

Shen Yan looked at Ai Qi in amusement and suggested, “They haven’t gone far. Why don’t you ask them?”

“Hm?!” Ai Qi was taken aback and shook his head immediately. “Forget it. Young Master will appear when she wants to.”

“So you know that?”

Shen Yan rolled his eyes at Ai Qi. It was obvious that the Young Master did not want to see them so early. He would be disregarding her wishes if he asked where she was.

He was not one to go against the Young Master’s wishes.

“I can tell that the Young Master’s relationship with Prince Zhan Yun is extraordinary from those two men,” Qi Gu said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing that, the chiefs fell silent.

The 18 Stockaded Villages had never wanted to interact with the imperial court. However, that would change if the Young Master was involved with Prince Zhan Yun.

They wondered how the Young Master got involved with Qian Jiyun.

Shen Yan sighed internally and looked at his daughter.

“We can’t question anything about the Young Master. Right now… Zhuxin, if you have no disagreements with the prescription, go ahead and prepare the herbs according to it.”

They were from this country and guarded the border alongside Prince Zhan Yun. They were of the same root and were never unrelated in the first place.

“Father, what are you saying?”
