Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Qi Xue and rolled his eyes. “At the very least, he’s a proper doctor and not like you who has become a chef.”

Qi Xue heard her master’s evaluation and coughed lightly.

She couldn’t refute that.

Yu Zheng Xi shook his head and said, “Master has unique vision when selecting disciples… none of them are ordinary.”

Qi Xue stared blankly at Yu Zheng Xi.

She felt that Yu Zheng Xi was simply asking for troubles.

As she had expected, Traveling Doctor Liu looked at Yu Zheng Xi and said, “They should have been talented in medicine except you.”

Yu Zheng Xi: “…”

Nan Hua watched this scene and felt somewhat amused. No matter where they were, Yu Zheng Xi and Shan Yu were often teased by Traveling Doctor Liu. Now that there was no Shan Yu to bear the firepower, naturally Yu Zheng Xi became the sole target.

But Nan Hua could see that even if Yu Zheng Xi was being teased by his master, there was no anger from Yu Zheng Xi’s eyes. He just looked helpless and used to it.

“Master, finish your food first.” Qi Xue rubbed her forehead. She felt that if they continued talking, they would never finish this lunch.

“Yes.”

The four of them talked a bit more before Traveling Doctor Liu went back to rest. As much as he would like to talk more with Nan Hua, he was a bit tired.

“Yesterday, Master was developing a new medicine recipe and slept a bit late.” Yu Zheng Xi shrugged.

If it was not because of this, he would not suggest Traveling Doctor Liu to sleep and rest more today. The old man’s body was no longer as good as he used to be.

“I understand.” Nan Hua nodded.

She could see that Traveling Doctor Liu was not exactly in the best health anymore at his age. But when it came to medicine, Traveling Doctor Liu could forget about everything else and just focus on studying and all.

As the result, others had to be the one reminding Traveling Doctor Liu.

“Thankfully the materials ran out last night or Master might not be willing to rest at all,” Yu Zheng Xi added with a bitter smile.

Nan Hua: “…”

Qi Xue rolled her eyes. “You’re the one taking care of Master. If he tried to do something like that again, you should stop him.”

“Can you do that?” Yu Zheng Xi passed a look at Qi Xue.

“I can’t, but didn’t you spend more time with Master?” Qi Xue replied calmly and looked back at Yu Zheng Xi.

Yu Zheng Xi: “…” It’s true and he couldn’t refute it.

Looking at the two of them who had started to bicker again, Nan Hua blinked her eyes and felt that Traveling Doctor Liu’s disciples really have good relationship with each other.

“Come to my restaurant, Junior Sister,” Qi Xue changed the conversation and looked at Nan Hua. “I developed a lot of medicinal food recipes and you can help me to take a look at it. Of course, don’t eat them as I’m not sure if some of them have any bad effect for pregnant woman.”

She didn’t want to harm Nan Hua, so she didn’t dare to give them to her.

“Are the medicinal food’s medicinal effect so strong?” Nan Hua asked.

“No, it’s very mild. Long term consumption can help to increase one’s health,” Qi Xue replied. “But some dishes are targeted to specific purposes and if you try to eat several types of dishes without considering their compatibility, you might be hurt instead.”

After all, the line between medicine and poison was actually very narrow.

The same thing that could become medicine could also become poison when the amount was too much.

Qi Xue knew this very well.

Because her study in medicine was not very deep and she has only recently studied it again, she was not sure about some of them. Naturally, she could not let Nan Hua tasted them in fear that the chemical reaction would be bad for Nan Hua’s body.

Nan Hua nodded in understanding.

The two of them walked to the front and saw Long Qian Xing and Shi Hao Yi who were talking with each other.

“Eldest Senior Brother, General Xing.”

“Brother Long, Eldest Senior Brother.”

The two women greeted the two people who quickly greeted back. Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua with inquiry, asking whether she was done talking or not. Nan Hua shook her head slightly to tell Long Qin Xing that it was not done yet.

“I plan to take Twelfth Junior Sister to take a look at my restaurant,” Qi Xue said and looked at Shi Hao Yi. “Do you want to come along?”

“Your restaurant?” Shi Hao Yi repeated and looked at Qi Xue for a moment before shaking his head. “No need. I don’t have any interest to go there again.”

He had paid a visit and helped Qi Xue when settling the restaurant not long ago. There was no need to go there again.

“Ok.”

With that, only Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua, and Qi Xue were going to the restaurant. Their servants were naturally following from a certain distance.

“Have you made a lot of dishes, Sixth Senior Sister?” Nan Hua asked on their way. The distance was not that far from Shi Hao Yi’s clinic, so they took a walk instead of taking carriage.

Even though many nobles would prefer to go around in carriage, neither Long Qian Xing or Nan Hua actually cared that much about it.

“There are a few types of dishes.” Qi Xue smiled. “But I don’t make too many since I’m the only one who cooked now and when I’m visiting Master, I’ll close the restaurant…”

She did have some money from the jewelries that she brought from Qi Xi Kingdom, but those money were not be used to squander or anything like that. After all, Qi Xue planned to stay here for a long time.
