Chapter 474 I'm Not Looking for You
Zhong Manman didn't expect that she would be hit by a tree while running with her head down. She struggled to get up from the ground and wanted to curse, but saw Ma Weiwei and Chen Qinian running over.
"Manman, why is it you?" Ma Weiwei hurried over to help the person up.
Zhong Manman reacted quickly and only suffered a scratch on his forehead.
Ma Weiwei hurriedly found some hemostatic drugs and stopped the bleeding for Zhong Manman first.
"Why are you running here for no reason? If something happens to you, we will have to compensate you!" Chen Qinian blamed.
"I'm not here to see you!" Zhong Manman glared at Chen Qinian, then told him the purpose of his visit.
She thought that if she told them, they would want to go find Sister Xiaoxi as well, but neither of them said anything.
"Don't you think that's Sister Xiaoxi?" she asked anxiously.
Chen Qinian replied, "If it's really Master, she will come to us after she finishes what she's doing.
However, when we left, Master also said that he would have to treat his previous patients for the next year and would not come to the imperial capital for the time being."
Ma Weiwei glanced at Chen Qinian and wondered when her master had ever said such a thing.
However, she soon tacitly understood Chen Qinian's good intentions.
"Really?" Zhong Manman looked at Ma Weiwei with disbelief.
"That's what Sister Xiaoxi said. She also told us to practice hard when we come back and not to always think about going out to play.
So, after we came back, we stayed in the mountains during the day." Ma Weiwei helped Chen Qinian to cover up the lie.
After hearing what Ma Weiwei said, Zhong Manman finally believed what Chen Qinian said.
She muttered, "It seems I'm worrying too much."
Chen Qinian reminded Ma Weiwei, "You'd better listen to Fourth Brother's advice. Master has said before that some masters of the mystical arts, having grown up in the mountains, don't like noise. Don't let your impulsiveness cause trouble for your Zhang family."
"I understand." Zhong Manman replied disappointedly.
Seeing that Zhong Manman hadn't come to see her for a while, Ma Weiwei simply went down the mountain with Zhong Manman.
Chen Qinian didn't want to hear the girl's little secrets, so he stayed alone in the mountains to practice martial arts.
After lunch, Ma Weiwei sent Zhong Manman away and went up the mountain again.
There are prey on the mountain. Usually they hunt to get enough of it, and occasionally they ask servants to go up the mountain to bring them food.
When Ma Weiwei came back, she brought some cakes and water for Chen Qinian.
Chen Qinian wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down on a clean lawn.
"Do you think it's really Sister Xiaoxi who has returned?" Ma Weiwei asked Chen Qinian.
"Most likely. Sister Xiaoxi has such a good relationship with the Second Master. How could she let the Second Master fight alone? Besides, now is a critical moment for the Second Master. I don't believe Sister Xiaoxi won't be worried." Chen Qinian was sure that it was his master when Zhong Manman said that the young master of that family was also a master of Xuanmen.
"Then should we do something for them?" Ma Weiwei asked again.
"With our current abilities, we really can't do anything. I heard that several princes are surrounded by powerful people. If we show up, not only will we not be able to relieve Master's worries, we might even become Master's weakness.
What do you think? If something happens to us, will she save us or not?
Besides, we have two big families behind us, and we will drag them into this when the time comes.
I think this is something Master didn't want to see, otherwise he wouldn't have been so anxious to get us back and told us to tell others we were expelled." Chen Qinian analyzed the whole thing from beginning to end.
Ma Weiwei looked at Chen Qinian with a strange look and said with emotion: "You seem different from before."
"What's different? I'm still me. It's just that we've all been through a lot. It's time to grow up and think more about the people around us." After saying that, Chen Qinian stuffed the cake into his mouth, drank a sip of water, swallowed the cake, stood up and went into the woods.
Ma Weiwei looked at Chen Qinian's back, a happy smile appearing on the corner of her mouth.
When Chen Qinian saw that Ma Weiwei hadn't caught up, he stopped and shouted, "Aren't you going to practice anymore?"
"Of course we have to practice, but I can't let you become strong alone. What if I can't beat you?" Ma Weiwei said and chased after him.
At this time, not far away, Gu Xiaoxi looked at his two disciples with great comfort.
They have become mature mentally, especially Chen Qinian, who gives her the feeling that he is about to be able to stand on his own.
She had gone up the mountain near the village before, but she still felt worried about Chen Qinian.
Chen Qinian is impulsive, and since there is Ma Weiwei around, he decided to come over and take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he saw Zhong Manman running up the mountain.
Although Zhong Manman has a stubborn temper, if it is an unrelated person, why should he be stubborn?
At this moment, she was thinking that if there was another chance in the future, she would accept Zhong Manman as her apprentice.
However, this opportunity seems a little slim. Now she and Ye Lixuan are just taking one step at a time. Getting close to anyone will only bring trouble to them.
Watching the backs of her two disciples gradually leaving, she turned and went down the mountain, taking a shortcut to the village.
When it was almost dark, Chen Qinian and Ma Weiwei walked out of the woods.
When they were about to go down the mountain, Chen Qinian discovered a pair of footprints on the hillside.
Ma Weiwei measured it with her fingers and said excitedly, "This shoe seems to be the same length as Sister Xiaoxi's."
"Master has been here. He's probably worried that we'll be impulsive and get implicated." Chen Qinian explained the reason why Master showed up.
Um!
Ma Weiwei nodded and started crying with a sore nose.
"Don't cry! Master has put so much effort into this. We must practice hard so that we can live up to Master's high hopes." As Chen Qinian said this, his nose felt sore and his eyes turned red.
"Chen Qinian!" Ma Weiwei threw herself into Chen Qinian's arms.
Chen Qinian hugged Ma Weiwei sadly and said, "Let's stop arguing from now on. Master doesn't like to see us quarreling."
"Okay, let's not quarrel. Let's practice hard and pay attention to the situation in the imperial capital. Maybe we can help in the future." Ma Weiwei suggested.
"Yes, if we become stronger, we will be able to help Master and Second Master in the future." Chen Qinian also thought so.
It was rare for the two of them to walk down the mountain hand in hand.
When the servants of the Chen family saw the third young master and the young mistress holding hands, they hurried to tell the head of the family the good news.
The head of the Chen family was very happy to hear this. He ordered the kitchen to make more nourishing soup for the boy and prayed that he would have a grandson as soon as possible.
Not long after the sun went down, Gu Xiaoxi returned from the forest path carrying a backpack.
When she came out, she found that someone was following her again. This time, she did not deliberately get rid of them, but went straight back to the manor.
The next day, she went out to the mountains again.
This time, she did not shake off her tail. She dug herbs and hunted in the mountains and returned to the farm in the afternoon.
After she returned, she did not go out. Early in the morning of the third day, Ye Lingxiao brought Ye Lingyun and Li Ma, who usually served Ye Lingyun, to her house.
