"Alright, let's continue with your questions. Fifth Uncle, your medicinal bath will remain the same, the same as before. Your physical training will be doubled until you can complete the assigned tasks within the allotted time, then you can move on to the next training task."
Lin Yuxin then began to ask the questions of the group.
"Okay, I understand! I'll definitely try my best to get back."
Zhao Yingxuan nodded in agreement; this time, no matter how tired he was, he couldn't slack off.
"Cousin, did you injure your left leg before?"
After Lin Yuxin finished explaining her fifth uncle's question, she looked at her eldest cousin, Lin Chenxi, and asked him directly.
She originally wanted to ask privately, but she didn't have much time now, so she decided to ask directly instead.
"...!"
Zhao Chenxi was startled. How could her cousin know? Well, with her superb medical skills, she would have found out sooner or later.
"Injured? Boss, you injured your leg? When? Why didn't we know?"
Zhao Shijie's heart tightened when he heard Lin Yuxin's question. He frowned and looked at Zhao Chenxi to ask.
His own grandson was injured right under his nose without his knowledge, and it seems like it's been a long time. He, as the grandfather, has truly failed in his duty!
A flicker of pain flashed in Zhao Chenxi's eyes. He pursed his lips for a long while before finally speaking:
"Yes, I was injured. I got into a fight before."
Lin Yuxin looked at him without saying anything. She knew that her cousin wasn't telling the truth, but as long as he spoke, it meant that the matter wouldn't be difficult to resolve.
"Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to. But your leg injury shouldn't be serious. It's just that it wasn't treated in time, so it ended up like this."
“You usually try your best to hide it. Even if you walk like a normal person, you still experience pain occasionally. In addition, when you were running just now, one of your legs was noticeably lighter, which clearly exposed that you have an injury on your leg.”
Lin Yuxin pointed out the flaws in his legs directly, so that he would be aware of them.
"I'll take a look at your leg in a bit. It's best to treat this leg as soon as possible. If it gets to the point of no return, your leg will be useless, and you might have to limp for the rest of your life."
Lin Yuxin offered earnest advice.
"We'll treat you in a bit. You brat, you got hurt and didn't even tell us. What, you think you can take over now?"
Zhao Shijie was both angry and heartbroken. His eldest son only had two bloodlines, and his eldest grandson had been injured for many years, yet they didn't know. How could he face his eldest son after he passed away?
Zhao Shijie's eyes reddened.
"Understood, Grandfather."
Zhao Chenxi, with tears in her eyes, agreed.
"Grandfather, don't worry, I'll show it to my older cousin later."
Seeing that her grandfather was in a bad mood, Lin Yuxin offered words of comfort.
"Yes! Grandfather knows. With you here, Grandfather has no worries."
Hearing Yuxin's words of comfort, Zhao Shijie pulled himself out of his grief and said in a deep voice.
"Alright, now let's talk about my second cousin. Second cousin, you tell us your question!"
Lin Yuxin raised her hand and gently patted her grandfather's hand to comfort him, then turned to look at her second cousin Zhao Chenxuan and said with a half-smile.
"Me? What's wrong with me?"
Zhao Chenxuan's heart skipped a beat. He felt uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Yuxin. Had she seen through him?
[Ha! This second brother has been hiding his true abilities quite well! Pretending to be a big shot every day must be tiring! With his skills, it would take him at least ten years to hone them; looks like he has a master mentoring him!]
Lin Yuxin couldn't be mistaken; Zhao Chenxuan's martial arts skills were not low, but he had never revealed them. She wondered why.
"Alright! Since my second cousin won't tell me, I won't ask. But second cousin, I need to revise your plan."
Lin Yuxin didn't pressure him; it was his privacy. Since her second cousin had this opportunity, it was his good fortune.
"Okay! It's fine as long as it's my cousin's decision."
When Zhao Chenxuan heard that Lin Yuxin was no longer pressing the issue, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had promised his master that he would not reveal his identity, otherwise the master would disown him as his disciple.
"Third cousin, your biggest problem is that you're full of problems. Third cousin, I think you should give up martial arts and pursue a literary career, and take the imperial examination with your third uncle. Your physique is a bit of a waste in the army."
Lin Yuxin's words were already quite tactful; she looked at her third cousin and was speechless.
If this third cousin weren't older than his two younger cousins, he probably couldn't even outrun his fifth cousin. While the others ran with great seriousness, he was constantly out of breath, even more frail than his third uncle.
[But he has absolutely no physical problems. He just doesn't want to move, he's too lazy to move. If he hadn't been born into the Zhao family, and if his father hadn't been unable to get up for many years and required him to stand, he would probably be a prime example of someone who would rather sit than stand.]
Even Zhao Shijie, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but clench his fists when he heard Lin Yuxin's thoughts and looked at his third grandson. This brat usually pretends so diligently. He thought that his father was paralyzed and that he had become sensible.
Unexpectedly, she was a good actress, and her true colors were exposed in the competition.
Looks like I haven't been beaten enough!
Zhao Shijie glared at Lin Chendong, thinking that this useless person was so bad that he didn't even want to admit he was a descendant of the Zhao family.
Zhao Chendong felt uneasy under Zhao Shijie's glare. He hadn't done anything wrong! He had tried his best to run, but he just couldn't run anymore! It would have been better to let him read a book!
Upon hearing Lin Yuxin's words, his eyes lit up. "Is that alright?"
Seeing his expression, Lin Yuxin knew that her third cousin didn't really like martial arts. He had probably reached his limit after being trained by his maternal grandfather for so long over the past month.
