Chapter 243: A monster without emotions? Just a poor man.
Although Long Feibai tried his best to act normal, the words "I have a story" were written all over him. He Zhaojun was trying to find a way to get more information out of him.
Perhaps not wanting to listen to He Zhaojun's nagging anymore, Long Feibai picked up the powder she had ground, added a few medicinal herbs, and poured them all into the fire. A strong medicinal fragrance rose with the smoke and spread throughout the village in an instant.
"The Long family is a prominent one here. Master is the head of our main family, and I am a nephew from a branch of our family. The Long family has been witches for generations, and Master is a leader among them. Ten years ago, Master has led the entire Long family. I entered the water prison simply to practice, not because I committed any mistake."
He Zhaojun said "Oh". She had seen Long Xiannan's name in the report submitted by local officials to the court when she was on the boat. She thought he was just an ordinary Miao doctor, but she didn't expect him to be so important.
"As for the rammed sand... I grew up here, and many of the dead must be my relatives."
He Zhaojun was dumbfounded, but he didn't seem to be showing any sadness, or rather, he simply didn't have any emotions! A wave of bitterness welled up in her heart. What had Long Feibai been through to remain so calm in the face of so many tragic deaths?
She couldn't help but think of her father and brother who were far away in the northwest, and her second brother He Chuan who was sleeping forever in Shouchun. The intense worry, accompanied by sadness, made her eyes red in an instant. He Zhaojun quickly turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears.
At this moment, an emotion he had never experienced before gradually spread from Long Feibai's heart. He felt his eyes burning, and tears as big as beans fell. Long Feibai wiped the tears from his face in disbelief and turned to stare at He Zhaojun.
"Don't cry. No matter how sad you are, they can't be brought back to life. The only thing I can do is to kill their enemies with my own hands to comfort their souls."
Is this what emotion is? It's truly disconcerting. Long Feibai frowned, trying to clear his mind of distracting thoughts, but he couldn't do it at that moment. His master had said that he was extremely talented in using poisons to teach medicine, but he simply didn't understand the warmth and coldness of human nature, couldn't empathize with the suffering of the world, and ultimately fell short of becoming a true healer.
But if you are disturbed by these thoughts all day long, how can you concentrate on your research? Long Feibai doesn't understand.
He changed the subject abruptly: "Who are you?"
"We have come from the capital specifically to seek medicine for my mother. If it is true as you said, that your master, Long Xiannan, is the most skilled doctor in the area, then we must trouble him to accompany us." He Zhaojun wiped her tears.
Long Feibai frowned: "Mother? Are you a princess?"
He thought to himself that if he wanted to marry a princess, he would have to put in a lot of effort. However, with his own financial resources and the size of the Long family, he could marry any ordinary princess. The Golden Phoenix Gu was far more precious than a princess, so he had to find a way to keep her by his side.
"No, my son-in-law is the prince." He Zhaojun supported Wen Ziduan and signaled Long Feibai to feed Wen Ziduan the medicine.
Long Feibai paused, then calmly went to rescue the others. A husband-in-law? Was she already married? But she was still a virgin, so how could she be considered married?
He did not care about He Zhaojun's past. As a doctor, he simply wanted to study the Golden Phoenix Gu in detail, so there was a hint of inquiry in his words.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't look at me without permission! My husband and I are inseparable!" He Zhaojun noticed his undisguised scrutiny, which was no different from looking at a corpse, and it made her feel uneasy. In fact, in Long Feibai's eyes, He Zhaojun was at best a more attractive corpse.
Long Feibai nodded, but what he was thinking in his heart was, next time you two are making love, I will have experimental material again.
