The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability
Chapter 37 Passing by
Mo Liuyun also saw the carriage slowly approaching and the slender, fair hand that lifted a corner of the curtain. She couldn't see the person inside, but she inexplicably felt that this man must be very handsome. Then she thought of that cunning, fox-like man in modern times. She wondered how he was doing now. Thinking of that person seemed to make her feel much better, and she couldn't help but smile.
Nangong Li saw the woman dressed as a man, but holding a child's hand, from inside the carriage. She seemed to be thinking of something or someone, and she exuded a sense of joy from the inside out. Nangong Li thought that she must have remembered something she cared about or someone she missed.
As the carriage passed by, Nangong Li lowered the curtain and asked inwardly, "Master, should I follow them to take a look?"
"No need. Let's go to the hot springs first and see what Wushuang is up to. Now that we know it's her, there's no need to rush! When we get to the foot of the mountain, Qingyang, you drive the carriage back to Wangjiang Pavilion later and come pick us up at Chenshi (7-9 AM) in three days."
Qingyang replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, An Yi carried Nangong Li on his back and sped through the forest to the edge of the mountain peak. With a leap, he landed on a protruding boulder, parted the vines at the cave entrance, and led Nangong Li into the cave. Deep within the cave, there was a pool of water emitting steam, clearly a hot spring. There were also stone tables and chairs nearby.
An Yi helped Nangong Li sit down on the stone chair and said, "Master, I will go and prepare the things we need." After saying that, he took out a box that had been placed in another part of the cave, took out the daily necessities inside, and put them away one by one.
“Hmm,” Nangong Li replied.
About fifteen minutes later, there was a strange noise outside the cave. An Yi turned around and went out to check. A little while later, he came back with Wu Shuang.
Upon seeing Nangong Li, Wushuang exclaimed excitedly, "Master, I've found the Limitless Pill! Your poisoning will be easier this time."
An Yi and Nangong Li were taken aback. They weren't as excited as Wushuang had imagined. Instead, they exchanged a glance and thought to themselves, "Just as I thought!"
Wushuang took out the bottle from her bosom and handed it to An Yi. An Yi took it, poured out the contents, smelled it, and said to Nangong Li, "Master, it's exactly the same."
Wushuang asked, "What do you mean exactly the same? You also found the Limitless Pill?"
An Yi pulled out an identical bottle from his pocket. Although he was almost certain, he still asked Wu Shuang, "Where did you get your Limitless Pill?"
Wushuang said, "I have accepted Mo Liujin as my disciple. This is a gift from Miss on behalf of her younger brother, along with a bottle of excellent medicine. She said it can heal the heart meridian that I injured when I was practicing martial arts in my early years." Then she took out the bottle of medicine and handed it to An Yi. An Yi had been studying pharmacology with Elder Chu for the past few years to better care for his master, and he knew quite a bit about medicines and their effects.
Upon hearing that it could heal Wushuang's heart meridian, An Yi was startled. He took the medicine, opened it, poured out the contents, smelled it, and then handed it back to Wushuang, saying, "There are quite a few medicines for treating heart ailments. Besides the century-old ginseng, there are some medicines to replenish qi and strengthen the spleen, but there seems to be something else inside. Perhaps it really can heal your heart meridian!"
Spirit Spring: Hmph! How could you mortals possibly recognize this Spirit Spring?!
Wushuang nodded and put it away. An Yi handed the Wuji Pill to Nangong Li, but Nangong Li did not take the bottle from Wushuang and said, "Since it is a gift for becoming a disciple, you can keep it yourself!"
Wushuang said urgently, "Master, I don't need it right now. Keep it just in case!"
Nangong Li said, "Elder Chu said that for me, taking five Wuji Pills is the limit. I have already taken three in the past three years, and I have two left, which is enough."
Upon hearing this, Wushuang and An Yi lowered their heads. Their master had been poisoned for three years, and Elder Chu had predicted that the poison could not be cured within five years. Their master would not live past the age of twenty, which meant that there was not much time left.
Seeing that Wushuang remained silent, Nangong Li's cold voice rang out, revealing no emotion whatsoever. He said calmly, "Life and death are predestined. Besides, I have already lived for several more years. I still have two more years to go, don't I?"
Wushuang raised her head and knelt before Nangong Li. She said, “Master, I have taken Mo Liujin as my disciple. When Miss gave me the medicine, she made me swear an oath never to harm Mo Liujin under any circumstances. I have agreed, please punish me! But Miss promised that if I ever need anything in the future, she will do her utmost to help me. If that day ever comes, I will beg Miss to help you detoxify!”
An Yi was secretly alarmed upon hearing this. Wu Shuang always seemed carefree and irreverent, but she was extremely disciplined and knew that as a member of the Dark Guard, she had to obey her master's orders. Even though she said this for her master's sake, it was tantamount to betraying him.
Nangong Li waved his hand: "I will not hurt them, without a doubt, there will be no conflict. I asked you to protect her because of the kindness I showed you when we were young."
Wushuang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then reverted to his usual roguish demeanor. He pulled out an oil-paper package from his pocket, which Lian'er had given him before he left, saying it was a cold-cooked rabbit that their master had packed for him to eat as a snack. So he wanted his master to try some too; he'd have plenty of opportunities to eat it anyway, and he could also show off to An Yi!
Wushuang opened the oil paper package and handed it to Nangong Li with a smile: "Master, try this. This is spicy rabbit meat made by the young lady. It's very delicious." An Yi glanced at Wushuang and was speechless. Did she expect her god-like master to eat it with his hands? She snatched the oil paper package and turned to leave.
Wushuang hurriedly stopped her: "What are you doing? You're even stealing food from your master?"
An Yi rolled his eyes and said, "You idiot! I'm getting plates and chopsticks, and you expect Master to eat with his hands like you and me?!"
Wushuang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then a scene appeared in her mind: her god-like master grabbing rabbit pieces with his hands, eating and saying how delicious it was, and she couldn't help but smile foolishly!
Nangong Li glanced at Wushuang and knew what scenario he was imagining. He took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and threw it at Wushuang. Wushuang reacted and caught it, but the impact of the silver made him take a step back! He was about to speak.
Nangong Li said calmly, "Cleanse your mind of all those filthy images!"
After a short while, An Yi brought over a tray. On the tray, the rabbit meat was poured out on a plate, along with two pairs of chopsticks, a pot of tea, and a plate of snacks.
An Yi placed the tray on the stone table by the hot spring and handed chopsticks to Nangong Li. Nangong Li took them and said, "Let's eat together." She picked up a piece of rabbit meat and chewed it slowly. This feeling was strange. Although it was her first time trying it, it felt as if she had eaten it countless times before! She also felt a sense of kinship with Mo Liuyun, as if she had known her in a past life! Even though they had never met, she felt that since Mo Liuyun appeared, her world was no longer just her own!
An Yi tasted it and said, "Master, is Miss Mo perhaps a reincarnation of a culinary god? Even the imperial chefs would have to admit defeat in this skill!"
Wushuang said with an arrogant expression, "That's right!"
Nangong Li said, "Indeed, your culinary skills are extraordinary!"
An Yi glanced at Wu Shuang's arrogant expression and said disdainfully, "What's with that expression? What's it to you if I praise Miss Mo?"
Wushuang raised her head and said, "I can eat Miss's cooking every day now! You guys have to wait until the end of the month for new dishes. Can't I be proud?"
An Yi clenched his fist, while Nangong Li thought: Should we find someone else to protect Mo Liuyun? And then send Wushuang to some remote, sandy place in the northwest to eat sand?
