Chapter 167: Chapter 168: The Innocent Clears Himself

"Will Master no longer be able to teach me medicine in the future..."

Zhuang Muyan’s tone was somewhat dejected.

Chu Nanli shook her head, "No, it will be as usual."

"But...the War King is already suspicious of us, wouldn’t it harm Master’s reputation if this continues?" Zhuang Muyan said in a low voice.

Chu Nanli looked at him intently, "Do you care about this reputation?"

Zhuang Muyan quickly shook his head, "As a man, naturally I don’t care. I’m just afraid it might affect Master."

"Then it doesn’t matter." Chu Nanli said indifferently, "Our relationship as master and disciple is legitimate, those with pure hearts are self-evident, and we need not pay mind to those who intend to slander us."

"As long as we ourselves act uprightly and sit straight, that’s enough."

Zhuang Muyan felt enlightened upon hearing Chu Nanli’s words.

Indeed, those with pure hearts are self-evident.

If they stopped seeing each other, it would seem as though there was something going on between them.

"Thank you for your instruction, Master!"

Zhuang Muyan truly admired Chu Nanli from the bottom of his heart. Although Chu Nanli was not much older than him, she seemed to understand much more.

Chu Nanli: "..."

She hadn’t deliberately taught Zhuang Muyan anything, it was completely freewheeling, and his admiration made her feel somewhat guilty.

"Right, Master, I’ve read the book you gave me."

When Zhuang Muyan thought of that medical book, he felt a bit of a headache.

The theories in it were ones he had never heard before.

"Master, where did you get that book? Why is it so different from the common medical texts..."

Zhuang Muyan complained to Chu Nanli about the medical book’s obscurity and difficulty to understand.

Chu Nanli could understand.

After all, that medical book could be said to have completely overturned his understanding.

Toppling the medical knowledge system he learned over many years and then rebuilding it was a very challenging task.

The fact that he did not directly give up pleased her.

"Don’t worry, you can learn slowly, and come ask me whenever you have questions." Chu Nanli offered comfort.

Zhuang Muyan’s eyes lit up.

The Master did not disdain him for being slow, and even said she would answer his questions anytime.

Master is truly kind!

"Then, I have a day off tomorrow, do you have time, Master?"

Chu Nanli thought for a moment, "Yes, then come to Ye Jiuxiao’s residence tomorrow."

Chu Nanli thought that Lin Fuying might also have questions about the medical text, and it would be best to teach both disciples together to avoid hassle.

The next day was the birthday of Consort Yang Shu.

Ye Yunting stood early in front of the carriage at the entrance of the Prince Residence.

He wore a dark robe with subtle patterns, exuding a strong and frigid aura. The gold-threaded dragon embroidery on the cuffs further indicated the noble status of the garment’s owner.

Lin Fuying, on the other hand, wore a moon-white colored long dress, her makeup light, with a small red dot between her brows, giving her the appearance of a fragile and pure flower.

Two people of exceptional beauty standing together made the perfect pair.

"Prince, we can depart now."

Ye Yiqing, after checking the gifts in the carriage, said to Ye Yunting.

Ye Yunting looked towards the entrance of the Prince Residence with a stern face, saying nothing.

"Is the Prince waiting for sister?" Lin Fuying asked softly.

Ye Yunting did not respond but frowned slightly.

Normally, Chu Nanli would have prepared her birthday gift early and waited by the carriage for him.

Today, he had waited for a long time but had not seen her come out.

Seeing Ye Yunting looking towards the inside of the gate, Lin Fuying knew he was waiting for that little wretch Chu Nanli.

Damn it!

Could it be that he still couldn’t let go of Chu Nanli in his heart?

"Perhaps with all that has happened recently, sister momentarily forgot that today is Mother’s birthday..."

"How about sending someone to call for sister? After all, it’s Mother’s birthday, and it wouldn’t be good if sister didn’t attend," Lin Fuying said with a seemingly considerate manner.

"Hmm," Ye Yunting responded indifferently.

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Fuying was even more furious but had no choice but to instruct someone to call her.

"Dong Yue, go and call for sister."
