Chapter 801 - 746: How Much Longer
When Xia Wenjin unexpectedly performed such a grand ceremony, a few people were initially stunned, then thought it was a younger generation paying respects to their master, Luan Changfeng, which was understandable.
However, Ning Yujun stepped aside half a step and said, "Miss Xia, you and I are strangers, there is no need for such courtesy, especially such a grand ceremony!"
Xia Wenjin raised her head; the ceremony was completed, and she stood up properly.
No matter what they thought this ceremony was, it was her sincere respect as a disciple to her master. Although she couldn’t acknowledge it now, she knew in her heart.
As she straightened up, Xia Wenjin said, "Senior Sister Ning, I don’t know where Senior Luan is, but after receiving his guidance, I wanted to fulfill a wish for him. I hope Senior Sister Ning gives me this opportunity!"
In the memories of her past life, at this time, Luan Changfeng had already met with misfortune for three years, even before her rebirth.
His medical skills were excellent, but his martial arts were not high. Because he healed a seriously injured and dying person, he was killed by the person’s enemy out of resentment, but the enemy knew that killing a Jianghu Divine Doctor would have a huge impact, so he concealed the news of the death, which only came to light a year later.
She remembered, after Luan Changfeng’s death news broke, her master had just taken her under his wing; at that time she didn’t know who Luan Changfeng was nor the relationship between him and her master.
But after receiving this news, her master shut himself in his room, didn’t go out for days, and later fell seriously ill.
Regarding this matter, the senior brothers and Senior Sister Mu were all tight-lipped.
If she was unclear in her past life, what is unclear now?
It’s a pity, she has no means regarding Luan Changfeng’s matter.
Now borrowing the name of Luan Changfeng, she had no choice.
She thought, even if Senior Luan were still alive, he’d probably hope the master suffers less illness.
Ning Yujun’s gaze swept over Xia Wenjin, the girl’s face calm with concern, looking at her, presumably already using the doctor’s intuitive gaze? She said, "You have never met Luan Changfeng!"
Xia Wenjin was startled; she was puzzled, "Senior Sister Ning, what do you mean by that?"
Ning Yujun smiled and said, "If you had met him, you would know the person he least wants to see in this lifetime is probably me. He doesn’t want to see me, considers me an enemy. No, we are originally mortal enemies, and there’s no chance for reconciliation in this lifetime. You say his wish is for me to be relieved from illness, besides being your conjecture, what other reason do you think there could be?"
Xia Wenjin: "..."
Indeed, she didn’t know, even though the name of the divine doctor Luan Changfeng had spread throughout Jianghu, for her, it was still just a name.
Everyone said divine doctor Senior Luan had a noble medical ethics, was upright, and had a humane heart.
But she was unfamiliar.
Or maybe she had seen him; her father said her little life was saved by that divine doctor, but at that time she was too young, with no impression at all!
To have her deduce Luan Changfeng’s behavior style and character based on a little impression from when she was a child is simply impossible.
Originally she was just borrowing the name to meet Ning Yujun.
Someone unfamiliar to her, Ning Yujun is familiar, so she was easily exposed.
Not only exposed, but also caught off guard.
She only saw the sadness of the master upon knowing Luan Changfeng’s death news, but didn’t know there was such an enmity between the master and Luan Changfeng.
Xia Wenjin hesitated, deceiving the master? That is meaningless, first because for an unfamiliar person, the more you say, the more mistakes; second, she doesn’t want to deceive the person in front of her.
Mu Ziyu’s face changed slightly, she was the one who brought the person, and she had checked this person, confirmed there was no problem, then informed the senior brothers, and then reported to the master.
If what Xia Wenjin said was not true, then what was her purpose?
𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Could she intend to harm the master?
Not to mention Li Haofan and others’ face change, in her heart, a coldness emerged; if Xia Wenjin dared harm the master, she would dare to fight to the death even if it meant her life, to spill her blood on the spot.
Ning Yujun’s gaze swept by, preventing the disciples’ agitation, seeing Xia Wenjin not speaking, she still found time to laugh and said, "Little girl, isn’t lying uncomfortable? Since that’s the case, why do you want to lie?"
Xia Wenjin steadied her mind, raised her head, and looked directly at Ning Yujun, she slowly said, "It’s a long story, and hard to believe, but the only thing I can confirm is that I’m not lying!"
Lu Hongyin’s eyes were fierce, staring at Xia Wenjin, shouting, "You say you’re not lying, yet you don’t even know that the person named Luan was the master’s enemy! Tell me, what exactly is your purpose?"
