Chapter 308: Good Night, My Little One

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The matter of becoming a disciple was settled after all of Sun Chan’s persistence and persuasion. Of course, when it comes to taking on disciples, the Medicine King would not do so quietly.

Sun Chan decided that when the time came to introduce Nan Yan to the others, he would arrange a welcoming ceremony.

He didn’t pay much attention to Nan Yan’s opinion and unilaterally made all the decisions. After finishing their beef noodles, Sun Chan wiped his mouth with a napkin and spoke with seriousness, “Yanyan, don’t forget to come find me tomorrow. I’ll take you to visit our sect.”

“Your master has been gone for many years, and the sect has undergone significant changes. Since he doesn’t want to return, you can go and have a look on his behalf.’

“Alright.”

This was something she couldn’t refuse. Sun Chan saw that Nan Yan agreed and smiled. He took out a modern smartphone from his pocket and said, “Come on, Yanyan, let’s add each other as friends.”

“Okay.”

After adding each other as friends and setting a time and place to meet tomorrow, Sun Chan gave Nan Yan the Purple Frost Grass she had taken a liking to as a gift. Nan Yan didn’t decline, as she knew that refusing gifts from her new master would likely upset him.

The two bowls of beef noodles were paid for by Wu Yue. Afterward, Wu Yue drove and dropped Sun Chan off at his residence in the imperial capital.

Sun Chan’s place in the capital was a traditional-style courtyard house, but his main work and the valuable medicinal plants were in a remote mountain area. Normally, he managed the cultivation of medicinal herbs, and only the extremely rare and precious ones were personally cared for by him. He spent about ten days a month living in the courtyard house, with the majority of his time dedicated to the care of his various plants.

At the entrance of the courtyard, after Sun Chan got out of the car, he instructed Nan Yan, “Yanyan, don’t forget to come and see your master tomorrow!”

“I know,” Nan Yan nodded in agreement, “Second Master, you can go in first.”

“Second Master” was the title given based on the seniority between Sun Chan and Hua Shifang.

Hua Shifang was the eldest, so he was naturally the First Master.

Sun Chan was his junior brother and also the second senior brother in the sect.

He had become the second master.

Otherwise, if they all called him Master, there would be no way to differentiate them in the future.

With a cheerful smile, Sun Chan acknowledged Nan Yan’s words and leisurely entered the courtyard gate.

Wu Yue asked cautiously, “Miss Nan, should we continue to the night market, or should we go back to the Qin residence?”

Nan Yan furrowed her brow and replied calmly, “Let’s go back to the Qin residence.”

“Alright!”

Wu Yue quickly started the car and headed in the direction of the Qin residence.

Nan Yan’s situation, from the moment Wu Yue dropped her off at the Qin residence and returned to the company, was promptly reported to Qin Lu. After recounting everything, Wu Yue couldn’t help but sigh, “Young Master, Miss Nan is actually a disciple of the Divine Physician Hua Shifang. No wonder her medical skills are so exceptional!”

In the future, if there are any illnesses, with Miss Nan around, it will undoubtedly be easy to find a cure!

Qin Lu’s expression slightly hardened, and he asked in a deep voice, “During their conversation, was there anyone else at that stall?”

Wu Yue immediately understood what Qin Lu meant by this question and hurriedly replied, “No, there was no one else at the stall except for the owner selling beef noodles. He only came over to serve the noodles when they were eating, and at that time, both the Medicine King and Miss Nan remained silent.”

“What you witnessed today should not be disclosed to anyone. Additionally, Wu

Yue, please investigate whether there are any surveillance devices at the beef noodle stall. If there are, erase the footage.”

Qin Lu’s tone was calm but meticulous.

He wanted to ensure that all potential clues revealing the identities of Nan Yan and Sun Chan were completely eliminated.

Having a high-profile identity could attract unnecessary danger, as he knew from his own experience. He didn’t want Nan Yan to be in the same predicament. Moreover, from her previous words, he could sense that there might already be some hidden dangers around her. It was crucial to prevent further enmity.

“Yes, Young Master!”

Wu Yue acknowledged and promptly went to carry out the tasks.

By the time Qin Lu returned from the company to the Qin residence, it was already 1:00 a.m. Tomorrow, he would be flying back to Jin City with Nan Yan, so there were many things to take care of. There was a bit left, which he could handle at the office tomorrow.

They would be able to return around noon, and then their journey would continue.

After freshening up, Qin Lu inexplicably found himself standing outside Nan Yan’s bedroom. He gently turned the doorknob and entered.

Nan Yan was already asleep.

The room wasn’t completely dark.

The moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a shimmering silver glow onto her bed.

Bathed in the moonlight, she looked like a sleeping beauty, her silky black hair spread out like seaweed, and her exquisitely delicate face tempted anyone to reach out and caress it.

Her rosy lips were slightly parted, seemingly inviting a kiss…

Qin Lu extended his hand, gently brushing his thumb over her lips.

As he watched her peacefully sleeping, he struggled to control the desires welling up inside him. Slowly, he lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips.

“Goodnight, my little friend…”

He didn’t dare to linger in her room, fearing that he might do something more beastly. He couldn’t allow his desires to run wild.

She was still just a young girl, and he needed to restrain himself…

After a faint sound of the door closing, Nan Yan, who had been “asleep” on the bed, opened her eyes.

She bit her lip lightly and licked the corner of her lips. In her eyes, there was an abyss of darkness.

This man had taken advantage of her while she was asleep, even stealing a kiss…

She wondered what his expression would be if she had opened her eyes when he kissed her.

But in the end, she was a bit hesitant herself. She feared the awkward situation that might arise, so she suppressed her emotions and pretended to be asleep.

She thought that to deceive a man like Qin Lu, her breathing might be slightly erratic, enough to arouse his suspicion.

However, it was also possible that he had already lost his composure, so he didn’t notice even if her emotions leaked out slightly.

Nan Yan reached out and pressed her hand against her heart.

Very good, it was beating quite cheerfully.

That kiss from Qin Lu had left her feeling restless and devoid of any sleepiness.

Irritated!

Nan Yan sat up, ruffling her hair in frustration, and threw the blanket aside to reach for her notebook.

Nan Yan: [Are you there? Any new tasks?]

Bai Yiqi:

Bai Yiqi: [Y Lord, are you having trouble sleeping again?]

Nan Yan: [Mm.]

Bai Yiqi: [Alright, I’ll get it packaged for you right away!]

Bai Yiqi: [Y Lord, would you consider joining my studio?]

Nan Yan’s tone remained as cold as ever: [No, I won’t consider it.]

Bai Yiqi: obedient.jpg [Alright, I’ll ask again next time!]

Nan Yan: .

The next day, Nan Yan, sporting a pair of dark circles under her eyes, shuffled downstairs as if her heels were made of cotton.

It was 6:30 in the morning.

Qin Lu hadn’t gone to the office yet; he was elegantly having breakfast at the dining table.

Observing Nan Yan, who looked like a lost soul, he took a sip of his coffee, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “Nan Yan, did you have a nightmare yesterday?”

Nan Yan glared at him, gritting her teeth, “Yes!”
