1286: Hidden Difficulty

Hidden Difficulty

She had never thought about accepting a disciple. She asked Xiao Jin to be in charge of Xinlin Gate, which was a place to train capable people from different walks of life, but learning medical skills at Xinlin Gate and being her disciple were just two different things.2

If she was going to accept a disciple, that person would be her assistant, working around her. And she did need someone like that.

Li Qing was a great candidate, but he was a skillful doctor who specializes in his own field. If he was just working with her as an assistant, it would be degrading for him.

This doctor was just right for that. He was not good at medical skills, but he had the gift. It was a good choice to take him along. And he was resolute as well.

She had tested him by ignoring him, and yet he still insisted on being her disciple.

If that was the case… she could accept him as a disciple.

Gu Chaoyan nodded. "What is your name?"

"Yu Feng." The doctor answered.

Hearing the name, Gu Chaoyan started to pay attention to him. The doctor looked clean and handsome, young and fitting his name well.

"Get up, come with me," Gu Chaoyan said and started to walk outside.

Yu Feng looked so excited.

She agreed?

He had not expected that! Back at Feng County, he also did not think that General Liu would have been injured so seriously. That was why he came with him to the capital where he had such an experience.

Although Gu Chaoyan had turned around and left, Yu Feng still kowtowed to Gu Chaoyan three times before getting up.

He felt that his legs had become numb, and he almost tripped over himself. He followed Gu Chaoyan happily.

The snow did not seem to stop. When Gu Chaoyan left the Liu Mansion, the snowflakes were still falling. Sword One held up the umbrella for her, in case the snow fell on her.

The servants from the Liu Mansion were all seeing her off politely.

The wagon moved forward quite slowly in the snow, and Gu Chaoyan let it be. She had the handheld fire-place in her hands, and took a nap in the wagon.

Within one year's time, Gu Chaoyan witnessed how the Saint Divine Land deteriorated.

If it continued like this, Gu Chaoyan was worried that the Saint Divine Land would be engulfed by the other countries.

She sighed.

It was the civilians that had to suffer.

At the Qianqing Palace.

The King was extremely anxious as he looked at what was happening outside. Snow in June! That was something that had never happened for hundreds of years, but it happened now, while he was in the throne.

Something was going on!

What was going on?

He panicked.

"De Fu, get me a palanquin!" The King shouted as he walked outside. He had arranged for many people to visit Destiny Monk, trying to ask him what on earth was going on, but everyone returned fruitless. They could not even approach Destiny Monk's room.

He could not stand it any more. He decided to go there personally to call Destiny Monk out of the room.
