"Grandfather?"

"Alright. I'll let you go."

"Mhm."

Nan Hua was sure that Old Master Nan knew something, but he chose not to say it in front of her. Nan Hua herself didn't really plan to tell Old Master Nan about this matter because it was a bit hard to explain.

After she was back to her room, Nan Hua wrote a letter to Old Madam Long, telling her that she would pay a visit tomorrow. Considering Old Madam Long's style, she gave reply in less than an incense sticks of time.

The answer?

Naturally, it was accepted!

<In the Capital City>

"Senior Brother, is this the Capital City?" A young girl asked with her bright eyes. She was dressed in simple dress, but her beautiful face made her look exceptional even with such simple outfit.

Her face was clear and flawless, making her looked absolutely radiant and enchanting. Her clear eyes were bright and the corner of her eyes were long. Her curly eyelashes and misty eyes made her look even cuter.

Her round face told others that she was still fairly young, but she gave off the innocent and pure vibe all around her.

Beside her, a young man was sitting on the carriage. He had a defined face and after years of relentless practice, his face looked much healthier. With clear jawline and refined appearance, he could easily attract others. At the same time, faint smell of herbs could be smelled from him.

He looked at the young girl beside him helplessly. "Thirteenth Junior Sister Luo, didn't I tell you that we will visit the Capital City?"

"You did, Eleventh Senior Brother." Junior Sister Luo, Luo Qing Wei, pursed her lips mischievously. Her rosy red lips then parted slightly as if she wanted to add something, but after some thoughts, she decided not to.

The man beside her, Kuang Shen, merely smiled helplessly. He looked at the Capital City not far from them as he started to reminiscence about the past. It has been a few years since the last time he visited the Capital City.

Back then, he was just a sickly kid.

He didn't have anything and was so helpless.

Now, four years later, he finally returned. He might not be an adult yet, but he already had the qualification to be here today.

"Senior Brother Kuang, thank you for agreeing to my request to bring me here." Luo Qing Wei smiled brightly, showing the dimples on her cheek.

"I have plans to pay a visit here. It's not much of a trouble to bring you here." Kuang Shen smiled back. "However, this is different from the village where you used to stay. Remember to wear a veil, alright?"

"But I don't like to wear one," Luo Qing Wei whined.

"Luo Qing Wei."

"Fine, fine."

Luo Qing Wei knew that when her senior brother started to call her with her full name, it meant that he was serious. She knew that it was important to keep etiquette and all, but she didn't like to wear a veil.

It restricted her greatly, not allowing her to move in accordance to what she wanted.

Kuang Shen nodded in satisfaction when Luo Qing Wei agreed. "Good girl."

"Senior Brother Kuang, I'm 13, so I'm not a child anymore."

"I know."

"So, please stop treating me like a kid, okay?"

Turning his head to look at the young girl beside him, Kuang Shen really didn't know what to do. The girl was looking at him pleadingly with her bright eyes, looking exceptionally enchanting that he didn't know what to do.

In the end, Kuang Shen could only nod his head. "Fine, fine, our Qing Wei is already growing up slightly."

Luo Qing Wei pouted once more when she heard what her senior brother said. Even though she knew that the adult age for women were 15 years of age, she still felt that she had already grown up.

At least… she's not a little kid.

Yep, she's not a little kid.

"Senior Brother, where are we going to?" Luo Qing Wei asked curiously.

"Master told us to pay a visit to his old friend who fell sick." Kuang Shen then recalled the letter he received not long ago. "We're going to stay in an inn where Master used to stay. Don't worry, I know the owner well, so they wouldn't mistreat us."

"That's great!"

Kuang Shen nodded and turned his head to look outside once more. Since he had returned to the Capital City of Fei Yang Kingdom, it was also time for him to finish his unfinished business from before.

As for the task from his Master?

He knew very well that it was the task for his junior sister considering that her capabilities… had long far surpassed him and many others. If she couldn't treat Traveling Doctor Liu's old friend, he was sure that he would never be able to do it either.

It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the Capital City.

Kuang Shen arranged for the two of them to stay in the inn where his Master used to stay and then talked to the owner.

"I didn't expect to see you here again." The owner smiled when he saw Kuang Shen walked out after he had settled the two rooms. "And you even come with your sister."

"Yeah, she's my junior sister." Kuang Shen took out a sealed bamboo tube. "I would need your help to deliver this letter."

"Letter? To whom?"

"Long Family Residence."

The owner's eyebrows arched. "To send a letter to that family, you would need to be someone important. They wouldn't accept just anyone to send them letter."

"Don't worry." Kuang Shen smiled. "When they know it's me, they'll accept."

"Alright, if you say so. I'll charge you the fee, though."

"Okay, okay, I'm not lacking in money at all."

Kuang Shen smiled faintly. He felt that it was truly a blessing for him to be able to meet his Master that day. His life… changed completely.
