"I am your senior martial brother." Gu Jingtian hurriedly tried to leverage their relationship.
"Nonsense." Zhu Yanyi tossed two words at her. "If you weren't my senior brother, I wouldn't bother talking to you." It seemed that after all that talk, she could only use their sibling bond to beg for secret manuals.
Gu Jingtian looked at Zhu Yanyi, amused and helpless. Zhu Yanyi sighed. "Alright, alright, stop acting pitiful. I really don't have any copies right now. I'll write one out from memory for you when I have time."
A smile appeared on Gu Jingtian's face. "I knew my junior sister is very reliable."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Gu Jingtian. She hadn't realized she was so thick-skinned.
The master and two disciples chatted and laughed, ignoring the scenery outside as if it had nothing to do with them. After about two hours in the car, it stopped. One of the bodyguards got out first, opened the door, and the master and disciples stepped out one by one. Zhu Yanyi looked around. The place was very open, a vast plain. She hadn't expected such a place near the capital, and her face showed some surprise.
Old Master Yao smiled. She didn't explain the environment, just patted Zhu Yanyi. "Let's go."
Zhu Yanyi nodded and followed Old Master Yao inside. Through the gate, they saw a training ground with many soldiers practicing. Their training looked extreme. Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. It seemed they had entered a specific training base.
The bodyguard led them through a row of buildings to a special courtyard. Inside was a three-story building. The bodyguard led them to the third floor and opened the door. It was a small clinic, equipped with basic tools.
"Please wait here. I will arrange things and bring them in one by one in order," the bodyguard said respectfully.
"Wait." Zhu Yanyi walked to a table, took a piece of paper, and wrote a prescription. "Buy these herbs and bring some medicine pots here. We need them for detoxification. We will brew the medicine ourselves."
"Okay." The bodyguard nodded, took the prescription, and left. Soon, someone delivered the herbs. Zhu Yanyi had already shown the prescription to Old Master Yao. Once the herbs arrived, Old Master Yao, Gu Jingtian, and Zhu Yanyi checked them first. After confirming they were fine, they prepared to brew the medicine. Ten pots were brought. Gu Jingtian supervised the brewing, keeping the medicine warm. They needed to brew nineteen doses in total.
Once preparations were done, Zhu Yanyi notified people in Old Master Yao's name to bring the patients in, one by one.
The first one in was a boy, brought by the original bodyguard.
The boy came over. Old Master Yao let Zhu Yanyi handle it. Zhu Yanyi nodded and smiled at the boy. "Little brother, don't be afraid. Come, let Auntie check your pulse."
"Is Auntie playing a game?" The boy was a bit scared. Since coming here, although there were other children, he couldn't see his parents. He felt lonely and missed them.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "You can call me Ani. I want to be a doctor, so I am with my master. I learned to check pulses. Shall I check yours?"
