Chapter 354: Little Junior Brother

“Oh, by the way, do you remember what the bandits that attacked you guys look like?” asked Ning Shu.
The little boy nodded. “It was a very good-looking man.”
Ning Shu’s heart flipped. “Did he look like a scholar?”
The boy nodded again. “He did. The moment he opened his mouth, he accused my dad of oppressing the common citizens by selling things at overly high prices and depriving them of the fruits of their labors. My dad explained that our family has always done business honestly and had never done anything like artificially inflating the prices, but that person refused to listen.”
Fudge, this chunni person was definitely Wen Ruhua. As expected, he really had turned out like this.
He was going around flaunting his righteousness, but what right did he have to kill people?
Who gave him the right to take the lives of others? He was clearly just taking out his discontent on others.
Ning Shu was starting to feel the urge to kill him.
“Let’s go.” Ning Shu brought the boy back to the bamboo house.
The godly doctor was waiting at the door for them to return. When he saw the jug in the boy’s hands, he said mildly, “Wash up and go eat.”
The little boy placed the ashes in the room. As he ate dinner, tears kept streaming down his cheeks. The godly doctor lifted some vegetables with his chopsticks and placed it into the child’s bowl as he said, “From now on, you should just learn medicine from me.”
“Thank you, Master,” said the boy as he struggled to hold back his tears.
“It’s still a little too early to call me master. Some ceremonies are still required for you to become a formal apprentice, those things can’t be neglected,” said the godly doctor mildly.
Ning Shu was peeved. There were ceremonies? This meant that this guy had never considered accepting her as an apprentice from the start!
But he still had her fertilize the herbs and pull out weeds just to torment her!?
The next day, the boy first washed until he was squeaky clean, then he did kowtows and ate herbs. After an entire sequence of ceremonies, he became the godly doctor’s disciple, and he was the only disciple too. Ning Shu could only envy as she watched from the side.
Now that the little boy had officially become the godly doctor’s apprentice, Ning Shu’s identity became a bit awkward since she wasn’t the godly doctor’s apprentice. The godly doctor said mildly, “In the future, you can just call her Senior Sister. Although she’s useless, she had been learning from me for a while and started learning earlier than you.”
What did he mean by useless? His way of speaking was way too harsh.
“Senior Sister!” called Xu Yu as he turned towards Ning Shu who had a sinister expression on her face. Ning Shu laughed, then responded, “Little Junior Brother.”
Xu Yu started studying hard. The godly doctor gave him a lot of tasks and Xu Yu threw himself into his studies in order to distract himself from the pain of losing his parents.
Although Ning Shu wasn’t the godly doctor’s apprentice, the godly doctor demanded just as much from her. However, Ning Shu had no objections since this was a good chance to learn a useful ability.
Still, she was worried about the godly doctor accidentally concocting aphrodisiac. To someone like the godly doctor, this was the most low-level mistake ever.
In addition, the drug was not good for his body. Aphrodisiacs cause people to be excited to the point that they couldn’t hold themselves back and their heartbeats would quicken. It was amazing that the godly doctor didn’t have a heart attack, but that was probably due to his main lead halo.
“Master ah, don’t concoct any medicine, alright? If you need to make something, let this apprentice do it for you. If that won’t do, there’s Xu Yu. You can have him do it. It’s a must for disciples to help their masters, right?” Ning Shu glanced towards Xu Yu.
“That’s right, Master.” Xu Yu hastily nodded.
#comment: Hmm, but why do I feel like Ning Shu has way greater chances of messing up and accidentally making an aphrodisiac?
