Joy of Life: Starting from Teacher Fan Xian

Chapter 155 Do What You Like

"When did Miss Haitang come to Jiangnan?"

"The Supervisory Council has spies all over the world. Lord Lin was able to find Brother Mu Peng's residence. How could he not know when Duo Duo came to Jiangnan?"

Haitang Duoduo said very impolitely, then turned around and saluted reluctantly, "Master said that we should be more respectful to Master Lin."

She was not angry because of what she had just said, but she was thinking about her senior brother Mu Peng who was devoted to medical treatment and took the trouble to come to Jiangnan to look for rare medicinal materials from overseas to help study difficult and complicated diseases and relieve the suffering of the people.

Unexpectedly, such a benevolent act would result in harassment from Qing Kingdom's secret service, so the saint showed obvious resistance.

Even though her mission to the south this time was related to Lin Ruo behind her.

"Last night Zong Zhui told me that there were other guests in the courtyard. It turned out to be Miss Haitang."

"I know. I spotted him last night, but he ran too fast and I didn't catch up with him."

Didn’t Zong Zhui say that he hadn’t been exposed? It seems that he is quite concerned about his reputation. Lin Ruo smiled and said, “Miss Haitang may have misunderstood something.”

Haitang Duoduo paused and stopped: "Then what are you doing here?"

Fan Ruoruo came up and bowed: "Ruoruo is devoted to medicine, and I am here to learn medicine from Mr. Mu Peng."

Haitang Duoduo was very surprised. She had never thought of this possibility. She coughed and said, "Are you Fan Xian's sister?"

"It's me." Fan Ruoruo replied.

As a disciple of Tianyi Dao, he should not believe in one-sided words, but Haitang Duoduo could not doubt it at all.

After all, the character of Mr. Lin in front of him is well known to the world, and with the innocent little girl...

"My senior brother is from Northern Qi. What do you think about me taking him as your master?" Haitang Duoduo asked cautiously.

"Medical science knows no national boundaries. I don't think Mr. Mu would just watch someone die without helping him simply because he is from Nanqing." Lin Ruo answered seriously.

Haitang Duoduo reluctantly nodded, but asked, "What Lord Lin said makes sense, but would your suspicious emperor think so?"

"Master Zhuang Mohan is from Northern Qi, but he cares about the world's literature and has accepted Scholar Shu from my Qing country as his disciple. The Emperor of my Qing country has no objection to this. On the contrary, he has always regarded Scholar Shu as an important official of the country. What do you think, Miss Haitang?" Lin Ruo continued.

Haitang Duoduo responded, convinced: "Come with me, my brother is in the inner courtyard."

The simple inner courtyard was filled with a strong aroma of medicine. The shelves filled with medicines were stacked in a disorderly manner, facing the not-too-hot early morning sun.

The house is also cluttered and you can vaguely see that people don't pay much attention to daily life.

Ku He's second disciple Mu Peng was bending over at this time, cleaning the dried medicinal herbs without caring about his image.

His hair was a little messy, similar to Mr. Fei's, but his complexion looked relatively normal and energetic.

"My senior brother usually doesn't pay much attention to his personal manners, please forgive me." Haitang Duoduo said, glancing at the little girl. Not to mention the hard work of seeking medical treatment, the environment was just like this.

She found it hard to believe that the neat-loving little girl would accept it.

Picking up the medicinal leaves on the ground, Fan Ruoruo smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll tidy up the yard from now on. This is how all apprentices get here."

For Ruoruo, she has never been a noble person since she was a child, nor is she one of those little girls who like to act like a spoiled child.

He is lively and enthusiastic, generous and graceful, and has a peaceful personality when alone. He likes to concentrate on things and can naturally accept such a hard and boring environment.

Besides, doing something you like is never boring. After spending quite a while with her brother, Ruoruo has learned some basics. When she saw the medicine shelf next to her was messy, she couldn't help but tidy it up.

"He's kinder than Fan Xian." Haitang Duoduo commented angrily.

Fan Ruoruo was not annoyed when she heard this. Her brother was sometimes too frivolous. She knew about the aphrodisiac incident at the border.

Haitang Duoduo does have the right to blame her brother.

"Miss Haitang, do you mean that you agree?" Lin Ruo said with a smile.

"I'm not the one accepting you as my disciple." Haitang Duoduo brushed the dust off her sleeves, walked forward, and said loudly, "Brother, a guest is coming, please stop making trouble for now."

Upon hearing this, Mu Peng scratched his messy hair, wiped the sweat off his face, and then stood up politely. It was obvious that he had listened to Haitang's words just now.

After all, there is a woman among the visitors, and it's not like she's alone in the mountains where she can't be disturbed, so naturally she still has to be careful.

"My senior brother is very easy to talk to. If you have anything to say, just talk to him yourself." Haitang Duoduo sat down on the stool next to her and rubbed her waist which was sore from standing too straight.

Mu Peng sighed: "I'm not deaf, I can hear what you say."

"Oh, really? Then every time you were sorting the herbs, you couldn't hear me calling you." Haitang Duoduo complained.

"Too busy." Mu Peng replied simply, and bowed to the visitor, "I have always heard of Lord Lin's great name in Nanqing. After meeting him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary."

Lin Ran returned the greeting.

Fan Ruoruo stepped forward and bowed: "Ruoruo greets Mr. Mu Peng."

Mu Peng waved his hand: "I know why you are here, but I am sorry, I am used to being alone, and I really have no intention of accepting disciples."

Lin Ruo nodded and said, "There is no need to accept a disciple. Just let Ruo Ruo stay here. It won't bother Senior Brother Mu too much. By the way, she can also help Senior Brother Mu tidy up the yard."

Mu Peng thought, what's the difference between staying here and accepting a disciple, so it's the same as saying nothing.

"What Senior Brother Mu Peng is worried about is that teaching his disciples takes up time and affects his ability to do other things." Lin Ruo said sympathetically, then smiled.

"Ruoruo is a smart girl. She can understand many things at a glance. Senior Brother Mupeng can just focus on his own work. Just don't mind having a bystander around."

Fan Ruoruo quickly responded: "Mr. Mu doesn't need to worry about the students. I can learn by myself and help you with things in my spare time."

"It would be a waste if you don't use such good labor, brother." Haitang Duoduo also interjected.

Mu Peng was somewhat persuaded. It seemed that there was really no impact.

But then he frowned slightly, thinking that he would have to pay more attention to his image in the future in the courtyard and not be able to be as free and easy as he pleases.

Subconsciously tidying up his messy hair, Mu Peng said helplessly: "Okay, then Miss Ruoruo can stay, but life will be hard, so you have to endure a little more."

"Yeah, no problem." Ruoruo nodded repeatedly, "Doing what you like is more important than anything else."

Mu Peng particularly agreed with this statement. He still remembered that when he joined the Tianyi Sect, he abandoned martial arts and devoted himself to medicine. His master also told him the same thing.

If a person sets his mind to it, he can do anything well. Mu Peng couldn't help but be optimistic about this little girl. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely teach her.
