Lu Yangyang strode forward.
Luo Jing stopped in his tracks, looking at Lu Yangyang's back, and then thought of Jiang Zhiyi.
I think of the brothers I used to have in the village.
I think of my comrades who fought side by side on the battlefield.
He carried the weight of that horrific tragedy of mountains of corpses and seas of blood in his heart, yet he was powerless to do anything. So he desperately tried to take on more responsibility and save more innocent people, to the point that he overlooked what they truly wanted.
He used to be just an ordinary person. There was a huge gap between his thoughts and perceptions and everything he had experienced, a gap he couldn't see through or understand.
He has been living in a daze until now, yet he is also lucky, as he seems to have vaguely grasped what he should do.
The hazy, worn-out light in Luo Jing's eyes slowly gathered, and he strode to catch up with the person in front of him.
Lu Yangyang hadn't gone far when Wen Qingqing stopped her, looking at her with a serious expression: "You are my uncle's disciple, why did you hide it from me?"
Lu Yangyang looked completely bewildered: "What did you say?"
Wen Qingqing's eyes widened, and she pointed at her: "You're still pretending!"
Lu Yangyang raised her hand and pressed down on her fingers: "Wait a minute, let me sort this out. What did you say again? I'm your uncle's disciple. Who is your uncle?"
Wen Qingqing said urgently, "My uncle is Wen Yu, aren't you his apprentice?"
Lu Yangyang: "..."
Wen Qingqing: "What kind of expression is that?"
Lu Yangyang: "If I told you that I only just found out that your uncle is Wen Yu, and that he is my master, would you believe me?"
Wen Qingqing: "You're not lying to me?"
Lu Yangyang was speechless: "Think about it carefully. Did I ever ask you who your uncle is? Why would I ask about your uncle for no reason? Since I didn't ask, how could I possibly know? My master never told me that he came from Medicine God Valley. I just vaguely sensed that I had seen some of the things you know from my master, but I can't judge that he is your uncle based on that alone. Think about it, is it ridiculous?"
Wen Qingqing choked.
"You're right, you really didn't ask me. What a coincidence! It seems we really are destined to be together," Wen Qingqing said to herself.
Lu Yangyang was speechless again.
She never expected this to happen. She had indeed suspected that Wen Qingqing might be related to Wen Yu, but how could she possibly guess that Wen Yu was Wen Qingqing's uncle! She had studied medicine with Wen Yu for two years, but she had never heard Wen Yu mention any family...
However, she had no doubt that the two were uncle and nephew, after all, the saying "nephew-uncle" was not just a figure of speech.
She finally understood why she always felt that Wen Qingqing and Wen Yu were somewhat similar; both of them were people who were oblivious to everything else and focused solely on their research.
Wen Yu traveled far and wide to improve his medical skills, and he could stay up for days and nights without closing his eyes for a single prescription, not thinking about anything else. Wen Qingqing was exactly like him, with nine-tenths of her focus on researching poisons.
This is probably a talent passed down in the Wen family.
but……
How did Wen Qingqing find out?
She looked up at Sheng Junyi not far away. He was leaning against a wooden post with his arms crossed, his eyes closed as if he was resting.
Lu Yangyang turned to Wen Qingqing and asked, "Did he tell you?"
Wen Qingqing nodded: "Yes."
Lu Yangyang walked towards Sheng Junyi, scrutinizing her with a questioning look. Sheng Junyi yawned and had no choice but to open her eyes: "Hmm?"
Lu Yangyang: "How did you know that my master is Wen Qingqing's uncle? You'd better not say you guessed."
Sheng Junyi: "...Someone told me."
"Who?"
Sheng Junyi tilted her head and raised an eyebrow slightly. "I think it's better if I don't tell you. Telling you would make my words seem even less credible. I suppose we're not the kind of people who can trust each other, don't you think?"
Lu Yangyang stared at him for a moment.
Sheng Junyi: "What are you looking at?"
Lu Yangyang: "I wonder if you've been possessed by some monster. From the moment I saw you, I couldn't figure out your purpose."
Sheng Junyi chuckled: "If I were some kind of monster, wouldn't you suspect that I would be the first one to eat you?"
Lu Yangyang rolled her eyes: "I don't care what kind of monster you are, you better not fall into my hands."
"After you leave the capital, the Lan family will also be returning to their ancestral home. The Lan family's ancestral home is in Jiangling, which happens to be in the Jiangnan region. However, they haven't set off yet when I left the capital. My maternal grandfather suffered a serious injury, so he probably won't arrive so soon. I'll go visit him in a few days. If you need any letters to take with you, I can deliver them for you." Sheng Junyi became slightly more serious. "On the day His Highness was deposed, Sheng Yunzhu, fearing she would be married off to the Zheng family, secretly ran away. She stopped my mother on the road, wanting her to help her. After my mother refused, she went mad and tried to stab my mother to death in anger. Just then, Xiao Wu ran over and took the blow for my mother. I took him to the clinic, and the doctor said he had damaged his kidneys and would no longer be able to practice martial arts."
Lu Yangyang frowned slightly.
“I’ve always been jealous of my older brother since I was little, because everyone liked him, while no one cared about anything I did. My mother told me that she always treated everyone equally, but she didn’t know that her equality only meant never lacking anything materially. She never praised me; she would only say that I should be like my older brother. She told me to be happy and not to always be so preoccupied, always feeling that she was comparing me to my older brother. But in my memory, I’ve never had a moment of affirmation that belonged to me. So I did things for my father, hoping to gain their approval. I thought I was doing a good job. As long as I succeeded, as long as I could help my father get what he wanted, I could prove myself. I was willing to do anything for that.” Sheng Junyi laughed self-deprecatingly: “But it wasn’t until you came along that I realized I was the clown. What never existed in the first place, no matter how much you try to prove it, will never exist.”
“You are like this, I am like this, and Xiao Wu is like this too. Even my eldest brother, the biggest difference between him and me is that he had his own goals to pursue long ago. He regarded the Sheng family as his responsibility, rather than the kinship he desperately craved.”
“Not everyone is lucky enough to have good parents, and not everyone is lucky enough to find themselves right from the start.” Sheng Junyi looked at Lu Yangyang: “I’m telling you this not to erase our past grievances, but just to tell you that I’ve given up on what I couldn’t have.”
"And then?" Lu Yangyang met his eyes.
Sheng Junyi narrowed his eyes: "In the future, I plan to create a martial arts sect to collect intelligence on corrupt officials. Cheng Hui, I can give you a 20% discount."
