Chapter 1704: Disciple
Upon seeing Xi Yue, the woman seemed to make up her mind. She fell to her knees with a thud and begged Xi Yue in a hoarse voice, “Miss Xi Yue, I have something to ask from you!”
“To be honest, this valley is no longer safe. Someone may come here tomorrow. Miss Xi Yue, I know you are a capable person. I want to ask you to take my daughter Little Nuo away with you when you leave.”
“Mom—!” Little Nuo rushed over and hugged the woman’s hand in disbelief, crying, “Mom, why are you driving me away? Don’t you want Little Nuo anymore?”
Struggling to muster a smile, the woman wiped the tears from her daughter’s face and gently said, “Little Nuo, be good. It’s not that Mommy doesn’t want you. It’s just that you are sick, and Miss Xi Yue is skilled in medicine. If you stay with her, you can get better. Once you’re healed, you can come back to Mommy, okay?”
Xi Yue’s brows furrowed even more. However, seeing the woman’s sorrowful yet resolute expression, she remained silent.
The woman added, “Little Nuo, haven’t you always admired Sister Xi Yue? You also said that you want to learn from her and become as brilliant as Sister Xi Yue. Don’t you want to follow Sister Xi Yue?”
When the woman said this, Little Nuo hesitated.
She really liked Xi Yue and admired Xi Yue. She even fantasized that she could be like the shaman doctor and his disciples in the village and had Xi Yue as her teacher.
It would be great if she could learn these skills from Sister Xi Yue. She would then come back to take care of her mother and help the people in the tribe after learning that knowledge.
Little Nuo looked at Xi Yue timidly, “Sister Xi Yue, I… can I be your recipe?”
Xi Yue was silent for a moment. She nodded and smiled, “Okay!”
“Wow, that’s great!” Little Nuo jumped around excitedly, “Master, master, Little Nuo has a master!”
She remembered something and immediately rushed to the table to fetch water in a broken bowl. She knelt on the ground respectfully and handed it to Xi Yue, “Master, please have the tea!”
Little Red Bird turned its head away with disdain, scoffing at the idea that Xi Yue actually accepted a mortal disciple. She even used a broken bowl to carry out the ritual to honor the master. The bird felt embarrassed because of it.
Xi Yue drank and went back to pack her luggage.
In the past, when she had a storage ring, traveling didn’t seem troublesome. However, without the ability to use spiritual power, packing up for a journey took quite some effort.
Herbs, food, furs and clothes to keep out the cold were all things that were looked down upon before, but here they had to be carried on their backs.
Fortunately, she had Wei Zhi to help with the labor. Carrying a large bag of items felt heavy to Xi Yue, but the young man carried it on his back as if it weighed nothing at all.
In the room, Little Nuo nestled in her mother’s embrace, tears clinging to the corners of her eyes. Her hands were tightly clutched around the woman’s waist as she fell into a deep sleep.
In the neighboring room, Xi Yue lay on the bed and Weizhi lay on a makeshift bed on the floor. Suddenly, they simultaneously opened their eyes and looked toward the window.
From a distance, the rustling sound of footsteps approached, indicating the presence of at least a dozen people, judging by the sound.
“Creak” Xi Yue’s movement woke up the woman who was not sleeping at all.
Upon hearing Xi Yue say that someone was approaching, she immediately panicked. In her nervousness, she hastily pushed the drowsy Little Nuo, who was rubbing her eyes in a daze, into Xi Yue’s arms. “Miss Xi Yue, please, take Little Nuo and leave quickly. If you don’t leave now, it will be too late.”
Xi Yue took Little Nuo but did not leave. Instead, she gazed into the deep darkness in the distance and asked, “Who is coming, and why are you so panicked?”
