n

nShe was his biological sister, yet he left her here alone.

n

n“I want to go with you, Big Brother.”

n

nQian Jiyun did not care what his sister wanted and insisted, “Stay here.”

n

nThings did not look optimistic outside. Even with An Jiuyue’s prescription, it would be difficult to control the epidemic effectively if it spread widely.

n

nHe did not mention earlier that they could not control the spread of the epidemic disease in the military camp due to a lack of two of the herbs required for the medicine.

n

nIt still would still require time even if the medicine was delivered to them from somewhere nearby.

n

nThey might not die if they contracted the epidemic disease, but they would suffer.

n

n“Why can’t you bring me along if you can bring Sister-in-law along? It’s not like I haven’t been to the military camp before,” Qian Yiyun objected and stomped her feet.

n

nShe had stayed in the military camp several times in the last five years—and for quite a while each time.

n

nI’m not unfamiliar with the military camp. On the other hand, my sister-in-law has never stayed there, so she should stay home, right?

n

n“If Sister-in-law can go, why can’t I?”

n

nQian Jiyun was silent for a moment. He lowered his head and chuckled. Then, he looked up at Qian Yiyun seriously.

n

n“How about this? I’ll bring you to the forest tomorrow morning. If you can hunt a wild boar on your own like Jiuyue and identify 10 medicinal herbs, I’ll take you with me,” he suggested.

n

nQian Yiyun was surprised.

n

nShe had learned some pharmacology and could barely recognize 10 medicinal herbs.

n

nHowever, she could not hunt wild boars. She reckoned the wild boars would hunt her instead!

n

n“Forget it then. I’ll stay here. I can also supervise those people to chop enough firewood.”

n

nAs the saying goes, a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him. That applies to me too! I shouldn’t allow myself to suffer, right?

n

nSettling for the next best thing is good too. Staying here to supervise those people chopping wood is also a form of entertainment, right?

n

n“Mhm.” Qian Jiyun nodded in satisfaction.

n

n“Jiuyue will leave Warrior-Servant One behind. Remember to stay with Warrior-Servant One as much as possible when we’re not around,” he reminded.

n

n“Alright, I know.” Qian Yiyun nodded, but she was puzzled.

n

nShe had never seen Warrior-Servant One before, having only heard of him.

n

nWho is Warrior-Servant One? Does my sister-in-law have another expert by her side? He must be a formidable person if my brother thinks he can protect me well!

n

n…

n

nIn the room…

n

nAn Jiuyue was tidying her things while listening to Wei Na’s nagging in her mind.

n

n“Master, are you leaving Warrior-Servant One behind?”

n

n“Mhm.” An Jiuyue nodded. “Warrior-Servant One is strong enough. He can stay behind to guard the house and protect Qian Yiyun. Isn’t that efficient?”

n

nShe felt that it was suitable for Warrior-Servant One to stay. Someone had to stay at home. Since Qian Jiyun wanted Qian Yiyun to stay, she had to leave someone with her.

n

n“But Master…”

n

n“Is there a problem?” An Jiuyue retorted.

n

nDoes Wei Na not want me to leave Warrior-Servant One here? Or does Wei Na find him too rigid because he’s a paper effigy?

n

nWei Na sighed softly. It could not help but remind her, “Master, have you forgotten something?”
