Chapter 23 (2)
It took Dongfang Wanyu a little while to see that the other party was refining pills.
"Wanyu, I can't help but be jealous of your good fortune, this Nan Nan is clearly an alchemist, what a coincidence! Don't you happen to be short of a pill?" Qing Mo said in her head.
Dongfang Wanyu came in quietly and went out quietly.
"She's deliberately letting me see it."
The two Nan siblings gave her a strange feeling, they didn't look like a brother and sister who grew up in misery, there must be a story they didn't know about.
"Since she intentionally showed that to you, she must want to ask for something, plus you saved her yesterday." Qing Mo's words were spot on.
"The one who really saved her was Ninth Sister." Dongfang Wanyu mumbled.
"Why doesn't Miss Qian get some more sleep?" Suddenly a nice voice sounded from behind her.
Dongfang Wanyu turned around and saw Nan Fei's wheelchair spinning towards this side, he seemed to be having some difficulty. She simply walked over and helped him push it.
"I'll help you, are you going somewhere? I'll push you over." Dongfang Wanyu kindly said.
"The vegetables in the field are ripe, just in time to add to your meal." Nan Fei pointed to a small vegetable garden behind their house.
Dongfang Wanyu headed over to his destination, the vegetables in the garden were so ripe with not a single weed that could be seen, they were obviously tended to regularly.
"Let me help you."
"Does Miss Qian also think I'm useless? I can't walk on my legs and I only give Nan Nan a lot of trouble." Nan Fei laughed bitterly.
Dongfang Wanyu did not expect Nan Fei to be so sensitive, her outstretched hand retracted, "You are her dearest brother, I don't think she ever thought of you as troublesome."
The two siblings were worried about each other, but neither was willing to say anything.
Nan Fei nodded, "Miss Qian is right, I'm the one who's being overbearing."
Dongfang Wanyu looked at his legs, "They're all about to get up, we'd better hurry up."
Nan Fei took a pair of scissors from somewhere, he bent over as far as he could and aimed the scissors at the vegetables. Dongfang Wanyu saw him move skillfully and put her mind at ease.
Dongfang Minghui rolled her eyes as she walked to the door, and all she saw was a warm scene, the two occasionally smiled at each other and looked like they were getting along very well.
"The plot's finally moving in the normal direction."
"Minghui, what are you whispering about all by yourself?" Nan Nan asked from behind her.
Dongfang Minghui immediately turned around smiling, "Good morning Nan Nan, nothing much just noticing that my sister and your brother were tending to vegetables in the garden."
Nan Nan ran to the door to see, "They're up pretty early."
Dongfang Minghui helped her with the porridge as she inquired, "Nan Nan, your brother's leg… how did he get hurt? What did the doctor say? Is there any possibility of your brother standing up again?"
Nan Nan's hand stirring the porridge paused, "My big brother is a Water Spiritualist, and it happened while he was practicing. It was an accident and the doctor said that he had missed the best time for treatment, there's no hope anymore."
Dongfang Minghui crocked her head. This was obviously not right, Nan Fei's legs would get better somehow otherwise, he wouldn't be able to be together with the Female Protagonist.
"Brother, Wanyu, come over and have some porridge."
With a simple bowl of porridge and a large bowl of cold wild vegetables, Dongfang Wanyu pushed Nan Fei to the appropriate seat and sat down, ready to eat.
Dongfang Minghui's eyes swiveled around their faces as she ate and thought to herself about the future plot direction while eating finishing the bowl of porridge before she knew it.
"Minghui, Wanyu, are you two here for the Royal Academy registration as well?" During the meal, Nan Nan suddenly mentioned it.
Dongfang Minghui looked at the Female Protagonist and found that the other party seemed to show no reaction so she nodded, "Nan Nan you're so smart, how did you know that?"
The fact that she knew that they were from outside of the city showed that she was very observant and had a good eye for detail.
Nan Nan smiled slightly, "Not really that smart at all, it's just that when I was out working, I saw many people heading to the Royal Academy. Seeing you guys had just arrived at Snow Capital yesterday as well, I'm guessing you're both here to sign up."
"Working?" Dongfang Wanyu repeated.
Before Nan Nan could explain, Nan Fei chimed in, "Nan Nan, in order to feed the family, she'll often refine some pills to be sold in the Northern District."
Dongfang Minghui's eyes suddenly lit up, "Then are you still going today?"
Nan Nan nodded, "Yeah, in half an hour."
Dongfang Minghui tugged at the Female Protagonist's hem underneath, her big eyes winking at her.
Wow that's cheating Minghui!
This was the look that Dongfang Wanyu had gotten used to whenever she had something she wanted, "Nan Nan, if it's convenient can you take us with you?"
"Sure." Nan Nan readily agreed, then reminded, "But the Northern District is full of dangerous people. A lot of mercenaries like to go to this place, you need to be a little careful."
Dongfang Wanyu then considered how she'd beaten up that Lu Peng young master yesterday, Nan Nan had said that the Lu family was a big force in the Snow Capital. They would obviously come to her door again.
Appearing openly in the Northern District, isn't it the same as directly telling someone that she beat up that person?
After the meal, Dongfang Wanyu pulled Nan Nan away and asked, "Yesterday's incident, what do you think we should do about it?"
Nan Nan flinched and a pained look appeared on her face, "I'm sorry, I got you guys into this, I was inconsiderate, how about you both don't go to the Northern District today, it's better to hurry and sign up to the academy."
Dongfang Wanyu looked at her indifferently, "Ninth sister is a bit simple, if she didn't want to save you yesterday, I definitely wouldn't have made a move. I've never been one to beat around the bush with people, so what's your purpose?"
