Chapter 322 - Apology (1)

"If you still call me Master, you should have known not to put yourself in danger and make everyone worry!" Traveling Doctor Liu chided, but his eyes revealed his relief upon seeing that Nan Hua was fine.

Nan Hua lowered her head and said nothing. She was really not used to this. Back then, there was no one who would care whether she was alive or dead. All they wanted was for the mission to end perfectly.

But here, there were more and more people who came to see her when something happened. They showed her concern that she didn't think she would ever get in her entire life.

It was strange.

It was new for her.

But she didn't dislike it.

It made her feel warm, a feeling that she never knew she had.

An aged hand rubbed her hair tenderly. Nan Hua raised her head and saw Traveling Doctor Liu smiled at her tenderly. "Silly girl, you're really something to make everyone so worried in just a short period of time. Thankfully, you're fine."

"Mhm."

"You should have told your twin brother at the very least about your plan." Traveling Doctor Liu continued to pat her head.

Nan Hua's eyes flashed. "It won't be real."

Won't be real?

Traveling Doctor Liu and Shan Yu were confused for a moment before they realized that Nan Hua must mean that they wouldn't be able to act for real. The other children knew how to act but for them to act so realistically, she chose not to tell them about her plan.

Technically, it was not wrong.

But Traveling Doctor Liu began to feel a bit of pity to those brats.

Traveling Doctor Liu sighed at that thought. He looked at the little girl in front of him as he smiled tenderly. "In that case, Hua'er, what do you plan to do now?"

"Mhm, rest." Actually, she wanted to visit the Dark Moon Organization for a bit because they performed worse than what she thought. It was time for her to spank Nan San and the dancers again.

"That's a good idea. I'll be staying in Wind City for a while. During this time, you can learn under me for the time being."

"Mhm."

Nan Hua thought that it was also good. She still had many things she wanted to learn from Traveling Doctor Liu. To be able to learn under him again meant that she would be able to increase her skill.

There was nothing wrong with learning more.

"Roll your sleeve. I want to see your injury."

Nan Hua was about to do it herself when Shan Yu stepped forward and helped her. He looked at his junior sister and laughed lightly. "Junior Sister Hua, do you know that Master is so worried about you?"

"I'm not injured."

Nan Hua really felt that these two were treating her as if she was a cripple. She was really fine.

Traveling Doctor Liu didn't want to hear her words as he checked her pulse to make sure that his disciple was really fine.

On the other hand, Nan Hua looked at her own hand. To be exact, she was looking at her left arm. There was a glaring red dot over there. When she first saw it, she thought that it was birth mark, but then she recalled that there was something called chastity mark.

It was the method used by people in the ancient time to make sure that a woman was pure or not.

After all, women basically had no status in this world and they were only worth something if they were pure and untainted before marriage.

Nan Hua also knew that no matter how much her father abused the original Nan Hua, he was not stupid enough to completely destroy her. He still needed her in order to be able to marry Long Qian Xing and there was no way the Long Family would accept her if she was not pure.

Such method to test virginity had long been lost in her original world, though.

"You should rest." Traveling Doctor Liu looked at his disciple. His eyes narrowed as he thought of what he sensed earlier.

"Senior Sister Chen had already helped me, Master."

"I know."

Chen Yuan specialized in acupuncture and incense stick making. She was very good at both of them that Traveling Doctor Liu felt that he didn't have much to teach her in those two matters either. All he could do was to give her the guidance and let her do the rest.

"Mhm."

Traveling Doctor Liu looked at his little disciple and sighed lightly. All of his disciples always have a lot of problems when he first met them.

History Corner: Chastity Mark

In ancient times, Shougongsha was a medicine used to verify the virginity of women in ancient China. It is said that as long as it is painted on a woman's body, it will not disappear all year round. But once a girl has… ugh relationship with a man in a bed (you know what I mean) it will immediately disappear.

Shougongsha, the focus is on the word "shou", which means to keep chastity, "gong" means palace, which is the same as the description of the womb. Modern science has confirmed that Shougongsha is made by female chameleons. When it meets androgens, estrogen and androgens will neutralize and disappear.

(Don't ask me what are those… I only know it's related to hormone or something like that…. I hate complicated biology…. >.<)

Since the actual shougong sand in ancient times has now been lost, it is not known whether there is any discrepancy between the shougong sand in ancient times and the records. The real recipe was lost, so it's not known for exact what the ingredients used for it.

It's usually painted on a girl's left wrist or left arm. I'm not exactly sure because there are several different records. (and if you watch Chinese drama, some are painted on the wrist while some others are higher above).

More information can be searched on your own.

For this story… I'll just say left arm.
