Wu Yue’s mind raced, and he blurted out, “Young Master… it was actually due to psychological reasons that he couldn’t interact with women before. It’s only since Miss Nan appeared that his symptoms disappeared!”

After saying this, he became somewhat emotional. “Miss Nan, for the Young Master, you are the most special presence. The two of you are undoubtedly destined to be together!”

Nan Yan was somewhat surprised.

The Young Master couldn’t interact with women before?

That first meeting, when he didn’t throw her out, must have been his gentlemanly manners at play. She had flirted with him fearlessly at the time and hadn’t provoked his anger, showing his broad-mindedness and tolerance.

As for destiny…

Seeing the way they were now, she didn’t believe there wasn’t something special between them.

Wu Yue cautiously glanced at Nan Yan’s expression.

Seeing that she wasn’t angry, he let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn’t tarnish the Young Master’s image. Otherwise, if Miss Nan suspected him of being sexist because of the Young Master, he’d be in big trouble.

Next, Wu Yue became much more honest.

He was afraid of saying the wrong thing again, not being able to smooth it over and causing more harm than good.

They took the elevator directly to the underground parking garage. Nan Yan sat in the front passenger seat and instructed Wu Yue to drive to a night club.

She wanted to see what the nightlife in the capital city was like and what fun it had to offer.

“A night… club?” Wu Yue’s eyes widened. “Miss Nan, can we go somewhere else?”

If the Young Master found out that he had taken Miss Nan to a night club, he would definitely beat him up.

Nan Yan said in a faint tone, “If you don’t want to go, I’ll get off and take a taxi myself.”

“Please, Miss Nan, don’t be angry. I’ll drive you there right away!”

Wu Yue dared not say the word “no” anymore.

He would report to the Young Master and stick close to Miss Nan to avoid any issues.

Paradise on earth.

The largest and most elegant night club in the capital city.

It wasn’t a tacky place; instead, it dealt with antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and other collectibles.

Wu Yue was smart.

Miss Nan had only mentioned wanting to go to a night club.

But she hadn’t specified what kind of night club!

Bars and nightclubs, even if you gave him a hundred courage, he wouldn’t dare to take Miss Nan to those places.

By changing the concept and coming to this kind of night market, the problem wasn’t as significant.

After observing the situation here, Nan Yan gave Wu Yue a cold glance.

Wu Yue’s neck shrank, and he quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look at her.

Forget it, since they were here, she might as well take a casual look around.

Nan Yan didn’t necessarily want to go to a bar or nightclub.

As long as it helped pass the time.

Seeing that Nan Yan wasn’t angry and had no intention of leaving, but instead entered the antique market, Wu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

He followed behind her and quickly sent a message to the Young Master.

When he received a response from the Young Master, he hurriedly took a couple of steps forward and said, ingratiatingly, “Miss Nan, feel free to buy anything you like. The Young Master said he’ll cover it.”

Nan Yan replied nonchalantly, “Who’s buying things here? I’m just browsing.” Most of the items here were at least 95% fake, with only a small fraction being genuine.

And the prices were still so high.

She couldn’t distinguish between real and fake, and if she spent a lot of money on fakes, it would be frustrating.

Besides, she wasn’t interested in these things.

Of course, if she came across any medicinal herbs she needed, regardless of the price, she would buy them.

Wu Yue wisely followed behind her without bothering her further, being a qualified assistant.

He also reported Nan Yan’s movements to the Young Master from time to time.

After about an hour of wandering, Nan Yan yawned and was ready to return to the Qin residence.

However, as her eyes wandered, she caught sight of a street vendor displaying a mature Purple Frost Herb.

And it was a fully mature plant!

All of a sudden, Nan Yan was no longer sleepy.

She hadn’t expected that a casual visit to a night market would lead her to come across such a priceless medicinal herb!

Nan Yan squatted in front of the street vendor’s stall and inquired, “How much for this medicinal herb, sir?”

The old man selling herbs had a head full of white hair. He dressed very plainly, with patches on his clothes, but he looked quite spirited.

“Hey, young lady, you’ve got a sharp eye. Among all the herbs I’ve displayed here, this one is the most valuable, and you’ve singled it out at a glance,” the old man said with a wry smile.

Nan Yan pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word.

The old man continued with a friendly grin, “Young lady, are you studying traditional Chinese medicine?”

Nan Yan nodded and replied, “Yes, I’m studying traditional Chinese medicine.” “How much are you selling these herbs for?”

“I’m not short of money, but what I lack is an apprentice. Young lady, if you can tell me the names and properties of the herbs on my stall correctly, I’ll take you as my apprentice today, and I’ll give you all these herbs for free,” the old man said, still smiling. “Not to mention these herbs, you can choose freely from the herbs I grow in my medicinal garden.”

Nan Yan was speechless.

Wu Yue was speechless too.

Impressive, Miss Nan!

Just casually strolling around and you’re being offered an apprenticeship!

Although Wu Yue didn’t know the identity of the old man before him, having been with Qin Lu for so long, he had some discerning abilities when it came to people.

This old man was definitely extraordinary!

Nan Yan shook her head and said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t want to take on a master. If you’re willing to sell this medicinal herb, I’ll pay for it.”

“Huh? Are you looking down on me now, thinking that I don’t deserve to be your master in my current poor appearance?” The old man became a little unhappy. “Young lady, it’s your good fortune that I’ve taken an interest in you. If you knew my identity, you’d be quite surprised.”

With a slight raise of his chin, he seemed to be waiting for Nan Yan to ask about his identity.

Nan Yan sighed inwardly. She just wanted to buy a medicinal herb; why did it have to be so complicated?

“I’m sorry, if your medicinal herbs are not for sale, then I’ll just leave.”

“Hey, hey, hey, stop! Young lady, don’t go!” The old man stood up and anxiously called out to stop Nan Yan. “You’re not allowed to leave, do you hear

This time, it wasn’t just Nan Yan who was speechless; even Wu Yue found himself at a loss for words.

It was acceptable for the old man not to sell the medicinal herb if she didn’t want to become his apprentice. But not allowing her to leave without buying the herb seemed a bit too much!

Nan Yan sighed, “Sir, what exactly do you want?”

The man before her was about the same age as her grandfather, so she couldn’t be too disrespectful. Moreover, he hadn’t done anything to harm her. The old man replied confidently, “I just want to take you as my apprentice.”

“In that case, I’m leaving.”

Nan Yan, whose patience was never very good, turned to leave directly.

“As long as you’re willing to become my apprentice, I’ll give you the Hundred Herb Garden!” The old man’s voice rang out urgently from behind Nan Yan.

Nan Yan hesitated for a moment.

“Do you want it? If you do, just come over and call me ‘Master.’ No need for any formalities, no three kowtows or six bows, just call me ‘Master,”‘ the old man said, sounding a bit pitiful.

Nan Yan took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at the old man. “Are you…. the Medicine King, Sun Chan?”
