The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!

Chapter 1069: Chapter 1069: What a Pity

The old man shook his head, "Alright, I’m hungry too, let’s stop here."

As he spoke, he sheathed his sword, then tossed it towards You Er, who instinctively reached out and caught it.

The old man said, "I broke your sword, let this one accompany you." He then turned and walked towards the inn. You Er, holding the sword, suddenly knelt to the ground, "Thank you, Senior Duanmu."

Qi Er also knelt down, "Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives."

Senior Duanmu paused, glanced at the two of them, "Get up, you don’t need to kneel to me, saving you was just repaying a favor."

You Er got up from the ground, thinking for a moment, "Senior Duanmu, do you have a past connection with my granduncle, General Wu?"

Senior Duanmu pondered for a moment, "I indeed know your granduncle, he asked me to protect you secretly this time."

"However, the favor I am repaying is not his."

He looked at You Er, "I owed a favor to your grandmother in the past, it’s good to repay it now."

"It’s just a pity for you two young lads."

You Er and Qi Er looked at him puzzled.

Senior Duanmu shook his head, "Both of you have good aptitude. It’s rare to find such intelligence, but unfortunately..." they haven’t met a good mentor.

Senior Duanmu had noticed in the canyon that the two had a mixed style of martial arts, and today’s sparring with You Er reinforced this feeling.

If the two children had a good mentor to guide them, they wouldn’t be like this now.

You Er and Qi Er have a mentor, who is Lady Wu’s fellow disciple, but the Duke often instructs them in martial arts, and Lin Shuo also guides them occasionally. They even practice military boxing with the soldiers, which makes their martial arts styles quite mixed.

Senior Duanmu had considered taking them as disciples, but unfortunately, he didn’t have much longer to live, and his health was worsening. He didn’t have the energy to teach disciples anymore.

It was for this reason that he gave his sword, which he had used for twenty years, to You Er. It would be wasted staying with him.

Senior Duanmu sighed and entered the inn.

You Er and Qi Er saw that the dishes were served and respectfully said, "Senior, dining alone might be boring, how about joining us for a meal?"

Seeing Senior Duanmu didn’t object, they moved the food to his table.

You Er ate while recalling Senior Duanmu’s advice earlier. Whenever he had doubts, he would ask him.

Senior Duanmu patiently answered his questions. The more insightful You Er was, the more Senior Duanmu felt it was a pity that he had no successor for his martial arts. Thinking of this, he sighed again.

You Er noticed that Senior Duanmu seemed troubled. "Senior, is there something troubling you? Please tell me, if I can help, I will do my utmost."

Senior Duanmu shook his head, "There’s no one in this world who can help me, unless—"

He laughed at himself and didn’t continue.

You Er hurriedly asked, "Unless what?"

"Why does Senior think I can’t help you?"

Senior Duanmu looked at him kindly, "I know your grandfather and father hold great power, but such power is useless to me."

"I am already gravely ill, not long for this world, unless a divine being descends, no one can save me."

You Er and Qi Er looked at Senior Duanmu in shock. Aside from his slightly pale face, he didn’t look like someone who was near death at all.

You Er put down his chopsticks and earnestly said to Senior Duanmu, "Senior, you only know of my grandfather and father’s power, but do you know that my mother is a renowned doctor of this era?"

"I’m not boasting, but my mother has cured countless difficult illnesses over the years, the people all call her Divine Doctor Gu."

"Senior, why not come with us to Xiang City, perhaps my mother can cure your illness."
