Chapter 10: Eldest Brother Becomes the Top Martial Arts Scholar

The Second Young Master Tang tilted his head, looking at his little sister in confusion. He said with a hint of disbelief, "I've seen those medical apprentices in the military camps; they have it even harder than we do. They have to go up mountains to gather herbs, identify medicinal plants, and even taste those foul-smelling, bitter medicinal soups. Could you really endure such suffering?"

Who said she wanted to study medicine? She had taken a master to make up for the regrets of her past life; she hadn't considered what she would actually be learning at all. However, after becoming a disciple, she knew from the book her master had given her that her master's skills extended far beyond just medicine.

It was just that her master had instructed her not to tell anyone the contents of that book. But since she didn't want to lie to her two brothers, she could only remain silent.

"Indeed! Little Sister, studying medicine is no joke," the Eldest Young Master Tang added, following suit with his persuasion. "Do you want to think about it again?"

"Besides, even if you learn medical skills, it's useless!" the Second Young Master Tang continued. "You are the Third Miss of our General's Manor. When you grow up, you are meant to marry into nobility and become a matriarch. No matter what, your husband's family would never allow you to show your face in public to act as a doctor!"

That was true; once she married, her husband's family would never allow her to show her face in public. However, in this life, she did not want to marry, nor did she need to rely on a husband's family. She wanted to rely on herself. Therefore, she needed to learn even more formidable skills.

"Then why are you two enduring hardships in the military camp?" Tang Wanqiu asked, changing the subject.

"We are men, the sons of the Great General!" The two young masters thumped their chests proudly. "Naturally, we cannot lose to anyone else."

Tang Wanqiu likewise held her head high and said as a matter of course, "Exactly. If you, as the sons of the Great General, can endure hardship, why can't I, the daughter of the Great General? Doesn't Father always say that our General's Manor never raises useless people? I have no intention of being a useless person."

The two Tang brothers looked at each other. Was this really their sister? In just a few days, that little girl who had vowed to become a refined lady like their mother had actually changed her ambitions. Truly, one must look at a person with fresh eyes after only three days apart!

Seeing that her two brothers were speechless, Tang Wanqiu proceeded to state the purpose of her visit.

"Actually, I came here today to say goodbye to you. In three days, I will be returning to my master's sect. For at least the next five years, I won't be able to see my two brothers. You two are not allowed to forget me."

"What? You're leaving home?"

"Would Mother and Father allow you to leave?"

The two Tang brothers exclaimed in unison.

"Master will speak to Mother and Father himself. However, I have already decided. Even if Mother and Father disagree, I will go with Master," Tang Wanqiu declared her intentions with a firmness she had never shown before.

Even if Mother and Father didn't agree, she would still go?

The two Tang brothers were shocked once again. They had never seen their little sister wear such a persistent expression. Could this little sister have been brainwashed by her master?!

"It's so good at home! We all treasure you so much, and yet you're actually willing to leave us?" the Eldest Brother said with a wrinkled nose, sounding displeased.

"Eldest Brother, Second Brother, before I leave, I have a few words to say to you. You must remember them," Tang Wanqiu ignored her brothers' stunned expressions and continued her instructions. "Three years from now, if Eldest Brother is fortunate enough to become the Martial Scholar, whatever you do, do not attend any banquets hosted by others."

In her past life, the Eldest Brother had become the Martial Scholar three years later.
