is she really not unwell due to pregnancy ,I should talk to father about this matter atleast once more "as yan tian was murmuring these words his father came back to the house and went to visit his wife but before going to see her he went to kowtow to his ancestors and left to see his wife their he held her hand who was laying in bed and gave her a pill to eat , yin zhou saw after seeing this pill she said"why did you buy this pill don't you know our situation " yan gouzhi ,yan tian's father said" my wife suffers and I yan gouzhi can stand and watch quietly,is that possible" after hearing these words yin zhou looked away and took the pill and went to sleep yan gouzhi caressing her hand and lost in thought sitting their, when yan tian arrived with the broth yan gouzhi who was famillar with yan tians medical skills knew that yan tian was one of the top doctors in the entire seven nations of the land of fallen stars and it was not blind confidence or fatherly love but because of proof that yan tian had already cured a great disaster known as the "plauge" in the iron well town when he was 11years old and could control the pulse to act like a dead body at first it was just shock but when he cured the emperor by his medical remidy that he had written down in his free time after hearing the emperors illness symptoms. there was no room for denial ,after that incedent yan gozhi realised that this and all his achievements must be hidden and till now only the city Lord , yan gouzhi and yin zhou is the only person who know about this little escapade of yan tian. as yan gouzhi smelled the brooth he directly snatched the bowl and drank the entire brooth ,looking at this yan tian yelled"ah that brooth was for mother why did you snatch and drink it all alone" so yan gouzhi replied "just go and make another one" hearing this yan tian picked up a table knife kept to peel the Apple and chased his father outside the room yelling the words"smelly old man die" as he was chasing ,after a while both became out of breath and sat down on a stone table , where yan gouzhi started to brew some tea to drink ,yan tian asked his father about his mothers condition"father is mother really unwell due to pregnancy or unwell due to some other reason"

yan gouzhi almost lossing his cool replied "your mother is alright, just looking a little unwell due to being pregnant,but don't worry I already gave her the medicine and she has taken it" yan tian unconvinced tried to ask but yan gouzhi said in an angry manner"enough didn't I just say that your mother took the medicine ,if you are so free why don't you go and study a little more about traps and knowledge about monster arts and spritiual beasts, if can't study then just go to sleep it is already midnight ,so stop bothering me" as yan tian was scolded he left in a hurry .yan gouzhi sitting there looked up and recalled the words of his wife"husband I don't care what happens to me but I will not take this medicinal pill, if you want me to take this pill then change little yan'ers fate and save him ,if you need it to save little yan'ers ,take this pendant and use my life as well" remembering these words he said " I will pay any prize in order to save our son, if it means that he can live without any worries, I will take on any Consiquences and accompany my wife in the afterlife " as yan gouzhi said this,yan tian in his room had heard a little bit of the conversation between his parent's " he is not ready to hear about those things so dont bother telling him just hide him or send him away from the country 'as far away as possibly' "yin zhou said to yan gouzhi " even if we send him away we at least need a reason to send him away for good, you know how smart he is even if I told him to go and get a rare star sap herb from the mountains which would take atleast a month to just find it's location, yan'er would just find it within ten days and came back without a scratch on his body" " I don't know if he is smart or lucky but we can't send him away from iron well country because he is just that much attached to this place so just sending him on an errand or fooling him into joining an academy of martial arts won't work" yin zhou after hearing this pondered for a few minutes and Respounded with a surprise" now I remember it is just perfect to send little yan' er there " yan gouzhi asked " did you come up with a plan or something? " yin zhou said immediately after hearing yan gouzhi's question" let's send him to the competition of dragon leaps through the sky" yan gouzhi surprised said " that competition only takes place once every eight years and has several thousand participants but little tian would at most spend a year or two to finish the competition , so I don't understand how exactly does this keep him out of the country, you do know that he will just admit defeat if the competition doesn't end soon and come home" yin zhou again fell in thought and came up with an idea " why dont we just ask him to get first place and if he doesn't get the first place then he will be kicked out of the clan for good " yan gouzhi agreed and said " it is not a long time solution but it will still work" after hearing this conversation he wondered what was happening to his family,his mother had been unwell for a long time but has only shown drastic symptoms of not getting well at all even after eating those herbs when she is pregnant,my father treats me harshly and the once warm city Lord now avoids and gives him the cold shoulder.it is truly impossible for him to imagine what was going on and went to sleep with his scattered thoughts.
