There was no need to consider the rest.
Nan Hua was silent for a while and then asked, "Would Master regret accepting me as a disciple?"
Because she was accepted after Kuang Shen, which meant that the conflict between disciples would be avoidable if Traveling Doctor Liu didn't pull Nan Hua to be his disciple.
At that time, there would be no scruples from Nan Hua to kill Kuang Shen either because she had no one in consideration. Killing a threat from the bud has always been the best method to eliminate all threats.
Why bother let them grow and make trouble?
But because of the consideration for their old master, the two of them maintained the superficial peace.
"Regret?" Shan Yu arched his eyebrows and shook his head. "I think he'll regret accepting Kuang Shen more than accepting you."
Because in his opinion, the death of civilians under Kuang Shen was larger than from Nan Hua's hands. But it was not something that they could truly count. After all, Nan Hua had killed a lot of soldiers and for their family members back home, they also lost their pillars. Their lives would be very different and much more difficult.
Perhaps, some of them would die because of the difficulty.
Or they would suffer more.
But it was the inevitable consequences of this war. What they could do was to minimize the casualties as much as possible when they were fighting. Because the one who suffered the most from war are the civilians, including their own family members.
On the other hand, Kuang Shen didn't have much hesitation even if he had to sacrifice the civilians in order to achieve his goal. His reputation as a ghost doctor was built upon stepping on countless corpses. But this is his way of living.
Shan Yu didn't want to judge others because he himself had his own way of doing things and live. He had no obligation to save other people either. It was also because of this that Shan Yu felt that if Traveling Doctor Liu hadn't saved the weak Kuang Shen back then, the ending of so many people would be very different. But as a doctor, could Traveling Doctor Liu really let Kuang Shen be to die?
That was very unlikely. So even if there was regret, Traveling Doctor Liu accepted it with the peace of mind.
"I see," Nan Hua replied in a low voice. Her hand was moving the wood to maintain the campfire and used the stick to maintain the shape. Shan Yu watched Nan Hua's movement and then chuckled. "You're a general aside from the disciple of Traveling Doctor Liu. Are you going to stop if I said that he's worried?" Nan Hua raised her head and looked at Shan Yu. "No."
Even if she knew that some people might oppose her, but the grudge between her and Kuang Shen had deepened from the moment he tried to harm her little cousin. To involve a young boy in this war, this was not something that Nan Hua could accept. Since Kuang Shen was being ruthless, then she will also be ruthless.
As for whether the others will accept her or not… she will consider later. If Traveling Doctor Liu couldn't accept her action, then she could only withdraw from being his disciple and find a way to compensate Traveling Doctor Liu. He could not regard her as disciple anymore, but she will always treat him as her master.
