Chapter 1754

"Since that is the case, let us take a good look around this park. I want to see which elements can be preserved," Zhu Yanyi said, pulling Yan Aohan along. "A Traditional Chinese Medicine school does not need to be as rigid as other medical institutions. I plan to blend ancient styles with modern needs. When building here, I intend to integrate the surrounding ancient architectural features, so I wish to keep some of the beautiful scenery."

"Of course. The land is quite large, so you can plan it as you see fit," Yan Aohan said with a smile. He walked slowly beside Zhu Yanyi, observing the landscape with her.

Although the facilities were somewhat outdated, the scenery was truly lovely. A stream of living water flowed through the area. Zhu Yanyi looked at the stream with delight. "I like this layout. I plan to keep these streams and the surrounding plants."

"Mm." Yan Aohan watched Zhu Yanyi’s energetic plans with a smile. "No problem. Although this park is not huge, it occupies nearly twenty mu of land. You can take your time planning."

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. To plan properly, she needed to understand the place thoroughly. "From now on, after dinner every day, we will walk around here. I must understand this place inside out."

"Agreed." Yan Aohan agreed without hesitation.

Moreover, days spent out with his wife were rare. Thinking that he would have to return to the Underworld in a year, Yan Aohan felt a nameless dissatisfaction in his heart.

Zhu Yanyi naturally sensed the change in Yan Aohan’s mood. She held his hand tightly. "Aohan, our hands will always be held like this. You have me by your side, and I have you by mine. This has nothing to do with distance. So, you need not worry about temporary separation. The ancients said, 'If love between both sides can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day?' Although I dislike separation, if it leads to a longer reunion and companionship later, I can accept it."

Hearing Zhu Yanyi’s words, Yan Aohan looked deeply at her. Deep affection overflowed from his eyes. He pulled Zhu Yanyi into his embrace, letting her listen to his heartbeat. "Ani, I know. I understand the logic. I just cannot bear to part. I know I can stay with you for more than a year here, but I still feel reluctant. What should I do?"

Zhu Yanyi laughed and wrapped her arms around her waist. "You are worried about separation a year from now? What if we part later? Besides, I believe I will break through soon. My state of mind has broken through several times recently. If you had not sealed my ability to break through my cultivation, I might have brought disaster to this plane. So rest assured, I will handle everything here as soon as possible and go to the Sage Academy early. Of course, the best way is for you to secure the land quickly so I can plan and have the work completed sooner."

Yan Aohan held her tightly, silent for a moment as if considering the importance of her words. After a while, he spoke slowly. "You are right. Since that is the case, I might as well have the land secured for you early, have it designed, and build the school quickly. Then you can go to the Sage Academy early. To be honest, I am only worried that you will be bullied when I am not by your side."

"Who dares to bully me?" Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. She did not say that she had already reached the Near-Dan stage. It would not take long to enter the Hua-Xu stage once she reached the Sage Academy. So, she need not worry for her.

"Mm." Yan Aohan nodded. "I will have the land approved in the next two days. You should also observe this place more. Later, I will have professionals design the blueprints for the school. In the meantime, let us go to the Tibetan region."

"Good." Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. Some matters indeed needed to be resolved.

Although Old Master Yao had given her ten years, Zhu Yanyi did not believe it would take that long. It was better to face things early when the time came.

Since Zhu Yanyi had chosen this piece of land, Yan Aohan naturally went to handle it. No one knew how Yan Aohan operated, but three days later, the land use certificate was already in Zhu Yanyi’s hands.

During these few days, Zhu Yanyi treated Pan Fang every day. She planned to cure Pan Fang before going to the Tibetan region.

While treating Pan Fang, Zhu Yanyi also discussed the renovation of the free park into a school with others.

Naturally, this person was a professional found by Yan Aohan.

"My requirement is that the stream on this side of the park must not be moved or filled in. Also, the areas marked on this blueprint must be preserved," Zhu Yanyi said. The photos of the park’s blueprint had been obtained by Yan Aohan.

Since Yan Aohan’s capabilities were evident, Zhu Yanyi did not doubt his ability. She happily accepted these blueprints.

The professional was named Yan Zhong. He was reportedly the person in the Yan family responsible for building and decorating houses. He was a very capable person. If the blueprint design was satisfactory, he would also be responsible for supervising the construction.

After reviewing Zhu Yanyi’s requirements, Yan Zhong said, "Little Divine Doctor wishes to preserve much of the scenery here."

"Yes. Basically, the areas to be demolished are those that cannot be repaired, or places with slopes and embankments, which will become buildings," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "The concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine itself is traditional. Therefore, the construction concept for this school is also traditional. I hope to integrate the traditional classical style of Huaxia, primarily blending with the surrounding courtyard houses, so that it does not feel abrupt."

Yan Zhong pondered slightly. "Does Little Divine Doctor mind if I borrow space from the sky or the earth?"

"Do you mean building pavilions or underground palaces?" Zhu Yanyi asked upon hearing Yan Zhong’s words.

"Yes. I thought that since there are pavilions and towers in the water towns of Jiangnan, I might use this method. Of course, I might also use basements, as underground palaces and secret rooms are good ideas," Yan Zhong said seriously.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "I do not mind these. First, design the blueprints according to my concept. I will decide after reviewing them."

"Very well. I will leave now. I will think it over carefully and should have the design blueprints ready within a month," Yan Zhong said seriously.

"I look forward to your blueprints." Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile.

After Yan Zhong took her leave, Zhu Yanyi said to Yan Aohan, "Your Yan family truly has many talents."

"What do you mean 'your Yan family'? You should say 'our Yan family'," Yan Aohan said, pouring a glass of fresh juice and handing it to Zhu Yanyi. "Am I not a member of the Yan family?"
