Chapter 2941: Another Cultivator

"This is indeed true. I have heard of it too," Hu Ya said.

Pei Wushuang replied, "Regardless, I believe that as women, it is more important to treat ourselves well. Only by caring for ourselves can we live our lives comfortably."

Yan Xiwan agreed with Pei Wushuang’s point of view.

This day was special for the entire female dormitory of Room 207. It was the day they gathered together, marking the beginning of their friendship.

"Number Four, I heard there is a freshman mixer in two days. Are you going to attend?" Hu Ya asked.

"No," Yan Xiwan said. "I don't have time. I need to research a type of medicine with my teacher these days."

"You are working too hard," Pan Hongmei said.

Yan Xiwan smiled. "How can I feel tired when I am doing what I love?"

Pan Hongmei was stunned. It seemed true. She felt she saw the shadow of someone in Yan Xiwan—someone who was equally obsessed with medical arts.

Yan Xiwan grinned. "You guys go ahead. I won't be there. You can have fun with my share too."

"To be honest, Number Four, I get dizzy just looking at nursing textbooks. You study both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine. Aren't you tired?" Hu Ya asked curiously.

"Yes, yes," Pei Wushuang added. "Same here. The other day, I almost fell asleep listening to nursing theory lectures. That was just the surface knowledge of medicine."

"Because it is just the surface, you find it boring," Yan Xiwan said seriously. "I have loved medicine since childhood. I learned Traditional Chinese Medicine from my master. Now that I have entered medical university, I cannot waste this opportunity to learn Western Medicine from my teachers. I plan to complete the undergraduate credits for both subjects next year and then apply for a combined master's and doctoral program."

"I think I’m going to faint," Pei Wushuang said, flopping onto her bed as if she had died. "Meeting such a 'perfect child' makes me worry my parents will nag me for not being smart enough."

Yan Xiwan laughed. "What are you saying? You are quite good too. Look, you have good combat skills. I heard some upperclassmen provoked you yesterday, and you taught them a lesson, right?"

"You already know about that?" Pei Wushuang sat up quickly. "It’s really not my fault. That man was already married, yet he tried to flirt with me. Does he think I am some naive little girl who hasn’t seen the world? Teaching him a lesson was inevitable."

"He was married?" Pan Hongmei asked. "How did you know that?"

"This man is named Li Shu. His father is Li Baozi, whose rank is one level below my father’s. Our families know each other. Five years ago, he went to the countryside as an educated youth. To avoid suffering, he married a local girl and had a daughter. When the college entrance examination was restored, he took it. Whether he took it or not didn’t matter to me. But he was admitted, and he immediately divorced his wife and returned, abandoning his wife and daughter. Would I give him a good face? He was unaware of his own faults. After returning, he strutted around me every day, acting as if he were the only man in the world. He didn’t realize that his constant pestering annoyed me, so I asked my parents to investigate him. The truth came out."

After Pei Wushuang finished speaking, the other three girls in the dormitory looked displeased.

"He is simply a scumbag," Hu Ya said softly.

"Isn't he? I can’t understand how he has the nerve to think that pestering me would make me fall for him," Pei Wushuang said with disdain.

"So you beat him up yesterday," Yan Xiwan said.

"Yes," Pei Wushuang nodded. "It was necessary to beat him."

Pan Hongmei asked, "How can such a person still attend university? Isn’t there a review process for university students?"

"Identity review is certainly required. But didn’t you hear Wushuang? This scumbag’s father is also a military officer. Because of this factor, he was naturally able to attend university," Yan Xiwan said calmly.

"Actually, thinking about it, there are many such scumbags. Many people abandon their wives and children for their so-called future," Hu Ya said.

"There are not only scumbags but also scum women. I remember a family next door to mine. I used to call her sister when I was young. She was also an educated youth who went to the countryside and married there. It is said she had two children. But when the college entrance examination was restored, she took it and was admitted to a normal university. Then she packed her things and returned to the capital. I heard that when they married, they did not register, only held a banquet. So when she returned, her original husband could say nothing."

"This is a flaw in the law," Yan Xiwan said. "In our laws, there is a concept of de facto marriage. Your neighbor clearly violated this. If her husband, along with the children and villagers, testified and filed a lawsuit, your neighbor would definitely face severe consequences."

"There is such a thing as de facto marriage?" Hu Ya repeated softly. "Even though such a regulation exists, how many people know about it?"

"Yes," Yan Xiwan sighed. "This is a drawback of this era. Many people are legally illiterate."

"Let’s not talk about this. What we medical students can do is minimize people’s pain and illness," Pan Hongmei said.

"No, you are wrong," Yan Xiwan looked at Pan Hongmei. "Public ignorance and legal illiteracy are also a kind of disease. You should understand this."

Pan Hongmei was stunned. She looked at Yan Xiwan and nodded after a long pause. "I do understand this point. So, what do you plan to do?"

"I need to think about it carefully," Yan Xiwan did not answer Pan Hongmei immediately. She decided to think it over, as this matter required a proper plan.

At this moment, Yan Xiwan realized that a true healer must not only treat external illnesses but also address illnesses in life. If people do not understand the law, they must be taught. However, Yan Xiwan was not a legal professional, so directly teaching law seemed impossible. But she could try other methods.

Moreover, her main reason for speaking this way today was to test Pan Hongmei.

Pan Hongmei likely never expected Yan Xiwan to be a cultivator. So after dinner, the two chatted casually and went for a walk on the playground.

Pan Hongmei looked at Yan Xiwan and asked, "Number Four, are you also a cultivator?"

Hearing the word "also," Yan Xiwan smiled. "Actually, I should be asking you, Number One. Where did you come from as a cultivator?"

"Why do you think I came from outside?" Pan Hongmei asked.

"Although you are a cultivator, your cultivation is sealed. This means your current ability is that of a mortal. You have no cultivator’s powers," Yan Xiwan looked at Pan Hongmei. "Because you did not cultivate in this plane, the Heavenly Dao of this plane rejects you."

Pan Hongmei did not expect Yan Xiwan to know so much. She thought for a moment and then said slowly, "That is correct. I am not originally from this plane. I sealed my cultivation and reincarnated here to find my reincarnated lover."

"Since you reincarnated into this plane, you should be considered a person of this plane. Why can’t you cultivate?" Yan Xiwan asked curiously.

"It’s not that I can’t cultivate. It means my cultivation cannot be used externally. At most, I can only maintain my health," Pan Hongmei said softly.

Then Pan Hongmei looked at Yan Xiwan. "Number Four, how are you a cultivator?"

"I have always been a cultivator," Yan Xiwan said calmly. "I am one of the only two cultivators in this plane."

"There is another one besides you?" Pan Hongmei’s eyes showed surprise. But thinking about it, since there was still faint spiritual energy in this plane, having one or two cultivators was understandable.

"Yes, my fiancé is the other cultivator," Yan Xiwan looked at Pan Hongmei. "Number One, I did not sense any malice from you, so I told you the truth. Otherwise, I might have had to eliminate you."

Plane balance is very important, a point Pan Hongmei also understood.

Pan Hongmei said to Yan Xiwan, "Rest assured, I will not do anything harmful to this plane. The main reason I am here is to find my lover from my past life."

"Your lover? He reincarnated into this plane. Why did he come here? For training?" Yan Xiwan asked curiously.

"In my past life, my lover was killed by some evil demons while protecting me. Later, with the help of the Venerable Yanluo, he reincarnated here. I wanted to renew our bond, so I sealed myself and came here," Pan Hongmei said.

"Venerable Yanluo?" Yan Xiwan was speechless. She did not expect her father’s influence to be here too.

"Yes, the Venerable Yanluo," Pan Hongmei nodded slightly.

"Alright, as long as you have no malice toward this plane," Yan Xiwan nodded slightly.

However, Yan Xiwan was also somewhat surprised. Was this plane becoming a sieve? Now, not only were there reborn individuals and time-travelers, but also a reincarnated cultivator.

But Yan Xiwan could only keep this thought to herself. Her only idea was to tell Ouyang Tianyun when she saw her and listen to her advice.

At least, Yan Xiwan felt good about Tian Chunxiang and Pan Hongmei currently. It seemed there were many sensible people.

The campus mixer involved not only the Capital Medical University but also other schools.

Yan Xiwan was busy in the laboratory. Professor Feng saw her busy state and said, "The school mixer is happening. Why don’t you go watch their performances?"

"I don’t have time," Yan Xiwan said. "Rather than watching others perform, I prefer to stay in the laboratory."

Professor Feng looked at Yan Xiwan with some helplessness. "You are so young, don’t live like an old lady. I am giving you a day off today. Hurry up and go watch the performances."
