Ouyang Manqing froze in surprise. Xie Yijun, standing nearby, looked equally astonished. "Master Yao is your teacher?"
Zhu Yanyi nodded, looking at them as if they were making a huge fuss over nothing. "So what if Master Yao is my teacher? Why are you so shocked?"
"That is Master Yao! The Divine Doctor! It is said all her disciples are famous doctors, each with their own strengths. I wonder who her actual disciples are?" Ouyang Manqing sighed. She never expected Zhu Yanyi to be Master Yao’s student.
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head. "Is it really that magical? My master and senior brothers seem ordinary to me. They just have two eyes, one nose, and one mouth. They don’t have extra parts."
"You don’t understand," Ouyang Manqing said, giving Zhu Yanyi a sharp look. "Master Yao is a Divine Doctor."
"Yes, yes, I don’t understand," Zhu Yanyi said with a grin. "But I know her. I am close to her. So I really don’t get why you are so excited."
Ouyang Manqing was speechless. Xie Yijun tried hard not to laugh. He never thought his sharp-tongued wife would be left without words. Ouyang Manqing saw his expression and glared at him, clearly warning him not to laugh. Xie Yijun coughed lightly. "Ani, why didn’t you tell me your teacher is Master Yao?"
"It’s not a big deal. Besides, didn’t I tell you last time I was going to the capital to see my master? You knew that."
Xie Yijun sighed. "I knew your master was in the capital, but I didn’t know he was Master Yao."
"Does it matter if she is Master Yao?" Zhu Yanyi truly didn’t understand their thinking. To her, a master was just a master. Status didn’t matter. Of course, she knew Master Yao’s status was high, but it wasn’t this exaggerated.
"You don’t understand. To people like us, Master Yao is like a god. His status is unreachable. It seems he can cure any illness, which is why he is called the Divine Doctor. We spend so much time fighting outside. We want healthy bodies. We hope to know a good doctor. Master Yao is the only Divine Doctor in our country. To us, he is out of reach."
"Oh, I see now." Zhu Yanyi understood. She had lived with Master Yao for a while, so she never thought about this. Now she could understand their feelings. "If you want to ask my master for medical help, that is fine. I can introduce you later."
"No need. We have you, Ani," Ouyang Manqing said happily. With Ani as their ace, they didn’t need to worry about health issues anymore.
Zhu Yanyi shrugged. "Okay. I can treat common illnesses anyway."
She wouldn’t tell them her medical skills were actually higher than Master Yao’s now. It was better to keep a low profile. To Ouyang Manqing and Xie Yijun, since Zhu Yanyi was Master Yao’s disciple, she must have real skills. If she couldn’t treat something, she would naturally recommend them to see Master Yao.
