In Elder Yun’s practice chamber, it was not just him present. Elder Zhang and Elder Du were there as well. Elder Zhang had never seen such a strange plant. He held a magnifying glass, observing the plant closely. Elder Yun sat on the sofa by the window, holding a teacup. Elder Du sat on the sofa next to him, also drinking tea.
"I say, Old Zhang," Elder Du took a sip of tea, his tone slightly teasing. "You are our country's most famous and authoritative botanist. Don't you know what this thing is?"
Elder Zhang shook her head slightly but did not put down her magnifying glass. "I really don't know. I only hope Ani can recognize it when she comes."
"I'm not trying to criticize you, Old Zhang," Elder Du said. "If you don't know what it is, how would Ani know? If I remember correctly, Ani is your disciple. Since when does a disciple know things the master doesn't?"
Elder Zhang glanced at Elder Du. "What do you know? I identify plants, but Ani identifies not just plants, but also medicines. There are many plants I don't know, but she does. Why? Because there are some medicines I don't understand, but she does. So, bringing her here increases the chances."
"Fine. I don't know what this thing is either. If you bring it to me, I can only watch you study it," Elder Yun laughed.
"When will Ani arrive?" Elder Zhang finally put down the magnifying glass and sat on the sofa nearby. He decided that if he didn't recognize it, there was no point in struggling. It was better to drink some tea and rest.
Elder Yun replied, "Ani’s whereabouts are currently arranged by that Yan boy. So I don't know where she is either. But I know she is with the Yan boy. she said she would send her over soon, so she should be here shortly."
"Ani’s whereabouts are more secret than those of us old men," Elder Zhang sighed. "I don't know what that Yan boy is up to. Although as Ani’s master, I am relieved to see someone protecting her like this, I still feel it is strange. You tell me, letting someone else protect your own disciple makes us masters look quite useless."
"I refuse to admit I am useless," Elder Yun stated directly. "Besides, if you were in charge of Ani’s safety, could you protect her? You are good at studying plants, but forget about protecting Ani. With the Yan boy, her safety is absolutely guaranteed."
"Capital City is in turmoil these days. Even Yan Er was assassinated, and there is still no result regarding that matter," Elder Du sighed.
Elder Yun said directly, "We must crack down severely. These people are too arrogant. If we do not crack down, social order will be compromised."
"I agree with a severe crackdown. The Big Boss has been discussing this issue recently. It is said that higher-ups have discussed it several times. I expect there will be action in the near future," Elder Du took a sip of tea.
"It is time for a crackdown," Elder Zhang sighed. "Old Yao is over seventy years old, yet he is assassinated three or five times on average every month. This frequency is really too high. If this gets out, it will not be good for the reputation of Huaxia."
"Actually, if the Yan boy could step in, this matter would be much simpler," Elder Du said slowly.
Hearing Elder Du’s words, Elder Yun shook his head slightly. "I agree with your point of view, but the Yan boy will not step in."
