Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi for a long time. She was asking in such a hurry.
"Why did Master Yao want you to find him only after becoming a true healer? Only he knows for sure. But I can guess one reason. He wants your medical skills to improve more. If he were here, you would hide your skills to protect his reputation. You wouldn't show off, even if you were very good. That is why, for these years, you put your achievements under Master Yao’s name or your senior brothers’ names. You are humble. You don’t want people to think you disrespect your teacher. So, you tied your own hands."
Yan Aohan slurped two more mouthfuls of noodles. He continued, "Master Yao understands your thoughts. He knows if he stays with you, you will never step forward. Only when he is not by your side will you show your true skills. I think this is one reason he doesn’t want you to find him now."
She ate two more bites. "As for the Holy Cult, the story is long. I will tell you after we finish eating. It is not something I can explain in one or two sentences. And about what you said last, 'Flower not flower, mist not mist, rats don’t dig holes, monks leave lotus seats,' I am not sure. But I think Master Yao is reminding you of something."
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. She had to admit Yan Aohan made sense. She took a bite of noodles. "You are right. If Grandpa Yao were here, I would let her handle many things. My thought is always: I just want to save people. I want everyone to be happy and healthy. It doesn’t matter whose name is on the credit. This way, no one pays attention to me. No one will notice my skills improving, or even surpassing Grandpa Yao’s."
"In fact, both you and Master Yao know one thing: your current skills have surpassed her." Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi seriously. "I think Master Yao took this step now to let you fully release your abilities."
Zhu Yanyi was slightly stunned. Then, her heart moved. Yan Aohan’s words reminded her. Master Yao did this to make her release her power. Actually, since Master Yao left, she had been slowly releasing herself. Now she understood better. She really needed to let go now.
"I understand." Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Actually, I am already studying medical things constantly."
"I believe even if Master Yao didn’t remind you, you would realize this sooner or later. But now that she reminded you, your steps will be faster, right?" Yan Aohan smiled at Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi made a funny face at Yan Aohan. "Maybe. Hurry up and eat. After eating, you still need to tell me the story of the Holy Cult."
Hearing this, Yan Aohan smiled helplessly. She finished the big bowl of noodles in two or three bites. Then, she actively cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks. When she came out, Zhu Yanyi had already brewed a pot of tea in the living room.
"Red tea is suitable for winter. I brewed red tea. Come and taste it. I can drink red tea too."
