"Look at Linda. She has eyes, but her retina was suppressed and one nerve was cut. It’s easy for me to fix. Why is there such a big fuss? If I cure my grandpa, give her new eyes to see the world, won’t they call me God?"
Zhu Yanyi said this to Yan Aohan. She truly didn’t understand what these people were thinking. To Du Yu, it was nothing. To her, it was just a small matter.
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi and smiled. "It’s fine. Your fame grows bigger every day. Let them promote you."
"Don’t you worry they’ll praise me to death?" Zhu Yanyi pouted, dissatisfied.
Yan Aohan glanced at her and laughed. "You worry about them praising you to death? I worry you’ll crush them with your words."
With Zhu Yanyi’s sharp tongue, she never lost an argument. It was quite possible she would do just that.
Zhu Yanyi patted Yan Aohan. "Are you even from my country? Why are you speaking for them?"
"I am naturally on your side. But I speak the truth. When have I ever been wrong?" Yan Aohan looked at her with a helpless expression.
Zhu Yanyi said, "Do you know the saying 'see through it but don’t say it'? Young Master Yan, it seems your skin is loose lately."
"Am I loose or not? You know best," Yan Aohan said with a roguish look.
Zhu Yanyi was speechless. No matter when, she never won against Yan Aohan.
"Hey, I’m serious. Don’t you worry they’ll raise my expectations too high, then bring some weird patients I can’t cure?" Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, looking at Yan Aohan. Jokes aside, she was curious about his opinion of her.
Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "I never doubt your talent in medicine. When you were five and cured the killing array in my body, I knew it. Even before I had feelings for you, I knew your medical skills were formidable. So I never worry you’ll fail to cure anyone. Even someone like Zhan Diting, I believe you’ll cure him one day."
Zhu Yanyi hadn’t expected such high praise from Yan Aohan. She was a bit disbelieving. "I didn’t think I held such high status in your eyes."
Yan Aohan rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head. "Because you’ve never disappointed me."
Zhu Yanyi nodded, smiling. "Next Monday, I need to go to the Military Medical University first. They notified me to handle the teaching procedures and select materials for my students."
Since she had promised the school, Zhu Yanyi never backed out.
"How many do you plan to take?" Yan Aohan asked.
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment. "At most three. I shouldn’t take too many in the first batch. I plan to take only those with a foundation in Traditional Chinese Medicine. After all, I’m taking the Sage Academy exam at the end of next year. If I take too many, I won’t be able to teach them well."
Yan Aohan understood. Zhu Yanyi already limited the number of patients, let alone students.
"Will you still see outpatients?" Yan Aohan asked.
"Yes. There are only a few numbers each time, so it’s fast. Most outpatient cases aren’t serious. People usually endure minor illnesses. They only come to the hospital if they can’t bear it. Unlike in the future, there are no regular health checks now. Plus, people’s living standards are improving, so they value health more. That’s when patients will really multiply."
"The news that Linda’s eyes are healed will make everyone pay attention to you again. Once the other two foreign patients are cured, you’ll have plenty of trouble," Yan Aohan said directly.
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "It’s fine. The trouble won’t last long. Besides, my requirements are still there. If it gets too much, I’ll have Gu Jun and the others help."
"Gu Jun and the others will return from their travels soon," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "They were interested in the Zhu family’s conditions in Zhu City. But I told them the Zhu family are your enemies, so they won’t interfere."
Although Gu Jun and her group rarely entered the mortal world, they had good feelings for Zhu Yanyi. Since Zhu Yanyi provided for their food and lodging in the secular world, they wouldn’t help her enemies.
"Will they come to our banquet?" Zhu Yanyi asked.
"Yes. I’ve sent them invitations, and they’ve replied," Yan Aohan answered with a smile. This was a major event for the Zhu family and for Zhu Yanyi.
"Grandpa and the others arrive the day after tomorrow morning. I’ll arrange for them to stay in the courtyard house not far from ours. It’s larger, formerly a prince’s mansion."
"If there’s such a large courtyard house, why did you choose to live in the small one?" Zhu Yanyi knew Yan Aohan owned several courtyard houses, but she hadn’t expected a prince’s mansion. That was a true large courtyard, surely with pavilions and towers.
"Peace and quiet," Yan Aohan’s reason was quirky, but Zhu Yanyi had to admit their current courtyard was indeed quiet.
"Also, that place is too big and attracts attention. That was the case back then, so I didn’t go there. But I’ve renovated that courtyard house too. If you want to live there, you can," Yan Aohan said seriously.
"Never mind. I’ll stay in our current courtyard. It’s nice," Zhu Yanyi said. Although small, it was warm. She had already changed the decor in the rooms here and didn’t want to bother changing a new environment.
Yan Aohan didn’t mind. The houses were his anyway. If Zhu Yanyi wanted to go, she could. If not, they would just sit empty, causing no harm.
Zhu Yanyi didn’t care much about her reputation outside. She focused on her current patients.
Zhu Xinfu’s leg had recovered remarkably well. Perhaps because she had hope, she cooperated fully with the treatment. Whatever Zhu Yanyi asked her to do, she did it seriously, without cutting corners.
Seeing this personality, Zhu Yanyi found Zhu Xinfu quite similar to Zhu Shun Yao.
Xie Zhong and the others arrived. Since many people were coming, Zhu Yanyi couldn’t go to pick them up herself. Yan Aohan specifically sent a large bus to pick them up and arranged for them to stay in the large courtyard house.
Zhu Shun Yao waited in that courtyard house first, helping to settle them in.
