Zhu Yanyi paused, then said, "So, with this Flower Doctor Token, I can command the flower doctors. If I establish a Traditional Chinese Medicine school, I can have them teach students without limiting the number of teachers."
"Smart Ani," Yan Aohan nodded with a smile, confirming Zhu Yanyi was correct.
Hearing Yan Aohan’s praise, Zhu Yanyi didn’t feel proud. She just smiled and said, "I didn’t expect the Flower Doctor Token to be so useful. I won’t return it to the Flower Doctor Clan for now. Once my school is built and the flower doctors come out to help the world, I will return it to them."
Yan Aohan raised an eyebrow slightly. He knew Zhu Yanyi understood the token’s importance. He planned to return it because of the Flower Doctor Clan’s heritage. He wasn’t giving it back for free; it was about cause and effect. The Flower Doctor Clan entering the world to practice medicine would solve the current shortage of skilled traditional doctors.
So, Yan Aohan didn’t oppose her plan at all. "Alright, it’s about time. Get ready. We need to go back. We are the hosts today, seeing off Zhu Leiyao and others. It wouldn’t be good to be late."
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. She tidied up the items in front of her, took off her white coat, and went back with Yan Aohan.
The farewell banquet for Zhu Leiyao and others was still held at the Capital Club, but this time in a private room. The club had resumed business outside, and since they were in a seventh-floor private room, no one would disturb them.
Zhu Xinfu and Huang Meiying appeared again. Although Zhu Xinfu still couldn’t speak, Zhu Leiyao and Zhu Chanyao now knew this was the real Zhu Xinfu, Zhu Shunyao’s father, formerly known as Zhu Shenfu.
After everyone sat down, Zhu Leiyao spoke first. "Third Uncle, once you are healed and recovered, come to Sicheng Town to visit with Third Aunt. I will be waiting for you there."
Zhu Xinfu nodded and clinked his water cup with Zhu Leiyao’s.
Zhu Leiyao then turned to Zhu Yanyi. "Little Divine Doctor, can Third Uncle’s injuries be fully healed?" Zhu Leiyao had never heard that Zhu Yanyi could restore Zhu Xinfu’s eyes and tongue through special means, but she trusted her ability.
Zhu Yanyi smiled and nodded. "Don’t worry, Uncle Leiyao. I will perform surgery on Grandpa in a few days. After he recovers and rests for a while, he will be able to speak and see again. However, since he hasn’t spoken for over forty years, he will need to practice speaking for a while. So, he can only return home at least two months from now."
"As long as he can recover, the time doesn’t matter. I won’t be leaving Sicheng Town anyway," Zhu Leiyao said. He then turned to Zhu Chanyao. "Chanyao, you are an outsider in the Capital. Remember to take care of yourself."
"I will," Zhu Chanyao replied. He had already moved into a rented apartment. It was clean and bright, clearly new. Zhu Chanyao knew this was provided by Zhu Shunyao’s son-in-law. He was even more determined to follow Zhu Shunyao. Having such a house in the Capital, and being able to provide it so easily, meant Zhu Shunyao was no ordinary person.
Moreover, when Zhu Yanyi introduced Yan Aohan’s name earlier, she had noticed some people looking fearful. She knew Zhu Shunyao’s second son-in-law was also not simple.
"Uncle Leiyao, please take care of my grandparents on the way back tomorrow," Zhu Yanli said.
Tomorrow, not only Zhu Leiyao, but also Xie Zhong, Qi Qiaoer, the Hu family, and Aunt Qiao would return. The Cheng family had a home in the Capital and would stay for two more days before leaving.
"Don’t worry," Zhu Leiyao promised immediately. "I guarantee I will escort Uncle Xie Zhong and the others all the way home."
"Thank you so much, Uncle Leiyao," Zhu Yanli thanked him sincerely.
"No need to thank me. It’s what I should do," Zhu Leiyao said. He saw far ahead. With Zhu Shunyao’s family, the Zhu family in Sicheng Town would surely rise.
After the meal, Zhu Yanyi had Aunt Qiao and the others sent off first. Zhu Leiyao stayed behind, as Zhu Yanyi said she had a few more words.
Then, Zhu Yanyi said to Zhu Leiyao, "Uncle Leiyao, I want to tell you that Zhu Xiangyao has joined the Holy Cult and changed her name to Chonglou. From now on, Zhu Xiangyao no longer exists in this world."
Hearing this, Zhu Leiyao understood Zhu Yanyi’s meaning. Since she had become Chonglou, Zhu Xiangyao was gone, and thus, she should not exist in the Zhu family genealogy.
"Little Divine Doctor, are you sure Zhu Xiangyao has joined the Holy Cult and changed his name?" Although called the Holy Cult, everyone knew it was no good place. Those who joined were clearly not good people.
"Yes," Zhu Yanyi gave a definite answer.
Although Zhu Leiyao had never seen members of the Holy Cult, he had heard rumors about them. Hearing that Zhu Xiangyao had joined them made him feel frustrated and disappointed. "Little Divine Doctor, don’t worry. Since he abandoned his ancestors and changed his name, our Zhu family doesn’t necessarily need this descendant."
It was easy to talk to smart people. Zhu Yanyi knew Zhu Leiyao’s words meant Zhu Xiangyao would be removed from the Zhu family.
Zhu Yanyi nodded satisfactorily. "Have people from the Zhu family in Zhu City caused trouble for you?"
"Not yet. You know my personality; I don’t like being led by the nose. Also, I heard the Zhu family in Zhu City is currently hiding, so no one will come for now," Zhu Leiyao said.
Zhu Yanyi hummed. "If people from the Zhu City Zhu family come again, you can handle them superficially. I will deal with the rest. Once my grandfather’s injuries heal, I will definitely visit the Zhu family in Zhu City."
Although she didn’t know why they had targeted Zhu Xinfu back then, since they did it, they should expect retaliation.
"The Zhu City Zhu family is not far from our Sicheng Town. Remember to come back and visit when you go," Zhu Leiyao said.
"Of course I will return. That is our hometown. Even though our household registration is now in the Capital, we will never forget our ancestral home. Don’t worry," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Even if a Zhu family branch appears in the Capital, it will still be a branch of the Sicheng Town Zhu family. Our ancestral home remains in Sicheng Town."
Hearing this, Zhu Leiyao’s eyes lit up. "Little Divine Doctor, do you mean you plan to establish a branch in the Capital?"
Zhu Yanyi nodded. "I have thought about it. The descendants of the Sicheng Town Zhu family must come from Sicheng Town. No matter where Zhu family members go, as long as the ancestral home remains, there will always be a way home. But that doesn’t stop us from venturing out."
Zhu Yanyi organized her thoughts and continued, "Not only are we creating the Capital Zhu family now, but if someone goes to Shanghai in the future, they can create the Shanghai Zhu family. If someone goes to Nanjing, they can create the Nanjing Zhu family. But the ancestral home will always be in Sicheng Town."
