"Yes," Lao Hei said.
"Venerable One, where do you think Xiangyao will hide?" Lao Pan asked.
Yan Aohan shook his head slightly. "I don't know. It doesn't matter where he hides. What matters is that once he comes out, he can only go to the Divine Realm." Yan Aohan spoke calmly. "Check the passages. Seal them absolutely."
"Yes." Lao Pan agreed immediately and hurried off to inspect the passages.
"Zhan Diting, Lao Bai, let's stabilize the situation here first and repair the damage." Looking at the area ravaged by the fierce beasts, Yan Aohan felt a headache coming on.
"This should be the work of the Heavenly Dao. Why are you taking on this role too?" Zhan Diting helped out with a helpless sigh.
"No choice. I owe a favor," Yan Aohan sighed. Fortunately, it was only this once. Otherwise, he didn't know how he would ever repay it. Indeed, in this world, debts of gratitude were the hardest to repay.
While Yan Aohan worked reluctantly to repair the nearly collapsed heaven and earth, Zhu Yanyi was already handling the discharge procedures for Laura.
"Thank you, Little Divine Doctor." Laura was still in her wheelchair, but she could stand and walk every day now. She would need nearly a year of rehabilitation, which didn't require hospitalization. She could recover at home and return to China for check-ups and medication every three months.
"It's what I should do. I also wish you a full recovery soon," Zhu Yanyi said with a gentle smile.
"See you in three months." Laura waved to Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi waved back with a smile, watching her get into a taxi and leave.
If Zhu Xinfu’s case had left the international community with doubts, Laura’s condition proved everything. It showed that Zhu Yanyi’s medical skills were unsurpassed.
"Little Divine Doctor, Zhu Shenfu has arrived at the Zhu family estate in Zhu City," Zhou Feng reported to Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "That’s perfect. I’ll be departing for Zhu City in a couple of days too." She then asked, "By the way, what about the Godfather? I heard she had an incident in France. How is she now?"
"He’s still in France. He’s mostly recovered. It seems he has met with Chen Jiahao and is preparing to deal with the Shangguan family," Zhou Feng said directly.
Zhu Yanyi pondered for a moment, then made two phone calls—one to the Ma family and one to the Wu family. The message was the same: protect the Shangguan family with all your strength, cooperate with them, and counterattack the Chen family. If possible, use this opportunity to scatter the Chen family.
Wu Han and Ma Tianliang received the calls again.
"It seems the Little Master is truly starting to show her power for the first time," Wu Han thought. In the past, Zhu Yanyi faced groups alone. Now, she knew how to use her subordinates.
Ma Tianliang smiled. "This is a good thing. If the Little Master didn’t use us, that would be bad." Since they had sworn allegiance, they naturally hoped for her trust.
Wu Han chuckled. "In that case, let’s get moving. It’s rare for the Little Master to give us a formal order. We can’t mess this up."
"Alright. I’ll have someone contact Shangguan Haohan directly to ensure his stock market operations remain stable," Ma Tianliang said directly.
"Good. You handle the inside, and I’ll help from the outside. This time, we’ll make the Chen family a thing of the past," Wu Han smiled slightly.
"Great. Happy cooperation," Ma Tianliang laughed heartily.
"Happy cooperation," Wu Han also smiled.
While Ma Tianliang and Wu Han cooperated to assist Shangguan Haohan against the Chen family, Zhu Yanyi focused her attention on the Zhu family in Zhu City and Zhu Shenfu.
Of course, Zhu Yanyi wouldn’t just go back blindly. She was going to the Zhu family estate in Zhu City to help them resolve the ailments affecting them.
Currently, although the condition of the Zhu family members in Zhu City was not contagious, each person had red hearts and plum blossoms on their faces, making them afraid to go out.
The Zhu City branch finally received news that the Little Divine Doctor was coming to treat their strange condition.
Before leaving for Zhu City, Zhu Yanyi needed to hand over hospital matters. Most of the remaining patients were on medication, so she instructed Gu Jingtian to help look after the inpatients.
Gu Jingtian had reviewed the cases. Currently, Zhu Yanyi was using conservative treatment for all patients under her care. Only Hua Guangzong needed acupuncture, but knowing the "Thirteen Needles of Reviving the Withered Tree" was sufficient. Therefore, Gu Jingtian had no problems.
After understanding the patients' conditions, Gu Jingtian said to Zhu Yanyi, "Junior Sister, you can go with peace of mind. Nothing will go wrong here."
Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile and said to Gu Jingtian, "I estimate the round trip will take about half a month to resolve everything. Even if it takes longer, it won’t exceed a month."
Zhu Yanyi knew the poison affecting the Zhu family in Zhu City well, as she had administered it herself. She knew how to cure it. This trip was mainly to understand the affairs of the Zhu family and to settle the grudges and kindnesses accumulated over the years with the Zhu City branch.
"Are you taking your three students with you this time?" Zhu Yanyi had already selected three students. Not only Zhu Yanyi, but also Gu Jingtian and Dong Bocao had each chosen three. If Qu Chong hadn’t gone to the Miao region, Zhu Yanyi would have asked her to choose three as well. Later, she decided to suggest they take on students locally when they gathered at the end of the year.
These were students, not disciples, so taking a few was fine. Accepting disciples required caution, but for students, good character and willingness to learn were enough.
Among Zhu Yanyi’s three students, one was Hui Junlan. The other two were named Miao Pu and An Xuebin. Except for Hui Junlan, the other two were male students.
"Of course, I’ll take them. It will serve as their internship assessment," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "Traditional Chinese Medicine relies more on experience, so practical operation is very necessary."
Gu Jingtian nodded slightly. It was good for Zhu Yanyi to take students this way, and the results would likely be good. "Alright, then take them with you."
Zhu Yanyi smiled and said, "I will take the three students and Brother Luo along with the six bodyguards to Zhu City first. My grandfather, grandmother, father, and mother will go with my sister and brother-in-law to the Zhu family estate in Sicheng Town first, and then transfer to the Zhu family estate in Zhu City."
Zhu Yanyi departed four days after speaking with Gu Jingtian. Of course, she didn’t go alone. Since Zhu City had applied for her assistance, the capital dispatched special personnel to escort her, primarily to ensure her safety.
This time, Zhu Yanyi chartered an entire train carriage from the capital. As the Little Divine Doctor, she held a certain status, and her movements were naturally accompanied by many bodyguards. Besides Luo Gang and the other six, there were also many hidden bodyguards, mainly to guarantee Zhu Yanyi’s safety.
