The Godfather looked at Elder Yao, seemingly lost in thought. she then turned and said, "Actually, I also hope she comes soon. It is better to clarify things early. The current situation is not good for anyone."
Elder Yao watched the Godfather leave, a faint smile of helplessness touching his lips. Over the years, everyone knew their own conflicts. Now, it seemed his own time of conflict had arrived. He wondered if he could hold on until the girl arrived.
Time passed quickly. The New Year ended, and Zhu Yanyi took her students on a tour outside. Three days before the International Medicine versus Chinese Medicine PK match, she finally returned to the capital.
As soon as Zhu Yanyi got off the plane, she saw Yan Aohan waiting. Seeing her descend, he walked over to take her luggage. He then said to Hun Junlan and the other two, "Let’s go. I will send you three to school with your teacher first, and then we will leave."
"Thank you, Grandfather-in-law," Hun Junlan and the others said in unison.
Zhu Yanyi was very used to Yan Aohan’s thick skin now, so she said nothing.
After sending the three students back to school, Yan Aohan took Zhu Yanyi home. By the time Zhu Yanyi finished showering, Yan Aohan had already served the dishes. "Ani, eat first."
Zhu Yanyi agreed and came over. She sat down, took the bowl of rice Yan Aohan handed her, and started eating. With a happy expression, she said, "It is really hard to find such delicious food when traveling. I am finally back."
Yan Aohan chuckled. "I remember when I came back half a month ago, I made you a lot of roasted rabbit and wild chicken."
"Eating that every day gets boring. Plus, the taste is too simple," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile, completely ignoring her own fussiness. "But this trip was worth it. I found another type of alchemy herb, the Ye Yun Flower, and transplanted it into the Ruyi Space."
Yan Aohan hummed. "They say the international side sent about twenty representatives against you alone. Can you handle it?"
"Did the list arrive?" Zhu Yanyi asked, biting her chopsticks and tilting her head to look at Yan Aohan.
Yan Aohan nodded. "The list is out." He walked to the study and came out with a folder, handing it to Zhu Yanyi. "These are the twenty people."
Zhu Yanyi opened it, looked, and sneered. "Are these people bored? Why is that weasel here?"
"Wang Shulang, the weasel. That sounds smooth. Do you know him?" Yan Aohan asked.
"I took the basic Chinese Medicine qualification exam with her, Luoyang Jun, and others. Luoyang Jun and I passed, but she failed. I remember she mocked me before the exam. Unfortunately, she ended up slapping her own face," Zhu Yanyi said. She hadn’t expected Wang Shulang to be on this list.
"She studied Chinese Medicine before, but according to my sources, she now studies poison medicine," Yan Aohan said, looking at Zhu Yanyi.
"Poison medicine?" Zhu Yanyi’s lips curled in slight mockery. "For any healer, character is most important. Someone like that weasel has bad character. Even if she learns poison medicine, she probably won’t achieve much."
Yan Aohan hummed. "Still, be careful. Among the doctors traveling with him, there is another poison doctor."
"Two poison doctors? What are their specialties?" Zhu Yanyi knew Yan Aohan had investigated thoroughly since she mentioned it.
"This weasel studies plant poisons. The other one, called Cockroach, studies animal poisons," Yan Aohan said.
"Cockroach? That name is interesting too." Zhu Yanyi glanced at the list. "So it is Zhang Lang. A nice name, but she doesn’t seem to have good character."
Zhu Yanyi always believed that birds of a feather flock together. She thought anyone hanging out with that weasel was definitely no good person.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. "Poison medicine has a bad reputation because of people like this. If those who first used poison medicine had good character, it wouldn’t be misunderstood."
Yan Aohan nodded. He knew Zhu Yanyi was very dedicated to medicine and had also studied poison medicine. He knew she was unhappy about the current state of poison medicine.
"Actually, this is a chance for you to not only promote Chinese Medicine again but also correct others’ views on poison medicine. I say, when the poison doctors appear, you should use poison medicine against them. Let’s see who is stronger," Yan Aohan said casually. But Zhu Yanyi’s eyes lit up.
She took the documents, looked at them, and picked up a pen to scribble a few notes. She smiled. "Among these twenty, there are surgeons, internists, gynecologists, pediatricians, and general practitioners. Their skills include Western medicine, poison medicine, Han medicine, and Heavenly medicine. This is perfect. I will simply attack their strengths with their own strengths." Zhu Yanyi’s medical skills were never as simple as they appeared.
If they were that simple, she wouldn’t have become the inheritor of the Azure Sovereign Qingdi.
Hearing this, Yan Aohan wasn’t worried. Zhu Yanyi was a person who calculated things carefully. Since she had decided this, it meant she was confident she could handle these twenty people.
"Do you need an assistant?" Yan Aohan asked.
Zhu Yanyi thought for a moment, then shook her head. "I don’t need a very powerful assistant. That would be too much honor for them. I will just take Junlan and the other three. They should experience this kind of scene and atmosphere."
Yan Aohan said, "Aren’t you afraid they will drag you down?"
"What is there to drag down?" Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "They are my students, raised by me. Besides, don’t many people want to see younger doctors? I want to show everyone that Chinese Medicine is becoming younger. Otherwise, every successful Chinese doctor is fifty or sixty years old. Although serving the public is good at any age, serving for fifty years is better than serving for twenty."
Zhu Yanyi truly wanted to rejuvenate Chinese Medicine. But cultivating young doctors was not easy. She knew experience was crucial for a Chinese doctor. So, she was willing to take the three students to let them learn experience. She didn’t expect them to compete, just to be assistants.
"Aren’t you afraid those people will pull your students into trouble?" Yan Aohan considered this possibility.
Zhu Yanyi was eating a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. After finishing it, she said, "I won’t give them that chance. They are provoking me. Since that is the case, how they provoke me depends on my suggestions. I won’t listen to them from start to finish. Since they came to China, they should at least taste our Chinese hospitality."
