It was a pity that although Zhu Yanyi looked only nineteen, she gave off a very steady feeling. One could not read anything from her expression.
Zhu Yanyi watched everything with a smile. To her, the Godfather’s tricks no longer worked. Besides, she was telling the absolute truth.
The Godfather saw her reaction but said nothing. she spoke lightly, “Since that is the case, what do you think, Young Master Yan?”
“What I want is actually very simple.” Yan Aohan looked at the Godfather. “I want one soul from this world.”
Since it was a trade, there had to be a price. Yan Aohan looked at the Godfather, his eyes serious.
“A soul? What do you mean? You can’t joke about this.” The Godfather thought Yan Aohan was joking. Who could capture an ethereal soul? Using that as a trade was just looking for trouble.
Seeing the Godfather’s expression, Yan Aohan knew what he meant. He smiled faintly. “Just because you lack the ability doesn’t mean I do.”
The Godfather was slightly stunned. Then he said, “If you really want a soul as the trade, I have no objection.”
Yan Aohan nodded slightly. “But I must make one thing clear. Once the trade is successful, you will go to the Evil Buddha’s world. You will never return to this plane in this life. Whether it is good or bad, you must spend your life there. If you can accept this, I will send you there tomorrow after all matters are settled. Of course, I will also take one of your souls as the price.”
The Godfather looked at Yan Aohan. He knew these words were true. “Are you serious? Can you really take souls as payment?”
“There are countless planes in the world, as you know. There are also countless methods. Taking your soul is very simple for me.” Yan Aohan spoke calmly. “Do not doubt it, because I am Yan Aohan.” Yan Aohan always kept his word.
“If you take the soul, are you not afraid of creating karma?” the Godfather asked.
Yan Aohan laughed loudly. “Godfather, you do not need to test me. I will not tell you everything. The only thing I can say is that even if there is karma in this world, I will not incur it by taking souls.”
As the Venerable Yanluo, taking souls was one of his abilities. How could he be tainted by karma?
Seeing Yan Aohan’s attitude, the Godfather bowed his head seriously to think. Since Yan Aohan said so, everything must be true. If it was true, taking his soul as payment was also true. He had to think carefully. He could not make a decision lightly.
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan looked at each other but said nothing. Zhu Yanyi ladled another bowl of soup for Yan Aohan. “Drink more. This soup is delicious.”
“Everything you make is delicious. I like it all.” Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi, his eyes full of tenderness.
Zhu Yanyi made a funny face. The silent atmosphere in the cave did not affect them at all.
Old Man Yao looked at Zhu Yanyi, then at Yan Aohan. He realized he was truly old. He could not see through Zhu Yanyi, nor could he see through Yan Aohan. He understood some of what they said, but not all.
“Ani, what level is your medical skill now?” Old Man Yao asked.
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. “I am not sure. But at least, there is no doctor on this planet who can compare with me.” She spoke calmly. “However, medicine has no limits. I plan to study at the Sage Academy after opening the Traditional Chinese Medicine School.”
“You passed the Sage Academy exam?” Old Man Yao was stunned. He had heard this news for the first time.
Old Man Yao knew about the Sage Academy. He had participated in the exam when he was young, but he did not qualify.
“I passed. I can enroll anytime. But I think studying there will take more than a year or two. So I want to establish the TCM School here first. When Grandpa Yao returns, you can serve as the first principal.” Zhu Yanyi smiled, as if she had already made arrangements.
Old Man Yao paused. She looked at Zhu Yanyi and said slowly, “So you have planned everything and are just waiting for me to take the bait.”
“You shouldn’t say that. Originally, I planned for Senior Brother to serve as principal. But he said his status would make people focus on cultivating his own followers. So he cannot do it. I had to do it. Now that Grandpa Yao is here, you can be the principal. That is much better. I can relax too.”
Zhu Yanyi did not like being a principal. Most importantly, once she went to the Sage Academy, she would have no time to manage the school. So she could not be the principal.
Silver Fox said from the side, “But Little Divine Doctor, your medical skills are recognized worldwide. If you are the principal, no one will object. But Old Man Yao is considered retired. If he comes out again, there will be discordant voices.”
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Silver Fox. “Silver Fox, you are overthinking. Grandpa Yao taught me, which means his medical skills are absolutely top-tier. He is definitely qualified to be principal.”
“But Little Divine Doctor, you must know you are the living signboard of the TCM School. If you are not the principal, why would others come to study?” Silver Fox pointed out the problem directly.
Zhu Yanyi was slightly stunned. She had not thought of this. Hearing Silver Fox, she frowned slightly. It seemed she had indeed missed this point.
“Actually, this is easy to solve.” Yan Aohan laughed. “Ani, you can be the honorary principal, and Old Man Yao can be the principal. That way, both sides are satisfied.”
“Fine. I will just be the honorary principal. Besides, I am funding the TCM School. A little promotion will be enough.” Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
Yan Aohan laughed at her words and nodded. “You are right. That is indeed enough.”
After hearing Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, Old Man Yao thought for a moment. “In that case, I will be the principal. I am old anyway. It is good to contribute my remaining heat.”
