Chapter 2946

Low profile did not mean lacking ability. Old Yuan and Professor Feng understood Yan Xiwan’s meaning and nodded in agreement.

Yan Xiwan truly did not take those four foreigners seriously. So, when they sent another challenge letter, she accepted it calmly.

However, her calmness did not mean the school was calm. Therefore, the principal called Yan Xiwan to her practice chamber.

“Are you confident about this match?” the principal asked.

Yan Xiwan looked at the principal. “Principal, you should ask my master and teacher. I don’t think you will feel assured no matter what I say. It is better if they speak to you.”

Hearing this, the principal understood. Basically, there would be no problem.

Regardless of past, present, or future, respecting teachers and valuing education was everyone’s instinct.

Since Yan Xiwan had brought up her master and teacher, if the principal remained curious, both Old Yuan and Professor Feng would be displeased.

“Do you plan to use Traditional Chinese Medicine against them this time?” the principal asked.

“Depends on the situation,” Yan Xiwan said. “Use appropriate medical skills for different patients. One prescription for one person. Find the right formula to treat the corresponding patient. This is what a healer should do, don’t you agree, Principal?”

The principal was speechless but had to agree that Yan Xiwan was right. He then asked, “Do you need any support?”

Yan Xiwan tilted her head and thought. “Not for now. The only thing is, I hope the principal will notify everyone in the school to have more confidence in me. Also, please stop spreading messy rumors.”

“What messy rumors?” the principal asked.

Yan Xiwan said, “For example, how good foreign countries are, how high their medical skills are, that Traditional Chinese Medicine is untrustworthy, and that the existence of TCM brings shame to our country.”

“Who said these things?” The principal’s face darkened upon hearing Yan Xiwan’s words. Especially when he heard that TCM brought shame to the country, he almost jumped up.

Most professors, lecturers, and key staff at the Capital Medical University knew some medical skills.

The principal himself was skilled in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although not as powerful as Old Yuan, he had made significant achievements in TCM. How could he not be angry to hear someone doubting TCM?

“I don’t know specifically who started it, but many students are saying such things now. You can have someone investigate,” Yan Xiwan suggested.

“I will have someone investigate,” the principal nodded. If he hadn’t known, it would have been fine. But now that he knew, he must investigate.

Seeing Yan Xiwan’s confidence, the principal didn’t say much more. However, still uneasy, he went to find Old Yuan and Professor Feng.

Old Yuan and Professor Feng directly told him to worry less about Yan Xiwan and just manage the school well.

Well, this master-disciple group all had this temperament. The principal felt helpless but also more reassured.

The match was in ten days, so Yan Xiwan was quite relaxed these days.

One day, Yan Xiwan walked to the school gate. She saw a person leaning against a jeep, seemingly waiting for someone.

Yan Xiwan’s eyes lit up, and she ran directly over. “Brother Tianyun.”

Yes, Ouyang Tianyun had returned.

At this moment, Yan Xiwan realized how much she had missed Tianyun.

Ouyang Tianyun hugged Yan Xiwan, who had thrown herself into her arms. After a while, when Yan Xiwan calmed down, she patted her back. “Missed me?”

His words carried a teasing tone, but Yan Xiwan nodded seriously. “Yes, I missed you.”

Ouyang Tianyun was stunned first, then a big smile appeared on his face. The smile seemed a bit silly, but it was impossible to ignore the joy radiating from him. “Good. I missed you too.”

Then Ouyang Tianyun said, “Get in the car. We can’t stay at the school gate forever.”

Yan Xiwan hummed in agreement. Ouyang Tianyun opened the passenger door, let Yan Xiwan in, then got into the driver’s seat. He started the engine and said as the car moved, “I heard your grades have been good recently.”

“Not only have my grades been good, but many things have happened too,” Yan Xiwan recounted recent events.

Besides the challenge from the four foreigners, she also mentioned Tian Chunxiang and Pan Hongmei.

After listening, Ouyang Tianyun pondered slightly. “Tian Chunxiang’s matter is easy to solve. You have the ability. As long as her character is good, marrying her to my brother-in-law, we can protect her a bit. Regarding Pan Hongmei, I think I should meet her when I have time.”

“You know Pan Hongmei?” Yan Xiwan knew what he was thinking from his expression.

Ouyang Tianyun smiled. “I can’t be sure yet. You know I am reincarnated. In my past life, I studied in a certain academy. There were many senior brothers and sisters there. One senior sister was named Hongmei.”

“Does this Senior Sister Hongmei have some story?” Yan Xiwan asked curiously.

Ouyang Tianyun laughed. “Not a particularly special story, but this Senior Sister Hongmei had a lover.

At that time, a demonic battlefield appeared. If demons were not eliminated, they would invade humanity, and humans would suffer. So, the teachers and students of that academy went to kill demons.

Senior Sister Hongmei’s lover died protecting her during a demon-slaying mission.

Later, your Emperor Father and Empress Mother intervened, allowing her lover to go through reincarnation, saying they still had a chance to be together, just needing to wait for a while.”

Ouyang Tianyun explained briefly. “According to what you said, this Pan Hongmei is likely the Senior Sister Hongmei I mentioned. She came here because she received definite news that her lover was reincarnated here, so she came to find her.”

“But Emperor Father and Empress Mother said there would only be two cultivators in this plane, you and me. If there really is a reincarnated lover of Senior Sister Hongmei, wouldn’t he be unable to cultivate? If he can’t cultivate, how can their bond last long?”

Yan Xiwan frowned slightly. There was no way around it; the spiritual energy in this plane was too scarce.

“That is not difficult,” Ouyang Tianyun laughed. “If Pan Hongmei is indeed Senior Sister Hongmei, she should have a way.”

Seeing Yan Xiwan’s curious expression, she explained, “In the cultivation world, there is a life-sharing technique. As long as they are true lovers, Senior Sister Hongmei can share her life with her lover. Then, when we go to the cultivation world, we can take them there to cultivate directly.”

Yan Xiwan suddenly understood after hearing Ouyang Tianyun’s explanation. “I see.”

She paused. “I didn’t expect such a technique to exist in the cultivation world.”

Ouyang Tianyun laughed. “These are minor techniques. When you have time, look at the jade slips and manuals left by your father-in-law and mother-in-law. You will find many minor techniques. They are useless at high cultivation levels, but very good for self-preservation at low levels.”

Yan Xiwan hummed. “Actually, I study them when I have time, but recently my energy has been focused on making medicine.”

Ouyang Tianyun knew that since Yan Xiwan was pursuing the path of medicine, learning to make medicine was inevitable. “When I have time, I will refine some pills for you. You can use them for self-defense.”

Refining pills was one of Ouyang Tianyun’s specialties in his past life.

“Okay.” If it were someone else’s items, Yan Xiwan would not accept them, but she would never refuse Ouyang Tianyun’s.

Seeing Yan Xiwan’s reaction, Ouyang Tianyun smiled satisfactorily and rubbed her head. “It seems you really missed me these days.”

Yan Xiwan hummed. “I missed you originally. No need to add ‘really’ deliberately.”

Ouyang Tianyun smiled satisfactorily. “It seems a short separation is good. It helps deepen our feelings.”

Yan Xiwan pouted, looking at Ouyang Tianyun with a face full of dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Ouyang Tianyun laughed loudly and then said, “Alright, don’t be angry. I was just talking casually. But our work is like that. Short separations will be unavoidable in the future.”

“I know they are unavoidable, but hearing you say it makes it feel different,” Yan Xiwan sighed, then suddenly smiled. “But it’s not bad this way.”

“Not bad?” Ouyang Tianyun glanced at Yan Xiwan sideways.

Yan Xiwan hummed. “Anyway, we are both busy daily. So, occasional short separations give us a legitimate reason to be busy.”

A legitimate reason to work day and night.

She didn’t say this explicitly, but how could Ouyang Tianyun not understand?

Ouyang Tianyun was speechless. “You are finding loopholes.”

“No way,” Yan Xiwan absolutely denied having any loophole-finding intent. “I am so honest. I never find loopholes.”

“Then you let the loopholes come to you actively,” Ouyang Tianyun teased Yan Xiwan.

Yan Xiwan made a funny face, naturally indicating denial.

Ouyang Tianyun added, “I also heard about your match against the foreigners. You accepted their renewed challenge. Are you confident?”

“Others may not know, but don’t you know who my Empress Mother is? The only Medical Emperor. Can I ruin her reputation?” Yan Xiwan said confidently.

“Carefulness ensures a long journey,” Ouyang Tianyun reminded. “I heard these four foreigners sought help from their country. That’s why there is a ten-day appointment. Mainly because the person they sought help from needs about seven or eight more days to arrive.”

Yan Xiwan suddenly understood. “No wonder the time was postponed. They found helpers.”

Ouyang Tianyun hummed. “So, are you confident?”

“Rest assured, I am absolutely confident,” Yan Xiwan said with a smile. Her medical skills would not retreat just because there were more opponents.

“So, these people never understand what a true healer is. A true healer seeks answers to any difficulty, rather than letting others replace them.”

Yan Xiwan could not understand the foreigners’ divine operation.

Ouyang Tianyun smiled slightly. “That is why you need to set things right.”
