Chapter 311 - 311: Big Boss Qin Bought Fairy Tale Books
There was no way around it. With Sun Chan’s threat, even if they were unwilling deep down, they had to temporarily agree. Later, they would discuss with the elders. They absolutely couldn’t hand over the Divine Physician Sect and Hundred Herb Garden to an outsider!
Sun Chan had initially planned to show Nan Yan around here, but these cold-hearted people had ruined his mood. He decided to drop the matter and directly pulled Nan Yan out of the Heaven and Earth Alliance.
Once they were outside the Heaven and Earth Alliance, the two of them, one old and one young, slowly descended from the mountainside.
The frustration that had been building up inside Sun Chan dissipated when he saw Nan Yan’s calm demeanor. He fell silent for a while and finally let out a sigh.
Then he asked, “Nan Yan, how much of your medical skills have you learned from Hua Shifang?”
Nan Yan lowered her gaze and replied calmly, “Around sixty to seventy percent…”
In truth, her master had always told her that her talent was even better than his. With time, she could undoubtedly surpass him.
At that time, her master had wanted her to continue studying medicine with him for three more years. However, for the sake of her parents’ last wish and her deep-seated grudge, she had bid farewell to her master and returned to the bustling society.
She treated Xi Shijin, her parents’ best friend, like family and respected and loved him as if he were her last relative. For him, she didn’t hesitate to accumulate wealth through various means in the black market, even if it meant offending many people.
However…
It wasn’t until her last moments of life that she discovered Xi Shijin, the person she had trusted as family, was the one who had killed her parents…
Fortunately, her fate took a different turn, and she was reborn.
In this life, she not only sought revenge but also aimed to make up for her regrets from her previous life.
Her master had settled in Shennongjia and, because she had insisted on leaving, hurting his feelings, he refused to speak with her over the phone for three years.
She silently resolved to visit Shennongjia to see her master once her third senior brother recovered from his illness.
Sun Chan didn’t know about all the thoughts that had passed through her mind in such a short time. He smiled broadly upon hearing that she had learned sixty to seventy percent of Hua Shifang’s medical skills.
“Sixty to seventy percent is already excellent. He has an extraordinary talent in medicine. Over the past thousand years, there hasn’t been anyone who has reached his level of achievement. You’re still young and have great potential.”
Nan Yan nodded.
She was determined.
After she avenged her parents and herself, she would return to her master’s side and continue learning medical skills from him.
Sun Chan finished his jovial talk and then turned serious. “When it comes to cultivating herbs, you must be diligent and treat each one with care. You can’t neglect any of them, understand?”
“Second Master, I really have no experience with cultivating herbs, not a clue!”
Nan Yan wasn’t being modest about it at all. It wasn’t that she looked down on the job of cultivating herbs; it was just that the techniques for growing medicinal herbs were more complex than nurturing regular plants and crops.
Even cultivating flowers and crops required careful experience and knowledge. Medicinal herbs were at least ten times more challenging.
Sun Chan was hailed as the Medicine King because he could successfully cultivate rare spirit herbs that even experienced herb farmers with decades of experience couldn’t manage. Not only could he cultivate them successfully, but he could also preserve the original medicinal properties of the herbs and even enhance them beyond what they should have had.
Although Nan Yan had excellent medical talents, she lacked confidence in the field of cultivation. After all, she had a track record of unintentionally killing flowers and plants in the past.
“Not having a clue isn’t a problem at all; you can learn! Don’t worry; I’ll teach you everything I’ve learned throughout my life without holding back. You can definitely do it!”
Sun Chan had a lot of confidence in Nan Yan and even had a look of ‘I believe in you’ as he patted her shoulder.
Nan Yan replied with a complex expression, ‘ .
She had no confidence at all!
However, seeing the expectation hidden in Sun Chan’s eyes, she didn’t have the heart to disappoint the old man.
“I’ll do my best…”
“Good, don’t worry. Cultivating medicinal herbs is actually quite easy, not difficult at all! I guarantee that once I teach you, you’ll learn it in no time!” Nan Yan’s expression became somewhat complicated. “Alright, but let’s make it clear. I won’t be staying in the capital city permanently. I have to return to Jin city today, and after they’ve decided on the test questions to assess me, you can inform me in advance, and I’ll come back.”
“You won’t be living in the capital city?” Sun Chan’s voice rose, “So, when I need to find you in the future, do I have to travel to Jin city?”
After a moment of consideration, Nan Yan replied, “In two or three weeks, when I finish the exams and the school goes on summer break, I’ll have more free time. At that time, if you need to find me, I can stay in the capital city for a while.”
She had a premonition that these might be her last few weeks of attending classes obediently in school. She might skip most of her classes during her senior year and might even take a leave of absence. If things didn’t go well, she would at least show up for the college entrance exams, giving her guidance counselor an excuse with a top score…
Sun Chan finally realized, “Look at me, I forgot that you’re still in high school at your age. Although your medical skills are excellent, your education is equally important. Focus on your studies first. You don’t need to rush the sect’s assessment. I’ll ask them to postpone it, and you can take the assessment after you graduate from high school.”
Nan Yan replied, “There’s no need for that…” Delaying it for a year? To be honest, she might not have the patience for that herself.
“Let’s set the time for the assessment during the summer vacation.”
Sun Chan thought for a moment. “Alright, when I get back, I’ll let them know…”
Back in Sun Chan’s courtyard, after Nan Yan had acquired a few rare medicinal herbs, she checked the time and realized it was time to return to Jin city. After bidding farewell to Sun Chan, she headed back to the Qin residence.
The Old Madam Qin, reluctant to see her go, held onto Nan Yan’s hand. “How about this, dear? Why don’t I accompany you back to Jin city?”
“Old Madam, don’t be willful!”
Before Nan Yan could say anything, Nanny Li had already come over to persuade her.” If you leave again, this house will be turned upside down.” “Grandma, I’ll come over to accompany you after my exams,” Nan Yan patted her hand and comforted her.
“Fine, fine,” Old Madam Qin pouted reluctantly, agreeing not to go to Jin city with Nan Yan.
After Nan Yan returned, Qin Lu, having resolved the issues at the company, also returned to the Qin residence. On the way, he spotted a bookstore and asked Wu Yue to stop the car.
“Young Master, shall I park here?” Wu Yue looked puzzled, wondering why their young master suddenly wanted to stop.
Qin Lu replied, “Park by the bookstore. I’m going to buy a couple of books.” Buy books? Wu Yue couldn’t help but recall the large bookshelf in their young master’s office and sighed. There were indeed differences even among the scholarly elite.
“Understood, Young Master!”
The car was parked by the bookstore, and Qin Lu got out, striding into the store and heading straight for the fairy tale section.
He carefully selected two well-known fairy tale books and brought them to the checkout counter.
Wu Yue waited in the car and, after a short while, saw the young master return with two fairy tale books in hand.
Immediately, he was stunned..
