The car drove all the way to the foot of the mountain, and in accordance with the rules of their sect, Nan Yan and Sun Chan got out of the car and switched to walking up the halfway point of the mountain.

As if they had anticipated their arrival, the gate of the sect was unexpectedly open.

One of the junior disciples at the entrance saw Sun Chan and Nan Yan, called out “Elder Sun,” and then said, “Master and the others are waiting for you inside.”

Sun Chan’s face darkened, but he wasn’t one to vent his anger on others. He responded with a faint acknowledgment and called for Nan Yan, heading directly to the same hall they had visited the last time.

In the hall, Ji Yunmiao was dressed in a white dress that resembled a fairy, giving her an otherworldly appearance.

The others seemed to have a very friendly attitude towards her, even inviting her to sit in the main seat.

It appeared that these people had all acknowledged Ji Yunmiao’s skills.

Ji Yunmiao felt quite pleased with herself.

She knew she wouldn’t be inferior to Nan Yan!

In the past few days, Feng Zhengzhi had found patients with difficult and complex diseases for her to diagnose and treated her medical skills.

Of course, she didn’t disappoint them and successfully cured all those patients.

Even the experienced old Chinese medicine doctors in the Divine Physician Sect found her impressive. She effortlessly handled challenging cases that had stumped even the experienced physicians, earning their admiration and praise.

These compliments left her somewhat lost and even gave her the illusion that even Divine Physician Hua wouldn’t be able to surpass her in front of her. After all, Divine Physician Hua was already old, and as people age, it affects some of their sensory and judgment abilities.

Although experience was important, it wasn’t the only thing that mattered in the field of medicine. Even slight differences in skill could have serious consequences.

Otherwise, why would he disappear and withdraw from the field of traditional Chinese medicine?

In Ji Yunmiao’s heart, it was already certain that Divine Physician Hua left the medical world because his abilities were lacking and found a remote and quiet place to live in seclusion. He then took Nan Yan as his disciple, hoping to pass on his legacy.

She hadn’t truly faced off against Nan Yan yet, but she was self-assured, believing that an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl couldn’t possibly match her medical skills.

After all, she had been learning traditional Chinese medicine from her grandfather and father since she was a child and had been practicing medicine for several years. Whether it was experience or ability, she was much stronger than Nan Yan, a young girl.

Ji Yunmiao had a self-satisfied smile in her eyes and casually glanced in the direction of the entrance, as if it were unintentional.

Footsteps approached, and everyone in the room turned to look at the entrance.

Sun Chan entered first with a stern expression, and Nan Yan followed him, half a step behind, by his side.

“Junior Brother Sun, you’ve arrived.”

Feng Zhengzhi, taking advantage of his senior status, reclined with his legs crossed, looking down at him.

The relationships within the Heaven and Earth Alliance were quite complex.

In terms of seniority, only Divine Physician Hua was Sun Chan’s senior.

But Feng Zhengzhi was a disciple of other senior brothers in the sect, and he was older than Sun Chan, so he became his senior.

Many of the other elders were also nominally his senior brothers, and since Sun Chan was younger due to his age, among this group of peers, they were all referred to as senior brothers.

Sun Chan didn’t really care about this. The only one he truly recognized as his senior brother was Divine Physician Hua. As for the others, it was just a casual title.

However, today, hearing the address “Junior Brother Sun” and seeing Feng Zhengzhi’s smug face, he felt inexplicably annoyed.

Sun Chan’s face grew even darker, and he said in a deep voice, “I’ve come here to demand an explanation from you.”

Even though he and Nan Yan had decided to use a medical skills competition to reclaim the Divine Physician Sect, Feng Zhengzhi and the others’ actions were unethical.

Because the Divine Physician Sect was solely created by Divine Physician Hua and had no connection to them whatsoever. They could use any excuse they wanted to lay claim to it, except for the fact that they found a successor and wanted to compete with Nan Yan for the inheritance rights!

Did they really think that he and Divine Physician Hua’s disciple would allow themselves to be bullied like this?

Even if Nan Yan was confident in her medical skills and believed she could win the competition, their selfish behavior had already been revealed, making him disgusted with them!

When Nan Yan entered the room, she didn’t pay any attention to the group of self-important individuals but instead looked towards Ji Yunmiao, who was sitting in the room, looking proud and satisfied.

Ji Yunmiao noticed Nan Yan’s gaze and provocatively tugged at the corner of her lips.

Nan Yan responded with a cold scoff.

They had thought they had found some remarkable traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Turns out, it was her…

Feng Zhengzhi continued his conversation with Sun Chan:

“Junior Brother Sun, don’t be angry. We all want the Divine Physician Sect to thrive. While it’s true that the sect was founded by Senior Brother Hua, no one knows the true abilities of his disciple. How can we trust her with such a significant responsibility?”

“And recently, we’ve recognized a junior in the sect who has excellent medical skills, gained the approval of most doctors in the Divine Physician Sect, and is also related to your family. Letting her participate in this competition to select an inheritor is both reasonable and fair, isn’t it?”

At this moment, Sun Chan also noticed Ji Yunmiao.

What Feng Zhengzhi was saying was that Nan Yan and Ji Yunmiao should compete in medical skills?

Sun Chan’s gaze suddenly became sharp.

At first, Ji Yunmiao had tried to avoid his gaze when he looked her way.

However, realizing that she was about to inherit the Divine Physician Sect and had no reason to tear Sun Chan anymore, her confidence grew. She dared to lock eyes with him.

She even greeted Sun Chan, saying, “Senior Uncle Sun.”

Sun Chan inwardly clenched his fist, feeling deeply disappointed by Ji Yunmiao’s unrepentant and ungrateful behavior.

Earlier, he had let it go because of Ji Youlin’s face and didn’t hold her responsible for impersonating Nan Yan and deceiving everyone.

But today, he unexpectedly saw her here!

Sun Chan wasn’t a hot-tempered person, and he could keep his emotions in check. Besides, he and Nan Yan had planned for this, so he remained relatively calm.

He looked at Feng Zhengzhi and then glanced around at the other senior brothers from the sect. He asked in a deep voice, “So, all of you have the same idea? You want to determine the inheritance rights of the Divine Physician Sect through a medical skills competition?”

“Junior Brother Sun, this is definitely about assessing capabilities. We can’t take the Divine Physician Sect lightly. It’s far too important, and this can’t be child’s play!”

“That’s right. What Senior Brother Feng means is what we all mean. We can’t be hasty and hand over the Divine Physician Sect to a young girl just because she’s Divine Physician Hua’s disciple. What if she can’t bear this responsibility?”

“We’re all working for the betterment of the Divine Physician Sect, and our intentions are good, Junior Brother Sun, you need to understand!”

The people from the sect were talking all at once, and every one of them supported Feng Zhengzhi’s stance.

Originally, they were all cut from the same cloth, but under the influence of the bustling city, they had changed. They were no longer the simple senior brothers they used to be.

Now, they valued their interests above all else!

Sun Chan was an exception, not fitting in with them, not part of their group.

After listening to their arguments, Sun Chan sneered, “Alright, since you all are so insistent, let’s go with your idea and proceed with the competition to select an inheritor.”

“But I have one condition, and you must agree to it first!”
