Hearing this, she nodded shyly.

She stared down at her stomach, not daring to look up.

In her view, as long as the child is healthy and safe, that's all that matters.

She doesn't care about gender; she's still young, and if she wants both a son and a daughter, she can have them later.

With a smile on her face, Madam Dongfang said, "Actually, as long as the child is healthy and safe, that's all that matters. But seeing how much you value your daughter, I'm still very happy."

I hope that among your younger generation, no one will hold feudalistic ideas of favoring sons over daughters. Of course, it would be best to treat them all equally; they are all your own children, and you love them all the same.

The old lady felt heartbroken when she thought of her second son's family.

Hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan held the old lady's hand tightly and said, "It's all in the past, Mom. Die'er is doing very well now."

The butterfly is the Eastern butterfly.

After upholding justice and turning against her own family, she left the Dongfang family independently and disappeared for some time afterward.

But starting a year later, every year during the Lunar New Year, they would receive gifts and a letter from her to reassure her parents.

However, Dongfang Yi and the two elders were still uneasy, worried that what was said in the letter did not match the facts, so they specially sent someone to investigate.

Seeing that what she said was true, he did not bother her again.

Hearing this, the old lady nodded. "Oh, why am I saying all this? Young people can talk about their own things. Don't worry about me."

Then the old lady said to Dongfang Tinglan, "Tinglan, I'm a little tired. Can you help me upstairs to rest for a while?"

Dongfang Tinglan nodded in agreement.

Seeing his wife leave, Old Master Dongfang made an excuse to leave as well.

After Old Master Dongfang left, seeing that everyone present was young, Old Master Ye also went out to go fishing.

Only Gong Beize and Ye Mohan remained in the tea room.

Neither father nor son spoke, until Gong Beize finally broke the silence.

When will you and Xue'er set off?

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan looked at Gong Beize and said, "I'll leave after attending Ling'er's child's full moon celebration."

Gong Beize nodded. "Yes, remember to protect Xue'er. Don't act impulsively no matter what happens. Always remember that you are not alone. You have Xue'er and the children behind you."

Ye Mohan said, "Yes, I will, Dad."

After the old lady left, everyone continued chatting for a while longer.

Because Ji Lei and Ding Yi were pregnant, they were prone to drowsiness during their special period, so they didn't chat for long before parting ways.

In the afternoon, when Gong Yixue went to find Gong Jianwenhua and Zhang Shu, Gong Jianwenhua was in the pharmacy, explaining his medical insights to Zhang Shu.

The pharmacy is on the third floor, and it was specially renovated by Ye Mohan for Gong Yixue.

Although she usually spends her time in the space making medicine and researching medical techniques, Ye Mohan still carefully prepared a space for her to conduct medical research.

The entire third floor is equipped with a state-of-the-art security system, and only those with registered fingerprints are allowed to go up.

Gong Yixue came in and sat down on a chair to wait.

She was also a medical student, so she naturally understood that people don't like being interrupted when giving explanations, whether they are professors or people who are not interested in learning.

Gong Yixue waited on the chair for a while, and then Gong Jianwenhua and Zhang Shu got up and came over.

They usually carried it with them. Zhang Shu was eager to learn, and Gong Jian and Wen Hua were naturally happy to teach him.

Although Zhang Shu's talent is not as great as Gong Yixue's, her strength lies in her diligence and willingness to ask questions when she doesn't understand something.

Exceptional talent is indeed a gift from God.

However, there are very few geniuses who can truly rely on their talent to become leaders in various fields.

After all, the number of geniuses is limited.

Most people are still hardworking.

"Xue'er, what brings you here to see your master?" Gong Jianwen asked as he sat down.

Gong Yixue said, "I'm sorry, Master, I'm not here to see you today. I'm here to see my junior brother."

Upon hearing this, Gong Jianwen looked up at Zhang Shu.

Zhang Shuchong shook his head at Gong Jianwenhua, then looked at Gong Yixue with a bewildered expression and asked, "Senior Sister, you were looking for me?"

Gong Yixue nodded and said, "Yes, my wedding is now over, and I will be leaving the country soon."

Construction is already underway in the Delta region, and I need you to go there for me. I'll try to come over later as well.

After pausing, he added, "Once things are on track over there, you can leave."

Now that Zhang Shu is his master's disciple, and considering his previous promise to him to travel the world with his master, practicing medicine and saving lives,

She naturally couldn't break the contract.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shu nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Sister, when do we depart?"

"Let's set off on the same day after attending Ling'er's baby's one-month celebration in a few days."

Gong Yixue thought for a moment and then said.

She thought that Zhang Shu had finally met his master, so she encouraged him to spend more time with his master and study together.

The area is still under construction, so Zhang Shu's arrival a few days later won't have any impact.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shu nodded, "I will follow Senior Sister's instructions."

Gong Jianwenhua was somewhat puzzled and frowned, saying, "Xue'er, why would you send your junior brother to a place like that! It's too dangerous. He's weak and helpless; he might not even be able to save his life there."

Gong Jianwenhua was unaware of Gong Yixue's situation in the Delta. In his memory, the Delta was a dangerous place where humans and mermaids mingled.

Gong Yixue was alright, as she had martial arts skills to rely on, but Zhang Shu was someone who knew nothing except medicine.

Zhang Shu: ...Master, don't I have any pride?

Kung Chien-Wen Hua: Am I not telling the truth?

Zhang Shu: ...It's true, and we probably can't give him even the slightest bit of face.

Just as Zhang Shu was about to speak and explain, Gong Yixue beat him to it.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue couldn't help but smile.

Master was so worried that he completely ignored the first half of her words.

Then he said, "Master, that was before, now..."

Gong Yixue told Gong Jianwenhua everything about her and the "Soul Loser".

As soon as Gong Yixue finished speaking, Zhang Shu echoed, "Yes, Senior Sister has already told me everything. I went voluntarily. I am very happy to be able to help Senior Sister. It is also a way to repay Senior Sister for finding such a good master for me."

Gong Jianwenhua pondered for a moment and said, "Although what you want to do is a bit greedy, it is ultimately a good thing."

Gong Yixue: ...Master, you're just praising and criticizing, it would be better if you said nothing at all.

Gong Jianwen paused for a moment and said, "Since Zhang Shu is going there, I'll go with him. It's been a long time since I've been to the Delta, so let's treat it as a revisit to the past."

Gong Yixue didn't think much of it after hearing this, since she was used to her master traveling around all year round. She just nodded lightly.
