Three days later, the apprenticeship ceremony was held.

The apprenticeship banquet was held in the auditorium of Tsinghua University.

The fact that Elder He and Elder Jue both accepted the same disciple caused a huge sensation.

One of these two has been out of the public eye for several years due to poor health, yet his reputation remains.

One of them is a leading figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, holding an extremely high position.

It's one thing that these two people took on disciples at the same time, but what's most shocking is that Su Yan is only 20 years old!

Mr. He is extremely strict. His former apprentice couldn't stand his harshness and ran away to work for someone else. Now, someone actually jumped into this "fire pit"?

Who doesn't know the background of Elder He? As long as you can become his disciple, his resources will be left behind after he passes away. But the problem is, who can withstand his strictness?

Many people covet the resources he possesses, but for this reason, they dare not challenge him to become his disciple.

The apprenticeship banquet was very crowded; the entire hall was packed with people.

Elder He and Elder Jue invited everyone they knew, which shows how much they valued the occasion.

At 9:10, the auspicious time for the apprenticeship banquet.

Two benches were placed directly in front of the Great Hall, with a simple table between them.

Elder Jue and Elder He sat upright, with Elder Jue's three disciples behind them and her family members watching the ceremony from the side.

Su Yan knelt before the two men and respectfully said, "Master, Second Master, I am fortunate to have your favor. I will definitely study medicine diligently in the future and will not let you down."

The eldest master is Master Jue, and the second master is Master He.

The day before the apprenticeship banquet, everyone sat together to discuss the procedures.

Master Jue believed that Master He was of advanced age and should rightfully be the senior master.

However, Master He believed that everything should be done in a first-come, first-served manner. Master Jue had been cultivating Su Yan for so long, so it was only right to call him Master.

Neither of the two elderly people was willing to give in, so in the end, they decided to draw lots to decide whose opinion to follow.

Master Jue said first, "I hope that in the future you will not be impatient and will be able to calm down and study hard."

Old Master He followed closely behind, saying, "You must know how strict I am with my disciples. Your talent is exceptional, so I will have even higher expectations for you. I hope you won't give up halfway. Of course, I have an eccentric personality, so if I do anything wrong in the future, you can point it out at any time, and I will correct it promptly."

"Yes, I will keep your words in mind."

After Su Yan finished speaking, she stood up, and Guo Ziming, who was holding a cup of tea, walked up to her.

She picked up a cup of tea and walked to Master Jue, saying, "Master, please have some tea."

After taking a sip, Jue Lao offered the second cup to He Lao.

Old Man He, his eyes reddening, took her teacup, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

Su Yan smiled and comforted her, "Master, don't cry. Today is a very special day. You should smile more."

Old Master He put down his teacup, his usually meticulous face softening slightly. "I haven't been this happy in many years. Today, in front of everyone, I want to give you a gift, which is also a token of my appreciation for you."

After he finished speaking, Tong Chenguang immediately strode forward and handed the box in his hand to Elder He.

The box is square in shape and is a rare purplish-gold color. Its exterior is engraved with exquisite patterns, making it clear at a glance that it is no ordinary item.

Everyone present craned their necks, filled with curiosity about the box.

Old Master He slowly opened the lid. The inside of the box was padded with bright yellow cloth, and the most eye-catching thing was the white jade pendant in the middle, which was about the length of a palm.

The jade pendant is visibly fine, clear and flawless, and the "crane" character carved in the middle is so perfectly crafted that it is beyond reproach.

"Master, what is this...?" Su Yan asked, puzzled.

"This jade pendant has an extraordinary origin. It is a family heirloom passed down through ten generations of the He family. Only the successor of each generation is qualified to receive it. Today, I will pass it on to you. You will be the eleventh generation successor of the He family. This is not a dead jade. When you can stand on your own in the future, you will know how useful it is."

Everyone gasped, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Su Yan had just become an apprentice, yet Elder He had already given her such an important token so quickly?

Everyone knows what this jade pendant means. The He family has a history of ten generations. Even after the baptism of that dark period, the He family still has many treasures. Perhaps some of them are not in the public eye and they have never even seen them before.

Su Yan can not only quickly establish herself in her career by relying on the prestige of Elder He and Elder Jue, but she can also freely control everything in the He family. It can be said that her future is bright.

Thinking about all this, everyone couldn't help but feel envious of Su Yan's good fortune.

With these two masters and the protection of her three senior brothers, she will never have to worry in this life. She can even walk around Beijing with impunity and no one will dare to say anything.

Su Yan quickly realized what was happening and said, "Master, I haven't even started receiving your teachings yet. How could I dare to accept something so important now? Why don't you give it to me after I've mastered my skills?"

Without hesitation, Elder He shook his head and placed the box directly in her hand, solemnly saying, "I believe in you, and you must believe in yourself too."

Su Yan paused for a few seconds, her hand holding the box tightening. She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll take it!"

She didn't know anything else, but she knew that once she accepted the jade pendant, she had no way to back out.

If the road ahead is full of thorns, even if she gets pricked and bleeds all over, she will still take it one step at a time.

Never look back, never regret!

The apprenticeship ceremony has now come to a successful conclusion.

Those who came to participate all went to a nearby state-run restaurant for lunch.

Su Yan followed Guo Ziming and the others to greet the guests and also took the opportunity to say hello to everyone.

Elder He and Elder Jue waited for them to return in the private room.

Taking advantage of the fact that only the two old men were present, Elder Jue asked, "Elder He, are you worried that Yan'er won't be able to hold on, so you gave her the jade pendant early on? To prevent her from having a chance to back out?"

Old Crane admitted, "Old Jue, I don't want to force that girl, but I have no other choice but to do this."

Since he hadn't spent much time with Su Yan, he had to keep a backup plan in case of future troubles.

If this girl regrets it, how long will he have to wait for his next apprentice? Perhaps he won't wait until he dies.

If he were ten or twenty years younger, he wouldn't agree with the practice of a disciple having two masters, but now he has to compromise.

Old Master Jue wasn't angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Your concerns are valid, but Yan'er is more resolute than you and I imagined. Let's see how things develop in the future."

At this moment, the door to the private room was pushed open.

It was Su Yan, Xie Jin, Ye Feixu, and Guo Ziming, who was completely drunk, who returned. Li Juan and the Tao family followed behind them.

Jiang Jingxing and Su Yu simply couldn't find the time, so they didn't come.

Old Jue looked disgusted and said, "How did you get so drunk?"

Xie Jin mocked, "To be like this after being forced to drink a few cups is really embarrassing."

"I...I'm not drunk!" Guo Ziming protested loudly. "I'm perfectly sober, I'm just a little...a little nauseous—!"

He hugged Xie Jin and vomited violently!

Everyone: "..."
