"Yan'er?" Yu Nanqing frowned, even he was no longer sure if Su Wanyan was telling the truth.
Su Wanyan raised her hand, signaling Yu Nanqing to calm down: "However, I will not become your disciple, nor will I inherit your Hundred Nether Valley."
Xiao Chensheng asked curiously, "Then who are you?"
"Exchange and learn".
"..." Xiao Chensheng looked at her with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?"
He wanted Su Wanyan to go to Baiyou Valley so that she would become his heir, but now she only wants to exchange and learn?
He learned his medical skills but didn't leave them in Hundred Nether Valley. Xiao Chensheng scoffed, "Why do you think I would agree?"
"Oh, never mind then." Su Wanyan said decisively, "Actually, I don't really care about this. I'll learn if I can, and I won't if I can't."
She doesn't have a penchant for forcing others to do things against their will.
"..." Upon hearing this, Xiao Chensheng fell silent again.
How could she just give up like that?
Why doesn't she struggle any longer?
We should at least discuss some terms.
“What’s wrong with inheriting my mantle? You’ll be worshipped by all, roam the martial world freely, and as long as you reveal the name of Hundred Nether Valley, who will dare to stop you?” Xiao Chensheng offered his temptation.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan smiled and looked at Xiao Chensheng: "I think you may be mistaken. My medical skills are no worse than yours."
Xiao Chensheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he heard Su Wanyan continue, "Back then, you couldn't cure Yu Nanqing, but I did. This is enough to prove that I have many shortcomings, but given time, can you guarantee that my medical skills will not surpass yours?"
“I don’t need to rely on the reputation of Baiyou Valley. I’m only fourteen years old this year. I have a lifetime to study medicine. Do you think I can’t make a name for myself?”
Not to mention, she also has the help of the system, which allows her to develop even more acupuncture techniques.
However, she felt that if she could learn and exchange medical skills with Xiao Chensheng, it would save her from taking many detours.
It must be said that Su Wanyan was right.
Xiao Chensheng knew this, which is why he wanted Su Wanyan to be his disciple.
He followed his master into the Valley of a Hundred Netherworlds, where he devoted himself to studying medicine for decades, which led to his current achievements...
No, if we're talking about achievements, it's just the prestige left by his master. He seems to have inherited his master's mantle, but he suffers a mental breakdown during one treatment after another.
Ultimately, they took an unconventional approach, resulting in what we see today.
For the first time, Xiao Chensheng suppressed his smile, still resting his chin on his hand, but his narrow eyebrows and eyes had become serious.
He does not deny the results his obsession with the poison doctor brought him, but ultimately it went against his master's beliefs.
Even now, he still doesn't understand why his master entrusted Hundred Nether Valley to him before his death.
Su Wanyan is only thirteen years old, yet she was able to cure Yu Nanqing, whom even he couldn't cure; her talent is beyond doubt.
She possesses the best qualities and is the best candidate to become his disciple.
What should we do?
I really don't want such a promising talent to fall into the hands of others.
Xiao Chensheng suddenly revealed a cryptic smile. Why not just snatch her away?
However, the thought had barely formed in his mind when Yu Nanqing's sinister eyes were already fixed on him.
The idea that had just begun to form was reluctantly dismissed: "If I teach you everything I've ever learned, what will you give me in return?"
Su Wanyan smiled: "I won't take advantage of you. I have recorded all the acupuncture techniques and treatments used to treat Yu Nanqing. I have even recorded his daily physical condition, diet, and recovery progress in great detail. Would you like to take a look?"
Xiao Chensheng's eyes flickered slightly, but the glint was fleeting.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't tempted.
After all, he could only come up with a way to bring Yu Nanqing back to the brink of death, and he still wasn't confident that he could make him fully recover like he is now.
"It sounds like I'm at a disadvantage." Xiao Chensheng tried to pull the argument back a little.
Su Wanyan said decisively, "Forget it."
"make a deal."
Su Wanyan nodded in satisfaction, but then changed the subject, raising her index finger: "However, when we go is up to me, and also..."
"Anything else?" Xiao Chensheng smiled. "You have too many things to do."
"You need to give me an explanation for your matter of acting as the Valley Master. If you don't know, go and find out for yourself. It hasn't been that long since you came and gone; there's no way you couldn't find out."
"Acting Valley Master?" Xiao Chensheng's smile remained unchanged, but his pupils had already turned to the side, a hint of killing intent surging within. Hundred Nether Valley had never had an acting Valley Master: "I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."
He originally intended to settle scores with her.
“Alright.” Su Wanyan slammed her hand on the table: “Then, let’s talk about the Eldest Princess.”
Xiao Chensheng raised his hand and waved it: "I hope you will spare me."
As if he could no longer hold on, his head tilted strangely to one side, and even his smile turned into a bewildered expression: "I just fought with the prince, and my internal organs feel like they're shattered. Let me rest for a while, and we'll talk again tomorrow."
This sight startled Su Wanyan, who cried out "Eek—" and threw herself into Yu Nanqing's arms, utterly disgusted: "How disgusting!"
Xiao Chensheng, however, became interested: "Would you like to know how I did it?"
However, before Su Wanyan could reply, he gave up and looked at her with a sly smile: "Fine, I just hope I won't scare you in the future."
How could Su Wanyan not care about his strange behavior?
His brow was clearly stabbed by Yu Nanqing, and the wound was still there, but there was no blood at all; it looked like a shallow scratch.
This is also why Su Wanyan wanted to talk to him about studying medicine. She was really curious: could medicine really reach this level?
Although his behavior was strange, when Xiao Chensheng opened the door, he had already resumed his fake smile, holding a slender pipe in his hand, which added to his mystery.
To be honest, after all this trouble, Su Wanyan was exhausted.
As soon as Xiao Chensheng left, Su Wanyan slumped weakly into Yu Nanqing's arms.
Yu Nanqing looked displeased and sadly raised his hand to gently stroke the back of Su Wanyan's head.
His smooth, dark hair brushed against his palm, carrying a slightly cool touch. He pursed his thin lips, unsure of what to say, only murmuring his unique nickname: "Yan'er..."
Su Wanyan turned over, gently took his large hand and pressed it against her face. Yu Nanqing's handsome face was reflected in her eyes. She smiled and asked, "Are you angry?"
"No." How could he be angry with her?
Yu Nanqing said in a deep voice, "I just feel useless..."
He felt utterly useless, unable to guess what Yan'er wanted.
He also felt incredibly incompetent, having arranged things that Yan'er disliked.
Seeing the look in his eyes, Su Wanyan raised her hand and slapped his face: "Are you overthinking again?"
"..."
"Isn't this great?" Su Wanyan smiled. "It can satisfy my desire for medical treatment and also allow him to help us stall Emperor Yuanhe. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?"
