Grandpa Jue immediately said, "Then bring him to Beijing. I'll show him to you and hold a formal apprenticeship banquet. You are my only closed-door disciple, and I want to introduce you to people in the circle."
He wasn't thinking too much about it; all he could think about right now was the apprenticeship banquet. He wouldn't feel at ease until the ceremony was completed.
"You should be starting school soon, right? Why don't you come earlier and go directly from Beijing to Guangzhou after the apprenticeship banquet?"
Su Yan smiled and readily agreed, "Okay, then I'll go to Beijing when I have some free time these next few days. Thank you, Mr. Jue."
Grandpa Jue raised an eyebrow. "Still calling me Grandpa Jue?"
"Oh!" Su Yan patted her lips and called out sweetly, "Master!"
The old man felt a surge of satisfaction upon hearing the word "Master," and said with delight, "That's more like it. Also, would you like to change your major?"
After Su Yan returned, he specifically asked someone to check Su Yan's college entrance examination scores.
658 points.
With those grades, he could have chosen the best medical school in the country. It's a pity he met Su Yan too late; otherwise, he would have definitely encouraged her to apply to schools in Beijing.
He could help her change her major, but he couldn't help her change schools.
Grandpa Jue sighed inwardly, feeling a little regretful.
If Su Yan were in Beijing, she wouldn't need to travel back and forth between the two cities, especially since Beijing is quite far from Guangzhou.
Su Yan was unaware of what the old man was thinking. She hesitated before asking, "Master, are there any majors that combine Chinese and Western approaches?"
She had considered changing her major, but she wanted to pursue both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
She absolutely must master traditional Chinese medicine, but as for Western medicine, she only needs to learn it to a reasonable extent; otherwise, she'll have to ask someone else to interpret her reports in the future.
She remembered that there were majors that combined Chinese and Western elements in later generations, but she didn't know if such a major had emerged in this era.
Upon hearing this, the old man's brow twitched, and he asked meaningfully, "You want to learn a combination of Chinese and Western styles?"
Thinking he had misunderstood, Su Yan quickly explained why she wanted to study Western medicine: "That's how it is, Master, but I will always prioritize traditional Chinese medicine and use Western medicine as a supplement. I can't bite off more than I can chew, so I don't have high expectations for learning Western medicine."
As a result, the old man snorted coldly, "How can it not be high? My disciples cannot be bad. If you want to learn the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, I am very happy, but I must remind you that you must be number one in both Chinese and Western medicine. Otherwise, you will have to obediently learn Chinese medicine."
Grandpa Jue has no prejudice against Western medicine; on the contrary, he is quite interested in it and he is in contact with it regularly.
However, he was too old to learn as quickly as younger people, and he only scratched the surface of Western medicine.
But he can find Su Yan a top-notch Western medicine teacher.
Grandpa Jue always had very high standards for his studies.
He said this to give the girl a heads-up, so she wouldn't become complacent after studying this major.
If she can excel in both subjects, she will surely be my proudest disciple.
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
She thought the old man was prejudiced against Western medicine.
"Master, don't worry, I won't let you down!" she replied firmly.
Grandpa Jue responded, "Come over as soon as possible. I'm preparing to arrange the apprenticeship banquet. I need to conduct your first assessment before you go to school, so be prepared. Remember to tell me before you leave, and I'll have someone pick you up."
"good."
Grandpa Jue hung up the phone without saying anything more.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Guo Ziming immediately leaned over and asked, "Master, who called you? Is there some kind of apprenticeship banquet?"
Grandpa Jue glanced at him, a faint smile appearing on his aged face. "Soon, you will all have a new junior sister. Prepare a gift for her."
"What?" Guo Ziming thought he was hallucinating. After realizing what he had heard, his eyes widened and he said, "Master, didn't you say you weren't taking on any more disciples? A couple of years ago, some people brought promising talents to your door, and some even begged you to take one on, but you refused them all."
"That's different. Those are all pretty girls from modest families. Your junior sister is a beauty of unparalleled grace." Grandpa Jue gave Su Yan a very high evaluation.
This was something Guo Ziming hadn't expected.
It should be noted that, apart from his second senior brother who is conducting research in another country, Master has not been satisfied with either him or his eldest senior brother so far.
However, his and his senior brother's talents were indeed not as freakish as his second senior brother's. Could it be that his junior sister's talent was the same as his second senior brother's? Otherwise, Master would not be so satisfied with his junior sister.
"Master, where is Junior Sister from? What's her name? How did you two meet?"
Normally, Grandpa Jue wouldn't bother talking to him, but today he was in a very good mood.
"Your junior sister is named Su Yan. She's a girl from a small town in Lan City. She's 18 years old this year and got into Southern Medical University. That's my only regret. I wish she were in Beijing."
If he wanted to pass on all his knowledge to Su Yan, there wouldn't be enough time during summer and winter vacations.
Guo Ziming touched his nose.
How much ability can a girl from a small town have?
I doubt she even knows what it entails to learn in traditional Chinese medicine, and I don't know where her master saw her talent.
However, not wanting to upset his master, he said, "Then I'll tell my eldest and second eldest brothers about this."
He and his senior brother would definitely be present at the apprenticeship banquet. No matter what, they had to give their master face and not offend the old man.
But my second senior brother is a research fanatic. Apart from medical research, he doesn't care about anything else. If he knew, he would probably just say "oh" but he wouldn't possibly come all the way back from abroad.
As Guo Ziming pondered this, he got up and left to find his senior brother.
The master announced that he would not accept disciples when he was 55 years old, and only four years later he broke this rule.
If this news were to reach the minds of those across the country who wanted to become her disciples, they would likely be furious to learn that they had been defeated by a young girl from a small town.
His junior sister is having a tough time.
Of course, no matter how indifferent he was, he would never let anyone bully his junior sister, otherwise his master would be the first to punish him.
...
evening.
When Su Yan woke up and went downstairs, she heard Grandma Li crying.
"It's all my fault. Tiger's leg was injured when the big log was pressed on it. After I moved the log away, I saw that his leg was only a little red and swollen. I didn't think too much about it at the time and thought it would be fine in a couple of days. I didn't expect that it had pressed on his nerves and his throat... Sigh! I'm so sorry to his father!"
Grandma Li held Hu Zi in her arms, tears streaming down her face, repeating over and over again, "I'm sorry to his father."
Seeing his grandmother crying so sadly, Tiger also pouted, tears welling up in his eyes, as if he dared not cry out, afraid of worrying his grandmother. It was heartbreaking to see.
Grandpa Li squatted at the door, smoking silently, exuding an air of dejection.
