The weather in Beijing had turned slightly cooler, and Su Yan specially wore a brown plaid wool midi skirt, a white undershirt, and a black leather jacket. She wore white socks and black leather shoes. Her delicate face was free of makeup, yet her stunning features were still undeniable. Her skin was fair and rosy, without a single flaw. Her long hair was styled into a loose bun, making her look both intellectual and playful.
She was smiling, her eyes crinkling to reveal her neat teeth, and two dimples on her cheeks. Her tall figure was backlit by the not-too-bright sun, making her look like a painting.
Guo Ziming was stunned for a moment, then, without changing his expression, he took her hand and said in a serious tone, "If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me."
"Thank you, Third Senior Brother."
“Alright, don’t stand at the door talking, come inside with your master,” said Master Jue.
Su Yan responded softly, then helped him up the stairs.
Guo Ziming's gaze followed Su Yan, his mind a little sluggish.
He scratched his head and muttered, "Why is this junior sister not quite what I expected?"
He thought that his junior sister came from such a remote place, so she must be a dark-skinned, rustic girl with a heavy accent and poor hygiene. He never expected her to be so beautiful. She didn't look like a girl from the countryside at all.
Guo Ziming walked through the door, feeling frustrated.
When I came in, Master was already chatting with Junior Sister.
He picked up the teapot, intending to pour tea for Su Yan, but then, as if remembering something, he put the teapot down and went into the kitchen.
Two minutes later.
He came out with a bottle of soda and a plate of fruit and placed them in front of Su Yan.
“I didn’t know if you liked tea, so I got you a soft drink,” he said.
Su Yan was a little surprised and quickly said, "Okay, thank you, senior brother."
It seems Brother Tang was right; Third Senior Brother is quite easy to get along with.
Guo Ziming sat down next to his master.
Master Jue glanced at his third disciple, then looked away and continued, "I've invited over a hundred people to the apprenticeship banquet tomorrow. It's not a particularly large number, and the process is quite simple. After the ceremony, I'll take you to meet everyone. Don't be nervous."
Su Yan nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Master."
"You're willing to be my disciple, so what's a little hardship? In the end, I'm the one who benefits, hahaha!" Old Master Jue couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, thinking of something, he earnestly advised, "Your three senior brothers are unwilling to delve into traditional Chinese medicine after completing their apprenticeships. You mustn't follow their example, or your master might leave with regrets!"
Su Yan immediately said, "Master, don't worry. Although I changed my major to a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, I still prefer traditional Chinese medicine. No matter what, I will prioritize traditional Chinese medicine and use Western medicine as a supplement."
She didn't agree rashly because she was afraid of upsetting her master; she simply had a strong interest in traditional Chinese medicine.
As expected.
Master Jue's face immediately lit up with joy, and his gaze toward her became even more loving. "Master knew you were the most obedient. You are Master's beloved disciple. Your senior brothers are all disobedient wicked disciples!"
Su Yan: "..."
She glanced at Guo Ziming with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Guo Ziming: "..."
He touched the tip of his nose, thinking that his junior sister was still too naive. She didn't know that her master was setting a trap for her, and she foolishly jumped into it.
It seems his junior sister is a simple-minded person. He should keep a close eye on her in the future to prevent her from being bullied.
"By the way, besides your family, do you also want to invite others to the apprenticeship banquet?" Master Jue asked.
Su Yan shook her head, "No, Master can arrange it."
Li Yongcheng had just taken over the braised food shop on his own, and she was a little worried about him, so she asked Qiu Xiaorou to stay there for two days. She told her to buy a ticket to come to Beijing to find her after everything was fine, so she didn't come with her.
As for Jiang Jingxing, he still doesn't know that she has already arrived in Beijing.
However, her older brother has returned to the army, so he probably already knows, but he may not have time to attend her apprenticeship banquet.
Mr. Jue said, “Alright, the apprenticeship banquet will be held at the People’s Hotel, starting at 7 pm tomorrow. I will have your third senior brother pick you up from where you are staying. Is everything in your current courtyard house complete? If not, I will have it delivered over.”
"The courtyard house has been renovated. The rooms all have beds left by the previous owner. Brother Tang drove my brother and me to the furniture market and bought furniture. Everything is ready, so Master doesn't need to worry."
Guo Ziming was a little surprised to hear this. "Junior Sister bought a courtyard house in Beijing?"
He thought it was a place his master had arranged for him to stay.
He didn't know much about Su Yan, but courtyard houses in Beijing are not cheap, costing tens of thousands of yuan at the very least. Where would his junior sister, a girl from a small town, get so much money?
Su Yan replied, "Yes, I bought it when I last came to Beijing. Counting the time, it's been about two weeks."
Seeing Guo Ziming's surprise, she explained, "I run a small business at home, which is why I had the money to buy a courtyard house."
"Huh?" Guo Ziming was a little confused. "Junior sister can do business? You look like a minor."
Old Master Jue snorted coldly and said irritably, "Your junior sister is not only good at business, but she's also planning to open a restaurant in Yangcheng. Look how old she is! She can make money and has medical skills, and she's quite talented! What were you doing at your age? Thinking about how to avoid the homework I assigned you!"
Guo Ziming's face instantly turned bright red, and he protested, "Master, don't expose my shortcomings in front of my junior sister! Don't I have any dignity?!"
Just now, he's been slapped in the face too many times!
He thought his junior sister was a dark-skinned, unsophisticated, and unhygienic country bumpkin! Turns out she wasn't!
He thought his junior sister's place was arranged by their master, and that she even brought her whole family to stay there! But it turned out not to be!
He never expected that the disciple his master had casually taken in as his last disciple would be so extraordinary!
Nobody told him that!
Su Yan quickly tried to smooth things over, "Master, please don't say that about Third Senior Brother. He's very capable. He opened a hospital to train medical students and became a professor at a university! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have the energy to take care of so many things."
"He's half-hearted and can't focus on one thing!" Old Jue said disdainfully.
Guo Ziming's face, which had just calmed down, turned red again!
He was indeed the disciple that Master disliked the most, without exception!
Su Yan's lips twitched.
It can't be rounded, it simply can't be rounded!
Old Master Jue glanced at Guo Ziming's face, then stood up with satisfaction. "Alright, I won't say anything more. Ayan, come with me to offer incense to your great-grandfather."
As Su Yan passed Guo Ziming, she whispered, "Senior brother, don't be angry. You won't be handsome if you're angry."
After saying that, she quickly caught up with her master and asked, "Grandmaster? Is that your master?"
"yes."
Guo Ziming watched Su Yan's retreating figure. The girl's voice was soft and hesitant, like a timid kitten.
Guo Ziming suddenly stopped being angry.
