Xie Jin clicked his tongue lightly and put down his phone.
He Xiuyun, who was standing next to him, asked out of rare curiosity, "Who is Commander Jiang?"
"It's my junior sister's boyfriend." Xie Jin sighed, "My junior sister's health was damaged because of him, and she probably won't be able to get pregnant in the future. My junior sister found out about this a couple of days ago, and the young couple's relationship is strained now."
"How did you get injured? Even your master couldn't do anything about it?"
"My junior sister is a bit slow-witted. My master isn't confident; he can only see if she can be cured," Xie Jin explained simply.
He wouldn't reveal everything, especially since it concerned Su Yan.
He Xiuyun could tell that he didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any further questions.
...
Wednesday.
A day from a short quiz I took half a month ago for a major combining Chinese and Western learning.
The test is on Traditional Chinese Medicine in the morning and Western Medicine in the afternoon.
The school takes the quizzes very seriously. There are only two classes, combining Chinese and Western approaches. The students and classrooms are randomly arranged, including the seating, which must be arranged by the school to prevent familiar students from sitting together and cheating.
After a morning of exams, the Traditional Chinese Medicine exams were over.
Almost all the students who came out of the classroom had a gloomy face.
The test paper for this quiz was created by the department head and several renowned professors. In contrast, the test papers for other majors are created by the professors themselves, so you can imagine how difficult they are.
Su Yan handed in her paper at a moderate time, not because she didn't know how to do it—she finished in half an hour—but because she was two weeks behind in her studies, she checked it very carefully; she couldn't let her teacher down.
As she came out of the classroom, Deng Ziyi and the other two had been waiting at the door for a long time. Before they could make any move, Director Zhong appeared from behind Su Yan.
"Su Yan, how did you feel about the Traditional Chinese Medicine exam this morning?" Director Zhong asked with a smile.
He happened to be proctoring Su Yan's classroom, and he noticed early on that Su Yan had finished her exam, which is why he came out to ask her.
Su Yan turned around, greeted the person first, and then replied, "I'm confident I can pass, but I can't guarantee anything else. I hope the director and teachers will be lenient when grading the papers."
"I can't go easy on you. After grading your paper, I still need to report to your teacher. I believe you did very well," Director Zhong praised without reservation.
He glanced at Su Yan's test paper a few times as he walked around, and all the answers were correct, so he thought Su Yan was being too modest.
"I hope you can take the Western medicine class this afternoon as seriously as you would the traditional Chinese medicine class."
Su Yan nodded, "Yes, thank you for your trust, Director."
"Alright, it's getting late, go eat." Director Zhong waved his hand.
She responded and then left with her three roommates who were completely dumbfounded.
However, what she didn't know was that her conversation with Director Zhong was overheard by someone with ulterior motives, and soon rumors began circulating in the medical department that Director Zhong was her relative.
During the meal, Deng Ziyi asked, "Ayan, why don't you seem nervous at all? I saw that the other students in your major all looked terrible when they came out."
Su Yan smiled and said, "Traditional Chinese medicine is my strong suit, so I'm confident I won't do too badly on the exam."
She knows all the questions and can solve them with ease.
"So what's your relationship with Director Zhong? He seems to know you quite well." Chen Ting finally couldn't help but ask after holding back for a while.
"I'm not that familiar with Director Zhong, but he knows my master," Su Yan said without hiding anything from them.
Deng Ziyi's eyes widened, and he quickly asked, "Then who is your master?"
Have you heard of the renowned traditional Chinese medicine master, Mr. Jue?
"Clatter—!"
Deng Ziyi dropped the chopsticks in his hand and stared blankly at Su Yan.
Bai Meng and Chen Ting were both dumbfounded, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
Su Yan felt a little uneasy under their gazes and hesitated before asking, "Is there a problem?"
Deng Ziyi wiped his face, turned to look at Bai Meng and Chen Ting, and asked, "Do you think there's no problem?"
Bai Meng and Chen Ting nodded in unison.
It's not just a problem; it's a huge problem!
"Your master is actually the famous Master Jue!" Deng Ziyi gasped, still shaken, and said, "No wonder, no wonder your senior brother looked so familiar when I first met him. Now I remember, your senior brother's name is Xie Jin, and he is Master Jue's chief disciple! Su Yan, you really kept this a secret!"
Su Yan blinked. "You know my master and my senior brother?"
Deng Ziyi looked at her as if she were an idiot. "I know them. I know them from TV and newspapers. How many people haven't heard of your master's name?"
Your senior brother is the same. The several patented drugs he developed not only saved our country a huge amount of money, but were also exported abroad, earning him a lot of money. He is an outstanding young figure in our country.
She hadn't expected Su Yan's master to be Jue Lao, so she felt that Xie Jin looked somewhat familiar. She didn't dare to think of the Xie Jin in the newspaper, assuming that Su Yan's senior brother just looked similar to that Xie Jin.
Now... now she feels like she's been struck by lightning, and she only regrets not asking Xie Jin for an autograph back then!
Su Yan raised an eyebrow, surprised that her senior brother was so awesome.
“I don’t usually pay much attention to the news,” she said.
Bai Meng spoke softly, "So, you don't even know who your senior brother is?"
Su Yan looked completely innocent. "I really didn't know. He doesn't usually bring these things up with me."
She always thought Xie Jin was just a doctor with great medical skills, a little money, and a university professor.
Deng Ziyi gritted her teeth and said, "I declare that from now on, you will be the object of my jealousy!!!"
Su Yan: "...Then, to avoid war, I'll hang around in front of you less in the future?"
"That's not right!" Deng Ziyi suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion, "Didn't Master Jue say a few years ago that he would no longer accept disciples? My relative's daughter is very talented in medicine. She asked to become Master Jue's disciple, but she was ruthlessly turned away."
“I am my master’s last disciple. There was an accident before the apprenticeship banquet, so it couldn’t be held. Now I have to go to school, so the apprenticeship banquet has to be canceled. My master said he will take me to the exchange meeting to meet people another day.”
Deng Ziyi: I felt an even colder chill in my heart.
She shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth, filled with indignation, and said angrily, "We're all human, so why are others so outstanding?"
That's his last disciple!
Just how outstanding must Su Yan be for Elder Jue to make an exception for her?
She thought her relative's daughter was already exceptionally talented. After learning that she had been rejected by Master Jue, Deng Ziyi felt that Master Jue was too rigid, saying he wouldn't accept disciples anymore and not valuing talent at all.
Now she knows she was wrong.
It's not that they don't value talent; it's just that her relative's daughter wasn't capable enough. It's not that Master Jue doesn't want to take her in; it's just that he didn't find her suitable.
