Two days later.
Medical exchange meeting.
The medical exchange meeting was held in Tsinghua University's largest auditorium.
Visitors must undergo a double check before they can successfully enter the hall.
Su Yan wore a black cheongsam that reached her ankles tonight, paired with high heels. Her long hair was casually tied back with a magnolia hairpin, and a few strands of hair fell down, making her look casual and lazy, with a gentle and intellectual beauty.
She walked in, arm in arm with Ye Feixu and Guo Ziming, looking around at everything inside. Her clear eyes reflected the shadows of the hall, and under the warm lighting, her eyes shone like stars.
Even though they met frequently and were quite familiar with each other, Guo Ziming couldn't help but be amazed by his junior sister's beauty.
He was momentarily stunned by her innocent and carefree demeanor.
Su Yan didn't notice his change at all; her attention was entirely on the Great Hall.
At this moment, the Great Hall was no different from a banquet. Small round tables were filled with all kinds of food, Western and Chinese pastries, as well as drinks. Everyone stood and chatted with drinks in hand, and every move they made revealed an elegant temperament.
The moment she and her two senior brothers entered, Su Yan clearly felt all eyes turning to her.
Ye Feixu dislikes participating in such activities; this is the first time he has done so.
It was because Su Yan was visiting for the first time that his master asked him and Guo Ziming to take care of their junior sister, which is why he came.
"Am I seeing things? It's Dean Ye and Vice Dean Guo? They actually came to this exchange meeting!"
"I have never met Vice Dean Guo, but I heard that Dean Ye came back last year to do research with Vice Dean Guo. I suppose the person next to Vice Dean Guo is Dean Ye."
"Hey? Who is that young lady arm in arm with Dean Ye and Vice Dean Guo?"
...
The people around were discussing it enthusiastically.
At this moment, a woman wearing a black overcoat, with an extremely beautiful appearance and a tall figure, walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Ye Feixu.
The woman extended her hand to him, her voice gentle and graceful, "Hello, Dean Ye, I am Yang Liqi from the Institute of Pharmaceutical Research. I was your assistant once before you returned to China."
Ye Feixu frowned, but did not reach out in response. He said coldly, "Sorry, I forgot."
Yang Liqi's smile froze for a moment, and she awkwardly withdrew her hand. "Then, then I was being presumptuous."
The atmosphere was a bit awkward; Yang Liqi was utterly humiliated in front of so many people.
Su Yan thought for a moment and then explained, "Miss Yang, my second senior brother is a medical fanatic. Not just you, but many people who have worked with him probably don't even remember him."
Everyone looked at Ye Feixu, wanting to see his reaction.
The other party didn't refute at all, and just glanced at Su Yan.
Yang Liqi sized up Su Yan and said, "Are you the newly accepted disciple of Elder Jue?"
Before Su Yan could speak, Guo Ziming said, "My master has been accepting disciples for over a year, and Miss Yang is only finding out now?"
After saying that, he didn't bother to listen to Yang Liqi's reply. He turned around and raised his voice to the crowd, "Today is my junior sister's first time participating in a medical exchange meeting. She is timid and easily frightened. Please take good care of her in the future."
Su Yan's eyes reddened.
Guo Ziming is blatantly favoring her, and at the same time, he is warning everyone not to bully her.
Even those who were dissatisfied had no choice but to submit due to Guo Ziming's status.
The atmosphere fell silent for a few seconds.
"Don't worry, Vice Dean Guo, your junior sister is also our junior sister."
"I might need Vice Dean Guo's junior sister to take care of me in the future."
"A disciple who can be accepted by Elder Jue by breaking the rules must be no ordinary person."
...
So, throughout the entire exchange, Su Yan was immersed in everyone's flattery, and she herself wished she could dig a hole and crawl into it.
But she wasn't stupid. Why did these people fawn over her? Because she was a disciple of Master Jue.
She didn't mind.
Yang Liqi, standing on the periphery, looked at Su Yan, who was surrounded by the crowd in the center, and her eyes turned red with jealousy.
After dealing with the people, Guo Ziming pulled Su Yan to rest on the sofa in the corner and reminded her, "Junior sister, that Yang Liqi wanted to become our master's disciple before, but she didn't meet our master's standards in any way, so she must be unhappy. You should stay away from her. If you see her, just pretend you don't know her. This woman is very scheming."
"I'm telling you, Second Senior Brother, you're something else. If you're going to find an assistant, fine, but why did you have to pick someone like Yang Liqi? Didn't you see the look she gave you just now? She can't be my junior sister, she wants to marry you and become my senior sister-in-law."
"Pfft, cough cough cough—!"
Su Yan burst out laughing, accidentally choking on her juice, and her pretty face instantly turned red.
Ye Feixu subconsciously reached out to pat her back, frowned at Guo Ziming, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense. The assistants I use for research are always arranged by the research institute."
In the past, he would never have explained that sentence.
But now his mouth opens unconsciously, faster than his brain can react.
Guo Ziming clicked his tongue and shook his head, deliberately teasing, "Our second senior brother is truly detached from worldly desires. He remains unmoved even with beautiful women by his side every day. He really is a living Tang Monk."
"Guo Ziming." Ye Feixu's voice turned cold.
Guo Ziming fell silent and honestly said, "Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Second Senior Brother is so stingy; he can't even take a joke."
Su Yan laughed and said, "Third Senior Brother, if you say another word, Second Senior Brother might get physical."
Guo Ziming touched his nose and subtly changed the subject, "Junior sister, why don't you go and talk to everyone and see if you can understand what they're saying? My second senior brother and I will rest here."
"Okay, I'll go then."
Su Yan wasn't intimidated at all. On the contrary, as soon as she stepped out on her own, someone immediately came up to her and said, "Miss Su, would you be interested in joining our chat group?"
Su Yan looked up and saw that the person who had stopped her was a young man. He was tall and had a refined demeanor. What was most attractive about him was his pair of azure eyes, which were like a sea filled with stars, deep and charming, and also bewitching.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the man smiled and said, "I was being presumptuous and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Fernandez, I'm from country Y, but my mother is from country A. I'm 27 years old and currently work in a medical research group in country Y."
He speaks fluent Chinese without any accent.
Su Yan nodded, extended her hand and said, "Hello Fernandez, my name is Su Yan, your Chinese is very standard."
After Fernandez responded politely, he got straight to the point: "Miss Su, I once wanted to become a disciple of Master Jue, but I was rejected three times. He said that I am very good, but not good enough for him to break the rules and accept me as a disciple."
I was shocked and curious when I heard that he had taken an 18-year-old girl as his last disciple. Therefore, I wanted to exchange ideas or discuss things with you, hoping that through this discussion I could discover your strengths and be truly convinced of your abilities.
