Liu Yumin was deeply distressed by the injuries on Zhu Fanfan's body. Although there were no major wounds, only small, delicate ones, Fanfan's constitution was relatively good, and the scabs would form by tomorrow and fall off the day after. Her skin would recover to normal in seven days. However, this did not stop her from harboring even more resentment towards Elder Dan. Her well-behaved granddaughter had turned into a wild monkey in just one day.
She told Fanfan to take a bath by herself, and then went downstairs to see Elder Dan. As soon as she came downstairs, she saw Elder Dan sitting upright, his serious expression like that of a warrior who would rather die than surrender after being captured.
Liu Yumin faced Elder Dan directly. Elder Dan, though feeling guilty, remained expressionless: ...
Liu Yumin smiled gently: "I only have this one granddaughter. She has always been well-behaved and quiet. Sometimes she is too sensible and doesn't know how to refuse others. I don't want her to do things she doesn't like."
Elder Dan: ...
He was trying hard to remember who the child who was rolling on the ground like a madman was, and who the person who was jumping up and down in the trees more agile than a monkey was. He even wondered if he had misheard.
Liu Yumin continued, "Although I don't have much power, it's not too difficult for me to meet with national leaders and speak on matters. My opinions are also taken seriously, so I'm not afraid of offending people."
Although she was just a doctor and had worked with the Chairman during the war, they weren't exactly close, but if they met, the Chairman would definitely recognize her name. Even if she had to swallow her pride, her words still carried weight. She didn't want Fanfan to learn alchemy, as it wasn't very difficult.
Elder Dan: ...If you're so capable, then don't threaten him.
Seeing that Elder Dan remained silent, Liu Yumin asked again, "Did Elder Dan understand?"
Elder Dan replied with feigned arrogance, "I understand. I will not force her to do anything."
Of course, Zhu Fanfan did it voluntarily, so he didn't blame her. He was obedient and didn't force her at all. Zhu Fanfan liked to play, and at least she entered the threshold of light-body skills in just one afternoon. How could he easily let go of such a good talent? Vice Dean Liu has a powerful backer, and so does he.
After Zhu Fanfan finished washing up, Liu Yu felt extremely sorry for her and quickly pulled her over: "Did you apply the medicine?"
Zhu Fanfan replied, "Yes, I'm on."
Liu Yumin said, "I'll check it over in a bit. I'll apply the medicine to the areas you can't see. Fanfan, what did you learn from Elder Dan this afternoon?"
Zhu Fanfan honestly replied, "Besides chopping wood, I also learned to climb trees. I can climb them quickly and accurately."
Elder Dan was stunned. Was he teaching him how to chop wood and climb trees?
Liu Yumin smiled and asked, "Fanfan, would you like to learn?"
Zhu Fanfan nodded happily: "I want to learn, it's fun."
Liu Yumin's gaze towards Elder Dan was piercing, which frightened Elder Dan into quickly explaining, "I taught her to chop wood to train her spiritual sense, and to climb trees to train her reaction ability. I taught her the incantation, and she learned lightness skill."
Liu Yumin softened her tone and said to Fanfan, "Fanfan! If you don't want to learn, no one can force you. If anything happens, Grandma will cover for you. If Grandma can't cover for you, there's your great-grandfather. The two of us can easily protect you."
The master's words carry more weight. As long as we make a fuss about his short life, who would dare to disrespect him?
Elder Dan was displeased: "Fanfan's talent for alchemy is extremely rare, how can we waste it? What I teach is all practical, you don't understand..."
There was no sound from below because Liu Yumin directly retorted, "What don't you understand?"
The elixir and the medicine are inseparable; she is in charge of the medicine, so how could she not understand that?
Elder Dan said aggressively, "If you don't understand, I'll explain until you do."
Liu Yumin was furious: "I also studied medicine and know internal energy cultivation. I've never seen anyone practice internal energy cultivation or spiritual awareness by chopping wood or climbing trees. Why don't you just go to heaven? I don't understand. Tell me what I don't understand and see who doesn't understand. What a huge examination, it can contain all the mountains and rivers. In the garlic family, who do you think you are? You taught my sweet and cuddly granddaughter like a monkey. Should I thank you for that?!"
She may not be a leading figure in the medical field, but she has been involved with it since childhood and holds a prominent position in the industry. Anyone who dares to question her medical skills must be dealt with severely; she would not be Liu Yumin if she did not berate them until they were driven to despair.
She doesn't care how she teaches her granddaughter, but she can't use unorthodox methods.
Elder Dan: ...Don't you know your own granddaughter's temper? He felt wronged, but dared not say it; Vice Dean Liu's face was too terrifying.
Zhu Fanfan immediately explained, "Grandma, I really enjoy Grandpa Dan's classes. I've learned a lot."
Liu Yumin ignored him and instead faced Elder Dan, asking, "Tell me, what don't I understand?"
Elder Dan dared not speak. He was really afraid that Vice Dean Liu would complain and prevent Zhu Fanfan from learning alchemy. He had finally found someone with talent, so he could only promise, "No matter how I train in the future, I will definitely try to get your approval. This time I did not think things through, and I will not do it again."
Waaah, at his age, he still gets scolded. Vice Dean Liu reminded him of his former senior sister—no, their expressions were exactly the same. If she was unhappy, she would put a stern face on him and start accusing him. As long as he admitted his mistakes and had a good attitude, everything would be fine.
Seeing that his wife's anger had subsided, Zhu Jiabao advised, "Elder Dan and I teach children differently. You had Fanfan practice dissection before, and it was incredibly bloody at first, but it got better later, didn't it? I don't hold back when teaching children either. I discipline them the same way I always do. A gem cannot be made without being polished."
Liu Yumin's hands were itching to hit someone again, but since there were outsiders present, she gave him face and said, "Elder Dan, I hope that when you teach Fanfan in the future, you can treat her like a girl, okay?"
Elder Dan hesitated, asking uncertainly, "Is it okay?"
Seeing that Liu Yumin was about to get angry again, Elder Dan replied confidently, "Fine!"
The girls in their Taoist temple are good at everything, from climbing trees on mountains to catching fish in rivers. Most importantly, the girls learn to behave like the boys, and are even more violent than the boys. Fanfan's nature is similar to that of the girls in the Taoist temple, so he should like them, right?
Liu Yumin was relieved and left with Zhu Fanfan. Her master would be arriving soon; she had heard him talk all afternoon about giving Elder Dan a hard time.
After applying the medicine to Fanfan, I took Fanfan downstairs and found that the situation, which should have been tense, was unusually harmonious. Master and Elder Dan were very happy to see each other, and they were even about to become sworn brothers. The two of them were chatting and laughing.
Master showed no sign of wanting to settle scores with someone that afternoon. Who was she deliberately trying to manipulate Elder Dan for? In the end, Master switched sides with her. Was she just playing with her for fun?
To everyone's surprise, when the three men in the hall saw Liu Yumin, they acted as if they were avoiding a cat or a mouse. They immediately straightened up from their slouching positions, looking like three active-duty soldiers with their backs ramrod straight, exuding righteousness.
