Yang Lao looked at Jiang Nuan in surprise and asked, "Little girl, you want to learn from them?"
He was astonished. These four old men were not human; their teaching methods were extremely peculiar, and most people couldn't endure them.
However, he forgot that Jiang Nuan was no ordinary person.
Elder Li looked at him and said, "What, you don't agree?"
How could Yang Lao dare to disagree? He chuckled, "Master, how could I dare not to agree? I'm afraid of being bullied by Nuan Nuan and you four old men."
Elder Wang looked at him with a displeased expression. "Little Yang, you can leave now."
Having been promoted from disciple to master, he didn't want to revert to being a disciple again.
If it weren't for Old Li's stubbornness, they would have been in quite an awkward position.
Fortunately, this young lady was quite adept at handling people.
Yang Lao looked at Jiang Nuan again and asked with a smile, "Little girl, are you really willing to learn from these four old men?"
Jiang Nuan didn't understand Yang Lao's intention or why he needed such confirmation. She nodded seriously, "Yes! Elder Yang."
She couldn't ask for anything more than to exchange medical knowledge with them!
Seeing Jiang Nuan's genuine willingness, Yang Lao stopped trying to persuade her. He said, "Nuan Nuan, don't regret this."
The four old men glared at Yang Lao in unison.
Elder Zhang, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help himself at this moment. "You brat, you say it as if we're going to eat people."
Elder Bai, who had been silent all along, also spoke, "My acupuncture techniques finally have a successor, and will forever be profound and extensive," the old man said with relief.
Yang Lao smiled, looking at the four sly old men. Now that they claimed to have a successor, what did that make him?
Yang Lao left in a huff, ultimately making himself angry.
Jiang Nuan looked at her four teachers and smiled, "Four teachers, I will come to learn with you tomorrow morning."
Elder Li said, "No rush. You just woke up, your mind isn't entirely clear yet. I'll give you three days of leave. Go out and see the world. Come back after three days."
Jiang Nuan thought about it. That was fine. Since she was here, she might as well spend a few days playing in Qi Kingdom.
It just so happened that Yi Hao was also resting, so she could take him along to explore for a few days.
As for Mu Jiuchen, he already knew she was in danger, so he would be fine.
She chased after Yang Lao.
Yang Lao seemed to know she would follow, as he waited for her not far away.
"Elder Yang, are you angry?" Jiang Nuan asked with a smile, walking quickly to Yang Lao's side.
Yang Lao shook his head and chuckled. He also regarded Jiang Nuan as his granddaughter. His voice was doting, "Why would I be angry? With one more good doctor in the world, fewer patients will suffer. It's just that the way those four old men teach is a bit peculiar, especially Elder Li, who is very stern."
Jiang Nuan knew Yang Lao was concerned about her. She smiled, "Elder Yang, thank you. I can do it."
"Indeed. I forgot you are j. Nan Zhou was unlucky; you woke up just as he left. Yi Hao also left. I'm returning home tomorrow as well. Surgeries are waiting for me abroad."
"Ah..." Jiang Nuan's hopes were dashed.
Never mind, she would explore on her own. She had nothing else to do anyway.
"Elder Yang, when you get back, please tell my family that I am fine and will return in three months."
Yang Lao nodded understandingly. "Okay! I'll call your grandfather later. He should be very happy to hear this."
"Alright," she thought it would be better for them to tell him.
As for Mu Jiuchen, Jiang Nuan had already made arrangements with Yi Hao to tell Mu Jiuchen to come for a business trip in three months and pick her up. Yi Hao knew how to tell Mu Jiuchen without him coming to find her.
After bidding farewell to Yang Lao, Jiang Nuan returned to the room arranged by Hai Jiao Yi Hao and lay on the bed to rest.
Without her phone, she could only pass the time by sleeping. She had just woken up and was still very weak. Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
In Jin City, when Mu Jiuchen returned, Li Yanheng had already moved into his house and was chatting and laughing with the two children.
The Lu brothers were not at home.
"Brother, you're back." Li Yanheng was the first to see Mu Jiuchen and ran towards him with a smile.
Mu Jiuchen nodded slightly. Seeing him run over excitedly, he felt a peculiar sensation in his heart. He had siblings, but they didn't keep in touch, and their meetings were filled with sarcastic remarks.
This person before him was his brother, yet he felt a different connection than he did with Mu Sichen and the others.
"Brother, we were waiting for you to have dinner together. Elder Brother Lu and the others went out to play and won't be back for dinner tonight."
Mu Jiuchen looked at him and said calmly, "I'll go change. I'll be down in a bit. You guys go ahead and eat."
Li Yanheng nodded with a smile. His face, which had been swollen and bruised, had already subsided. Jiang Nuan's medicine was very effective, which allowed him to run out like this.
Mu Jiuchen went upstairs to change. After changing into casual clothes, he sat on the sofa, feeling a bit weak. His dark gaze swept across the room. He wondered if Nuan Nuan had followed him back.
He felt different today compared to yesterday. Yesterday, he had felt Nuan Nuan's presence, but after sleeping, that feeling was gone, and he felt a strange sense of panic.
"Nuan Nuan, are you still here?" he asked gently. The empty room offered no response.
Only at the corner of the curtain was there a faint glint of glass.
He smiled. Night was approaching, and he would be able to see Nuan Nuan again soon.
Mu Jiuchen's phone rang. Looking down, he saw it was Li Qing Shuo.
"Xiao Jiu, want to hang out tonight?" Li Qing Shuo sounded very happy on the other end.
Mu Jiuchen refused him, "Not going out. Going to sleep."
Li Qing Shuo thought he had misheard. Mu Jiuchen, who often suffered from insomnia, wanted to sleep.
"Xiao Jiu, are you crazy? I invited you out to hang out. I've already made plans with Ming Run. They're coming too," Li Qing Shuo couldn't help but repeat himself.
He knew Mu Jiuchen had been feeling down lately and wanted to invite him out to relax.
Mu Jiuchen: "Not coming." Then he hung up. He wanted to stay home and accompany Nuan Nuan.
He stood up, his imposing figure filled with loneliness.
"Nuan Nuan, I'm going down to eat." She had said she would always be by his side, and he believed her.
After a few steps, a special notification sound set for Yi Hao rang.
He froze instantly and quickly tapped his phone to see.
Yi Hao: [Congratulations, Ninth Master, j has passed the danger period. In three months, come to Qi Kingdom to pick j home. Following this, j will be given a one-year vacation.]
Mu Jiuchen's hand holding the phone tightened abruptly. He started to smile foolishly. Nuan Nuan was out of danger. Nuan Nuan was well. He would see Nuan Nuan in three months.
No, three months was too long. After getting out of danger, domestic doctors could take good care of Nuan Nuan.
Mu Jiuchen sent a message to Yi Hao, [I want to see Nuan Nuan immediately.]
After he sent it, there was a red exclamation mark!
Mu Jiuchen was stunned. Yi Hao had blocked him.
He frowned and called Yi Hao, but a polite voice came through: [The number you have dialed is currently in use.]
Mu Jiuchen was instantly amused and exasperated. What was Yi Hao trying to do?
