Chapter 366: The Decision
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Feng Zhengzhi’s emotions were slightly agitated as he asked, “What’s the condition?”
They were worried that Sun Chan wouldn’t agree. Regardless of the situation,
Sun Chan was Hua Shifang’s direct junior brother and the owner of Hundred
Herb Garden. If they were to fall out over this issue and strain their relationship, it wouldn’t be worth it.
Being able to resolve this matter amicably would be the best!
Sun Chan looked at their eager expressions and said with a serious tone, “Since we’ve decided to determine the inheritance rights of the Divine Physician Sect through a medical competition, once the final result is decided, there should be no thoughts of retracting or coming up with any underhanded ways to prevent the winning successor from inheriting the Divine Physician Sect.”
“Let me make it clear: if your chosen successor wins against me and my disciple, I won’t say a word about the Divine Physician Sect from that point on. However, if my disciple wins, I would like you all to promise not to interfere with the Divine Physician Sect in any way in the future. Can you do that?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Zhengzhi hesitated for a moment. If they agreed to this condition and the young girl really won, it would mean cutting off all ties with the Divine Physician Sect in the future…
The others also exchanged glances, appearing unsure about how to proceed.
Sun Chan’s cold demeanor intensified, and he emotionlessly added, “Or perhaps, you’d like to discuss it among yourselves first?”
“Well, that might be a good idea,” Feng Zhengzhi agreed without hesitation.
Then, the group of them went to another room to discuss the matter.
Sun Chan clenched his fists inwardly, barely holding back his anger, refraining from scolding them.
A bunch of shameless old geezers!
He had rarely returned to the Divine Physician Sect over the years, precisely because of this reason.
The current Heaven and Earth Alliance was no longer the same as before.
It was now filled with worldly desires and greed, and the people he had known before made him feel increasingly estranged!
On the other hand, Nan Yan looked at Ji Yunmiao with a cold and indifferent gaze, her eyes filled with chilling hostility. “It seems you still haven’t learned your lesson.”
Ji Yunmiao fearlessly met her gaze and spoke arrogantly, “This time, I didn’t rely on your identity as a Divine Physician Hua’s disciple but on my own abilities to earn the recognition of Master and the others.”
“On the contrary, it’s you!” Ji Yunmiao’s tone was mocking, “Even if you’re a disciple of a Divine Physician Hua, so what? These years, you’ve never appeared in the medical field, let alone made any contributions to traditional Chinese medicine. You won’t be acknowledged at all.”
Ji Yunmiao didn’t believe for a moment that Nan Yan’s medical skills could surpass her own. She firmly believed that her own abilities far exceeded those of Nan Yan, who had an undeserved reputation as a Divine Physician Hua’s disciple!
Nan Yan responded to her excessive self-confidence with a disdainful chuckle,
“Don’t rush, there will come a time when you realize the gap between us.”
Ji Yunmiao’s expression darkened slightly, and she looked at Nan Yan with a hint of gloominess, as if she wanted to use her gaze to overpower Nan Yan.
Unfortunately, Nan Yan paid her no attention whatsoever.
Such a person wasn’t even worthy of her wasting her energy and words on.
Sun Chan had long lost any favorable impression of Ji Yunmiao. He walked over to sit beside Nan Yan without even sparing her a glance.
Before long, Feng Zhengzhi’s disciple, Dong Kai, came out and called for Ji Yunmiao to enter. It seemed that they couldn’t reach a decision on this matter for the time being.
Nan Yan’s eyes flickered with a touch of mockery that she quickly concealed, and she sat down next to Sun Chan.
Suddenly, Sun Chan let out a sigh and said, “Yanyan, I now somewhat understand why senior brother Hua chose to leave the sect all those years ago…”
Hua Shifang had a more resolute personality than him and was less tolerant of shortcomings. If it weren’t for his profound disappointment in them, how could he have made up his mind to silently leave!
Nan Yan remained silent for a moment before suggesting, “Second Master, how about you come along this time with Third Senior Brother and I to visit Master Hua?”
“When are you planning to go?” Sun Chan’s eyes lit up. “I want to go with you!”
He hadn’t seen his senior brother for over a decade and really wanted to see him again!
Nan Yan replied, “Wait another ten days or so, until my Third Senior Brother’s condition has improved. Then, we’ll go together.”
“What happened to your Third Senior Brother?” Sun Chan’s reaction was a bit slow. “Also, how many disciples does your Master have?”
“Third Senior Brother had a recent illness but has just been cured. He’s still in recovery. As for my Master, he has a total of four disciples. I have three senior brothers above me, but I’m the only one who is a direct disciple inheriting his medical skills.”
All four of them were direct disciples.
It was just that they learned different things from their Master.
The outside world claimed she was the only direct disciple, but that was only because she was the one who had learned his medical skills.
The other three senior brothers had also learned medicine, but their focus was on other abilities.
In a quiet conversation between the master and disciple, in another room, Feng Zhengzhi and the others were solemnly questioning Ji Yunmiao.
“Do you really have the confidence to defeat that young girl?”
Ji Yunmiao nodded confidently, “Absolutely!”
She paused for a moment and added, “Divine Physician Hua left more than a decade ago, and even if she started learning traditional Chinese medicine at an early age, it would have been just a few years of exposure.”
“But I’ve been learning medicine since I was three years old, following my father and grandfather. It’s been over twenty years now. Whether it’s in terms of education or experience, I’ll definitely surpass her!”
“If that’s the case, then we agree,” Feng Zhengzhi said, looking at Ji Yunmiao.
“Yunmiao, you must win for sure. Otherwise, the future of the Divine Physician Sect will have no connection with us.”
Ji Yunmiao replied confidently, “Rest assured. I will definitely not let you down!”
“Alright, let’s go outside,” Feng Zhengzhi said as he and the others returned to the hall.
“Ahem, we’ve discussed it,” he began.
Seeing this, Nan Yan and Sun Chan stood up.
Sun Chan asked, “So, what was the result of your discussion?”
“We’ll go along with what you proposed,” Feng Zhengzhi said firmly. “But I also have a request.”
“You have another request?” Sun Chan was almost exasperated by how thick-skinned they were.
“It’s like this, the Divine Physician Hua’s Sect and Hundred Herb Garden complement each other’s existence. We hope that if you lose, you won’t be stingy and will continue to supply medicinal herbs to the Divine Physician Sect.”
“Of course, we won’t ask for free supplies. We’ll purchase them at half the market price. How does that sound?”
“We’re all from the same sect, and we can’t become complete strangers in the future, right?”
Sun Chan took a deep breath and said expressionlessly, “Naturally, regardless of who inherits the Divine Physician Sect in the future, the supply chain between Hundred Herb Garden and the Divine Physician Sect will not be severed.”
“Great!” Feng Zhengzhi clapped his hands. “Since you are so straightforward, we agree to your request.”
Nan Yan added calmly, “Words alone aren’t sufficient. Let’s sign a contract..”
