Nan Yan settled the three patients in Sun Chan’s courtyard.
She definitely couldn’t take the patients to the Qin family.
Relatively speaking, Sun Chan’s place was the best choice.
Although Tao Qingming also suggested taking the patients to his place, it wasn’t suitable there.
Here at Sun Chan’s, it would be more convenient to use medicinal herbs.
As for the two elders who came to supervise, they were also accommodated in the courtyard.
“Elder Tao, can you arrange a time for me to meet with the traditional Chinese medicine doctors from the Chinese Medicine Association in the next few days?”
Recently, she had mainly been treating the three patients, which didn’t take up much of her time, leaving her relatively free.
With Tao Qingming conveniently here, she could address some of the promises she had made.
Tao Qingming initially wanted to suggest that she focus on the ongoing competition first.
However, he then remembered the conditions of the three patients that he had examined earlier and relaxed his nerves.
The conditions of those three patients were much milder compared to those of Old Master Cheng and Professor Yun Zhiyun.
Since Nan Yan could cure the illnesses of Old Master Cheng and Professor Yun Zhiyun, how could she not treat these patients?
Thinking this, Tao Qingming nodded, “Alright, I’ll let the old folks in the group know. Actually, you’ve already met a few of them today, but I’ll introduce you properly when we meet.”
“Sure.” Nan Yan responded, “Elder Tao, if you have something to attend to, feel free to go. If not, I’m going to start the first round of treatment for them now.
You can stay and watch.”
Tao Qingming smiled and said, “What could I possibly have to do? Of course, I’ll stay and watch! I can learn something from watching you treat the patients.”
After Sun Chan came back, she busied herself arranging accommodations for the three patients. Once she was done, she came over.
“Yanyan, let me know what medicinal herbs you need later, and I’ll go get them from the Hundred Herb Garden.
“Alright, Second Master, you and Elder Tao can come over together.”
The other two elders from the Divine Physician Sect didn’t need Nan Yan to invite them; they quickly followed along to observe.
After a round of treatments, it was already two hours later.
Afterward, Nan Yan wrote three prescription slips and handed them to Sun Chan.
“Second Master, these are the medicines needed for the treatments. The instructions for decoction and dosages are all here. Administer them morning and night.”
Sun Chan glanced at the three prescription slips, and then he showed them to Tao Qingming before folding them neatly and putting them in his pocket.
“If you have other things to attend to, you can go ahead. Leave the brewing and administering of medicine to me; I won’t make any mistakes.” Nan Yan had informed Sun Chan in advance that she had a competition at her school in a couple of days, where she was the team leader and had to participate.
Therefore, she couldn’t stay with the three patients all the time. It was a minor matter, and he could handle it for her.
The two elders from the Divine Physician Sect exchanged a glance and spoke,
“Elder Sun, this isn’t in compliance with the rules.”
“The competition stipulates that Nan Yan and Ji Yunmiao should compete alone, without any interference from others.”
“What’s not in compliance? Nan Yan is diagnosing and prescribing treatment alone. During this process, who is interfering?”
Elder A frowned and said, “She should also be responsible for brewing the medicine.”
Sun Chan replied coldly, “Brewing medicine is the first lesson for learning traditional Chinese medicine. Do you still need to assess this basic skill?”
“If you think it’s against the rules for me to brew the medicine, then let my apprentice do it. He’s about the same age as Nan Yan, so it should be acceptable, right?”
Seeing that Sun Chan was clearly displeased, the two elders didn’t dare to object any further and reluctantly agreed.
If Nan Yan didn’t have to go and couldn’t free herself up, she wouldn’t have
bothered Sun Chan.
Originally, when she heard the two elders sternly saying it wasn’t allowed, she was considering whether she should come early on the day of the competition to brew the medicine.
However, when she heard that the two elders had changed their minds, she didn’t bring it up again.
With the two elders looking after the three patients, Nan Yan, Sun Chan, and Tao Qingming went to the Hundred Herb Garden to collect medicinal herbs. Tao Qingming was mainly interested in visiting the mysterious herbal planting base, and since he had nothing else to do and Nan Yan was there, he saw an opportunity to visit.
When they returned from the Hundred Herb Garden with the medicinal herbs, Nan Yan personally brewed the first batch of medicine to show the two elders her basic skills in preparing herbal decoctions.
She stayed in the courtyard until three or four in the afternoon before leaving.
Tao Qingming went with her, and they took her car.
“Elder Tao, where are you headed?”
Nan Yan was driving today. She fastened her seatbelt and asked, looking back. Tao Qingming replied, “Just drop me off at the Cheng family’s house.”
“Sure.”
Nan Yan started the car, and once it was running, she steered the wheel and gently pressed the gas pedal, smoothly merging onto the highway.
From the courtyard to the Cheng family’s house, it would take about an hour or so.
With an elderly person in the car, Nan Yan drove steadily and didn’t speed.
Originally, the drive was quite normal, but Nan Yan soon sensed that something was amiss.
There were cars following her.
Not just one car!
Two black cars were tailing her, one on the left and one on the right, and they were chasing closely.
At this time, the road was relatively empty, making it suitable for a high-speed chase.
“Elder Tao, fasten your seatbelt and close your eyes.”
“Hmm?”
Tao Qingming was a bit puzzled for a moment.
“There are people tracking us from behind, and I need to shake them off.”
Tao Qingming’s expression turned serious, “Who are they? Could it be dangerous? Yanyan, should we call the police?”
“No need, calling the police won’t help in time. We have to rely on ourselves.” Nan Yan spoke with a calm tone, “Just hold on tight, leave the rest to me.” “Oh, okay.” Tao Qingming quickly followed Nan Yan’s instructions, gripping the seatbelt tightly.
However, he didn’t close his eyes; instead, he turned his head to look behind.
Once he was prepared, Nan Yan suddenly accelerated.
The car, which was originally traveling at a steady speed of fifty kilometers per hour, reached over one hundred kilometers per hour within three seconds.
And the speed was still increasing.
Tao Qingming instantly felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest!
The powerful force pushing him back made his whole body press against the seat, and his breathing became somewhat uncomfortable. It felt as though his brain had momentarily lost its ability to function.
The two cars, upon realizing that Nan Yan had noticed them and was accelerating, immediately increased their speed to catch up..
