Chapter 413: Returning Together

“What did Feng Zhengzhi and the others do?” Hua Shifang’s face darkened.
Having secluded himself in Shennongjia for over a decade, he had long ceased to concern himself with the affairs of the sect and had distanced himself from that world, away from all the complexities and clamor.
After so many years, hearing Feng Zhengzhi’s name again only filled him with disgust.
Sun Chan, in front of Hua Shifang, was far from composed.
He lacked the air of a transcendent hermit and instead vividly described how shameless Feng Zhengzhi and the elders were.
He explained how they had come to cause trouble again, asserting that they believed Divine Physician Sect owed its current success to them and that it was no longer the same sect created by the founding physicians.
However, Nan Yan had shown her mettle, directly forbidding them from using the Divine Physician Sect’s name and insisting they establish their own identity.
As Sun Chan recounted the events, he sounded relieved. Then, his tone shifted, and he said, “Senior Brother, if you were here, none of this would have happened, and they wouldn’t dare to treat me and Yanyan this way. Those money-hungry bastards… I’ve made up my mind. After I’ve managed Hundred
Herb Garden and handed it over to Yanyan, I’ll come here to keep you company. We’ll live a life where we rise with the sun and rest with the sunset. “In my absence, they’ve grown even more lawless!” Hua Shifang’s eyes deepened, and his stern face exuded an aura of authority.
He had initially chosen seclusion in Shennongjia because he disagreed with the values of those in the sect and had grown tired of human greed. Who would have thought that his departure not only failed to rein them in but also seemed to make them even worse.
Hua Shifang couldn’t help but self-reflect. Had his decision to leave and escape from these things he found repulsive been the right one?
Once Sun Chan finished speaking, Hua Shifang subtly furrowed his brow and then looked kindly at Nan Yan. “Yanyan, what do you intend to do?”
“No one can take away what belongs to my Master, whether it’s the Divine Physician Sect or the Hundred Herb Garden. I won’t surrender them to them,” Nan Yan asserted dominantly and confidently.
Hua Shifang and Sun Chan couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.
Fu Yubai also made his intentions clear. “Master, Master Uncle, I will stand by
Little Junior Sister’s side and help her, protect her.”
Since he had already left the Fu family, he might as well stay by Nan Yan’s side in the future.
Hua Shifang nodded approvingly. “That’s right. With Yubai willing to stay with Yanyan and assist her, I can rest assured.”
“I wonder where the other two brats have gone. When we get in touch with them, we should have them come and help Little Junior Sister.”
While the eldest and second eldest disciples didn’t possess extraordinary medical talents, they had learned various other skills, particularly the second eldest’s expertise in herb cultivation. This would be useful in managing the Hundred Herb Garden.
Nan Yan said, “Master, everyone has their own lives. Big Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother may have already established their own careers. It’s enough for Third Senior Brother to stay and help me.”
If it weren’t for Fu Yubai’s initiative to stay, Nan Yan wouldn’t have wanted to disturb anyone else.
Furthermore, she and her eldest and second eldest senior brothers hadn’t been in contact for about five or six years. It might be best not to disturb them.
Hua Shifang, in a commanding tone, said, “An order from your master is a command. If you need them, Yanyan, just say the word, and I’ll send them to help you.”
“Alright, but we don’t need them right now. Third Senior Brother and I can handle it. We’ll let you know when we can’t.” “Hmm, don’t be too stubborn, you hear me?”
“I understand…”
The master and disciples sat back at the wooden table and listened to Nan Yan discuss other matters.
During their conversation, Nan Yan also talked about the Seven Deadly Sins and human genetic experiments.
Sun Chan slammed the table and exclaimed, “Defying the laws of nature and attempting to achieve immortality, aren’t they courting disaster?”
Nan Yan replied, “Second Master, achieving immortality is quite ordinary for humanity these days.”
Sun Chan thought back to the airplane he had taken earlier and fell silent.
Although Hua Shifang’s main focus was traditional Chinese medicine, he wasn’t ignorant of Western medicine. In his earlier years, he had ventured abroad to study Western medicine and had also delved into genetics and biochemistry. He had a deeper understanding of genetic experiments than Sun
Chan.
Hua Shifang spoke seriously, “Yanyan, we must stop them from conducting genetic experiments, or it could lead to a catastrophic disaster for the world.”
“I understand,” Nan Yan’s tone turned cold and filled with determination. “Master, they once caused my death, and they are the culprits who killed my parents. I will not rest until they are defeated.”
For whatever reason, she was determined to annihilate this organization!
Hua Shifang hesitated.
After more than a decade in seclusion, should he leave Shennongjia and explore the outside world?
He had grown accustomed to this pure and relaxed way of life. Could he return to the outside world?
Nan Yan and the others didn’t plan to leave so soon; they intended to stay in Shennongjia for a few days. So Hua Shifang had plenty of time to consider his next steps.
In the following days, Nan Yan and Fu Yubai went herb picking in the mountains as they used to. Sun Chan stayed behind to cook meals.
After they returned, they would eat the simple meals cooked by Sun Chan, process the herbs they had picked in the afternoon, and go fishing by a small stream in the afternoon. In the evenings, they enjoyed grilled fish.
Sun Chan loved the natural food of Shennongjia.
With no additives, the taste was pure and fresh, far superior to the fruits and vegetables outside that were ripened with chemicals and grown with various synthetic fertilizers.
“Yanyan, how about you and Yubai go back first? I’ll stay here and spend more time with Senior Brother,” Sun Chan suggested.
Sun Chan was enjoying his stay in Shennongjia and didn’t want to leave.
Hua Shifang stroked his beard and gave him a glance. “We can come back later. I plan to return with Yanyan and the others.”
Nan Yan and Fu Yubai were surprised and asked in unison, “Master, are you leaving Shennongjia?”
“When my disciples have matters to attend to, how can I, as their master enjoy a comfortable life here? Besides, those old folks from the sect not only bully me but also my disciples. I’m going back to deal with them,” Hua Shifang replied.
After several days of consideration, Hua Shifang had decided to return.
Once he saw that Nan Yan could handle things on her own and resolve the issues, he could return in peace.
“Senior Brother, that’s wonderful! I thought you’d never want to leave this place in your entire life!” Sun Chan exclaimed happily.
Let those people from the sect see who the true master of the Divine Physician Sect is this time!
Let’s see what excuses they can come up with.
“Senior Brother, are you going back to support Yanyan?” Sun Chan asked.
Hua Shifang replied calmly, “Of course.”
“It’s been over a decade.. Haven’t you missed me at all?”
