The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

Jing Yuan explained, "When I saw you last time, I felt that we were destined to meet. Girl, I sincerely want to take you as my disciple. Once you become my disciple, I will tell you everything you want to know."

Just as Jing Yuan finished speaking, Jiang Yu led the others out and told them, "Don't be discouraged. Master Jing's decision to accept disciples cannot be made so hastily. Everyone has a chance. Song Shuyue is too young. I will talk to Master Jing about it later."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They thought to themselves, it was impossible for Song Shuyue, who had just arrived at the academy, to be accepted as a disciple by Jing Yuan.

After everyone left, Jiang Qianyun clenched her fists, stood silently in place, staring at the door, unable to calm her emotions for a long time.

"Uncle, I want her dead!"

Jiang Qianyun gritted her teeth and said each word clearly.

Jiang Yu frowned. "Don't worry, I won't let Jing Yuan take her as a disciple. I'll handle this. You can go back now."

Jiang Qianyun's eyes were filled with resentment, "Uncle!"

Jiang Yu shouted sternly, "Go back!"

In the end, Jiang Qianyun had no choice but to grit her teeth and leave.

Jing Yuan originally wanted to take Song Shuyue as his apprentice, and had previously asked Jiang Yu to help him inquire about it.

Jiang Yu said she wasn't interested in medicine and refused his request.

When he discovered that she was also a student at the academy, he realized that Jiang Yu hadn't been telling him the truth.

"Moon Girl, could you let me see those medical books of yours?"

Song Shuyue hesitated for a moment, her eyes filled with suspicion, "How can I believe you have the first volume, or are you just trying to trick me into giving you the original copy?"

Jing Yuan burst into laughter. This girl is really clever!

"Girl, come inside with me. I'm an old man, I have no reason to lie to you."

As soon as Song Shuyue stepped into the room, the aroma of herbs filled the air. The old and rustic books were neatly arranged, and the decor was retro and grand. On the table were various rare herbs and a large pile of powdered medicinal materials.

Song Shuyue couldn't resist leaning over to smell it, and Jing Yuan noticed her curiosity about the powder.

He joked, "Girl, do you know what kind of medicinal herbs they are? If you can name them all correctly, I'll give you that medical book. It'll fit perfectly with your second volume."

After saying that, the old man looked at her with a smile.

Song Shuyue stepped forward.

"Coptis chinensis, Rehmannia glutinosa, Angelica sinensis, Glycyrrhiza uralensis (processed), Cinnabar, White peony root, Sophora japonica fruit, Cane sugar, Prunella vulgaris, Scutellaria baicalensis, Uncaria rhynchophylla, Prunella vulgaris, Leonurus japonicus, and Eucommia ulmoides. The first five herbs can treat common symptoms such as heart fire rising, arrhythmia, schizophrenia, and dizziness. The latter four can also treat common dizziness by calming the liver and suppressing yang. The last five herbs are mainly used to treat dizziness caused by kidney deficiency and liver yang hyperactivity, and are often used for hypertension. This row should all be herbs for treating common symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and blurred vision."

After Song Shuyue finished her serious analysis, Jing Yuan was dumbfounded and stood there stunned. Good heavens!

No! Is this girl really someone who has just started learning medicine?

If he hadn't known that she had studied medicine since elementary school or had been exposed to it from a young age, he would have found it hard to believe that she was self-taught.

genius!

How could he be a genius!

He asked incredulously, "Girl, tell me the truth, I won't be angry. Have you been studying art since you were little?"

Song Shuyue said in a serious tone, "Like I said, I only started learning it on my own recently."

In her past life, she was always on the march and fighting, so she didn't have time to learn these things. Learning martial arts alone was enough to exhaust her.

She only casually flipped through a few pages of the medical books the old man gave her.

As for why she is so familiar with these medicinal herbs, it is probably because she got used to finding them herself during the war years and accumulated some basic knowledge.

Jing Yuan's eyes welled up with tears. He had finally found a genius. He was incredibly fortunate to have met such a genius.

"Girl, would you like to be my student? I will pass on all the knowledge I have learned in my life to you. Although my abilities are limited, I will definitely train you to become the most powerful doctor."

Song Shuyue's gaze was calm and deep, but she was somewhat hesitant. She really disliked taking on a master.

"I don't have the habit of taking on apprentices."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan immediately understood, but he was not discouraged. He believed that as long as he demonstrated his strength, he wouldn't be afraid that the girl wouldn't be moved.

“I know that geniuses are unconventional, and I won’t force you. Look at these medical books of mine, aren’t they the same as yours?”

Jing Yuan handled the book with utmost care, as if it were a rare treasure, even slowing his breathing considerably, and showed it to Song Shuyue.

Song Shuyue also took out her three books. Jing Yuan's eyes widened again, and he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. He leaned over and stared intently at the books in Song Shuyue's hands.

There are four books in total! He thought there were only two volumes.

Jing Yuan stammered, "Little girl, if I may be so bold as to ask, where did you get this book?"

Song Shuyue: "An old man gave it to me to pass the time."

Jing Yuan felt as if a huge boulder had been dropped into her heart, causing a huge uproar. She almost couldn't catch her breath. She...she was the person her family had been searching for!

According to ancestral teachings, our ancestor personally gifted his medical skills to someone, saying it was just to pass the time!

The absurd reasons left them completely baffled.

My ancestors said that if one day they encounter someone with other medical skills, they will give them the medical skills they have.

The Jing family must regard this person as their benefactor, a great benefactor, and must not slack off, otherwise their descendants will not have a good death!

Is this something our ancestors would say?

It has been passed down orally from generation to generation!

I never expected that he would run into him today.

It turns out that this really happened.

The little girl in front of me was actually the one who had been kind to my ancestors.

Song Shuyue was unaware of the shock her words had brought to Jing Yuan, seeing him with tears in his eyes, staring blankly at her.

His lips twitched involuntarily, and he silently took two steps back.

"what happened?"

Jing Yuan wiped away his tears, extremely excited, "Girl, no, benefactor, the person who gave you the medical book is my ancestor. He established an ancestral precept that anyone who possesses the medical book 'Miscellaneous Diseases and Doubts' is a great benefactor of the Jing family. Now I am giving this book to you unconditionally."

Song Shuyue recalled the smiling old man; she had indeed helped him!

It was just a small favor, but I never expected him to pass on this kindness from generation to generation. This old man is truly someone worth befriending.

"This book belongs to your family; you may make a copy and keep it."

"Really?" Jing Yuan was extremely surprised that they knew their identities. She must know the value of these medical books.

Song Shuyue: "Hmm! Old man, in that case, it's impossible for me to become your apprentice, but I'll still learn from you."

Song Shuyue also learned some things about Jing Yuan. The Jing family was dwindling in number, and in his generation, he only had one daughter and one grandson, both of whom had already left him.

He was left all alone. His purpose in taking on disciples was to inherit the Jing family's legacy. She was a member of the Song family. She couldn't do it, but she could learn.

After all, many skills are not overwhelming.

“I know what you’re worried about. I can help your grandson find a way to survive, and I can even let him study medicine and follow in your footsteps.”

"really?"

Jing Yuan was both surprised and delighted. He was truly a benefactor, and his ancestors had such keen insight! He never expected that this person could save his Jing family.

Song Shuyue: "I never speak nonsense. Once I say something, I will never take it back."

Moved, Jing Yuan sighed and said, "Girl, I understand my family. I won't force them. I just hope that after I'm gone, someone can take care of them. That would be enough for me."

Song Shuyue carefully examined his face, wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

"I won't go back on my word. Back up your things first, and I should head back now."

Song Shuyue turned to leave, but Jing Yuan quickly stopped her. “Girl! This is all the research I’ve done in my life. Take a look first, and then I’ll teach you other things. I can see that you are exceptionally talented and your medical skills will surely surpass mine in the future. I might even benefit from your influence.”

Song Shuyue clasped her hands, bowed slightly, and said, "Old sir, I dare not accept such praise."

Jing Yuan sighed as he watched her retreating figure, his face full of regret. What a good girl she was; if only she could be his successor.

What a pity, what a pity.

She is the benefactor of the Jing family. How can a benefactor become a disciple? It doesn't make sense.

But thinking about it carefully, didn't he also pass on his medical skills?

We can't let him die of drought in his generation.

As Song Shuyue walked out the door, she ran into Jiang Yu, who stopped in his tracks, his eyes filled with intense anger.

Originally, she was Song Xue'er's daughter, and he shouldn't have targeted her at every turn. But if anyone is to blame, it's that this girl is too ungrateful, so don't blame him for bullying others by taking advantage of his power.

"Stop! Song Shuyue, I have a suggestion for you. I hope you can carefully consider your choice. Refuse to be accepted as a disciple by Elder Jing and stay in the academy. I will arrange for other professors to mentor you. You will have a great reputation in the future."

Song Shuyue sneered, her eyes cold and disdainful as she swept her gaze over him.

"Who do you think you are! You dare to give me advice? Jiang Yu, no one has ever dared to threaten me. What I do is my business, it has nothing to do with you. I'll give you a piece of advice: don't mess with me! Otherwise, your Jiang family will be in even worse shape than you believe!"

"You!" Jiang Yu was furious that he was being lectured by a young girl with yellow hair. He clenched his fists and his face turned red.

In his position, no one dared to challenge his dignity.

Song Shuyue is the first one, that's great!

She successfully embarked on a path of no return.

Song Shuyue strode away, and Jiang Yu, upon seeing Jing Yuan, went straight to the point, asking, "Elder Jing, are you really planning to take that girl as your disciple? She has problems with her upbringing, and..."

"Enough!" Before he could finish speaking, Jing Yuan interrupted him sharply, his eyes revealing his dissatisfaction. "Jiang Yu, I treat you like family, and I've guided you through many research projects, but that doesn't mean you can make decisions for me and use me like a fool."

Jiang Yu quickly lowered his head and hurriedly tried to defend himself, saying, "Master Jing, I didn't. You have always been the person I respect the most. I regard you as my idol. I have never thought of doing anything to betray you. I investigated the matter you asked me to do last time, but Song Shuyue's character is really not good. I was just afraid... afraid that you would get a villain who would ruin your reputation in the future!"

Jing Yuan was furious. He slammed his cane heavily on the ground and shouted, "Jiang Yu, even now you still won't tell the truth! You never wanted me to take anyone else as your apprentice. You wanted your niece to become my apprentice so you could use my reputation to strengthen your Jiang family! I understand your intentions, but I just didn't want to say it. I didn't want to embarrass everyone. Jiang Yu, your mistake was giving your niece the answers and letting her cheat!"

Jiang Yu's pupils dilated suddenly, as if struck by lightning. He trembled all over and stood there dumbfounded.

How could Jing Yuan know about this?

Jing Yuan was utterly disappointed in him, and shook her head helplessly, "I'm tired, you should go home early!"

"Elder Jing, I..."

Before Jiang Yu could explain anything, the bodyguard stepped forward and escorted him out.

Jiang Yu had no choice but to leave.

After school, Huo Xiaoyu was even more excited than Song Shuyue was when she saw her return. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that Song Shuyue had become Jing Yuan's apprentice.

"Song Shuyue, Song Shuyue, how is it? How is it? Has Elder Jing accepted you as his disciple?"

Huo Xiaoyu was so excited that she danced around, while Song Shuyue's sharp eyes fell on her.
