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

Jiang Qianyun arrived late, though she hadn't really wanted to come. She was still resentful about the broken engagement.

Who is Huo Linyu? He's a cripple who dares to break off the engagement with her. If anyone should break off the engagement, it should be her.

But under threats from her parents and urging from her older brother, she had no choice but to come.

Jiang Fusheng warned, "Qianyun, don't cause any trouble tonight. Also, you need to apologize to Linyu. You knew about the marriage agreement between our families, yet you insulted him with your words."

Jiang Fusheng's gaze paused for a moment when he saw Song Shuyue.

She's there too.

After the last incident, he often went home to discipline Jiang Qianyun. To his surprise, her temper was much worse than he had imagined.

Extremely vengeful, arrogant and domineering, and unwilling to admit or correct his mistakes.

"Brother, how many times do you need to say it? I'm not a child. I'll just pretend to be invisible tonight, okay? It's just a birthday party. If Elder Jing wasn't coming, I wouldn't have come even if you begged me."

Jiang Fusheng was soon pulled aside by his other friends to chat.

As a member of a wealthy family, Jiang Qianyun has many friends, but rather than friends, they are people who are willing to flatter her, and they all say things that Jiang Qianyun likes to hear.

"Qianyun, I heard that Huo Xiaoyu actually dared to go against you. She really doesn't know how to repay kindness, she's an ingrate. Back when she first came back from the countryside, she was just a country bumpkin. Who would want to talk to her? If you hadn't befriended her, she would probably still be somewhere in the shadows."

Jiang Qianyun snorted coldly, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain.

"Don't mention people like that in front of me again. I find them disgusting. I'm here today for Elder Jing."

"Qianyun, alright, we won't mention it again. Qianyun, do you want to become Master Jing's disciple?"

"Is there even a question? The only possible disciple of Elder Jing is our Qianyun. She is the most outstanding student in the entire academy."

"That's right, I can't think of anyone else who could be Jing Yuan's apprentice besides Qian Yun."

Jiang Qianyun felt very pleased, proud, and confident as she listened to the people praising her. "Look," she thought, "everyone thinks so."

Only she is worthy to be Master Jing's disciple.

Who does Song Shuyue even belong to?

Jiang Qianyun: "Alright, all of you stop talking. Actually, in my heart, whether or not I am a disciple is not important. What is important is that I have many questions to ask Elder Jing."

Huo Sijing tried to get close to Song Yanzhou, but Huo Linyu kept her away. Huo Linyu didn't have much affection for this younger sister. After realizing that she wasn't as simple as she seemed, he disliked her very much.

She had been trying to get his attention by being so attentive to him time and time again.

"Mr. Jing has arrived."

Someone spoke up, drawing everyone's attention. An elderly man slowly walked into the hall, greeted personally by the Huo family patriarch.

"It is truly an honor to have esteemed Elder Jing grace my humble abode with his presence."

When Jing Yuan saw his obedient disciple beside him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. Oh my, why is this girl looking so respectable today?

She's so quiet now, it's not like her anymore.

Normally, I would only make him so angry that his internal organs would ache.

"Sigh, those words are really shortening my lifespan."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Jiang Qianyun stepped forward, about to speak to Jing Yuan, but Jing Yuan turned aside and greeted Song Shuyue instead.

"Girl, I didn't expect you to come too."

Song Shuyue nodded and smiled knowingly. She felt a gaze filled with hatred and killing intent falling on her, and when she turned her head, she saw Jiang Qianyun.

This woman is truly haunting; her presence is everywhere.

Huo Sijing also wanted to make a good impression on Master Jing, hoping that she might be accepted as his apprentice.

"Hello, Mr. Jing."

"Hello everyone, I'm not the main character today, I'm just here to join in the fun, please continue."

"Moon Girl, I still have two questions about the prescription you wrote before. Come sit here and tell me why you changed the prescription like this."

Song Shuyue: "Okay."

The crowd buzzed with discussion, "Miss Song actually knows Elder Jing! They sound quite familiar with each other!"

"It seems so. Could it be that Master Jing has already taken on a disciple? Is she Master Jing's disciple?"

Jiang Qianyun and Huo Sijing immediately interrupted, saying, "No! Song Shuyue is not Master Jing's disciple. Master Jing has not yet accepted any disciples. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

Someone asked, "Master Jing, I heard that you were going to take on disciples at the academy. I wonder who your favorite disciple is? Could you tell us a little about it?"

"Yes, Master Jing's apprentice must be exceptionally talented."

"We all want to meet."

Jing Yuan laughed heartily and said, "My apprentice doesn't need to be exceptionally talented. I've said it before, I only need someone I find pleasing to the eye."

"Judging from Elder Jing's words, he has already taken on a disciple?"

Jing Yuan: "My apprentice is right here. Her talent may not be as good as many others, but I like her personality very much."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qianyun's heart pounded with excitement, and her eyes shone brightly.

Has Master Jing decided to accept a disciple today?

She had finally waited for this day.

All these years of hard work have been for this moment of glory.

Huo Sijing met Jiang Qianyun's gaze and gave her a look that said she wasn't sure who it was.

Jiang Qianyun didn't take her seriously at all. Song Shuyue was just a clown in front of her, let alone Huo Sijing.

She's not even as good as an ant.

There are only four students at the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine College: her, Song Shuyue, Huo Sijing, and Huo Xiaoyu.

Song Shuyue and Huo Xiaoyu were both ruled out early on. Master Jing looked down on Song Shuyue, and Huo Xiaoyu was not worth mentioning.

"Really? I wonder who Elder Jing's disciple is!"

"That's it."

"I think it should be Miss Jiang Qianyun from the Jiang family, after all, she is the most outstanding student of the Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Academy."

"That's right. She learned from her parents from a young age and has already developed excellent medical skills at a young age. She is indeed a promising talent."

"I also think it's Jiang Qianyun. After all, only Jiang Qianyun is powerful enough to meet Elder Jing's requirements."

Jiang Qianyun smiled.

Seeing that their conversation was getting more and more outrageous, Jing Yuan quickly spoke up to explain, "No, everyone has misunderstood. I admit that Jiang Qianyun is indeed a promising girl, and she is very talented, but I have already taken on a disciple. Come here, Xiaoyu."

Huo Xiaoyu really didn't want to reveal her identity, after all, her medical skills were terrible, and she was either being scolded or on her way to be scolded every day.

She seems to have embarrassed the old man a bit.

When Jiang Qianyun heard the name Xiaoyu, her body stiffened as if struck by lightning, and she couldn't move. Her pupils dilated suddenly, and the smile that she hadn't had time to hide froze on her face.
