Qin Li gazed at the goddess with a pitiful expression, his fists clenched.
"Miss Ji, I, Qin Li, remember all the hardships and grievances you suffered for Master Pei!"
At the beginning of the season, Han's expression was dispirited: "I can endure as much humiliation as possible, what matters is that all these efforts are in vain. The Lu family will not take action for this."
Qin Li was very resentful in his heart.
Just as they were about to get on the bus, a little medicine boy ran over.
"Miss Ji, Master Lu invites you back!"
The two of them exchanged a glance, and their eyes both sparkled with understanding.
It's still the same living room, but Lu Jingyan has already changed his face.
At this moment, he was under so much pressure that even the little boy serving tea couldn't help but shiver, yet he still wanted to show a bit of harmony and compromise.
"This is eighteen scholars', this year's, drink up."
His tone was cold and hard, this was probably the most kindness he could show in front of the Ji family.
The eighteen scholars are the top-grade of West Lake Longjing tea, and it is said that only a few kilograms can be produced each year, all of which are supplied to high-ranking officials for use.
It's been many years since the Ji family last used it, and usually it was only used to entertain honored guests, but now the Lu family is using it to entertain her...
At the beginning of the season, I picked up a teacup, and the fragrance filled my lungs. My mood was extremely comfortable.
"Lu asked me to come back, is there something going on?"
Lu Jingnian suppressed his anger and forced himself to speak in a tone that was barely audible.
"I heard that the Ji family is also studying the Ghost Gate Needle, and Miss Ji has a natural talent for it?"
Indeed, Ji's research on Guimen needle was her, and she also achieved some success.
Although it's still far from being as good as Lu Lao Jiu, being able to study and achieve this level on one's own is already a genius among geniuses.
Guimenzhen emphasizes innate talent, she dares to say that among the younger generation, if her talent is second, no one dares to be first.
This should be where Lu Jingyan suddenly changed his mind.
"At the beginning of the season, Han Xiang said: 'I just roughly understand the skin and hair.'"
Yan Luo San knocked on the door and managed to get it roughly done, but it's still a bit rough around the edges.
Who is being ridiculed?
But thinking back, this might be the Ji family's trump card that they left for themselves. The reason it hasn't been publicly displayed is probably because the technique isn't mature yet, which means there's value in jointly researching it with the Lu family.
He straightened his posture and reopened: "Does Miss Ji have any interest in studying this medical technique with the Lu family?"
Ji Chu Han was overjoyed beyond expectation, and the Lu family had actually relented.
Her own talent was more important to them than she had imagined it to be for herself.
Lu Jingyan saw Ji Chuhuan's heart move, and hurriedly added: "Don't rush to answer, if you want to cooperate, I have a condition. That is, Miss Ji must join the Lu family, limited to ten years."
"What?" Qin Li almost jumped up in surprise.
At the beginning of the season, Han is still the heir of the Ji family. How can you bear to mention letting someone join the Lu family?
At the beginning of the season, Han Mianluo struggled to reveal his face. Lu Jingyan didn't respond to Qin Li at all, but instead said: "Your research should also be quite difficult, right?"
Ji Chu Han bit her lip and replied without much thought, "I also have a condition, that is, I want to be Master Lu's direct disciple!"
Lu's family, the real top-notch medical skills are with Old Man Lu, and the only one who can really save Pei Si Chen is also Old Man Lu.
Lu Jingyan slightly furrowed his brow, "My dad is picky about accepting disciples, I don't have the authority to decide, but there's an assessment in three days, you can prepare for it."
The old man is indeed looking for a successor to inherit his medical skills, and he has very high requirements for talent. Ji Chuheng can create the Yan Luo San Kuang Men, which is not bad, but character is also an important consideration for a doctor, and his father's dislike of the Ji family is even more so than his own.
It's all up to fate!
Ji Chun Huan was sent away properly this time, which is a world of difference from the previous ceremony.
Qin Li's mood was terrible. "Have you really thought this through?" Giving up the Ji family and joining the Lu family, what's the difference between that and abandoning his family's honor?
As a member of a prominent family, Qin Li understood this as well.
But what Ji Chunhuan thought of was two great benefits: one was to inherit Lu Laojiu's top-notch medical skills, and the other was to inherit his connections.
Lu Laojiu's patients were all high-ranking officials, and they were among the top tier.
Lao Lu is already in his sixties, and he can only live for a few more years. Even if he lives to be eighty and can still practice medicine, his energy will not be able to keep up. His legacy, including these noble titles, should naturally be passed on to her.
She clearly knew what Lu Jingyan meant by setting a limit of ten years.
It's impossible to force her into the Lu family as the heir of this season, but ten years is a sacrifice that the Ji family can afford.
But in these ten years, if the Lu family couldn't cultivate a genius to rival her, the Lu family would eventually be trampled by the Ji family.
It's really sad to think about it, the Lu family has no one to inherit their legacy, and they are doomed to decline.
And later on, in the Chinese medical community, she is absolutely authoritative!
Ji Chuohan's mouth corners uncontrollably hooked up, but when she saw Qin Li, she pressed it down again.
This expression fell into Qin Li's eyes and became a forced smile, "Miss Ji, you actually don't have to..."
"At the beginning of the season, Han Lu revealed a melancholic expression: 'For Si Chen, I am willing to do anything. Moreover, being able to master more top-notch medical skills will also allow me to treat his illness better in the future. Who knows, maybe I can even research and develop a cure for him myself.'"
Pei Sichen has a congenital defect that no one can cure well. It is said that the only one who can cure him is the Ghost Doctor.
But that's just hearsay, the ghost doctor has long been a legend in people's minds, and even if he is found, he may not necessarily have this ability.
"Besides..." Ji Chu Han's smile became more sincere, "If I can get Old Man Lu to take me in as a disciple, then wouldn't it be easy for him to cure Si Zheng's illness?"
Qin Li thought it made sense, and the idea of persuading him was blocked. In order to cure Lord Pei, someone would have to make a sacrifice. And Ji Chuheng was willing to give up his identity as the heir of the Ji family, at the cost of being a dependent for ten years, in exchange for Lord Pei's safety. This kindness, he remembered.
"Miss Ji, from today on, you are my benefactor! In the future, if you have any matters, I, Qin Li, will do everything in my power to help you!"
Ji Chu Han nodded slightly, feeling very pleased and relieved that she had gained the recognition of Pei Si Chen's subordinates, making her sacrifice worthwhile.
