Chapter 310: Testing Nan Yan
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Nan Yan was already mentally prepared to face difficulties. However, she didn’t expect that as soon as she met these people in the hall, even before Sun Chan could introduce who they were, she would face hostility.
“You claim to be a disciple of Master Hua. Do you have any proof?”
“Where is Master Hua now? He disappeared for over a decade. Does he still care about the sect?”
“Young lady, the Divine Physician Sect will not fall into your hands. You better give up on that idea unless Master Hua personally comes to vouch for your identity.”
“Without Master Hua’s personal confirmation, we won’t acknowledge your identity.”
Nan Yan’s already somber mood became even less pleasant due to these people’s words.
“Enough!” Sun Chan angrily interrupted their remarks. “What right do you have to question Master Hua’s disciple?”
“The Divine Physician Sect was founded by Master Hua himself and he personally developed it. He’s been away for just over a decade, and you want to claim ownership of the Divine Physician Sect?”
“I’d like to see who among you can bully Master Hua’s disciple today, with me here!”
Sun Chan was infuriated, his forehead pulsing with veins, his face dark and grim.
He anticipated that reclaiming the Divine Physician Sect from these people wouldn’t be easy. However, he never expected them to be so shameless.
The Divine Physician Sect was the result of Hua Shifang’s lifetime dedication.
Previously, they believed Hua Shifang had died, so they took over the Divine Physician Sect to keep it going.
In recent years, the Divine Physician Sect had become an important source of wealth within the sect. Although it wasn’t famous among ordinary people, it was highly sought after among the wealthy and aristocratic. Each consultation charged astronomical fees.
There were even countless rare items, properties, and luxury cars…
Thanks to the Divine Physician Sect, they had lived a life that was the envy of others. Greed had taken root in their hearts, and they were unwilling to hand over this wealth- generating treasure to an outsider they didn’t even know. Seeing Sun Chan’s anger, the senior disciples showed no sign of backing down.
“Master Sun Chan, this decision is from the elders.
“We’re just conveying their decision.”
“If you’re dissatisfied with this decision, you can discuss it with the elders about who should manage the Divine Physician Sect.”
Sun Chan said coldly, “I forgot to tell you all that Nan Yan is not only Master Hua’s disciple, but she is also my disciple. Since Master Hua is not here, I will stand up for our disciple.”
“What belongs to her cannot be taken away. The Divine Physician Sect and Hundred Herb Garden can only be inherited by her!”
Suddenly, Nan Yan understood that Sun Chan must have intended to take her as his disciple. He knew that within the sect, there were people who wanted to seize control of the Divine Physician Sect. Since her master couldn’t come in person to prove her identity, they disregarded her.
She had a low status and was insignificant to them. So, Sun Chan persistently insisted on her becoming his disciple. In doing so, he would have the authority to fight for her right to inherit the Divine Physician Sect and recover her master’s legacy.
“Master Sun Chan, this is going too far. When you accept a disciple, why haven’t any of us been informed? Does she have the qualifications to be your disciple?”
“Master Sun Chan, you should know how important Hundred Herb Garden is to the sect. Are you really entrusting it to a greenhorn?”
It wasn’t just about Hundred Herb Garden’s importance to the sect; it was about how vital it was to the Divine Physician Sect. The Divine Physician Sect relied on traditional Chinese medicine to heal people, but with the influence of environmental changes, the effectiveness of external medicinal herbs had significantly diminished. Only the herbs grown in Hundred Herb Garden could produce the best medicinal effects.
Without these herbs, the renowned physicians of the Divine Physician Sect would be helpless despite their exceptional medical skills.
“My disciple doesn’t need to pass your evaluation. If I say she’s capable, then she’s capable. She has not only inherited Master Hua’s medical skills but also possesses the talent for cultivating medicinal herbs.”
Sun Chan’s resounding voice sent shivers down Nan Yan’s ears.
However, she wasn’t even sure if she had the talent for cultivating medicinal herbs. How could he be so certain?
“Master Sun Chan, it’s not enough for you to say so. Whether she has the ability or not, we need to see it for ourselves.”
“We’re not overly concerned about taking disciples, as long as we agree, but Master, you mustn’t forget that your disciple isn’t just anyone you can take in lightly. Even if we agree, the Elder Council won’t.”
“The Elder Council also mentioned that if they are to acknowledge her, she must demonstrate her abilities.”
Sun Chan was on the verge of losing his temper. Just as he was about to erupt, someone tapped his arm.
Nan Yan calmly said, “Second Master, since they want to test me, then I accept the challenge.”
“After all, they’re worried about handing over the Divine Physician Sect and Hundred Herb Garden to someone who knows nothing and is incapable of upholding the legacy.”
“As long as I prove myself, they’ll be able to entrust the Divine Physician Sect and Hundred Herb Garden to me with confidence, right?”
Others: …
Where did she get the confidence to think she’s qualified to inherit the Divine Physician Sect and Hundred Herb Garden?
Even if she had the ability, they wouldn’t simply let her inherit these two sects.
When Sun Chan heard Nan Yan’s words, his anger instantly dissipated.
“If the elders want to test whether Nan Yan has the ability to take over the Divine Physician Sect and Hundred Herb Garden, then let’s proceed with the test.”
“I didn’t consider this earlier, but it’s better for the elders to decide.’
“Nan Yan, you must accept the test with dedication and not bring shame to your two masters.”
A sly smile curved on Nan Yan’s lips as she crisply replied, “Understood, Master.”
Originally, she had no interest in the Divine Physician Sect and Hundred Herb Garden. She didn’t want to burden herself with two more responsibilities.
But now, she had a change of heart.
She must reclaim what belonged to her masters.
She reluctantly accepted what Second Master had entrusted her with.
“To avoid any bias on my part as your master, let the test topics be decided by you and the elders. Don’t deny it later if my obedient disciple passes the test.”
“It’s enough if you’re shameless once. If you’re shameless again, don’t blame me and my disciple for establishing our own sect and severing ties with you.”
The crowd: ..
This threat was too significant!
Although the sect had numerous businesses and industries, the most profitable one was the Divine Physician Sect.
And the Divine Physician Sect couldn’t operate without Hundred Herb Garden!
Furthermore, within the Divine Physician Sect, there were many exceptional physicians who had been personally taught by Hua Shifang and were very loyal to him. Previously, they believed Hua Shifang had died, which was why they stayed in the Divine Physician Sect to continue treating patients.
If they were to find out that Hua Shifang was still alive and had a new disciple, they might very well choose to leave the sect with Sun Chan!
