The braised pork knuckle is ready, it smells so good!

Su Ruan wanted to ask Grandma Zhou if she remembered the soul that had lived in her body for three years.

But in the end, I held back.

Judging from the way everyone around her treated her, she was never accepted.

The originally planned trip was cancelled.

Her mother had not contacted her for three years.

During winter and summer vacations, she didn't want to go back, and no one forced her to.

In the end, that soul landed itself in jail, and no one stood up for it.

After all, those were Su Ruan's relatives.

That soul was merely an intruder that had taken over her body.

Her family longs for her return, just like they are now.

If someone secretly remembers that soul in their heart, then let them remember it quietly.

She wouldn't see it as betrayal.

After finishing the braised pork knuckle, Grandma Zhou smiled and said she had a surprise for her.

Su Ruan followed Grandma Zhou out the door with a look of anticipation on her face.

But they discovered that the door diagonally opposite was open.

Grandma Li!

That is, her master has returned.

"Grandma Li only comes occasionally during summer and winter vacations, why is she here this time of year?"

Grandma Zhou said with a smile, "It's just that the medicinal herbs are ripe and it's time to harvest them."

Su Ruan blinked.

Indeed, when Grandma Zhou came back last time, she said that it was time to harvest the medicinal herbs and that Grandma Li should be back soon.

Su Ruan then realized that the large patches of medicinal herbs that had previously covered the back mountain had disappeared, leaving only sun-baked, white soil.

She ran across the road as fast as she could.

We arrived at that courtyard, both strange and familiar.

The two pomelo trees in the yard are big and fragrant, and they look ripe.

She raised her head, found the biggest one she could pick, and twisted it off with force.

Then, holding the pomelo in his palm, he knocked on the slightly ajar door.

With a creak, the door opened.

Grandma Li's face, which had only appeared in Su Ruan's memories, appeared vividly before her eyes.

"Grandma Li, why do you have so many white hairs?"

Grandma Li looks much older than before.

In her memory, she only had a few white hairs, but now she only has a few black hairs left.

Li Shuqing smiled nonchalantly.

"As people get older, their hair naturally turns white."

"But you're so thin, you look like you could be blown away by the wind."

Su Ruan chuckled.

She is not good with words, but she can smile.

"You!"

Li Shuqing looked helpless and let Su Ruan in.

"Come in quickly, it's cool outside."

Su Ruan carried the pomelo into the house.

She said casually, "This year at school, I met a senior who was studying medicine. Everyone says he's a descendant of a legendary healer, but he said he's my senior brother. Grandma Li, isn't that strange?"

Li Shuqing chuckled, "You little rascal, you're just like you were when you were little, so mischievous and clever."

Su Ruan chuckled.

She didn't know if it was a spirit or not, but she wasn't that stupid.

Li Shuqing's expression suddenly turned serious.

"What, you want to become my apprentice?"

Su Ruan held up a pomelo in her hand, "If you don't mind that this pomelo was picked in the yard, then this apprenticeship ceremony will be complete."

Li Shuqing's serious expression instantly vanished.

"You little rascal!"

"It's fine if you don't want to accept it. Anyway, everyone outside knows that I'm my senior brother's junior sister. As for whether it will damage your reputation, I don't know."

Li Shuqing was both amused and exasperated.

"So, I can't just refuse to take you as my apprentice?"

No, that's not the case.

Su Ruan chuckled and poked a hole in the pomelo in her hand.

Peel the pomelo apart little by little.

"Hmm, this pomelo should be very sweet."

Li Shuqing: I want to turn around and leave.

The girl she taught before wasn't this lively.

Back then, I was well-behaved and didn't talk much. I would read books when asked to and identify medicinal herbs when asked to.

Later on, things got a bit more lively, like picking fruit or gathering flowers.

Hmm, he hasn't changed his habit of grabbing her pomelos as soon as he arrives.

She had seen that girl from afar before, and she knew at a glance that the person in the body had been replaced.

But the one in front of her was none other than the obedient little apprentice she had taught before.

"Master, have a pomelo!"

A piece of sweet and fragrant pomelo was offered to my lips.

The grapefruit smelled so enticing, it smelled so juicy.

She couldn't resist taking a bite.

"You naughty girl!"

"That's Master's naughty girl too."

Li Shuqing did not refute.

She hadn't initially considered taking this girl as her apprentice, but the girl's comprehension was exceptional, and her memory was outstanding—she was the perfect fit.

Oh well, it's all fate.

"To be honest, your master didn't teach you anything."

At most, I lent her some medical books, taught her to identify medicinal herbs, and took her to have her pulse checked a few times.

The Nine Needles for Rejuvenation were all pieced together by this girl herself from various ancient books.

After verifying it, she simply told her how to perform the acupuncture technique.

Su Ruan still chuckled, "Master has already taught me a lot, and Master knows that I'm very lazy."

"As for inheriting your mantle, your senior brother is enough. Your disciple only wants to play a supporting role."

Li Shuqing smiled helplessly, "You!"

This girl is great in every way, except that she's just too talented.

Being so good that it's a waste of talent to simply specialize in one thing.

Li Shuqing also knew that Su Ruanzhi was not here.

Studying medicine was merely a hobby she pursued during her holidays.

"Fine, whatever you want."

Anyway, she already has an apprentice.

Although Wen Yubai's talent is not as good as Su Ruan's, it is still top-notch. Most importantly, he is down-to-earth and has devoted all his efforts to medical skills since childhood.

After confirming her status as the disciple of the divine doctor, Su Ruan was even happier.

From now on, she will be openly protected by her master's lineage.

Just thinking about those hidden tycoons in Northeast China makes Su Ruan's mouth water.

Li Shuqing: You're being narrow-minded. As a renowned doctor with decades of experience, how could he only have connections in Northeast China!

"Oh, Junior Sister's here?"

Wen Yubai strode in with his long legs.

A pair of narrow eyes, with slightly upturned corners.

I don't know what I did just now, my hands are still a little damp from washing them.

Su Ruan's eyes widened. "Senior brother, what are you doing here?"

Wen Yubai smiled slightly, revealing one corner of his mouth.

"Why can't I be here? This is your master, and also my master."

Su Ruan suddenly realized that she was speechless.

But why has Wen Yubai never appeared in her memory?

"Senior brother, is this your first time here?"

She's like a curious baby full of a thirst for exploration.

The smile on Wen Yubai's lips suddenly vanished.

"What? It's not working?"

"That's not necessarily a bad thing," Su Ruan said with a smile. "It's just a bit surprising that Senior Brother isn't so favored."

Wen Yubai's face turned completely black.

Is my junior sister really this sharp-tongued in private?

Does Lu Yanci know?

"By the way, Xiaobai, I asked you to tidy up the ancient books in the study. Are you done?"

Li Shuqing's question promptly changed the subject.

"not yet."

"noob?"

Su Ruan's eyes lit up again.

"noob?"

"Senior Brother Xiaobai?"

Wen Yubai: He regretted coming over.

Her master wouldn't disown her.
