From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Doctor Duanmu also shouted, and then said to Mr. Niu, "Brother Niu, please don't be offended, I have spoiled this daughter."

"It's precisely because they get married too early that they die young! Their bodies haven't even fully developed yet, and they have to have children, which is why there are so many cases of two lives lost! Also, from a medical perspective, it's best to have children between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five, when both men and women are at their strongest and most vigorous." Duanmu Ying argued forcefully, speaking with great logic and conviction.

"Haha."

Mr. Niu chuckled twice and said, "Western medicine does have some merit, but I brought this disciple here not to force this marriage."

Doctor Duanmu: "!!!"

He then glanced at Jiang Liu, speechless.

Could it be that they've come to break off the engagement?

in the case of···

Both groups of guests today made him very nervous!

# Chapter 989 Who says a doctor is without scheming?

"You tell me yourself."

Before Physician Duanmu could ask any further questions, Mr. Niu spoke to Prince Zhong, who was still kneeling.

"I...I'm here to annul the engagement!"

The room fell silent upon hearing this.

break off an engagement?

Doctor Duanmu, Master Liu, and the others all turned pale.

This would damage the reputation of the Duanmu family!

“But it’s not that I look down on Miss Duanmu. On the contrary, I have long admired her. It’s just that I know my own limitations and feel that I am not good enough for Miss Duanmu. So I begged my master to bring me here to cancel this engagement.” Wang Zizhong was quite nervous and spoke very quickly, but he enunciated clearly and did not stutter.

Now—

The elders at Jishetang looked much better.

After all, Prince Zhong made it clear that he felt unworthy, so it didn't damage the Duanmu family's reputation.

"Well, not bad, you do have some self-awareness."

Unlike the original story, Duanmu Ying cultivated alongside Jiang Liu, experiencing a wealth of knowledge and even visiting the world of "Xiao Yu's Adventures," where she encountered all sorts of people. Her horizons were truly broadened, and her once impulsive heart became much calmer. She no longer asked Wang Zizhong questions like "What do you admire about me?"

Meaningless.

Having become a true practitioner and having a clear and tangible goal, one naturally wouldn't focus on romantic relationships.

Furthermore,

If one cultivates the Iron Fan and Banana Leaf Technique and perseveres, one will eventually reach the same level as Jiang Liu and refine the Golden Elixir and Holy Embryo. Even if one does not achieve immortality, one will still prolong one's life. Why would one choose a short-lived person?

She has no masochistic tendencies.

"Bastard!"

Upon hearing Duanmu Ying's words, Doctor Duanmu glared at her angrily, then humbly said to Mr. Niu, "Brother Niu, it's not that your disciple is unworthy, but that my daughter's words are so infuriating, she is unworthy!"

Mr. Niu: "..."

Are all people who have received Western knowledge this direct?

"Can I go do my own thing now?"

Duanmu Ying took the opportunity to ask Doctor Duanmu a question.

"Go! Go! Whether it's something or not, don't come back!" Doctor Duanmu was furious.

"Yay!"

Duanmu Ying shouted, "Let's go, Jiang Liu, let's go back to the Confucian Association!"

"Jiang Liu! You are Chairman Jiang of the Confucian Association!" Mr. Niu was shocked, only then realizing why the young man looked familiar.

So I've actually seen it before!

In the newspaper!

"Beautiful women love heroes; it has been so since ancient times..."

Wang Zizhong slowly stood up, chuckled, and stared intently at Jiang Liu, saying, "But! In medical skills, I will absolutely not lose to you!"

This sentence is almost a shout, a statement, yet it also seems to be a declaration of war against the river.

Prince Zhong.

This person is both arrogant and cowardly.

Cowardly—

Feeling unworthy of Duanmu Ying, he took the initiative to ask his master to bring him to annul the engagement.

mad--

He was extremely confident in his medical skills and talent.

If Jiang Liu hadn't been there, this farce of "annulment" would have ended there. However, because Wang Zizhong truly loved Duanmu Ying, seeing Duanmu Ying's enthusiasm for Jiang Liu, and due to his youthful impetuosity, he was momentarily overcome with passion and actually roared at Jiang Liu.

"You damned bastard!"

Mr. Niu glared angrily, placed a hand on Wang Zizhong's shoulder, and with a little force, turned him around so that he was facing Master Liu and Doctor Duanmu. He scolded, "Who told you to stand up?"

With a thud, Wang Zizhong knelt down before Doctor Duanmu and Master Liu once again—Mr. Niu's purpose in making Wang Zizhong kneel down upon his arrival was not just about the marriage.

"I'm sorry, Master, I..."

"Shut up!"

Wang Zizhong tried to explain, but was scolded by Mr. Niu. He then bowed to Jiang Liu and said, "President Jiang, I hope you will be magnanimous. Although my disciple is only a few years younger than you, his temperament is far less mature than yours. Please don't take it to heart."

"I won't take it to heart, but there's something I don't understand."

Jiang Liu stood up and returned the greeting, clasping his hands in a fist and saying, "I saw that you made Brother Zizhong kneel as soon as you arrived... I could understand it at first, after all, if you come to cancel the engagement, you can't lose face for Sister Mu Ying's family if you don't lower your posture. But now that the engagement has been canceled, why is Mr. Niu still making Brother Zizhong kneel?"

You think he offended me just now, and you think it's enough to just ask him to apologize? Why do you have to make him kneel down?

And it was Mr. Duanmu and Mr. Liu who were kneeling?

"..."

The doctors at Jishetang then realized that their gazes toward Mr. Niu were not right.

"To be honest, the reason I brought Zizhong here this time is not only for this marriage, but also because I hope that Jishetang can help me cultivate this child."

to be frank.

After learning about Duanmu Ying's personality from Doctor Duanmu and Master Liu, Mr. Niu was certain that Duanmu Ying would become interested in his precious apprentice.

reason?

As a doctor, I treat patients and save lives, and I have met countless people. I can judge a person's character and preferences by listening to just a few words from them, without even looking at their face.

therefore.

Even when Prince Zhong begged him to annul the engagement, he agreed.

He was certain that Duanmu Ying, with her restless and unruly nature, would definitely come out! And she would definitely have a verbal exchange with Wang Zizhong, thus becoming interested in him.

At that time, he would then ask Master Liu from Jishetang to help train Wang Zizhong, which would be a natural outcome. It was all a calculated move. After seeing that Duanmu Ying did not dislike Wang Zizhong, and with the help of Mr. Niu, Master Liu and Doctor Duanmu would surely go along with it. Everything was understood without saying a word.

As for the marriage?

So what if I cancel my order?

As long as Duanmu Ying develops an interest in Wang Zizhong, and Wang Zizhong stays at Jishetang, they will inevitably fall in love over time.

Back then!

The two could then get engaged and married again, and the Duanmu family's medical skills would have a second heir!

Is Mr. Niu's goal the medical skills of the Duanmu family?

No.

It was not an attempt to seize the Duanmu family's inheritance.

Instead, they wanted to train Wang Zizhong to become a master player!

Wang Zizhong was the most outstanding medical student he had ever met. He would learn about any medical field, from all over China and abroad, and he learned it very quickly.

Such talent—

If he were to teach alone, it would truly be a pity that Zizhong would be misled.

But he brought Wang Zizhong directly to become a disciple, and he couldn’t find a suitable reason—how could one person have two, or even three, masters?

If Wang Zizhong could earn his medical skills through his own abilities without formally becoming an apprentice, that would be ideal; however, he is somewhat timid...

Helpless, Mr. Niu had already decided to plan for Prince Zhong's future once the Duanmu family came to discuss the marriage.

As long as the result is double happiness, that's all that matters!

but!

Plans can't keep up with changes!

Duanmu Ying showed absolutely no interest in Prince Zhong—likely because the information provided by the Duanmu family about Duanmu Ying was incorrect, leading to his misjudgment.

That's fine. As long as we chat for a while longer, make Prince Zhong kneel for a bit longer, and then he, as the master, loses some face and brings up the matter himself, it will be settled.

But he never expected that his disciple would stand up because Duanmu Ying revealed Jiang Liu's identity!

What he didn't expect was that his concern-driven behavior would also arouse Jiang Liu's curiosity!

There's no way around it!

Right now, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and explain the reason—
