Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

His body even began to tremble uncontrollably.

"You guys talk, I'll go to Lungmen first and find a bank that has a partnership with Rhodes Island to pay off the debt."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yan rushed out of the clinic.

Seeing Qi Yan's impatience, the Grand Tutor's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that something was seriously wrong.

Seeing that Qi Yan left without even closing the door, Lao Li looked at the Grand Tutor and asked in confusion:

"The scene of Huai Tianpei and Qi Yan gazing deeply into each other's eyes was indeed disgusting, but why did the Grand Tutor react so strongly? I almost suspected that you were possessed by Miss Qi Lin."

When the Grand Tutor heard Lao Li mention this, he shuddered, once again recalling the fear of being dominated by unofficial histories.

Scenes, compiled and vividly narrated by Qi Yan, floated into the Grand Tutor's mind and lingered for a long time.

"Promise me you won't bring these things up again," the Grand Tutor pleaded.

Old Li grinned, wisely refraining from pressing further, and began to think that if Huai Tianpei joined Rhodes Island, it would be a good thing for him and Huai Hu.

At least now they have a clear target if they want to find Huai Tianpei in the future.

Just then, a distinguished figure walked in through the wide-open door of the clinic.

"I think I just saw Qi Yan run away in a hurry, clutching something tightly in her hand. Could something have happened again?"

Chongyue went inside and greeted the three of them.

After the three returned the greetings, the Grand Tutor explained with a wry smile:

"Grandmaster, there's no need to worry. It was just some fun. It's just that I'm afraid I'll go bankrupt... But let's leave that aside for now. Did your trip out of the city to pay respects to your deceased friend go smoothly?"

Chongyue smiled politely: "It's inevitable to feel a little sentimental, but that little girl named Jieyun has resolved her inner conflict, and I see a trace of an old friend in her."

I believe Jieyun will definitely inherit her master's will and pass it down from generation to generation. The path of young people holds limitless possibilities.

The Grand Tutor's agreement seemed somewhat unconvincing.

As someone who had been informed by Qi Yan's drama, he was well aware of the crisis facing this land.

If we can't get through this, let alone passing on the will of the older generation from generation to generation, it's questionable whether young people can even continue to exist.

He then recalled Qi Yan's seemingly enthusiastic words, which were actually a warning to him.

"This trip to Ursus is going to be quite a spectacle," the Grand Tutor said, seemingly to himself. "No wonder Qi Yan was so generous in lending me the mirror; he's asking me to help the Doctor overturn the table at the drop of a hat."

Chapter 930 Old Carp: Everyone get to the island, don't leave a single one behind!

The other three people in the clinic tacitly avoided responding to the Grand Tutor's words.

Even Huai Tianpei kept quiet and packed the medicinal herbs, afraid that talking too much would cause him to get involved in some messy things that would affect his recovery and his challenge against the Grandmaster.

The Grand Tutor reached out and took the calming medicine, paying no attention to the silence of the three men. He put his hands behind his back, picked up the medicine bag, and walked outside.

He also has very important things to do.

"I need to hurry up and mention my credit card to Wei Yanwu. He's quick-witted; he'll know what to do as soon as I mention it."

The Grand Tutor's tone even carried a hint of viciousness: "If he doesn't react in time, don't blame me for being ruthless as his teacher!"

Chongyue and the other two: "..."

After watching the Grand Tutor leave, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Huai Tianpei casually tossed a medicine packet to Lao Li, reverting to his absent-minded state, and muttered:

"I've heard of the Grand Tutor too. Everyone says he's a great man who mends the world and is full of majesty, but after getting to know him, I found that his personality is quite... approachable."

Chongyue smiled and guessed:

"The Grand Tutor is usually quite dignified, but perhaps he is happy because he recently won a great victory."

"Come on, it was all Qi Yan's doing." Old Li revealed the truth in one sentence, "The Grand Tutor used to have to stand in front of all difficulties, and no one could be lively under that kind of pressure."

But now Qi Yan has come. Although Qi Yan is a troublemaker and often causes chaos, he has a magical ability to smooth things over. With less pressure, people naturally feel more relaxed.

Chongyue pondered for a moment, then smiled with relief.

He didn't have much direct contact with Qi Yan, but he could indeed sense the situation Lao Li described from his three younger sisters.

Even his second brother, who used to give him some headaches, has changed quite a bit in temperament.

Chongyue sighed, "Meeting Qi Yan is truly a great blessing in life. In the past few days, because of Qi Yan, I have also developed some interest in the organization called Rhodes Island."

After stepping down, I plan to see the magnificent landscape of our Great Yan Dynasty. If I have the chance later, I'd really like to visit Rhodes Island.

“Grandmaster, this isn’t a question of whether you want to go or not,” Old Carp said with a smile. “You can’t escape even if you don’t want to go. When Wang broke free from the possessed state, he reminded me that the sword that you find a bit troublesome is safer to be entrusted to Rhodes Island than to anyone else.”

Chongyue raised an eyebrow, clearly having taken this seriously.

Then he looked at Huai Tianpei, cupped his hands, and said:

"How is Mr. Huai's injury?"

"Thank you for your concern. It won't take too long." Huai Tianpei was full of fighting spirit. "After you officially step down, it will be time for us to have a good fight."

Chongyue carefully examined Huai Tianpei's injuries for a few moments, then shook his head and said:

"No, the Mirror Beast's attack was completely unrestrained and has already damaged your foundation. You must not make a move lightly in the short term."

"But……"

"OK OK!"

Before Huai Tianpei could make a move, Lao Li interrupted, "I'll say it again: you've waited this long, what's the difference now?"

"Huai Tianpei, Qi Yan just told you to go to Rhodes Island to study under a master. What are your thoughts on that?"

"Of course I'll go! He's a master even Qi Yan acknowledges!" Huai Tianpei answered without hesitation.

Old Carp clapped his hands and said with a smile:

"If you're going to Rhodes Island, the Grandmaster will also deliver the sword to Rhodes Island and pay a visit. Rhodes Island is a medical organization that can help you recover from your injuries."

If you ask me, wouldn't it be better to hold the sparring session at Rhodes Island? Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?

Huai Tianpei and Chong Yue exchanged a glance and realized that what Lao Li said made sense.

“Then, we’ll meet again on Rhodes Island in the future!” Chongyue said, cupping his fists to Huai Tianpei.

"I will make the most of my time to train diligently on Rhodes Island, and wait for the Grandmaster in my best form." Huai Tianpei returned the greeting with clasped hands.

Old Carp, meanwhile, was secretly plotting something.

After graduating from university, Huaihu should find a proper company for an internship. Given his current relationship with Qi Yan, there would be absolutely no obstacle in sending Huaihu to Rhodes Island for an internship.

The three of them imagined their own bright futures and smiled in unison.

On the streets of Yumen, a beautiful figure paused outside a teahouse.

The teahouse was packed, with every seat filled. There was even a group of people standing outside who couldn't get seats, listening to the storyteller recount the battle from a few days ago.

A gentle breeze ruffled Qiu Bai's hair. She casually tucked a stray strand behind her ear and watched as the storyteller, using technology, played a video of the battle and recounted the events with dramatic intonation.

Among them, compared to masters like Qi Yan, Zuo Xuanliao, and Wei Yanwu, these people were all somewhat famous, so the audience was amazed but not surprised.

The storyteller, of course, understood the reasoning behind this, and deliberately added a lot of drama to the figure that was somewhat unfamiliar to the audience.

"Speaking of this old carp, he was truly a master, capable of saving a collapsing edifice and rescuing people from dire straits. He stepped forward in times of crisis to suppress the ferocious beast..."

Whenever the storyteller gets to the exciting part, he always manages to elicit cheers and applause.

Qiu Bai listened for a moment, found it amusing to himself, shook his head, and turned to leave.

She actually knew some of the inside story and knew that although Lao Li was a highly skilled person, he was definitely not that skilled. Her performance in that battle must have been due to someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.

However, Qiu Bai had no time to clear up these misunderstandings; at the moment, she hadn't even been able to resolve her own troubles.

As Qiu Bai walked down the street, lost in thought, he was suddenly stopped by a passerby.

"Miss Qiu, may I trouble you for a little while?" the middle-aged man asked shyly, rubbing his hands together.

"Isn't it because the Grandmaster is about to step down?" the middle-aged man said with a simple smile. "The people of Yumen remember the kindness of the Grandmaster in guarding Yumen for many years, so we have gathered together to present a small gift to the Grandmaster as he steps down."

"We've studied this for a long time, but we have absolutely no idea what the Grandmaster's preferences are. Miss Qiu, you are a disciple of the Grandmaster, could you perhaps offer us some guidance?"

Now Qiu Bai was in a bit of a predicament.

Although she had been practicing martial arts with Chongyue, Chongyue's daily life was so simple that it was even a bit boring. Even she, who was close to him, could not tell him about his personal preferences.

Because of her obsession, she didn't pay attention to these things on a daily basis; all she could think about was avenging her father after she succeeded in learning martial arts.

But when someone suddenly asked her a question, she felt as if she had been jolted awake.

It turns out that she has been by Chongyue's side for so long that she has become one of the people closest to him.

"Perhaps... the most important thing about a gift is the sentiment behind it; a grandmaster wouldn't care what the gift itself is," Qiu Bai said vaguely.

"That's true, that's true."

The middle-aged man patted his head, realizing the logic in the words, thanked him, and quickly walked away.

Qiu Bai pursed his lips, his mind heavy as he walked home.

"It's time for daily training."

As she was thinking this, she suddenly paused.

"Just now, my subconscious thought was... going home?"

An indescribable emotion welled up in Qiu Bai's heart, like ink droplets falling into clear water, spreading uncontrollably and overflowing.

When she finally managed to break free from that emotion, she realized that she had unknowingly returned to the gate of Chongyue Mansion.

After forcibly suppressing his emotions, Qiu Bai pushed open the door and walked along the path he could walk with his eyes closed to the training ground, where he got into position to prepare for today's daily training.

But when she was ready, her movements froze as if petrified, and she didn't make the next move for a long time.

Qiu Bai gripped the sword tightly in his hand, but he couldn't find the feeling of drawing it.

Chapter 931 Asking the Sword

Qiu Bai gripped his sword, remaining motionless as if about to draw it.

She should have had this action ingrained in her very being long ago; it shouldn't be an action that requires no thought to perform.

But this time, she couldn't find a reason to draw her sword.

"The Grandmaster is about to step down and leave Yumen."

Qiu Bai's hand trembled slightly.

“He killed my father. I went through many dangers to find Yumen, all for the sake of avenging my father.”

Qiu Bai closed his eyes in pain.

"This is my last chance for revenge."

Qiu Bai gritted his teeth, his muscles tensed, and a layer of fine sweat even appeared on his forehead.

But she just couldn't bring herself to draw her sword.

A soft sigh, like a low sob, escaped from Qiu Bai's lips.

"Father……"

She opened her eyes again and looked at the familiar training ground before her. Every blade of grass and every tree here was already deeply etched into her memory.

But another long-buried memory gradually resurfaced. Those memories had even faded long ago, leaving only vague feelings and eternally clear emotions, intertwined and echoing endlessly in Qiu Bai's mind.

When I was a child, my father would always take a group of uncles out to work, and when they came back, he would buy me lots and lots of toys.

However, the toys were sometimes rather strange, not the type I wanted.

But Qiu Bai can still clearly recall that feeling of joy.

Later, it seemed that my father had encountered some trouble and was always arguing with my mother behind my back.

The father and mother seemed to disagree, but in the end, the mother did not convince the father.

Qiu Bai still remembers the fear she felt when she overheard her parents arguing during that time.

Until that day, Qiu Bai never saw his father return.

All she remembered was a figure leading a large group of armored men, who came by boat and blocked her door, taking her father and uncles away from her life forever.
