Chapter 621: Chapter 622: The Truth Revealed 18
Gu Nianyang slightly curved her lips but said nothing. Shi Nuan continued, "The key is that Old Yu has a powerful backing. If you become his closed-door disciple, with Old Yuâs reputation, who would dare look down on your traditional Chinese medicine in the future?"
Gu Nianyang pressed her lips together, "Nuannuan, thank you for considering it for me, but I donât plan to take a master. I donât need to rely on someone elseâs connections to gain respect.
I want to promote traditional Chinese medicine through my own efforts. As for those secret formulas, Iâm not particularly interested..."
"Youâre so stubborn." Shi Nuan looked at her with a face full of regret, just about to scold Gu Nianyang a little.
Coming towards them was a captivating girl, her features delicate and sharp, like a rose carved from stone.
She walked straight up to Gu Nianyang and knocked on her table, "Hey, are you Gu Nianyang?"
Not here with good intentions?
Gu Nianyang raised an eyebrow, "Whatâs the matter?"
The girl arrogantly said, "Iâm Guan Xue. I just transferred from the Second Medical University today."
Just after the class ended, not all the students had left. Upon hearing the name Guan Xue, many gasped in surprise.
"Is she Guan Xue? Which Guan Xue, surely not that Guan Xue!"
"You mean Guan Xue, the daughter of the president of Hua Countryâs Traditional Chinese Medicine Association?"
"Sheâs so pretty. I heard her medical skills are exceptional, the top traditional Chinese medicine beauty at Second Medical University. Whyâd she transfer to our school?"
"Well, isnât it because of Old Yu? She probably came specifically to become Old Yuâs closed-door disciple!"
Guan Xue, hearing the chatter around her, smiled more arrogantly,
"I believe you know my background now. I heard youâre the best in traditional Chinese medicine at the First Medical University, so Iâm here to challenge you!"
"What challenge?" Gu Nianyang met Guan Xueâs eyes without any hint of fear.
She definitely knows her stuff!
Guan Xue said decisively, "Old Yu will soon come to our class to select a closed-door disciple. Thereâs only one spot. The others donât interest me; I guess only you barely match up to me. So Iâm here to tell you that this spot is mine. If you know whatâs good for you, you can withdraw yourself. If not, then weâll have to compete, but I suppose no oneâs medical skills can surpass mine, so youâre sure to lose!"
Gu Nianyang looked at Guan Xueâs smug expression and couldnât help but find it hilarious. This girl must be very confident, bragging like sheâs the best in the world.
Gu Nianyang smiled faintly, "Classmate Guan, thereâs no need for so much nonsense. I never intended to become Old Yuâs closed-door disciple. I think youâve got the wrong person. Kindly take a left turn at the door and donât disturb my studies!"
Guan Xueâs face turned red instantly. She, who had always had things go her way, was brushed off for the first time, and with so many people around!
Guan Xue thought this Gu Nianyang really didnât know her place, but there was nothing she could do about it except snort coldly,
"Consider yourself wise. Even if you were intending to compete, you wouldnât stand a chance against me!"
With that, she left, and Shi Nuan was speechless, "Wow, how could there be someone so odd?"
Gu Nianyang spread her hands, "Some people grow up being pampered and think highly of themselves. Confidence is also a virtue."
Shi Nuan burst into laughter, "But what you just said was really strong. Look, Guan Xueâs face turned red. I bet she felt you didnât follow her script and argue intensely with her!"
