Master Yan

"This is Doctor Su. Su Ziyang, a Daoist doctor I invited from Jingchengdao Medical Clinic! He's incredibly skilled; he cured the thing on my shoulder!"

Han Xixi briefly introduced Su Ziyang's identity.

Then he turned to Su Ziyang and smiled, "Doctor Su, this is my elder brother, Han Jinkai, and that is my sister-in-law!"

"Hello, hello!" Han Jinkai smiled and extended his hand to shake hands with Su Ziyang. "I was too focused on what Master Yan was saying just now. I was impolite, please forgive me, Doctor Su! Please have a seat!"

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Su Ziyang waved his hands repeatedly.

"Doctor Su, please have a seat!" With that, Han Jinkai's wife stood up and went off to do something.

Su Ziyang sat on the sofa to the side, facing Master Yan whom Han Jinkai had mentioned, while Han Xixi sat directly next to her older brother.

"Doctor Su, you are a Daoist physician at the Daoist Medicine Clinic. What a coincidence! The Master Yan I invited is also a master of both medicine and Daoism. You should get to know him!"

As Han Jinkai was introducing things, Han Jinkai wife came over with a teacup, placed it in front of Su Ziyang, and poured Su Ziyang some tea.

"Oh! Thank you!"

Su Ziyang quickly clasped his hands in thanks.

"Oh! Since we're in the same profession, may I ask who Doctor Su's teacher was?"

Han Jinkai interpreted Master Yan's words as a simple greeting, as Master Yan appeared outwardly kind and gentle, but Su Ziyang interpreted them differently.

"No sect or school of thought. Just a lowly doctor!"

Su Ziyang picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then said softly.

"Oh! He's just an ordinary nobody?"

As expected, Master Yan's second sentence began to carry a slightly derogatory tone.

"You could say that!"

Su Ziyang showed no emotional reaction to Master Yan's disparaging remarks, simply sipping his tea.

Everyone present noticed that Master Yan was acting strangely. Sensing the change in atmosphere, Han Jinkai stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Hehe, Master Yan. It's really unfortunate that my sister invited a doctor today without informing me beforehand. So, if I've violated any taboos of your sect, please forgive me!"

In fact, Master Yan's criticism was not without reason; one should not seek two masters for one matter.

Especially when it comes to diagnosis, divination, geomancy, and other similar matters, it is considered taboo to have two people come at the same time to solve the problem.

This shows a lack of respect and trust towards both parties.

Master Yan's questioning of Su Ziyang was actually a questioning of Han Jinkai.

"No problem at all! You Elder Tian close friends despite the age difference, and Elder Tian has been kind to me, so I will still take care of your family's affairs. You don't need to worry about that!"

Master Yan isn't the type to hold a grudge, at least that's how it seems now.

Han Jinkai's expression relaxed slightly when he saw that Master Yan wasn't angry.

Han Jinkai explained to Master Yan, but ignored Su Ziyang sitting to the side, which displeased Han Xixi. So, Han Xixi said sarcastically, "Doctor Su, I'm so sorry. I didn't know my brother had invited a master today! I should have invited you tomorrow!"

Han Xixi emphasized the word "master" very much, which made Han Jinkai and Master Yan's expressions slightly unpleasant.

"It's alright, it's alright! I'm just a doctor, I only know how to diagnose illnesses by taking pulses. I don't practice Daoist arts or geomancy, so there's not much conflict with Master Yan, it's not like I'm serving two masters!"

Su Ziyang wasn't a seasoned veteran, but Su Ziyang was taught by three or four old hands who had shared all their knowledge, so he naturally understood the rules.

Su Ziyang explained softly, his words neither humble nor arrogant.

This made Han Jinkai glance at Su Ziyang again.

"Hehe. You do know a thing or two! Kids who study Traditional Chinese Medicine are just different!"

Master Yan directly called Su Ziyang "child," thus demoting Su Ziyang by a generation.

Su Ziyang smiled slightly and said nothing more.

"Master Yan, my sister happens to be here Tianzheng. Could you please take a look at her fortune and tell me what it is like?"

Han Jinkai quickly changed the subject.

"Great! Let's take a look!"

Master Yan gestured for Han Xixi to open her hands so he could examine her palms.

Although Han Xixi was a little unhappy, she still reached out her hand.

Master Yan adjusted his glasses and then gripped the folding fan in his hand.

"If I'm not mistaken, your younger sister is unmarried, highly educated, studied far from home, has an outgoing personality, and possesses exceptional artistic talent!"

After Master Yan finished speaking, he saw the expressions on the brother and sister's faces and knew he had been right. He proudly shook his folding fan twice and took a sip of tea.

Han Xixi, who had initially thought Master Yan was a charlatan, stared at Master Yan in surprise.

Han Jinkai, having more life experience than the others, didn't show it too obviously; he only showed a momentary surprise before quickly regaining his composure. "Master Yan is absolutely right. May I ask, Master Yan, what is my sister's marital status? And how will her work be in the next few years?"

"Wait a minute, let me see!"

This time, Master Yan did not ask for palm reading or anything else; he simply closed his eyes gently.

Su Ziyang stared at Master Yan with great interest, focusing his Yunqi to see what was so strange about Master Yan.

Su Ziyang saw it clearly: when Master Yan closed his eyes for a minute, his aura suddenly changed. A strange aura began to swirl around Master Yan, and after swirling for about a minute, it quickly dissipated.

No one spoke, afraid of disturbing Master Yan. After about a minute, Master Yan slowly opened his eyes and said, "Your sister is exceptionally talented. Within three years, she will surely make a name for herself in her field. As for marriage! In the next year or two, I see your lucky star shining brightly!"

"Very good! Thank you for your guidance Master Yan!"

When Han Jinkai heard about his sister's job, he didn't show much joy. But when he heard that his sister might get married within a year, he laughed heartily.

This shows that Han Jinkai truly loves his younger sister.

"Thank you, Master Yan!"

Han Xixi heard only kind words and was very happy, thanking them repeatedly.

"Master Yan, we've been chatting for a while now. Please come upstairs with me and take a look at my daughter! Besides the feng shui adjustments you mentioned, do you think she needs any further treatment from you?"

Hearing Han Jinkai say this, Su Ziyang realized that Master Yan must have arrived a little earlier than him, but definitely not for very long.

"Alright! Let's get straight to the point and go take a look at your daughter's room." Master Yan stood up first.

Then Han Jinkai and Han Jinkai wife also got up and went upstairs.

Han Jinkai didn't greet Su Ziyang, but Han Xixi went to Su Ziyang's side after her brother left first.
