"Nan Yu is indeed my younger sister!"
The words exploded into Li Xue’s ears, turning her tears into laughter imdiately.
"Zhuo Yuan, after searching for so many years, we’ve finally found her. I’ll go find Nan Yu as soon as daylight breaks, not even waiting for your return, and bring her ho to see our parents."
A smile filled Nan Zhuoyuan’s face too, but a flicker of hesitation still passed through his eyes.
"It’s better if we wait for my return. With Zheng Ling’s report, even if we don’t bring Nan Yu back, our parents will believe its authenticity."
"Besides, if Nan Luzhi notices sothing amiss and makes a move against Nan Yu, I won’t be in City A and you might not be able to stop it imdiately," he added.
After a few seconds of silence, he continued, "Let’s do this, have Lichuan secretly protect her for now. When I get back, we’ll take her ho ourselves and expose the whole thing, leaving them no room to maneuver."
Li Xue agreed, "Okay, I’ll do as you say."

Nan Yu stayed in the old house for the night. The next morning, she happened to run into Li Chongbai who ca to give Chi Ying a follow-up dical examination.
Seeing Nan Yu there, Li Chongbai greeted her proactively.
"Xiao Yu, how’s your recovery going?"
Nan Yu smiled and replied, "I’m almost better now; there’s no problem."
Li Chongbai was relieved, "That’s good to hear."
He added, "The old lady’s health has been improving under your treatnt as well."
Chi Ying nodded in agreent, "Thanks to Xiao Yu, I don’t have headaches anymore, and it feels like a complete recovery isn’t far off."
Li Chongbai closed up his dicine box and nodded along.
Nan Yu chuckled softly, "Grandma, give it another two months and you’ll never have to suffer from headaches again."
Chi Ying believed in her completely, "Xiao Yu, you have worked hard."
Nan Yu’s eyes curved into a smile, "I haven’t worked hard."
Li Chongbai looked at Nan Yu and asked, "Xiao Yu, do you have so ti recently?"
At these words, Nan Yu turned to him curiously, "Uncle Li, what is it?"
Li Chongbai explained, "The day after tomorrow, there’s a highly skilled practitioner of Traditional Chinese dicine returning from abroad to join the Traditional Chinese dicine Association and beco the vice president. There will be a grand welcoming ceremony."
"That welcoming banquet also has another important purpose, to recomnd so outstanding practitioners of Traditional Chinese dicine to join the Association. I would like to recomnd you," he said.
Upon hearing this, Nan Yu’s first instinct was to decline, then she rembered the words "from abroad" and pursed her lips thoughtfully.
Seeing her hesitate, Li Chongbai thought she was concerned about the rules set by her master, and he quickly said, "Xiao Yu, if it’s inconvenient for you to join the Traditional Chinese dicine Association, then don’t."
"But I hope you can attend the banquet. After all, many TCM greats will be there to exchange dical skills, and it could be beneficial for networking."
Nan Yu’s crisp voice rang out.
"Uncle Li, who is the vice president coming from abroad?"
Li Chongbai said, "I’m not clear on the specifics, but I know it is a TCM practitioner with the surna Gu. In the past two years overseas, she has healed countless terminal cases. People say her dical skills co from the sa lineage as the Ghost Doctor. It’s a widely held belief both dostically and internationally that she is the Ghost Doctor who disappeared without a trace."
Nan Yu’s gaze sharpened instantly, "Uncle Li, I want to attend this banquet."
Li Chongbai was overjoyed and imdiately took out the invitation, "Here you go. It’s the evening after tomorrow; I’ll co pick you up to go together."
Accepting the invitation, Nan Yu noted down the ti and place.
"Uncle Li, I’ll go by myself. I don’t want to join the Traditional Chinese dicine Association just yet; I just want to et this ’Ghost Doctor.’"
Upon hearing this, Li Chongbai expressed surprise, "You want to et the Ghost Doctor?"
Nan Yu nodded, "Yes, I want to et her."
