Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1568 - 700: Succession (Part 2)

Fishing and fish, after all, are not the same.

With Ding Hui’s approval, the two old men happily entered the room. Looking at the newest antidote, they were amazed yet reverent, scratching their heads as if they had a thousand questions to ask, but didn’t dare to speak.

Only when Ding Hui began instructing them to start working did they excitedly follow orders, secretly learning and comprehending from practice as before.

After all, if Ding Hui didn’t speak, even if they wanted to ask, they wouldn’t extract any information. Ding Hui’s attitude towards them was colder than an iceberg; or rather, Ding Hui’s attitude towards anyone was generally cold and indifferent, except...

They quietly glanced at the fool standing over there, unable to identify even half of the herbs.

"I wonder what Lord Ding Hui sees in this guy..."

Silently pondering, they didn’t dare to let it show, diligently seeming eager to imprint the detoxification process into their minds, using all the knowledge they’ve acquired over a lifetime to theoretically deduce each step with all their might.

While the two old men were fully engaged, Fang Yu was also preparing for this morning’s martial arts training.

As the chief instructor of the Nanyuan family, he couldn’t miss his first day on the job.

"Make sure to return later, I have prepared the detoxification potion, and then you can deliver it to Song Zhenrong."

This was a promise made to Song Zhenrong yesterday to deliver the medicine.

Ding Hui was already conducting experiments directly in the Nanyuan family, so there was no need to make a special trip outside.

With Da Liang City’s people causing trouble twice, Fang Yu was slightly worried about Ding Hui’s safety, preferring him to stay with the Nanyuan family.

Before the two of them left, the Nanyuan family and they were in the same boat, still worthy of trust.

After Fang Yu agreed, he made his way to the Nanyuan family’s Martial Arts Training Ground.

Ding Hui watched Fang Yu’s departing figure until it could no longer be seen within sight, then withdrew her gaze.

She glanced coldly at the two small old men sneaking a peek this way.

"What are you looking at! Have you handled the medicinal materials as instructed?!"

Though the two old men were older, they were intimidated by Ding Hui, quickly bowing their heads and quietly continuing to handle the medicinal materials.

Ding Hui approached a workbench and carefully opened a box on it.

Inside the box lay a frail creature, surprisingly... Song Zhenrong’s sister, Song Xi!

Compared to when she left Thunder City, Song Xi seemed even more weakened. If Da Liang City’s people were here again, they’d surely notice that Song Xi’s weakened state resembled the organ shrinkage in the later stage of Water Poison illness!

"Don’t be afraid... With my husband’s strength and my medical skill, you’ll become... quite different!"

Ding Hui gently stroked the tumor, her eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.

The tumor, though extremely weak, displayed strong trembling and contracting reactions of fear as soon as Ding Hui’s fingers touched it.

...

Nanyuan family’s Martial Arts Training Ground.

Though dawn had just arrived, the Martial Arts Training Ground was already crowded with people.

Some of these people were even house servants, but in the relatively open-minded Nanyuan family, they had the opportunity to train alongside others.

Though they needed to fiercely compete and struggle to earn such precious spots, it still provided a chance for the lower ranks to advance, preventing them from being suppressed without prospects their whole lives within the family.

At this moment, the ground was packed with people standing in rows; although there was a line of wooden stakes and iron posts beside them, no one was practicing.

That’s because several assistant instructors, and even Mr. Nanyuan En, and the Hospital Protection Team Captain, Shi Ran, were also present at the Martial Arts Training Ground.

The assistant instructors could be seen daily, rotating, so they weren’t that significant.

But Mr. Nanyuan En and Captain Shi Ran were rare visitors among rare visitors.

"Why has Mr. Nanyuan En come to the Martial Arts Training Ground? Don’t they have a designated training area..."

"Your news is outdated! I heard a new Guest Elder joined and displaced Lord Wujiang’s chief instructor position; Mr. En and Lord Shi Ran are probably here for this chief instructor."

"What?! Isn’t Lord Wujiang no longer the chief instructor? What background does this new Guest Elder have to have such influence!"

"I don’t know, but today is the first appearance of this mysterious Guest Elder as chief instructor. It’s said new officials burn three fires; let’s not step on his bad side or rush headlong into trouble."

"Indeed, indeed!"

As the conversation died down, an authoritative gaze swept across, causing the noise to lower and fall silent.

Nanyuan Wujiang was satisfied to retract his gaze and then slightly saluted Mr. Nanyuan En.

"Mr. En, that Guest Elder has quite the pomp; it’s very late and they haven’t appeared yet. If it’s any later, they’ll miss the morning practice window."

Nanyuan Wujiang seemed to speak on behalf of Mr. En but was discreetly belittling the new chief instructor.

Suddenly being pushed down and losing his position, naturally, Nanyuan Wujiang felt resentment; but to survive in the Nanyuan family, one needs tact and thus dared not easily reveal emotions.

However, Mr. En saw through his little ploy.

Mr. En glanced at Nanyuan Wujiang and said calmly.

"Perhaps it’s the chief instructor’s first day, not yet accustomed to the schedule; let’s wait a bit."

Mr. En emphasized the term chief instructor, causing Nanyuan Wujiang to suppress a slight panic and nervously lower his head, expressing submission.

Nanyuan Wujiang initially thought that the parachuting chief instructor was merely the family head’s intention. Now, it seems... many of the Nanyuan family’s higher-ups are quite pleased with this outsider Guest Elder.

Given the situation, talking negatively would be self-destructive.

Thus, Nanyuan Wujiang promptly clarified his position.

"Yes, yes! Mr. En is right! It’s my rashness..."

Nanyuan Shi Ran also swept his gaze over to this side.

Although he said nothing, Nanyuan Wujiang perceived the hints from his eyes.

Despite the bandages and sling, Nanyuan Shi Ran’s standing in the Nanyuan family is emphatic!

With him being the eldest son of Elder Nanyuan Rong, barely anyone in the entire Nanyuan family would dare provoke him.

While Nanyuan Wujiang pondered about the likelihood of reclaiming the chief instructor position, both Mr. En and Nanyuan Shi Ran visibly softened into smiles, almost simultaneously focusing on a particular direction.

Nanyuan Wujiang turned to look.

A young man in white was briskly stepping this way.

Judging merely by appearance, there wasn’t anything remarkably special about this youth.

Yet from the gathered information, this wasn’t merely a youth; he was... an elder!

"Former chief instructor of the Nanyuan family, now one of the assistant instructors, Nanyuan Wujiang pays respects to Master Diao!!"

Wise is the one who knows the times.

Nanyuan Wujiang declared loudly before everyone had a chance to react!

With him leading, the others quickly followed suit.

"Respect to the chief instructor!"

"Respect to the chief instructor, sir!"

For most present, who the chief instructor was was actually irrelevant.

Throughout the year, they rarely encountered the chief instructor; it was the assistant instructors who truly guided them, and not one-on-one, but rather in large groups—how much one learned depended largely on individual comprehension and personal relationships.

Therefore, a change in chief instructor wouldn’t greatly affect most; it was only those closely affiliated with Nanyuan Wujiang who resented the new chief instructor.

Since even Nanyuan Wujiang himself submitted to the new chief instructor, those lackeys dared not show dissatisfaction.

As Fang Yu stood firm, everyone’s gaze centered on him.
