After signing the contract, they wouldn’t have a chance to back out even if they wanted to.

On the other hand, Feng Zhengzhi believed in Ji Yunmiao and thought that signing a contract was a good idea. This way, even if Hua Shifang returned, he wouldn’t have the authority to take back the Divine Physician Sect from them.

Both sides had their own plans, and they quickly signed the contract.

Nan Yan kept one copy for herself, and the other copy was taken by Feng Zhengzhi and his group.

“Second Master, let’s go,” Nan Yan said. She had no patience to stay in this place any longer.

Since Sun Chan’s expression hadn’t improved since their arrival, he didn’t hesitate to walk away when Nan Yan suggested leaving.

Ji Yunmiao stared at the backs of the two as they left, her eyes filled with resentment. After this competition, no one would dare to underestimate her again. She didn’t need to be a Divine Physician’s disciple; all she needed was to crush the other disciples.

Upon returning to their sect, Sun Chan’s mood remained gloomy, and he had no intention of going back to the Hundred Herb Garden. It wasn’t until they were in the carriage that his expression eased a bit.

He spoke with a solemn tone, “Yanyan, you don’t need to go back to the Hundred Herb Garden for the next two days. Rest well and prepare yourself for the upcoming competition and challenges.”

Nan Yan didn’t regard Ji Yunmiao highly, but she answered obediently to avoid worrying Sun Chan. “Alright, Second Master.”

Sun Chan nodded and wanted to say more, but when he saw Nan Yan’s cold and confident demeanor, he realized that there was no need to say anything else.

Even though they had only known each other for a short time, Sun Chan had already recognized Nan Yan’s character. She was composed, restrained, calm, and powerful. What was even more valuable was her quick-witted nature.

Indeed, if she were just an ordinary girl, she wouldn’t have been accepted as a disciple by their Senior Brother.

After dropping Sun Chan off at his courtyard, Nan Yan returned to the Qin family’s residence.

Old Madam Qin had been relaxing in the garden, enjoying the flowers. When she saw Nan Yan returning, her eyes lit up, and she quickly got up to approach her.

“Yanyan, why are you back so early today?”

Nan Yan hurried over to her and helped her. “I don’t need to go to the herb garden these days, so I came back.”

Old Madam Qin grinned. “Is that so, Yanyan? Does it mean you’ll have more time to accompany your grandmother?”

Seeing the elderly lady’s delighted expression, Nan Yan didn’t have the heart to disappoint her. Besides, she realized that she indeed had some free time these days. So, she nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll accompany you.”

Old Madam Qin was thrilled. “Great! Come on, let me take you out for some fun!”

Nan Yan: “…Alright.”

After being dragged into spending an entire afternoon outside by Old Madam Qin, she returned home exhausted. The elderly lady went to her room to rest. Nan Yan went to her own bedroom, took a shower, and when she came out, Grandpa An was calling her.

“Yanyan, how much longer will you stay in the capital? When are you coming back?” he asked.

“I’m not sure yet,” Nan Yan replied lazily, leaning back on the sofa and asking, “What’s up, Grandpa?”

“It’s your maternal grandfather. He wants to know when you’ll be back so he can arrange a visit to the World Tower with you.”

The World Tower was the highest organization that encompassed various artistic disciplines, including painting, music, chess, calligraphy, and more. Even the president of the Art Association, Zhong Changning, was one of the elders of the World Tower. And at this time, the honorary chairman of the World Tower was Lu Zhengyan, who could be considered the chairman.

After Grandpa An finished speaking, Grandpa Lu took the phone from him and said to Nan Yan, “Yanyan, you mustn’t refuse. Even if you don’t want to learn these things from your maternal grandfather, consider it a trip for leisure and enjoyment. You should accompany your grandfather.”

“Jiang Nai will be going along too, and Elder Zhong, out of respect for you, intends to bring Lin family’s girl as well. You will join them, won’t you!” The last “won’t you” from Grandpa Lu was asked somewhat hesitantly.

Nan Yan had an independent personality and a strong will of her own.

Once she made a decision, it was very difficult to change her mind. Even her maternal grandfather didn’t seem to have any special privileges in her eyes. Nan Yan listened to Lu Zhengyan’s words and rubbed her temples. “Alright…”

After all, it was just one day. She would try to make time for it.

However, one day here and one day there added up, and it wasted a considerable amount of her time.

After the competition in the Divine Physician Sect ended, she had to find time to participate in the computer science competition, meet with the Traditional Chinese Medicine League, visit the World Tower, and then go to Shennongjia with her Third Senior Brother.

Once she returned from Shennongjia, unless something unexpected happened, she would be going to M Country.

Grandpa Lu was delighted when he heard Nan Yan’s agreement. He smiled and said a few more words before returning the phone to Grandpa An.

Grandpa An rolled his eyes and then, in a caring tone, gave Nan Yan some instructions about taking care of herself while she was outside. Nan Yan had always been patient with the elderly, so she patiently listened to his advice.

After hanging up the phone, it was already more than ten minutes later. Sitting in the same position for a long time had made her a bit weary. She put her phone down and stretched vigorously.

However, she exerted too much force and ended up getting a muscle cramp…

Thud, thud, thud

Rhythmic knocking echoed through the door.

Nan Yan furrowed her brows, tried to sit up straight, and reached behind her back, covering the painful cramped area. She said, “Come in.”

The door opened, and Qin Lu, in control of his wheelchair, entered.

As soon as he entered and noticed Nan Yan’s awkward movements and her furrowed brow, he became concerned. He quickly maneuvered the wheelchair to her side.

“Yanyan, what’s wrong? Where does it hurt?”

Seeing that it was Qin Lu who entered, Nan Yan, in a rather undignified manner, reclined back on the sofa, bit her lip, and said with frustration, “I have a cramp…”

Perhaps she had been exercising too much lately, causing her body’s calcium levels to lag behind. This body of hers had a very weak foundation.

Even after months of rehabilitation, it was still far from her original physical condition.

Qin Lu’s brows furrowed at the news, and he reached out to help her up. “Where does it hurt?”

Nan Yan said weakly, “At the back, near my heart.”

Qin Lu responded softly, his warm hand gently massaging her back at the location near her heart where the cramp had occurred.

The moderate pressure and the warmth of his palm gradually relieved the sore and painful area that had been causing Nan Yan discomfort.

Half-reclined on the sofa, Nan Yan narrowed her eyes in comfort. Through her blurred vision, she saw the earnest and gentle expression on Qin Lu’s face, making him even more charming.

Damn it, he’s so charismatic!

Inappropriate thoughts surfaced uncontrollably, and her gaze towards him became increasingly bewitched. Her fair face gradually took on a seductive allure…

Qin Lu lowered his gaze slightly, his gentle eyes nearly drowning people in his gaze. He softly asked, “Is it still painful?”

Nan Yan’s mind was wandering in the clouds, and her eyes only saw his sensual lips moving, but she couldn’t quite make out what he was saying. There was only one thought in her mind: she wanted to kiss!

However, this position certainly wouldn’t allow it. She unconsciously reached out and touched his soft lips.

When Qin Lu felt the soft and cool touch on his lips, his body trembled….
