“Senior Chen has taken in a female disciple.”

Hearing the news, Xia Zhuyuan was surprised.

She had thought that senior Chen was a reclusive expert who didn’t like to be disturbed by others, but she didn’t expect that he would accept a disciple and a female one at that.

If she had known that the senior had the intention to take in a disciple, she would have been first in line.

Just as she was thinking, she suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in front of senior Chen’s small courtyard. The familiar figure was dressed in white, looking gentle and pure.

“Yan Jin.”

Xia Zhuyuan was stunned again.

“Why is she there?”

Suddenly thinking of something, Xia Zhuyuan asked, “Auntie, is she senior Chen’s female disciple?”

“Yes, that’s her. She’s pretty, right?” Aunt Li said.

Xia Zhuyuan was stunned. Senior Chen had accepted a disciple, and it was her personal doctor?

Seeing Xia Zhuyuan’s arrival, Yan Jin hurriedly stepped forward to bow, but before she could call out the word “Your Majesty”, she was stopped by the former who said, “There’s no need for that. Now that you are senior Chen’s disciple, you don’t have to be too polite to me.”

The two of them chatted for a while, and then Yan Jin said in a serious and apologetic tone, “I’m really sorry that I didn’t inform you before coming, but I have my difficulties. I’ll explain them to you in detail when we have an opportunity in the future. You should come in first. Don’t let senior Chen wait for too long.”

As she spoke, Yan Jin led Xia Zhuyuan into the small courtyard.

In the courtyard, Chen Xuan was lying down on a recliner, stroking his cat.

Yan Jin could not help but exclaim in her heart, “Master had just killed two War Gods of the Medicine God Valley with a medicinal recipe written in an extreme cursive font, and now he’s playing with the cat.”

Perhaps only her master could do such a thing.

“Zhuyuan, you’ve come,” Chen Xuan was in a good mood when he saw Xia Zhuyuan.

“Come and have a seat. I’ve just made a new tea recently. Try it.”

With that, he went to make tea. He was always polite to his guests.

Yan Jin was used to serving the Empress, so she was meticulous. She had already prepared tea with just the right temperature and handed it to her master.

While drinking tea, Xia Zhuyuan walked over and said, “Senior, I have something to ask.”

“What is it?”

“Now, the people of the entire Xuanling World from the four regions are all rushing to the Central Region. What are your thoughts?”

Since the matter was of utmost importance to the Central Region, Xia Zhuyuan didn’t dare to be careless. She stated her question clearly.

Xia Zhuyuan explained, “The Central Region’s Dao discussion conference is about to begin. Many people will come from the East, West, South, and North. This conference is an opportunity for the Central Region, but at the same time, also a crisis.”

“Since the people from the other four regions are all coming to the Central Region, are they going to use the Central Region as the center to conduct trade? Whoever proposed this concept must be quite the genius.”

Chen Xuan agreed in his heart to a certain extent, but he still commented from a different perspective, “It’s a good idea, but it’s also risky.”

“As expected, there’s danger!”

The listeners trembled with fear when they heard this.

Chen Xuan continued, “It’s hard to tell someone else’s true intentions. With the four regions gathered, it’s inevitable that there will be those who seek personal gains and cause trouble behind the scenes.”

Someone would be up to no good!

The group was once again worried sick.

The Dao discussion conference of the Central Region was of a very high level, such that even celestials would come. How could they not be shocked when they learned that someone would dare to play tricks behind the scenes at such a conference?

“Then what should we do?” Xia Zhuyuan asked again.

“Since the matter has arrived, just take things as they come, and respond to all changes by remaining calm,” Saying this, Chen Xuan looked at Xia Zhuyuan and muttered in his heart, “How would I know what to do? I’m not a celestial. Do you think I can predict the future?”

When Xia Zhuyuan and Zhang Mu heard Chen Xuan’s “meaningful” words, they treated them as a holy verdict.

“Alright, I’m tired. You guys can leave first.”

“I’ll send you off,” Yan Jin sent off the guests.

Xia Zhuyuan and Zhang Mu didn’t leave. They wanted to know more from senior Chen.

Chen Xuan then took out a wooden board thoughtfully and started writing on it. It was time to give this place a name.

It was time for this small courtyard to have a signboard.

Four big words quickly appeared on the wooden board: Pure Heart Medical Cottage!

When these four ancient characters appeared, the entire courtyard seemed to be illuminated by the radiance of the Heavenly Dao. It changed, and a sense of holiness suddenly emerged.

“How sacred!”

“Not only are senior Chen’s words impressive, but one can also sense the Great Dao hidden within them. Just like these four words, “Pure Heart Medical Cottage”, they seem to have supreme principles. Just by looking at it for some time, one’s state of mind can calm down and one will feel very relaxed.”

Xia Zhuyuan and Zhang Mu felt that once the plaque was hung above the courtyard, the entire small courtyard seemed to be flowing with a trace of ancient and majestic Heavenly Dao radiance.

Chen Xuan looked at the four words with satisfaction, “In the future, my place will be called the Pure Heart Medical Cottage.”

A doctor should help the world. As for the two words “pure heart”, they were taken from a poem from his previous life: The pure heart is like the snow shining under the stars and moon, the spring breeze in the hometown is accompanied by laughter.

This was one of Chen Xuan’s favorite poems, and as such, he used the words “pure heart” in the name of his medical cottage.

“Senior, can you bestow me with a calligraphy work?”

Seeing that Chen Xuan’s words contained the essence of the great Dao, Xia Zhuyuan couldn’t help but ask for a copy to keep as a collection.

“Of course,” Chen Xuan looked at Xia Zhuyuan and thought for a moment before saying, “You’re a woman, yet you have to support a family. It’s not easy.”

As he spoke, he wrote down a line of poetry: Women are not inferior to men, and beauties are better than men.

This sentence was praising Xia Zhuyuan for her capability in supporting a family and bringing a fool with her wherever she went although she was just a woman. Indeed, she did not have it easy.

Xia Zhuyuan looked at the words.

The great Dao between the words seemed to be fluctuating along with the ups and downs of her mood.

It was as if she could see herself, alone, shouldering the great responsibility of the country.

Those of high status would be worried about the world, and those of lower status would be worried about the civilians.

Inside the kingdom, she had to worry about the development of the Wu Dynasty, but outside the kingdom, she had to be worried about the potential invaders.

It really wasn’t easy.

As she looked at the words, she cried.

“It turns out the senior already knows that it was not easy for me to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.”

Xia Zhuyuan wiped her tears. Her depressed mood improved a little as if she had found a soulmate.

“Senior, my flag is still nameless. Why don’t you name it for me?”

Xia Zhuyuan looked at Chen Xuan’s calligraphy work and took out the Blood Soul Flag

that she had gotten from the battle with the Devil Emperor Jing Daotian. The 100000 blood souls and evil aura on the flag had already been wiped away by Chen Xuan.

The current flag was white and flawless, emitting a holy light.

Chen Xuan was touched by the righteousness of the flag and wrote two words: Celestial Suppression!

“From now on, this flag shall be called the Celestial Suppression Flag.”
