I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s-Chapter 676 - 675

Little Yu Zhu pouted; she didn’t want to go to those families!

Upon seeing Beisitian walk over, Liu Xinghua stopped talking to his granddaughter and smiled at Beisitian, saying, "Congratulations! Others might not get a qualification token even if they sit for two days, yet you got one immediately. Clearly, your strength is extraordinary."

Beisitian didn’t take Liu Xinghua’s polite compliments to heart. She thanked him and looked at Little Yu Zhu, "Why do you look unhappy?"

Liu Xinghua was worried the child might say something she shouldn’t, considering the person saved Little Yu Zhu and now belittling them would be somewhat unreasonable. But for the family’s interests, he couldn’t cater to Little Yu Zhu’s wishes to let her join this girl’s sect.

"Kids don’t really have moods; they change faces fast, crying one second and laughing the next," Liu Xinghua said.

At this moment, two men walked over, both around thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, Little Yu Zhu’s uncles.

"Excuse me." Liu Xinghua smiled, nodded, and led Little Yu Zhu away.

Beisitian waved to Little Yu Zhu, who looked back at her longingly.

The two men quickly reached Liu Xinghua, speaking excitedly, "Seems like it’s almost certain this time; we need to take Little Zhu over. People want a look."

This made Little Yu Zhu feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Those people wanting to see her always felt like she was merchandise, which intensified her resistance.

"Grandpa, I don’t want to go..."

"Be obedient, for the family and for yourself, you have to perform well and stay cheerful. People don’t like sullen ones." Liu Xinghua was preoccupied, thinking about whether they could succeed, and didn’t pay attention to Little Yu Zhu’s feelings.

Little Yu Zhu pursed her lips and saw her grandpa deep in thought. Tears welling in her eyes were forced back in. The family had given most of its resources to her for this day, Little Yu Zhu knew, but she really didn’t like it.

This gave her the illusion that her parents, grandpa, and uncles liked and were kind to her all for the hope that the big family would favor her and thus help the Liu Family out of their predicament.

This purposeful kindness left Little Yu Zhu feeling very unsettled. Would they stop liking her if she didn’t perform well one day?

Liu Xinghua led Little Yu Zhu to the rest area outside the old warehouse. It was a sunny day, and although the temperature wasn’t very low, the weather didn’t make people feel cold.

Under the sun umbrella sat three men and a woman, all around forty years old. They were some of the power holders of the Chaoyun Sect.

Chaoyun Sect held considerable strength among the northern sects. Previously, it could rival the Wei Family, but then the Wei Family produced Wei Zhongyuan, which instantly pulled rank away.

The Wei Family’s comprehensive strength and foundation might not compare to those large families and major sects, but one Wei Zhongyuan catapulted the Wei Family into a major family. Now, who in this industry doesn’t know about the Wei Family?

So the Chaoyun Sect, once on par with the Wei Family, saying they want to check out Little Yu Zhu’s aptitude delighted Liu Xinghua.

"Are you the head of the Liu Family?" The woman spoke first.

This woman was about forty years old, with deep nasolabial folds, wearing glasses, with a typical appearance but heavily made up—blue-tinged eyebrows and red-purple lips—making her appear somewhat fierce and hard to talk to at first glance.

Liu Xinghua smiled and nodded, noticing the other three first scrutinized him, then Little Yu Zhu. None invited him to sit, which made him furrow his brow.

The three were seated while Liu Xinghua stood with Little Yu Zhu, being examined, feeling inferior.

The Liu Family was far behind the Chaoyun Sect, but Liu Xinghua stood tall. He sought a good place for his granddaughter and a way out of the Liu Family’s current predicament, but he wouldn’t sell his dignity for it.

What you get from selling dignity won’t lead to great success. Even if Little Yu Zhu joined the other sect, she wouldn’t be valued or help the Liu Family.

The Chaoyun Sect’s disdain for the Liu Family left Liu Xinghua very dissatisfied, but he decided to wait and see, standing there silently, just straightening his back more.

"This girl has quite decent aptitude. What are Mr. Liu’s plans?" The woman drank some water and asked flatly.

Liu Xinghua knew; she was asking how much he planned to offer annually. It’s standard practice—basically, when you send a child to another sect to study, you must pay tuition fees. They can’t teach you the Mystic Doctor skills for free.

But saying this was somewhat inappropriate. Once Little Yu Zhu joined the Chaoyun Sect, besides her surname, she’d have no connection to the Liu Family—a ’permanent’ relationship. Once Little Yu Zhu succeeded, she could help her own family.

At this point, Liu Xinghua’s offerings were just to make Little Yu Zhu’s life better within the sect, essentially paying to buy her more resources.

In ordinary society, the Liu Family was wealthy; in the Mystic Doctor world, they couldn’t be called affluent.

Liu Xinghua thought for a moment and said, "We can offer twenty thousand annually..."

Before he finished, another man from the Chaoyun Sect interrupted, scoffing, "Twenty thousand? Twenty thousand lets this girl come in to do odd jobs?"

Liu Xinghua’s face didn’t look good; twenty thousand was the Liu Family’s maximum limit. Don’t forget about the whole family!

Whether they could offer more wasn’t the issue; the man’s words left no face. What do you mean, send her to do odd jobs? Even if you are power figures of the Chaoyun Sect, he is the Liu Family head!

Liu Xinghua had never felt so embarrassed and awkward. Though he wanted Little Yu Zhu to join a sect like the Chaoyun Sect, it might not be a good choice; Little Yu Zhu would likely only be looked down upon.

"Since you have no interest in cooperation, I won’t waste your time. Goodbye." Even in anger, Liu Xinghua didn’t want to offend them, so he said nothing else or increase his offering, leading Little Yu Zhu away. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

The three probably hadn’t expected such a tiny family to be so dignified, mocking them in their eyes.

"Twenty thousand a month, quite gutsy. This family really isn’t taking the Chaoyun Sect seriously."

"Hmph, clueless. We shouldn’t meet just anyone; it wastes time and tarnishes the Chaoyun Sect."

"Children from such small families will never succeed, no matter the resources or mentors. Their family’s limitations restrict insight and realm."

Their comments were heard clearly by the departing Liu Xinghua, making him furiously pale.
