I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 813: Chapter 812: Are They Too Arrogant?

”What about Qingyu?”

Spoke the man seated below Zhou Biwu, named Chen Jingfeng, a major general in his fifties.

At this moment, he leaned against the back of the chair, hands clasped in front of him, his chest adorned with medals. His face was clean-shaven, and the bronze complexion bore no smile, appearing stern and the resolute lines added to his ruggedness.

At the mention of Qingyu, the conference room fell silent for a moment, then Zhan Lanqi said, ”This faction has been dormant for so many years, would their strength be as before now that they have suddenly reappeared in the public eye?”

She was not keen on letting the Qingyu School intervene. This faction was rather uncanny, despite having few members, they have managed to rise to the ranks of a major school, surpassing even the reputation of the Ancient Wood School. Especially since Grandpa Chu mentioned that the young leader, despite not exhibiting any particular skills, has a remarkable ability to win hearts.

In the past, many of the major schools disdained any involvement in governance, but this situation has changed over the years. The current cooperation with the Military Department is also the Ancient Wood School taking a tentative first step.

Zhan Lanqi was the mediator in this. If both parties were satisfied with the cooperation, one could imagine her future status in both the Military Department and among the factions would be significantly different, certainly being valued by both!

Her aptitude in the Mystic Medical School was not notable, particularly not among major schools like the Ancient Wood School, where she indeed seemed inconspicuous. Fortunately, some family ties within the military allowed her to become the head of a division-level military hospital, which was quite commendable. Without other opportunities, she might have been stuck at this point.

This was her opportunity. As long as the cooperation satisfied both sides, she would gain what she wanted from it. But if the Qingyu School joined, the honor would greatly diminish. If in the end, Qingyu snatched the honor, she might end up with nothing.

Such occurrences were not rare for Zhan Lanqi. When there was only one collaborator, nothing seemed wrong. The Military Department would be responsive and tolerate demands to the maximum extent. But with two collaborators, competition emerged, and the Military Department naturally wouldn’t be as accommodating.

Without you, there would still be them.

Therefore, the one who least wanted other factions or families involved was Zhan Lanqi.

Of course, if it were a small family just wanting to get some limelight, she wouldn’t mind; it would instead highlight the foundation of the Ancient Wood School. However, the name of Qingyu was too big and mysterious. To date, no one could figure out how profound their foundation was. Even Grandpa Chu couldn’t say for sure, so she didn’t want to take such a big risk.

All those present held high positions of power. There were four generals alone, not to mention a super warrior like Luo Xudong. The level of this meeting was very high, highly confidential, with naturally significant task risks but correspondingly high honor.

Anyone speaking in this conference room could not be underestimated.

Everyone pondered over Chen Jingfeng’s words.

Wu Yuekai glanced at Zhou Biwu and then at Chen Jingfeng. Though they seemed to talk about the same person, it seemed both were unaware of it. Naturally, he wouldn’t remind them, only choosing to watch how things unfolded.

The task’s main officer in charge was Fang Yushan, with Chen Jingfeng as the secondary. Hence, Wu Yuekai refrained from saying much, just listening intently as the discussion concerned the issue at hand.

Seeing no one speaking, Fang Yushan asked Chen Jingfeng, ”As I understand, this Qingyu School is quite renowned, and I’ve heard their patriarch is a very young and capable figure. However, they have indeed been dormant for a few years. Would they be willing to help?”

Zhan Lanqi pressed her lips together; she thought General Fang would take her words into consideration. After all, she was from a major school, and even with a low rank, her words carried weight. Yet, unexpectedly, his concern was whether they would agree?

She said no more, being overly eager might arouse suspicion and aversion from others. Perhaps Qingyu themselves never intended to emerge.

Chen Jingfeng said, ”I can inquire.”

Fang Yushan nodded; his words hinted at having some connections. If the Qingyu School were willing to assist, it would be a significant boost and would also allow digging into their details. Even the military department would feel a bit apprehensive about an unknown major Mystic Medical School.

Zhan Lanqi frowned internally; unfortunately, she knew just as little about Qingyu. Otherwise, she would definitely find a way to prevent it. Now, trying to find out might already be too late.

Luo Xudong had remained silent, but at this moment spoke up, ”This task is very important; inviting a faction we have never collaborated with might delay the task’s progress.”

Zhan Lanqi was startled, then inwardly delighted. She never expected Commander Luo would agree with her view at such a critical moment!

With Luo Xudong speaking, her words wouldn’t appear abrupt. She said, ”I heard the patriarch of the Qingyu School is an exceptionally capable person. Would someone like that follow Commander Luo’s arrangements?”

Everyone understood her words. Mystic Doctors inherently have high pride, and the major faction members even more so. Qingyu’s fame is immense, yet their details unknown, with the patriarch’s temperament also unclear, save for rumors of his youth. Even older individuals can’t always maintain composure, let alone young, vigorous individuals.

If indeed very proud and difficult to lead, then this task becomes hard to complete.

Although the Mystic Medical School was invited for assistance, and they would be treated politely, the leadership was with the Military Department. Luo Xudong was the main executor of this task; they must follow Luo Xudong’s arrangements.

Luo Xudong remained non-committal regarding Zhan Lanqi’s words. The only thought in his mind was to keep his wife from danger.

Wu Yuekai sipped his tea; it seemed this couple had differing views: one wanted participation, while the other didn’t. He decided not to assist either, to avoid offending anyone.

Regarding Luo Xudong’s words, Fang Yushan remained silent, leaving no one knowing his thoughts. Chen Jingfeng glanced at Luo Xudong and asked, ”Commander Luo, do you have an objection to Qingyu?”

Luo Xudong seldom voiced opinions on such matters. As the task’s primary executor, whatever Fang Yushan thought, he would have to consider Luo Xudong’s views and opinions, holding even more sway than Major General Chen Jingfeng.

Luo Xudong replied leisurely, ”I don’t understand Major General Chen’s implications.”

Chen Jingfeng gave him a long look. If this guy didn’t want to talk, no one could force him. He planned to see if he could find out the reason later. He truly hoped the Qingyu School could get involved in this matter.

A selfish motive certainly existed, but Qingyu’s overall strength was undeniable.
