I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 815: Chapter 814: Sleeping in Separate Rooms

Considering the special nature of the mission, the Military Department not only invited two major schools but also conducted conscription, fully demonstrating the superior strength of the Military Department, and making some haughty major schools and families aware of future trends.

Especially since one of the major schools was Qingyu, it sparked much discussion. Ever since the banquet hosted by the Association, Qingyu had not appeared, and just when everyone thought they had retreated again, they were invited to assist the Military Department in completing the mission.

The actions of major schools and families often serve as a trend indicator for medium and small clan sects. The practices of the Ancient Wood School and Qingyu School gave many people food for thought.

That day, Zhan Lanqi approached Chen Jinliang and said, ”You say, since your sister-in-law is a Mystic Doctor, shouldn’t she participate in this conscription to help Commander Luo?”

Chen Jinliang shrugged, not particularly interested in this beautiful military doctor. ”You’ll have to ask my sister-in-law about that, but I’ve heard she’s quite capable.”

Zhan Lanqi nodded. ”Of course, my sister-in-law is impressive. With a husband like Commander Luo, she must have some skills.”

Though she said this, she didn’t actually think much of it. When she first learned that Beisitian was a Mystic Doctor, she was surprised for a moment, but on reflection, even if she was a Mystic Doctor, she was probably a minor one, a freelancer. Otherwise, why would she be holed up in that small courtyard all the time? And if she were famous, Chen Jinliang would surely know.

Major schools typically have certain rules; they wouldn’t allow Beisitian to stay home all day caring for children. Thus, Zhan Lanqi was almost certain that Beisitian wasn’t from any major school.

”You’re familiar with my sister-in-law; you should persuade her. After all, with Commander Luo around, there won’t be any danger. She should help Commander Luo, right?” Zhan Lanqi said.

She really didn’t want to go to that small courtyard again; she couldn’t stand Beisitian’s sharp tongue and never got the upper hand. Chen Jinliang, being familiar with Beisitian, might sway her if he spoke to her.

Chen Jinliang wasn’t foolish; he wouldn’t just run errands because someone said a few words. Besides, this was a private matter between a husband and wife; it wasn’t his business.

He neither agreed nor disagreed, and Zhan Lanqi took his silence as acquiescence.

Zhan Lanqi didn’t mean to compliment Beisitian; since Beisitian was a Mystic Doctor, she surely knew about the Ancient Wood School and naturally recognized the disparity between them.

She wanted Beisitian to understand that being a Mystic Doctor wasn’t her bragging right. Without a powerful sect or a solid foundation, she was, frankly, just a little doctor.

She also wanted Beisitian to clearly understand that she was of no help to her husband, whereas she, an outsider, could completely assist him.

Zhan Lanqi always felt it was a pity that such a good opportunity was squandered by Beisitian’s husband, and the thought made her quite angry!

From the time the invitation was sent out to receiving responses, and from the start to the end of conscription, it took less than three days. The Military Department handled the mission with exceptional speed.

Those invited this time were the Qingyu School and the Ancient Wood School. It wasn’t the head of the Ancient Wood School who appeared because he’s not a Great Power; a Great Power must appear. However, due to some internal matters, the powerful person from the Ancient Wood School was temporarily unavailable.

Two people came from the Ancient Wood School; although they weren’t Great Powers, they were highly capable Mystic Doctors with extremely rich experience. He politely apologized on behalf of the Great Power, showing sincere goodwill.

As for Qingyu School, Beisitian and Tian Zhi came. Bringing Tian Zhi along was to give him an opportunity for experience; this was a great chance for development.

Other recruits included some families and sects, mostly above average. There were no major families since everyone cared about face; if you don’t extend an invitation, why should I insist on going?

Besides these recruited families and sects, the Mystic Doctor Association also sent people, showing their stance on the matter, even though the military and the association were not one entity.

This time, those who came were quite powerful. Some of the recruited families and sects were attracted by Qingyu and Ancient Wood, wanting to witness the strength of the two major families and learn from their experiences.

These people were not ordinary; since the Military Department invited them, they certainly would not be negligent. Although this wasn’t a first-tier city, the Mystic Doctors were accommodated in a five-star hotel, with the entire fifth and sixth floors booked.

This time, Beisitian came with Luo Xudong. Although it wasn’t the first time sitting in a military vehicle with Luo Xudong, this was for serious business, and it felt different, quite refreshing.

Seeing Beisitian’s face brimming with a smile, Luo Xudong sighed helplessly.

When Beisitian noticed Chen Jinliang wasn’t paying attention, she pinched his cheek lightly and whispered, ”Don’t keep sighing; I can take care of myself.”

Luo Xudong grabbed her mischievous hand and held it, giving her a look filled with helplessness and affection.

Chen Jinliang drove without looking aside, though inside, he was feeling indignant: could you two stop acting lovey-dovey every chance you get? Even though he’s not single, he can’t bring a partner along!

He quickly glanced at the rearview mirror. Despite telling himself not to watch their affection, he hoped Commander Luo would make the next move; just holding hands was boring, right?

But the moment he peeked, he locked eyes with Luo Xudong’s cool, intense glare through the rearview mirror, causing sweat to immediately break out. He quickly cleared his mind and drove obediently.

Finally arriving at the hotel, Luo Xudong and Beisitian got out of the car together. Zhan Lanqi was already waiting at the entrance, her face wearing a bright smile as she approached gracefully.

”Commander Luo, sister-in-law, you’ve arrived. It must have been a tiring journey,” Zhan Lanqi said with a smile.

Zhan Lanqi cast a beaming glance at Chen Jinliang. He had done a remarkable job, unexpectedly even managing to persuade Beisitian to come along.

Chen Jinliang was baffled by her smile.

They all entered the hotel together.

”The Mystic Doctors have been arranged on the sixth floor, separate from the Military Department staff. Commander Luo, do you want to apply for a room with your sister-in-law?” Zhan Lanqi asked.

”No need.” Luo Xudong replied, his expression slightly somber, showing a hint of displeasure.

A flash of amusement crossed Zhan Lanqi’s eyes. She knew that Commander Luo would never compromise professionalism for personal reasons during a mission. She glanced at Beisitian with a hint of smugness in her eyes, but it was subtle enough not to be noticed by anyone.

Luo Xudong also cast a mild glance at Beisitian—so, she really wanted to be in a separate room from him!

About Beisitian’s request, Luo Xudong had been silent the entire way. Although during the mission he wouldn’t act inappropriately, he hoped to enjoy some tender moments during their free time.

But!

Luo Xudong’s mood grew increasingly gloomy.
