Chapter 108 After asking this chapter,
Mu Yunxi didn't say another word, but continued walking forward with Ruochan expressionlessly, leaving the place without looking back. The two maids stood there in a daze, their faces turning pale and their bodies shaking uncontrollably, as if they had foreseen their own tragic end.
"Is this tactic of yours called knocking the mountain to scare the tiger?" Ruo Chan asked curiously, blinking his bright eyes.
"No, I'm trying to win your heart!" Mu Yunxi smiled slightly.
Ruo Chan pondered it carefully, then laughed as if suddenly enlightened. "So that's how it is, my lord! From this perspective, we don't even need to take action ourselves. Those two maids will scare themselves to death just by imagining things."
Mu Yunxi remembered what she had heard the two maids say before, and she couldn't help but frowned and asked, "When did Ouyang Yi die?"
Ruo Chan tried hard to recall, and after a while he replied, "It's been a long time. I think it was the morning you went to observe the academy."
After hearing this, Mu Yunxi fell into deep thought, thinking to herself, "That day... no wonder A Yin looked worried that day."
Soon, the two returned to the Mu Mansion. When they arrived at the front hall, Mu Cheng came to greet them and introduced the people around him to Mu Yunxi: "This is Imperial Physician Shen, also the director of the Imperial Hospital."
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunxi did not dare to neglect it and quickly bowed respectfully, saying, "I have long heard of your great name! I am honored to meet you today."
Dean Shen stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Master Xiao Mu is a fourth-rank official at such a young age. He is truly a man of talent!" After some politeness, Dean Shen continued, "It's like this. I heard that the Innovation Academy is recruiting students. Although I am old, I still feel that I have some desire for knowledge. I am not talented, but I would like to apply to become a student of the academy."
Mu Yunxi thought for a moment before asking, "Doctor Shen is now the director of the Imperial Hospital, and his medical skills are quite advanced. Why does he want to be a student at the Innovation Academy? I think with the director's medical skills, I'm afraid the academy has nothing to teach him!"
Shen Yuanzheng waved his hand and said, "No, no! But I heard from His Majesty that you brought it to the people of Pro City, and that they wanted to use their Gu insect healing skills to integrate them into medical theory. That's why I came here."
Mu Yunxi frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling. After a long silence, she opened her red lips and asked slowly, "Master Dean, I have a humble request. I wonder if you are willing to serve as a teacher at the Innovation Academy? As long as you agree, you can propose any conditions. We will do our best to meet your requirements!"
Upon hearing this, Dean Shen was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into a hearty, deafening laugh. Laughing, he turned to look at Mu Cheng, who was sitting beside him, and said jokingly, "Hahahahaha, Master Mu, look at your precious daughter. She's even more cunning than you are! I only wanted to be an ordinary student here, studying my new knowledge, but she'd trick me into becoming a teacher!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Cheng quickly forced a smile, but it contained neither the slightest hint of flattery nor a loss of courtesy and grace. He cupped his hands and responded sincerely, "Master Yuanzheng, please don't tease me. Everyone knows that you are a master physician with exceptional medical skills and can bring people back to health. You are truly a miracle doctor. Furthermore, you are experienced, knowledgeable, and erudite. If you could be so kind as to 'teach others how to fish' and pass on your knowledge and understanding to more young students, it would be a boon to all mankind! Thanks to your teaching and guidance, our Zhao Kingdom will produce countless outstanding doctors who can save lives and heal the wounded. In the long run... your merits are immeasurable! How can we not leave a significant mark in the annals of our Zhao Kingdom?"
After hearing Mu Cheng's words, Shen Yuanzheng couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. To say he wasn't moved would be a lie. However, the thought of passing on the knowledge and experience he'd accumulated over a lifetime to others swelled with an inexplicable reluctance. After all, this precious knowledge was the product of years of diligent study and constant exploration. Now, imparting it without reservation, he couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant.
At this moment, Mu Yunxi, skilled at reading Shen's expressions, caught a hint of excitement in Shen's heart and, seizing the opportunity, further persuaded him, "The key to the Innovation Academy lies in the word 'innovation.' Shen, imagine that in the future we can successfully develop a completely new method of saving lives, for example, a pregnant woman with a difficult labor. In the past, people were forced to make the difficult choice between saving the adult or the child. But if a new method could achieve both, that would be a great thing!"
These words flashed like a bolt of lightning across the night sky, instantly igniting Shen Yuanzheng's deep desire for medical exploration. His eyes widened, and he couldn't wait to ask, "How can we achieve such a miracle?"
Mu Yunxi naturally understood the elder's passion for medicine was fully aroused, but she also knew that cesarean sections were too shocking a concept in this day and age, and would be difficult for the public to accept. Therefore, after a moment's hesitation, she slowly replied, "As for the specific procedures, I cannot explain them to Dean Shen in detail at this time. The academy's facilities are not yet fully equipped, so I cannot disclose them to the public. I hope you will forgive me for that."
Dean Shen's face was full of anticipation, and he stretched his neck as if eagerly asking, "If I become the teacher of the academy, will I be able to know the secret?" He looked like a curious giraffe. If Mu Yunxi standing in front of him was a man, he would have been grabbed by him and questioned endlessly.
Hearing this, Mu Yunxi couldn't help but smile, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she replied softly: "That's right, if you become a teacher at the Innovation Academy, you will naturally need to be familiar with the relevant knowledge before you can teach those students!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanzheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Then I'm going. Little girl, you have to help me reserve a place for a teacher there!" After saying this, he winked at Mu Yunxi, revealing a bit of childishness. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he asked Mu Yunxi, "Little Master Mu, have you studied medicine?"
Mu Yunxi just shook her head slightly and replied, "No."
Hearing this answer, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "If that's the case, then how did you know about that exquisite and amazing suturing technique?"
Mu Yunxi, however, began to talk nonsense in all seriousness. "Oh, it was just a sudden idea I came up with while I was mending clothes. I thought, if you can mend a torn cloth, then maybe the same can be done for a human injury."
After hearing this, Shen Yuanzheng was stunned at first, then he couldn't help stroking his beard and bursting into laughter, and said with emotion: "Young people are really like this, their minds are so flexible and useful, they can come up with such novel and clever ideas!" Then, after everyone exchanged polite greetings for a while, Shen Yuanzheng bowed and said goodbye and left.
Now that the medical course instructors had finally been chosen, Mu Yunxi felt a little more at ease. She hadn't planned to hire too many instructors, but she had a deeper reasoning behind it. She hoped to have students trained within the academy become its instructors. She felt having teachers from her own academy would give students a greater sense of belonging.
