Perhaps it was because Nianyang had just shown disregard for Old Yu, causing a grudge in his heart, that he kept his gaze fixed on Nianyang throughout the whole examination process.
The reason Old Yu considered taking on an apprentice this time was that he was getting older, afraid that his medical expertise would have no successor, and even more afraid that if something unexpected happened to him, there would be no more legends of him in the community.
Additionally, there was a secret: his medical journey had reached a barren land. For several years, he had not made any breakthroughs. If things continued like this, the Traditional Chinese Medicine Family might collapse in his hands.
That's why he considered taking on a disciple, to have someone inherit his legacy.
After all, with young people, all it takes is some guidance, and they can draw analogies from one instance to another. As long as a good disciple is cultivated, ultimately, the one who benefits is certainly him.
