The simple-minded furball was indeed fooled. It flickered in the space for five minutes before slowly responding.
[Master, Li Tingyan had an accident when he became the chairman.]
Nianyang felt reassured.
Chairman.
So, in her previous life, Li Tingyan had reached the position of chairman before he died!
Li Tingyan is currently a manager, with two more levels to go before reaching chairman; there shouldn’t be any danger within two years.
So, his current sea voyage should not be life-threatening.
Besides, she gave him that sachet which senses Li Tingyan’s life danger, and since it didn’t signal her, it means Li Tingyan is fine.
But Nianyang forgot, sometimes accidents happen so suddenly.

The next day, Nianyang returned to the Medical University, and classes had officially started.
There were only a dozen or so people in the large classroom, and an experienced old Chinese medicine doctor, Teacher Hao, was teaching them.
After giving a class, Teacher Hao told everyone an exciting piece of news: next month, a big shot in the Chinese medicine community, the head of a hidden-away ancestral family, will be visiting.
To promote Chinese medicine, a Chinese medicine research group will be established at the school, and one student will be chosen as his closed-door disciple to inherit his skills.
The students were filled with anticipation. Being chosen would be such an honor.
Moreover, since the individual is from an ancestral family, there would surely be many secret recipes, and becoming his disciple would provide access to them, right?
However, Nianyang was indifferent, her mind was not on her studies, continuously feeling that something big was going to happen.

Absent-mindedly attending classes all morning, it was raining outside, and Nianyang’s left eyelid wouldn’t stop twitching.
This is annoying, why is it so gloomy?
When class ended, Shi Nuan came to Nianyang to have lunch together. Noticing Nianyang was in a bad mood, she asked what was wrong.
Nianyang didn’t want Shi Nuan to worry about her, so she said it was nothing, and casually changed the subject,
"Nuannuan, why hasn’t Chu Huan been to class?"
It’s not that Nianyang wanted to see her, but someone so dramatic hasn’t shown up for the past few days.
If something’s unusual, something must be up!
Shi Nuan shrugged, "No idea. Since that farewell dinner, she hasn’t been to school.
There’s no record of her at the school either; maybe she’s too scared of the training to come back to class?"
Nianyang found it unlikely. Given Chu Huan’s arrogant nature, how could she simply give up halfway?
Halfway through the meal, it started thundering outside.
The girls at the neighboring table were chatting,
"It’s raining again. Why is it raining every day lately!"
"Don’t you know? There’s an earthquake on Lincheng Island, the tremors are strong, and the weather turned bad, we’re so close to Lincheng, it probably affects us too!"
"You said an earthquake on Lincheng Island? How come we don’t feel it here!"
"Haven’t you seen the news? It’s an 8.0 earthquake; the trees, mountains, and even houses on the island have all collapsed. Many fishermen are buried.
Nianyang’s face darkened.
Earthquake?
In Lincheng.
That day, Li Tingyan left in such a hurry.
Could it be because of this?
Shi Nuan insightfully noticed Nianyang’s worry,
"Nianyang, are you worried the Head Coach is on the island?
Don’t worry, the Head Coach is so skilled, it’s just an earthquake, he won’t be in trouble, so don’t worry yourself."
