in his mind at all.At this moment, Ah Hu by the door and two others also sensed something amiss with Tian Ming. Since Xiao Yu's killing intent was aimed solely at Tian Ming, they did not feel that ra...Chapter 594: Want to be a Lecturer

Since Mr. Zhuo didn't leave, Xiao Yu didn't feel right about leaving either and could only sit down to wait.

The time slowly passed. After half an hour, Mr. Zhuo slowly raised his head and looked around. When he saw the sitting Xiao Yu beside him, he stared at Xiao Yu for a while and said, "Xiao Yu, through today's debate, you've also seen that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is declining. Not only among the common people but even in these schools cultivating students, there are no more places for TCM. Today’s debate would not have been lost if they had emphasized more on TCM knowledge. However, what about now The TCM knowledge taught is just rote learning from textbooks without any flexibility or application at all! I even doubt that the teachers only repeat these textbook contents when lecturing!"

Hearing Mr. Zhuo's words, Xiao Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Of course, he knew what Mr. Zhuo was saying was true. He had also been a student of this school and graduated from the pure TCM class.

But back then, 80% of the knowledge taught was Western Medicine while only 20% was Traditional Chinese Medicine. Even that 20%, were just basic textbook knowledge—dead memory work! Moreover, during exams, questions would be asked about what appeared in textbooks, requiring students to memorize them by rote.

Generally speaking, the last question on a TCM exam paper is an application question. However, over 95% of students wouldn't know how to answer it. Thus, these students basically wouldn't answer that final question because even without answering it, they could still pass the exam.

As for those preceding questions, one could easily pass with rote learning before exams.

Xiao Yu was different from them. During his schooling days, he had no interest in Western Medicine and thus never studied it. He also didn't answer any of the dead memory work on exam papers. Usually, he only answered the last question. Although he hadn’t practiced much himself, the knowledge his grandfather taught him could still adequately answer such a basic question without any problem. Furthermore, Xiao Yu thought that only this final question had some substance to it. Therefore, he always only answered this last question.

"I see, sigh... Traditional Chinese Medicine! I hope its legacy won't be lost, but the way things are going now, it's hard to say what will happen decades from now!"

Hearing Old Zhuo's words, Xiao Yu also sighed and said. He had no solution for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine either. Besides, he had only been involved with it for a few days! Initially, when he practiced medicine, it was to promote his great-grandfather’s Man Sheng Hall and help it regain its standing in the medical community. Therefore, he hadn't considered many things. However, after witnessing today's debate, Xiao Yu felt extremely heavy-hearted.

"That's true, Xiao Yu. I have an idea; consider this!" Old Zhuo nodded solemnly when he heard what Xiao Yu said.

After hearing Old Zhuo’s words, Xiao Yu didn’t speak and just looked at him, waiting for his follow-up statement.

Old Zhuo naturally noticed that Xiao Yu was looking at him. So after a brief moment of contemplation, he said, "Xiao Yu, I want to represent the school in inviting you to be our lecturer!"

"Uh..." When Xiao Yu heard Old Zhuo's words, he was momentarily stunned. He had thought that Old Zhuo would talk about something else with him and didn't expect it to be an offer to teach at the university.

Xiao Yu was briefly stunned before he gave a wry smile. He could practice medicine, but teaching Xiao Yu believed he wasn’t fit for it; not because he couldn't teach students or wouldn't want to, but rather due to his personality—he lacked patience and couldn't get along with the students.

"Old Zhuo, I'm not suited to be a teacher! Besides, I don't have the time to come here!" After some thought, Xiao Yu told Old Zhuo. On one hand, his personality didn’t suit teaching, while on the other hand, he simply didn't have the time—it wasn't like he could spend all day at school. Hence, after some consideration, Xiao Yu still declined Old Zhuo's proposal.

"Haha, I don't mean for you to come here every day. You are a specially invited lecturer, and your classes will only be held once a week in the afternoon. You'll teach these students about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), starting from basic knowledge and gradually building up their foundation. They should not just remain at the textbook stage; this course is for everyone interested in TCM!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's refusal, Old Zhuo did not get angry but chuckled lightly as he explained to him. He was merely upset by seeing how Traditional Chinese Medicine had declined within this college.

Furthermore, given Xiao Yu’s expertise in Traditional Chinese Medicine, teaching these students should be more than sufficient. Old Zhuo also knew that over the years, it would be difficult for the students to learn very advanced knowledge, but mastering some fundamental concepts could greatly benefit them even if they didn’t pursue TCM as a career.

After hearing what Old Zhuo said, Xiao Yu thought deeply again about this matter. He had to think clearly because once he agreed, it would be a responsibility. Besides, Xiao Yu couldn't guarantee that something wouldn't prevent him from coming on the scheduled day.

A little while later, Xiao Yu raised his head and said, "I can give lectures, but I really cannot promise to come every single time!"

"Alright, I'll make sure of this. If you need to come one day, just call Xiao Qian first at any time, and he will arrange it for you. You don't have to stick to a specific schedule."

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Old Zhuo happily agreed and said that as long as Xiao Yu was willing, the rest of the details would be easy to handle.

Moreover, when schools invite professors for big lectures, isn't it always based on their availability As long as they have time, evening classes are also common.

"Since that's the case, I'll take care of this matter!" Upon hearing Grandpa Zhuo's words, Xiao Yu nodded and responded.

"Little Qian, arrange this matter. There can't be any mistakes!" After hearing Xiao Yu's agreement, Grandpa Zhuo also nodded and turned to address Principal Qian.

Hearing Grandpa Zhuo's instructions, Principal Qian nodded in response.

Principal Qian didn’t know why Grandpa Zhuo valued Xiao Yu so much, but judging from their relationship, they seemed close. However, he wasn't sure whether it was good or bad that Xiao Yu came to the school to give lectures. With Grandpa Zhuo placing such an important figure in the school, Principal Qian knew he would have to be more cautious in his actions from now on. This person had connections at the very top!

"Xiao Yu, I'll be returning to the capital today. If anything happens, give me a call!" After speaking to Xiao Yu, Grandpa Zhuo turned and said.

"Yes, sure. Great-Grandfather, if Second Brother shows any unusual signs, please let me know too. Once I think of a way to treat him, I’ll return to the capital directly."

Upon hearing that Grandpa Zhuo was returning to the city, Xiao Yu gave him some instructions.

About his second brother's illness, at present, all he could do was wait for himself or his Yin-Yang Life and Death Eye to recover. Otherwise, he had no other remedies whatsoever.
