Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 385: Do You Wish for Us to Reconcile?

Ning Nuan was encouraging with her words, but Yan Qianyi could feel that she didn’t believe in her medical skills at all.

"By the way, how are things going with you and Brother Ah Lie?" Ning Nuan asked.

Yan Qianyi smiled noncommittally, "Same as always."

"I think Grandpa Nangong really likes you now. He probably hopes that you and Brother Ah Lie will reconcile, right?" Ning Nuan inquired.

Yan Qianyi keenly caught a probing look in Ning Nuan’s eyes.

She really didn’t have the patience for Ning Nuan’s insincere niceties and directly countered, "Do you hope that we reconcile?"

The kind of people she least liked to deal with were those who smiled to your face while harboring hidden agendas.

Wouldn’t it be better to just be openly confrontational and straightforward?

There was a momentary stiffness in Ning Nuan’s smile.

She hadn’t expected Yan Qianyi to ask her that directly and failed to respond right away.

After a brief pause, she hurriedly nodded, "Of course, I hope you two reconcile."

"Really? I thought you didn’t want us to be together."

Yan Qianyi curved her lips into a smile, intending to speak her mind directly, not wanting to waste time with Ning Nuan’s pretenses.

"How could that be!" Ning Nuan blinked in bewilderment as she looked at Yan Qianyi.

"Didn’t I say before? I’ve always treated Ah Lie like a real brother, and he’s not getting any younger. Now that he’s finally willing to marry and spend the rest of his life with someone, I’m really happy for him. I truly hope you can be happy together because I really like you, and you are so capable."

Ning Nuan’s tone was very sincere, and her eyes were filled with honesty.

This made Yan Qianyi wonder if she had misjudged her with a cynic’s mind.

One must admit, Ning Nuan’s act was really top-notch!

At that moment, Pei Yuexuan returned.

Their hotel was nearby, not far away.

Seeing Pei Yuexuan, Yan Qianyi felt like she had seen a savior and quickly went up to meet him.

She really didn’t want to engage in meaningless conversation with Ning Nuan.

"Vice Officer Pei, thank you for the trouble."

Pei Yuexuan handed over the silver needle to Yan Qianyi, "It’s no trouble. We are friends after all, so don’t be so formal with me."

After Pei Yuexuan arrived, all the cadets who were sitting stood up.

Seeing Pei Yuexuan being so courteous and light-hearted towards Yan Qianyi, everyone’s eyes widened in surprise.

After all, he was someone who worked closely with the Commander and didn’t usually smile or speak freely; they were somewhat intimidated by Pei Yuexuan.

Yet they didn’t expect him to be so amiable in Yan Qianyi’s presence.

Ning Nuan also watched them with some confusion.

She hadn’t expected that Vice Officer Pei would be so familiar with Yan Qianyi, even becoming friends?

Could it be that Yan Qianyi already knew about Brother Ah Lie’s identity?

But the last time at the Nangong residence, when Yan Qianyi saw Brother Ah Lie in his military uniform and mask, she saluted, an indication that she was unaware of Brother Ah Lie’s identity.

Otherwise, why would she have had that reaction?

After Pei Yuexuan left, the cadets relaxed and started to inspect the item Yan Qianyi was holding, unsure of what Pei Yuexuan had brought.

They could only see the leather case.

Ning Nuan stepped forward to ask, "Qianyi, did you specifically prepare a scalpel? The competition has some of those."

Yan Qianyi said, "It’s not a scalpel, it’s a silver needle."

"Silver needle?!" Ning Nuan was very surprised, "You know how to use silver needles?"

"Yeah, learned a bit from Masked Divine Doctor."

Upon hearing this, the other students started to buzz again.

"Ever since Masked Divine Doctor started using silver needles, they’ve become so popular recently. I’ve seen many people imitating it online, but they’re all just scams. The only one who can really use silver needles is Masked Divine Doctor."

"I never expected Masked Divine Doctor to teach her own secret technique to someone else!"

"They seem to have a good relationship. I’ve seen Masked Divine Doctor’s live stream; she said she and Yan Qianyi are friends."

"But even the best of friends wouldn’t teach others their secret skills, right? After all, that’s how they make their living."

"That’s right, maybe she just taught her a little bit of the basics, which is not very useful."

"I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. Masked Divine Doctor is so powerful, she doesn’t lack money. She had been reclusive before, and it was only because of Yan Qianyi’s invitation that she went to Yan’s hospital to see patients. They have such a good relationship; maybe Yan Qianyi really did become her disciple."

Hearing everyone’s discussion, Ning Nuan asked Yan Qianyi again, "Did you become a disciple of Masked Divine Doctor?"

Yan Qianyi gave a noncommittal smile, "I suppose you could say that."

At this moment, the announcement over the broadcast instructed the Medical Department students to take the stage.

The Medical Department competition involved each participant entering a room with lab mice as the subjects of their experiments.

Cameras were installed in the rooms to display the students’ operations to people all over the world.

On the light screens above the spectator seats, the students’ entry was being displayed.

When Yan Qianyi appeared on the screen, Queen Andelle was startled and asked Prince Yao beside her, "Qianyi is also participating in the Medical Department competition? Why haven’t I heard her mention this before?"

Prince Yao was also somewhat at a loss, "I’m not sure, she didn’t tell me either, perhaps she was a last-minute addition."

Other viewers were also surprised to see Yan Qianyi.

Just a moment ago, she had made a deep impression in the Special Department competition.

Now she was appearing in the Medical Department competition!

A student participating in two different tracks was unheard of in history.

After all, everyone specialized in their own field to excel to the highest degree.

Sitting next to Queen Andelle and Prince Yao were Commanders from various nations.

One of them spoke up: "Are there no more medics left in the Federation Empire? They actually let a student from the Special Department participate in a medical skills competition."

The tone was full of mockery.

Mu Yunlie watched Yan Qianyi being examined on the big screen; his lips thinly parted, his voice was chilling, "Is there a rule that a student cannot participate in two tracks?"

The man chuckled, "Of course, they can. I’m just curious, doesn’t the Federation Empire, touted as the Universe’s strongest nation, have any more talent?"

No one present believed that a person could have outstanding performances in two different tracks.

After all, such a thing had never happened before.

They assumed it was because the Federation Empire’s medical soldiers were lacking, so they found someone from the Special Department to make up the numbers.

Mu Yunlie’s fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of his seat, "There’s no need for you to worry about that."

His voice was lazy but carried an undeniable assertion of authority.

The man picked up on the cold-faced Commander’s hint to shut up and did not say any more.

However, another nation’s Commander spoke up, "Prince Yao, I heard that this student is your younger sister?"

Prince Yao nodded slightly, "Yes, she is."

"Why didn’t you bring your sister with you when you changed your nationality? Her Spiritual Power Value is so high. If you had taken her with you at the time, today she would be standing here for the Morris Empire, not the Federation Empire."
