Hot Search Alert! The Princess Goes Viral Worldwide-Chapter 95

Gu Ruozhu knew that after Gu Nanyan was exposed, the director and others would surely rush over, and standing by the door wouldn’t be convenient for her.

She needed to find a safe place to quietly enjoy Gu Nanyan’s humiliation.

There was an empty classroom next door, so Gu Ruozhu slipped inside, closed the door, excitedly stomped her feet, and pulled out her phone to watch the live stream.

Chairman Tian was the head of the Chinese Medicine Association—a highly respected, senior authority in the field, known and revered nationwide. Rumor had it that Chairman Tian was upright but hot-tempered, with zero tolerance for deceit.

Seeing Gu Nanyan’s fraudulent act, he would surely tear her apart.

Gu Ruozhu rubbed her hands together, barely able to wait to witness Gu Nanyan’s downfall.

Placing her phone on the desk, she held her breath and clicked on the live stream.

Hehe, Gu Nanyan must be utterly dejected and desperate by now.

However, the scene that greeted her was nothing like what she had imagined—no chaos, no disgrace, not even a trace of panic.

Gu Nanyan was still calmly teaching the online audience health-preservation exercises, her movements unhurried and composed.

And Chairman Tian?

Gu Ruozhu was baffled. Where was he?

Had he gone to the wrong room? No, she had seen him enter with her own eyes!

Unable to wait any longer, Gu Ruozhu rushed out and barged into the live-streaming classroom.

The moment she entered, she saw Chairman Tian huddled in a corner, eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Gu Nanyan, mimicking her movements.

He muttered to himself while practicing, clapping excitedly at particularly thrilling parts.

He seemed to have countless questions for Gu Nanyan but, for some reason, didn’t dare approach her, acting almost timidly.

Gu Ruozhu gritted her teeth in frustration. What the hell was this old man doing?

Wasn’t he supposed to expose Gu Nanyan? Why was he studying her instead?

Just as her patience was about to snap, Gu Nanyan paused to rest.

Chairman Tian seized the opportunity to approach.

Gu Ruozhu clenched her fists, trembling with anticipation. Go on, expose her!

But instead of the slap she had envisioned, Chairman Tian scurried over and handed Gu Nanyan a bottle of water, his expression ingratiating. "Drink this—it’s cool. I bought it on the way."

Hearing this, Gu Ruozhu suddenly remembered how Chairman Tian had insisted on stopping at a convenience store earlier.

She had assumed he was buying it for himself, but no—it was for Gu Nanyan!

While netizens had heard of Chairman Tian’s reputation, few had seen him in person. When the scrawny old man appeared on the live stream, they began asking:

[Who’s this?]

[Looks so obsequious, haha, even buying water for Empress Yan.]

[Damn, that’s Chairman Tian from the Chinese Medicine Association!]

Nan Xi, worried the audience wouldn’t recognize him, quickly spread word of Chairman Tian’s prestige online.

Soon, everyone knew this wiry old man was the legendary head of the Chinese Medicine Association.

[Wow, it’s really Chairman Tian! Why is he here?]

[No idea, but let’s all quiet down and watch closely.]

Nan Xi sat back in her chair, arms crossed, smirking coldly at the live stream.

In her eyes, Gu Nanyan’s days were numbered—this was merely her last moment of glory before plummeting into an abyss.

Hmph, she couldn’t wait to see Gu Nanyan’s miserable downfall.

On his way here, Chairman Tian had done his research on Gu Nanyan and, like the netizens, had taken to calling her "Empress Yan."

Hearing this, Gu Nanyan raised an eyebrow.

She glanced at Chairman Tian indifferently. "And you are?"

Chairman Tian immediately introduced himself. "I’m Tian Chengwang. Empress Yan can just call me Old Tian."

Old Tian?!

Gu Ruozhu at the door nearly tripped over her own feet. The revered Chairman Tian, whom everyone in the medical world addressed with utmost respect, was humbly referring to himself as "Old Tian" in front of Gu Nanyan!

Had the old man lost his mind?

Gu Nanyan had never met or heard of Chairman Tian, but she was skilled at reading people.

With a brief glance, she roughly deduced his identity.

"You’re a doctor."

Chairman Tian nodded eagerly. "Yes, I’m a physician. I apologize for intruding, Empress Yan, but I’m deeply fascinated by the health-preservation exercises you’re teaching. Could you explain them in more detail?"

Gu Nanyan nodded. "Certainly."

The audience was stunned.

[Chairman Tian seems genuinely interested. Could Empress Yan’s exercises really be the legendary Tongtian Health-Preservation Technique?]

[My heart’s racing with excitement!]

[Did you notice how humble Chairman Tian is? It’s like he’s in awe of Empress Yan.]

Gu Ruozhu at the door was utterly dumbfounded, her mouth gaping like a frog’s.

Nan Xi, watching the live stream, kicked her chair over in fury.

What was happening?

What was Chairman Tian doing?

Could the exercises actually be the Tongtian Health-Preservation Technique?

Impossible!

Nan Xi swiftly dismissed the thought. Absolutely not.

The Tongtian Health-Preservation Technique was the legendary qigong practiced by Princess Zhenguo of Great Qi, lost for over a millennium.

Emperors and rulers throughout history had sought it—none succeeded.

Gu Nanyan was just a country bumpkin—uneducated, untalented, a nobody. How could she possibly know the Tongtian Health-Preservation Technique?

Chairman Tian must be senile. Instead of exposing Gu Nanyan, he was fawning over her made-up exercises.

Just a few random moves, completely fabricated! And these gullible netizens were actually following along—didn’t they fear harming themselves?

As Chairman Tian and Gu Nanyan grew more engrossed in their conversation, Nan Xi couldn’t take it anymore. She stormed over.

"Chairman Tian, what brings you here?" Nan Xi tilted her head, smiling sweetly.

She had met Chairman Tian before through her father and was on familiar terms with him.

Chairman Tian nodded at her. "I watched Empress Yan’s live stream—it was incredible. I couldn’t resist coming. I hope I’m not intruding."

"Not at all! You’re a master of Chinese medicine," Nan Xi replied, steering the topic toward the exercises. "Chairman Tian, are you curious about the health-preservation techniques too? People online are saying Empress Yan’s teaching the Tongtian Health-Preservation Technique. Is that true?"

If no one else would bring it up, she would.

Chairman Tian laughed heartily, his excitement palpable. "It’s hard to say for sure—it hasn’t been verified yet."

Nan Xi smirked triumphantly, ready to pounce—

Then Chairman Tian added, "But there’s a very strong possibility it is the Tongtian Health-Preservation Technique!"

The moment those words left his mouth, the internet exploded.

It might actually be the real thing!

Though ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‍the rumors had spread wildly before, everyone knew it was just a meme—until now.

Hearing Chairman Tian’s confirmation that Gu Nanyan’s exercises could indeed be the legendary technique sent waves of frenzy across the web.

The hashtag #EmpressYanTongtianHealthPreservationTechnique skyrocketed to the top of trending lists.

Discussions erupted everywhere.

Previously, the live stream had been popular, but its reach was mostly limited to entertainment circles. Now, with an endorsement from a medical heavyweight, the exercises had broken into the medical world.

The Chinese Medicine Association followed Gu Nanyan. The Health Preservation Association followed Gu Nanyan. Capital Hospital followed Gu Nanyan. The First Medical College of Hua Country followed Gu Nanyan…

This matter is no longer just an issue within the entertainment industry—it now involves traditional Chinese medicine and history.
