Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

If it were Shenzhou from three hundred years ago, she would have certainly held it in high regard, with a measure of respect.

But now?

Skills that have been lost, cultural relics that can't be properly preserved, having been long overtaken by the Northern Lands and the Starman Federal Empire, let alone compared to the Global Center.

Madam Sai has never held Shenzhou in any regard.

Not to mention, this time Old Master Sai's illness had already been examined by several renowned doctors around the world, and there was no known cure, only to leave it to fate.

A girl who doesn't even look to be twenty, could she possibly have any methods?

Madam Sai's words and gaze were filled with mockery and disdain, which immediately enraged Xiang Lefeng. He was just about to roll up his sleeves and step forward when his shoulder was held back by a hand.

The force wasn't strong, yet it prevented him from advancing.

Xiang Lefeng turned around in astonishment.

"Indeed, it is no longer three hundred years ago," Ye Wanlan spoke slowly, "Three hundred years ago, you were still paying tribute to the Ning Dynasty."

"..."

There was a brief silence in the magnificent hall.

Madam Sai's face instantly turned ashen, "Someone, seize her, this uncultured wretch! This place is not Shenzhou, how dare you behave so insolently here?"

The guards, having received the order, promptly stepped forward, their cold gazes fixed on Ye Wanlan.

Ye Wanlan remained unmoved, simply rolling up her sleeves.

The middle-aged boss, who had witnessed Ye Wanlan's capabilities, was startled and hastily spoke up, "Madam Sai, I stake my life in a guarantee that this guest from Shenzhou absolutely has genuine skills. Please believe me, if she fails, you can take my life!"

But even as he spoke, he himself was unsure.

After all, the Sai family's patriarch had been unconscious for a week; aside from vital signs, there was virtually no difference between him and a dead person.

Several formidable names on the Divine Doctor List of the Global Center had failed to save Old Master Sai!

"Oh?" Madam Sai raised her hand, signalling for the guards to step back. She narrowed her eyes and stared at the middle-aged boss for a few seconds, "Miao Lun, is that you?"

"Yes, yes, Madam Sai, you still remember me." Miao Lun bowed and nodded, "I was worried about the old master's illness, so I invited a guest from Shenzhou. Shenzhou is the birthplace of the Taiyi Medical Skills, perhaps..."

Madam Sai coldly regarded Ye Wanlan, then suddenly smiled, "Fine, I'll allow you to treat the old master, but you must sign a military order beforehand. If anything happens to the old master during your treatment..."

The guards stepped forward again, their murderous aura boiling.

"You will have to pay the corresponding price," Madam Sai smiled with a curve of her lips, "By entering the Sai family's domain, even if you are from the Xiang Family of Shenzhou, you all will have to leave something behind!"

Hearing this, Xiang Lefeng's anger flared even more.

But seeing that Yan Tingfeng and Ye Wanlan didn't show any emotional turmoil, he forcefully suppressed it.

"Agreed," said Ye Wanlan calmly, "but if I manage to awaken Old Master Sai, from then on, you will only be able to provide me with jade materials and no other person or power may do so." Chapter source: My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L4EMPYR).

Madam Sai frowned, "You're here for the jade materials? The Sai family has many businesses, how could we just because of you—"

"Agreed!" A clear voice rang out, "As long as you can save my grandfather, the Sai family will agree to anything you ask."

The voice came before the man.

In the next second, footsteps sounded, and a young, handsome man quickly approached.

Miao Lun lowered his voice to introduce him to Ye Wanlan, "My lady, this is the direct eldest grandson of the Sai family, and the next head of the family, Sai Xiuya."

Ye Wanlan hummed in acknowledgment, "Does he call the shots for the Sai family's affairs?"

"That's the current situation," Miao Lun said, "With the old master unconscious and his father having passed away a few years ago, he's the one in charge."

Only then did Ye Wanlan raise her head to look at Sai Xiuya and said indifferently, "Very well, since both parties have reached a consensus, let's sign the agreement."

"No problem," Sai Xiuya spoke up, "Steward, prepare the writing materials."

Madam Sai did not stop this.

Because in her view, there was no hope for Old Master Sai to recover.

Ye Wanlan reviewed the agreement, and after confirming there were no errors, she signed her name.

"Miss Ye, is it?" Sai Xiuya's lips bore a smile, "Then please stay at the Sai residence tonight, and treat my grandfather early tomorrow morning."

He then instructed the steward, "Prepare a guest room for Miss Ye and her friends, and treat them with the highest courtesy."

Immediately, servants stepped forward to take Ye Wanlan and her companions to their lodging.

"There must be demons when things are abnormal," Xiang Lefeng furrowed his brows, "Why is the Sai family's heir so respectful to us?"

"His grandfather was confirmed to be untreatable by several doctors, only waiting to die. At this point, whoever comes, he has to try," Yan Tingfeng faintly coughed, chuckling softly, "Besides, Miss Ye—"

"Besides, I signed an agreement with him that is all benefit and no harm to him," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "If Old Master Sai wakes up, then the Sai family is revitalized; if Old Master Sai dies, it was already anticipated, and even then they can pin the blame on me, seeking even greater benefits."

Xiang Lefeng shuddered with realization, "Isn't that making you a fall guy?"

"Using me as a fall guy?" Ye Wanlan seemed to laugh, "Then I am very much looking forward to meeting such a person."

Otherwise, if everything went smoothly, it would be a bit too uninteresting.

"Little Xiang, you are foolish," Professor Xue regained his composure as well, "Your talk about being used as a pawn is based on the premise that Old Master Sai won't wake up, but what if he does?"

Xiang Lefeng's expression froze, and he instantly widened his eyes, looking at Ye Wanlan in disbelief: "You...You know medical science?!"

"Yes," Professor Foo snapped back to reality, nudging Professor Xue's waist with his elbow, "Do you guys Wanlan also understand medicine?"

Professor Xue: "…Can you shut up, please!"

"But you really are too good-natured," Xiang Lefeng shook his head, "Just now, Madam Sai said those things, and you didn't even get angry."

"My goal is the jade raw stone. After getting the mine, then we can talk about other things," Ye Wanlan said calmly, "If I didn't have that much tolerance, wouldn't everything be able to anger me to death."

She still remembered the negotiation with a general from the Northern Lands, when his sword was even poised at her neck.

But when it concerned the diplomatic relations between two countries, one couldn't act impulsively.

For someone aspiring to achieve great things, forbearance is the most basic requirement.

Sai Xiuya had prepared an entire courtyard for them, which was quite a comfortable and peaceful environment.

"These are the medical records of Old Master Sai provided by the Sai Family," Ye Wanlan placed the medical records on the table, "Young Master Yan, do you have any thoughts?"

Yan Tingfeng looked down: "It should be an evil affliction."

"Yes," Ye Wanlan nodded in agreement, "It's not an accident but man-made, and purely using medical skills indeed won't wake Old Master Sai."

"You mean to say that Old Master Sai has been afflicted with some sort of Art and Method?" Xiang Lefeng pondered, "The Art and Methods of Wanta Country seem to also originate from our Shenzhou."

"Relieving the symptoms of evil affliction isn't too difficult, but it requires the right remedy," Ye Wanlan said, "Once I see Old Master Sai tomorrow, I'll know what to do."

**

Early the next morning, Miao Lun came to visit quite early.

He brought several people with him, who placed a number of snake leather bags on the ground.

Miao Lun flattered: "Sir, these are the Jade Pieces I've found, do you know which ones you need?"

One had to admit that the efficiency of the locals in Wanta Country was extremely high.

In these several bags of jade, many were the Jade Pieces from Princess Jingan's Gold Thread Jade Clothing.

Ye Wanlan spoke lightly: "Well done."

"You're too kind!" Miao Lun didn't dare take credit, "We've already said it, whatever you need, just ask."

"Since you guaranteed in front of the Sai Family that I could save Old Master Sai, you should also know—" Ye Wanlan suddenly turned her head, "If Old Master Sai really dies by my hand, your own life and fortune won't be spared either."

Miao Lun forced a smile: "Oh Lord, please don't talk like that, I brought you to the Sai Family, so of course, I've tied my life and fortune together with you."

"You are clever, but it's only a small cleverness," Ye Wanlan stood up, "Hopefully, in the future, you won't look down upon women again."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Miao Lun wished he could slap himself several times.

Half an hour later, Ye Wanlan entered Old Master Sai's sickroom.

On the sickbed, Old Master Sai's eyes were tightly closed.

Ye Wanlan carefully observed Old Master Sai's facial features, then tested his pulse.

The Shenzhou Land Continent was full of talented individuals, with the wisdom of the old ancestors still unsurpassed to this day.

Aside from the Taiyi Divine Doctor, there was another school of physicians in Shenzhou—

The Taoist physician.

Centered around the principles of the Tao Te Ching, supplemented with Taoist Arts, they encompassed Taoism culture.

The Palace Master of the Penglai Palace was a peak Taoist physician.

Those whom the Taiyi Divine Doctor could not save, a Taoist physician could also bring back from the brink of death.

While the Taiyi Divine Doctor healed the body, the Taoist physician treated the vitality, spirit, and soul.

To become a Taoist physician, one must first have a thorough understanding of Taoist Arts.

Ye Wanlan took out three Golden Needles from a long box, each inserted into one of Old Master Sai's acupuncture points.

The three Golden Needles trembled slightly, and Old Master Sai's body, as if it had gained sensation, also jolted.

The next second, Old Master Sai, who was in a coma, suddenly spat out a large mouthful of blood, but his pale complexion turned a bit rosier.

"Beep beep beep—"

At the same moment, the medical device suddenly emitted a shrill alarm.

"Bang!"

The door was kicked open at this instant.

"This person from Shenzhou maliciously attempted to murder my father," Madam Sai arrived with a group of guards, saying coldly, "Come, arrest her and take her to the Execution Grounds!"
