Chapter 139: 139 The Master of All Skills! Three Kneels and Nine Kowtows Begging Sister Lan [1 Update]

Old Master Sai’s bloodstain on the white sheets was shockingly conspicuous, and the guards quickly approached with a rustling sound.

However, Ye Wanlan was not as fearful as Madam Sai had imagined; she first calmly pulled out the golden needles from Old Master Sai’s body.

She then heated them with fire before putting the golden needles back into their long case.

After all was done, Ye Wanlan’s gaze finally fell on Madam Sai, "Step aside."

"Step aside?" Madam Sai let out a cold laugh, "You think you can murder my father and then just leave? No way!"

She had long suspected that this woman from Shenzhou had ill intentions!

"You’re so concerned about your father, yet the moment you came in, you tried to capture me without checking on your father’s condition," Ye Wanlan said unhurriedly. "Are you truly concerned, or is it just for show?"

Madam Sai’s expression changed, and she shouted again, "Take her!"

Ye Wanlan picked up the long case and walked straight out of the sickroom.

She came without anyone stopping her.

She left without anyone being able to keep her.

Yan Tingfeng had been waiting outside; although there were many Sai family guards around him, they still couldn’t get close to him.

Seeing her come out, he finally smiled, "Shall we go?"

"Mhm," Ye Wanlan nodded, "What about the professors?"

"They have already been sent to the hotel first," Yan Tingfeng extended his hand towards her, "Let’s go too."

Ye Wanlan didn’t stand on ceremony but placed her hand in his cold palm.

The two completely ignored the surrounding guards, lightly leaped onto the wall a meter high and then jumped down, blatantly leaving the place.

"..."

The entire estate fell silent, with disbelief on the faces of the Sai family guards.

"Shenzhou kung fu? The legendary qinggong?"

"Hasn’t it been lost, only existing in martial arts novels?"

"You idiots! How could you not even hold a single person?" scolded Madam Sai furiously, "Issue an arrest warrant immediately! Put out a wanted notice within Wanta Country, before they flee back to Shenzhou!"

"Yes, Madam," the Chief Guard hastily replied.

At this moment, Sai Xiuya rushed over with the guard team, his eyes ice-cold: "What happened?"

"Isn’t it because of that person from Shenzhou?" Madam Sai responded coolly, "Xiuya, you’re responsible for the agreement you signed."

"Young Family Head!" Steward Sai suddenly exclaimed, "You, you have to come see this..."

Sai Xiuya passed by Madam Sai and entered the sickroom.

What he saw made him startle with shock.

Because he saw Old Master Sai’s hand actually moved, clearly having a reaction to the outside world.

The data on the monitors showed a distinct improvement, proving that Old Master Sai’s health was getting better.

And before this, not a single divine doctor from Global Center could achieve this!

The Miss Ye who had come from Shenzhou actually possessed miraculous abilities.

Sai Xiuya then asked, "What exactly happened just now?"

"Madam drove out the honorable guest..." Steward Sai stammered, recounting the events that had transpired.

Sai Xiuya sharply turned to the stupefied Madam Sai, restraining his anger, "Madam Sai, what are you doing? Are you trying to commit patricide?"

This Madam Sai wasn’t his birth mother, but his father’s second wife; his own mother had died shortly after his birth.

Madam Sai’s gaze shifted evasively, "I heard the alarm from the monitor and worried about grandfather’s health. You agreed to let that person from Shenzhou treat him based solely on a verbal agreement, which is truly worrisome."

"Then what do you see now?" Sai Xiuya said with a chilling expression, "She was in there for a few minutes and caused grandfather’s body to respond. If you hadn’t meddled recklessly, grandfather would have already regained consciousness!"

Madam Sai’s heart chilled, and she showed a hint of fear on her face, "I, I..."

"Steward, come with me to find Miss Ye," Sai Xiuya pressed his temples, "Only she can save grandfather now, and we must get her back at any cost."

He truly had not anticipated Ye Wanlan’s capabilities, let alone expected Madam Sai to bungle things so badly!

Sai Xiuya had no time to exchange another word with Madam Sai; he left in haste with the guard team.

Meanwhile, at a five-star hotel at that very moment.

This hotel was owned by people from Shenzhou and was one of the safest places in Wanta Country.

"So we just leave like this?" Xiang Lefeng was still somewhat perplexed, "What about the jade raw stone?"

"I hold the cards now, so why shouldn’t I leave?" Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "Did they really think they could take advantage of me?"

Indeed, Old Master Sai was under a curse that only a Taoist physician could treat.

Just now, she had used the golden needles to expel the stagnant blood from Old Master Sai’s body, ensuring that during the exorcism, his body would be able to withstand it.

"Holding the cards?" Xiang Lefeng was even more confused.

He found he simply couldn’t keep pace with Ye Wanlan’s line of thinking.

Hearing this, Yan Tingfeng gave a very light laugh, "Currently, only Miss Ye can save Old Master Sai; their Young Family Head won’t miss this opportunity."

"I think Old Master Sai’s coma is their own family’s doing," Professor Xue huffed, "and now they want to pin this responsibility on Wanlan. They’ve really got some nerve!"

"Exactly," Professor Foo agreed. "If they bully Wanlan, we simply won’t treat him!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Professor Xue fiercely stomped on Professor Foo’s foot.

"We still need to treat him," Ye Wanlan swirled her wine glass. "It all depends on how sincere they are. I need to take care of some company affairs first."

She nodded to the people present, picked up her laptop, and entered the room.

Xiang Yuefeng finally understood every move Ye Wanlan had made and felt a shiver in his heart. Patting his chest, he said, "Thank goodness I’m an absolutely upright person and not Miss Ye’s enemy."

With his intelligence, he probably wouldn’t have seen it coming until he was already knocked out.

Yan Tingfeng’s eyelashes twitched slightly; he sipped his tea without responding, but his thoughts were rapidly processing.

On Ye Wanlan, he sensed something dangerous and mysterious, yet at the same time, somewhat familiar.

As if it were an old adversary he had once crossed paths with.

But now, three hundred years had passed; the dead were dead, the gone were gone, who could he still call an old friend?

Yan Tingfeng gently touched the area where his heart was, smiling with a sigh.

He only hoped that his body could hold out long enough.

**

Inside the room, Ye Wanlan was on a call with Cheng Qingli.

"Sister Lan, the first batch of ancient-method gold jewelry has been put into production," Cheng Qingli said. "We’ve adopted a reservation system, and the current reservations have reached two hundred thousand. Due to the overwhelming number, the reservation channel has been closed."

"Hmm," Ye Wanlan nodded. "It’s indeed more than I expected. Once the first batch of ancient-method jewelry is on the market, we’ll continue to hire and expand production."

"There’s also good news. At the end of August, there’s an international fashion show in Yunjing that has extended us a last-minute invitation," Cheng Qingli said excitedly. "Jiang Xulin has started designing new clothes, Sister Lan. This is a great opportunity for us to reach a new level."

Ye Wanlan: "Good, keep on top of the fashion show. Once I get the new jade raw stones from Wanta Country, we can proceed with our haute couture line."

The call ended, and her phone "dinged" again.

Ye Wanlan tapped into the group chat.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Guys, I’ve been assigned to go on an outside job in Wanta Country again, sigh. I really don’t want to go there; too much hassle!

[YN]: It certainly is.

Ye Wanlan pondered, wondering if she would come across a person in beggar’s clothes on the street.

[World’s Richest]: [Exclusive Red Packet for YN] x100

[Ghostbuster Bro]: ???

Ye Wanlan clicked to receive, her account once again receiving several zeros.

She fell silent, feeling the urge to rob a bank for the first time.

But she was a law-abiding citizen, and she needed to be a righteous person.

**

In the afternoon.

The Sai Family acted quickly; within three hours, they had found the hotel where Ye Wanlan was staying.

"Well, that was quick," Xiang Yuefeng rubbed his chin. "Seems like they’re really in a hurry."

But if Wanlan hadn’t deliberately let the information slip, the Sai Family would never have found her, even if they searched the entire Wanta Country.

Ye Wanlan spoke indifferently: "Let him in."

"Right away," Miao Lun went out and brought Steward Sai in.

"Respected Miss Ye, we are truly sorry for this morning’s incident," Steward Sai bowed. "We would like to ask you to continue treating the old master. You can make any demands."

"I can," Ye Wanlan finally looked up. "Tell your Madam, since she so adores the Ning Dynasty from three hundred years ago, then let’s follow the rules from three hundred years ago."

Steward Sai was clearly puzzled but still asked respectfully, "May I know what you mean?"

"A purifying bath and incense burning, three prostrations and nine kowtows," Ye Wanlan said calmly. "Prepare ten thousand taels of gold as a request for my protection and blessing."

At these words, the color drained from Steward Sai’s face.

But, remembering Sai Xiuya’s death order, he suppressed his anger: "Three prostrations and nine kowtows?"

Ye Wanlan’s eyebrows lifted, and she raised her voice: "If there is any deviation from the steps you followed three hundred years ago when making tribute to Shenzhou, I will be very displeased."

Xiang Yuefeng slowly exhaled, mentally applauding: "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

In just one day, the situation was completely reversed.

The Sai Family was now on the defensive, obliged to concede and provide greater benefits.

"Miss Ye, if I may be so bold, we are still in Wanta Country," Steward Sai said. "By doing this, do you really intend to tear down face completely?"

The Five Major Families of Wanta Country had legacies spanning hundreds of years.

Back when the Ning Dynasty was in power, the Sai family was extraordinarily wealthy, and the Sai Family Head at the time had even traveled to Shenzhou and met with the Emperor of the Ning Dynasty.

"Have you considered what you would do if you got what you want but couldn’t leave Wanta Country?" Steward Sai’s eyes flashed coldly. "I’ve heard an old saying in Shenzhou, ’Even a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake.’ Miss Ye, perhaps you shouldn’t be so headstrong."

"You say a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake?" Ye Wanlan smiled. "That’s because they’re not strong enough."

And she, was unreasonable!
