Chapter 460: 460 Counterattack [2 more updates]

"The Su Family is, after all, successors of the Taiyi Palace, possessing the most elite medical power in Shenzhou. If the Su Family is gone, where would the seriously ill go for treatment?"

"Oh, I guess it’s because the show’s crew praised Ye Wanlan too highly. She’s lost touch with reality and doesn’t even know who she is anymore."

"It’s said to be a Forbidden Land; thus, it surely contains secrets. Could Ye Wanlan be a spy sent to steal these secrets?"

The common theme among most netizens was to blame Ye Wanlan for why she entered the Forbidden Land of the Su Family.

At that moment, however, there emerged a comment against the trend.

"You all must be crazy! I don’t know this guest named Ye Wanlan, but I do know what the Su Family really is!

I initially thought their limited daily appointments were due to lack of staff. However, after visiting the reception department, I found the Su Family people were just resting, with only a few apprentices receiving patients. They’re clearly just after more money, utterly disregarding human lives, and yet they dare claim they’re successors of the Taiyi Palace?"

Indeed, this comment quickly disappeared as if it had never been there.

Under the deliberate guidance of Su Ningxiang, many people had headed to the official account of "Treasures of The Divine Land" to demand a public apology from Ye Wanlan to the Su Family.

No one could have expected that such a grand household like the Su Family would devise such a petty and shallow scheme against an ordinary person in the public’s eye.

Meanwhile, in Medicine Valley, Su Family Supreme Elder was having a cheerful conversation with Xing Yue and Rong Qi.

Most of the time, it was Xing Yue talking and Rong Qi listening.

By the end, Rong Qi was somewhat headachy. He glanced up slightly, signaling that it was enough for today’s talk.

Xing Yue got the hint, "Senior Su, Little Rongrong and I have other matters to attend to, so we won’t bother you any longer. We’ll take our leave now."

"Go ahead, I also need some tranquil movement, thinking of taking a walk," the Su Family Supreme Elder smiled, "It just so happened that after exchanging talks with you, I feel enlightened and ready to resume my closed-door meditation."

Rong Qi nodded in acknowledgment and bid farewell to the Su Family Supreme Elder.

Once they left Medicine Valley and their electronic communication devices received signals, they had dozens of missed calls and several messages.

Rong Qi checked the messages and frowned, "Miss Ye wandered into the Forbidden Land?"

"What wandered, that Su character is definitely up to no good, knew she was trouble the moment I saw her," Xing Yue snorted coldly, "It’s just pity, she has no idea about Lanlan’s abilities. Think a mere Forbidden Land could trap Lanlan?"

Su Jinran’s plan was doomed to fail!

Following the path they came by, they regrouped with the director, Producer Liu, and other staff members of the program.

"Taoist Xing Yue, Young Master Rong Qi!" Seeing them, the director appeared as if he’d seen saviors, "The Su Family has already sent guards to search the edges of the Forbidden Land, but they still haven’t found Miss Ye. I heard that the deeper parts of this Forbidden Land are extremely dangerous!"

"Don’t worry, Director, Lanlan is fine," Xing Yue assured him, patting the director’s shoulder vigorously, "She’s surely wandering around inside. If you’re still worried, you can let Little Rongrong divine for you."

With that, she tapped her toes and quickly disappeared.

The director turned, staring blankly at Rong Qi.

Rong Qi flipped his wrist, revealing three copper coins in his palm, "The divination indicates no deaths or injuries in the Forbidden Land today, so do rest easy, Director."

The director sighed in relief but curiously asked, "Young Master Rong Qi, why did you specifically mention no deaths or injuries in the Forbidden Land and not directly about Miss Ye’s situation? Could it be because the divination couldn’t clarify?"

"Yes and no," Rong Qi shook his head as he stowed the coins.

Not everyone’s fate in this world can be divined, and the fates that can be divined are not necessarily set in stone.

Indeed, he could not fathom the fates of Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng, as they were laden with too much uncertainty.

This very uncertainty hinted at endless possibilities for both of them.

Thus, he could only use divination on the Forbidden Land to ensure Ye Wanlan’s safety.

Suddenly, the phone rang, bringing Rong Qi back to the moment. He stepped aside to answer the call.

"Hello, Xiao Qi, are you coming home for dinner today?" Su Yingxia asked cheerfully. "Your father is cooking for a change and has been mentioning you."

Before Rong Qi could respond, Rong Yu shouted from the other end, "Big brother, don’t flatter yourself. Mom and dad just miss Student Ye and Tingfeng. You don’t have to come, but bring Student Ye and Tingfeng back."

Rong Qi: "..."

He just knew it.

"Mom, something unexpected happened." Rong Qi pinched the bridge of his nose and briefly recounted the situation, "I won’t have time tonight."

After listening, Su Yingxia slammed the table, yelling, "How outrageous!"

Ye Wanlan was unharmed, but that did not mean the matter would be left unaddressed!

"I’m going to the Su Family now." Su Yingxia was considerably agitated, "They’re getting completely out of control!"

"Mom, you can come, but don’t rush," Rong Qi was calm, "Miss Ye might have other plans. If you act impulsively and ruin her plans, the loss would outweigh the gain."

"You’re right, Xiao Qi," Su Yingxia let out a breath, "I’ll go ahead and wait there."

**

In the Forbidden Land, Ye Wanlan picked the last of the poison plants she needed, placing it into a pre-prepared box that isolated its potency.

"I knew you’d definitely be lurking around here." Taoist Xing Yue’s voice fell from above, "Need help?"

"Just in time," Ye Wanlan arched an eyebrow, not surprised, "With you here, we can take more herbs out."

Taoist Xing Yue rubbed his hands together with gusto, "Leave it to me."

After the three of them headed out, Rong Qi took Su Yingxia with him and arrived as well.

"Ah Lan, you scared me to death." Su Yingxia was frightened in hindsight, "Don’t worry about what’s online; I’ve got Jingqiu learning to handle it."

"Online?" Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed slightly, guessing what had happened over the last few hours, and smiled, "No need to trouble yourself, I have professionals handling it."

Her Shengshi Entertainment had one of the strongest PR departments, adept at dealing with such matters.

"Who tricked you into going to the Forbidden Land?" Su Yingxia asked, "I’ll handle them for you!"

"It wasn’t a trick; I was kidnapped, but I dealt with it." Ye Wanlan nodded, "Sister Yingxia, have you ever been to the Forbidden Land?"

"To be honest, I haven’t," Su Yingxia slightly shook her head, "Because many years ago, I was already with Jingqiu. I’m not fully considered a Su Family person, even though I’m still one of the Third Elders, my power is much lesser than the other elders."

"No wonder," Ye Wanlan mused for a moment, slowly said, "Tingting and I discovered numerous poisons in the Forbidden Land that were thought to be extinct from the outside world, including the highly potent Heavenly Gang Earth Sha Wood."

Su Yingxia’s expression changed dramatically, "Really?!"

"Absolutely certain." Ye Wanlan paused, then asked, "If I may be so bold, Sister Yingxia, how many parts of the ’Taiyi Acupuncture Technique’ are you aware of?"

"I know of six parts," Su Yingxia did not conceal anything, "And the direct lineage descendants only learn three parts unless they are among the remaining core disciples."

"I’m ninety percent sure that all nine parts of the ’Taiyi Acupuncture Technique’ are well-preserved."

Su Yingxia’s expression changed again!

Even she did not know that the Su Family had hidden so many secrets.

But what was the Su Family hiding these secrets for?

"Su Ningxiang currently holds significant power, and the Hidden Guards throughout the Su Family defer to her," Su Yingxia took a deep breath, "It won’t be easy to contend with her."

Su Ningxiang’s talent was indeed very high or she wouldn’t be regarded at the same level as Lin Shiyuan.

At the latest, by the end of this year, the Su Family will hold the Family Head succession ceremony.

"Yes, I know," Ye Wanlan spoke casually, "So we need to wait for Xueqing to return. Only Xueqing can oust her from that position."

"Alright," Su Yingxia nodded deeply, "I will help her."

"This trip to the Forbidden Land was not entirely fruitless," Ye Wanlan said, "I got some herbs, and Tingting’s illness can heal faster now."

Yan Tingfeng coughed a few times, meeting Su Yingxia’s scrutinizing gaze frankly.

Su Yingxia retracted her gaze and huffed coldly, "Ah Lan, I won’t feel right if I don’t confront them for you; you stay here and don’t show up yet."

"After all, in their eyes, I’m already dead," Ye Wanlan smiled slightly.

"The Su Family’s ancestral teachings are to save lives, not take them," Su Yingxia spoke coldly, "Whoever breaks this rule must pay the corresponding price."

Could she still not handle Su Jinran?
