What greeted the eyes of Nan Yan as it reflected in her sight was a wild man standing at a towering height of 2.5 meters, massive and robust in build???

His… or its body was covered in dense fur, with even a sparse layer of fuzz on its face, and its arms hung down near its knees, revealing a furry physique.

Presumably due to living among humans, the wild man was wearing clothes, looking somewhat out of place, but at least it covered the awkwardness.

At the first glance, just from the oppressive aura emanating from it, Nan Yan didn’t need to probe to be certain of the wild man’s strength, which was undoubtedly formidable.

Is this the spirit beast that Second Master just mentioned, guarding the underground medicinal garden?

Sun Chan beckoned and called the wild man over to him, “Bai Ze, let me introduce you. This is my disciple, Nan Yan. She will inherit the Hundred Herb Garden in the future. You should get to know her first.”

“Yanyan, the spirit beast’s name is Bai Ze, borrowing the name of the ancient auspicious beast Bai Ze. It is the guardian beast here, always protecting the Hundred Herb Garden.”

Sun Chan’s tone was full of gratitude towards Bai Ze. “Because of him, even if others in the sect covet the herbs here, they dare not forcefully seize them; they can only come to me.”

Nan Yan nodded and then addressed Bai Ze with great seriousness, “Bai Ze, hello. I’m Nan Yan, and I’m very glad to meet you.”

Bai Ze nodded in response and then extended its large fan-like hand, indicating that Nan Yan should shake hands with it.

As Sun Chan had mentioned earlier, aside from not being able to speak, Bai Ze’s intelligence was undoubtedly on par with humans, and it was even smarter than ordinary humans.

Living in the human world for these years had made its habits, behavior, and even facial expressions just like those of humans.

Nan Yan could tell that Bai Ze harbored no ill will towards her and even seemed to have a favorable impression of her.

Looking at the enormous hand extended in front of her, she raised her right hand to shake hands with it.

The contrast between the two hand sizes was like that of an adult and a child, somewhat staggering.

Afterward, Bai Ze released her hand and gestured for them to follow him.

The area of this underground garden was incomparable to the vast mountain valley outside, probably not even one twentieth of it.

However, the medicinal herbs cultivated here were all precious Chinese herbs that were priceless in the outside world, each one of them of inestimable value!

For a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, these herbs were undoubtedly more attractive than gold, silver, or precious gems. Nan Yan had the urge to dig up all these herbs…

Of course, it was just a fleeting thought.

Today, she spent the entire day in the Hundred Herb Garden, listening to Sun Chan explain how to grow herbs, improve their survival rate, and their quality…

Ji Yunmiao woke up again and found herself in an unfamiliar place.

She had been imprisoned several times these past few days, which had caused her to be a bit stressed, making her feel flustered.

She leaped out of bed, intending to go to the door, but it was locked. She turned around and looked at the window.

Luckily, the window was surprisingly unlocked. In her moment of desperation, she considered jumping out of the window to escape.

However, just as her leg crossed over the window sill, a sudden thought made her calm down.

This doesn’t make sense…

These people don’t recognize her at all!

When they brought her here, they even called her ‘Junior Sister’ or something like that.

So, these people must have mistaken her for someone else.

Coming to seize someone in front of the door of Sun Chan, the so-called ‘Junior Sister’…

Ji Yunmiao couldn’t help but realize that they were probably here to capture Nan Yan instead!

But what could they want with her?

Ji Yunmiao had many thoughts and was a daring gambler.

Fortune favors the bold, and seizing opportunities requires both courage and finesse.

For the sake of her future, she decided to take a gamble!

Originally, she was about to jump out of the window, but she retracted her leg, closed the window, and returned to her room.

Since she was already here, she wanted to see what these people wanted with her.

After waiting for about half an hour, she heard footsteps outside the door.

She looked towards the door, and her hands on her lap clenched tightly.

The door was opened, and several people walked in.

She recognized Dong Kai, who stood beside the old man with the white beard.

It was him who had kidnapped her.

The old man with the white beard frowned when he saw Ji Yunmiao and then turned to question Dong Kai, “Is this the person you brought back?”

“Yes, Master. She was outside Master Sun’s door at the time and asked us who we were with quite some arrogance…” Dong Kai looked at his master’s grim face, his voice getting smaller and smaller, and finally, he hesitantly asked, “Master, could we have caught the wrong person?”

Feng Zhengzhi slapped Dong Kai on the head, “You’re really stupid. You even managed to capture the wrong person.”

Dong Kai shrank his neck and didn’t dare to dodge. He bore the pain with a grimace.

Now Ji Yunmiao was even more certain that the person they were looking for was Nan Yan.

Looking at these people, they didn’t seem like heinous criminals, especially the elderly leader, who seemed to be highly respected.

Could it be that they were from the Divine Physician Hua’s sect?

One had to admit that Ji Yunmiao was really smart. They hadn’t said anything yet, but just from their meeting, she had a pretty good idea of what was going on.

Ji Yunmiao steadied her composure and asked without appearing subservient or overbearing, “May I ask who you are? Why have you brought me here?”

Feng Zhengzhi didn’t spare her a second glance and impatiently told Dong Kai,

“Since we’ve captured the wrong person, immediately send her back.”

Dong Kai bowed and replied, “Yes, Master.”

Feng Zhengzhi, with a stern face, walked towards the exit.

Ji Yunmiao stood up and stopped him, “Are you and Divine Physician Hua from the same sect?”

Feng Zhengzhi had originally intended to leave, but upon hearing Ji Yunmiao’s question, he suddenly turned around, “Who are you?”

He thought that the woman in front of him was just an ordinary person who had been mistakenly brought back by Dong Kai.

But her words indicated that she was aware of their sect as well!

Ji Yunmiao walked up to him, still composed and respectful, and said, “I am Ji

Youlin’s granddaughter, Ji Yunmiao.”

“So, you’re Ji Youlin’s granddaughter.”

Feng Zhengzhi clearly remembered Ji Youlin.

“But didn’t your grandfather leave the sect many years ago? How did you end up at Sun Chan’s door?”

Ji Yunmiao lowered her gaze and replied, “Because I impersonated a disciple of the Divine Physician and was caught by the real disciple.”

“She originally intended to give me trouble. However, when she met Master Sun Chan who out of respect for my grandfather, didn’t pursue the matter further. This is also taking into account my many years of error-free medical practice, which never brought shame to Divine Physician Hua’s reputation.”

She could tell from Feng Zhengzhi’s fragmented words that they had conflicts with Nan Yan.

If she hadn’t encountered him, she had planned to use Sun Chan as her breakthrough.

However, Sun Chan had a good relationship with Nan Yan, and her heart would definitely lean towards Nan Yan. Even if she tried her best to win him over, she would never surpass Nan Yan in his eyes.

In that case, she might as well find another backer.

Feng Zhengzhi, who had initially shown indifference, suddenly became alert upon hearing Ji Yunmiao’s words.

He asked in a deep voice, “Is your medical skills on par with that of Nan Yan?”
