A girl in a green robe appeared, moving with the wind. Her body technique resembled a graceful dance in the breeze, with every movement emanating the aura of a young girl. Her long dress fluttered, and her waterfall-like hair was gently tied with a pink ribbon, as if a fairy had descended to earth, strikingly beautiful.

"Yao Lingshan? It really is you..."

Ye Tianfan remembered that when he left the Ye Family's Ancient Mansion, Yao Lingshan was only fifteen or sixteen years old, still a young girl just out of the boudoir. In the blink of an eye, three years had passed, and she had changed so much!

Yao Lingshan bounced around playfully, arriving before Ye Tianfan, crinkling her nose and asking, "Are you happy to see me?"

"Ha... happy..."

Ye Tianfan's mouth twitched. Did he dare say he wasn't happy?

This little girl, Yao Lingshan, was full of mischief! From childhood to now, she had tricked him many times!

He remembered how, as children, they snuck into the Medicine King Valley's backyard, and Yao Lingshan picked a red wild fruit for Ye Tianfan to eat.

Who would have known that while the fruit was indeed sweet, after eating it, his lips swelled up like sausages, needing several weeks to heal.

This girl, leveraging her keen sense for herbs, often made Ye Tianfan suffer.

But because of this, by the age of seven, Ye Tianfan was knowledgeable about all kinds of herbs! Whether it was the material or temperament of the herbs, Ye Tianfan became quite familiar, all due to the torturous lessons from Yao Lingshan.

"So... Lingshan, why have you come to Jiangzhou City? You're not here just for me, are you?"

Ye Tianfan cautiously asked.

Yao Lingshan smiled slightly, pulled out a pitch-black pill from her bosom, and offered it to Ye Tianfan, saying, "Here, this is a new medicine I've just developed. Want to try a bite?"

Seeing the pill in Yao Lingshan's hand, Ye Tianfan's mouth twitched again. He had been Yao Lingshan's guinea pig since childhood, suffering much at her hands, but this pill was particularly strange!

Generally, pills were round, but this triangular pill in Yao Lingshan's hand was something else entirely!

Though she might be genuine, the medicine surely wasn't!

"Let... let's forget it... this medicine..."

Yao Lingshan's big watery eyes glared at him, and she said, "What are you scared for? You're the young master of the Ye Family, immune to all poisons by now. You've eaten my medicines since childhood, how can you become more cowardly as you grow?"

Saying this, Yao Lingshan stepped forward, trying to push the pill into Ye Tianfan's mouth.

Thankfully, the Ghost Servant intervened just in time: "Miss Yao, please don't trouble our young master..."

Yao Lingshan raised a brow, looked at the Ghost Servant, and asked, "I haven't even asked you yet! With the strict rules of the Ye Family, how did you manage to come out?"

"Elder Ye went to the Medicine King Valley to play chess... I heard you sneaked out, so I was sent to bring you back..."

Yao Lingshan frowned and said, "I'm not going back."

"Miss Yao... please don't make it difficult for me... the old servant..."

Seeing the situation, Ye Tianfan promptly joined in, "Indeed, don't make it hard for the Ghost Servant, just go back obediently. Otherwise, if your grandfather gets angry... you'll be in for it."

If Elder Ye was considered old-fashioned, then the old Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley was even more so!

The Yao Family's rule was that a woman must not leave the Medicine King Valley before marriage!

Yao Lingshan was clearly spoiled by the old Valley Master, not caring about family rules at all!

Yao Lingshan pouted in frustration, hands on her hips, and said, "I'm simply not going back! I came to Jiangzhou City for urgent business this time!"

Ye Tianfan frowned. Yao Lingshan had lived in the Medicine King Valley her entire life, leading an isolated existence and having no contact with the outside world. In coming to Jiangzhou City out of the blue, she was bound to cause trouble. He quickly said, "You're a girl, not staying properly in the Medicine King Valley, what important business could you have here?"

"Hmph!"

Yao Lingshan rolled her eyes at Ye Tianfan, saying, "I just want to see what the woman you're betrothed to looks like!"

"What?"

Ye Tianfan's mouth dropped open in shock, cursing to himself how everything was related to Qin Ruomeng?

It seemed his grandfather was wise to keep him away from the elite families!

Qin Ruomeng was like a magnet for trouble! With her around, all kinds of trouble would be drawn in!

"Why do you want to see her? Stop fooling around and go back with the Ghost Servant." Ye Tianfan said impatiently, waving his hand.

"No! I want to see how many heads she has!"

"One head!"

The Ghost Servant barely got the words out before meeting Yao Lingshan's resentful gaze.

Yao Lingshan knew very well that people only have one head, but she was simply indignant.

Having grown up in the Medicine King Valley, Yao Lingshan had barely interacted with any men outside the Yao Family. Her mind was quite traditional. Growing up with Ye Tianfan, they were childhood friends, innocent companions! She thought Ye Tianfan would be her destined one and waited for his proposal.

But recently, Yao Lingshan had suddenly learned that Ye Tianfan already had a fiancée arranged by their families in Jiangzhou City!

And the engagement had been set even before she was born.

This news drove Yao Lingshan mad! She snuck out, disregarding her family's rules, even breaking through the Mysterious Eight Trigrams Array to escape.

With such a strong grudge, there was no way a single word from the Ghost Servant could bring her back.

"Miss Yao... I think you'd better return with the old servant, or if the master holds me accountable, I won't be able to... explain." The Ghost Servant said, looking troubled.

Yao Lingshan angrily glared at the Ghost Servant, saying, "Ghost Servant, if you manage to take me back to the Medicine King Valley today, I'll change my surname!"

"You're making it difficult for the old servant..."

The Ghost Servant pleaded, casting a helpless look at Ye Tianfan.

But Ye Tianfan was also in no position to help; he understood Yao Lingshan's nature too well.

This girl, once her mind was set on something, wouldn't turn back even if hit by a brick wall. While others turn back after hitting the wall, she wouldn't stop until she broke through it!

Even if the old Valley Master of the Medicine King Valley came in person, it might not be enough to bring Yao Lingshan back.

Seeing the anxious expression on the Ghost Servant's face, Ye Tianfan sighed and said, "Alright, Ghost Servant, you should head back and tell the old Valley Master that Miss Yao is with me and everything is fine."

Hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the Ghost Servant gratefully nodded and said, "Thank you, young master, for understanding... I'll head back now..."

"Alright, you go." Ye Tianfan waved his hand, and the Ghost Servant's figure flickered before disappearing into the night.

Watching the Ghost Servant leave, Yao Lingshan's expression immediately changed, quickly revealing her playful and mischievous smile, as she promptly grabbed onto Ye Tianfan's arm.

"Come on, Brother Ye, show me where you live."

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan's face instantly turned awkward!

Where I live?

Oh, crap, Yan Feishuang is still lying there!

If Yao Lingshan saw her, it could turn deadly!
