Reincarnation and Rebirth

Su Wan'er, who was in the hall, was smiling as she received the 1,250 taels of silver from the shopkeeper. When she saw Lin Nanxing come out, she quickly handed him 500 taels of silver. "Grandpa Lin, here you go. This is the agreed-upon silver for the ginseng."

Lin Nanxing looked at the girl in front of him, his heart filled with complicated emotions. Did he really have to drag the girl into this vortex?

"Grandpa Lin, what's wrong?"

Well, whatever, let's ask the girl what she thinks first. Luckily, the business is closed today, and there are no outsiders in the hall right now. Lin Nanxing explained the identity of the old man inside and his relationship with him. Su Wan'er blinked. Why is Grandpa Lin telling her all this?

However, I don't seem to remember anyone named Zhu, the imperial physician.

Now that he had already spoken, Lin Nanxing stopped hesitating and asked directly, "Wan'er, my senior brother wants to take you as his disciple. Are you willing? In his entire life, my senior brother has only given Zeyang as his disciple, who is the owner of Baicao Hall. He has never taken any disciples outside the sect. In fact, calling it a sect is an exaggeration. Our Xuanji Sect declined forty years ago. Now, apart from my senior brother, Zeyang, and me, there is no fourth person. So, Grandpa won't make things difficult for you. You can make the decision yourself."

Seeing Lin Nanxing's conflicted expression, Su Wan'er smiled and said, "Grandpa Lin, I'm afraid it's not as simple as just taking on a disciple."

Lin Nanxing wasn't surprised by Su Wan'er's question. This girl was smart and would definitely be able to guess the reason behind it.

“Girl, that’s true. However, if you’re not willing to join the sect, then there are some things I don’t want you to get involved in. If you’re not a member of the Xuanji Sect, there’s no need for you to get involved.”

"Is it related to that person in the capital?"

"Ah."

"Grandpa Lin, please take me to meet my future master."

Since Xiaobai said that her mission was related to Zixingchen, then, knowing yourself and your enemy will lead to victory in every battle. She believed in Grandpa Lin, and naturally she could also believe in Zhu Hongqi. Most importantly, she was very curious about what that secret book looked like, which they had been unable to understand for decades. Could it be a wordless book?

Upon entering the room, the stench of blood filled the air once more. Lin Nanxing's expression changed drastically, and she rushed to the bedside to check, "What happened? Why is there so much blood again?"

"Nanxing, it's okay, I just took the things out."

"You're still the same as when you were young, acting without considering the consequences. With such a big thing inside your body, aren't you uncomfortable?"

"Hehe, it's been inside my body for over a year now, so it doesn't hurt anymore."

"You, sigh..."

Zhu Hongqi turned his gaze to Su Wan'er. "Miss Su, I'm sure my junior brother has already told you. Are you willing to become my disciple? Don't worry, I'm currently a thorn in someone else's side, and I won't tell the world that you are my disciple."

Su Wan'er hurriedly picked up the teacup on the table, knelt down and said, "Master, please accept my bow."

The two old men in the room were stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Alright, alright, then I'll call you Wan'er. Your master didn't prepare anything good, so I'll entrust this secret book to you for safekeeping. If one day you can decipher its mysteries, remember to tell your master, whether your master is still alive or not."

Su Wan'er looked at the secretary who was pulled out of the blood-stained oil paper and said, "Master will surely live to be a hundred years old."

"Alright, alright. This book was obtained by your ancestor by chance. Although the writing inside is not quite the same as ours, it is still vaguely discernible. However, those characters that look like insects are really incomprehensible. My master, who is also your grandmaster, spent his whole life trying to understand it, but he only learned half of it. Even so, he was hailed as the number one divine physician in the world. This book also became something that people fought over. In order to prevent this book from being used by people with bad intentions, your grandmaster made a fake copy. The real one has always been with me, but I still failed your grandmaster and it was discovered. Now, I will pass it on to you. If you cannot understand it, remember not to let it fall into the hands of evil people."

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will take good care of it."

Su Wan'er took the book, casually flipped through it, and her expression immediately changed drastically. The book, no, to be precise, should be a medical notebook. It contained some outpatient prescriptions, as well as Chinese and Western medicine treatment plans for common diseases, surgical risks and precautions, etc. Most importantly, the latter part even had English text, such as the extraction of penicillin and the extraction of antibiotics such as cephalosporins. This was clearly a medical student's notebook.

Zhu Hongqi looked at Su Wan'er's expression and tentatively asked, "Wan'er, can you understand it?"

"Ah," Su Wan'er hurriedly looked away from the book, suppressing her doubts and excitement, "Master, I don't understand it, I'm just curious, this doesn't seem to be our script."

“Indeed, I have traveled all over the country over the years and have never met anyone who understands this kind of writing. But Wan’er, you don’t need to rush to figure it out. Take your time.”

"It's Master, Master, why did you entrust me with something so important?"

Zhu Hongqi had already treated the wound on his thigh. He looked out the window and said in a low voice, "It's time to put an end to this. Nanxing, take Wan'er and leave."

"Senior brother, no, I'll go with you."

Zhu Hongqi patted his shoulder, "If you come with me today, those people will immediately think of Wan'er after they can't find the secretary." As he spoke, the pain in his eyes was obvious. He mouthed to Lin Nanxing, "I'm sorry."

Lin Nanxing choked for a moment, then immediately understood his senior brother's meaning and nodded, "Alright, I'll take Wan'er away right away."

On the way back, neither Lin Nanxing nor Su Wan'er spoke. Su Wan'er was preoccupied with the secretary's doubts, while Lin Nanxing was worried about his senior brother.

Back then, my senior brother was so engrossed in medicine that he neglected his martial arts training. Now that he's old and injured, how can he possibly rescue Zeyang?

However, the sect's belongings cannot be left unprotected, especially since the girl is now involved. I cannot be so selfish as to put her in danger.

"Xiao Bai," Su Wan'er secretly put her secretary into her space and contacted Xiao Bai with her mind.

At that time, Xiaobai was working hard to boil water and remove the feathers in the space, waiting for the roast chicken feast that night.

"Xiao Bai, take a look at this notebook. This shouldn't exist in this era."

Xiao Bai ran over and glanced at the notebook. "Master, if you can time travel, then others can too. What's so strange about that?"

"Xiaobai, so you mean there might be other time travelers like me in this era?"

Xiao Bai shook his head, then nodded.

"Hey, explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by shaking your head and nodding?"

“Master, the division of spacetime is a very mysterious thing. What I mean is, apart from you, there is definitely no one else who has traveled to this era through our space. As for whether there are any other people who have traveled to this era through other material spaces, I am not sure.”
