Ruan Muxue continued, "The exchange meeting will be set by the senior card maker who organizes the gathering, and we will solve the problems. The one who gives the best answer will be the winner and will be able to borrow the senior card maker's notes for a month. This gathering at Lanyu Sanatorium is organized by Senior Lanyu, who is the most mysterious senior card maker."
[Is that Lan Yu? That woman is indeed mysterious.]
"How mysterious?" Lian Han asked, while replying to the old man, "[You knew this was an exchange meeting all along, didn't you?]"
"The five top-tier card makers are all well-known in the Federation, and most of them are in the real world as well. Only Senior Lan Yu is limited to communication on the SkyNet, and no one knows who she is to this day."
"It's mysterious."
“You’re not bad either,” Ruan Muxue glanced at her and added, “Your background is quite mysterious.”
[I've guessed pretty much it.]
Lian Han said calmly, "The circumstances do not allow me to reveal my identity."
“Fine, then we won’t say,” Ruan Muxue said with a smile. “These are the rules. However, Senior Lan Yu likes to use incurable patients as the questions. If someone from the Lance family comes, their chances of winning will definitely be greater.”
"The Lance family? They're not participating?"
"Yes. The card makers of the Lance family will not participate in the exchange meeting held by Senior Lan Yu, for reasons unknown."
"Is that so?" Lian Han raised an eyebrow.
Ruan Muxue suddenly turned her head and said, "Let's go, Senior Lan Yu is here."
Lian Han followed her gaze and saw a dignified woman in a silver-white card master's robe. The initial face provided by the Skynet was undoubtedly a second account.
However, Lian Han felt that the other person's aura was somewhat familiar. But after searching her memory, she couldn't find a woman worthy of such authority and had to give up. Who the other person was was, in fact, irrelevant to her.
"This is today's topic." Lan Yu opened the smart device, and a 3D image appeared. It was a girl, a girl who was thin as a rake and covered in scars.
Does he look familiar? Lian Han raised an eyebrow, her gaze returning to Lan Yu, and she retracted her previous thought.
"This girl was injected with illegal drugs. The drugs are not addictive, but they cause her to self-harm. When she has an attack, she has to bleed to get temporary relief. So today's topic is how to eliminate the effects of the drugs on her."
As Lan Yu spoke, he displayed the girl's detailed physical data.
"This child—there are still people abusing young children these days?"
Some say, "The level of civilization varies from planet to planet. Even if the Federation's laws regarding children are comprehensive, it is almost impossible to implement them on every planet. Where there is light, there is bound to be shadow."
While everyone else was analyzing the information, Lian Han remained silent.
The girl who was injected with drugs was 7 years old, anemic, malnourished, and self-harming... Isn't this exactly what she was like when she was 7 years old?
[She is Lady Jialan.] Lian Han said in a declarative tone.
[Perhaps. But that woman, Jialan, simply doesn't have the talent for card making?]
[Can't the Madam's retrospective attribute be used for card creation?]
[Of course. But her level of mental control—I remember clearly, old man, was only 9%. How could she possibly have reached this point?] Lan Yu became a top-level card maker only two years later than him.
Lian Han paused for a moment, then thought, "Perhaps hard work pays off?"
[God knows. Stop wondering who she is, and think about what to do in this situation.]
[Remove or neutralize the medication, just like the system did for me before.]
[You said it yourself, it's a system. How can cards achieve this?]
Cards? Lian Han pondered.
She created quite a few cards, but in terms of usage—she actually only frequently used a few ice-type, area-of-effect assimilation, and defensive cards like the Golden Hoop. As for healing cards, they were all stored on the AI. After all, she was protected by cards and rarely got hurt, and even if her family members were injured, she wouldn't be around, so healing cards were useless.
But to find a card that can achieve the effect she just described is a difficult problem. Cards that affect the human body are the most dangerous; one wrong move and the person could be killed. Because the card's power acts directly, even a medical bay might not be able to save them in time.
"That girl looks familiar," Lian Han thought to himself, his eyelids twitching as he heard Ruan Muxue mutter to herself, hoping she wouldn't remember him.
After all, at the age of 7, she already showed some of the alluring and seductive qualities she would later possess. It was just that she had lived a very miserable life at that time, and was pale and emaciated, which made her look significantly different from how she is now.
Thinking of this, Lian Han felt a sense of admiration for Lady Jialan. She had recreated the situation from her memories, and the details were handled very well. It must be said that she truly deserved to be called a 3S powerhouse.
Have you thought of that?
A voice sounded in front of her, and when Lian Han looked up, she saw Lan Yu walking closer. He was looking at her intently.
Lian Han was surprised, then realized that she was now in the face of Old Man Xing before, and the card maker Lan Yu was obviously from the same era as the old man, so he must know him.
Just as Lian Han was about to shake his head, a sudden male voice rang out, "It's already started?"
Upon hearing this voice, most of the card makers' faces darkened. Lan Yu also stopped paying attention to Lian Han and turned to look at the newcomer, "Lord Jing Li."
"Ms. Lan Yu." The man walking towards her glanced at the virtual girl. "Is Ms. Lan trying to cure illnesses and save lives again? How unoriginal."
"You've been here before, so you should know this is my usual practice." Lan Yu's expression was indifferent, but he subtly blocked Lian Han's view.
Was she helping her? Lian Han was thinking this when she suddenly heard a reprimand, "Jing Li, you are not welcome here."
"I know. Your unwelcome is written all over your faces." The man seemed completely unconcerned. "But I am a top-tier card maker, you can't possibly kick me out."
His words made the old man's face turn black: "Don't try to bully me..."
"Going too far? So what if I bully you? I love seeing you hate me to death but can't do anything about it." The man chuckled.
It was a very cheerful voice, which suited Lian Han's taste. However—
[Who is Jingli?] The old man remained silent in response.
This made Lian Han frown. Could they be enemies?
It's possible. If the card maker admires Old Man Xing, it's quite reasonable that he would also despise his enemies.
"I heard that His Excellency Beiting invited a new person today. May I ask who it is?"
Bei Ting said calmly, "I've already said she's a newcomer, so naturally she's not worthy of your attention yet. It's not too late to pay attention to her when she reaches a higher level."
Aside from the exchange meetings he organized himself, Jing Li hadn't participated in any for a long time. If he had known that the other party would be coming today, he wouldn't have let Lian Han attend.
They came for her? Lian Han was surprised, yet also understood, after all, she had already been so high-profile this time.
However, Old Xing's voice rang out at this moment, tinged with complexity: "Xiao Han, according to the order of entry into the sect, you should perhaps call him Senior Brother."
