Chapter 693
His eyes were cold, without much warmth: “What did you say?”
That innate aggressiveness, as if sharp blades were tearing through the air, almost cutting through one’s throat.
Even Sara, the Sage Empress who had long held a high position, could not help but feel a chill in her heart when she met such a sight.
The eighth of the twenty-two Sages, the Chariot of the Sages, thechariot.
In the Tarot, the card of the Chariot symbolises victory.
“I’m sorry.” Sara took a slight step back, avoiding the man’s sharp edge, “Norton, what do you think?”
Hugh frowned slightly, “Norton?”
That wasn’t the name he remembered for the chariot in the beginning.
But it was so old that many of the sages’ real names he had largely forgotten.
There were even some Sages who had never mentioned their real names.
Even Power and Justice, with whom he had the best relationship, called each other by nothing more than their seal names.
Sara hmmed lightly, “Chariot’s name is Norton now, you can just call him that, he doesn’t like to be called Chariot.”
After a pause, she added, “Didn’t you go to the seven continents and four oceans hundreds of years ago? Norton University was founded by Chariot, and I heard it was a pretty …… impressive university”
Hugh certainly knew about Norton University.
As the founding member of the w network and nok forum, he had always paid close attention to the news of the seven continents and four oceans.
The number one university in the world, with a monopoly on almost all alchemical and astrological talents.
No wonder.
It was surprising that the Sage’s Chariot had established it.
Norton lifted his chin just slightly and smiled, “It’s been a long time, Hermit.”
“Ah, it’s been a long time.” Xiu hesitated for a moment and shook his hand.
As a fellow Sage, Xiu knew that Sages had the ability to do this.
Disguise themselves completely as an ordinary person, converge all their powers and memories, and become ordinary.
During this period of disguise, even the sage himself would not know that he was a sage.
It is not until they return to the House of Sages that this power and memory is restored.
Usually when such a condition arises, one has been seriously injured and needs to recuperate.
After all, Sages are also responsible for maintaining the City of Worlds and the functioning of the seven continents and four oceans.
There are also natural disasters to contend with, and quite a few earthquakes of magnitude ten that have not yet occurred require the Magi to block them.
Sometimes injuries are inevitable.
Hugh is not a fighting sage and has basically never been injured.
Sage powers are different and there were times when he was seriously injured and dying.
At that time, Xiu would go to the seven continents and four oceans to establish the nok forum, actually because he was looking for sage power.
It was even then that he ran into Ying Zigui.
Ying Zidian helped him work out where the power was.
It was also after this incident that he became close friends with Ying Zigei and the Sage Power and Sage Justice.
Hugh suspected that this was also the case with Norton.
Of course, there were other possibilities.
That is, after the fall of the Magi, they were reincarnated and reborn.
That was why there had been such rumours in the City of Worlds –
If a baby born in the City of Worlds is of golden blood, then there is a good chance that this baby is the reincarnation of a sage.
It has been a long time since the twenty-two Sages have been together.
So long that it has been over a dozen centuries.
Nor was Xiu aware of some of the Sages, except for the three who appeared regularly in the City of Worlds – the Pope, the Queen and the Magician.
But there had definitely been sages who had fallen.
“Xiu, I’ll agree to what Soo asked, as long as Norton agrees.” Sara spoke again, “Otherwise I could have ordered the same and cut off Suwen
Xiu’s expression was instantly cold, “Sara, I can also suspect that you have something to do with the disappearance of the great head of the Leingel family, otherwise how else would you have stopped it again and again?”
“Stopped?” Sara’s eyebrows were faint, “I am simply not a believer in any ancient healer, even the Magicians’ Guild has not been able to revive Su Wen, and an ancient healer can?”
“Don’t forget, there is no medicine in this world that a magician can’t make.”
Norton leaned against the wall, he was still smiling, “Empress, why are you so concerned about an ordinary person? What does it matter to you if the ancient healer can cure her?”
“Just as well.” Sara avoided his gaze, “I do have no need to care about a commoner.”
It was either a sage or an ordinary person.
A mortal’s body was just that.
“Tch.” Norton raised his hand and gestured lazily at the warrant, “Please, borrow it.”
Hugh hesitated for a moment and handed it over.
Norton raised an eyebrow and casually signed the warrant.
The warrant of two sages was unparalleled.
Sara’s eyes gradually froze and her hand clenched.
It was just Hugh, she didn’t care.
But Norton was there.
The chariot’s force rating was only lower than the demon’s, and neither she nor the Pope could resist.
“I’d quite like to see if she’ll wake up.” Norton’s tone was light, “Not helping you, just curious.”
Hugh gave Norton a look that curbed the doubt in his eyes and left the House of Magi.
Sara frowned as she turned her head, “Nor-”
Before she could get her name out, the man had already turned to leave.
The voice fell coldly, “Bother me less.”
Sara took a deep breath and restrained her anger as she too exited the Sage’s Courtyard.
**
Early the next morning.
Xiu personally went to the Institute to find Ying Zidian and delivered the warrant to her.
And he recounted what had happened yesterday.
“The chariot’s temper has always been temperamental.” Xiu pressed his temples, “It’s a good thing we didn’t mess it up.”
Ying Zidian took the warrant and fixed her eyes on the name “Norton”.
After a long time, she whispered, “So that’s how it is.”
The tarot cards had given her an indication that Norton’s strength had increased a month ago.
Apparently, it was because Norton had regained his status as a Sage.
“Ugh, sorry, I’m still kinda wasted.” Hugh scratched his hair, “If only the power was there, we’d have a fighting chance, who could beat the chariot without the demon.”
“It’s okay.” Ying folded the warrant, “One of our own.”
Xiu froze, and it took him a long time to react, suddenly excited, “You know the chariot?!”
How could he forget that this old friend of his had been moving around outside the city for so long and knew people all over the seven continents and four seas.
“No, that’s not right, with your style, the chariot wouldn’t be your enemy, would it?” Hugh was startled again, “You have enemies that are all over the place. ”
Ying Ziji: “……”
She pushed Xiu out with an expressionless face and closed the door.
She then contacted Sinai and Yu Xuesheng and drove to the Leingold family once more.
The doctor was a lot more polite this time.
But there was no great hope.
Su Wen had been in a coma for too long, and if she hadn’t been relying on this hospital bed, her body functions would not have been able to support her up to this point, even if she was hanging on with rare herbs.
With two hypnotists from outside the City of Worlds to revive Su Wen?
The doctor stood by, watching warily.
She wanted to put an end to these two people from doing anything wrong to Su Wen.
Half an hour later, Yu Xuesheng ended the round of hypnosis.
Ying Ziyi also finished checking Su Wen’s pulse: “How is it?”
“Miss Ying, Madam Su Wen’s mental state is much better.” Yu Xue Sheng whispered, “What a miracle, originally the play I estimated that it would take at least four weeks of healing.”
Now it had only been two hypnosis sessions and Su Wen’s mental state had already recovered by 90%.
It was indeed a miracle.
Ying Ziji listened and looked at the woman on the ice bed, baffled for the first time.
“It’s time to perform acupuncture.” Yu Xue Sheng smiled lightly, “If we are lucky, she will be able to wake up today …… What’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing. Ying returned to her senses, took out the long box and pinched three silver needles in her hand.
Seeing this scene, the doctor immediately changed his face: “What are you doing?”
“Acupuncture.” Ying Zidian rolled up his sleeves and held his breath, “Mr. Yu, you give the hand order to-”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was rudely interrupted
“Told you, there’s no way the First Lady will let you heal in such a backward way.” The doctor was shaken with anger and she immediately pressed the alarm, “Someone, someone, get these two outsiders out of the Leingold family!”
At the sound of the alarm, the Third Lady, who was waiting outside, immediately rushed in and scolded, “What’s going on?”
“Third Mistress, they still haven’t died and want to give Mrs. Soooooo acupuncture.” The doctor was straightforward in his complaint, “I don’t think these two people were bad and kind from the start.”
“Acupuncture?” The Third Lady also changed her face and flatly refused, “Absolutely not.”
Bi’er, who followed her in, saw the golden needles in the girl’s hands and coldly said, “If you really want acupuncture, go and talk to the Sage’s House if you can, and get them to grant a warrant.”
“Who do you think you are if you act privately without a warrant?”
Bea was really annoyed.
An anchor in her style had appeared on the w network, and a researcher who had only just entered the Engineering Academy had been stuffed into the experimental project.
And now there was someone who defied the authority of the house.
The Third Lady didn’t want to talk for a moment: “Arrest them and send them to the Sage Academy.”
In the midst of the turmoil, Ying Ziji remained calm and unruffled.
She put the golden needle down, took the warrant from Yu Xuesheng’s hand and lifted it up.
The black letters on a white background were clear and distinct.
Bi’er turned her head and looked over, “What is it?”
Chapter 694
At this point in time, he is still so unhurried.
I don’t know if I should say that I have guts in the face of danger, or that I am not afraid of a tiger.
However, when Bea took a look at her, her face turned white with a swish.
“Whatever she’s got.” The Third Lady didn’t even want to look at it, “Arrest her!”
No one moved in the medical room, and the guards who had rushed in were shaken to the spot.
The Third Mistress realised something was wrong and frowned, “What are you waiting for? Why don’t you hurry up and grab them?!”
“Third Sister-in-law, you’re quite imposing.” A cold voice came out, “You dare to ignore even the Magi’s warrant, and you want to arrest someone.”
Hearing these words, the Third Lady’s expression changed and she looked up sharply.
It was written clearly and distinctly in black on white paper.
Especially the two signatures at the bottom were like two blades hanging overhead.
Sage Hermit, Xiu!
Sage Chariot, Norton!
Two sages, jointly signed orders.
Who would dare to disobey?
The doctor’s face changed, too, to a ghastly white.
Her legs weakened subconsciously and she fell to her knees with a thud.
This was followed by a flurry of “flops” as everyone else in the medical room fell to their knees.
To see a sage’s warrant is like seeing a sage.
It is a great disrespect not to worship after seeing one.
The Third Lady was forced to kneel on the floor, her eyes wide open.
She stared at the warrant, unable to believe it.
The reason the Leingold family stood for power was the ability to invite the Magi more easily.
Unlike the Jade family, who had to hitch a ride with Vermilion, the Knight Commander, to bring in a Sage to treat Yu Shaoyun.
But the only ones the Leingold family had the most contact with were the Sage Queen and the Sage Pope.
These two?
“Third Sister-in-law, don’t forget that big brother can rule the country with his literature and the country with his military.” Sinai could see what the Third Lady was thinking and looked indifferent, “Is it something unusual that he has a friendship with a Sage?”
At this, not only did the Third Lady turn pale, but Mo Qian’s expression was also off.
Lu Yuan Laingal.
One of the most outstanding grandparents in the thousand-year history of this family.
Lu Yuan was also the only member of the Lehngar family who could compete with a full member of the Jade family in terms of force.
Back then, his union with Su Man was blessed by the Sages and celebrated by all the inhabitants of the City of Worlds.
It was also because of Lu Yuan that the position of the Leingel family was more firmly established.
Lu Yuan had indeed been to the House of Sages quite a few times.
But how many sages he actually knew, neither the Third Lady nor Mo Qian knew for sure.
The Third Lady was in a cold sweat.
Lu Yuan had been missing for so long, and Sinai had managed to use his name to talk up two Sages?!
The Sage Hermits, the founders of the W Network, were even more well-known than the Sage Magicians.
As for the Sage Chariot, they had even only heard of it in books, and it had all become a legend.
The Third Lady didn’t even think about Ying Zidian’s side.
As far as she was concerned, Ying Zidian was only Yu Xuesheng’s a*sistant who had come to the World City.
Not to mention the Magi, she couldn’t even know someone as big as the young master of the Hacker League.
The room was dead silent.
The warrant that Ying Zidian held, signed with the name of a Sage, also carried its own Sage pressure.
The Third Lady and Bi’er knelt before her, unable to lift their heads, their bodies trembling incessantly.
This alone made it absolutely impossible for the warrant to be forged.
“It is us who have been abrupt.” The silence was broken first by Mo Qian, who was also extremely stressed, his voice breaking, “Since the two sage masters have given the order, we will leave you alone and leave the First Lady in your full hands.”
This statement was ostensibly obedience.
In reality, it was making it clear that in case anything good or bad happened to Su Wen during the treatment, it had nothing to do with them.
“Don’t worry, Third Brother.” Sinai was faint, “Sister-in-law would have had nothing to do with you.”
Mo Qian was a little embarra*sed, he stopped talking, but could still only kneel.
Ten minutes later, Ying Zigui lowered his hand, refolded the warrant and put it back.
It was only then that the oppressive feeling that lingered in the hearts of the crowd finally disappeared.
The third madam instantly lost her strength, her eyes rolled over and she fainted straight away.
Mo Qian hurriedly picked her up and took her out of the medical room
Bi’er’s health was much higher, but her face was also as white as paper.
She pursed her lips and took one look at the girl before holding on to the wall before reluctantly exiting.
Only three people were left in the medical room.
“Ying, I’ve turned off all the surveillance in the medical room.” Sinai nodded towards Ying Zidian, “Do you want us all to go?”
“No.” Ying Zidian re-cupped the golden needle, “It’s not a major operation, and it won’t open up the body.”
Sinai nodded and took a seat to the side, watching her intently.
Ying Ziji didn’t drop the needles fast this time, and was even slow.
When she dropped the third needle, her fingers were trembling slightly.
Ying Ziji averted her eyes, took a slow breath, held her mind, and continued to drop the needles.
This time her speed increased.
The next time, it was almost difficult for Sinai to catch the girl’s hand.
The needles rose and fell, almost practising a streak of shadow.
The Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate!
Through acupuncture, the patient’s meridians and channels throughout the body were opened up, unblocking the qi and blood, awakening the nerves and thus regulating brain function.
As long as the ancient doctor administering the formation was highly skilled in medicine, there would never be any side effects.
This is an effect that no medicine can achieve.
An hour later, Ying Ziji took out the last golden needle.
Sinai’s attention was focused on the instrument on the side, and she rose up haughtily.
She could clearly see that the curve on the brainwave machine began to fluctuate drastically and eventually leveled off.
The brainwave machine was the same principle as the electrocardiogram machine, except that it tested brain waves.
Previously the curve on this brainwave machine would only occasionally rise and fall a little, usually it was basically a straight line.
This proved that Su Wen’s consciousness had returned.
Sinai was stunned in place, unable to come back to her senses for a moment, her eyes red.
She did not have much hope, but she did not expect the effect to be so quick.
Ying Ziji put away all the gold and silver needles, took off her medical gloves and stood up.
As she was about to leave the ice bed, there was a strong force in her hand.
She turned around and for the first time her body stiffened.
She was held by a hand so white that her skin was almost transparent.
It was Su Wen.
The woman was still lying on the bed, her eyes tightly closed, not waking up.
But she had reacted quite physically, and her other hand lifted up as if to grasp something.
Sinai returned to her senses and her pupils shrank slightly, “Sister-in-law!”
Su Wen had been in a coma for over twenty years, and it was the first time she had moved so much.
Ying Zigui didn’t move, just stood still and let Su Wen pull her.
It took five minutes before Su Man’s hand was released.
This time it was Ying Zigui who took her hand and put it back on the bed.
Sinai calmed down for a moment and looked up, “Sister-in-law still hasn’t woken up?”
“Well, she’s still a bit resistant because of the wonderful dream she constructed for herself.” Ying was silent for a moment, “Once she wakes up, she will be faced with the absence of her husband and children.”
“Twenty years ago she lost her will to live, and it was indeed a little difficult to wake up.”
“Today I am performing the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate and have restored her consciousness.” Ying added, “But the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate can only be used once in seven days, otherwise her spirit will not be able to bear it.”
“I will come back in seven days and awaken her full body functions again, and she will be able to wake up.”
Twenty years and still the miracle had occurred.
Sinai rubbed her eyes and went up to hug the girl, “Ying, thank you, thank you so much.”
“Let her rest first.” Ying looked at Su Man and spoke, “During this time, only nutrient infusion is needed, other instruments that maintain vital characteristics can be withdrawn.”
After Su Wen’s consciousness was restored, using these instruments would make it harder for her to wake up.
Because dependence had become instinctive, it would be harder to rely on herself again.
That was why she had just used the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate, and had also broken the connection between Su Man and the instruments in the process.
“Good.” Sinai acted immediately.
**
It didn’t take five minutes at all for the news that Su Man’s consciousness had returned to him to spread throughout the entire Lehngar family.
Tens of thousands of people from all over the family, including the servants, knew about it.
There were quite a few old people who had worked in the Lehngel family for decades who went to personally thank Ying Zigui.
This did not include several other first families.
“Mum, what should we do?” Bi’er became even more annoyed, “That whatever ancient doctor was really able to wake up his eldest aunt.”
They would stop Ying Zigui from giving Su Wen acupuncture at the beginning, not because they were afraid that she would save Su Wen from waking up.
Rather, they were afraid that if Ying Zidian cured Su Wen to death, the House of Magi would be furious and they would be punished as well.
But to their surprise, Su Man was about to wake up!
Is there such a miraculous existence of ancient medicine in the seven continents and four oceans?
The thought that Su Wen would wake up soon made Bi’s heart feel like an ant.
Lu Yuan had disappeared and Su Wen was in a coma.
It had taken twenty years for the power of the family to be handed over to them and the Third Lady.
Who would want to have it taken back?
“What’s the panic, Su Man can’t threaten you even if she wakes up.” Hearing this, the Second Lady took a breezy sip of tea, “This family cannot be without a master for a day, your eldest uncle has been missing for too long, it’s no different from being dead.”
“The Sage House side has long had the intention to re-elect the eldest family head, the younger generation is not very competitive except for you.”
Bea frowned, “Mum, you’ve forgotten that there’s still Auntie.”
Although Sinai was her eldest, she wasn’t very old.
“Sinai is even less likely.” The Second Lady shook her head, “She’s been away from her family for ten years for no reason, even the experiments over at the Institute have stopped, and now she knows to come back?”
“And she’s always been physically weak, no more than you without some force value.”
The Leingold family didn’t put as much emphasis on force value as the Jade family, but as the head of the main family, force value was an absolute necessity.
When Bea thought about it, she thought so, before she finally smiled, “Mother, it’s still you who sees things clearly.”
The second madam sighed, “But your eldest uncle’s family really had a bad life too, if their children were still alive, I wonder how outstanding they would have been.”
A strong combination, the offspring’s genes wouldn’t be any worse.
Bea faded: “Luckily it died.”
“Yes, it’s good to be dead.” The Second Lady said, “Prepare your can a experimental project without worrying and try to get your S rank researcher next month.”
Bea nodded.
She unscrewed a bottle of nutrients and looked down as she replied with a message.
[I won’t be staying in an experimental group with her.]
**
Afternoon.
Ying Ziji returned to the Institute.
In order to prevent the Genetic Institute from doing anything else, her study with Dean Norman was secret.
The members of the experimental project team were only aware that she was number one in the Engineering Institute this year.
When they saw the girl enter, the trainees in the lab stopped what they were doing.
The atmosphere was eerie.
Ying Ziji nodded slightly in greeting and sat down.
“Student Ying, did you offend Miss Bi’er?” A female cadet hesitated for a moment, “She said she wouldn’t stay in the same group as you.”
There were two groups in the experimental project.
Group a was the official group and group b was the reserve group.
Ying Ziyi was placed in group a by Dean Norman.
“It’s okay, I’ll be in the same group as you.” Ying Zidian’s eyebrows were sparse, “It’s all the same.”
The female cadet was surprised: “Are you really coming to our group?”
If Ying Zidian joined group b, they might be able to make it, even if they couldn’t catch up with group a.
“Sorry.” At this moment, a male cadet from group b stood up, “Miss Bi’er’s side is short of staff, I need to go there.”
He had just contacted Bi’er, and Bi’er said that with Ying Zigui gone, there was one less person in group a, and he could be let in.
A researcher who had only just entered the engineering school, although he was a good first this year.
But compared to Bi’er, who was in the process of becoming an S-rank researcher and was still the eldest girl of the Lehngar family, it was still no match.
There was no need to think about it, one knew who to follow to get the most benefit from it.
The moment these words came out, the faces of the members of group B changed.
This was the core member of their group, what would they do if they went to group a?
The female cadet glared angrily, “You ……”
The male cadet pursed his lips, “I’m really sorry.”
He always had to think for himself, he didn’t care so much.
Ying Zidian pressed the female cadet’s shoulder and raised her eyes, “Let him go.”
