In Ye Lan's heart, he would prefer the genius who holds the Flames of Nirvana to enter the Ye family but that genius may not agree to his conditions. As such, he had then thought of using the Hell's Lotus to coax Gu Ruoyun to agree to his request.

For the sake of the Yeh family, forget about giving away the Hell's Lotus, he would not even hesitate to sacrifice his own life.

Gu Ruoyun fell silent and stared quietly at Ye Lan's elderly face with her clear, cold eyes. Finally, she seemed to have made a decision and said, "Master Ye, would it be alright if I examined you?"

"Go ahead."

Ye Lan nodded and sat down with a smile, "Gu girl, I know that you are a doctor and you've successfully cured Master Murong of his illness. However, my poison is far more stubborn. I've gone through every famous doctor in the Banished Lands and not a single one of them had been able to cure me."

Gu Ruoyun did not respond. She slowly sat down next to Ye Lan and placed her finger gently on his pulse.

Gu Ruoyun's frown deepened as she listened to his pulse. After a long while, she finally relaxed and said, "It's indeed a little troublesome."

She had missed the signs on Ye Lan's ailing body when she first met him because this poison was far too incisive. She could only make a diagnosis now after taking his pulse.

Ye Lan retracted his hand and smiled. He did not say much and was just about to console Gu Ruoyun and ask her not to blame herself when the woman's clear, cold voice sounded again.

"This is probably the most stubborn poison I've ever seen in this life. It's truly troublesome. Based on my current level of strength, we would need at least a month to cure this poison."

Ye Lan was completely shocked. He raised his head suspiciously towards Gu Ruoyun, "Gu girl, what did you just say?

"I said that this poison is troublesome." Gu Ruoyun shrugged her shoulders and replied exasperatedly, "Even if I was to use all my power, I would still need a month to get rid of it. If you want it to go away a little faster than that, I really have no other way."

"Er..."

Ye Lan was completely dumbfounded.

Gu Ruoyun did mention that this poison was a little troublesome but she did not say that she would not be able to remedy it. The only thing was... She was unhappy about the fact that it would take one month to fully cure him, which was why this poison was troublesome?

"Bodyguard Gu, can you really save my old man?" Ye Nuo leaped from Ye Lan's arms and hopped towards Gu Ruoyun. He threw himself against her as his tender, cocky little face was flushed red, brimming with excitement.

"I will need one month."

Gu Ruoyun smiled calmly and turned towards Ye Lan, "How about this, if I can help you cure your poison, you'll give the Hell's Lotus to me. If I fail, I won't touch it."

Ye Lan's mouth widened in shock. He did not know why but he had complete faith in this girl who had never failed to surprise him.

If she says that she can cure my poison in one month, perhaps she'll really be able to do it!

Ye Lan's heart which was initially like a pile of dead ash was reignited once again by that thought. His eyes sparkled, "Little girl, I've said it before, this Hell's Lotus belongs to you now. Of course, I'll also allow you to treat me."

"Father!"

Ye Xinglin's shocked face was drained of color as he thought, if her remedy fails and we no longer have the Hell's Lotus, Father would certainly lose his life!

I simply cannot understand it, why would Father put so much faith into this little girl?

Regardless of how superior her powers are, it does not mean that she is skilled in medicine! Furthermore, so many doctors had been unable to treat him. What makes him think that she could do it?

"I have decided." Ye Lan frowned, cutting Ye Xingtian off from whatever he was about to say, "There's no need for your advice, you know my temper. Once I've decided on something, I will not change my decision. Gu girl, when can we start the treatment?"
