I Was Reborn as the Villain, but the System Bound Itself to the Female Leads - Chapter 11:

Chapter 11: System Binding Successful:

Physician Kunlun began his treatment by taking out the silver needles he carried with him and preparing to insert them.

“Wait, let me check them first.”

Ye Ling’er, still uneasy, requested to examine them.

“Be my guest.”

Physician Kunlun didn’t get offended. He calmly handed over the silver needles to Ye Ling’er, maintaining a composed and elegant demeanor that truly resembled that of an otherworldly cultivator.

Many guests who had come to celebrate Old Master Ye’s birthday gathered around, eager to watch the show unfold.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan tried to get up and leave. He had no intention of getting involved in the chaos that was bound to happen next.

Unexpectedly, Fatty Chu beside him suddenly grabbed his wrist and said, “Lin Yuan, come on, let’s go join the fun.”

Fatty Chu’s strength was greater than Lin Yuan’s, and he couldn’t break free. Helpless, Lin Yuan was dragged by Chu Haojie into the crowd and pushed to the front.

Ye Ling’er carefully inspected the silver needles two or three times, and after confirming there was nothing wrong, she handed them back.

Physician Kunlun then began applying acupuncture to Old Master Ye.

The first few needles went smoothly, but just as he was about to insert the fourth needle, Ye Ling’er urgently shouted, “Stop!”

Unfortunately, it was too late. At the moment she spoke, the silver needle had already pierced Old Master Ye’s body.

In just an instant, Old Master Ye’s eyes rolled back, and his entire body began convulsing violently.

“What’s happening?!”

Physician Kunlun was shocked and panicked.

Ye Ling’er immediately pushed him aside and rushed to her grandfather’s side. She pulled out the needles and started administering acupuncture again herself.

“I shouldn’t have trusted a Street Charlatan like you. Get out of my way!”

She stabilized her grandfather’s convulsions, then turned and glared at Physician Kunlun, who was now pale with fear.

Lin Yuan watched from the side. He knew this wasn’t over yet. Ye Ling’er had only temporarily suppressed the symptoms. It was like an overfilled balloon—it was bound to burst soon.

Sure enough, within two minutes, Old Master Ye began convulsing again, even more violently than before. Saliva uncontrollably dripped from his mouth. He looked utterly disheveled.

“How could this happen? I clearly stabilized his condition!”

Ye Ling’er was stunned. She had just controlled it—why had it flared up again?

“Ye Ling’er, you’re recklessly interfering! If something happens to Grandpa, it’ll all be your fault!”

Ye Xinzhi immediately tried to shift the blame to Ye Ling’er.

“Shut your mouth!”

Ye Wenzhi slapped his son on the head. This was all his doing. No one here was stupid—if something really happened to Old Master Ye, as the Patriarch’s brother, he’d be the first to suffer.

Now, the only thing to do was pray that Old Master Ye would be fine.

“Miss Ye, I also know a bit of medicine. Why don’t you let me try?”

At that moment, Long Haochen stepped forward.

“You?”

Ye Ling’er looked at Long Haochen. He was about the same age as her. If she couldn’t fix it, how could he?

Lin Yuan smiled. In the original plot, this was when he should have stepped up to oppose Long Haochen, but now he chose to stay silent and observe.

“Who are you, kid? Where did you pop up from? Even my Ling’er can’t do anything, and you think you can? Right now, sending Old Master Ye to the hospital is what matters most!”

Lin Yuan widened his eyes and looked at Chu Haojie.

Damn it! He had stayed quiet on purpose, yet Fatty Chu went and stirred the pot anyway?

“You agree with me, right, Lin Yuan?”

After speaking, Chu Haojie even turned to Lin Yuan and asked for his opinion.

At this moment, Lin Yuan wanted nothing more than to die.

Damn it, Fatty Chu, if you want to die, don’t drag me with you!

He coughed a few times and then said righteously, “Brother Long is a remarkable talent. His medical skills are said to be unmatched in both ancient and modern times. I know him well and trust his abilities. Miss Ye, why not let Brother Long try? Perhaps he really can cure Old Master Ye.”

Everyone who knew Lin Yuan was stunned.

Lin Yuan? The infamous scoundrel of North City? The guy who only ever placed himself second to the heavens? Since when did he start complimenting people like this?

Long Haochen was secretly delighted after hearing Lin Yuan’s words. At least this guy knew when to go with the flow. He quickly cupped his hands toward Ye Ling’er and humbly said, “I am Long Haochen, disciple of the Ghosthand Miracle Doctor. Have you heard of him, Miss Ye?”

“You’re the Ghosthand Miracle Doctor’s disciple?”

Ye Ling’er looked at Long Haochen, clearly skeptical.

As someone who studied medicine, of course she’d heard the name. The Ghosthand Miracle Doctor was a wandering Miracle Doctor from over twenty years ago, famed for his acupuncture skills that could treat all kinds of illnesses. Because of his eerie techniques, he earned the title.

But that was all hearsay from over two decades ago. She had only ever heard of him—she didn’t even know if he really existed.

Just as she was debating whether to let Long Haochen try, a strange voice suddenly echoed in her mind.

[System binding in progress… Binding successful. Host name: Ye Ling’er. Complete the system-assigned mission to receive the reward.]
[System mission: Hold Lin Yuan’s hand and say, “You have to take responsibility for me.” Mission reward: A method to completely cure your grandfather’s chronic illness.]

After hearing the strange voice in her mind, Ye Ling’er turned her gaze toward Lin Yuan.

As a fellow resident of North City, how could she not know Lin Yuan’s bad reputation? Now she had to walk up, hold his hand, and say those words?

In front of all these people?

Wouldn’t everyone completely misunderstand?

But when she looked back at her grandfather, still convulsing, with even the servants struggling to keep him steady, and the rest of the elders panicking helplessly by the side…

“No matter if it’s real or not—for Grandpa, I can endure this. I’ll try.”

Ye Ling’er took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and walked straight toward Lin Yuan.

“Hmm? What’s she doing? Why is she walking toward me?”

Lin Yuan was startled. A bad feeling surged in his chest.

Before he could react, Ye Ling’er had already walked up to him, grabbed his hand, and gritted her teeth as she said, “You have to take responsibility for me.”

[Host has completed the system mission. Mission reward: A method to completely cure your grandfather’s chronic illness has been granted.]

A flood of medical knowledge surged into Ye Ling’er’s mind. Her eyes lit up with clarity as she swiftly released Lin Yuan’s hand and returned to her grandfather’s side.

Her hands moved like lightning. Silver needles pierced the key acupuncture points on Old Master Ye’s body with precise speed, completely stopping the convulsions.

Then she grabbed paper and brush and quickly wrote down a prescription.

“Dad, go get these herbs.”

“Alright.”

Ye Wenzhi nodded. Although he really wanted to ask what that strange sentence to Lin Yuan meant, his father’s safety came first right now.
