Chapter 1273: A Difficult Choice
rit remains, hiding in the Nine Heavens Lotus Embryo to barely survive.You are currently incapable of rebuilding your physical body and can only hope to be reborn through possession.That's why you jus...Ye Bufan looked intently at the future: "Tell me, how are your people doing now"
"It's not good. We have lost our land, and almost everyone is displaced and at the bottom of society."
As he spoke, a flicker of sadness crossed his eyes again, clearly pained by the plight of his people.
"If you were given a choice, to have the Lawrence family forever suffer the consequences of the blood curse, or to have your people live in prosperity, which would you choose"
"I..."
A cloud of uncertainty crossed his eyes, clearly he hadn't thought about this before. This was an extremely difficult choice for her.
She truly wanted to punish the Laurence family, which is why she kept sending her subordinates to monitor their movements. On the other hand, she was deeply saddened by the plight of her own people.
Now, there are not many Tu people left, about 1 million. To say that everyone is having a hard time would be an understatement. As the sacred maiden of the Tu people, I certainly don't want to see this outcome.
"It's a difficult choice, isn't it" Ye Bufan said. "Actually, there's one thing you need to make clear: Saint Laurence is the one who committed the heinous crimes. His descendants are not involved."
And the Lawrence family, having endured punishment for generations, has suffered enough.
I think this hatred is unnecessary to continue. What's most important now is for you to ensure your people live well.
In the future silence fell, muttering in a low voice: “Doctor Ye, I know what you say is right, but before finding back the golden staff my ability is limited and I can’t do much for my tribe.”
Yè Búfán asked: "Can you break the blood curse on the Lawrence family"
"If we retrieve the Golden Staff, it's possible," Future said angrily. "But I won't help them."
"If the Laurence family returns the golden scepter, we will compensate their people and give them land to farm. Would you be willing"
"I..."
A conflicted expression crossed the young woman's face. On one hand, there was the happiness of her tribe, and on the other, the centuries-old hatred that had been passed down through generations. For a moment, she didn't know which path to choose.
"The choice is yours. Take some time to think it over. When you're ready, come to me. I'm willing to be a mediator between you and the Laurence family."
"Doctor Ye, I have Wood bring you."
In the future, Future opened the door and called in Wood, asking him to send Ye Bufan back to Apple Hotel.
After the two people left, she returned to her room and sat there, staring blankly.
Ye Bufan returned to his room. As soon as he opened the door, Lu Banxia greeted him with a radiant smile.
"When did you come"
"I've been here for a while. I wanted to have dinner with you, but I heard you were on a date with the beautiful president. So I'm just waiting for you here."
"Haven't you had dinner yet Let's go find a place to eat. I haven't either."
"I know there's an Italian restaurant around here with really good food..."
Lu Banxia affectionately took Ye Bufan's arm, and the two left Apple Hotel and came to a Western restaurant called Violet.
This is a high-end Western restaurant. The decoration is elegant yet luxurious, and it's clear that business is booming with a steady stream of diners coming and going.
Lu Banxia booked a private room and ordered some of the restaurant's specialty dishes. They also ordered a bottle of red wine, and the two began to have dinner.
Lu Banxia cut a small piece of steak and elegantly sent it into her mouth: "I heard you went out with Alice the Headmistress, where is she Why are you back alone"
She took me to see a friend of hers who had a very strange case...
Ye Bufan spoke, recounting his experiences during the trip to the Lawrence family from beginning to end.
"My God, there's such a thing…"
Lu Banxia's mouth hung open in surprise, her face etched with disbelief. It took her a long time to recover from the shock; the events of the day had been nothing short of overwhelming.
Saint Lawrence is almost a household name in the United States, considered a national hero by many. It's surprising to learn that behind this revered figure lay such a person, who seized other people's land through unscrupulous means.
After the shock, she also felt pity for the Lawrence family's fate. To be tormented by such a brutal blood curse for so many years, I'm afraid that no family could bear it.
She took a deep breath, calming her surging emotions, and asked: "Brother Ye, what do you think the future holds for us"
Ye Bufan said: "I think she will choose to accept a reconciliation."
Lu Banxia shook her head. "I don't think that's possible. After all, what Saint Laurent did back then was too excessive. This kind of near-genocidal hatred isn't something you can just let go."
But that's all in the past now, people can't live there forever. If I am the future, the most important thing is to figure out how to lead my people to a good life.
"When Future learned that I was going to help the Lawrence family with their illness, there was no threat, only pleading. There wasn't even an attempt by his men to kill me out of convenience."
Therefore, it can be seen that the Tu people are still a kind nation and certainly will not always live in hatred.
Lu Banxia said: "Brother Ye, you seem to hope that the two sides will reconcile"
"Yes, I hope so too."
Ye Bufan said, "The sins of the past were committed by Saint Laurence. As the saying goes, 'the wicked suffer, and their families also suffer.' His descendants have endured hundreds of years of pain. In my view, that is enough."
Another point is that for the Tu people, the most important thing now is not revenge but survival.
Before, the Tu ethnic group had a population of over 30 million. Now it is less than one million. If this continues, their numbers will only decrease, and they may disappear from the Earth in the near future.
Therefore, for the future, it is wiser to seek compensation than to continue living in hatred, after all, the Saint Lawrence who did evil in the past has already died and received his due punishment.
"Last but not least, if they can reach a compromise, it would be greatly beneficial for us as well, which is why I'm willing to act as a mediator between them."
Lu Banxia asked in some puzzlement, "What does their reconciliation have to do with us"
Ye Bufan looked at her with a faint smile: "My trip to the US this time is not just to attend the Medical Exchange Conference, but more importantly, to promote Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and spread it to the Western world. The US is obviously a crucial part of that."
Lu Banxia became more and more confused: "I still don't understand what traditional Chinese medicine has to do with them."
"To promote traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the US, there are a few key points. Firstly, we need to gain acceptance of TCM from the local population. Through these past few days of exchanges, we have made initial progress towards this goal, taking the first step successfully."
Second, we need funding and an industrial chain. We previously received the assets of Angel Pharmaceuticals, including their marketing network, which can be fully utilized for traditional Chinese medicine. This is not too difficult to implement.
The third point, and the most complex one, is the supply of raw materials for the traditional Chinese medicine industry.
If we want to build a factory in M country, we need to ensure the supply of Chinese medicinal materials. Transporting medicinal materials from China is also very troublesome and is far less convenient than establishing our own medicinal material planting base in M country.
Lu Banxia was a very intelligent woman originally, and hearing him say this seemed to have grasped the key point of the problem.
"Brother Ye, are you suggesting we mediate a reconciliation The Lawrence family would give the Tu people land and funds as compensation, and then the Tu people would help us cultivate medicinal herbs."word, definitely a priceless treasure.Zhong Zi, who had previously appeared as a superior elder among the three, now widened his eyes in surprise.Especially Gongsun Shi, his two eyes were fixed on the...
