Chapter 113: 113 Identity Exposed! Pulling the Sky is Her Company [1 Update]

Rong Jingqiu stared at Ye Wanlan’s face, and within a mere five seconds, his heart was struck by towering waves.

Not because she was exceedingly beautiful, but because he could see time on her was utterly chaotic!

Time and space are always the two most difficult physical quantities to break through.

The new breakthroughs in the field of quantum entanglement gave hope to the possibility of breaking through space.

But who dares to claim they can break through time?

If, in the future, someone really did invent a time machine, then why was there not a single person from the future in their era?

Was it automatically corrected by time an infinite number of times, or was a time machine simply impossible to invent?

But that wasn’t what shocked Rong Jingqiu the most; he had discovered something else that he found unbelievable.

This body had traces of another soul’s invasion!

Elder Rong, in the Rong family, possessed an extraordinarily powerful gift for spirit communication, recognized as the foremost in the field three hundred years later, even the emperor of the Northern Lands would respectfully request his presence.

Rong Jingqiu was not as skilled as Elder Rong, and could only discern some superficial signs.

"Dad? Dad?" Seeing Rong Jingqiu standing there, as if struck by lightning, speechless, Rong Yu shouted, "It’s over, my dad’s brain is broken!"

And he should be passing on his position to him quickly!

Indeed, Ye Wanlan had not expected to meet Rong Yu’s father, Rong Jingqiu, who was also the current head of the Rong family, here.

And through Rong Jingqiu’s reaction, she knew he must have noticed something.

"Uncle Rong, hello," Ye Wanlan extended her hand gracefully, "I’m Ye Wanlan, one of Doctor Rong’s patients."

Hearing this greeting, Rong Jingqiu forced himself to regain composure and shook her hand, "You’re being too polite. I know what that boy is capable of; his psychological counseling is not professional at all."

"Sometimes Doctor Rong still manages to improve one’s mood."

Rong Jingqiu understood that the kid was stupidly endearing, which wasn’t too bad.

"Dad, what happened to you just now?" Rong Yu caught Rong Jingqiu’s lapse and pressed on, "Why did you freeze up the moment you saw Student Ye?"

Rong Jingqiu took a few seconds before answering, "I’ve never seen someone so beautiful."

At that, Yan Tingfeng narrowed his phoenix eyes.

He knew full well that Rong Jingqiu was lying.

Rong Jingqiu also realized, without saying, that the intelligent people present knew he was hedging.

"Dad, if you talk like that, I’ll go tell my mom that you’ve been flirting outside," the only fool, Rong Yu, was overjoyed, "You wouldn’t want my mom to be so mad she leaves home, would you?"

"You little brat!" Rong Jingqiu nearly burst with anger, "If you dare spout nonsense in front of your mom, I’ll have you locked up without even water to drink."

Rong Yu immediately shut his mouth.

"Uncle Rong," Yan Tingfeng chuckled, "You’ve come a long way from Yunjing, you must be tired. Let’s go have a meal first."

"Tingfeng is thoughtful," Rong Jingqiu nodded and glanced at Ye Wanlan carefully, "Alright, let’s eat first."

The four of them entered a private room and soon, several cold dishes were served.

Rong Jingqiu seemed to be eating earnestly, but his mind was not on the meal at all.

After discovering the big issue with Ye Wanlan, he couldn’t wait to learn the truth, but he didn’t know how to broach the subject appropriately.

As if she read his mind, Ye Wanlan put down her chopsticks, "I have something I want to ask Uncle Rong for help with. Could we talk alone?"

"No problem!" Rong Jingqiu slammed the table and stood, "Let’s go."

Ye Wanlan nodded.

Watching the two leaving the private room, Rong Yu was puzzled, "What exactly is my dad doing today?"

Yan Tingfeng leisurely sipped his tea, "Can you do anything about it?"

Rong Yu: "..."

He couldn’t do anything, but he was curious!

**

Outside, in a quiet and secluded pavilion, Rong Jingqiu went straight to the point, "Miss Ye’s body, has it been occupied by an external soul?"

Unable to hide in front of a successor of the Great Purity Pulse, Ye Wanlan admitted frankly, "Yes, it was occupied by a transcendent woman for four years, and I only regained my own body not long ago."

Rong Jingqiu let out a long breath, "No wonder!"

He knew that the Rong family’s calculated time point was supposed to be about two to three years ago.

Yet the biggest incident to happen in Jiangcheng during that period was nothing more than Zhou Heyuan, the lawful eldest son of the Zhou Family, getting into a car accident and turning into a vegetative state.

The Rong family’s prophecies were never wrong, and he hadn’t expected that the person in the prophecy would have such a big issue.

Who is it?

Why would they do this?

And how were they able to do this?

"It’s unscientific, very unscientific." Rong Jingqiu paced back and forth, feeling like his head was about to explode, "How is this possible?"

"To tell the truth, I’m also investigating the bizarre aspects of this matter," Ye Wanlan said in a low voice, "If this transcendent woman can really take over others’ bodies at will, how can she ensure she won’t take over another after she relinquishes mine?"

Rong Jingqiu’s eyebrows were tightly knitted: "Exactly, this is what I’m also afraid of."

Everything has a price to pay in order to be carried out.

Could there really be such an absurdity as taking over someone else’s body and then leaving it easily?

"That’s why I want to ask Uncle Rong to help me check if there has been a sudden change in temperament among the young girls from major families and powers," Ye Wanlan nodded, "But perhaps this approach won’t work, as the transcendent woman will be more careful once she finds a new body."

"You didn’t need to mention it; I was going to look into it anyway," Rong Jingqiu took a deep breath, "Such a thing is too terrifying, nobody wants to wake up to find their bodies taken over by someone else, and you can still..."

Still maintain your composure, to a frightening extent that even he could sense.

"As the matter is already decided, why should I waste energy getting caught up in it?" Ye Wanlan spoke as if a gentle breeze was passing by, "It’s pointless and exhausting, and would only waste life."

Rong Jingqiu was deeply shaken.

With such a state of mind, could she go ask that fool who gave birth to him for psychological counseling?

Lest the fool gets sold and still haplessly counts the money.

"There’s another thing, Miss Ye, you don’t have to say if it’s inconvenient," Rong Jingqiu hesitated, "I didn’t see it clearly, but the timeline around Miss Ye seems quite unusual."

"Oh?" Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows slightly, "I do indeed prefer not to deal with you Rongs; I always end up being seen through unconsciously."

Rong Jingqiu paused: "Rong Yu? He’s not capable of that, he can only predict someone’s life while feeling their pulse."

"It’s not him," Ye Wanlan said indifferently.

Three hundred years ago, she and the Sect Leader of the Great Purity Sect, Rong Shi, were close friends.

Rong Shi was a man of few words, who mostly enjoyed solitude.

"Simply put, I was trapped by time, and only recently broke free from its prison," Ye Wanlan stated calmly, "Beyond that, I know no more."

In this life, too many strange things happened to her.

If she couldn’t figure it out in a short period of time, she would stop thinking about it, as her most important task was to revitalise all of Shenzhou.

Rong Jingqiu didn’t feel it appropriate to ask further and thought for a moment: "In a little while, could Miss Ye come to Yunjing? My father is in seclusion, and I want to ask him to take a look at you."

"No problem," Ye Wanlan’s smile was faint, "but let’s not let anyone beyond us know about our conversation today, Uncle Rong."

"Certainly," Rong Jingqiu said seriously, "I understand the gravity of the situation."

"Thank you. If Uncle Rong needs help with anything, I will also do my best," Ye Wanlan nodded, "It’s getting late; I’m going to pick up my brother from school."

She returned to the private room, said a few more words to Yan Tingfeng, and then took her leave.

"Dad, what were you and Student Ye talking about?" Rong Yu asked, "You didn’t upset her, did you?"

"Get lost, a dog’s mouth can’t spit out ivory," Rong Jingqiu was frustrated, "With logic like yours, how can you even be a psychotherapist? Don’t go causing harm to the students."

Rong Yu protested: "I didn’t do anything!"

"Uncle Rong, take care," Yan Tingfeng bowed his head and then glanced at his own palm, his eyelashes slowly dropping.

**

After Rong Jingqiu left, he immediately made several phone calls: "Yes, check if there’s been any sudden change in temperament among the young girls from major Yunjing families recently. If not in Yunjing, look in the Northern Lands and the Starman Federal Empire."

A voice arose from behind him: "I’m gone for just one day, and you start looking for the opposite sex? And young ones too?"

"Wife?" Rong Jingqiu turned his head, his eyes lit up, "How did you come to Jiangcheng? I was about to send Xiao Qi to find you."

Su Yingxia: "Anyway, I didn’t come to see you."

Rong Jingqiu: "..."

That stung.

"Wife, don’t be angry," Rong Jingqiu soothed her, "We couldn’t possibly compete with the Xiang Family. They have a treasure vault; we do not. We have always been poor."

Although the Xiang Imperial Family nearly perished in the war of years past, even the youngest Princess Yongle chose to burn down Yongle Palace to avoid the enemy’s humiliation.

But a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. The Ning Dynasty, which lasted over three hundred years, meant that the Xiang Family that came after the Imperial Family must have been much richer than the Jianghu Sects.

Not to mention, during the Ning Dynasty Period, only the Heavenly Sound Sect headquarters was in Yunjing because, on the surface, Heavenly Sound was just a music workshop.

Now that unseen forces had infiltrated Fengyuan, it was clear that the Six Great Sects had been entirely destroyed, with only a few disciples’ families beginning to rebuild.

The war had erupted too suddenly, and even the Great Purity Sect had not foreseen such a calamity for the Ning Dynasty, resulting in the loss of countless skills and secret texts that couldn’t be recovered.

Su Yingxia turned her head away: "Don’t talk to me; I’m sulking."

She was very fond of the high-end jewelry series by Pulling the Sky Company, but sadly, the spots had been given to the Xiang Family.

The Pulling the Sky headquarters was in Jiangcheng, which is why she had come to Jiangcheng.

"Wife, this..." Rong Jingqiu was about to say something when his phone rang again. He answered it, "Hold on, I’m taking a call."

Su Yingxia said: "You go ahead, I’m going to the Pulling the Sky headquarters to take a look."

"Pulling the Sky headquarters?" Ye Wanlan was on the other end of the phone and overheard, "I own that. Does Uncle Rong need something?"
