Chapter 153: 153 Shocking! She is a Person of Shenzhou [1 Update]

Under the sunlight, the Concentricity Pendant glimmered brilliantly.

Golden dragons and phoenixes, jade rings, openwork craftsmanship.

Apart from that, the words "Yongning" were also engraved on this Concentricity Pendant.

It was rare for a princess to have a title at birth, and this title not only signified Daning’s "eternal peace," but also contained Ning Zhaozong and Empress Rongde’s affection for Princess Yongning.

Such ancient jewelry craftsmanship was the crystallization of the wisdom of Ning Dynasty artisans that no one else could replicate.

Under the heavens, this was the only piece.

Professor Xue’s eyes widened instantly, and he was so shocked that he jumped up, "This this this this is..."

Professor Foo’s reaction was even more intense; he retreated a few steps and fell onto a chair, clutching his heart and rolling his eyes back.

He must have seen it wrong!

For those like them who studied history and also specialized in archaeology, the artifact was much too precious.

"The two professors haven’t seen it wrong, this is Princess Yongning’s Concentricity Pendant." Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "When I was buried under Yan Mountain, I inadvertently picked up this jade pendant. I think the best choice is to have Yunjing Museum protect it."

Last time Yunjing Museum had helped her a great deal, and she had only given them a set of ancient jewelry made with modern craftsmanship.

After all, antiques could only exert their greatest value in places suitable for them.

The Qingyun Pendant began to whimper, "Tongxin, go in peace. I will remember you, stand by the princess for you, and take good care of Her Highness. You go with ease!"

"Old Foo, hold on!" Professor Xue supported Professor Foo, "You’re too weak, at least I’m still standing!"

Professor Foo, infuriated, felt his heart twitch, "Go to hell!"

He was just too excited.

"This is the Concentricity Pendant, are you sure you want to just hand it over?" Professor Xue calmed down, "Do you know if this jade pendant were to appear at an auction, it would fetch a sky-high price! You..."

"Professor." Ye Wanlan interrupted him, "I am a person from Shenzhou."

Professor Xue was visibly moved, unable to help but be touched.

This was, after all, Princess Yongning’s Concentricity Pendant that she had worn since childhood, its value simply incalculable.

But he estimated that once it was up for auction, even a price of tens of billions was possible.

Tens of billions.

This was a number that ninety-nine point nine percent of people would not refuse, unless they had no interest in money.

Yet Ye Wanlan gave him such a simple answer with just five words—

She is a person from Shenzhou.

However, Professor Xue knew that these five words were worth more than tens of thousands of gold.

"Alright!" Professor Xue took a deep breath, "On behalf of the Cultural Relics Bureau Archaeology Center and Yunjing Museum, I thank you. This is a great gift; less than a first-class merit."

Ye Wanlan claimed it was picked up by chance, trivializing the matter, but she had been buried under Yan Mountain for eighteen hours in an extremely dangerous situation.

"Yes, once the Archaeological Center has studied the pendant, I’ll have Curator Xiang come to take the Concentricity Pendant home." Ye Wanlan said, "Professors, do not go into Yan Mountain for the time being. When I was trapped, I took a careful look, and the mechanical techniques were constantly changing, indecipherable to outsiders."

"No wonder," Professor Foo also caught his second wind, "The King of Yan truly is a dragon among men; his mechanical techniques are still operational even today."

The Qingyun Pendant was very proud, "Of course! Our Lord Prince Yan is super amazing!"

Professor Xue nodded, thoroughly in agreement, "But if King Yan’s mechanical techniques are so formidable, won’t we never be able to fully enter Yan Mountain in this lifetime?"

"Not at all," Ye Wanlan replied offhandedly, "Just wait for him to come and shut down the mechanism himself."

Professor Xue: "?"

He couldn’t quite grasp the meaning of her words.

"Professors, there’s one more thing I need your help with," Ye Wanlan pondered for a moment, "I need a list of cultural relics."

She had already devised a plan—all the artifacts from Shenzhou that were looted would be retrieved one by one.

The treasures of Shenzhou must never fall into foreign hands.

"No problem at all, a trivial matter," Professor Xue agreed immediately. "If there’s anything else you need, just ask!"

Ye Wanlan: "I’m hungry."

Professor Xue: "..."

Professor Foo: "..."

They then watched in silence as Ye Wanlan elegantly finished a breakfast meant for five people.

"Being able to eat is a blessing; it truly is," Lin Huaijin was delighted, "Ah Lan, eat more, so your body gets even better."

Lin Wenli sipped some hot porridge and asked, "Shall we go back to Jiangcheng together today?"

"Yes, but the second batch of goods has arrived; I’ll go to the checkpoint to inspect the merchandise," Ye Wanlan nodded, "Care to join me?"

Lin Huaijin was a bit puzzled, "What goods?"

"My brother said that Sister Lan and the Sai Family of Wanta Country have reached an agreement, monopolizing nearly half of the Jade Market," Jiang Zhengxue waggled her finger, "Now our company doesn’t have to worry anymore."

Jiang Xulin sneered at her, "Since when did it become our company? You’re still a student. What nonsense are you talking about?"

"So what if I’m in school? I can be a bodyguard," Jiang Zhengxue retorted, "Do you know that sometimes you can only talk with your fists?"

Ye Wanlan said calmly, "That’s true indeed."

For dealing with certain people, fists are indeed more effective.

Lin Huaijin raised his voice, "What? You’ve been to Wanta Country? Do you want to worry me to death?"

Ye Wanlan immediately admitted her fault, meek and docile, "I’m sorry, Uncle, I was wrong."

Perhaps in front of real family members, they would never focus on how formidable she was, but would always be concerned about whether she got hurt or encountered trouble.

"You..." Lin Huaijin was choked up.

He wanted to continue chastising her, yet she called him Uncle again.

"Forget it," Lin Huaijin sighed, but still couldn’t help rambling on, "Uncle knows you’re very capable, but you must always know your own limits, and protect yourself first before thinking of other things."

Ye Wanlan listened earnestly, "Got it, Uncle."

Lin Huaijin: "..."

Lin Huaijin had a headache.

For the first time, he realized that he was a person without principles and positions—just a call of ’Uncle’ and he surrendered unconditionally.

Lin Huaijin turned his head and saw Lin Wenli staring blankly at his plate. He slapped his shoulder, "Wenli, why are you eating so little? Eat more, you’re going back to continue training with your cousin later."

Lin Wenli: "..."

He expressionlessly grabbed another bun.

It was he who was injured, but he had grown accustomed to it.

**

At ten in the morning, the border region between Shenzhou and Wanta Country.

The checkpoint was already under martial law, and the Sai Family’s Young Family Head, Sai Xiuya, was the one delivering goods today.

Ye Wanlan checked this batch of goods.

Apart from the first batch that had already been transported to the headquarters of Pulling the Sky Company, the leftover rough stones were indeed all top-grade jade.

"Miss Ye," Sai Xiuya saluted her with a fist, "I’m very honored to see you again. I have good news for you; the Du Family no longer exists in Wanta Country."

Ye Wanlan’s eyebrows lifted, "Oh?"

"The Du Family had many enemies; as soon as that so-called master disappeared without reason, the Du Family fell apart immediately," Sai Xiuya chuckled, "And this is largely thanks to Miss Ye fighting for my Sai Family in the arena, shattering them. The great kindness and debt owed to Miss Ye by my Sai Family is truly beyond repayment."

"Hmm, it’s been a pleasure working together," Ye Wanlan pondered for a moment, "Then I’ll entrust another matter to you. Screen all antiques on the market in Wanta Country, and buy up any that are cultural relics from Shenzhou."

Sai Xiuya nodded, "Alright, I certainly won’t let you down."

Her phone ’dinged’, and Ye Wanlan looked down at the group chat.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Bros and sis, big trouble! Someone snatched my job ahead of me.

[Cultural Person]: Isn’t your job your name? Who else is competing with you in that field?

[Ghostbuster Bro]: What nonsense are you spouting? Don’t I do legitimate work? There’s a sorcerer from Wanta Country, a fugitive who ran over to Global Center, and I was in charge of pursuing him, but the guy vanished days ago!

[Ghostbuster Bro]: I finally figured it out, he didn’t just disappear, he evaporated from this world! No bones or skin left, how terrifying is that?

Reading this message, Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

No remains left behind... Beiming Arts!

Only Beiming Arts could kill a person so stealthily.

Could it be that the Beiming Sect also left behind a legacy?

She could deduce that the disappearance of Master Danwei was Tingfeng’s doing.

Intelligent people need not too many words to understand each other.

[World’s Richest]: If the person you’re supposed to arrest is gone, you don’t have to work overtime; isn’t that a happy occasion?

[Ghostbuster Bro]: But when such a person pops up, can we sleep peacefully? I still have to work overtime when I go back, and without any compensation.

[World’s Richest]: Follow my lead; I just wave my hand, and money keeps rolling in.

[Cultural Person]: Rich Sister, you’re really overestimating Ghostbuster Bro. You’re someone who can set off a financial storm in minutes, while he’s just a corporate drone.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Scram, scram, scram. But I made a great discovery! I snuck out to see a fighting match in Wanta Country and came across a highly skilled contestant, a very young girl. Take a look and see if you recognize who she is?

Saying so, he posted several high-definition photos he had taken in the group chat.
