Chapter 154: 154 The princess’s relics, just met up like this? [2 more]

In the image, the girl is dressed in black combat gear, with a mask on her face, revealing only a pair of blue eyes.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Look at these moves, definitely not inferior to the few combat maniacs I know, but I thought hard and none of the females on the combat rankings have this fighting style.

[Cultured Person]: Indeed, a very brutal fighting style, Rich Sister, do you have any clue?

Just as others were about to click on the image, the next second, all the pictures in the group disappeared.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Ah! Where are my pictures? How come the ones I saved in my phone are gone too?!

[Crazy Scientist]: Maybe one of your part-time jobs angered a hacker on the hacker rankings, think carefully if you’ve left any loose ends.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Nonsense, that’s slander! I have yet to even hold a girl’s hand, except in kindergarten!

[World’s Richest]: Embarrassing.

After deleting the photo, Ye Wanlan didn’t send a message and turned off her phone.

"Miss Ye, there’s another very important matter," Sai Xiuya said in a low voice, "Your fame from the fight in the underground arena has sparked many inquiries about you, some are even offering high rewards."

Ye Wanlan remained undisturbed: "Mhm, I know, it’s inevitable."

Yet this was the first time she had shown her skills in public, and all the major global databases failed to match her own data.

To find her was only possible if she wished it so.

"Many people also came to the Sai Family to ask, but grandfather always said you entered the arena out of boredom; even we don’t know where you came from," Sai Xiuya laughed, "And they actually believed that answer."

"Good," Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "With the Du Family toppled, as long as your Sai Family does not make any mistakes, you can secure the power."

"It’s all thanks to Miss Ye’s help. This is the gift that grandfather asked me to give you." Sai Xiuya produced a sandalwood box, "Grandfather said this item has been passed down through the generations of the Sai Family, but he’s unsure if it’s an artifact from Shenzhou."

He opened the box, revealing a Golden Step Shake adorned with Imperial Green Jade in the shape of a phoenix, its tassels hanging with jade tinkling softly.

Ye Wanlan’s eyelashes trembled as she reached out and picked up the Golden Step Shake.

How could she not recognize this accessory?

It had been one of Princess Jingan’s favorite pieces of jewelry.

After her beloved aunt was quartered by horses, all her jewels were plundered.

"Yes," Ye Wanlan said softly, "Thank your grandfather for me."

"Miss Ye, you’re too polite," Sai Xiuya bowed with his hands clasped, "I will continue to search for Shenzhou’s antiquities for you. If you have no other requests, I shall take my leave."

Ye Wanlan came back to reality: "Alright, farewell."

"Miss Ye, farewell," Sai Xiuya left after saying goodbye.

Ye Wanlan pondered for a bit, then placed the Golden Step Shake together with the Concentricity Pendant: "Aunt, let’s go home together."

"Wuwuwu, Her Highness Jingan really had a tragic end," the Qingyun Pendant cried again, "I only heard from people who went to Yan Mountain in recent years that after the four Royal Nobles perished in battle, Fengyuan had no one to lead the troops, and it was up to Her Highness Jingan to go."

"Mhm," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "Aunt has always been brave, without her, that palace chaos would not have been won."

The daughters of the Xiang Imperial Family need not disguise themselves as men, for they are intrinsically strong, never being less than the men.

Professor Xue and Professor Foo still had academic commitments, and with no time to rest, they had to board a plane back to Yunjing.

"Professors, this was given to me by the Young Family Head of the Sai Family just now," Ye Wanlan handed the sandalwood box to Professor Xue, "This Golden Step Shake is a relic of Princess Jingan, please take good care of it at Yunjing Museum."

Professor Foo inhaled sharply: "What, more?!"

The items Ye Wanlan gave them, every single one they took out, were capable of shaking the cultural world.

"I told you our Wanlan is an antique detector, right?" Professor Xue said proudly, "Look at what we’ve gained from just one trip, our bureau chief and Curator Xiang are going to be over the moon."

Professor Foo rolled his eyes: "Yes yes yes, you and your Wanlan."

Moral integrity indeed.

"Then we’ll be off," Professor Xue said earnestly, "Wanlan, when you come to Yunjing, make sure to tell me in advance so I can host you for a meal. You will come, won’t you?"

Ye Wanlan smiled slightly: "I will."

The first step of Pulling the Sky Company’s plan was to break into the Yunjing market.

As the current capital of Shenzhou, the center of economy, culture, politics, and geography, she naturally needed to go there.

And there were the Lin Family and the Su Family!

"Ah Lan, we should be leaving as well," Lin Huaijin patted his chest, "You have no idea, I haven’t slept well these past few days; I’m still waiting to go back and celebrate your birthday."

"Uncle, we’re here in Yan City, why not stay another day and enjoy ourselves?" Ye Wanlan soothed him, "Wenli’s been studying hard, and Auntie’s been busy with work, why not relax a bit?"

The herbs she needed could only be found in the desolate lands of the northwest.

This trip was the perfect opportunity to take some back for a new prescription for Lin Weilan.

"Alright alright, you’re quite the handful," Lin Huaijin sighed, "But honestly, this is my first time in Yan City."

"Auntie, this jewelry set is for you," Ye Wanlan handed another box to Khor Peiqing, "It’s Dragon Stone Type, it has restorative properties."

Khor Peiqing pursed her lips and shook her head: "It’s too valuable."

"It’s not, please take good care of it," Ye Wanlan held her hand, "I’ve made you sad before, it won’t happen again, I will eat every cake you buy for me."

Khor Peiqing was stunned: "Ah Lan..."

She remembered the past four years, every time she brought a cake for Ye Wanlan, it was always thrown on the ground.

Deep love begets deep resentment.

But now, she truly felt at peace.

"Mom," Lin Wenli suddenly spoke up, "don’t be melodramatic; it’s not like you."

Khor Peiqing glared at him, "You’re really getting more and more out of line."

Lin Wenli: "It was brought by cousin sister."

Ye Wanlan: "I admit my mistake."

Khor Peiqing was amused and broke into laughter; then she purposely straightened her face, "Alright, enough chit-chat. It’s noon, let’s go have lunch."

Perhaps since she ran away from that place, came to Shenzhou, met Lin Huaijin, and then gave birth to Lin Wenli...

This family was the greatest gift to her.

The past didn’t seem so important anymore.

"I’ve reserved a restaurant," Yan Tingfeng coughed lightly, smiling slightly, "Let’s go together."

Lin Huaijin looked at him warily, then stood on Ye Wanlan’s right side, blocking Yan Tingfeng’s line of sight.

The meal turned out to be quite joyful.

Xiang Lefeng took the initiative to become a tour guide for the Lin Family trio, introducing the various sights of Yan City.

In the restaurant, Yan Tingfeng poured a cup of tea.

Bing He ran in excitedly, "Sir... Miss Ye, just now squads 1 and 723 had a run-in. They went to catch someone. Someone sneaky has slipped into Yan City, not from Shenzhou, probably from Global Center."

Ye Wanlan looked up, "Global Center?"

"Yeah, there’s nothing much to it, but this person looks a bit crazy and stealthy, wearing beggar’s clothes, definitely not a decent person," Bing He said cheerfully. "Ill-intentioned visitors, Squad 723 has found them and they’ve already set up a trap, just waiting for this beggar-clad person to walk into it."

Ye Wanlan’s ears accurately picked up on the words "beggar’s clothes".

She fell silent for a moment, then lowered her head to unlock her phone and privately messaged Ghostbuster Bro.

[YN]: Are you still in Wanta Country?

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Hehe, nope, bro went for some fish and has just entered Shenzhou territory. I thought the guy at the tournament might be from Shenzhou, so I came to check it out. Any instructions, Sister YN?

Ye Wanlan pressed her hand against her forehead.

She just knew it.

"I’ll be out for a bit," Ye Wanlan stood up, nodding slightly towards Yan Tingfeng.

"Miss Ye, let me accompany you," Bing He immediately said. "Your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, and with my protection—"

He suddenly tripped over his words.

Yan Tingfeng casually glanced at Bing He, his eyes carrying a faint smile, "Why stop halfway through? What kind of bad habit is that?"

Bing He: "..."

He felt so ashamed; he wanted to slap himself.

How could he have said such nonsense about protecting Miss Ye?

Ye Wanlan didn’t care; she put on her earphones and took her phone out the door.

Based on what Bing He had said earlier, Ghostbuster Bro must have just arrived.

After walking a while, Ye Wanlan saw a youngster in beggar’s clothes from a distance.

To call it beggar’s clothes was not quite right; it was just a garment with lots of patches, which could somewhat be considered a fashion statement.

Every now and then, he would even somersault, humming a tuneless ditty, appearing to be very cheerful and open.

Ye Wanlan: "..."

Where did this fool come from?

She deeply questioned the capability of the members of the Global Center’s Psychic Affairs Office. Could they really handle supernatural cases effectively with such behavior?

It was no wonder Squad 723 pegged him as suspicious.

Ye Wanlan sighed softly and once again unlocked her phone to privately message Ghostbuster Bro.

[YN]: What are you sneaking around for?

The young man about to do another somersault also glanced at his phone and was so startled that he immediately stood up straight, quickly looking left and right.

There’s no one around?

The beggar-clad youngster was quite puzzled and could only respond with question marks.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: ???

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Sister YN, don’t scare me, I’m afraid of ghosts.

[YN]: Turn around.
