Chapter 386: 386 Young Master Yan’s thunderous tactics, it’s time for the mother and daughter to meet [2 more updates]

Upon hearing those three words, the middle-aged man’s face lit up even brighter.

Although Extreme Path repeatedly instructed not to lay a hand on innocent civilians, the allure of ten billion was too great, and he still added the bounty task to the task list.

The middle-aged man thought it through well, Pulling the Sky Company was not part of Global Center, and Extreme Path only managed affairs within Global Center.

Even if the Jidao Leader came, he could not find any faults with him.

However, the next second, the middle-aged man’s smile completely froze.

With a "thud!", his face stiffened, and he fell heavily to the ground, quickly turning completely black and unrecognizable!

"Ah—!"

A younger Lord let out a shriek, his face instantly turning pale.

What kind of power was this?!

It didn’t look like a common poison, could it really be...

the long-lost Gu Art?!

But if it was Gu Art, how come they saw no Hex Parasites?

This was also the first time the several Lords witnessed Yan Tingfeng taking action, leaving them with nothing but awe.

No wonder Extreme Path had swiftly risen to become one of the major forces of Global Center just twenty-some years after its establishment.

Their leader’s power was indeed unfathomably deep.

"Alright, there’s nothing urgent anymore, let’s elect the new Fifteenth Lord." Yan Tingfeng stood up, "When screening tasks later, don’t disappoint me."

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, he slowly walked out of the main door.

By the time everyone regained their senses, the young man’s figure had already completely disappeared.

"Thump, thump—"

With the colossal pressure lifted, several Lords who survived the ordeal fell to the ground, their backs soaked with cold sweat.

"You all saw what the master meant—" the Left Protector coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, "No matter the amount, whoever dares to harm innocent civilians next will end up like the former Fifteenth Lord, clear?"

The Lords echoed in unison: "Clear!"

"Alright, disperse." The Left Protector spoke indifferently, "Shortly, I will issue the announcement for the new appointment of the Fifteenth Lord."

The Lords’ legs were terribly weak as they supported each other to leave the hall.

"The master hasn’t bothered with internal affairs for a long time." The Right Protector stroked his chin, "Why did he suddenly intervene this time? And with so many tasks, how did the master discover this one?"

There were too many members in Extreme Path, divided into Supernatural Members and ordinary members, with the ratio of the former to the latter being 1:99.

Members who could serve as Lords all possessed certain superpowers.

The Left Protector frowned in thought for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

"Hey, could it be that someone high up in Pulling the Sky has connections with the master?" The Right Protector suddenly clapped his hands, "And then the master bumped into it at the task site, tsk tsk, what bad luck."

The Left Protector thought again: "Your guess makes some sense."

"You know," continued the Right Protector, "have you noticed, after the master came back this time, he seemed considerably more normal?" "In the past few years, whenever I saw him, I almost couldn’t breathe under the fierceness around him."

The Left Protector glanced at him: "Isn’t that a good thing?"

"It is a good thing." The Right Protector muttered, "I just want to know what exactly the master went through to become so milder, as if he’d cleansed all his impurities."

"You talk too much." The Left Protector coldly said, "Hurry up and clean up the trash."

To prevent any more accidents, Ye Wanlan took Fang Qingli and others aboard a private plane overnight, returning to Shenzhou.

Perhaps hidden enemies did not expect their departure to be so swift; throughout the flight, they encountered no mishaps.

By nine in the morning, Ye Wanlan arrived in South City.

Her nerves had been strained the entire time, and now relaxed, drowsiness overwhelmed her, and she fell asleep in the car.

"Young Master." Bing He was somewhat worried, "Miss Ye is alright, isn’t she? Her body..."

Even the formidable Ye Wanlan was, after all, just an eighteen-year-old girl.

"It’s nothing." Yan Tingfeng checked Ye Wanlan’s pulse and said indifferently, "She’s just overly exhausted, let her sleep well. Prepare the medicinal meal and have it ready before Xiao Wan wakes up."

Ye Wanlan slept until four in the afternoon.

With ample rest, her spirits had greatly improved.

Upon picking up her phone, there were over a dozen missed calls from Lin Huaijin.

Ye Wanlan called back.

"Hello? Ah Lan, weren’t you coming back today?" Lin Huaijin asked urgently, "Where are you? I’ll come pick you up."

"Uncle, I arrived in South City this morning, I was just too tired and took a nap." Ye Wanlan reassured him, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be back at the old house tonight to have dinner with you, just wait for me."

"Ah, I’ve been so worried these past few days." Lin Huaijin’s heart still felt uneasy, "You tell me, why do you seem to attract storms and bloodshed? You just go to Global Center, and then there’s news about your clothes being burned, fortunately, it was nothing serious..."

Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrow: "Uncle, think positively, even if there had been trouble, it would only have been with clothes, I am fine."

"What? You want there to be trouble? Are you trying to send your uncle to the hospital?" Lin Huaijin exclaimed.

Ye Wanlan merely laughed, not retorting but quietly listening to Lin Huaijin’s rambling.

During her days at the Global Center, indeed, it was fraught with dangers.

But whether it was being chased by multiple cars or being hunted by mercenaries, such news would absolutely not leak.

This was also a good thing for her.

If Lin Huaijin knew that Global Center wasn’t as wonderful as reported in international news, his heart might not bear it.

Ye Wanlan pondered.

Then, before officially going to Global Center, she should condition Lin Huaijin’s heart a bit.

Meanwhile, in Harbor City, at the Kang Family’s home.

"Mom, Dad." Kang Mufeng set down the gifts he was carrying, "How are we spending tonight?"

Zhu Qingxian merely nodded slightly towards Old Master Kang and Old Madam Kang without speaking, her demeanor unchangingly indifferent.

"Mufeng and Qingxian are back?" Old Madam Kang smiled, "Just in time, hurry and get ready, we’ll go to Jiangcheng for the New Year."

"Jiangcheng?" Kang Mufeng looked up, "Why the sudden plan to celebrate New Year in Jiangcheng? We don’t have any relatives there, do we?"

"We don’t, but there happens to be a business deal to work out with a family from Jiangcheng, and they invited us over for New Year." Old Madam Kang smiled slightly, "I heard that the headquarters of the renowned Pulling the Sky Company, which shone at the international fashion show these days, is situated in Jiangcheng. It’s a rare holiday, so we might as well take a look."

Although her face was smiling, her eyes were cold.

Ever since Zhu Qingxian married into the Kang Family, Kang Mufeng often didn’t come home, surely instigated by Zhu Qingxian.

The couple was gone for three or four months at a time, sometimes even not returning to Harbor City for a whole year.

It’s all Zhu Qingxian’s doing!

If only that was the problem—after their marriage, Kang Mufeng and Zhu Qingxian hadn’t had any children.

The next year, Old Master Kang couldn’t sit still any longer and strongly demanded that Kang Mufeng divorce Zhu Qingxian to marry someone from the An Family.

However, Kang Mufeng hardly came back, his parents barely saw him a few times.

A decade later, Kang Mufeng and Zhu Qingxian still hadn’t brought up having children, leaving the Kang Family to grudgingly accept it.

Fortunately, the daughter Zhu Qingxian had with her former husband turned out to be promising, securing first place in this year’s Physics Competition Team and participating as a regular guest in "Treasures of the Divine Land," an upcoming globally broadcasted show.

Even though Ye Wanlan had not a trace of Kang Family blood, being so outstanding, Old Master Kang and Old Madam Kang wouldn’t mind.

The Kang Family didn’t lack young descendants, but they lacked a genius like Ye Wanlan.

Since Zhu Qingxian was now the Kang Family’s daughter-in-law, her daughter of course had to become a member of the Kang Family.

Old Madam Kang had not expected the road to bringing Ye Wanlan back to the Kang Family to be fraught with obstacles.

Initially, they had pinned their hopes on the Zhou Family, but in a blink of an eye, the Zhou Family had changed drastically, Zhou Hechen went to prison, and the Zhou Corporation fell into the hands of Zhou Heyuan, who had been dormant for over two years.

Waiting any longer, Old Master Kang and Old Madam Kang feared other mishaps might occur.

They couldn’t wait any longer; it was better to directly demand the person from the Lin Family.

How could a mere branch family compare to the top family of Harbor City, the Kang Family?

Kang Mufeng didn’t respond immediately but first looked towards Zhu Qingxian: "Qingxian?"

Zhu Qingxian still had a cold, indifferent demeanor: "I’m fine with it, it’s a vacation anyway."

"Alright." Kang Mufeng then nodded, "I’ll drive."

The journey from Harbor City to Jiangcheng wasn’t far; three hours later, their car arrived at the villa area where Lin Family’s old house was located.

"Your mentioned business partner is here?" Kang Mufeng inquired, "Not one of the Five Major Families of Jiangcheng?"

"No." Old Madam Kang stepped forward first, "Just follow along."

At that time, the lights at Lin Family Old House were bright, and laughter could occasionally be heard, clearly indicating that a family gathering was in full swing.

Just then, the door was knocked on, breaking the pleasant mood.

Lin Weilan coughed lightly: "Steward."

Steward Lin responded and went to open the door, but paused for a moment, puzzled: "Who are—"

He hadn’t seen the Kang Family members before, but given their extraordinary attire, they must also be from a major family.

"Qingxian, don’t stand behind, come to the front." Old Madam Kang bypassed Steward Lin and stepped into the hall, "It’s been over a decade, isn’t it time to see your daughter?"

It was time for mother and daughter to reunite.
