Chapter 426: 426 Wanguo Group CTO! Genius Forgemaster! [2 more updates]
[Always Working Like a Horse]: I know her.
[Ghostbuster Bro]: ?!
[Ghostbuster Bro]: Sister Cow-Horse, you’ve also been missing for almost a year now. It seems like only Miss Ye can summon you.
[World’s Richest]: What have you been busy with recently? I went to Wanguo Group and didn’t see you there.
[Always Working Like a Horse]: Please refer to my group nickname.
[Crazy Scientist]: Even Wanguo Group’s CTO refers to herself as a workhorse, so what does that make us?
[Cultured Person]: Of course, we’re not fit to be workhorses. Whether it’s oxen plowing fields or horses pulling carts, they all get to rest, while you’ve been overworking for a week straight.
[Crazy Scientist]: Shut it! You damned salaried slave!
Estelle Rubinstein, the person in question, was a famous workaholic, also known as the "King of Scrolls."
Besides her astounding talent, what allowed her to ascend to the position of CTO of Wanguo Group so early was her extraordinary energy.
According to Global Times, Estelle slept only five hours a day and had strict regulations for her daily schedule.
Bedtime at eleven o’clock, wake up at four, finish exercising, then start the workday.
[Always Working Like a Horse]: I just happened to have a signal and saw Miss Ye’s message, and I just happen to be able to lend a hand.
[Always Working Like a Horse]: A few years ago, when I went to the Northern Lands, I had an in-depth cooperation with the Valenkine Family and met a blacksmith from their family. This blacksmith crafted a pair of glasses for me that solved many of my problems.
If one only considers the Valenkine Family as a clan that forges weapons, they’d be gravely mistaken.
"Heaven and Earth as the forge, all things can be crafted" is not merely a rumor but a true evaluation.
[Miss Ye]: I need the Valenkine Family to help me repair a weapon.
[Always Working Like a Horse]: No problem. Miss Ye, you can use my name. Now we’re all using electronic passes, I’ll send it over to you.
[Miss Ye]: Thanks for the trouble.
[Always Working Like a Horse]: It’s no trouble. I’ve been wanting to see Miss Ye for a long time. It’s only that my mission is so urgent and it’s a long-term one; otherwise, I’d definitely like to catch up with you more.
[Miss Ye]: Anytime, just let me know.
[Crazy Scientist]: Can I, I, I, I have this privilege too?
[Ghostbuster Bro]: Shut it! Who are you to arrange a meeting with Miss Ye whenever you want!
Ye Wanlan received an electronic pass that Estelle had sent her; the next second, the other party’s avatar dimmed again.
It appeared that the CTO of Wanguo Group had gone off the grid once more.
Ye Wanlan frowned slightly.
What kind of long-term mission could keep Estelle so busy?
She thought for a moment and sent a message.
[Miss Ye]: If you need help, you can reach out to me anytime.
Ye Wanlan opened the pass that Estelle had sent, which bore the Valenkine Family’s seal and signature.
Farouk Valianky.
That name was very unfamiliar to her.
The only person she knew from the Valenkine Family was the clan leader from three hundred years ago.
After pondering for a while, Ye Wanlan posted another message in the group chat.
[Miss Ye]: How is Farouk Valianky’s blacksmithing skill?
[Crazy Scientist]: Wait a minute! Who?! As expected of Sister Cow-Horse, the people you know are all so powerful!
[World’s Richest]: Farouk Valianky is the Valenkine Family’s genius blacksmith, only 24 years old. His forging skills have already surpassed the elders of his family.
[World’s Richest]: He came into prominence during the years you were missing, so it’s normal that you don’t know about him.
After Ye Wanlan gathered information on Farouk Valianky, she stepped out the door and happened to run into Yan Tingfeng.
"Xiao Wan?" Yan Tingfeng stopped in his tracks, turned his head. "What’s wrong? Do you need help?"
"No, I just need to make another trip to the Northern Lands," Ye Wanlan said, "I’m afraid that only the Valenkine Family’s blacksmiths can fix the Divine Might Spear, so I have to go."
"Okay," Yan Tingfeng did not pry further, simply adding, "I’ll accompany you."
Ye Wanlan hummed an acknowledgement, "We’ll depart immediately, no delay. Go to the Southern Frontier to retrieve the Divine Might Spear, then head to the Northern Lands."
**
Late at night, Southern Frontier.
These days, the archaeological team had hardly rested, working through the night to build a protective tomb for Huo Jingyu’s remains.
"What? To the Northern Lands?" Professor Xue’s voice pitched up sharply, "I’ve heard that the Valenkine Family’s blacksmiths are also very skilled in combat. What if they try to claim the Divine Might Spear for themselves..."
"No, Professor Xue, trust me," Ye Wanlan reassured him calmly, "Of course, I can’t prevent others from being covetous, but I will definitely bring back the Shen Wei Spear, damaged or not."
"I’m not worried about the Shen Wei Spear, I’m worried about you," Professor Xue stomped his foot, "Wanlan, take a rest."
Ye Wanlan smiled, "Once I’ve repaired the Shen Wei Spear, I will rest well, and resume work in March."
Seeing her insistence and unable to persuade her otherwise, Professor Xue had no choice but to watch her board the helicopter and leave.
After ten hours, it was already the following morning in Shenzhou, and Ye Wanlan finally once again arrived in the Northern Lands.
The Northern Lands, Valianky City.
It is said that this was the first city to appear in the Northern Lands, and all the city walls, palace buildings, and other structures were created by the Valenkine Family from generation to generation.
Just off the helicopter, Ye Wanlan received a call from Lin Qin.
"Cousin, the Lin Family has postponed the assessment," Lin Qin said with a serious voice, "It was Lin Shiyuan who suggested it, is there any trickery involved?"
"Oh?" Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows slightly, "It seems she’s guessed that you’re putting on an act, and she’s surmised that you have my support, but she may not know that it is I."
Lin Qin’s expression was slightly startled, "Does she intend to increase the difficulty of the assessment to find out your strength, cousin?"
"It’s also possible that she wants to sabotage the assessment to prevent you from becoming one of the core disciples," Ye Wanlan said with a faint smile, "However, everything should proceed according to plan. You know, in the face of absolute strength, all schemes and conspiracies are futile."
The reason she had had Lin Qin learn the ancient zither piece "Midnight Song" was precisely because it was extremely difficult to play, yet unlike the "Battle-Breaking Music," it wasn’t lost to time.
In the entire Lin Family, the number of people who could play "Midnight Song" could be counted on one hand.
If Lin Qin could play a part of it during the assessment, her status would instantly skyrocket, becoming a key protection target of the Elders Council.
In this way, Lin Qin’s safety would be greatly secured before her trip to Yunjing.
"Understood," Lin Qin nodded, "Enemy doesn’t move, I don’t move, cousin, rest assured, I know what to do."
With Yan Tingfeng’s hearing, it would have been difficult not to overhear this conversation.
He smiled shallowly in thought, "Cousin indeed has grown a lot."
The last time she was kidnapped, I was negligent," Ye Wanlan sighed lightly, "After that incident, she grew up overnight, but I would have preferred it otherwise."
All growth comes from pain.
Yan Tingfeng said, "I’ve already given Young Master Shaoyu a heads up, and he will be at the cousin’s assessment."
With Xiang Shaoyu present, even if someone wanted to meddle in the assessment, it would be difficult.
"Young Master Shaoyu?" Ye Wanlan’s eyebrows slightly raised, "Tingting invited him, what antique did she pull out this time?"
Her naming was so smooth it caught Yan Tingfeng off-guard.
A suspicious redness climbed up his fair ears, and even the skin on his neck was tinged.
"No," Yan Tingfeng turned his head away, coughing softly, "He knows he’s helping you, and he’s afraid he won’t make it in time if he doesn’t run."
Ye Wanlan spoke unhurriedly, "Then I should thank him at the time, don’t you think, Tingting?"
Yan Tingfeng fell silent for a moment, then spoke, "Not bad."
He always felt he had shot himself in the foot.
Bing He, holding a pair of binoculars, said with some bewilderment, "Ghostbuster Bro, did the Young Master just blush?"
Tie Ma’s body tensed up instantaneously, his speech stumbling rarely, "No, that’s not possible, right?"
What sort of man was their Young Master?
With a laugh and a wave of his hand, his enemies disintegrated.
Such a killer, blushing?!
But—Tie Ma suddenly hesitated.
If it was Miss Ye’s doing, then perhaps it’s not impossible?
"Definitely blushing," Bing He announced with certainty, "If you don’t believe me, I’ll ask the Young Master in a bit."
Tie Ma: "..."
If he wants to die, don’t drag me into it.

The Northern Lands is a nation that loves to host banquets, with various ceremonies taking place nearly every day.
The Valenkine Family is no exception, and it just so happened that it was nearing the birthday of Empress Valentina I, with celebrations throughout the city.
When Ye Wanlan arrived at the Valenkine Family estate, it was six o’clock in the evening.
The attendant at the entrance stretched out a hand to stop her, looking down from the steps, "I’m sorry, you cannot enter."
The Valianjing is one of the three great families of the Northern Lands, and it’s not a place where any common citizen can enter.
