Chapter 442: 442 Emperor’s Blood! How can it compare to [2 more updates]

"That sentence fell like a thunderbolt, shocking Chief Valenky and Valentino out of their wits."

"What does it mean to be the Sovereign of the Shenzhou Land Continent?"

"Three hundred years after the demise of the Ning Dynasty, the term ’Sovereign’ ceased to exist in the Shenzhou Land Continent."

"Surely Faluk didn’t leave the Northern Lands with a Soul Spirit, did he?"

"Miss You Liduo Si, are you sure you looked carefully?" Chief Valenky frowned, "We in the Northern Lands still have an Empress, but there definitely isn’t a Sovereign in the Shenzhou Land Continent. Could it be that you mistook the current Xiang Family member as the Sovereign?"

"It’s true that the Yun Jing Xiang Family are descendants of the Xiang Imperial Family, but records state that the direct lineage of the Xiang Imperial Family had been wiped out completely in the past."

"Only a few infants and collateral relatives survived the enemy’s slaughter, and these survivors moved the treasures and books from the Qianyuan Treasury to Yunjing with their clan members, establishing the present Xiang Imperial Family."

"However, after the death of Xiang Chen, the last Emperor of the Ning Dynasty, the bloodline of the Emperor ceased to exist."

"So, the current Xiang Family cannot be equated with the Xiang Imperial Family from three hundred years ago."

"Impossible!" Outraged by the doubt, You Liduo Si couldn’t restrain her anger, "If you don’t trust me, why did you even request my presence?"

She picked up the crystal ball and left in a huff.

"Elder? Hey, Elder!" Valentino failed to stop You Liduo Si successfully, he turned around blankly, "Father, can Spirit Communication make such a big mistake?"

"Anything can make a mistake, Spirit Communication could be influenced by various factors causing a minute error to lead to great discrepancies," Chief Valenky scoffed, "Listen to her, saying Faluk left with the Shenzhou Sovereign, every word is unbelievable!"

Valentino nodded, resignedly saying, "Perhaps Elder You Liduo Si trusted her Spiritual Abilities too much, so even when she arrived at such absurd conclusions, she was unwilling to believe there was an error in her Spirit Communication."

"Continue the search," Chief Valenky said coldly, "He doesn’t even think, would he have reached where he is today if the family hadn’t nurtured him from a young age? And yet, he has become a traitor!"

"Rest assured, Father, as long as Faluk dares to show his face, we will definitely capture him," Valentino sneered, "He so wishes to forge a Divine Weapon, he surely can’t hide for a lifetime."

"Mm, I leave this matter to you." Chief Valenky waved his hand and took a few steps outside, then as if remembering something, he said, "The quadrennial meeting of the Global Center is about to convene, there must be no slip-ups this time."

Valentino’s expression grew more serious, "Understood, Father."

On the Yunjing side.

Yan Tingfeng also arrived at the restaurant and met with Ye Wanlan.

He pushed a box in front of Lin Qin, "I haven’t congratulated you on successfully passing the Core Disciples’ examination, this is a congratulatory gift."

"Thank you—" Lin Qin halted midsentence, as she truly did not know how to address Yan Tingfeng.

Sometimes, when she and Lin Wenli talked in private, they referred to Yan Tingfeng as "the bad guy."

For example—The bad guy came to see Sister again;

Or—How can the bad guy call uncle along with us? He must have ulterior motives;

And—Why does it feel like the bad guy is deliberately acting weak in front of Sister?

But, facing the man himself, she couldn’t possibly say that, could she?

"No need to thank me." Yan Tingfeng noticed her discomfort and smiled slightly, "Just accept it."

Lin Qin still whispered her thanks: "Thank you."

She decided she would no longer call Yan Tingfeng "that scoundrel."

This was a betrayal of the friendship revolution she had with Lin Wenli, and Lin Qin still felt a bit guilty.

"Cousin, how long do you plan to stay in Yunjing?" Lin Qin was somewhat reluctant.

"I’ll stay a few more days after settling a major matter." Ye Wanlan patted her head, "Don’t worry, I know many friends here in Yunjing."

"It’s not myself I’m worried about, but you, cousin." Lin Qin was anxious, "Something in my heart always feels uneasy."

"There is no need for you to worry, cousin." Yan Tingfeng spoke up, "I am always by Xiao Wan’s side."

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "I am also very confident in Tingting’s abilities."

Lin Qin was somewhat disheveled by the wind.

What had her cousin just called that scoundrel?

Tingting?!

Lin Qin fell silent for a moment, deciding to temporarily restore the friendship revolution with Lin Wenli.

Scoundrels are indeed still scoundrels.

"Let’s go." Ye Wanlan stood up, pressing down her hat brim, "It’s getting late, I’ll take you back to your main house."

"Cousin, it’s okay, I’m not as weak as I used to be." Lin Qin demurred, "I can go back on my own."

"I know," Ye Wanlan patted her shoulder thoughtfully, and whispered, "from the moment we leave this restaurant door, every move you make will be under the surveillance of the main house."

Lin Qin’s expression sharpened.

"Since they already know you came out to meet me, of course, I should take you back." Ye Wanlan smiled, "The play must be fully acted, the stage well set, for people to perform as we wish."

Ye Wanlan escorted Lin Qin to the Yunjing Lin Family territory, an area entirely controlled by the Lin Family.

It was divided into five zones, where only core disciples could enter the core area, which included the Scripture Pavilion.

Listening to Lin Qin express information about the main house, Ye Wanlan’s eyes slightly narrowed.

"Miss Lin Qin has returned," a voice sounded, it was Steward Lin, "how coincidental, Miss Shiyuan was just asking about you."

Lin Qin frowned, "Asking about me for what?"

"Miss Lin Qin, please come in, Miss Shiyuan is waiting to dine with you," Steward Lin was very courteous to Lin Qin, "Today, Miss Shiyuan even went to the Su Family to get some medicine, which will also help your future cultivation."

Lin Qin glanced at Ye Wanlan, didn’t say a word, clutched her pouch, and silently walked through the Lin Family gate.

"Miss Ye, right? Please stay," Steward Lin spoke again, however, his tone was devoid of any respect.

Ye Wanlan stopped in her tracks, slightly turning, "Is there a matter?"

"This is thirty million," Steward Lin pulled out a check, "Please, Miss Ye, understand your status and cease contact with Miss Lin Qin."

Thirty million, Ye Wanlan would never see such a vast sum of money in her lifetime.

"Thirty million?" Ye Wanlan looked down, giving a faint smile, "Quite a generous gesture."

"Miss Shiyuan will help Miss Lin Qin progress, and her status will be such that you, Miss Ye, even if you exhaust all your efforts, won’t be able to touch," Steward Lin said with a mocking look and a scornful tone, "Also, Miss Shiyuan sincerely cares for Miss Lin Qin, so you don’t need to waste your efforts."

With Lin Shiyuan as a paragon of virtue before her, how could Ye Wanlan ever compare?
