Chapter 450: 450 Bare Your Heart! [2 Updates]

"Princess Yongning?" Huo Yunyi was somewhat surprised, "Why do you say that?"

"Didn’t Brother Yan ask who could have been in contact with the martial arts of the Six Great Sects at the same period?" Xiang Shaoyu counted on his fingers, "Look, the history books record that Princess Yongning and the Sect Leader of Heavenly Sound Sect were intimate friends, and the Heavenly Sound Sect even gifted her the Primordial Lost Sound Zither."

"That makes sense," Huo Yunyi nodded, "Also, the King of Yan had trained in the Shence Military Camp for several years, and as Princess Yongning’s brother, she surely would’ve been exposed to the Divine Strategy Spear Technique."

"There’s more than that," Xiang Shaoyu said as he tapped his fan handle against his palm in a leisurely manner, "Master Shui Yunqing of Taiyi Palace has repeatedly treated Princess Yongning, so she could have also come into contact with the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique."

Huo Yunyi nodded slightly.

"Furthermore, the Sect Leader of Great Purity Sect, Rong Shi, was also a close friend of Princess Yongning." Xiang Shaoyu said, with a smile lining his brows and eyes, "The Great Master of the Daning, Han Yunsheng, was already endowed with Taoist arts and had exchanges with both Penglai and Beiming sects, and Princess Yongning was the only disciple of Imperial Tutor Han Yunsheng."

Huo Yunyi issued a slight hiss, "Worthy of being Princess Yongning."

Jianghu and the imperial court were inherently incompatible, often coming into conflict over various issues.

Even among the Six Great Sects, unity was not absolute, and disputes were common.

Besides the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, no one could command the Six Great Sects.

Yet Princess Yongning somehow had ties to all Six Great Sects, which was nothing short of admirable.

"Alas, it’s just a pity, my ancestor was proficient in so many areas and possessed the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart, but regrettably, she couldn’t amass inner strength," Xiang Shaoyu sighed deeply, "If my ancestor could have practiced martial arts, who knows what great spectacle she might have achieved."

Huo Yunyi was silent.

No one is perfect, and nothing is flawless.

Even Princess Yongning couldn’t be proficient in everything.

After a moment of silence, Huo Yunyi asked, "What exactly is the background of this Brother Yan?"

He couldn’t see through Yan Tingfeng at all, nor could he feel any waves of inner strength within him.

Yet he had also never seen a man as terrifying and yet elegant as Yan Tingfeng, which instilled a measure of wariness and fear in Huo Yunyi’s heart.

The only relief was that such a person wasn’t an enemy.

"I’m not clear either," shrugged Xiang Shaoyu, "probably only those two brothers of the Rong Family would know."

Huo Yunyi pondered for a few seconds, "Then I’ll ask Rong Qi later on."

"In a couple of days, Rong Qi will continue filming ’Treasures of the Divine Land’ with Miss Ye, so he probably won’t have the time," Xiang Shaoyu said, "Why don’t you ask Rong Yu."

Huo Yunyi’s expression became difficult to articulate, he hadn’t yet spoken when suddenly another voice rang out.

"Big brother!" Huo Yungui was still full of excitement, "Big brother, is the beautiful sister still with you? I’ve come to find the beautiful sister."

Huo Yunyi expressionlessly ordered, "Go back to training."

"Big brother," proclaimed Huo Yungui with hands on his hips, "you are an absolute martial arts fanatic, and definitely no girl would like you!" "But I am different. From a young age, flowers would bloom at my sight, and people were fond of me; I was the dream lover of all the girls in school."

Huo Yunyi, still without mercy, directly picked up Huo Yungui and threw him out the door again.

Xiang Shaoyu remarked, "You’re indeed a bit brute when it comes to treating your brothers and sisters."

Only then did Huo Yunyi turn back, "How about I send him to the Rong Family to stay with Rong Yu for a while, what do you think?"

Xiang Shaoyu: "..."

What a strategy of fighting poison with poison, indeed not a bad idea.

**

Meanwhile, after paging through several books, Yan Tingfeng had also ultimately confirmed that aside from himself, only Princess Yongning could have simultaneously been exposed to the top martial arts of the Six Great Sects.

Yan Tingfeng’s hands trembled, and an incredible thought surfaced in his heart, could it be...

But... how could that be possible?

Princess Yongning had died of illness, also unable to gather inner strength, and even less capable of cultivating the spirit, entirely different from his situation.

He was able to live until now because he nurtured the only Death Parasite, and his body had been frozen for three hundred years.

But Princess Yongning had truly died, and even if she had reincarnated, in the end, she would remember nothing.

At this moment, Yan Tingfeng once again regretted why he waited three hundred years ago, waiting for a good opportunity to meet Princess Yongning.

But what he waited for was only eternal parting.

Had he met Princess Yongning three hundred years ago, he might have been able to verify many things.

Yan Tingfeng closed the book and silently went to South Street to buy a box of pastries before returning to the hotel to meet up with Ye Wanlan.

"What’s wrong?" Ye Wanlan saw him staring at her and raised an eyebrow, "Want to ask me why I know the Divine Strategy Spear Technique, Taiyi Acupuncture Technique, and Heavenly Music Method?"

Yan Tingfeng was slightly startled and couldn’t help but laugh, "Xiao Wan really can guess anything. I thought I didn’t write it on my face."

"Actually, there’s nothing I need to hide from you." Ye Wanlan pondered for a moment and slowly said, "During those four years when the Transcendent Woman took over my body, I was indeed trapped inside, unable to move or hear."

Yan Tingfeng quietly listened.

He had heard Ye Wanlan mention this once, but to hear her speak of it again in such a light-hearted tone still made his heart tremble uncontrollably.

It was real, this heartache.

To have one’s body taken over, to watch helplessly as one’s life is destroyed.

Ye Wanlan continued, "On the day she chose to leave and I could finally have my body back, I repeated that day for nine hundred and ninety-nine years."

Yan Tingfeng suddenly looked up, even his normally restrained emotions couldn’t hide his shock, "Repeated for nine hundred and ninety-nine years?!"

"Yes, exactly nine hundred and ninety-nine years," said Ye Wanlan with an ease in her tone, "Just one more day, and it would have been a full thousand years. Fortunately, even the heavens couldn’t bear to watch any longer and finally allowed me to escape from that nightmarish time loop."

So, the person who had wanted her life had called her a "Time Escapee."

"Although I was looping through the same day, my actions weren’t restricted," Ye Wanlan said with a slight smile, "I could go to different places and do different things in that one day. Nine hundred and ninety-nine years, it let me learn a lot."

Yan Tingfeng murmured, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine years..."

He hadn’t expected her to endure nine hundred and ninety-nine years locked in time after already suffering four years of body possession.

Under such circumstances, the fact that Ye Wanlan hadn’t gone insane was beyond comparison to anyone else.

"The past is behind us, don’t worry about me." Ye Wanlan reached out, gently ruffled his soft white hair that fell over his shoulder, "With those extra nine hundred and ninety-nine years, I have mastered quite a few skills."

Yan Tingfeng gazed at her, and after a few seconds, he reached out and gently hugged her, "You really have suffered, Xiao Wan."

She knew so much, but she had endured more than anyone else.

"In two days, filming for ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ will continue," Ye Wanlan picked up a piece of pastry and said thoughtfully, "Producer Liu said that new guests would be joining; I wonder who they will be."

Yan Tingfeng hummed in agreement, "I’ll still be with you."

After serving as an assistant for a few months, he had become quite adept at it.

**

Two days later.

’Treasures of The Divine Land’ production team.

Xing Yue was already sitting on a small stool with a chicken leg in hand, eating heartily.

"Slow down," Rong Qi pressed his brow, "Your hands are greasy, wipe them off."

There was a hurried footsteps, and after a few seconds, a middle-aged man arrived with a young girl.

Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

It was none other than because the girl bore a slight resemblance to Su Xueqing.

A member of the Su Family?

"This is Miss Su Jinran of the Su Family, she’s joining us for the latter part of the filming," as expected, the middle-aged man introduced, "Miss Jinran is the younger sister of Miss Su Ningxiang, and Miss Ningxiang hopes everyone will take good care of Miss Jinran."

Su Ningxiang, one of the top five heirs in the Capital Circle.

Even if the director had never met her, he had heard of this name.

"Hello, everyone." Su Jinran set down her medical kit and said indifferently, "I am here on the orders of the Family Head to join the ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ team, aiming to promote the culture of Shenzhou."

"Welcome, we are very happy to have you," the director said excitedly, "Miss Jinran joining our team is like adding radiance to our flowers!"

He had been a director for many years, when had he been able to bring together so many big names?

The Taiyi Acupuncture Technique is also a traditional cultural element of Martial Arts in Shenzhou; if more people could see it, that would be wonderful.

"Mm," Su Jinran showed little expression, "I have no particular demands, except that when filming the episode about the Taiyi Medical Practitioner, everything must follow my direction. If anyone disobeys me, then there’s no need to continue filming."

After all, apart from the Su Family, the production team wouldn’t be able to find a second guest who knew the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique.
