Chapter 461: 461 Jointly abuse the scum! Great satisfaction [1 more update]

Su Yingxia was well aware that the senior management and training system of the Su Family had already decayed.

With her strength alone, she indeed could not reverse it.

Yet she couldn’t stand by and watch the Su Family rot away even further.

"Ah Lan, tell me, what kind of punishment do you think Su Jinran should receive?" Su Yingxia grew angrier the more she thought about it, "If you really were an ordinary person as they labeled you, you would have died long ago!"

"Sister Yingxia, getting angry is bad for your health," Ye Wanlan gently patted her back before speaking lightly, "If possible, let her stay in the Confinement Room for a while."

"The Confinement Room?" Su Yingxia paused, then after contemplating for a moment, she nodded, "Okay!"

Ye Wanlan smiled, "Then I’ll have to trouble Sister Yingxia."

"It’s no trouble." Su Yingxia shook her head, "On the contrary, it’s my fault. You almost met with a great disaster in the Su Family; I’ll go call for an Elders Council meeting."

Ye Wanlan nodded her head and watched Su Yingxia leave.

The ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly sounded, and she answered.

"Ah Lan, I saw on the internet that you accidentally entered the Forbidden Land. I was so scared that I ran right out of the classroom to contact you immediately," Su Xueqing was still frightened, "Thank goodness you’re okay."

Ye Wanlan was very calm, "I just came out."

"What?!" Su Xueqing exclaimed in shock, "You mean, you’ve already come out of the Forbidden Land?"

"Mhm," Ye Wanlan said, "I discovered quite a few secrets, I’ll tell you about them when I get back. We’ll need to make some alterations to our plan."

Su Xueqing realized the seriousness of the situation and paused, "Okay, Ah Lan, I’ll wait for you, but you must prioritize your own safety."

"I know," Ye Wanlan chuckled softly, "Xueqing, wait for me to come back."

The call ended, and she turned her head towards Yan Tingfeng, "Tingting, please take this pair of Plum Blossom Pendants to the Cultural Relics Bureau first. Later, they can be transferred to Curator Xiang and stored in the museum."

"Okay," Yan Tingfeng responded, blinking lightly, "But if the Su Family sees these Plum Blossom Pendants in the museum, they will probably be furious."

"Since they have already strayed from the original intention of the Taiyi Palace, I presume Palace Master Yun Qing wouldn’t want her keepsakes in the hands of these people either," Ye Wanlan said calmly.

Right now, she had another very important task—

To find Shui Yunqing.

Even if Shui Yunqing had become a Gu Person, she must find Shui Yunqing.

What if... there was indeed a way to turn Gu People back into living humans?

As long as there was hope, she would always try.

In her dictionary of life, the word "give up" had never existed.

Even if she had to fight against heaven and earth, she would don her armor, hold her blade and never cease till death.

In the front hall, the other six elders also hurried over.

"Third Elder, why call for an Elders Council meeting so late?" the Great Elder slightly frowned, "Also, why didn’t you announce your return in advance?"

Su Yingxia did not answer this question but instead asked, "Where is Su Jinran?"

"He has been summoned," the Fourth Elder said, "What’s the matter, Third Sister?"

Su Yingxia still didn’t answer, "Let’s wait until Su Jinran arrives."

Five minutes later, Su Jinran and Su Ningxiang arrived together.

Su Ningxiang very perfunctorily nodded towards the seven elders, then seated herself.

"Greetings to the seven elders," After Su Jinran performed his respects, just as he was about to take a seat, he heard a shout.

"Su Jinran, kneel down!"

Su Jinran trembled all over, and he looked at Su Yingxia with disbelief, "...Third Elder?"

"I told you to kneel down!" Su Yingxia shouted again, her aura pressing down like a mountain collapsing into the sea.

"Boom!"

Su Jinran only felt as if tons were pressing down on his body, and his face instantly turned pale.

With a "thump," his legs uncontrollably knelt down, and pain shot up from his knees, causing Su Jinran’s tears to well up in his eyes.

Su Jinran was also a genius among the core disciples of the Su Family, but he was nearly thirty years younger than Su Yingxia. No matter how talented he was, his Inner Strength could not possibly be as profound as Su Yingxia’s.

Especially since Taiyi Medical Practitioners leaned more toward healing, many from the Su Family stopped advancing further once they had enough Inner Strength to execute the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique.

This was also why many Taiyi Medical Practitioners were frail, passing away early due to exhaustion.

But Su Yingxia was different. In her early years, she married Rong Jingqiu and also practiced the heart method of the Great Purity Sect; thus, her Inner Strength was even more robust.

Su Jinran tried to stand up but found it impossible.

"What does Third Elder mean by this?" Su Ningxiang swept her gaze around and asked coldly, "Could it be that I, the foolish younger sister, have offended the Rong Family? To the point of troubling you to personally run back from the Rong Family."

The sentence was extremely clever, immediately escalating the conflict into a dispute between the Su and Rong families.

The expressions of the other elders in the Su Family had already subtly changed.

They had long wished to expel Su Yingxia from the Elders Council, but Su Yingxia’s medical skills and strength were laid out here, and currently, no one could bring her down.

After all, Su Yingxia had married into the Rong Family and was not a complete member of the Su Family anymore; hence, she shouldn’t interfere in internal affairs of the Su Family.

"Ningxiang, you need not plead for your sister and belittle your own status as the Young Family Head," Su Yingxia did not become angry and even chuckled, "Your sister is cruel and ruthless. Merely for participating in a show, she took action against an ordinary person from the same crew, which goes against our Su Family’s ancestral teachings. She must be punished; otherwise, if others imitate her, won’t the Su Family be in chaos?"

After speaking, she asserted indisputably, "Bring Su Jinran down, lock her in the Confinement Room!"

Su Ningxiang’s face darkened.

"At this time, we need to investigate carefully," the Great Elder coughed and spoke indifferently, "Whether or not the little girl has entered the Forbidden Land, we cannot be certain. Moreover, this has nothing to do with Jinran. We must not harm the innocent."

"Nothing to do with her?" Su Yingxia glanced down at Su Jinran, still kneeling on the ground, "If not for you deliberately guiding the innocent near the Forbidden Land, could such an incident have happened? Go to the Confinement Room and reflect well!"

The Great Elder spoke with a heavy voice, "Third, you—"

"Big sister!" Su Yingxia interrupted her, "An ordinary person has had an accident at the Su Family compound. How do you think outsiders will view the Su Family? This punishment must be carried out, or it will lead to great disaster."

The Great Elder’s brows furrowed fiercely, and she fell silent, which amounted to tacit consent.

Soon, two guards came forward, took control of Su Jinran, and led her away from the front hall.

Su Ningxiang’s expression was extremely grim.

She had thought through countless scenarios, but had not expected Su Yingxia to suddenly intervene.

Was she deliberately opposing her?!

"Sister!" Su Jinran clutched at Su Ningxiang in panic, her expression somewhat collapsing, "Sister, save me!"

Su Ningxiang remained composed, squatting down to methodically pry open her sister’s fingers one by one, "Jinran, rest assured, you’re just going in there temporarily. Su Yingxia does not yet have the authority to decide your life or death. I assure you, you will come out alive."

This statement, however, made Su Jinran even more distraught, "No, I don’t want to go to the Confinement Room..."

The meaning of the words "coming out alive" differed greatly at different times.

Su Jinran knew all too well how terrifying the Su Family’s Confinement Room was.

Su Xueqing had once been sent there.

Su Xueqing was locked up for a day and a night, and when she came out, she was no longer human-like, her body covered in nothing but wounds and fresh blood.

She had witnessed this scene with her own eyes and it had left a profound shadow in her mind.

"Jinran, trust your sister; I will protect you," Su Ningxiang covertly slipped a pill into Su Jinran’s hand, "At most three hours, and I will have you released."

Su Jinran turned deathly pale, "Sister, you must rescue me quickly."

Su Ningxiang’s voice deepened, "Don’t worry."

""

"Sister Lan, all the internet trolls stirring up trouble as well as the netizens who insulted us have had their IPs blocked," Fang Qingli said, "There really are people who deliberately incited this public opinion storm, aiming to force Treasures of The Divine Land’s production team to dismiss you."

But what the Su Family completely did not know was that the production team of Treasures of The Divine Land managed to secure global broadcasting rights all thanks to Ye Wanlan’s connections.

It was no exaggeration to say that without Ye Wanlan, Treasures of The Divine Land wouldn’t even think about premiering both domestically and internationally.

"Uh-huh, it’s as I expected," Ye Wanlan spoke casually, "On this point, the Su Family is somewhat more advanced than the other families; they even know how to utilize the internet."

"A century-old noble family, yet descendants of Taiyi Palace stoop to such despicable deeds!" Fang Qingli’s expression was one of disgust, "Sister Lan, what do you plan to do? Let me handle it."

"The best way to deal with an enemy is to use their tactics against them," Ye Wanlan responded indifferently, "Whatever they do, we do the same."

Fang Qingli nodded, "Understood, I’ll start preparing right away."

Ye Wanlan’s expression was impassive.

Manipulating public opinion, is it?

Fine, she would play along.

At this very moment, as Su Ningxiang followed the other elders preparing to enter the Forbidden Land, a close aide hurried over, "Miss Ningxiang, there’s been trouble!"

Su Ningxiang was already frustrated and asked coldly, "What happened?"

The aide wiped his sweat and handed over his phone, the news headlines had changed.

[Since it’s a Forbidden Land, doesn’t the Su Family have guards? How can someone just waltz in?]

[I heard there are fierce beasts in the Forbidden Land; I suspect the Su Family is maliciously murdering people!]

[It is terrifying to think about. Did Ye Wanlan touch on some interest of the Su Family?]

[The Su Family must come forward immediately. Why do you harm the life of an ordinary citizen?]
