Chapter 464: 464 Meeting, whereabouts of Shui Yunqing【2 updates】

"...???"

The director suddenly turned his head, his face a picture of shock as he stared at Ye Wanlan, doubting he had heard correctly.

What...?

He remembered mentioning Taiyi Palace, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?!

"To be exact, my friend knows how," Ye Wanlan said with a light smile. "She is from the Su Family, extremely talented. Having been influenced by her closely, I have also gained some understanding of the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique, enough to use for the filming of the program."

"Thump," the director uncontrollably took several steps back and collapsed onto a chair, his voice hoarse.

’Treasures of The Divine Land’ had been filming for over two months. Although not very long, the content was rich and tightly arranged, having taken the guests to many places and through a multitude of experiences.

The director had thought that after working with Ye Wanlan for so long, his heart had been trained to handle anything.

He should have been able to accept this calmly and claim he had anticipated as much.

Yet he found that he was still incapable of accepting it.

Originally, ’Treasures of The Divine Land’ had planned to film only at various museums and archaeological centers, but Ye Wanlan’s arrival had taken this program to a new level.

Ye Wanlan sighed and said, "Water."

Bing He promptly brought water and some pills, quickly administering them to the director.

The medicine worked very fast. Within a few seconds, the director had energetically jumped up.

Tears streaming down his face, he said, "Miss Ye, you are truly our savior; how could I live without you!"

Producer Liu muttered, "So embarrassing."

"Then we’ll continue to shoot as per the plan," the director said solemnly. "After we finish with Taiyi Palace, we’ll head to the Eastern Wilderness to film King Qin."

King Qin was also one of the most important figures in the history of the Ning Dynasty, as a Royal Noble among the Four Directions Nobility.

Ye Wanlan nodded and smiled slightly, "The ruins of Taiyi Palace are in the south, we can start by heading to Jiangcheng to meet with my friend."

"Let’s do just that!" the director agreed enthusiastically. "We’ll follow Miss Ye’s arrangements."

Ye Wanlan’s eyelashes lowered.

Ever since confirming that Shui Yunqing had indeed not died, but had become one of the Gu People, Ye Wanlan had been pondering the places Shui Yunqing might go.

Indeed, the Gu People have no memories, nor do they know who they are, but one’s physical instincts still drive them to familiar and safe places.

Thus, one of the places Shui Yunqing longed for and missed was the Taiyi Palace ruins—Medicine King Valley.

Years ago, an enemy’s great fire had turned Medicine King Valley into desolate hills and wild ridges, from henceforth making it difficult for any good medicine to grow.

The Taiyi Palace ruins were also just an outer part of Medicine King Valley, located deep in the mountains where archaeological teams were still exploring, not yet completely open to the public.

Perhaps, after that great battle had ended, Shui Yunqing had returned to Medicine King Valley.

Although not entirely certain, as long as there was a glimmer of possibility, Ye Wanlan would surely make the journey.

How could a hero’s child spend their life otherwise?

Shui Yunqing had exchanged their life to keep the Taiyi Palace tradition alive, yet was exploited by petty individuals...

Ye Wanlan slowly opened her eyes.

It was time for the rightful owner to return to their place.

The program team acted very swiftly, and before the Su Family could react, they had already chartered a plane and departed from Yunjing.

At that moment, beside the Qu Shui in Lin Family.

"Such bad luck, truly bad luck!" Su Ningxiang said grimly. "If it hadn’t been for Su Yingxia suddenly coming back, Ye Wanlan would definitely be dead!"

Lin Shiyuan neither agreed nor disagreed, "Do you think it’s a coincidence that Su Yingxia came back?"

"What else?" Su Ningxiang said with a sinister look. "Ever since she married into the Rong Family, she comes back at most two to three times a year, and it’s always for the elder’s collective meetings. She had supported Su Xueqing all along and has always disliked me, and this time, she came back specifically to thwart me."

Lin Shiyuan merely smiled lightly, "Indeed, that’s not an unlikely possibility."

She did not intend to tell Su Ningxiang—

According to her conjecture, Su Yingxia must have a relationship with Ye Wanlan, which was why she had made the special trip back.

And she was confident that her conjecture was true.

"I really can’t reconcile myself to it!" Su Ningxiang fumed, "Jinran is considered useless now, and I have to promote the descendants of the direct lineage again, which will take a long time."

"Miss Ye’s matter, Ningxiang, you need not interfere anymore," Lin Shiyuan looked up, "Our Lin Family will naturally take care of our own house."

"That’s good." Su Ningxiang exhaled, speaking ominously, "You people of the Lin Family know how to hit her where it hurts, death would be too kind for her, she deserves to suffer worse than death!"

Lin Shiyuan hummed in acknowledgment, "The next time she enters Yunjing."

Initially, she assumed that Wanlan had concealed her true strength and possessed the Primordial Lost Sound Zither, therefore, she had been observing Wanlan, not taking any action.

However, through interactions and multiple tests with Lin Qin, she had come to the conclusion that Wanlan might not possess the Primordial Lost Sound Zither after all.

She really was overly cautious, spooked by every rustling leaf.

With this, she felt no need to keep Wanlan on her mind anymore.

The only unsatisfying aspect for her was that Lin Qin truly respected Wanlan.

That was why she wanted Wanlan out of the picture.

Since Lin Qin had already returned to the Lin Family Main House, there should be no divided loyalties.

"I heard that Wanlan’s cousin is extremely talented and deserves your attention," Su Ningxiang said meaningfully with a smile, "Just make sure she doesn’t stab you in the back."

"Don’t worry," Lin Shiyuan lowered her head and placed a piece on the game board, "I have it under control."

Three hours later, the plane landed in Jiangcheng.

"Hello, uncle, yes, I just got off the plane," Wanlan received a call from Lin Huaijin, "Sure, I’ll definitely come home for dinner tonight and bring a couple of friends. I won’t stay anywhere else."

"Xiao Yan, right? I’ve already prepared his utensils," Lin Huaijin chuckled, "Who else is coming?"

"It’s my high school deskmate," Wanlan said, "I’ll be home soon, uncle, please don’t worry."

After ending the call, Wanlan first went with the production team to check into the hotel, awaiting Su Xueqing’s arrival.

Today being Saturday, Su Xueqing had no classes; she quickly made her way from her studio apartment.

"Miss Su, hello, hello, I’m the director of ’Treasures of The Divine Land,’" the director greeted her enthusiastically upon her arrival, "Miss Ye mentioned that you are her friend and that she learned some basics of the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique from you, I am delighted to meet you."

Su Xueqing: "???"

Her hand froze mid-air, her expression complex, a face hard to describe in words: "You say, from whom did I learn the basics?!"

Wanlan learned from her?

This was utterly topsy-turvy, wasn’t it?!

"Ah?" the director repeated, slightly baffled, "Miss Ye."

Su Xueqing looked at Wanlan forlornly; Wanlan gave her an eyebrow raise.

Su Xueqing: "..."

Fine.

She would take the blame for this.

"I’ve already learned from Ah Lan what the production team aims to shoot," Su Xueqing nodded, "Director, whatever you need, I’ll fully cooperate."

"Miss Su, you’re too polite," the director couldn’t help but praise, "Upon meeting Miss Su, I felt you’re very approachable and refreshing, unlike those two from the Su Family who give off a rather sinister feel."

He was more than willing to work with Su Xueqing!

Su Xueqing stepped forward, grabbed Wanlan’s hand, and said anxiously, "Ah Lan, you don’t know how worried I’ve been these past few days. I was really scared that Su Ningxiang would harm you."

"You worried too much," Wanlan reciprocated the grip on her hand, "I wasn’t hurt this time, and even managed to get some money and medicinal herbs from the Su Family, which I’ve brought for you."

"That I can’t accept," Su Xueqing shook her head, "They were meant for you."

"Take it," Wanlan handed her a bank card and a rosewood box, "The Su Family owes you much more."

Su Xueqing’s hand stiffened: "I’ll get it all back, I surely will."

If it were only her own injury, she could endure.

But the Su Family’s current deeds were trifling with the lives of ordinary people.

"Xueqing," Wanlan suddenly asked, "have you ever thought, maybe the Palace Master of Taiyi Palace, Shui Yunqing, isn’t dead?"

Su Xueqing jerked her head up, "What did you say?!"
