Chapter 488: 488 Qin King Whip, Carefree King [2 more Chapters]
It gave her a sense of familiarity that was seemingly close, yet elusive!
But precisely because this feeling was so fleeting, Hua Yingyue couldn’t grasp it.
She reached out again and waved her hand in front of Yan Tingfeng to verify that he indeed couldn’t see her, then she sat down next to Ye Wanlan without any inhibitions.
"It wasn’t a serious injury to begin with, thanks to your timely arrival," Ye Wanlan said with a slight smile. "Do you remember what I mentioned earlier about that whip..."
"Mhm, I saw it," Yan Tingfeng nodded. "It was the Qin King Whip."
Hua Yingyue huffed slightly, "Of course, it’s my whip."
Ye Wanlan nodded, "Just as I had suspected."
"Rest assured, Xiao Wan, I have already ordered the Qin King Whip to be secured," Yan Tingfeng frowned slightly. "If nothing goes awry, it was the residual power within the Qin King Whip that broke through the formation of East Desolate City."
Heroes like Qin King own weapons imbued with spirit.
Though Qin King has died, her determination might not have dissipated.
The calamity that befell East Desolate City, possibly sensed by Qin King Whip, it could have emerged to protect the city; this theory could make sense.
Ye Wanlan asked, "So, Tingting, have you found out who was behind this?"
"The clues point toward the Southern Ming Principality, there’s about a seventy percent chance it’s related to those evil practitioners who fled there years ago," Yan Tingfeng’s eyes were cold, "Xiao Wan, this is what I wanted to discuss with you. I will be travelling to the Southern Ming Principality soon."
Just a few evil practitioners nearly destroyed East Desolate City; who could assure that they didn’t have any other tricks up their sleeves?
To prevent future problems, one must root out the issue entirely.
Yan Tingfeng admitted to himself he had never been one to solve problems with words when bloodshed could do.
Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed slightly, "We do indeed need to pay a visit to the Southern Ming Principality."
"But we’ll have to wait until you’re fully recovered," Yan Tingfeng turned back and spoke more gently, "The production crew has halted filming for now. Take this time to rest well; I’ll go and prepare some food for you."
With that said, he stood up and his gaze swept across the room.
Hua Yingyue could feel the sharpness in his look, which made her expression turn solemn.
The door closed, and Yan Tingfeng left.
Hua Yingyue lifted her chin, "Have you figured out where this man comes from?"
"I haven’t looked into it," Ye Wanlan contemplated, "All I know is that he grew up in the Rong Family, but even the Rong Family probably doesn’t know much about him."
There was a mystique about Yan Tingfeng, and it was exactly this mystique that kept her interest in him from fading.
"You haven’t checked and yet..." Hua Yingyue frowned and then pondered, "Could it be, that he risked his life for you, just as your brother once saved you?"
Ever since Princess Yongning took charge of the East Palace and became the Crown Princess, she had been living in peril.
The number of people wanting her dead was too great; even He Jia was worried about it.
Therefore, Hua Yingyue knew that for Princess Yongning to trust someone was extremely, extremely hard.
"His Highness Prince Qin is as astute as ever," Ye Wanlan arched an eyebrow. "Yes, he has saved me. I can trust him with my back, and I can believe in him."
"That’s a bit irritating to hear," Hua Yingyue clicked her tongue, "Waking up to find someone new by your side, then what am I?"
But her heart was nonetheless soft and reassured.
The fact that more people were there to protect and support her Ah Lan was a good thing.
Ye Wanlan reached out a hand and gently rubbed Hua Yingyue’s head, "You are my sworn sister with whom I can share life and death."
"That’s more like it," Hua Yingyue nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly asked, "What about... Yan Shunhua?"
Ye Wanlan fell silent.
Seeing her expression, Hua Yingyue’s own face changed slightly.
"I don’t know," after a moment, Ye Wanlan slowly shook her head, "I have not found his antique. I thought it might be the Exquisite Eight Treasures Box, but unfortunately, it’s not."
Hua Yingyue’s features relaxed again, "He was full of tricks, his qinggong was exceptional, and he didn’t command troops; he lived a carefree life. Most likely, he died a natural death."
"Whether he died a natural death, I do not know," Ye Wanlan mused for a moment before saying, "Because according to historical records, the Carefree King indeed perished in that immense battle."
Hua Yingyue was stunned for a moment, "He originally could have..."
Carefree King was a title that originated among the common folk; however, by the time it reached Yan Shunhua, it was acknowledged by Ning Zhaozong.
Yan Shunhua belonged neither to the Imperial Court nor to Jianghu; he was an independent third party outside of both the temple’s and Martial World’s bounds.
Indeed, the title "Carefree" was apt: Yan Shunhua was free and unrestrained.
Neither the laws of the Imperial Court nor the commands of the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch could restrain him.
As he moved among the common people, he was often as elusive as a Divine Dragon that shows its head but not its tail.
Ye Wanlan turned her head and slowly said, "But he is a person of Shenzhou."
"Boom!"
Hua Yingyue’s mind was deeply shaken.
Indeed.
In the battle of ten thousand troops,
"In fact, you already have an idea, asking me and saying this," Ye Wanlan asked quietly, "You really hope in your heart that he didn’t die in this great battle, don’t you?"
Hua Yingyue remained silent.
A few seconds later, she said, "Given his personality, I can’t imagine what it would be like if he died; it’s better that he’s alive."
The mobile phone chimed.
Ye Wanlan looked down to see a message pop up in the chat group.
[World’s Richest]: @Ghostbuster Bro, how is YN sister doing?
Christine was indeed anxious and was waiting for Wen Chaosheng’s reply when a line of text popped up on the screen.
[System Prompt: Ghostbuster Bro invites you to join this group chat, where there are others you know...]
On discovering that Wen Chaosheng had created a group chat without Ye Wanlan, Christine’s brow furrowed.
[World’s Richest]: What are you up to? Don’t make me go to Extreme Path and issue a bounty for you right now.
[Ghostbuster Bro]: I haven’t even spoken yet! Rich Sister, how can you sentence me to death just like that?
[Cultured Person]: Considering your past behavior, I see no problem in giving you a death sentence directly.
[Crazy Scientist]: I agree!
[Ghostbuster Bro]: Let me tell you a secret, YN sister has been seriously injured! When I went to see her, her arm was covered in wounds, a lot of them, and just looking at them hurt!
Kristi took a deep breath.
She knew this would be the case.
[Ghostbuster Bro]: I immediately ran to find my boss and banged on his door, bringing all the medicine he had over to YN sister.
[World’s Richest]: At least you have some sense.
[Ghostbuster Bro]: I’m off to deliver this to YN sister right now, but please don’t mention that I told you she’s not just lightly injured. I’m afraid of getting beat up.
After Wen Chaosheng got the medicine, he finally relaxed.
"So, this young girl survived in the center of East Desolate City?" Jermaine Ross, the deputy director of the Supernatural Affairs Office, found it somewhat unbelievable, "I want to go see for myself."
A force capable of destroying a city with a population of millions, so sinister and excessive.
He had thought that this time, there would be countless casualties in East Desolate City, but to his surprise, not a single person was harmed; only a few skyscrapers had been destroyed.
All of this was far beyond what Xing Yue, the Young Temple Master of Penglai Observatory, could have accomplished alone.
Jermaine believed that behind this, there must be someone even more powerful!
Wen Chaosheng found it hard to decline and hesitated for a moment, "Then, boss, you’ll have to speak less later, okay?"
"How so?" Jermaine glanced over, "Afraid I’ll scare your fellow townsfolk? We are all cultured people, civilized."
Wen Chaosheng secretly rolled his eyes and sneered.
Just wait and see how Jermaine would be frightened to death by YN sister!
