Chapter 502: 502 College Entrance Examination, top-tier exam accompaniment team! [2 updates]

"Support! High school students should prioritize their studies, and the Shenzhou High School joint exam is the number one task."

"I guess she’s been blinded by the glitz and greed of the entertainment industry; after all, shooting one movie can make you more money than most people will earn in their lifetime."

"I really want to see whether Ye Wanlan will go to college or simply announce she’s entering the industry to make money."

"I was fortunate enough to see Miss Ye in person at an offline event, and I must say, if she really joins the entertainment world, both female and male stars better start trembling."

"I knew she was going to join the industry. Otherwise, why keep the hype going?"

Many of these comments were influenced by the Lin Family’s handiwork.

Driven by the Lin Family, it wasn’t long before a new entry appeared on the trending searches—

#Ye Wanlan, College Entrance Exam#

With the operation of paid commenters, it caused many netizens to pay attention to what results Ye Wanlan would achieve in this year’s college entrance exam.

However, Ye Wanlan herself never paid attention to the online comments about her. If there were comments with insults or other forms of indecency, the public relations department of Shengshi Entertainment would handle it, banning the IP addresses of those accounts immediately.

As the college entrance exam day drew nearer, Ye Wanlan and Lin Wenli were both quite indifferent, but Lin Huaijin and Khor Peiqing were the first to become restless, constantly busy with preparations.

"Dad, Mom, there’s no need to be so nervous," Lin Wenli complained, rubbing his temples. "It’s no different from any other exam. I’ll just scribble something down."

"Nonsense, how can you ’just scribble something down’?" Lin Huaijin glared at him. "The college entrance exam is different. When I went to take the exam, I encountered many issues. Some people even forgot their admission tickets! And you—"

"Knock, knock, knock."

The door was knocked on at that moment, cutting off Lin Huaijin’s words.

Lin Wenli breathed a sigh of relief and immediately went back upstairs to his study.

"That little brat..." Lin Huaijin rolled up his sleeves and went to open the door. "Oh, Xiao Yan, you’re back from your business trip? Just in time. I put an extra pair of chopsticks out today, so you can have dinner too, Ah Lan!"

"I heard you." Ye Wanlan came in from the back door. "I have very good hearing."

"You guys chat; I’ll head to the kitchen," Lin Huaijin said, smiling. "Eat up; you need to grow."

Ye Wanlan sighed and stepped forward. "Why are you back so soon?"

"Although the college entrance exam won’t be challenging for Xiao Wan, it’s still one of the most important days of your life. I wouldn’t miss it," Yan Tingfeng said with a playful wink. "So, I came back."

He had also brought a bouquet of flowers with him.

Ye Wanlan took the purple irises from his hands. "Thank you, they’re my favorite."

"Irises symbolize ’eloquence’ and ’strength,’" Yan Tingfeng explained. "Yet their shape also resembles the graceful dance of butterflies, captivating to behold."

"Mm-hmm." Ye Wanlan looked nonchalant. "I’ve always hoped that after I die, my grave will be surrounded by these flowers. It must be a beautiful sight."

Yan Tingfeng was taken aback for a moment before he cracked a smile.

She had always loved beauty and always carried herself with elegance, but this didn’t prevent her from having extraordinarily strong abilities.

Ye Wanlan placed the purple irises in a vase, trimming them with scissors as she asked, "Have you found out what’s happening in the Southern Ming Principality?"

"We have some leads." Yan Tingfeng raised his hand and gently pressed his brow. "According to Xing Yue, it was indeed evil Taoist arts, and we’ve confirmed it’s the doing of a descendant of that Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch from Shenzhou’s past."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She had heard of the deeds of that Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, as He Jia had told her.

The Hierarch had gone mad with power, slaughtering three hundred and eighty-seven people in three days, shocking the entire Jianghu and alarming the Imperial Court of the time.

However, the Imperial Court at that time was already in decline, its innards rotten.

The officials were more interested in pleasure than governance, let alone taking notice of the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch.

Even a joint effort by the Six Great Sects failed to execute him, only managing to prevent him from further massacres within Shenzhou’s borders.

Although the Hierarch did not die, his meridians had been severed, and the Saintess of Mount Penglai of that time cast a restriction on him, forbidding him from using any Taoist arts for eternity.

Later, merchants who had been to the Southern Ming Principality returned with news that they had seen people who closely resembled the Hierarch.

They also said that he had taken disciples and passed on the evil Taoist arts he practiced to them.

Subsequently, a group of Jianghu people went to the Southern Ming Principality to execute the Hierarch, but in the end, they never found his whereabouts and presumed that, with such severe injuries, he would not have survived long.

After the Tower Master took over the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, the Southern Ming Principality remained quiet, including in the three centuries that followed.

"I’ve ordered the agents of Unit 723 to continue investigating and confirm the location," Yan Tingfeng said with a hint of coldness in his voice. "Their division has probably been laying out their plans since that Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch fled."

However, no matter what, it is never acceptable to use the lives of ordinary people as sacrifice.

He could not tolerate actions that treated human lives as worthless.

"Okay," Ye Wanlan’s eyes also showed a hint of fierceness,"once they’re found, I’ll go with you. This kind of hidden danger must be eliminated first."

The most pressing issue weighing on her mind now was the second Battle of the Ten Thousand Armies.

This was information Han Yunsheng had bought with his life; she had to take it very seriously.

After dinner, Lin Huaijin also invited Yan Tingfeng to stay.

At midnight, he received a phone call.

It was Xiang Shaoyu.

"Brother Yan, have you returned to Shenzhou yet?"

"Yes, I’m in Jiangcheng," Yan Tingfeng walked to the window, his voice light, "What’s so urgent this late at night?"

"Isn’t Miss Ye taking the college entrance exam in a few days? I plan to dress up for the occasion and send her off," Xiang Shaoyu said, "Something festive might bring good luck."

"Dress up?" Yan Tingfeng raised an eyebrow at this, "You planning to wear a cheongsam?"

"I’m talking about menswear!" Xiang Shaoyu emphasized, "The new national-style clothing released by Pulling the Sky fits my taste perfectly, and it happens to be deliverable to the Xiang Family on June 6th."

Yan Tingfeng nodded, "Bringing profits to Xiao Wan’s company and giving her moral support too, that’s not bad."

"I’m telling you in advance, to prevent you from clashing with me then," Xiang Shaoyu said, "Also, thanks to Miss Ye, I can let you choose any three items from my treasure vault to take."

Yan Tingfeng chuckled, "I appreciate the sentiment, but give it to Xiao Wan instead. I have no desire to possess antiques."

"Okay then, I’ll give them to Miss Ye," Xiang Shaoyu said, "That’s all, you should get some sleep too. Oh, no, I forgot you don’t sleep at all. But I need to rest."

The call ended.

Yan Tingfeng still stood quietly by the window, looking at the moon hidden deep within the clouds.

After months of constant travel, Ye Wanlan also took the rare opportunity to rest properly during this time.

[Crazy Scientist]: Sister YN, what have you been up to lately? Why aren’t you popping up anymore?

[YN]: On vacation, preparing for the college exam.

A short reply brought silence to the entire chat group.

[Shen Zhou University Gate Security]: I should keep an eye on this group more often, or I’ll fall behind on your topics.

[Crazy Scientist]: Sister YN, I thought you were joking before, you’re really taking the joint exam for Shenzhou’s high schools?!

[YN]: Is there a problem?

[Shen Zhou University Gate Security]: What Mr. Ye means is, with your capabilities, Sister YN, you’d be more than qualified to set exam questions.

[YN]: Setting questions requires thinking, but answering them doesn’t.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: Does this sound like something a human would say?

Ye Wanlan put down her phone and marked a check on the calendar, stretching lazily while preparing for tomorrow’s exam.

The next day, early in the morning.

Rong Yu arrived at the Lin Family Old House’s gate early in the morning with Rong Qi.

But to his bafflement, there was already someone standing at the door.

"How did you get here so early?" Rong Yu complained, but then he realized something, "Wait, why are you here?"

"If you can come, why can’t I?" Xiang Shaoyu looked him up and down.

"Are we the same? I am Student Ye’s psychological counselor," Rong Yu replied with pride, "When I got to know Miss Ye, you were still cursing Tingfeng for making off with your Gold-threaded Profound Iron Armor Fragment."

Xiang Shaoyu: "..."

"Excuse me." A voice behind the three of them spoke up, "So you all are here. It’s my first time visiting, and I got lost looking for the place."

Rong Yu turned around, his jaw almost hitting the ground in shock, "I get why Mr. Xiang would come, but why are you also joining the excitement?"
