Chapter 532: Did Princess Yongning really die in the year 532? [Group Opening Notification]

Under this Weibo post, Ye Wanlan’s scores were displayed.

The huge numbers "1" and "750" blinded countless netizens.

They had never expected such explosive news to emerge from their vigil.

[Damn?]

[Witnessing history! Someone actually scored full marks in history, isn’t this a living fossil?]

[From the tone of this Weibo post from Yunjing University, it’s clear that youngsters have started managing the official account.]

[A full-score top scholar in liberal arts! I can just imagine how proud the professors at Yunjing University must be.]

[Other universities: You’re so lofty, you’re amazing! You stole the full-score top scholar and still mock us.]

[Fake, right? I’ve never seen such outrageous perfect scores in the college entrance examination.]

[Yunjing University faking this kind of thing? What foolishness are you talking about?]

[I know, I know! I’m a student at Yunjing No.1 Middle School, the news of a full-score top scholar from Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School has already spread in our school by noon today, it can’t be wrong!]

Still, some comments were unbearable to look at, either mocking or jealous.

But this Weibo post from Yunjing University was already the perfect slap in the face.

Those who had previously clamored for "Treasures of The Divine Land" to release Ye Wanlan’s scores had quickly deleted their accounts and fled, but their comments had been screenshot and were repeatedly posted online to be criticized.

[@Treasures of The Divine Land Official V: Congratulations Miss Ye on achieving perfect scores! The show team has prepared a mysterious gift for Miss Ye!]

Following this, Shen Yeqiu, Xu Qingyu, Nie Shuangyi, and other actors who were good friends with Ye Wanlan also shared Yunjing University’s post to congratulate.

Such explosive news, even if the Yunjing Lin Family did not pay attention to the internet, they couldn’t possibly remain unaware.

Not to mention, the Lin Family had people specifically tasked with gathering and filtering useful information from the internet.

This news was delivered by Steward Lin at the first instance.

"Miss Shiyuan, that Ye Wanlan... has achieved this year’s top scholar in liberal arts from Shenzhou," Steward Lin’s expression was very solemn, "and it was with full marks."

"Snap!"

The strings of the zither suddenly stopped vibrating, all sound converging to one point, shaking Steward Lin uncontrollably as he stepped back, his expression also somewhat shocked.

Miss Shiyuan’s inner strength had become so magnificent?!

With this, wouldn’t she be able to surpass Lin Zhushuang in time?

"What a liberal arts top scholar with full marks," Lin Shiyuan said lightly, "I underestimated her, she truly has strength."

She knew better than anyone what full marks truly meant.

For one to achieve full marks, it indicated that the test had utterly failed to gauge their true ability.

Ye Wanlan scored 750 because the test paper only allowed a full score.

Those who scored 749 did so because their abilities stopped at 749.

The difference between the two scores was more than just substantial.

"And, her essay was selected by the National Studies Professor at Yunjing University to be included in a book he compiled," Steward Lin coughed a few times and spoke quietly, "This year’s essay topic related to ’communication,’ no one expected someone could write a letter to the King of Yan in the persona of Princess Yongning... and in classical Chinese too."

Hearing this, Lin Shiyuan’s expression became stern, her normally unflappable eyes finally showing a ripple.

Classical Chinese was not difficult for her; the ancient texts passed down by the Heavenly Sound Sect were all written in it.

Without understanding classical Chinese, one simply couldn’t comprehend these texts.

Writing in the persona of Princess Yongning was not merely a simple matter of using classical Chinese terminology; it required maintaining the historical figure’s persona as well.

Although Lin Shiyuan respected Princess Yongning, she could never understand her actions from start to finish.

If she had been in that position, she definitely would not have died of illness because of overexertion like Princess Yongning.

Emperor Cheng was far more important than those useless commoners, so why bother handling things personally?

Ultimately, Princess Yongning was indeed foolish, voluntarily giving the throne to Emperor Yongshun.

"Miss Shiyuan, should we assign more people to keep an eye on her?" Steward Lin asked cautiously, "Her behavior this past year has differed drastically from the previous four years."

"Mm," Lin Shiyuan’s eyes grew dark, "Assign more people to see whether she knows martial arts."

If Ye Wanlan knew no martial arts and wasn’t a gatherer of Inner Strength, she wasn’t worth fearing.

Steward Lin respectfully replied, "Yes, Miss Shiyuan."

By the end of June, the sun was extremely scorching, the daylight fierce and blinding.

Lin Shiyuan raised a hand to block the sunlight and muttered, "This Yunjing, is about to descend into chaos."

Behind her, a young man heard her words and his expression drastically changed, "Miss Shiyuan?!"

"I have a premonition that what comes next in Yunjing will not be calm," Lin Shiyuan said indifferently, "Go and invite Miss Ningxiang here, I have something to ask her."

"Yes!" The young man answered, tapped his toe, and swiftly disappeared.

**

In the evening, at a private restaurant in the city center.

"Brother, sister-in-law," Lin Woyu entered with Lin Qin, smiling, "Today really is a day worth celebrating."

"Yes, congratulations Qinqin, on also scoring 738 points," Lin Huaijin handed Lin Qin a large red envelope, "You and your cousin both being at Yunjing University can look out for each other."

Lin Qin took the red envelope, but her expression was somewhat dim.

Just before, the Lin Family had learned of her desire to attend Yunjing University, and Lin Nanzhu, one of the Three Offerings, had specifically come to warn her for an hour.

The implied message was that as a member of the Lin Family, attending Yunjing University was pointless.

"Qinqin, don’t worry," Ye Wanlan noticed Lin Qin’s concern with a glance and lazily laughed, "You’ll be able to enter Yunjing University smoothly, I guarantee it."

"Cousin?" Lin Qin was startled, then nodded vigorously, "Mm, I believe Cousin."

"What riddles are you sisters trying to solve?" Lin Huaijin teased, "By the way, why didn’t Xiao Yan come today?"

"He had something urgent to attend to," Ye Wanlan nodded, "He said he would invite you for a meal tomorrow."

"Ah, he’s too polite," Lin Huaijin waved his hand, "Let him tend to his business, and we’ll have another meal another day."

Ye Wanlan responded with a slight smile.

Meanwhile, in Yunjing, at the Rong Family, in the back mountain.

Since the last time Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng had brought Shui Yunqing here, the formation on the back mountain had been reinforced, accessible only to a few people.

Yan Tingfeng’s sudden arrival surprised the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family.

"Palace Master, what brings you here today?" the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family hastily rose, "Water Palace Master’s condition has been stable recently, but... only just stable."

During this time, he and Elder Rong had scoured various books and visited several places but had not found a way to turn Gu People back into humans.

Yan Tingfeng hummed, "Where are Water Palace Master and Miss Su now?"

"In the woods," the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family said, "There are some natural herbs here, and Miss Su can learn a lot following Water Palace Master. May I know what concerns you, Palace Master?"

"No need to panic, just some questions," Yan Tingfeng replied with a slight smile, lifting his hand to help the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family up.

The Supreme Elder of the Rong Family was still somewhat nervous, "Please ask, Palace Master."

Yan Tingfeng remained silent for a long while before slowly asking, "Did Princess Yongning truly die back then?"

"Clang!"

The incense burner in the hands of the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family fell to the ground, almost turning pale with fright, "Palace Master, why would you ask such a thing?!"
