Chapter 552: 552 Abuse the Trash! The Worldview Has Collapsed [2 updates]

Surely enough, the fish didn’t disappoint her expectations and took the bait.

"Who?!" Fu Qiao was so startled that she jumped up, her whole body breaking out in a cold sweat.

But before she could even turn around, she felt a breeze by her ear.

By the time the wind had settled, Ye Wanlan was already clutching the person’s throat.

Her hand rose higher, slowly lifting him into the air.

It was hard to imagine how such a young girl could have such formidable arm strength, aside from muscles, there was only one explanation—

Inner Strength!

"Ye Wanlan?!" Upon recognizing the girl’s face, Fu Qiao almost shrieked in horror, "You, how... what exactly..."

She began to speak incoherently, because the scene before her surpassed Fu Qiao’s understanding.

In Fu Qiao’s view, this admired person possessed exceedingly high abilities.

Not to mention their ability to come and go without a trace, but they also possessed unique medicines.

How could someone so powerful be lifted up by Ye Wanlan?!

At this moment, Fu Qiao’s entire worldview was seriously challenged, her eyes rolled back, and overwhelmed, she fainted.

Ye Wanlan spoke indifferently, "Poor tolerance."

She didn’t look at Fu Qiao again and slightly turned her head.

"I won’t ask whom you serve," holding the person’s neck, Ye Wanlan’s eyes were cold and merciless, "but I know you and many others who entered Shenzhou before are all in cahoots."

Kidnapping Curator Xiang, stealing Shenzhou’s cultural relics, impersonating the Successor of the Sword Saint... When put together, these actions all point to one goal: to sever Shenzhou’s cultural heritage bit by bit.

Culture is the root of a nation and a country; if it breaks, the consequences are unimaginable.

Three hundred years ago, a group of mysterious enemies, perhaps extraterrestrial visitors, wished to conquer Shenzhou with force but ultimately retreated for unknown reasons.

Three hundred years later, another group wished to use such methods to cause the extinction of Shenzhou.

Damn it!

Ye Wanlan’s ice-blue eyes glinted with lethal intent, as chilling as a tangible blade.

Unable to speak, the person’s eyes were wide with terror and disbelief.

At this moment, only four words occupied his mind—

Intelligence was wrong!

According to their information, Ye Wanlan was this year’s humanities top scorer in the college entrance exam, a guest of the "Treasures of The Divine Land" academic group, and the first-prize winner of the physics competition team award.

As of yesterday, their intelligence had been updated—Ye Wanlan was also trained in Fu Style and Cold Style, and she outperformed Fu Qiao to take first place.

However, amongst all this information, not a single piece mentioned her martial arts skills or Inner Strength!

In times of peace, culture flourishes the nation.

In times of chaos, martial arts stabilize the nation.

What about someone proficient in both literature and martial arts?

The person’s pupils constricted violently; he desperately wanted to report this critical information immediately but was tightly controlled by Ye Wanlan, unable to even struggle.

Indeed, Ye Wanlan was on their core list.

Anyone on the core list, if they couldn’t be won over, must be eliminated.

An uncontrollable genius is better off dead.

But Ye Wanlan had Inner Strength and knew Shenzhou Martial Arts, wasn’t that beyond what their core list could handle?

"You, you..." the man struggled to speak but couldn’t utter a complete word, his despair growing.

Since it was Fu Qiao who summoned him last minute, he didn’t bring anything extra; who could have expected to be confronted by a killer like Ye Wanlan?

Not only was he going to lose his life here, but he also failed to send the old Fu to the west and couldn’t report back that Ye Wanlan was skilled in martial arts.

"So fond of using poison," Ye Wanlan glanced at the man’s face, turning purple as she suddenly smiled, "Just as well, I’ve developed a new drug that I’d like you to try."

"Crack!"

She reached out and dislocated his jaw.

After forcefully stuffing a black pill into his mouth, she "crack" snapped his jaw back into place.

The man’s expression was extremely turbulent, his eyes bulging; he kept clawing at his throat, trying to make himself vomit the pill out, but it was in vain.

Devil!

This girl, appearing as elegant as pine and bamboo, was actually a ruthless devil!

The effects of the poison exploded the moment it entered his mouth, sweeping through his body in an instant. His internal organs felt as though they were being stirred with a sharp tool, and the piercing pain made him roll continuously on the ground.

"Ah—!!!"

The man’s mouth was wide open, but his agonized screams were utterly trapped in his throat.

Ye Wanlan’s index finger sealed his Mute Acupoint with lightning speed.

"Xiao Wan," a voice fell, and Yan Tingfeng glanced at the person lying on the ground, "Is he the only one?"

"Yes." Ye Wanlan’s expression was indifferent, "They have gone to great lengths to introduce Fu Qiao to Old Mr. Fu’s attention, all for the sake of mastering Fu Style and taking control of Shenzhou’s calligraphic domain."

From the first time Fengyuan met Fu Qiao, she had felt a sense of dissonance about him.

Indeed, Fu Qiao had come to Old Mr. Fu’s side with a purpose.

If it weren’t for Fu Qiao losing control several times, eventually revealing his true intentions, it would have likely caused significant trouble down the line.

Yan Tingfeng nodded, then glanced at Fu Qiao again, "And her?"

"Old Mr. Fu will be asleep for quite a long time." Ye Wanlan looked down at the unconscious Fu Qiao, "How to deal with her should wait for Elder Fu to decide, and besides, this matter must be made known to the public."

"Master, the cup is still here, and it contains remnants of the medicine." Bing He saluted respectfully, "After testing the drug, we found it’s a new type of poison. We need further tests to determine its effects."

Yan Tingfeng hummed faintly in response, "I understand. Preserve the evidence well."

His gaze grew colder.

Just how far had these people infiltrated?

But Shenzhou, whether its territory or culture, would absolutely not allow the slightest encroachment.

**

At this moment, Su Xubai and his family were having breakfast.

This year, Su Xubai had naturally achieved excellent results in the college entrance exam, and with a top fifty score, he had been admitted to Yunjing University.

Madam Su had only eaten a few bites before she put down her chopsticks and got up, "I’m going to the Ancestral House."

"Going to the Ancestral House?" Mr. Su was a bit puzzled, "Father just brought back resources from the Ancestral House the day before yesterday, what for are you going again?"

Although the Su Family was not as heartless as the Lin Family in expelling family members incapable of learning Taiyi Medical Skills...

For those like them, without the talent for medicine, they held no advantages either in status or power, even though they were direct lineage members.

Mr. Su also very much regretted that his only son, Su Xubai, just like him, could not practice any Taiyi Medical Skills.

Taiyi Medical Skills were, after all, more suitable for females to learn. It was a pity he had no daughters.

Now, all he could hope for was Su Xubai to make a name for himself in the academic world.

Unfortunately, even if Su Xubai could later enter the research institute of Yunjing University, he still wouldn’t be able to compete with the power of the Su Family Ancestral House.

But at least it was a path.

"The old cough has flared up, I’m going to the Medicine Hall to get some cough pills." Madam Su coughed a few times, smiling faintly, "I’ll go alone, I’ll be right back."

Mr. Su didn’t ask any more questions, just sighed.

Madam Su’s cough had plagued her for several years now. Having missed the best time for treatment, she had only been able to rely on medicine to maintain stability over the years.

Of course, any individual from the Elders Council, Sacrificial Hall, or Core Disciples could cure Madam Su’s cough.

But none of them had the obligation, and with Mr. and Madam Su’s status, they couldn’t ask for their help.

Su Xubai didn’t join the conversation. He was eating his vegetables and rice mechanically, his attention and thoughts still on the youth calligraphy finals.

"Continue eating," Madam Su coughed once more, "I’ll be back after I get the medicine."

After saying this, as if afraid Mr. Su and Su Xubai would ask anything more, she hastily left with her bag in hand.

Madam Su’s eyes flickered slightly, and her expression darkened a bit.

Her claim of needing medicine was a ruse, her real intent was to report news.

The Su Family Ancestral House must be unaware of Su Xueqing’s open appearance in Yunjing.

Otherwise, they would have sent someone to deal with Su Xueqing long ago.

Thus, reporting this to Miss Ningxiang would surely bring her a reward.

Thinking this, Madam Su suppressed the gleam in her eyes and respectfully said to the guard at the gate, "I have important news to report to Miss Ningxiang."

"You? You wish to see Miss Ningxiang?" The guard looked Madam Su up and down, "Do you think anyone can see Miss Ningxiang whenever they wish? You’re not even qualified to make an appointment!"

His expression carried a hint of disdain.

He had long been accustomed to seeing those like Madam Su, the descendants unable to learn Taiyi Medical Skills, always trying to cling to the Ancestral House to elevate their own status.

But in the end, none had succeeded.

Madam Su, however, did not leave. Certain of her hand, she added one more thing, "It’s about Su Xueqing."
