Chapter 561: 561 Xuantian Jade recognizes its master! Princess Yongning’s Life Chart [1 more update]

The Xuantian Jade, a jade stone recorded in historical books and genuinely existent, was known to the Lin Family, which was not surprising at all.

Moreover, the headquarters of the Heavenly Sound Sect was located in Fengyuan City, naturally making it the closest among the Six Great Sects to the Imperial Court.

Ning Zhaozong had personally requested the previous Sect Leader before Lin Fanyin to take good care of Princess Yongning.

However, the Xuantian Jade had been placed in the Qianyuan Treasury for a long time, and even the Xiang Family had no suitable person who could activate this precious jade.

Jade nurtures man, and man nurtures jade.

It was not only that people needed to wear the right jade, but unique treasures such as the Xuantian Jade also could only have one destined owner.

Originally, Xiang Shaoyu, as the foremost among his generation’s youth, was entrusted with high hopes by the Elders of the Xiang Family and several ancestors; however, regrettably, he also couldn’t resonate with the Xuantian Jade.

When the Lin Family requested this jade for Lin Shiyuan and offered a return gift tempting enough for the Elders of the Xiang Family, they too were tempted.

Dubbed the "Female Zhuge in the capital," Lin Shiyuan, at her young age, had unparalleled inner strength cultivation among the new generation of the Lin Family.

The Lin Family also stated that if Lin Shiyuan could receive recognition from the Xuantian Jade, then in the future, the Lin Family would take precedence over the Xiang Family, becoming an aid to them.

Therefore, the Elders of the Xiang Family prepared to unlock the Qianyuan Treasury, to take out the Xuantian Jade and see if Lin Shiyuan could resonate with it.

And the news that the Xuantian Jade was now in Yan Tingfeng’s hands was known only to Patriarch Xiang and Xiang Shaoyu.

With Ye Wanlan’s hearing, she naturally heard Xiang Shaoyu’s words, her eyebrows twitching, "Xuantian Jade?"

"Mm, Xuantian Jade," Yan Tingfeng’s voice softened momentarily, "Recorded in the histories, it was originally meant by Zhaozong to be gifted to Princess Yongning, but not all wishes come to pass."

Ye Wanlan was stunned by his words.

In fact, at that time, she had been unaware of this matter, merely overhearing from others that Zhaozong had prepared an extremely valuable birthday gift for her eighteenth birthday.

It was just that in her previous life, seventeen had been an insurmountable calamity for her.

And after returning to Shenzhou, she found out through historical texts that Zhaozong had intended to gift her the Xuantian Jade.

"This jade stone has been kept in the Qianyuan Treasury of the Xiang Family, and no one has ever successfully used it," Yan Tingfeng commented offhandedly, "Shaoyu lost a bet to me last time and ended up giving this jade stone to me."

"Given how valuable the Xuantian Jade is, he must have been confident in winning the bet to wager with you," Ye Wanlan’s eyebrows raised, "What exactly was the bet?"

"The final round of a calligraphy contest, betting whether you would continue to write about someone from the Xiang Imperial Family," Yan Tingfeng chuckled, "He bet you would, I bet you wouldn’t. So, Xiao Wan, it was because of you that I won."

He opened his hand and took out the Xuantian Jade, which shone splendidly, a blue-purple shade under the sunlight.

At her first glimpse of the jade stone, Ye Wanlan felt a certain pull.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

Her heart was pounding like a drum, vigorously, with a kind of plunging sensation.

Ye Wanlan uncontrollably raised her hand to the area over her heart.

Strange...

"I was thinking your birthday was approaching, wanting to prepare an extraordinary birthday gift for you," Yan Tingfeng blinked, his smile deepening, "It just so happened that Shaoyu wanted to bet with me, and I successfully acquired this Xuantian Jade."

"Hey? Hey!" Xiang Shaoyu shouted, "Are you even listening to me? Don’t ignore me!"

"I am listening," Yan Tingfeng replied nonchalantly, "I’m just considering, could it be that all seven elders in your Xiang Family’s Elders Council are children? To believe the Lin Family would prioritize your family in the future?"

"Children?" Xiang Shaoyu snorted, "The Great Elder celebrated his one-hundredth birthday just a few years ago. They simply fully trust Lin Shiyuan and favor her."

Ye Wanlan’s heart was beating faster and faster, nearly off the charts, and she finally couldn’t control herself; she extended her hand and touched the Xuantian Jade.

In that instant, the Xuantian Jade came alive as if it turned into flowing water.

Watching this scene, Yan Tingfeng couldn’t hear what Xiang Shaoyu was saying anymore.

Because he then saw the Xuantian Jade seeping into Ye Wanlan’s skin like water, bit by bit.

In no more than three seconds, it had disappeared without a trace.

And after the Xuantian Jade entered her body, the discomfort at Ye Wanlan’s heart vanished instantly.

Neither the watching Yan Tingfeng nor she herself could recover from the shock.

This was...

Last time such an event occurred was when the Imperial Jade Seal suddenly made its appearance.

"I’m not asking you to retrieve the Xuantian Jade for me. I believe Lin Shiyuan definitely won’t let the Xuantian Jade acknowledge a master." Xiang Shaoyu sighed, "So for now, just hand it over to me, let the people from Lin Family leave dejectedly, and then I’ll return it to you, how about that?"

Only then did Yan Tingfeng speak, "It’s gone."

Xiang Shaoyu was baffled, "What do you mean, ’gone’?"

"Exactly as the words imply," Yan Tingfeng said indifferently, "After I gave the jade to Xiao Wan, the jade melted away in her palm. It seems to have integrated into her body, hence I said it’s gone."

Xiang Shaoyu felt this was like a fairy tale, "You don’t have to lie like this, how could a piece of jade integrate into someone’s body? You might as well tell me Miss Ye swallowed the jade!"

"I’m sorry," Ye Wanlan returned to her senses, "Young Master Shaoyu, the jade indeed integrated into my body, and I do not yet know why."

Xiang Shaoyu, "..."

Yan Tingfeng enjoyed teasing him, but Ye Wanlan was definitely not one to fabricate such a lie.

"Could it be..." Xiang Shaoyu was startled, "Miss Ye is the one the Xuantian Jade has chosen?!"

With that said, Ye Wanlan truly had a life chart that could rival Her Royal Highness the Princess!

"I’m really sorry," Ye Wanlan looked at her hand and frowned, "Young Master Shaoyu, for now I cannot remove the Xuantian Jade, I owe you a favor."

"No, it’s a good thing, this is indeed a good thing!" Xiang Shaoyu took a deep breath, his tone becoming serious, "Miss Ye, whatever you decide to do in the future, as long as I can help, I will come at once."

Yan Tingfeng raised an eyebrow, asking, "Don’t want the Xuantian Jade anymore?"

"Don’t want it," Xiang Shaoyu said, "Letting the Xuantian Jade find its master is much better than just placing it in the Qianyuan Treasury. I’ll handle the Lin Family’s issue, you just need to make Miss Ye happy."

After the conversation ended, Yan Tingfeng slowly took a few breaths.

He had only inferred from Elder Rong’s prophecy that Ye Wanlan was most likely to be the master of the Xuantian Jade, but he had never expected it to happen so soon and in such an unexpected way.

"Xiao Wan, do you feel any discomfort?" Yan Tingfeng raised his hand, touching Ye Wanlan’s pulse.

"None whatsoever," Ye Wanlan slightly shook her head, "I feel nothing at all."

The Qingyun Pendant and other various antiques carried by Ye Wanlan had also witnessed this scene.

"Could it be that the Xuantian Jade and the Imperial Jade Seal are actually the same type of jade? That’s why it was absorbed by Her Royal Highness?"

"It seems so, the Imperial Jade Seal determines an Emperor’s identity, so only Her Royal Highness is a suitable match."

"Legends say the Xuantian Jade can alter fate, sigh... what will it be used for?"

Ye Wanlan also contemplated the use of the Xuantian Jade. As she looked up, she saw Yan Tingfeng slightly bowing his head, sitting silently in front of her, his demeanor seemingly draped in a veil of solitude.

She asked, "What’s wrong? Not happy?"

After a moment, Yan Tingfeng quietly responded, "Hmm, I had planned to carve a phoenix as a birthday gift for you, but now..."

"You managing to win the Xuantian Jade for me makes me very happy," Ye Wanlan lifted her hand, gently stroking his silver-white, soft long hair, "Don’t be sad."

Yan Tingfeng sighed, "I still feel sad."

"I kind of feel like he’s feigning pity to deceive Her Royal Highness," the Qingyun Pendant suspiciously remarked, "It’s definitely an act."

The Heart Protecting Bracelet thoughtfully added, "But Her Royal Highness seems to quite like this act."

"You guys..." the Shence Army Tiger Tally timidly spoke up, "Did you guys forget that Her Royal Highness can hear us talking?"

Qingyun Pendant, "..."

Heart Protecting Bracelet, "..."

Ye Wanlan’s demeanor remained calm, "I’ll take the birthday gift in advance. It’s the best present I’ve received this year."

The ringing of a cell phone broke the silence.

Ye Wanlan answered.

"Miss Ye, I have good news for you!" Faluk exclaimed excitedly, "Just now, I tried to integrate the Gold and Silver Secret Iron into the broken spear, and it was a success!"

"Good, I’m on my way."

Suddenly a loud ’bang’ sound came from the other end of the phone, and Faluk’s voice changed, "What’s wrong... who are you?!"
