Chapter 575: 575 Huo Jingyu enters the Huo Family, Sister Lan’s grand gesture [1 more]
"What?" The Great Elder peered curiously.
At that glance, his eyes became fixedly riveted.
A spear with gold and silver hues lay neatly within the rectangular box.
The spearhead gleamed brightly, its cold light flickering.
This Divine Weapon, having appeared silently before their eyes, already carried with it an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Through the Shen Wei Spear, one could remotely reminisce the glorious era when under the command of Marshal Huo Jingyue, the Divine Strategy Army was at its pinnacle.
The pupils of the Grand Elder of the Huo Family violently constricted as he abruptly raised his head, "Miss Ye, this is..."
He certainly did not believe that Ye Wanlan had brought out a fake spear to deceive him.
Setting aside the oppressive feeling that the spear gave off, the unique patterns on the Shen Wei Spear could not possibly be replicated one-for-one, even by the most powerful blacksmiths of the Valenkine Family.
But wasn’t the Shen Wei Spear already broken?
How could it appear so intact before him?
"By some stroke of luck, I found a method to repair the Shen Wei Spear," Ye Wanlan spoke casually, "After trying it, it was successful."
Her words were light, but the Grand Elder of the Huo Family knew that repairing the Shen Wei Spear was by no means an easy feat.
"Dealing with someone as clever as the Great Elder is indeed not tiring," Ye Wanlan raised her eyebrows with a slight smile, "I only ask the Great Elder for one thing, the Divine Might Heart Method."
The Grand Elder of the Huo Family’s expression shook, his gaze sharpening slightly, "Miss Ye, where did you hear about the Divine Might Heart Method?"
The Divine Might Heart Method had never appeared in the history of Jianghu, a secret only known by the Huo Family Elders Group, even Huo Yunyi was unaware.
How did Ye Wanlan know of it?
"After repairing the Shen Wei Spear, I dreamt of Marshal Huo," Ye Wanlan said calmly, "He told me that he created this Heart Method and that it was meant for my use."
The Grand Elder of the Huo Family was taken aback once more, greatly surprised, "Did our ancestor really enter Miss Ye’s dream?!"
Otherwise, there was indeed no explanation for how Ye Wanlan came to know of the Divine Might Heart Method’s existence.
Marshal Huo Jingyu, who had been listening by the side, pondered, "If Her Royal Highness says so, she’s not wrong."
"When Ah Lan lies, she always does so with sincerity," Hua Yingyue commented, "If I didn’t know the truth, I too would be unable to distinguish its veracity."
"Since the ancestor himself spoke, then the Divine Might Heart Method must, of course, be given to Miss Yeh," the Grand Elder of the Huo Family slowly nodded, "Miss Ye, please wait a moment; I will return shortly."
Ye Wanlan nodded her head.
The Grand Elder of the Huo Family carefully placed the Shen Wei Spear in a secret chamber before he went to retrieve the Divine Might Heart Method.
He handed over the Divine Might Heart Method to Ye Wanlan and said, "If Miss Ye needs anything else in the future, please feel free to come to the Huo Family."
"The Great Elder is too kind," Ye Wanlan smiled, "I’ll take my leave now so as not to disturb the Great Elder with his affairs. There’s no need to see me out; I’m already familiar with the way here."
The Grand Elder of the Huo Family nodded, "Good!"
No sooner had Ye Wanlan left than the news about the dispensation of the Divine Might Heart Method reached the ears of the other elders.
"Big brother, the Divine Might Heart Method was created by the ancestor; how can it be handed over to others so easily?" The Third Elder of the Huo Family said angrily, "The Shen Wei Spear was originally ours; why should we give away the Divine Might Heart Method?!"
"A trade for a trade, besides, wasn’t it the ancestor who informed her in her dream?" the Grand Elder of the Huo Family stroked his beard, "If we don’t give it, it would mean defying the ancestor’s will."
"In her dream? That’s pure nonsense!" The Third Elder of the Huo Family scoffed, "I find that girl to be overly ambitious; she wants the Divine Might Heart Method now, what will she demand next? Does she plan to have our entire Huo Family bend the knee to her one day?"
The Grand Elder of the Huo Family sharply reprimanded, "Third brother, watch your words!"
Their argument was not quiet, and Huo Yunling had just entered the main hall when he heard it.
"What happened?" Huo Yunling frowned slightly, "Why is there such a commotion at the entrance of the Huo Family?"
Although Huo Yunling had gone to Cold Hidden Temple for spiritual cultivation, he had not formally renounced secular life and became a monk; he would return to the Huo Family every month to stay for three days.
Steward Huo was also a bit puzzled, "I do not know, sir, but from the sound of it, it seems that there’s a dispute among the Elders."
Huo Yunling understood.
The affairs of the Elders Group were not for him to manage.
He crossed the front hall, intending to return to his own courtyard.
But as he looked up, he saw a girl in a black cheongsam walking away in the distance.
"Who is that?" Huo Yunling’s brows furrowed once again.
Steward Huo followed his gaze and felt a sense of familiarity, but couldn’t recall the identity, and in the end, could only shake his head, "Second young master, I do not recognize her."
"A cheongsam? Have they pursued me all the way home?" Huo Yunling’s expression turned colder, "Who allowed her into the Huo Family?"
He indeed had a fondness for cheongsams, and thus, many women would don cheongsams to come to Cold Hidden Temple seeking him out.
It was a pity; most were women who clung to power and lusted after fame, only thinking of climbing into the circle of the Five Great Families.
Such a woman was utterly defiling such a noble item as the qipao.
He had long ago commanded the monks at Cold Hidden Temple to forbid these women from entering.
However, given that Cold Hidden Temple was a public place, it was impossible to truly block anyone out.
This irritated Huo Yunling greatly.
It was hard enough to return to the Huo Family once, and yet he had encountered the very group he despised.
Huo Yunling said indifferently, "Have you not expelled her yet?"
"Yes, Second Young Master," Steward Huo replied respectfully, striding forward and scolding lowly, "Don’t you know the Second Young Master hates it most when women in qipao strut before his eyes? Leave at once!"
Ye Wanlan’s steps didn’t falter, nor did she even glance at Huo Yunling, "Second Young Master? Oh, Buddha’s Son of the Capital Circle."
Huo Yunling’s eyes grew colder, "Who allowed you to call me that?"
"Sorry, I don’t remember your name," Ye Wanlan said nonchalantly, "If you dislike the nickname Buddha’s Son of the Capital Circle, then I can also call you Bald Monk of the Capital Circle."
Steward Huo looked up incredulously, his lips trembling.
Did this girl in the qipao understand what she was saying?
"Think that will get my attention?" Huo Yunling frowned deeply, sneering, "Have you been reading too many novels?"
Finally, Ye Wanlan stopped, turned her head to look at him, and smiled slightly, "I don’t quite understand Buddhist Law, but if you’d like to try boxing, I’m more than willing to oblige."
No fight, then step aside.
It was a simple matter.
Ye Wanlan withdrew her gaze and left the Huo residence.
Only then did Steward Huo look up, tentatively asking, "Second Young Master?"
Huo Yunling was clearly holding back his anger as he said coldly, "Find out about her; I want to know where she comes from."
Steward Huo replied, "Yes, Second Young Master."
**
Silence filled the air for a long while before Hua Yingyue asked somewhat incredulously, "Was that really the Second Young Master of the Huo Family just now? Is there something... with his brain?"
Xie Linyuan confirmed confidently, "Yes."
Huo Jingyu furrowed his brows with an expression that spoke volumes.
If all of the Huo Family’s descendants were like this...
The sound of a "ding" indicated a message on a mobile phone.
Ye Wanlan looked down.
[Xiang Shaoyu]: Miss Ye, have you received the gift that Yun Yi and I sent you?
[Ye Wanlan]: Yes, I have, and I like it very much. I met Yun Yi’s younger brother today.
[Huo Yunyi]: Oh, today indeed is his day to return to the Huo Family, but he’s been in Cold Hidden Temple so long that his thoughts differ from those of normal people.
[Xiang Shaoyu]: Miss Ye is mentioning him, could it be that he did something to catch Miss Ye’s attention?
[Ye Wanlan]: No big deal, he just doesn’t like the title Buddha’s Son of the Capital Circle and prefers Bald Monk of the Capital Circle more.
[Rong Yu]: ???
Ye Wanlan turned off her phone and looked at the message sent by Su Xueqing before going to Zhu Yu’s Medicine Garden to find her.
"Miss Ye!" Zhu Yu waved happily upon seeing her, "Long time no see, Miss Ye has become even more beautiful."
Su Xueqing kicked him, "Behave!"
Zhu Yu appeared a bit wronged, "I’m just telling the truth. I should also thank Miss Ye for helping Xueqing return to the Su Family."
"There is no need for thanks; it was my duty," Ye Wanlan glanced at the assortment of large and small boxes on the ground, "Dealing with medicinal herbs?"
"Yes," Su Xueqing sighed, "But we still lack many herbs, and if we can’t procure them within the specified time, I fear..."
"Medicinal herbs?" Ye Wanlan tapped her chin, "We are not lacking in those."
"Not lacking?"
Su Xueqing and Zhu Yu both lifted their heads, looking slightly puzzled.
Shenzhou was originally a great nation of medicinal materials, and the two most top-notch medical skills – Taiyi Medical Skills and Taoist Medical Skill – both originated from Shenzhou.
However, due to the great war three hundred years ago, many medicinal herbs no longer suited the climate for growth.
Ye Wanlan said lightly, "Hmm, we have as much as you need."
