Chapter 599: 599 Ye Wanlan: Let’s go together! [1 more update]

"What are you talking about?" The girl’s anger rose, yet she was somewhat perplexed, "I told you to hurry over, can you really not hear me?"

"I said—" Ye Wanlan pinched her wrist, "Just come at me, we don’t have much time."

The girl suddenly realized, incredulously saying, "You really want to fight with me?"

She dared not provoke Lin Qin, but couldn’t she handle Ye Wanlan?

Ye Wanlan’s eyes and brows were indifferent.

"Fine, since you are the one who foolishly initiated this, I’ll indulge you." The girl sneered, retrieving a long flute from behind her back, "I don’t even need a zither to deal with you."

Descendants of the direct lineage naturally all play the zither, but when they go out, they often carry more portable instruments like flutes and sheng.

Ye Wanlan nodded, seemingly smiling, "Indeed, there’s no need for the zither."

She remained still, not making any move.

The girl frowned, "Where is your instrument? Can you actually be brought back by Sister Shiyuan and yet not know how to play an instrument?"

Ye Wanlan still did not react.

"How arrogant!" the girl shouted, "Then take this!"

However, she had just placed the long flute to her lips, and the first note had not even fully sounded.

Ye Wanlan moved.

She raised her leg in a very rough and simple manner, without any fancy moves.

"Bang!"

The girl didn’t even see Ye Wanlan’s face clearly before her body was sent flying.

This scene shocked all the followers of the girl, who hastily rushed forward.

"Miss Lingqing!"

"Lingqing, are you alright?!"

Lin Lingqing only felt pain spreading from her left chest, soon engulfing her whole body.

Her vision also began to black out, but she did not forget her important task, "You, you guys, get her, get her..."

The followers’ eyes all fell on Ye Wanlan, filled with surprise, coldness, and disbelief.

"Sure," Ye Wanlan said casually, "Come at me, all of you."

These three words greatly enraged all the members of the Lin Family who had come to this courtyard today.

Too arrogant!

That was their sole impression of Ye Wanlan.

The followers also took out their own instruments, banding together, surely they could take down Ye Wanlan?

Two fists can’t defend against four hands, let alone six people.

But Ye Wanlan clearly was not going to comply with their wishes, waiting for them to start playing their instruments.

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang!"

Elbow strike!

Shoulder throw!

Spinning kick!

In just a moment, all six of Lin Lingqing’s followers were down on the ground, their instruments scattered all around.

Each of them curled up, continuously groaning in pain.

Lin Lingqing was dumbfounded.

She had come tonight to test Ye Wanlan’s skills, to see if her cousin Lin Qin was worthy of joining her ranks.

How had it turned into this?

Ye Wanlan sat back down in her chair, pulled out a tissue, and leisurely wiped the dust from her fingers, "That’s all."

"You... you!" Lin Lingqing’s fingers trembled, "You’re too bullying! That’s cheating!"

Being of the Lin Family, how could she resort to such crude physical combat?

"They should be competing with sound wave attacks!"

"What is this?"

"This is clearly taking shortcuts, afraid to confront the enemy head-on!"

After Ye Wanlan wiped her hands, she threw the paper towel into the trash can and stood up, "The night is deep, you all may leave now."

That kick had squarely hit the girl’s chest, and at this moment, she was still in so much pain that she involuntarily curled up.

Although angry at these words, she was helpless and could only leave Ye Wanlan’s yard with the support of others.

Normally, those of common descent wouldn’t have the luxury of having their own yard, but Lin Shiyuan had Steward Lin arrange for Ye Wanlan to stay in a scenic area.

Ye Wanlan wasn’t hard to guess what Lin Shiyuan had in mind, but she believed in combating whatever came her way.

Knowing the enemy and oneself ensures no peril in a hundred battles.

Lin Qin had entered the Lin Family six months before her, providing her with quite a bit of information.

Lin Shiyuan seemed to be preparing something significant, yet it wasn’t related to the Five Great Families of Yunjing or Shenzhou.

Ye Wanlan didn’t care about Lin Shiyuan’s objectives, but if they were going to harm Shenzhou...

Then, it would be her concern.

The stars and moon hung high, deep into the night.

At this moment, in Lin Shiyuan’s yard.

As a Hidden Guard, the young man appeared silently, "Miss Shiyuan, as you predicted, Miss Lingqing has already troubled Ye Wanlan."

"Oh?" Lin Shiyuan slowly sipped her tea, "What was the outcome?"

"The outcome..." The young man found it somewhat unbelievable, "Before Miss could employ the Heavenly Music Method, she was already taken down by Ye Wanlan using hand-to-hand combat."

The Heavenly Music Method was essentially a long-range attack, hence the constitution of a Musician of Heavenly Sound was much weaker than that of a Divine Strategy Military operative.

Because of certain properties of the Heavenly Music Method, once a Musician of Heavenly Sound got into close combat, there was an eighty percent chance of defeat.

"Interesting." Lin Shiyuan set down her cup. "Truly worthy of being Lin Weilan’s granddaughter, she seems very aware of our weaknesses. It seems Lin Weilan specifically trained her in combat."

Lin Shiyuan had always known that practicing Heavenly Music Method led to physical weakness, and if this wasn’t addressed, frailty would be her weakness.

Thus, since childhood, while she played the Zither, she also trained in another martial art to compensate for this deficiency.

However, the Cultivation Techniques of the Six Great Sects were overwhelmingly dominant, and not everyone could practice another martial art on top of that.

Therefore, other descendants of the Lin Family weren’t so fortunate.

Ye Wanlan had grasped this point precisely, effortlessly defeating Lin Lingqing with the most basic of fighting techniques.

The young man’s eyes filled with fierce determination, "Miss Shiyuan, perhaps we should just eliminate Ye Wanlan now, to prevent her from interfering with your grand plans in the future..."

"No," Lin Shiyuan interjected, "Do not lay a hand on her."

Surprised by this command, the young man sharply raised his head. "Miss Shiyuan?"

"Not only must you not harm her, but whatever she wants, try to accommodate," Lin Shiyuan said with a light smile. "Because I want her to work for me."

The young man was quite puzzled, "Her?"

What kind of person was Lin Shiyuan to need Ye Wanlan?

"Having her assist me will increase my chances of success," Lin Shiyuan didn’t elaborate further. "But you don’t need to help her with familial conflicts. If she can’t resolve such minor matters, it would prove her incompetence and unworthiness to serve me."

"Understood," the young man bowed his fist, "As Miss Shiyuan commands."

This night was destined to be restless.

Lin Zhushuang initially didn’t want Lin Shiyuan to bring Ye Wanlan back, but had to admit that her influence in the Lin Family was now less significant than Lin Shiyuan’s.

Now that Ye Wanlan was back, right under her watch, she had to deal with Ye Wanlan thoroughly.

Early next morning, Lin Zhushuang had someone invite Ye Wanlan to the ancestral hall.

Besides her, the Lin Family Elder Council, Lin Shiyuan, and Lin Qin were also present.

The Lin Family Elder Council wasn’t pleased with Ye Wanlan, as she hadn’t exhibited the kind of talent that Lin Qin had.

Ye Wanlan and Lin Qin exchanged glances, both understanding the situation.

Lin Zhushuang slowly began, "Ye Wanlan, do you know why you were called here today?"

Ye Wanlan nonchalantly replied, "I don’t know."

"Now that you have returned to the Lin Family, it’s time to change that surname of yours," Lin Zhushuang coldly stared at Ye Wanlan, "What kind of surname is ’Ye’? What uncivilized origins!"
