Chapter 624: 624 Aunt, let’s go home [2 updates]

"..."

At this moment, Princess Yongning’s usually sharp mind also froze, unable to think clearly.

Ye Wanlan did not know why she would see her aunt here—

Prince Regent, Princess Jingan, Xiang Mingyu.

Ever since the Sword Saint’s Sword merged, King Qin’s Whip returned, and the Divine Might Spear repaired... Sword Saint Xie Linyuan, King Qin Hua Yingyue, and Marshal of Divine Strategy Army Huo Jingyu also returned to Shenzhou.

Ye Wanlan then confirmed one thing—

A complete weapon that carries her blood, coupled with the life-threatening moment she was in, could very possibly recall heroes who died three hundred years ago.

But they were neither alive nor in a soul state.

Invisible and untouchable to others.

Thus, Ye Wanlan was so eager to find Prince Yan’s Sword to recall He Jia.

But now, when Princess Jingan Xiang Mingyu appeared before her in the same manner, Ye Wanlan was confused.

She subconsciously stepped forward, extending her hand: "Aunt, how come you..."

Her hand passed through the red-clad woman, touching only air.

"You... you call me... aunt?" Xiang Mingyu was equally puzzled, "I... do I know you?"

Hearing this, Ye Wanlan’s heart sank.

She couldn’t possibly mistake Xiang Mingyu, with whom she had spent days and nights with. Therefore, there was only one possibility.

Xiang Mingyu had lost her memories related to her.

"Ah Lan?" Su Xueqing, unable to see Xiang Mingyu and seeing Ye Wanlan seemingly speaking to the air, asked without understanding, "What happened? Could there be something..."

She still didn’t utter the word "ghost."

Since setting foot on this island, Su Xueqing had felt a chilly aura lingering around her.

Like the Taiyi Medical Practitioner and the Musician of Heavenly Sound, she had a constitution inclined towards yin and thus was more sensitive to supernatural events.

"Xueqing, go back to the boat first," Ye Wanlan regained her senses, "Don’t worry, I’ll come out soon too."

"Okay," Su Xueqing still appeared somewhat anxious, "I’ll wait for you on the boat."

She stepped back gradually, retracing the path they came by.

"Aunt," Ye Wanlan called out again, "Don’t you remember anything?"

"Aunt?" Xiang Mingyu murmured, "Who are you? Who am I? Why do you call me this way?"

She hugged her head, looking very pained.

She didn’t know how long she had been here, but she had been trapped here unable to leave.

Occasionally, a few people appeared, but these people couldn’t see her, nor could she communicate with them, which left her all the more disoriented.

Could this exceptionally young and beautiful girl really see her?

And even called her aunt?

Were they... related?

Ye Wanlan’s eyes subtly shifted, she squatted down, her hand pressing on the ground, the next second, her pupils suddenly narrowed: "Binding Spirit Array!"

Binding Spirit Array can bind a spiritual body, and is also a commonly used formation by Psychics—

During the process of spirit communication, to prevent the spiritual body from suddenly escaping, causing the spirit communication to fail.

Now it seems, obviously, this Binding Spirit Array has bound Xiang Mingyu.

Then, could it also prove that Xiang Mingyu’s state is somewhat similar to a soul?

Thus, she now had a way to resurrect them.

"Gugu, I will help you remove this Binding Spirit Array." Ye Wanlan bit her fingertip and let the blood drip onto the ground, "Do you remember anything? Please tell me."

"I..." A blank look crossed Xiang Mingyu’s face, "It seems I remember... that I have died?"

Correct.

She had indeed died, and her death was extremely tragic.

Dismembered by five horses; a torment beyond desire for life.

After death, she still had consciousness. She saw someone embalm her body and bury it.

Xiang Mingyu covered her ears, "I remember now! My body is in...in Jing...Jing’an Palace!"

"Jing’an Palace..." Ye Wanlan spoke softly, "Okay, Aunt, I got it. The Binding Spirit Array is removed. I’ll take you home, you’ll be fine."

She speculated that probably because the body of Princess Jingan was not intact, this led to the loss in her memories.

Since it is in Jing’an Palace...

Thinking this, Ye Wanlan immediately dialed Professor Xue’s phone number: "Professor Xue, I need a favor from you."

Professor Xue, hearing Ye Wanlan speak to him in such a serious tone for the first time, also became very solemn, "Wanlan, you say, as long as I can, I will definitely do it."

Ye Wanlan spoke deliberately clearly, "I would like you to organize an archaeological team to re-excavate the foundation of Jing’an Palace in the ruins of Xiang’s Imperial Palace."

"What?!" Professor Xue was shocked. "Re-excavate the ruins of Xiang’s Imperial Palace? That’s not a decision I can make!"

Although only the ruins of Xiang’s Imperial Palace are left today, and no palace has been fully restored yet, it is still one of the most valued protected scenic spots in Shenzhou, without a doubt.

If one wants to massively adjust the excavation of Xiang’s Imperial Palace Ruins, even the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau Archaeological Center cannot directly make such a decision; approval from all related parties is necessary.

Professor Xue calmed himself, "Wanlan, why would you suddenly make such a request?"

He had known Ye Wanlan for about a year now and knew that she had a calmness which was completely out of sync with her age.

Even the elders who were helpless and flustered about certain matters would see Ye Wanlan maintaining her composure and giving steady commands.

Such a mature and steady girl wouldn’t possibly make such a request on a whim.

"I want to ensure Princess Jingan’s remains are properly buried with dignity." Ye Wanlan paused, her voice softer, "She was dismembered by five horses before her death, unable to rest in peace, it’s not right to let her remain unwhole even in death."

Professor Xue was even more surprised, "Wanlan, do you mean that Princess Jingan’s body is currently buried beneath Jing’an Palace? But the archaeological team looked before and didn’t find anything."

Historical records noted, Princess Jingan went to battle in armor against the enemy but ultimately was dismembered by invaders.

However, so far, they have not found the actual location of Princess Jingan’s tomb.

"That is the deduction." Ye Wanlan nodded, "That is why I need your help."

Professor Xue frowned, deep in thought. After a moment, he said, "This matter is significant and can’t be resolved shortly, but I will discuss it with the director immediately, just wait."

The call ended.

Professor Xue immediately sought the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

At that time, in the director’s office.

The Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau was hosting two elders, who were distinguished figures that had retired from the Cultural Relics Bureau and held very high status in the field of archaeology.

After respectfully greeting the two elders, Professor Xue spoke to the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau about Princess Jingan.

"Oh?" The Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau was also surprised, "Beneath Jing’an Palace? But we...well, since Miss Ye said so, there must be a reason behind it, let’s organize an archaeological team carefully dig under Jing’an..."

"Clang!"

Before he could finish speaking, the sound of a cup slamming on the table interrupted the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

The Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau startled, "Elder Mo, you..."

"Ye Wanlan, always Ye Wanlan!" Elder Mo slammed his notebook onto the face of the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau, sneered, "Whatever she says you do? She says there is Princess Jingan’s body below, so there is? Did she time travel back three hundred years to see it with her own eyes?"
