Chapter 637: 637 The Real Conspiracy! Mysterious Sister Lan [1 More]
The name Su Han Yan is very unfamiliar to the public, whether it is 300 years ago or 300 years into the future.
years ago, Su Han Yan was the second senior sister of Taiyi Palace, and compared to the palace master Shui Yunqing and the great senior sister Ye Xintang, her presence wasn’t significant.
While at Taiyi Palace, she was always inconspicuous, always presenting herself in a plain manner before everyone.
She wasn’t outstanding, but she wasn’t ordinary either, she was a kind of "mediocrity" that lay between a genius and a common person, so it was hard for her to attract attention.
But often, it is such people who, at unexpected times, do things that astonish everyone.
In the history spanning five thousand years on Shenzhou Land Continent, not every person could be recorded in history books, specifically during the era of Ning Zhaozong 300 years ago, where heroes were many. Who among those recorded wasn’t a dragon among men or a phoenix among women?
Thus, Su Han Yan’s name was not found in the annals of history.
Even the descendants of the Su Family today are unaware of the name Su Han Yan.
But Su Mufeng was different, everything he learned and knew, were all taught by Su Han Yan herself; he was Su Han Yan’s direct descendant.
Even if, Su Han Yan’s current state could hardly be considered living.
Before Su Mufeng sat an extremely aged woman in a wheelchair, withered in her brows and eyes, resembling a tree that had lost all moisture, which could be snapped in half by a strong wind at any moment and perish.
Shui Yunqing turned herself into a Gu person in order to "survive" to this day.
Su Han Yan’s cultivation was weaker than Shui Yunqing’s; she had to exert all her strength just to barely cling to life until now.
And 300 years was already at the limit; she could hardly hold on any longer.
The development of the Su Family was originally as she had hoped, and in a little while, the Su Family would become the genuine Taiyi Palace, and the surname of Shui Yunqing would be completely erased.
But this challenge for the position of Family Head had gone beyond her control.
Especially that Su Mufeng, who she had placed great hopes on, ended up seriously injured.
Su Han Yan showed up to heal Su Mufeng’s injuries.
"Thank you, Ancestor," Su Mufeng felt the hidden injuries in his body slowly recovering, and he immediately kowtowed, "We are fortunate to have the Ancestor here, otherwise..."
"Blood-sucking Heart-shattering Pill," Su Han Yan murmured, "How could someone still be manufacturing this poison?"
The top ten poisons in the Jianghu were not all developed by Taiyi Palace, but by those villains in the Jianghu.
Taiyi Palace was responsible for developing antidotes, and to create antidotes, one naturally needed to have a deeper understanding of poisons.
Even though Su Han Yan was inconspicuous, she was still the second senior sister of Taiyi Palace, with a considerable attainment in Taiyi Medical Skills; she could neutralize the poison of Blood-sucking Heart-shattering Pill.
"The younger generation also doesn’t know," Su Mufeng coughed several times then smiled bitterly, "If I had known, I definitely wouldn’t have been so careless."
"It’s not your fault, your judgment was normal, and there is nothing absolute, accidents always happen," Su Han Yan said indifferently. "Have you found out what exactly Su Xueqing experienced during her three years outside, who she came across?"
"The moment she appeared in Yunjing, the younger generation thoroughly investigated," Su Mufeng respectfully said, "During her time in Jiangcheng, if she really met someone important, it would only be Ye Wanlan who had just returned to the Lin Family."
"Ye Wanlan?" Su Han Yan frowned slightly.
She had never heard of the surname "Ye," whether 300 years ago or 300 years later, Ye was not a common surname.
But the character "Lan," uncontrollably reminded her of someone—
Princess Yongning, Xiang Lan.
She both admired and was jealous of Princess Yongning.
She admired Xiang Lan for being able to hold supreme power in her hands, and was jealous that Xiang Lan received the love of countless people.
And what about herself?
When the people of Jianghu spoke of Taiyi Palace, they would only support the Palace Master Shui Yunqing, and praise the Great Senior Sister Ye Xintang a few times; who would remember her, Su Han Yan?
She was unwilling to accept this, but she did not dare to show it.
The Battle of Ten Thousand Armies was utterly devastating for the Shenzhou Continent, but Su Han Yan was actually quite delighted.
The Palace Master of Taiyi Palace, Shui Yunqing, and the Great Senior Sister Ye Xintang were killed in battle, but she survived, and was able to establish the Su Family.
"However, I have had very little interaction with her and still can’t see through what she really possesses." Su Mufeng added, "I’m afraid we will have to wait until after the Family Head challenge is over."
"Hm." Su Han Yan snapped back to reality and said mildly, "No matter whether this Family Head challenge is lost or won, only you will truly inherit the Su Family."
Su Ningxiang was merely a target picked by her.
Of course, she would have her own descendant continue to control the Su Family.
At this moment, at the Lin Family.
The events of the day had naturally spread throughout the major families early on.
"You did very well." Lin Shiyuan put down her teacup, "If Su Xueqing emerges victorious, then the help you provided to Su Xueqing today will be something she’ll remember for a lifetime, and that is good for the Lin Family too."
Ye Wanlan didn’t even turn her head: "I don’t need you to judge my actions."
Lin Shiyuan’s expression darkened slightly.
"Miss Shiyuan, she is simply outrageous!" After Ye Wanlan left, the Hidden Guard youth could hardly contain his anger, "As a member of the Lin Family, she is always so disrespectful to you, we should have killed her and eliminated future troubles!"
"Having a rebellious spirit is not necessarily a bad thing," Lin Shiyuan was actually unconcerned about this, "It proves that she is unwilling to remain in the shadow of others, but unfortunately, she can only play the pipa."
The Hidden Guard youth swallowed his anger: "I just can’t stand to see Miss Shiyuan aggrieved!"
"Aggrieved?" Lin Shiyuan smiled lightly, "I won’t be upset over such a matter, and those who cannot bear it are not destined to achieve great things."
She also wouldn’t mind helping Ye Wanlan become stronger because, in the end, Ye Wanlan could only be a knife in her hand, helping her complete great undertakings.
**
The Family Head challenge was supposed to be suspended for a long time due to Su Mufeng’s injuries, but on the morning of the fourth day, Su Mufeng stated that he had recovered mobility and could continue to observe the Family Head challenge.
Once he spoke, the Su Family Elder Group naturally agreed as well and relayed the order to Su Xueqing and Su Ningxiang.
Looking at the rosy-cheeked Su Mufeng, Su Xueqing’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Ah Lan, how did he recover so quickly?"
Three days ago, she was indeed deliberately stalling for time and only gave the antidote to Su Mufeng at the last moment.
But in fact, it was Ye Wanlan who instructed her to do so; the worse Su Mufeng’s injuries, the better, as long as he didn’t die.
Initially, Su Xueqing was indeed somewhat worried, after all, Su Mufeng was very mysterious in the Su Family, but also held a prestigious position, what if it caused trouble?
But now it seems, Ye Wanlan was actually using this move to lure out the mysterious forces behind Su Mufeng!
"Hm." Ye Wanlan’s eyes slightly narrowed, "Someone has cleared the residual poison in his body, this person possesses high medical skills and also deep Inner Strength, probably for over a hundred years."
A hundred years!
Su Xueqing’s expression changed.
The lifespan of Inner Energy Practitioners was originally longer than that of ordinary people, but living over a hundred years was still an indicator of extremely high talent.
None of the old ancestors of the Su Family had ever shown themselves, but it was impossible for them to be over a hundred years old!
"He is in a hurry, but we are not." Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "I want to make him even more anxious."
This chess game, since she had started it, could only be continued by her.
"Brother Mufeng, are you really alright?" Su Ningxiang was still very worried, "You should rest some more, my issue is not urgent."
"I’m fine." Su Mufeng raised his head and smiled faintly, "Elders, you may begin."
In this Family Head challenge, he must test out what exactly Ye Wanlan is hiding!
"Good," Su Family Great Elder slowly nodded, "The two rounds concerning knowledge of medicinal theory have concluded. Now, we come to the most crucial segment—Taiyi Acupuncture Technique."
The Su Family was the successor of Taiyi Palace and naturally placed great importance on the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique.
"In the third round, Ningxiang and Xueqing will demonstrate the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique." Su Family Great Elder said, "There are no restrictions; whoever knows more and is more accurate with the Acupuncture Technique will win this round."
Su Ningxiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Great Elder, I’ll go first."
In this round, no matter what, Su Xueqing could not win against her!
