Chapter 641: 641 Princess Yongning and Shui Yunqing are still alive [1st update]

The sound of a wheelchair echoed as Su Han Yan was pushed in by two women who appeared to be in their forties or fifties.

Her gaze was stern, sweeping across the room with an inherent authority.

"Mu Feng pays respects to the ancestor!" Su Mufeng was the first to bow with a fist and kneeled on one knee, "Everything in the Su Family depends solely on your command, ancestor!"

Seeing the person in the wheelchair, the Su Family Great Elder’s eyes widened suddenly, almost losing her voice: "You, you..."

She had been in the position of Great Elder for forty years, and now she was ninety-six years old.

Yet she had never seen Su Han Yan before, or even known of Su Han Yan’s existence!

However, there was no need to doubt the identity of the woman in the wheelchair because two seniors stood on either side, both older than her.

These two seniors hadn’t appeared for a long time, but when the Su Family Great Elder was young, she had seen them many times.

Who else could command such service from these two seniors?

Upon seeing Su Han Yan appear, Su Xueqing’s hand trembled, her heart quivering fiercely.

"Today, you have greatly disappointed me." Su Han Yan said coldly, "The Family Head position is just that, and it cost us a rising star of the Su Family. Is this your development philosophy?"

Whether Su Ningxiang lived or died didn’t matter to Su Han Yan. After all, it was Su Mufeng she nurtured who was the true future head of the Su Family.

She just hadn’t appeared for a long time, needing to make an example to establish authority.

No one dared to respond, and the entire hall was dead silent.

"A child with quite a talent." Su Han Yan looked indifferently at Su Xueqing, who was also pressured to the ground, "Ruthless enough in action, yet kind-hearted, able to gauge the situation, but it’s a pity..."

It’s a pity that those with absolute great love in this world are no longer here.

After Shui Yunqing, there is no true Taiyi Divine Doctor left.

This is unfortunate for the Shenzhou Land Continent, but for Su Han Yan, it’s a great fortune.

Seven elders of the Su Family were kneeling, trembling greatly.

The Su Family has been established for three hundred years!

Even if there were indeed some ancestors alive, they were only in their hundreds, and their body functions were failing.

As a figure from the end of the Ning Dynasty, Su Han Yan should only exist in history books, how could she possibly...

The seven elders of the Su Family were in a chaotic state of mind, not knowing what to do.

"Why is your hand trembling?" Su Han Yan frowned at Su Xueqing, "Am I that scary?"

Su Xueqing did not purposely conceal her trembling hand. She took a deep breath and said, "It’s just too shocking, I didn’t expect there to still be you in the Su Family, truly the great fortune of the Su Family."

"I’ve also grown old, reached my limits." Su Han Yan seemed to smile, sighing lightly, "The future still belongs to you young people, after all."

However, Su Han Yan did not know that Su Xueqing’s trembling was indeed from shock, but not because of Su Han Yan’s appearance.

Because all of this was within Ye Wanlan’s expectations.

At the moment, Su Xueqing’s view of Ye Wanlan could be summed up in two words—

Terrifying.

How could there be such a person who described every action of the Su Family ahead of time without missing a single one?

Even the Su Family Elders Council didn’t know that Su Han Yan was still alive!

Merely from some abnormal actions of Su Mufeng, all the facts were inferred.

In this world, perhaps no one is better at strategizing than Ye Wanlan.

"Su Xueqing." Su Han Yan lowered her gaze at Su Xueqing, "I am very pleased with your performance today, but rules are dead, people are alive. Even if it’s a life-and-death battle, you should consider the future of the Su Family and spare Su Ningxiang."

"Ancestor, I must disagree." Su Xueqing said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "She has harbored a mortal intent towards me. If I don’t kill her, it will be me who dies. Should I leave such a hidden threat?"

"Xueqing!" The Su Family Great Elder was shocked to hear this, "You..."

To speak like this in front of Su Han Yan, is she tired of living?!

"Good, you have spirit, I like it." Su Han Yan not only didn’t get angry but laughed, "But I don’t want you to become the Su Family Head, Mu Feng will be the head, do you have any objections?"

A very calm sentence, yet it easily erased all of Su Xueqing’s efforts.

Su Han Yan still didn’t know that this sentence had also been rehearsed with Su Xueqing by Ye Wanlan in advance.

Recalling what Ye Wanlan had said to her, Su Xueqing replied calmly, "Since it’s the ancestor’s decision, as a descendant of the Su Family, Xueqing naturally has no objections."

"You are indeed a good child." Su Han Yan finally smiled, "You have excellent talent. Would you like to study with me for some time?"

Su Mufeng was surprised: "Ancestor?"

But in a moment, he understood that Su Han Yan wanted to carefully teach Su Xueqing, so that Su Xueqing could assist him in the future.

Su Xueqing’s eyes moved slightly, and she smiled as well: "To be recognized by the ancestor is naturally my honor."

"Good." Su Han Yan nodded, "Prepare yourself and come with me, Mu Feng."

Su Mufeng followed respectfully.

When they reached a place where no one was around, Su Han Yan asked: "What do you think?"

"Ancestor, there is certainly something wrong with Su Xueqing." Su Mufeng’s eyes were extremely cold, "She was away for three years, and Ningxiang was the Young Family Head who received the family’s support. How could she know more acupuncture techniques than Ningxiang?"

Even if Su Xueqing returned to the Su Family and became the number one core disciple, and obtained some acupuncture technique diagrams, learning medicine requires time most of all. How could she possibly master more acupuncture techniques than Su Ningxiang in such a short time?

"Hmm, you don’t need to say it, I’ve seen it all." Su Han Yan coughed a few times, "This Su Xueqing has another master."

Upon hearing this, Su Mufeng was shocked as well: "Ancestor, do you mean that our Su Family’s acupuncture techniques have been leaked?!"

Su Han Yan didn’t answer because she didn’t understand either.

Could it be that, besides her, someone of her same generation is still alive?

This is not good news.

She let Su Xueqing study with her to investigate the "master" behind Su Xueqing.

"This Su Xueqing cannot be kept." Su Han Yan squinted her eyes indifferently, "She will ruin my major plans."

Having seen many people, she could naturally see the innate righteousness in Su Xueqing.

People of the righteous path are not purely benevolent but will always sacrifice themselves for justice.

Su Xueqing’s style, in contrast, does not resemble Taiyi Medical Practitioners like Shui Yunqing or Ye Xintang, who have an absolute inclination towards benevolence, but more like...

Princess Yongning.

Having been in the same era as Princess Yongning, Su Han Yan’s understanding of this distinguished person is far better than people nowadays who can only glimpse a fraction of her grace through history books.

Princess Yongning herself wholeheartedly loved and protected her friends, family, and the common folk, but she was never merciful to her enemies, often ruthless.

Having been born with a fetal illness, Princess Yongning frequently visited the Medicine King Valley for treatment, and as a second disciple of that generation, Su Han Yan had seen Princess Yongning many times.

Princess Yongning was physically weak but mentally stronger than anyone.

She had also witnessed Princess Yongning deal with traitors, quick and ruthless, never showing mercy.

Fortunately, Princess Yongning is also dead.

Su Han Yan closed her eyes: "Mu Feng, prepare to succeed as the Su Family Head."

Su Mufeng bowed respectfully: "Yes, ancestor."

Meanwhile, at the Rong Family’s Back Mountain.

Shui Yunqing still sat by the lake, quietly watching the birds and clouds.

"Senior brother, Marshal Huo, Yingyue, and aunt." Ye Wanlan said slowly, "Now that you are all here, I can tell you about my recent deductions."

Seeing her so serious, Xiang Mingyu also slightly straightened his expression: "Ah Lan, go ahead."

"The first ancestor of the Su Family is still alive." Ye Wanlan stated word by word, "It is the second disciple of Taiyi Palace, Su Han Yan."

"!!!"

This statement shocked several people.

Although they had a premonition, it was still hard to believe once the speculation was confirmed.

Xiang Mingyu’s eyes trembled: "How is she still alive?"

"For now, we don’t know." Ye Wanlan chuckled lightly, "But soon, we will."

This chess game has finally reached its climax!
