Chapter 645: 645 You are Xiang Lan! [Chapter 1]

Upon hearing these words, Su Han Yan’s body trembled even more violently.

Indeed, it was because Shui Yunqing was continuously pulling out the gold and silver needles embedded in her bones, causing excruciating pain.

But at this moment, what she felt even more was fear and disbelief.

Three hundred years, if it weren’t for the one hundred and eight gold and silver needles stabilizing her life force, she would have long merged with the Shenzhou Land, just a pile of bones.

Su Han Yan always believed that she was a winner, the only one who had witnessed the Shenzhou Land Continent’s revival from the brink of death to its current glory.

Yet at the last moment of her life, reality gave her a truly painful blow.

Not only was Shui Yunqing still around, but even...

"You, you are..." Su Han Yan stared intently at Ye Wanlan, her teeth trembling fiercely, "You are Xiang, Lan!"

The last two words were shouted with such force that it sounded as if her throat was torn, suffused with intense despair.

Princess Yongning, daughter of Ning Zhaozong, sister of the King of Yan, the future Crown Prince...

Countless titles fell upon this very young girl, but they were merely embellishments.

"Wrong again." Ye Wanlan’s expression remained unchanged, calm and composed, yet her presence was overwhelmingly compelling, "With your status, you are not qualified to call my full name."

My Palace!

This self-address made Su Han Yan’s pupils constrict once more.

After Princess Yongning took residence in the East Palace, her status was elevated, naturally a position above all, yet she was so amiable, never using her identity as Crown Prince to oppress others.

At that time, Su Han Yan was also very puzzled; since she was already in such a high position, why not utilize her status?

Later, when she personally witnessed Princess Yongning dealing with traitors in the court, Su Han Yan finally understood that the so-called oppressive force of status is only engaged during external affairs.

Princess Yongning had never shown mercy when dealing with enemies.

"Hehe..." Su Han Yan laughed miserably, her facial wrinkles twisted together, "Three hundred years later, I became your enemy... How could I dare..."

If it were only facing Shui Yunqing, she might still have some confidence, but with Xiang Lan added, everything was, indeed, a foregone conclusion.

Even though the Princess Yongning that Su Han Yan had seen always appeared frail and sickly, she didn’t harbor the slightest thought of defiance.

Because some people, even with a frail body, can still grasp the world.

"No wonder..." The corners of Su Han Yan’s mouth had turned black with blood, and she laughed miserably, "No wonder I always felt Su Xueqing’s behavior was so much like yours, Your Highness..."

With Princess Yongning’s guidance, it’s natural that Su Xueqing had the ability to reverse the entire Su Family situation within a few months.

The plans and schemes she had devised over three hundred years could not compare to Princess Yongning’s mere wave of a hand.

"I won’t tell you that you shouldn’t have done it." Ye Wanlan quietly watched her, "Wrong is wrong. All choices are made in a single thought."

Su Han Yan forcefully closed her eyes, her heart still trembling, "Your Highness, how could someone as high as you understand the joys and sorrows of us little people? The things you want will always be offered to you, but I..."

If she were Princess Yongning, holding absolute power, she certainly wouldn’t have walked this path.

In this life, she could never obtain what she wanted.

"Clang!"

The last gold needle was also pulled out by Shui Yunqing.

Su Han Yan’s eyes suddenly widened, and at that moment, her breath finally ceased, her life completely ended.

One hundred and eight gold and silver needles had penetrated deeply into her bones, and her body was already shattered.

Moreover, since this action was already defying the heavens, there was always a price to pay.

Su Han Yan’s soul had long been pinned in her body by the one hundred and eight gold and silver needles, and once the needles were removed, her soul dissipated with them.

From then on, there would be no reincarnation.

Was it worth it?

Ye Wanlan would not ask these four words either, because to everyone, whether it’s worth it or not, is different.

If Su Han Yan believed it was worth it, then it was.

"I never hide my desire and ambition for power." Ye Wanlan extended her hand, covering Su Han Yan’s eyelids to close her eyes, she softly said, "The beauty of the world, how could it not be alluring?"

But ultimately, gaining power cannot come at the cost of innocent lives.

Since establishing the Su Family, Su Han Yan had been advocating that the Su Family was the successor of Taiyi Palace, yet at the same time abandoning the original intent of the Taiyi Healers, making profit the core, disregarding patients’ lives, seeking more wealth and power.

If it weren’t for Zhu Jinwei seeing through Su Han Yan’s intentions at the time and choosing to separate medicine and healing, delaying Su Han Yan’s plan, the consequences now would be unimaginable.

Looking at the now silent Su Han Yan, Shui Yunqing also stood quietly in place. She suddenly blinked lightly, and unexpectedly, a crystal tear fell.

With a plop, it hit the ground, splashing water flowers.

"Yunqing!" Ye Wanlan was slightly surprised, "You..."

Gu People did not have vitality, their hair doesn’t grow, so naturally, they shouldn’t have tears either.

But now?

Ye Wanlan pondered for a moment, her brow relaxing.

After all, Su Han Yan and Shui Yunqing learned together under the Old Man of Medicine Valley, they were sister apprentices, deeply bonded.

Seeing Su Han Yan become what she is now and personally dealing with her own sister apprentice, under immense joy and sorrow, Shui Yunqing was naturally touched at the distant memories.

This tear proved that Shui Yunqing indeed had a chance to return to normal!

This was an unexpected joy, Ye Wanlan slowly exhaled a sigh of relief, she even had to thank Su Han Yan for accelerating Shui Yunqing’s return to normal speed.

"Ah Lan!" Hua Yingyue hurried over, glanced around, and couldn’t help but be stunned, "Already resolved?"

"Mm." Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "After all, a disciple of Taiyi Palace, let’s bury it."

**

The next day, early morning.

The fall of the Su Family ancestor Su Han Yan, yet drew no attention from anyone in the Su Family.

Even Su Mufeng did not know that overnight, the Su Family’s position had shifted, and the Su Family’s trump card was no longer there.

At this moment, the Su Family Great Elder gathered everyone from the Su Family to announce the next Family Head candidate.

"Regrettably, during this Family Head challenge, Ningxiang has left us." The Su Family Great Elder’s sorrow was not pretense, "Ningxiang was a genius of the Su Family, she also contributed a lot to the Su Family, and we must always remember her."

No one spoke, but many sighed with relief.

Su Ningxiang’s ways were too ruthless and merciless, ordinarily, they wouldn’t dare say anything due to her dominance.

Now that Su Ningxiang is gone, the dark clouds looming over them have also lifted.

"You’ve all seen Xueqing’s strength, deserving of recognition." The Su Family Great Elder continued, "However, Xueqing said yesterday that she feels inferior to Mufeng and is willing to vacate the position of the Su Family Head to Mufeng."

"!"

The audience was in an uproar!

Su Xueqing expended great effort to defeat the young head Su Ningxiang, yet now she would give up the position of Family Head?

But indeed, Su Mufeng’s medical and martial arts dual cultivation is also extremely powerful.

"If no one objects, then from today on, Mufeng will be the Family Head of our Su Family." The Su Family Great Elder’s gaze was stern as he surveyed the room, "I believe he will lead us in chainmail—"

"Hold on."

At this moment, two soft words overpowered the voice of the Su Family Great Elder.
