Chapter 660: 660 Fists Speak! [Ch. 2]

Based on Lin Qin’s intelligence, Ye Wanlan is ninety percent certain that Lin Shiyuan is plotting something.

Perhaps it’s controlling Yunjing, or harming Shenzhou.

No matter which it is, she absolutely cannot allow it.

From the very beginning, she and Lin Shiyuan were destined to stand on opposite sides.

Upon hearing Ye Wanlan’s words, Xie Linyuan felt as if he could hear his own heartbeat: "How could I refuse Little Junior Sister’s invitation? I also want Ah Yin..."

At this point, he didn’t continue but gently touched his heart.

Three hundred years ago, he ultimately failed her.

"Good." Ye Wanlan nodded, "But Lin Shiyuan is very cautious, we mustn’t rush to succeed."

Xie Linyuan understood.

We must use the safest way to bring Lin Fanyin back.

Deep into the quiet night, as the lights faded.

In the Forbidden Land of the Lin Family, within the Sacrificial Hall.

The Great Protector closed her eyes, turning the prayer beads, and after a few seconds, frowned and asked, "You granted Ye Wanlan access to the Scripture Pavilion and the Tianyin Courtyard?"

"Yes." Lin Shiyuan said blandly, "Barring any surprises, she’ll go tonight."

The Great Protector’s frown deepened, but she never spoke harshly, instead, she sighed long and deeply: "Shiyuan, have you perhaps forgotten, the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither is inside the Scripture Pavilion, and if Ye Wanlan sees it..."

The Three Ancient Zithers of the Heavenly Sound Sect were the Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither for offense, the Primordial Lost Sound Zither for defense and healing, and the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither for both attack and defense.

In past years, Princess Yongning was frail and unable to gather Inner Strength, but the elders of the Heavenly Sound Sect still gave her the Primordial Lost Sound Zither.

Since then, this zither was lost.

The Lin Family went to Jiangnan multiple times, searching along records of Princess Yongning’s incognito visits, but unfortunately, they failed to find the Primordial Lost Sound Zither.

Last year, the Withered Wood Dragon Chant Zither appeared at an auction, yet the Lin Family failed to obtain it, and even after tracing it to this day, they remain unaware of the person who won the zither at the time.

This is indeed a great humiliation for the Lin Family!

"Great Protector, there is one thing I haven’t told you." Lin Shiyuan set down the teacup with a slight smile, "The Primordial Lost Sound Zither may have been located by Lin Weilan and given to Ye Wanlan."

"!"

The Great Protector paused her hand turning the beads, and suddenly opened her eyes: "Is that true?"

"Sixty percent certainty." Lin Shiyuan said, "But I checked, not knowing where she placed the Primordial Lost Sound Zither. I can only wait for her to take it out herself."

"No wonder." The Great Protector then understood, "You intend to judge the position of the Primordial Lost Sound Zither using the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither in the Scripture Pavilion?"

Lin Shiyuan blandly replied, "Yes, Great Protector rest assured, the compatibility between the Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither and myself is growing higher, it won’t be stolen."

"It’s good that you’re aware." The Great Protector’s expression became kindly, "The burden of the Lin Family rests upon your shoulders."

Lin Shiyuan’s eyes flickered: "Yes, Great Protector."

**

The next morning.

Ye Wanlan is now in a state of confinement, unable to leave the Lin Family until after the wedding of Lin and Huo families concludes.

Even Lin Qin is not permitted to visit.

Yet, people like Xiang Mingyu are not restricted, for apart from Ye Wanlan, no one can see them.

"Aunt, you’re here so early?" Ye Wanlan smiled, "My senior brother and I just sat down."

"Aunt can’t sit still, worrying about you." Xiang Mingyu gritted her teeth, "What kind of thing is Huo Yunling, daring to say he would marry you?"

Ning Zhaozong expended all efforts and countless people to cultivate the Crown Prince, awaiting Princess Yongning’s choice, who dares utter the word ’marry’?

"Aunt, don’t be angry." Ye Wanlan didn’t mind, "Taking advantage of the situation is what you taught me, ’not entering the tiger’s den, how to capture the tiger’s cub?’"

Xiang Mingyu was stunned, somewhat exasperated yet amused.

"And to me, the most important thing is my teacher." Ye Wanlan placed the Mingyue Token on the table, recounting the events.

Xiang Mingyu’s expression shook, getting up suddenly: "Mingshu’s spirit is inside this?"

"Yes, absolutely." Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "It’s just that because my teacher’s soul hasn’t obtained sufficient nourishment, hasn’t awakened, and cannot come out."

"As long as it’s there, that’s enough." Xiang Mingyu murmured, "Excellent, this is excellent news!"

When the Eight Hundred Vassals and Six Great Sects were all destroyed, leaving only the precarious Fengyuan City, she donned her armor from years ago, mounted her horse, and went to battle.

Xiang Mingyu knew, even at her most valiant in her youth, she certainly wouldn’t withstand the coming enemy, but with her life, she could buy time for Xiang Chen and Xiang Ke.

If she could delay even one more second, then her death was worthwhile.

Surely, others shared the same mindset.

Stripping away identity, disregarding personal emotions, their task and responsibility were singular—

To protect Shenzhou.

Xiang Mingyu had never imagined she could return to Shenzhou and witness the glorious prosperity three hundred years later.

Just as she had never imagined she would someday reunite with old friends and colleagues.

Shen Mingshu was originally discovered and immediately recommended to Ning Zhaozong by Xiang Mingyu.

Though ten years apart in age, they were like sisters.

Not to mention, Shen Mingshu possessed exceptional talent, born for leadership and governance.

If Shen Mingshu could be resurrected, Xiang Mingyu couldn’t fathom how much more benefit she would bring to Shenzhou.

"How wonderful..." Xiang Mingyu softly spoke, tears sliding down her cheeks, "I wonder about Little He now..."

Mentioning He Jia, Ye Wanlan fell into a rare silence.

After a prolonged silence, she smiled confidently, "The whereabouts of Prince Yan’s Sword has come to light, I will certainly bring Prince Brother home."

"With Little Junior Sister here, hope is growing ever larger." Xie Linyuan crossed his arms, "In this world, if Little Junior Sister desires it, she can surely succeed."

"Senior brother overestimates me." Ye Wanlan shook her head slightly, "I am not a god, and even gods have moments of powerlessness."

"What does it matter if you’re not a god?" Hua Yingyue raised her hand, resting it lightly on Ye Wanlan’s shoulder, she raised an eyebrow, "Shenzhou has never needed gods, because we are gods ourselves, we are fearless, we act, we remain unrepentant."

"Well said, we remain unrepentant!" Huo Jingyu laughed heartily, "King Qin’s spirit, I admire."

Xie Linyuan gave him a sidelong glance, snorted, "Who knows whose descendant is targeting Ah Lan."

"Brother Xie’s words are misinformed." Huo Jingyu had a faint smile at his lips, "I have no wife or children, where could a descendant come from? I do not acknowledge them."

This matter also angered him, if he were still living, he would have wielded the Divine Might Spear to clear the household.

While several chatted, Ye Wanlan’s phone rang.

"Miss Ye! Yun Yi is back!" On the other end, it was Rong Qi, "I heard about your matter, and he’s confronting Huo Yunling."

Ye Wanlan’s brows tightened: "Tell him not to rush, I have a plan, besides, I fear he might truly lose."

There’s definitely something odd about Huo Yunling!

Rong Qi sighed, "Though Yun Yi is reticent, his temper is bad, I’ll find a way to persuade him."

At this moment, at the Huo Family.

Atmosphere congealed, tension ripe.

Huo Yunyi’s expression was icy to the extreme.

He hadn’t expected that within months away from home, such a major incident would unfold.

He wasn’t angry about challenging the position of the Huo Family Patriarch.

But to marry Ye Wanlan?

Huo Yunyi could hardly restrain his fury.

"Brother, I advise you not to fight me." Huo Yunling chuckled lightly, "You are absolutely no match for me now."

With these words, the entire Huo Family fell silent.

Only the elders who had witnessed Huo Yunling displaying the Shence Spear Technique’s Eighth Layer remained tight-lipped, refraining from intervening in the brothers’ conflict.

"Second brother, what nonsense are you spouting?" Huo Yungui couldn’t stand it any longer and jumped out, "Big brother can topple you with a finger, let alone against me, Eighth Layer is beyond your reach."

The Third Elder of the Huo Family frowned, shouted: "Yungui, your words are uncalled for here, withdraw quickly!"

Huo Yungui was also a genius among Huo’s younger generation, but his character was too flighty, unsuited to become head of the family.

"I insist on speaking!" Huo Yungui shouted loudly, "Second brother, lose hope in marrying a beautiful sister, she will never favor you."

"In the Huo family, fists speak." Huo Yunyi’s jaw tightened, "No need for words, let’s start."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yunling smiled: "Brother, please—"

He wants Huo Yunyi’s life!
