Chapter 672: 672 Lin Shiyuan’s Mysterious Identity, Penglai Observatory [2nd Update]

"It’s just the Su Family changing dynasties, the Huo Family having such petty issues, and this can make you lose your composure?" The voice remained leisurely, "Whether it’s Su Ningxiang or Huo Yunling, they are just pawns. If they’re gone, they’re gone. They’re not worth your worry and anxiety."

This comforting remark did not calm Lin Shiyuan or restore her composure; instead, her temper "exploded" like a gas tank.

"What do you know?" Lin Shiyuan took a deep breath, trying to control the anger in her voice, "Regardless of the importance of Su Ningxiang and Huo Yunling, they shouldn’t have ended this way in my plan!"

She always prepared for multiple scenarios, knowing that the future could never be entirely controlled, yet there would be traces to follow.

Therefore, for every possible future result, she had corresponding response measures and layouts long before something happened.

Over the past decade, Lin Shiyuan has never failed.

She doesn’t even need to go to the Rong Family for divination to predict the future through human nature, experience, and so on.

But the successive changes in the Su and Huo Families were all beyond her expectations.

She even carefully analyzed Su Xueqing defeating Su Ningxiang to become the Su Family Head. After repeated calculations, she still couldn’t predict the complete and smooth flow of this matter because it lacked a crucial link.

The absence of this link made all the logic invalid.

Yet, Lin Shiyuan could not find this link, which was why she was irritable and anxious.

The affairs of the Su Family had not settled, and the Huo Family was facing new troubles.

How could she possibly stay calm?

"Shiyuan, even the members of the Rong Family can’t account for everything in divination, let alone you?" The voice sighed, "Since things have happened, anxiety is useless. Instead of worrying, think about how to handle the upcoming issues."

"You’re right; the changes in the Huo Family are actually nothing." Lin Shiyuan said coldly, "Huo Yunling’s death won’t affect Huo Yunyi taking the Family Head position."

Her plan didn’t actually need to change much; she simply hated the feeling of things being out of her control.

"That’s correct." The voice laughed and continued, "Time is tight; you mustn’t let these troubles disrupt you."

Lin Shiyuan frowned: "You shouldn’t have appeared. If those old timers in the Rong Family discovered you when divining the heavenly mechanism..."

"What do I fear?" The voice was indifferent, "They’ve been in contact with you countless times without realizing you’re from the Lin Family—"

"Enough!" Lin Shiyuan interrupted coldly, "Are you courting death?"

"Haha, as long as you’re aware, I won’t disturb you anymore."

From the voice’s appearance to disappearance, its owner never showed themselves.

The Hidden Guards in the yard never noticed the presence of an extra person.

Lin Shiyuan frowned, picked up a pen, pondered for a while, and slowly wrote three characters on the stone table—

Ye Wanlan.

The person who interacts with both the Su and Huo Families, if considered an anomaly, would be none other than Ye Wanlan.

Going by her judgment and estimation of Ye Wanlan, Ye Wanlan didn’t have such great ability to influence Huo Family decisions.

After a silent moment, Lin Shiyuan crossed out Ye Wanlan’s name, and her gaze grew sharper.

No matter what, she would never allow her plans to be destroyed.

The matter of Huo Yunling colluding with outsiders to plot against the Huo Family and being subjected to family law stirred up a great storm inside the Five Great Families.

Such matters, of course, were impossible to disclose to the outside world.

After all, over the years, Huo Yunling had connections with many female celebrities and heiresses and had the title "Buddha’s Son of the Capital Circle." If something happened to him, it would undoubtedly cause quite a stir online.

The Huo Family completely blocked any news of Huo Yunling and warned all family members not to spread the word externally.

Even the host of Cold Hidden Temple was unaware of this.

The entire Cold Hidden Temple still believed Huo Yunling had returned to the Huo Family and was preparing to take over the family’s industries.

"Sir, Miss Ye, we’ve checked everywhere in Cold Hidden Temple; there are no traces of Atlantians." Bing He said respectfully, "They’re not disguised as monks either."

"Mm." Yan Tingfeng nodded slightly, "Expand the search range to the entire Yunjing; continue the investigation."

Bing He and Tie Ma said in unison, "Yes!"

Even before Dylan exposed himself, guardians like Zhu Qingxian and Kang Mufeng couldn’t detect his presence, which was indeed worrying.

"Miss Ye, this time, it’s truly thanks to you." Huo Yunyi stepped forward again and bowed deeply to Ye Wanlan, "If not for your timely intervention, my death would be minor, but the downfall of the Huo Family would be major."

How could he face the eight thousand Divine Strategy Army who died protecting Shenzhou?

"Don’t think like that." Ye Wanlan raised her brow, "He said he wouldn’t blame you."

Huo Yunyi was stunned, not able to comprehend: "He?"

"Marshal Huo." Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "He said you’re also a talent, and the future of the Huo Family should be entrusted to you."

Huo Yunyi pressed his lips together and let out a bitter smile: "Miss Ye doesn’t need to say such lively things just to comfort me; I know my own worth."

"I’m not lying." Ye Wanlan spoke calmly, "Marshal Huo appeared to me in a dream, saying he appreciates you, though you have shortcomings."

"Shortcomings?"

"Sometimes, you’re too proud, believing you absolutely can’t lose, yet many times, people do fail."

Huo Yunyi was taken aback, "Was it truly an ancestral dream?"

"Indeed, absolutely true." Ye Wanlan raised her hand and patted his shoulder, "Future General Huo, Shenzhou is still waiting for you."

These words made Huo Yunyi’s blood boil.

He nodded vigorously and hurriedly left to attend to Huo Family matters.

Yan Tingfeng quietly listened on the side, and after Huo Yunyi’s figure disappeared, he smiled: "Xiao Wan, why are you still comforting the youngsters like this?"

"I never comfort anyone; I always speak the truth." Ye Wanlan tilted her head with a smile, "I really look forward to him truly emerging from the cocoon and becoming a butterfly."

Yan Tingfeng blinked lightly, "I’m also looking forward to it."

"Tingting, now that the Huo Family issues have been resolved, I’d like you to accompany me to the Penglai Observatory." Ye Wanlan said, "I wish to offer the Mingyue Token at the Penglai Observatory and incense for Minister Shen."

"Alright." Yan Tingfeng did not refuse Ye Wanlan, "Let’s go now."

Penglai Observatory.

Xing Yue was accompanying the Master of Penglai Observatory, watching the latest episode of "Treasures of The Divine Land."

"Disciple, why is your screen time so little?" The Master of Penglai Observatory said while eating seeds, pointing at the screen, "You must not know how to grab the camera’s attention. If your master were on stage, it would be different."

Xing Yue glanced at him with a look, humphing twice: "If you really went on stage, you’d probably only be eating and drinking, right?"

"Hehe." The Master of Penglai Observatory did not deny it, rubbing his head, "We who practice the Dao aren’t immortals yet; eating, drinking, toileting are life’s big matters."

Xing Yue didn’t want to talk to the Master of Penglai Observatory any further, eyes fixed on the TV.

"Stop watching." The Master of Penglai Observatory suddenly patted her, "Guests have arrived; go greet them."

"Guests?" Xing Yue was first stunned, then joyfully ran out, "Ah Lan!"

"Xing Yue." Ye Wanlan stood at the back door of Penglai Observatory, smiled at her, and nodded slightly, "Tingting and I just arrived, and you came out just in time."

"Oh, it was the old man who first noticed you." Xing Yue waved, "Why suddenly think of coming here? This place is secluded; you can’t even find a roasted chicken to eat."

"Who says you can’t find one?" The Master of Penglai Observatory strolled forward leisurely, "Aren’t there a few chickens in the yard?"

Xing Yue still ignored him: "Ah Lan, is there something wrong?"

"Yes, there is something." Ye Wanlan took out the Mingyue Token, "I want to—"

Before she could finish, the Master’s pupils suddenly contracted: "This is impossible!"
