Chapter 679: 679 There’s nothing Sister Lan can’t accomplish [1st update]

"..."

However, Xiang Shaoyu still didn’t respond at all.

His gaze was vacant and his eyes lifeless, as if his life, which had always been smooth sailing, had suffered an unprecedented blow.

Seeing this, Patriarch Xiang became more anxious and kicked Xiang Shaoyu once more.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Xiang Shaoyu grimaced in pain, finally snapping out of it.

He glanced nervously at Patriarch Xiang and immediately grabbed his phone and ran: "I have to see, I have to see, I’m going over there now!"

"Hey!" Patriarch Xiang hadn’t anticipated that Xiang Shaoyu would take off running so quickly that he couldn’t catch up, "This kid, doesn’t even know whom he’s acquainted with all day long."

Xiang Shaoyu ran all the way to the Rong Family, panting heavily: "Quick, quick, get me a glass of water!"

"Oh my, our Crown Prince." Rong Yu leisurely sitting with his legs crossed, "Why are you so tired? Panting like a dog?"

Xiang Shaoyu: "...Shut up, don’t let me hear that title."

"You brat, always talking nonsense!" Rong Jingqiu glared at Rong Yu, "Shaoyu, sit down, the water is here."

Only after downing three pitchers of water did Xiang Shaoyu catch his breath and hurriedly asked, "Where’s Miss Ye?"

"In the back mountain." Rong Jingqiu realized, "You’re here to see the Shadow Trailing Sword, aren’t you?"

"Exactly." Xiang Shaoyu nodded, "Uncle Rong, I won’t be catching up with you today, I’ll head to the back mountain first."

He tapped his toes and gracefully leapt away with Qinggong.

Rong Family’s Back Mountain.

The Supreme Elder of the Rong family was there meticulously examining the Dragging Shadow Twin Swords in Ye Wanlan’s hand: "Indeed, the culmination of ancient wisdom, these two swords are truly extraordinary."

"Miss Ye!" Xiang Shaoyu came rushing in.

"You’ve arrived." Ye Wanlan turned, surprisingly raising her hand and tossing the Shadow Trailing Sword to him, "Take a look then."

Xiang Shaoyu was startled, quickly making his way to catch the Shadow Trailing Sword.

The moment he grasped the sword hilt, he too felt the bloodline trembling.

"It really is the Shadow Trailing Sword!" Xiang Shaoyu took a deep breath, cautiously caressing the twin swords in his hand, "I wonder where Miss Ye acquired them?"

Ye Wanlan looked up at him.

"I have no intention of forcibly taking them." Xiang Shaoyu hurriedly explained, "I’m just curious about where the Shadow Trailing Sword appeared."

"At Penglai Mountain Peak." Yan Tingfeng said unhurriedly, "Even if you wanted to steal it, you couldn’t, because this sword is now used by Xiao Wan."

Xiang Shaoyu’s mind was greatly shaken: "This is an ancestor’s weapon... it means Miss Ye has received the ancestor’s recognition!"

The Shen Wei Spear had been with the Huo Family for several months, yet still no one could wield it.

Even Huo Yunyi could only manage to lift it, unable to unleash its original power.

This recognition is incredibly difficult to achieve.

"You could say that." Ye Wanlan smiled, "But rest assured, I won’t disappoint the Shadow Trailing Sword."

"Miss Ye is too humble." Xiang Shaoyu slowly exhaled, cupping his fists, "I must thank Miss Ye for bringing the Shadow Trailing Sword back to the world."

Such a weapon wouldn’t appear unless for the right person.

Being able to closely encounter the Shadow Trailing Sword was already immensely gratifying for Xiang Shaoyu.

He also understood the importance of this weapon and had no intention of informing any other Xiang Family member.

Otherwise, given the temperament of the Elders of the Xiang Family, they would surely capture Ye Wanlan and force her to hand over the Shadow Trailing Sword.

"In the coming months, I will leave Shenzhou." Ye Wanlan said, "But during this time, Yunjing should be quite peaceful, so Young Master Shaoyu can rest easy."

"Leaving Shenzhou for a few months?" Xiang Shaoyu was taken aback, "Where is Miss Ye going?"

"The exchange program between Yunjing University and Shenzhou University is underway." Yan Tingfeng said, "Xiao Wan is heading to the Global Center, the flight is tomorrow, so I won’t be around much in Shenzhou either."

"I see." Xiang Shaoyu’s expression turned solemn, "Miss Ye, don’t worry, before you return, I won’t allow any major upheaval in Yunjing."

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow with a smile, "But you must be prepared for potential upheaval."

This board is still in play, and no one can stop it.

**

News of Ye Wanlan’s imminent departure for the Global Center naturally reached Lin Shiyuan’s ears.

"Miss Shiyuan, the exchange program between Yunjing University and Shenzhou University is finalized." Steward Lin spoke in a lowered voice, "Ye Wanlan’s flight is early tomorrow morning; should we intercept it?"

"Oh?" Lin Shiyuan squinted upon hearing this and said indifferently, "No need, how long does this program last?"

"A full year." Steward Lin replied, "But the holidays for Shenzhou University and Yunjing University are the same, during winter they’ll return, this period is quite lengthy, Miss Shiyuan, maybe we should..."

"Unnecessary." Lin Shiyuan waved gently, "Right now, there’s nothing in the Lin Family she can participate in, let her go."

Steward Lin wanted to say something but eventually retreated without speaking.

Lin Shiyuan lowered her head and continued playing the zither.

"You have her leave Shenzhou now and go to the Global Center?" The voice reappeared, paused, expressing some disapproval, "The Global Center is full of intrigue, the distribution of power is extraordinarily complex, even our spies can’t cover the entire area, aren’t you afraid she’ll exceed your control once she’s there?"

"Of course I’m afraid." Lin Shiyuan said calmly, "But I’m even more afraid she won’t exceed it."

The voice seemed confused.

"You have to understand, although this generation’s heirs of the Five Great Families are said to be extraordinary geniuses not seen for a century." Lin Shiyuan held her hands behind her back, "In reality, even if the five of us combined, we still wouldn’t compare to any Sect Leader from three hundred years ago."

The voice was silent.

The times create heroes; the era is extraordinarily important.

Moreover, Shenzhou had gone through a war, with life nearly annihilated, and even many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have vanished.

"Don’t be swayed by the Elders saying I can match Lin Fanyin in the future." Lin Shiyuan sneered, "I’m 24, yet Lin Fanyin entered the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Music Method at just 22, she could even play the Three Ancient Zithers simultaneously."

At Lin Fanyin’s level, even a single zither couldn’t fully express her true power.

The voice sighed: "Precisely because Lin Fanyin was so exceptional, she died young, genius is often envied by heaven, why compare yourself with someone deceased?"

"It’s just dissatisfaction." Lin Shiyuan’s expression was indifferent, "Especially when everyone praises you, but you’re acutely aware of the disparity between you and that person, that sense of difference is greater."

She cultivated Ye Wanlan to push herself to further progress.

"Your temperament is beyond me, otherwise..." The voice sighed again, "I only wish you wouldn’t let her exceed your control."

"I know my limits." Lin Shiyuan chuckled lightly, "Besides, if she’s learning at the Global Center, she’ll definitely neglect the Heavenly Music Method."

While not certain, she had a feeling that the turmoil in Yunjing was intertwined with Ye Wanlan.

Thus, Ye Wanlan going to the Global Center would better allow her to carry out her plans.

"Go, inform the steward to prepare some supplies for Ye Wanlan." Lin Shiyuan raised her voice lightly, "Let everyone know she’s part of the Lin Family."

A young dark guard promptly appeared, bowed, and said: "Yes, Miss Shiyuan."

**

In this exchange project between Yunjing University and Shenzhou University, there are a total of 17 students, all elite members of each department.

Like Ye Wanlan, who obtained exchange student qualification in her first year, she’s the only one.

But no one had any objections to this.

Achieving a perfect score in humanities in the Shenzhou High School joint exams isn’t something just anyone can do.

The other 16 senior students couldn’t help but sneak glances at Ye Wanlan, occasionally expressing amazement.

This was also their first time seeing Ye Wanlan in person, finding her quite different from the TV portrayal.

Eight hours later, the plane landed on the Global Center’s continent.

"Where are the pick-up people? Didn’t they say 4 PM?" The leading teacher was arguing with someone on the phone, "If Shenzhou University doesn’t send someone, how do we get there? Hello?!"

"Beep beep beep—"

The call was abruptly cut off.

The cabin fell silent.

The students exchanged glances, surprised by the immediate show of power from the other side upon arrival at the Global Center.

This was their first time at the Global Center; they were unfamiliar with everything.

Without campus guidance, outsiders couldn’t even find Shenzhou University.

Ye Wanlan lowered her lashes, tapping on the screen a few times.
