Chapter 687: 687 Sister Lan, Handsome to New Heights [Chapter 1]

"..."

The surroundings suddenly quieted down.

This was the edge of the combat zone. Though sparsely populated, it didn’t mean that no one was around.

The guards of Shenzhou University all wore distinctive uniforms, easily recognizable at a glance.

Seeing an Eastern-faced girl blocking the path of two guards, the students coming and going were stunned.

Beside her, the girl was also dumbfounded: "Ye Wanlan, you..."

She hadn’t even seen how Ye Wanlan stood up or held the shoulders of the two guards.

Just felt a blur in front of her eyes, a gust of wind swept past.

But earlier, Ye Wanlan was clearly looking so weak, how did she stand up in the next second?

The two guards didn’t expect this girl, who had been collapsing on the ground, to have the strength to hinder them.

They didn’t react at all as their bodies lifted off the ground, feet airborne, everything spinning.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A simple shoulder throw, the backs of the two guards hit the ground hard, stars appearing before their eyes.

Teacher Qi stared blankly at Ye Wanlan, who was dusting off her hands, her mind shocked at this moment.

She... she seemed to have heard Professor Xue say that this Student Ye had quite good skills.

"You, you..." One of the guards’ faces twisted in pain, he said fiercely, "Do you want to be sent back to Shenzhou?!"

"I heard that in this place called the Global Center, there is no law, only fists matter." Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "New here, I don’t understand your rules, but I shouldn’t be wrong."

The two guards’ faces turned green.

Fists speak, those four words are an ancient and unchanging dictum.

Ye Wanlan didn’t harm their lives, not even leaving a wound. Even if they reported it upstairs, nothing would happen.

Pain spread from their backs to their whole bodies, the two guards regretted ever coming.

If they knew these students from Yunjing University could fight, they certainly wouldn’t have dared to ridicule Shenzhou openly.

Ye Wanlan collected her smile and said coldly: "Leave."

Feeling like they’d received a pardon, the two guards got up simply, supporting each other, limping away awkwardly.

Ye Wanlan dusted off her clothes, turned her head, and saw Teacher Qi and the students staring at her wide-eyed.

She raised an eyebrow: "What’s wrong?"

"Ye, Ye Wanlan, you’re so cool!" The girl said with starry eyes, couldn’t help but clap, "Have you trained in fighting? You’re amazing."

"Know a little bit." Ye Wanlan said, "Teacher Qi, I want to rest. You continue to look around, I’ll return to the dorm first."

"Ah? Oh oh." Teacher Qi finally regained her senses, "Be careful on the way."

"Careful?" A boy muttered, "Shouldn’t it be the others being careful..."

Anyway, this junior sister of theirs was truly showing new heights of coolness.

**

On the way back to the dorm, Ye Wanlan contacted Wen Chaosheng.

Though the Imperial Jade Seal protected her this time, she couldn’t determine whether the protection was temporary, so she still needed to constantly increase her own energy.

"Xiao Wan." Yan Tingfeng knocked and entered, "You—"

Before finishing his sentence, he had already swiftly moved to Ye Wanlan, reaching out lightning-fast and grabbed her wrist.

Pulse weak, inner strength depleted.

Obviously experienced a fierce battle.

Yet he felt no large-scale energy explosions within Shenzhou University.

Instantly, Yan Tingfeng understood the situation’s reason: "Another one like the Transcendent Woman?"

"Tingting is always smart." Ye Wanlan smiled, "I was just about to tell you this matter. I indeed escaped by the skin of my teeth."

Yan Tingfeng’s gaze darkened, was about to speak when the door was knocked again.

Upon receiving Ye Wanlan’s message, Wen Chaosheng rushed over nonstop.

"My God, Sister Lan!" Wen Chaosheng was terrified, "If something happened to you at the Global Center, I... I wouldn’t forgive myself!"

He hurriedly inspected Ye Wanlan up and down, only after confirming she was unharmed did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"What can’t you forgive yourself for, I’m fine." Ye Wanlan chuckled, "I didn’t call you to blame you, but to ask you about some matters."

"Me?" Wen Chaosheng scratched his head, "I’m not daring enough, I just muddle through each day."

After these words, he noticed there was another person in the room.

The man’s face was remarkably young, features deep, appearance handsome.

The most striking was his long silver-white hair draped over his shoulders, adding a touch of refined nobility to his originally graceful visage.

In this era, not only white hair, even green, purple, pink hair were quite common, some even dyed their hair rainbow-colored.

Just...

Wen Chaosheng took another look.

Why does it feel like such white hair couldn’t be dyed?

Born with white hair was quite rare among the people of Shenzhou.

"This is my life-or-death friend, Yan Tingfeng." Ye Wanlan introduced, "This is an employee from the Supernatural Affairs Office, Wen Chaosheng."

Hearing the words "life-or-death", Wen Chaosheng immediately stood in awe: "Hello, hello."

"Pleasure." Yan Tingfeng smiled slightly, "Little Wan mentioned you, said you’ve been online friends for a long time."

"That’s right." Wen Chaosheng said carefreely, "We used to hang out in the Zeroing Community, after the community closed down, only group chats were left. Sister Lan, we should discuss the important matters first."

"Mm." Ye Wanlan nodded lightly, "Just today, I encountered the second person chasing me, he said their kind is called ’Time Punisher’."

This term was unfamiliar to both Yan Tingfeng and Wen Chaosheng.

"And I’m a Time Criminal, so these punisher want to kill me to gain more power." Ye Wanlan continued, "The lowest-level Time Criminals are the Time Betrayers."

Wen Chaosheng blurted out: "So Sister Lan, your body possession was actually a punishment from Time Punisher?"

Yan Tingfeng’s eyes suddenly deepened.

"Precisely." Ye Wanlan nodded, "Punisher also have high and low ranks. That Transcendent Woman was the lowest-level punisher, with no combat strength, and she can only occupy a Time Criminal’s body."

"In this way, the scope is narrowed down!" Wen Chaosheng’s expression brightened, but soon realized the key point, "But how do we determine who is a Time Criminal?"

"Time Criminal..." Yan Tingfeng gazed at his palm, the black lines appearing and disappearing.

Having lived over three hundred years, he too was long since a time traitor.

"This is exactly what confuses me." Ye Wanlan pondered, "The definition of Time Criminal, I am unclear, so I’d like to ask you to use the Supernatural Affairs Office’s influence to investigate."

"No problem, leave it to me." Wen Chaosheng agreed.

"The person chasing me this time also mentioned a crucial location." Ye Wanlan said word by word, "Time Administration Bureau."

Their expressions instantly changed upon hearing this.

"How could such a place exist?" Wen Chaosheng couldn’t help but gasp, "Time couldn’t possibly be controlled!"

"I think the same, but unreasonable existences continue to appear." Ye Wanlan’s tone turned cold, "Most importantly, I suspect the Battle of Ten Thousand Armies has this organization’s involvement."

Yan Tingfeng’s intent to kill arose instantly.

"It’s unfathomable." Wen Chaosheng paced the room with hands behind his back, "I’ll have to ask my boss if he knows of such a place."

"Boom boom boom!"

The door was knocked again, very roughly.

Wen Chaosheng went cold: "Sister Lan, did you call other group friends?"

"No, each to their own specialty, I only called you." Ye Wanlan glanced at the door, "Uninvited, they are foes, not friends."

"Boom!"

This time, the door was kicked open.

A youth led the way, followed by several others.

"Are you Ye Wanlan?" The youth looked Ye Wanlan up and down, "Just an exchange student from Yunjing University, dare to make trouble at Shenzhou University, truly ignorant of Heaven and Earth, extremely arrogant!"

Wen Chaosheng spat out water with a "pfft": "S-Sister Lan, what have you done?"

"Nothing." Ye Wanlan’s expression was indifferent, "Just hit a couple of guards."

"Why are there two others?" The youth frowned but soon relaxed, "Since they’re from Shenzhou, they must be together, let’s clean them up together."

Wen Chaosheng pointed at himself, "Me?"

He had no idea how to fight people, only knew how to fight ghosts!

"Not you, it’s me." Yan Tingfeng slowly stood up, "Indeed, need to clean them up together."

What a coincidence, he also liked using fists to speak.
