Chapter 718: Idol of Princess Yongning [2 more updates]

Si Qingyin, eldest son of the Si Family!

"Bang!"

It was as if something had burst open, the air echoed with a sharp crack.

The next moment, the mask on Ye Wanlan’s face cracked in the middle and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Though she dodged the blade Si Qingyin shot at her, the blade also fell to the ground.

Yet the wind from the blade was even stronger and shattered her mask.

Ye Wanlan’s expression did not change at all, she glanced down at the mask on the ground and quickly raised her hand, conjuring a new face with Art and Method.

Nowadays, Inner Energy Practitioners are rare, not only due to the innate talents of modern people but also because the Inner Strength cultivation techniques are held by the Five Great Families, never passed on.

Si Qingyin’s deep inner strength shows that his ancestors in the Si Family were highly cultivated Jianghu people, passed down through generations.

Ye Wanlan turned around and met a pair of cold, stern eyes.

"Who are you?" Si Qingyin landed on the ground, his gaze sharp as a blade, "Why did you sneak into my Si Family and steal my sister’s belongings?"

"Your sister’s belongings?" Ye Wanlan lowered her voice and laughed softly, she slowly opened the folding fan in her hand, "The Flowing Cloud Fan was lost from the Universal Museum, and the Supervision Bureau thoroughly investigated all the suspects present. Young Master Si must have heard of this, right?"

Si Qingyin frowned: "..."

He indeed hadn’t heard of this matter.

Today, he had just returned to the Si Family not long ago and had intended to check on Si Yanshu’s health but was informed by the Si Housekeeper that Si Yanshu was already asleep.

"I came to the Si Family just to return the Flowing Cloud Fan to its rightful owner." Ye Wanlan’s voice was steady and calm, she even began to shake the fan, "Young Master Si says my actions are those of a thief, but what about the Si Family?"

Si Qingyin took a deep breath, his fists clenched tight, with veins bulging on the back of his hands.

It was anger, yet it was not directed at Ye Wanlan.

"The Flowing Cloud Fan disappeared, and innocent Shenzhou University students were harshly interrogated." Ye Wanlan said lightly, "Young Master Si, what do you consider such behavior?"

Before the words finished, there was only—

"Boom!"

A huge sound, a three-meter-high artificial mountain beside the stone steps suddenly burst open.

Ye Wanlan’s eyebrow twitched.

Such strong inner strength.

"The actions of the Si Family are also those of thieves." Si Qingyin finally spoke, "You should leave, and make sure to return the Flowing Cloud Fan to its rightful owner."

"Thank you." Ye Wanlan suddenly smiled, "Young Master Si, you are noble, with Jianghu chivalry, I admire you."

Si Qingyin’s expression slightly changed, and as he was about to say something, the girl tapped her toe and instantly vanished.

His eyes sharpened, deep in his pupils ignited a strong interest.

To his surprise, at this moment, he witnessed the legendary Qinggong described in ancient texts!

This girl...

"Xiao Yin!" Lady Si rushed over, "What happened? Did someone try to harm Xiao Shu?"

Si Qingyin said nothing, he turned around, just quietly watching Lady Si.

Lady Si stiffened under his gaze: "Xiao... Xiao Yin, what’s wrong?"

Si Qingyin coldly asked, "Was the Flowing Cloud Fan stolen from the Universal Museum by you all?"

"Such a thing, how can it be called stealing?" Lady Si blushed, arguing, "This was originally Shenzhou’s item, the Universal Museum are the real robbers."

"If it is indeed Shenzhou’s item, why didn’t mother return the Flowing Cloud Fan to the Xiang Family of Shenzhou?" Si Qingyin stepped forward, aggressive, "Instead, you gave it to my sister?"

"This..." Lady Si took a deep breath, "You know your sister likes Fu Style, don’t you?"

"Taking without asking is stealing!" Si Qingyin sharply raised his tone, "Mother, you handled this matter too poorly!"

Lady Si hesitated, unable to utter a word of rebuttal.

Si Qingyin is just and upright, even if she is his mother, if she makes a mistake, she will be reprimanded.

She naturally couldn’t tell him she wanted to put those at Yunjing University in their place to vent for Si Yanshu.

If Si Qingyin knew this inside story, he would surely be even more furious.

"Xiao Yin, mother knows she was wrong." Lady Si took a deep breath, "But you can’t let an unknown person take away the Flowing Cloud Fan!"

Si Qingyin didn’t answer, instead, he said: "Mother, please never do such things again!"

He waved his sleeve and left stride.

"Madam, the young master is also doing it for your good." The Si Housekeeper stepped forward, whispered, "He has no tolerance for injustice, such matters naturally offend him."

Lady Si shook her head, "I think he has read too many Shenzhou history books and developed strange temperaments."

"The young master’s idols are Princess Yongning and the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, naturally he learns from them." The Si Housekeeper smiled, "Madam can rest assured, with the young master’s current strength, he can support the Si family’s mainstay."

Lady Si finally showed a smile, then sighed again: "Find some other treasures to give to Xiao Shu."

"Yes, madam." The Si Housekeeper replied respectfully.

**

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, the eldest son of the Si family seems decent." The Qingyun Pendant said, "He actually allowed you to leave."

"Since he loves Shenzhou’s historical culture, he is naturally not a villain." Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "I stopped to reason with him because I noticed he wore two jade tokens."

The two jade tokens were inscribed with two names—

Yongning.

Shenxiao.

Otherwise, with Ye Wanlan’s temperament, she wouldn’t have said another word, she would have dealt directly.

The Si Family Mansion, though modeled after the Ning Dynasty style, only the Si Family would truly know if their hearts respected Shenzhou.

But Si Qingyin is indeed worthy of being called a "gentleman."

A gentleman is magnanimous, in this era, it’s hard for gentlemen to survive, yet such gentlemen are needed to change this era.

"I see." The Shence Army Tiger Tally realized, "This person is a fan of Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Tower Master?"

The Jade Luan Pin was thoughtful: "Then he’s really lucky, having already seen his idols."

"Each second the Flowing Cloud Fan remains at the Global Center increases the risk factor." Ye Wanlan took out her phone, sent a message to Yan Tingfeng, "It must be returned to Shenzhou immediately."

This sentence had not finished when she already sensed the approach of intense killing intent.

Relying on her strong practical experience, Ye Wanlan sidestepped to dodge.

The one who had hidden in the dark for so long finally revealed themselves.

It was a masked old woman, her skin weathered, her voice hoarse: "Young girl, good skills, to be able to retrieve the Flowing Cloud Fan from the Si family, even I have been troubled by this."

Inside the Si Family, there were many formations, making it difficult for someone who knew nothing about formations.

She had tried to enter the Si Family, but would always trigger the formations.

Yet today she hadn’t expected a young female thief to be able to take the Flowing Cloud Fan, and withdraw completely from the Si family.

The masked old woman was unaware of what transpired in the Si Family, her attention was entirely on the Flowing Cloud Fan.

Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed.

"Young girl, I won’t waste words with you." The masked old woman’s gaze was greedy, "Hand over the Flowing Cloud Fan, then you can leave."

"I’m afraid that’s not possible." Ye Wanlan chuckled lightly, "Brother Yan only loves beautiful things in this world. You look so ugly, ruining the view, if I gave it to you and he comes to fight me, what would I do?"
