Chapter 783: 783 Summon the Five Great Families! [1st update]

One sentence made the entire room fall into a dead silence.

Lin Wenli and Lin Qin raised their heads, staring blankly at the dilated pupils of Khor Peiqing.

This time it was Lin Huaijin’s turn to be shocked: "What?"

Zhu Qingxian and Kang Mufeng were also astonished: "Madam Khor is a Chongming person?!"

As Guardians, they had the ability to distinguish between Atlantians and humans, yet they did not notice Khor Peiqing possessing Atlantean blood.

This means that Khor Peiqing’s lineage is certainly not inferior!

"You... you know everything?" Calm as Khor Peiqing, she was at a loss for words, "When... when did you find out? Why, why not..."

"Aunt, when you told me for the second time not to go to the Nanling Sea, I guessed." Ye Wanlan gently held her hand, "You are my family, there is no reason needed."

A simple sentence, yet it shook Khor Peiqing’s heart, and silent tears fell from her eyes: "Yes... I am from Chongming Country, by coincidence I was able to come ashore and seal my lineage."

If it weren’t for Ye Wanlan almost being buried in the Nanling Sea, she would almost have forgotten she was an Atlantian over all these years.

"I see." Kang Mufeng’s eyes still held shock, he cautiously asked, "Then, your identity..."

Sealing one’s lineage is not simple, only royal and noble families in Chongming Country know how to do it.

Khor Peiqing was silent for a moment, then spoke softly: "My identity is of no use, in their eyes, I am already a dead person."

If not dead, then a traitor to Atlantis.

Khor Peiqing suddenly stood up and left the room.

"Peiqing!" Lin Huaijin snapped back and hurriedly chased after her.

Lin Wenli followed quickly: "Mom!"

"Don’t follow me." Khor Peiqing didn’t look back, "I want some peace and quiet."

"Alright, alright, we won’t follow." Lin Huaijin was very nervous, "Peiqing, you still have us, don’t take anything too hard, I don’t mind at all!"

Lin Wenli nodded.

Khor Peiqing remained silent without speaking.

Lin Huaijin was afraid of saying something wrong and kept his mouth shut.

He turned his head to see Lin Wenli repeatedly grabbing his clothes.

Lin Huaijin watched his actions, very puzzled: "What are you doing? Is the clothing not fitting, or is it an allergic reaction?"

"I’m checking if I have scales." Lin Wenli said, "Fish should have gills, right? I’ve never tried swimming; can I breathe underwater directly?"

Lin Huaijin: "???"

Khor Peiqing took a deep breath and finally spoke, somewhat amused: "Atlantians are actually no different from humans; you won’t grow scales or have tails."

"That’s good." Lin Wenli let out a long sigh, "Luckily, I inherited Mom’s genes, otherwise, I would be like Dad, not having a good mind."

Lin Huaijin: "..."

**

Here, inside the room.

Ye Wanlan scanned her eyes around: "Where are Fanyin and Senior Brother?"

Yan Shunhua hugged his arms leaning against the wall, one eye raised: "They went to pour their hearts out, not having seen each other for so long, Brother Xie naturally couldn’t resist."

"Wrong." Hua Yingyue said, "Someone is probably going to get beaten up."

As soon as the words fell, a cry of pain from Xie Linyuan came from outside the window.

Yan Shunhua lightly coughed and silently took a few steps away from Hua Yingyue.

"Should I..." Listening to Xie Linyuan’s voice, Huo Jingyu hesitated momentarily, "Should I go out and check?"

"Fanyin is not a hot-tempered person, just some playful squabbles, Senior Brother can handle it." Ye Wanlan’s expression was calm, "Everyone, I must go to Atlantis."

This statement made everyone’s expression change.

"It’s not because of my bloodline." Ye Wanlan’s voice was very gentle, "It’s because of Prince Brother."

"Ah Lan estimates that Brother must be in the Nanling Sea?" Hua Yingyue was still somewhat concerned, "But if you want to find Prince Brother, you will inevitably be seriously injured again. Atlantis is ultimately a foreign country, if anything happens..."

Xiang Mingyu remained silent for a moment and said, "If Little He were still here, he would certainly stop you."

With He Jia’s temper, how could he stand by and watch his true blood sister risking her life to find him?

"Aunt says my temperament is most similar to Father’s, even more so by three degrees." Ye Wanlan smiled, "So you know, no matter what you say, as long as it’s something I’ve decided on, nothing can change it."

"You!" Xiang Mingyu ultimately didn’t continue, she turned her head, "Auntie can’t stop you, I can only hope you return alive."

"My life is so valued, everyone wants to kill me, I can’t bear to just die like this." Ye Wanlan took the medicine in the bowl, "I will, Auntie."

The phone dinged, showing several messages in the group chat.

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: Did the Heaven-reaching Tower lose its mind from anxiety? How could they invite me to become a Power Angel?

[Ghostbuster Bro]: No, I should be stronger in terms of combat ability; why didn’t they invite me?

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: ?

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: Is this really your focus?

[World’s Richest]: They also invited me, but it was to become the Wisdom Angel.

[Crazy Scientist]: I’m not convinced! Although I can’t make money like Rich Sister, I’m definitely smarter than her, why didn’t they invite me?

[Cultured Person]: ... Is this something worthy of praise and boasting?

[Deadly Poison Master]: So the two angels must be dead, wisdom angel should have been killed by Sister YN, right?

[YN]: It was me.

Two words threw the entire group into dead silence.

[YN]: It’s indeed surprising to me that Heaven-reaching Tower invited you, but actually, they weren’t inviting but notifying.

[World’s Richest]: The person who came claimed to be Waye, I neither agreed nor refused, but replied that I’d think about it.

[YN]: Hmm, try to delay as much as possible. I suspect that once you truly become so-called "angels", you’ll be unable to resist any orders from the Sky Tower Master.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: What exactly is this Sky Tower Master? Could he be related to the Time Administration Bureau?

[Shenzhou University Gate Security]: This Waye isn’t very smart, I got some words from his mouth; the Sky Tower Master will be closed for at least five years, or as long as ten.

[YN]: That’s good news, I’ll return before he finishes his retreat.

[World’s Richest]: Where are you going?

[YN]: Atlantis.

Ye Wanlan put down her phone, her gaze looking far.

But before going to Atlantis, she had more important matters to handle.

Seeing Ye Wanlan actually getting out of bed, Hua Yingyue was anxious: "Ah Lan, your body hasn’t healed yet, don’t get up!"

"Although Baiwei took the wrong path when she walked this path, there are some things she said that I strongly agree with." Ye Wanlan said, "To repel external enemies, first stabilize internally."

If internal stability and unity can’t be guaranteed, how can external enemies be combated?

"Miss Ye." At that moment, the door was knocked, it was Xiang Shaoyu, "The people from the Five families are all here."

Ye Wanlan put on a coat and pushed the door open.

"It’s just Miss Ye, your injury..." Xiang Shaoyu wanted to say more but hesitated.

"It doesn’t matter, time is limited." Ye Wanlan slightly shook her head, "Let’s go."

The two headed towards Xiang Family’s martial arts arena.

At this moment, the martial arts arena was crowded with people, core disciples and high-ranking members from the Five Great Families were all there.

Seeing Ye Wanlan, everyone had differing thoughts.

But seeing Xiang Shaoyu, Huo Yunyi, Su Xueqing, and Rong Qi standing behind her, many people’s expressions changed.

These are the Family Heads and Young Family Heads of the Five Great Families; how can they so openly support Ye Wanlan?

"Young Family Head, why does she deserve to stand here?" A young man from the Xiang Family jumped out, angrily yelling, "Although Lin Shiyuan is dead, the next step should be to kill her, she bears the Atlantis bloodline, not of our kind, surely her heart is different!"
