Chapter 279: 279 The Real Princess Yongning Takes Action! [1 Update] Chapter 279: 279 The Real Princess Yongning Takes Action! [1 Update] All of the Heavenly Sound Sect’s thousands of disciples were annihilated, and the current Yunjing Lin Family was ford by Outer Sect disciples and the remaining family mbers of the disciples.
Even though Lin Fanyin transferred all the treasures and martial arts manuals of the Heavenly Sound Sect before she went to her death, not all of the martial arts were as depicted in the books.
The death of thousands of disciples inevitably led to the loss of so secret techniques.
Even though the Lin Family possessed nine complete Heavenly Music thods, they were still unable to reach the heights of Lin Fanyin.
Because many martial arts could only be passed down from one generation to the next, and once a break occurred in the lineage, that heritage was completely severed.
At this mont, Ye Wanlan wasn’t thinking about the few extra Finger Techniques she knew compared to the Lin Family, but thankfully, she had the ability to rember everything after one glance, only needing to witness soone’s move once to commit it to mory.
Otherwise, if such supre martial arts were interrupted, it would be a huge loss for Shenzhou.
She didn’t believe in fate, nor did she believe in heaven’s will, but heaven allowing her to return to Shenzhou may have been a reluctance to see the legacy lost.
In this life, she had endless opportunities.
Therefore, there were also limitless possibilities.
The tasks she didn’t complete in her past life, she would continue to pursue.
Xie Linyuan’s body suddenly trembled.
At that mont, he actually saw the shadow of the King of Yan, He Jia, in Ye Wanlan.
Decisive in killing, cruel and ruthless at heart.
He Jia was a man of few words, never involved himself in court politics, but he would kill all the eunuch officials who caused chaos in the governnt.
However, Princess Yongning and the King of Yan were siblings born of the sa mother, inherently carrying the violent blood of the Xiang Imperial Family in their veins.
She was ant to be this kind of person.
It was just that in her previous life, she was frail and sickly, keeping a low profile, and even he had overlooked how rciless and heartless she could be with her enemies.
“Whatever you want to do, go ahead and do it,” Xie Linyuan said with a faint smile, “No matter what, your Senior Brother will stand behind you.”
“Mhm,” Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, “I will first accompany Qinqin and Wenli in attending the elimination competition this afternoon. Even with Yunjing University stepping in, I’m still afraid that the Lin Family isn’t giving up.”
Most importantly, she had far too little effective information about Lin Shiyuan in her hands.
Without having t Lin Shiyuan, they had already crossed paths in conflict.
It could be said that none of the five great successors of Yunjing bore empty titles.
However, which of these five great successors was a friend or foe, she still needed to observe further.
“I’ll also take a look at this so-called physics competition of yours,” Xie Linyuan raised an eyebrow, “Things from three hundred years later dazzle , but I’m actually very interested. If you have ti, teach more.”
He had a private desire as well.
He was waiting for the day in the future when he could reunite with Lin Fanyin.
At that ti, he could be Lin Fanyin’s guide to modern society.
**
At this very mont, at the Yunjing Lin Family.
“Miss, it’s absolutely true!” The young man knelt on the ground, “I didn’t even see the person before I was knocked down by a gust of wind, along with many branches. That Lin Qin was also whisked away by the wind!”
But the Lin Family kept strict confidentiality, and ordinary people couldn’t even find where the Lin Family was located.
Not to ntion, protected by layers of the Elders Council and several guard teams, and presided over by the Supre Elder whose mastery of Inner Strength was already perfected.
Just who could silently infiltrate the Lin Family without alerting anyone and take Lin Qin away?
The young man hurriedly said, “Miss, you must believe !”
“I don’t disbelieve you,” Lin Shiyuan stood up, “Let’s go and see.”
The young man got up and led Lin Shiyuan to the secret chamber.
The door of the secret chamber was still lying on the ground, along with the scattered branches.
“Miss, you see, it’s—” The young man wanted to step forward but was stopped by Lin Shiyuan with a hand.
“Don’t move!”
The young man instantly fell silent, standing still not daring to move.
Lin Shiyuan with hands behind her back, asked indifferently, “Have you figured out anything profound about the trajectory of these branches?”
The young man stared at the ssy branches on the ground, opened his mouth, and said with sha, “Sorry, Miss, I couldn’t discern anything.”
“This person’s weapon is a sword, and they have an extrely high level of accomplishnt in swordsmanship, saying they’ve reached the pinnacle isn’t an exaggeration,” Lin Shiyuan said, “Tell , which sect or power in history used swords?”
The young man’s expression shifted, stuttering, “Only… Only the Sword Saint had such a school, I’ve seen records in the family archives saying there were sects that also used swords, but none that could reach the pinnacle of perfection.”
“Mhm, correct,” Lin Shiyuan said with an unfazed deanor, “But the Successor of the Sword Saint does not exist, so what else could it be?”
At this, she slightly furrowed her brow.
In the past few months, too many things had happened in Yunjing that even she could not completely see through.
Indeed, the best explanation for the current situation would be the Sword Saint having co back to life and taking Lin Qin with him.
But there was one impossibility and one doubt with this.
The impossible was that the Sword Saint had been dead for three hundred years, leaving behind only a sword.
The doubt was that Lin Qin had no connection to the Sword Saint, so why would the Sword Saint intervene to save soone?
Logically, it simply didn’t make sense.
So what exactly is the truth?
Lin Shiyuan pressed her temples and breathed out slowly, “I’ll give you one more day to bring back the Secluded Zither.”
“Thank you, miss, for giving another chance; I will definitely accomplish this task!” The young man knelt on one knee. “There is a competition at Jiangcheng No.1 Middle School today, I will go and watch the scene.”
Lin Shiyuan turned around, her voice cold and indifferent, “If you cause any more trouble and alarm others, even if you don’t die, I will kill you.”
Hearing these words, the young man couldn’t help but shiver and lowered his head, “Yes, miss.”
**
In the afternoon, at Yunjing University, at the scene of the final round of the physics competition.
Ye Wanlan sat on a chair, examining the injury on Lin Qin’s leg, “Don’t exert any force on your leg these days. Apply the ointnt twice a day and it will heal quickly. Does it hurt?”
Lin Qin shook her head and said softly, “It doesn’t hurt.”
On the contrary, she was burning with a fierce will to fight.
From now on, she would put in more effort than before, making Lin Shiyuan think twice before moving against her.
“You are still young. If it hurts, just say it. Don’t bear with it.” Ye Wanlan applied another plaster to Lin Qin, “No one will bla you.”
Xie Linyuan found this quite amusing.
While his Little Junior Sister was not that much older, the way she spoke made her sound like an elderly person hundreds of years old.
“I know, Cousin,” Lin Qin said with a smile. “Cousin and I will surely win this competition. After it ends, I still need to continue practicing the Heavenly Music thod.”
“Good,” Ye Wanlan patted her head. “Go on.”
She left the preparation room and headed towards the audience seats.
Her dormitory roommate was curious. “Qinqin, how old is your cousin?”
Lin Qin thought for a mont. “She is two months older than .”
“Ah?” The roommate’s eyes widened. “I thought she was much older. Your cousin seems very mature and also gives a sense of security.”
Lin Qin nodded. “That’s the real cousin.”
“Let’s go; it’s our turn to perform.” Lin Wenli closed his book and walked to Lin Qin’s side. “I’ll push you there.”
When Lin Qin was pushed to the competition stage in a wheelchair, the audience did not show much surprise.
After all, the physics competition was about intellect, not physical strength.
And Lin Qin, despite being severely frightened this morning, did not make frequent mistakes but answered questions on the blackboard in an orderly manner, causing quite a bit of applause.
Xie Linyuan’s eyebrows raised. “Little Junior Sister, your cousin has a good temperant, strong resilience. She should have started practicing martial arts long ago.”
“A blessing in disguise,” Ye Wanlan smiled lightly. “I have always believed in that saying.”
People grow after experiencing hardships, but it’s not the hardships themselves they should be thankful for—it’s the fact that they have overco them.
Ye Wanlan’s ears twitched slightly. “Big Senior Brother, I’ll step out for a mont.”
She carried her zither case and left the competition venue through a side door unhurriedly.
At the mont, the sun was shining brightly, and the air still carried a hint of heat.
Ye Wanlan walked straight out of Yunjing University’s gate and entered the alleys.
This scene was entirely witnessed by the young man and several guards of the Lin Family.
The Secluded Zither!
Could it be that the intelligence was wrong and the Secluded Zither was not in Lin Qin’s hands but with Ye Wanlan?
But the informant had reported that Lin Qin entered Yunjing with the Secluded Zither, what was that about?
The young man was a bit uncertain.
Could it be that Lin Qin had given the Secluded Zither to Ye Wanlan?
How could that be possible?
Even the main family’s children quarreled over resources; he would not believe the branch family would be so harmonious.
He had seen siblings of the branch family fight to the death to return to the main house, how much more for Ye Wanlan and Lin Qin who were just maternal cousins?
But that was not the key point. Importantly, he had to bring the Secluded Zither back to the Lin Family by the end of the day.
A fierce intent to kill surged in the young man’s eyes as he gripped the weapon in his hand.
He had confird that he did not feel any trace of inner strength fluctuations coming from Ye Wanlan.
Thus, no matter whether Ye Wanlan could perform the Heavenly Music thod or not, if she were approached, she would only have one path—death.
Lin Shiyuan had also ntioned Ye Wanlan multiple tis. If he could kill her this ti, it would also eliminate a worry for Lin Shiyuan.
The youth held his breath, wrapped himself with inner strength, and moved swiftly forward.
Ten ters, nine ters, eight ters… five ters, four ters—
“Here it cos.” Ye Wanlan suddenly stopped and spoke indifferently, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long ti.”
She turned around, and at the sa mont, her fingers touched the strings.
“Zeng!”
In an instant, the sound of the zither echoed loudly.
