Chapter 235: 235 Master of Highest Heaven Tower’s handwriting! Official announcement [1 more update]
Master of Highest Heaven Tower.
The two characters were written with a flourish, majestic and profound, deeply etched into the wood, which indicated that the person who had written them was a martial arts expert with extremely profound inner strength.
Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed slightly.
She could not be mistaken about this handwriting—it belonged to the Master of Highest Heaven Tower.
Although she had never met the Master of Highest Heaven Tower in person, they had communicated through letters.
To say they had corresponded was more like the Imperial Court was negotiating with the Martial World.
The Master of Highest Heaven Tower’s characters carried an inherent murderous intent; when she had opened his letters, she could feel a palpable aura of blood and might coming forth from the page.
Ye Wanlan reached out and touched the two characters, her gaze falling on the surroundings as she scanned the area.
A very hidden spot.
In just an instant, Ye Wanlan deduced that these two characters had remained undiscovered for three hundred years.
If the characters had been found, this stone would have been sent directly to a museum for exhibition, or a special scenic spot would have been set up right here for public viewing.
How, then, did Yan Tingfeng manage to find this exact place so accurately?
"I was looking at the stone," Yan Tingfeng replied with a slight tilt of his head, "when I unexpectedly found two characters. If I’m not mistaken, they were carved by the Master of Highest Heaven Tower."
As he said this, his attractive phoenix eyes showed a hint of perplexity, coupled with just the right amount of surprise and astonishment, as if there were no loopholes in his statement.
Ye Wanlan and he maintained a calm eye contact for about a dozen seconds.
"Xiao Wan, is there a problem?" Yan Tingfeng blinked gently, "You see the handwriting of these two characters, isn’t it the same as recorded in the history books?"
He even pulled up a picture of a letter on his phone.
It was a reply from the Master of Highest Heaven Tower to the Imperial Court, also one of the few well-preserved examples of his handwriting.
"It is the same," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "I’m just wondering why the Master of Highest Heaven Tower would carve these two characters here."
Could it really be that the Master of Highest Heaven Tower had preserved Yongning Palace in its entirety?
She couldn’t believe in the plot of a fan fiction; could it be real?
What role did the Master of Highest Heaven Tower play in that devastating battle, which caused innumerable casualties and nearly led to the downfall of Shenzhou?
Ye Wanlan stood up: "We should still inform the museum’s administration about this stone’s discovery."
Yan Tingfeng furrowed his brow slightly, his voice soft, "I think, since it was carved here, it indicates that the Master of Highest Heaven Tower did not wish for outsiders to discover it."
This was where the Heavenly Moat Formation’s focal point used to be.
He was the focal point, with all the power of Penglai and Beiming sects infused within him, in addition to the energy of heaven and earth. At that time, he couldn’t move and his body was in great pain.
To distract himself, he carved the words "Highest Heaven" here.
With that, Yongning Palace had its "Highest Heaven," which somewhat fulfilled his regret of never meeting Princess Yongning.
Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed again, and after a few seconds, she spoke unhurriedly, "It seems you know him quite well."
"I wouldn’t say I understand him, but I made a judgment based on the current situation and some historical records," Yan Tingfeng coughed slightly and cracked a small smile, "Historical texts say the Master of Highest Heaven Tower never shows his true face, and since he left his mark in such a secluded place, he presumably did not want others to find it either."
Ye Wanlan pondered, "That makes some sense."
"Since no one has discovered it for so long, it means it’s not yet time for it to be known," Yan Tingfeng turned, "When the right moment comes, naturally, someone else will find it. Xiao Wan, let’s go."
Ye Wanlan’s gaze lingered on the "Highest Heaven" characters.
The Qingyun Pendant exclaimed, "Wow, Her Royal Highness the Princess, do you think the Master of Highest Heaven Tower might be secretly in love with you? He braved great dangers to sneak into Fengyuan City, only to leave his name on the most hidden stone in your palace. If this isn’t love, what is it?!"
Ye Wanlan raised her hand and pressed her brow.
She deeply suspected that when the Qingyun Pendant was buried under Yan Mountain, some archaeology team there must have read far too many novels out of sheer boredom.
"This is love! And it’s a subtle yet magnificent love!" the Qingyun Pendant became immersed in its own emotions, "Although I admire Lord Prince Yan and think he’s the most handsome man in the world, Lord Prince Yan is Her Royal Highness’s brother. If there truly is someone in this world who is worthy of Her Royal Highness, it must be the Master of Highest Heaven Tower!"
Only the strongest person in Jianghu could stand by their princess’s side.
"Your Royal Highness, isn’t the Master of Highest Heaven Tower better than that frail-looking pretty boy we just saw?" the Qingyun Pendant continued, "Ah, what a pity!"
Ye Wanlan did not want to listen to the Qingyun Pendant’s nonsense and interrupted, "I have yet to meet the Master of Highest Heaven Tower in person."
"True, but after Her Royal Highness left, the Master of Highest Heaven Tower has been coming here to pay homage every month," the Qingyun Pendant muttered, "He’s so enigmatic that even I don’t know what he looks like."
Ye Wanlan’s expression changed slightly, "He has been coming to pay homage every month?"
"Yes," said the Qingyun Pendant, "Lord Prince Yan is well aware of when he is going to come and hasn’t tried to stop him."
Ye Wanlan’s expression was inscrutable.
In Jianghu, the Master of Highest Heaven Tower was indeed a legend, with rumors suggesting that even the nine leaders of the Highest Heaven Tower did not know his true face.
Some said that the Master of Highest Heaven Tower had been poisoned in his youth, the toxin destroying his face and leaving him too hideous to be seen.
Others claimed that the Master of Highest Heaven Tower was actually an old man who practiced nefarious Demon Sect cultivation techniques, maintaining his youthful appearance only by consuming others’ cultivation strength.
Opinions were varied, but none arrived at a definitive conclusion.
However, she did manage to ask a few questions to the past Sword Saint, Xie Leyou. Xie Leyou mentioned that the appearance of the Master of Highest Heaven Tower in his youth was breathtakingly androgynous, possessing beauty that left gender indistinguishable. freёnovelkiss.com
Not revealing his true face was likely a measure to avoid unnecessary trouble.
She naturally felt curious and admiration for the Master of Highest Heaven Tower.
A sixteen-year-old Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, unprecedented and likely unrivaled in the future.
But the fact that the Master of Highest Heaven Tower would regularly visit her grave after she passed away touched her heart slightly.
"Xiao Wan?" Yan Tingfeng turned around to see Ye Wanlan still standing in the same spot and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Discovered something new?"
Ye Wanlan came back to her senses, shaking her head: "No, I’m coming."
Outside, Rong Yu and Huo Yungui were still arguing like schoolchildren.
The group tacitly left the place, and by the time they finished paying their respects at Yongning Palace, it was already noon.
Yan Tingfeng had booked a restaurant, and coincidentally, Professor Xue had also just arrived from the airport.
"Hey, Wanlan!" Professor Xue rushed over excitedly, "It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, I felt like each day without you was an eternity!"
Rong Yu rolled his eyes: "You saw her last month."
Ignoring Rong Yu, Professor Xue began rummaging through his pockets: "Wanlan, this time I personally requested a set of archaeological tools for you, customized just for you. Look, it even has your name on it!"
He took out a small shovel to show off to the others.
"Thanks, Professor," said Ye Wanlan. "I really like it, it’s just the color..."
"This color is bright and beautiful!" Professor Xue gesticulated with excitement, "Golden, both good-looking and classy."
Rong Yu muttered: "It’s obviously tacky!"
"You keep your mouth shut!" Professor Xue retorted angrily, "I may be old, but my ears are just fine. Don’t think I can’t hear you!"
Yan Tingfeng spoke up: "Xiao Wan."
Before Ye Wanlan could respond, Professor Xue suddenly raised his eyebrows in objection: "What are you calling our Wanlan? Say it again!"
What earth-shattering event had happened in his absence?!
Yan Tingfeng coughed twice, unflinchingly repeating, "Xiao Wan, I’m feeling some pain in my chest, could you check my pulse for me?"
Ye Wanlan: "Hand."
Yan Tingfeng obediently and meekly extended his hand: "It’s a throbbing pain, and I’ve had some difficulty breathing just now."
Professor Xue: "???"
How did he suddenly have breathing difficulties in the blink of an eye?
Was his health deteriorating?
"Ah, Professor, they say that old ginger is spicier, but clearly you’re too sincere," Rong Yu shook his head with his hands behind his back, "How could you outplay the Black Hearted Lotus?"
With his keen insight, he saw right through Yan Tingfeng’s act.
Yet Ye Wanlan didn’t expose him and even indulged him!
A tinge of envy and resentment rose in Rong Yu, and he decided to vent his negative mood through food.
In the afternoon, "Treasures of The Divine Land" broadcast program officially announced the cast and recording location.
[@TreasuresOfTheDivineLandOfficialWeiboV: Millennia-old Fengyuan welcomes Shenzhou! "Treasures of The Divine Land" is about to begin recording. We won’t meet until you arrive!]
Following that, the program’s official Weibo released the names of the seven regular guests.
Two veteran thespians, both laden with Best Actor and Actress awards – the seasoned actor Shen Yeqiu and the esteemed actress Xu Qingyu.
Two rising stars with tens of millions of Weibo followers – the young actor Qi Yunzhao and the popular actress Huo Ximian.
Although the names of the other two guests weren’t household, they both held the title of Academician.
[With my brother on it, I’m definitely following this program!]
[Aah, there’s Mianmian! Mianmian is from the Huo Family, the successors of the Divine Strategy Army. If there’s an episode with relics from the Divine Strategy Army, it’s practically tailor-made for Mianmian!]
[I haven’t seen a show with such a strong lineup before, two veteran thespians plus two top stars – it’s bound to be a hit!]
[Um, although the lineup is great, I have to say that the success of the show doesn’t depend on the lineup. "Treasures of The Divine Land" has been three years in the making, with the support of Yunjing University, Yunjing Museum, and the Cultural Relics Bureau Archaeology Center – it would be a success with any cast.]
[So looking forward to it, I hope they air it as soon as it’s done recording!]
The netizens’ attention was concentrated on the first six guests, expressing their excitement to follow the program.
Only the final official Weibo announcement didn’t have a photo, just a silhouette.
[Who is Ye Wanlan? What does she do? Can someone tell me, how does she fit in with the other six names?]
