Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 241 Legendary Figure Princess Yongning [1 Update]

"..."

The air suddenly fell silent, and the voices of Professor Shen and Professor Li came to an abrupt halt.

With a "swish," both of their gazes converged on Ye Wanlan, their eyes burning with intensity.

They had all listened to Professor Xue recount the entire story of how Ye Wanlan found the Concentricity Pendant. Listening to the tale, one could indeed only attribute it to luck.

However, as experts in the field of archaeology, they naturally knew that in such matters, luck, while important, was not the fundamental reason.

The rarity of the Concentricity Pendant meant it certainly couldn’t just be dug up randomly.

Ye Wanlan must possess an extremely powerful capability to have found the Concentricity Pendant.

Professor Shen did not question Ye Wanlan’s words but followed her thread, asking, "How can we find the other parts of the Sword Saint’s Sword?"

"I need to take a look at the hilt," Ye Wanlan said. "May I know where you professors found the sword hilt?"

Professor Li nodded slightly and said, "The historical records state that Sword Saint Xie Linyuan traveled thousands of miles to defend Fengyuan City, so he must also be buried here. We have been searching for his remains for a long time, who would have thought it would be found at the site of the old Heavenly Sound Sect."

The site of the old Heavenly Sound Sect!

Ye Wanlan’s pupils narrowed slightly.

Indeed, the headquarters of the Heavenly Sound Sect was located in Fengyuan. On the surface, the Heavenly Sound Sect was just a simple music workshop that took in homeless women and taught them life skills.

Women who could harness Inner Strength and had a talent for martial arts would enter the Inner Sect to study the Heavenly Music Method.

The disciples of the Inner Sect also had the responsibility to protect the Outer Sect disciples who had no martial skills.

She had been to the headquarters of the Heavenly Sound Sect, which was underground to the south of Fengyuan City.

Among the Six Great Sects, the Heavenly Sound Sect was extremely unique, composed entirely of women and deeply involved with the Imperial Court, bearing the responsibility of transferring intelligence.

"Although Sword Saint Xie Linyuan’s remains haven’t been found, we did find other clues," said Professor Shen. "We have confirmed that Sword Saint Xie Linyuan and Lin Fanyin, the last Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sound Sect, were close friends. We preliminarily estimate that both of their remains should be in the same location."

"Close friends?" Ye Wanlan’s expression subtly changed as she murmured, "Weren’t they at the point of ’dead do not interact’...?"

In her memory, there had been only three occasions when Xie Linyuan and Lin Fanyin crossed paths.

And a few other times, as soon as Xie Linyuan heard Lin Fanyin was about to appear, he left immediately.

During those three meetings, Lin Fanyin also stood far away, unwilling to spare Xie Linyuan a glance.

There were rumors in Jianghu suggesting that there was a deep-seated enmity between the two, which was why they avoided each other so strictly.

Moreover, during the martial arts conferences, Xie Linyuan and Lin Fanyin never appeared at the same time.

Usually, one would leave, and then the other would show up.

Interestingly, she was on good terms with both parties and had indirectly inquired about the matter with Xie Linyuan and Lin Fanyin.

Unfortunately, at this juncture, both kept to a mutual understanding and remained tight-lipped.

Now, modern historians are saying that Xie Linyuan and Lin Fanyin were close friends?

Professor Shen did not hear her clearly: "Wanlan, what did you just say?"

"It’s nothing," Ye Wanlan snapped back to reality. "Please continue, Professor Shen. I’m listening."

"We preliminarily conclude that by the time Sword Saint Xie Linyuan arrived, it was already too late to save Lin Fanyin, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sound Sect," Professor Shen sighed. "Hence there is a record in the historical texts that he defended Fengyuan City alone with his sword until his death."

Professor Li joked with a smile, "My guess is that those two were not just close friends, but also lovers. But we need more evidence to support that. It’s yet another huge project."

Ye Wanlan listened quietly, and for a very long time, she did not speak.

In her pocket, the Qingyun Pendant muttered, "Impossible, right? When the Sword Saint came to see Lord Prince Yan, he turned and left as soon as he heard the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sound Sect was coming."

"Wanlan, after the recording of the program is finished tomorrow, we’ll take you to the research base," Professor Shen turned and said with a kind gaze. "Elder Xue says you’re like an antique radar. We’d love to see you in action."

Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "I will do my utmost and spare no effort."

"It looks like the guests from both groups have already got to know each other," the director clapped his hands. "I assume the professors have already previewed the content of our first recording. Yes, the first issue recorded is about the tourist attractions of Fengyuan City, starting from Yongning Palace. Please be prepared."

Princess Yongning has always been one of the most legendary historical figures.

Starting the program recording from Yongning Palace would grasp the audience’s attention from the get-go.

After bidding farewell to Professors Shen and Li, Ye Wanlan left the production team with Yan Tingfeng.

"Wait, Miss Ye," Qi Yunzhao ran out. "Miss Ye, don’t take it to heart about Ximian. I’ll find ways to include you more after the live show tomorrow."

Yan Tingfeng glanced at him lightly and said, "Xiao Wan, let’s go."

Xiao Wan?

Hearing this term of endearment, Qi Yunzhao’s eyebrows furrowed.

Why could an assistant use such an intimate nickname?

"Yunzhao, you still have a live broadcast tonight. We need to hurry back and get ready for makeup," the agent called out from behind him. "Hurry up."

Qi Yunzhao came back to his senses, "They’re here."

On this side, Huo Ximian was also walking outside with her assistant.

"Scholastic Group, that sounds nice," Huo Ximian hummed disdainfully, "Does the Scholastic Group need a high school student? Or rather, a student who dropped out for three years and then returned to high school?"

Did the production team think she was a fool?

She watched as the production team intended to hype up Ye Wanlan, even wanting her to act as a foil!

She would absolutely not allow Ye Wanlan’s plans to succeed.

However, if Ye Wanlan’s face appeared in the entertainment industry, it would inevitably cause a sensation, and she was afraid her fans would leave.

"Sister Mian, don’t be angry," the assistant comforted in a low voice, "Even if she has the desire, she wouldn’t dare, right? Could she risk offending both the Huo and Xiang families? Impossible."

"That’s true," Huo Ximian’s mood improved a bit, "Also, go tell Qi Yunzhao to stay away from me, I feel disgusted just seeing him."

The assistant respectfully said, "Understood."

Huo Ximian got into the car and headed back to her residence.

On the way, suddenly, the driver made a sharp brake.

Huo Ximian was caught off guard, her head almost slamming into the seatback, she scolded loudly, "What kind of driving is this? Don’t want to live anymore?!"

"So-sorry, Miss Ximian, I just saw young master Yungui," the driver was very frightened, "He was running fast; I was afraid I would hit him."

Huo Ximian’s expression immediately changed, "Young master Yungui? Why has he come to Fengyuan City? Could it be..."

Could it be that he came specifically to watch her record the show?

However, the driver’s next words shattered her illusion, "Young master Yungui has always adored Princess Yongning. He takes a few days off every month to pay homage to Princess Yongning at Yongning Palace."

Huo Ximian didn’t get angry, but instead smiled and said, "Such a divine figure as Princess Yongning, who wouldn’t admire her."

She was not competing with a dead person.

"Let’s go back then," Huo Ximian waved her hand, "I’m tired."

Huo Yungui had not noticed Huo Ximian’s car at all, but rushed excitedly into the hotel where Ye Wanlan and others were staying.

"Rong Yu!" Huo Yungui planted his hands on his hips, "I came to see you, come out and greet me! I want to battle you for three hundred rounds!"

Rong Yu: "..."

He somewhat regretted why he had argued with this silly kid from the Huo family in Yongning Palace.

What’s more absurd is that this kid from the Huo family was born with incredible strength, so he didn’t dare to lay a hand on him.

"Go away, I don’t have time today," Rong Yu flatly refused, "Go play with people your age, and don’t stay in Fengyuan City."

"What’s happening?" Just then, Ye Wanlan walked in.

"Pretty sister!" Huo Yungui’s eyes lit up, "Pretty sister, will you come back to the Huo family with me? I’ll give you all my money and everything I have!"

"Cough... cough cough cough!" Rong Yu let out an earth-shattering cough, almost coughing out his lungs.

He looked at Huo Yungui in sheer shock.

Where did this silly kid learn to say such things?

"I appreciate the sentiment, but I don’t need it," Ye Wanlan said with a light smile, "Visitors are guests, let’s have dinner together later."

"Great!" Huo Yungui was very happy, "Pretty sister, how did you know I haven’t eaten?"

Rong Yu: "..."

He wanted to refuse, but couldn’t bring himself to say it.

He immediately pulled Yan Tingfeng closer and whispered in a voice audible only to them, "Brother, this is bad, you have a rival in love! Although he’s young, you shouldn’t underestimate him!"

"A rival in love?" Tingfeng heard this term for the first time; he leisurely poured himself a cup of tea, "What are you talking about?"

"Although the kid is only fifteen, the age gap between him and Miss Ye is smaller than between you two, right?" Rong Yu said, "You’re as old as my elder brother this year, and he is already twenty-five!"

He always felt that Yan Tingfeng’s age was a mystery.

Ever since he met Yan Tingfeng, he felt that his appearance had never changed.

Tingfeng gave him a fleeting glance, "I understand."

Rong Yu hummed twice, "You’d better truly understand."

**

The next day, at 7:30 in the morning, Ye Wanlan arrived at the production site.

Today was Monday, when Yongning Palace would be closed all day, which was convenient for the production team to film.

Huo Ximian frowned and sized up Ye Wanlan for a few seconds, "Stay away from me later, if you’re part of the Scholastic Group, don’t steal my camera time. Did you hear me clearly and understand?"
