Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

Chapter 657 Return to Shenzhou, Huo Family’s Shocking Change! [1st Update]

Chapter 657: 657 Return to Shenzhou, Huo Family’s Shocking Change! [1st Update]This is Darian’s first visit to the Southern Ming Principality.

Were it not for Ye Wanlan being here, he might never have thought to set foot in the Southern Ming Principality in his lifetime.

Darian Stewart graduated from Shenzhou University, speaks fluent Chinese, and is deeply passionate about Shenzhou culture.

After joining the World Cultural Heritage Center, he has also been dedicating himself tirelessly to the protection of Shenzhou culture.

However, among the tens of thousands of people at the World Cultural Heritage Center, he mostly engages in re

"When Mr. Stewart referred to Wanlan as a young lady, why did I feel it was so odd?" Professor Xue muttered, "Yet Wanlan is indeed a young lady, there’s nothing wrong with that..."

Yan Tingfeng smiled meaningfully: "Perhaps he has his own concerns."

The news of Ye Wanlan bringing the Mingyue Token back to Shenzhou spread within two days.

[My goodness, she actually took the Mingyue Token back from those bandit thieves of the Southern Ming Principality? The Southern Ming Principality didn’t forcibly detain her?]

[It’s said Ye Wanlan personally protected the Mingyue Token during the earthquake, preventing Minister Shen’s relic from being once again buried.]

[Critics speak! Now that Ye Wanlan has brought back the Mingyue Token, are you still going to continue your criticisms?]

[I have never met Ye Wanlan, all my impressions of her come from various news online, but I know she must truly love history and continually dedicate herself to it.]

[Some truly make audacious remarks, but if it were you, would you dare confront those from the Southern Ming Principality and bring back the Shenzhou treasure?]

[As an aside, has anyone seen Ye Wanlan at Yunjing University? What courses has she chosen? I want to attend her classes!]

...

Because the Mingyue Token contained Shen Mingshu’s spirit, Ye Wanlan decided to keep the Mingyue Token by her side.

Since she successfully brought it back, the Director of the Cultural Relics Bureau had no objections.

At this moment, within the Rong Family.

Today, all four members of Rong Jingqiu’s family are present, their expressions particularly solemn.

Even Rong Yu, usually carefree and unserious, sat quietly at his seat, worried.

Ye Wanlan glanced around: "What’s wrong?"

"Brother Yan, Miss Ye." Rong Qi raised his head, "Though you’ve only been away for two days, something major has indeed happened in Yunjing."

Ye Wanlan sat down, "I’m listening."

Rong Qi spoke deliberately: "Huo Yunling announced externally that during his cultivation at Cold Hidden Temple, he had an epiphany, deciding not to enter monkhood, but instead returning to the Huo Family."

"That’s not the most important part." Yan Tingfeng said calmly, "Continue."

"After shedding his kasaya and returning to the Huo Family, he proposed a request to the Huo Family Elders Group—" Rong Qi paused, then continued, "He wants to fairly compete with Yunyi for the next position of Family Head."

"!"

Bing He and Tie Ma exchanged glances, finding it somewhat unbelievable: "Has he gone mad?"

The Huo Family, being direct descendants of the Divine Strategy Army, are inheritors and promoters of top martial arts; such major families never lack competition.

Moreover, once the fight erupts, casualties are inevitable.

By the time Huo Yunyi’s generation arrived, the reduction in conflict wasn’t due to a lack of aggression among Huo Family disciples but because Huo Yunyi’s strength was so formidable, he could intimidate peers from the same generation.

Huo Yunling chose the monastic life years prior, leaving little time for practicing the Divine Strategy Spear Technique; how could he fairly compete with Huo Yunyi?

Furthermore, Huo Yunyi is a martial arts fanatic, frequently challenging himself to improve his cultivation in various uninhabited areas.

No one ever imagined that Huo Yunling would one day vie with Huo Yunyi for the position of Family Head.

Could it be due to a shift at the Su Family?

"Because he comprehended the Divine Strategy Spear Technique’s Eighth Layer." Rong Qi continued, "The Huo Family Elders Group didn’t believe him until he demonstrated the technique."

Ye Wanlan raised her brows, seeming not a bit surprised; she slightly raised her chin and smiled: "That’s still not the most important part, continue."

Rong Qi: "..."

In certain regards, Miss Ye and Tower Master are indeed quite alike.

He could assert he hadn’t revealed any information, but these two somehow discerned he hadn’t finished speaking.

"Let me continue with what happened next." Rong Jingqiu shook his head, "He also made a request to the Lin Family—cough, he requested the Lin Family to betroth Wanlan to him, and soon, he will proceed to the Lin Family with a marriage proposal."
