Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

Yan Tingfeng did not even lift his eyes, still sitting quietly on the chair.

He raised an eyebrow, "I'm not used to such low-quality wine."

"Oh?" The Sky Tower Master smiled unchanged, "I almost forgot, the Tower Master is skilled in winemaking, so this ordinary wine indeed doesn't catch your eye."

Christine, Yeh Xingli, Estelle, and others were also present, not uttering a word, all very vigilant.

"Since the Tower Master is here, why hasn't the Princess arrived yet?" The Sky Tower Master asked casually, "It's said that when Princess Yongning and the Master of Highest Heaven Tower are apart, they each rule the temple and Jianghu; together, Shenzhou is invincible, unmatched in the world. I also want to witness the charisma of you two."

He then shifted the topic, "Or perhaps, the Tower Master is responsible for the actions on the surface, while the Princess works in the shadows, ready to deliver a powerful blow at a critical moment?"

With this remark, the expressions of the seven Angels became alert.

Someone like Princess Yongning, her martial prowess is not the most fearsome.

Her intellect, strategy, and layout...are the deadliest weapons.

Historically, she once faced fifty thousand enemies with a thousand people and still captured the city.

"The Tower Master worries too much." A voice quietly sounded, "I haven't come yet because there are people more important than you, matters more significant than you."

"Swoosh——"

The wind moved, shadows fell.

Ye Wanlan stood facing the wind, clad in white, unparalleled.

She specifically changed into apparel from the Ning Dynasty Period, men's clothing she once wore when traveling incognito.

Her long hair was tied up, a unique elegance without equal.

After her appearance, the seven Angels became even more vigilant.

Yet Ye Wanlan seemed totally oblivious to them, sitting directly next to Yan Tingfeng.

"Oh?" The Sky Tower Master smiled cynically, "I wonder who or what is more important than me?"

Ye Wanlan chuckled, "Everything and everyone is more important than you."

The Sky Tower Master ceased smiling, "With the Princess's attitude, it seems our negotiation today will fall apart before it even starts."

"You haven't mentioned what to discuss; how would I know if it will fall apart?" Ye Wanlan's expression was calm, "Why not tell me first?"

"With the Princess's wisdom, surely you know what I want to discuss." The Sky Tower Master looked coldly, "I want Shenzhou to disappear from Earth 723."

"!!!"

With one sentence, the atmosphere reached its peak of tension.

Ye Wanlan did not show any signs of anger and remained composed and indifferent.

She nodded slightly, "Indeed, the negotiation will fall apart, for I, want to preserve Shenzhou."

"That is indeed regrettable." The Sky Tower Master sighed, "I admire the Princess; I originally intended to invite you to work under my command."

"Sky Tower Master, no, perhaps I shouldn't call you that," Ye Wanlan slowly stood up, "You've lived too long, long enough to have witnessed over three centuries of our Ning Dynasty history. You've seen the Grand Ancestor, my grandfather, and my great-grandfather."

The Sky Tower Master's expression remained unchanged, still appearing confident, "I've even seen you, Princess Yongning; you looked so disheveled when you returned to the palace."

"Of course you've seen me." Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "After all, to infiltrate deeper and control more secrets, you became an official in 1702, and due to your capabilities, you soon rose to a First-Grade Official."

With this, everyone around the round table changed their expressions.

What does a First-Grade Official signify?

In the Ning Dynasty, First-Grade official positions could be counted with two hands.

Prime Minister, Imperial Tutor, Three Ministers, Left and Right Supervisors, Great General, Grand Scholar...

To attain a First-Grade Official position required extraordinary ability.

Which one of these positions was the Sky Tower Master?

The Sky Tower Master's expression finally altered slightly, "How could you know this? You shouldn't know this!"

Indeed, what Ye Wanlan said was the truth.

Yet this identity he had concealed well, even his Angels were clueless.

Ye Wanlan remained unmoved, her eyes lightly lifted, "I am also surprised. I didn't expect we would meet again, it's been three hundred years, truly a long time ago."

She looked directly into the Sky Tower Master's eyes, finally calling out the title from three hundred years ago, "Grand Tutor."
