Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

Cesar's hands trembled as he nudged Norton's waist with his elbow: "You bastard, do you feel it?"

Norton calmly took off his coat and draped it over Sinai before speaking with a composed expression: "Yes."

Not only the two of them but everyone felt this invisible killing intent enveloping their hearts, the atmosphere instantly froze!

If Tan Jingmo hadn't spoken up, Ye Wanlan indeed never would have thought of this matter.

She didn't know how long she had been away from Earth No. 9, but it shouldn't be many years.

To her, Si Fqing was still young.

Who would be such a beast as to specifically kidnap a little girl?

Ye Wanlan took a few deep breaths, barely restraining her inner urge to kill.

She looked at Tan Jingmo, uttering two simple words: "Speak."

Tan Jingmo suddenly regretted bringing this up so early, but there was no turning back now: "This person, Wanlan, you should know."

"I know?" Ye Wanlan's eyes narrowed suddenly, her intent to kill increasing, "Which one from your sect?"

"Sister Lan, it surely can't be someone from Mo Mo's sect." Lu Qingning coughed twice, "As they say, even rabbits don't eat the grass near their nest."

Ye Wanlan closed her eyes, her mind quickly going through everyone she knew on Earth No. 9.

Eventually confirming, there wasn't a single person who could kidnap Si Fqing.

Good.

She was going to kill someone.

"He, ah, will probably arrive before Little Nine." Tan Jingmo stepped back, smiling meaningfully, "By then, Wanlan, you'll be able to see him for yourself. No amount of words can compare to seeing with your own eyes."

Lu Qingning poked Tan Jingmo's hand, lowering her voice: "You set him up like this, if Little Nine finds out, he'll definitely beat you up."

Tan Jingmo spoke nonchalantly: "Doesn't matter, as long as he also gets beaten up by Wanlan, I won't suffer a loss."

Lu Qingning stroked her chin in realization: "Could it be because you can't beat him? And are still holding a grudge to this day?"

Tan Jingmo smiled: "As a senior brother, I overlook such things."

"Mo Mo, don't force a smile, I know!" Lu Qingning tiptoed to pat his head, "Even the boss can't beat him, how could you, who is second in command?"

Tan Jingmo: "…"

Indeed.

So this arduous task could only be entrusted to Ye Wanlan.

He believed that Senior Brother Yun Ying would also be pleased to see it happen.

Ye Wanlan slowly raised her head, looking at Tan Jingmo again: "Tan Jingmo, let's have a fight."

Tan Jingmo: "?"

"Tan Jingmo, you as Xiaoqing's senior brother, haven't properly fulfilled your duties as a senior brother." Ye Wanlan slowly stood up, "I must properly teach you what brotherhood responsibility is."

Tan Jingmo never expected this issue to suddenly land on his shoulders: "Shouldn't the boss and the third brother be held accountable first for this?"

But in fact, among Si Fqing's nine siblings, he was indeed the only one familiar with Ye Wanlan.

"I only see you now." Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "The others, it's only a matter of time."

Lu Qingning was somewhat sympathetic: "Sister Lan, don't hit the face when you fight, go easy... Mo Mo still relies on his face to make a living."

"Got it." Ye Wanlan smiled as she flexed her wrist, "I'll be very gentle."

Ten minutes later—

Tan Jingmo passed out again.

There were no injuries on his body, and his face was intact.

Diwu Yue hesitantly spoke: "Do we need to seek treatment from an Ancient Doctor in the Ancient Medical World?"

"No need." Ye Wanlan dusted off her clothes, "He'll wake up in thirty minutes."

"Phew—" Lu Qingning also breathed a sigh of relief, pinching Tan Jingmo's face, "Luckily, his face is fine."

Ye Wanlan turned her head, asking Ling Mianxi: "Miss Ling, is there a place here to kill someone?"

"Ah? Ah!" Ling Mianxi looked at her blankly, "There's no place for killing, but there is a place for training where you can release the killing intent. I'll take you there."

"Thank you, Miss Ling." Ye Wanlan expressed her gratitude to her.

Watching her leave, everyone silently felt worried for the 'Little Junior Sister's husband' Tan Jingmo mentioned.

And as Ye Wanlan had said, Tan Jingmo woke up thirty minutes later.

He looked at the sky, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

If he had known this would happen, he would have let Yun Ying come.

Then, it wouldn't have been him getting beaten up.

"Mo Mo!" Lu Qingning brought over a plate of snacks, "Here, Sister Lan said you need to eat more, or you'll be too weak."

Tan Jingmo was speechless, rubbing his temples: "Is there really anyone who can beat her?"

In that case, he kind of looked forward to seeing others getting beaten up by Ye Wanlan.

"Sister Lan was strong to begin with, and now she's even stronger." Lu Qingning comforted him as she watched him finish the snacks, "Don't lose heart, Mo Mo, you're the best-looking in my heart!"

Tan Jingmo gave a helpless smile.

"So now—who is this Ting, how did you and Sister Lan meet?" Lu Qingning still looked at Yan Tingfeng with a rather unfriendly gaze, "How exactly did you bewitch Sister Lan's heart?"

The Ye Wanlan she knew seemed to only focus on her career and never talk of romance.

Yan Tingfeng froze for a moment at her words, then suddenly smiled: "That's a long story. In exchange, shouldn't Miss Lu and Mr. Tan tell me about the things Xiao Wan went through with you?"

"Hmpf." Lu Qingning turned her head, "Let's tell you first, so you'll know how amazing Sister Lan is."

Yan Tingfeng's smile deepened: "I'm eager to hear it."

"I'm about the same age as Sister Lan, and we were both potential heirs of the Four Major Families on the Free Continent, so we played together since childhood." Lu Qingning said, "On the Free Continent, we revere strength, it's fists that talk. Sister Lan became top in her first year at Eternal Academy, and later Xiaoqing enrolled and tied with Sister Lan for first place."

"Hmm, I know." Yan Tingfeng nodded slightly, "Xiao Wan mentioned it before, 'Eternal,' this holographic game popular across the Free Continent, but before she died, she confirmed 'Eternal' wasn't just a game, but a real world."

"Yes, Sister Lan was the first to discover the anomaly." Lu Qingning sighed, "She saved Qingqing, and Qingqing saved our world."

Tan Jingmo suddenly spoke: "Wanlan's ability is extremely strong. If she hadn't left behind a team of Death Soldiers and ordered them to unconditionally support Little Nine after her death, the Ye family would have become an enemy of Little Nine."

The Ye family, being the head of the Four Major Families on the Free Continent, had immense power and resources.

Back then, none of them, including Si Fqing, had anticipated how deep a plan Ye Wanlan had left behind.

Even if she wasn't there, the Ye family had to follow her orders.

"I've always thought Sister Lan seemed to know everything. Turns out, she's not from our world." Lu Qingning propped her chin, "Hurry up and tell us, what was Sister Lan like before?"

"In my world, she was the most brilliant Crown Prince of the Ning Dynasty, a born emperor." Yan Tingfeng said quietly.

Lu Qingning's eyes widened: "My god, no wonder Sister Lan could train such a powerful team of Death Soldiers."

Yan Tingfeng smiled: "She's worth following."

A wise and virtuous ruler gets loyal ministers.

Tan Jingmo fell silent.

He finally understood why Ye Wanlan often praised Emperor Yin to Si Fqing—they were in the same business.

So, would they end up fighting or not?
