Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

Many doubts were resolved after Tan Jingmo confirmed Ye Wanlan's true identity.

At that time, he was pondering over why Ye Wanlan, the third miss of the Ye Family from the Free Continent, was so attentive to Emperor Yin, given the disharmony between the Free Continent and the Da Xia Empire?

If these two were indeed companions, then everything makes sense.

One is the youngest emperor in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, who expanded its territory to the largest.

The other is the only female Crown Prince to enter the East Palace of the Ning Dynasty, leaving behind a hundred-year legacy after her death.

Not only were the two companions, but they both died early in their first lives.

Tan Jingmo raised his hand and rubbed his brow.

No matter how meticulously calculated, it's still no match for divine calculation.

Given Ye Wanlan's admiration for Emperor Yin, it seems this brother-in-law might indeed win her heart.

Tan Jingmo's gaze was profound.

He had received the mission to go to Earth No. 9 and bring Ye Wanlan first, originally planning to seize the opportunity early. Yet, he became the first to be beaten by Ye Wanlan, and his plan to witness Emperor Yin being beaten also fell through.

This trip was an absolute disaster for him.

"Wow!" Lu Qingning's eyes sparkled, "So, Sister Lan is the Empress? I knew she was definitely hiding her true abilities!"

From the time she met Ye Wanlan, she felt that Ye Wanlan was not like her other peers, exhibiting maturity and steady demeanor beyond her age.

Which is precisely why Ye Wanlan is the absolute stabilizing force in the Eternal Four-member Group.

Yan Tingfeng smiled gently: "Xiao Wan is certainly remarkable."

"Wait, don't try to muddle through!" Lu Qingning slammed the table, ferocious, "Sister Lan is the Empress, she can obviously have a harem, isn't it your possessiveness that's too strong?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Tingfeng raised an eyebrow and leisurely responded with a 'Hmm'.

"I knew it! What you're doing isn't right!" Lu Qingning strongly emphasized, "And you haven't even mentioned what your identity is!"

Tan Jingmo was also curious, he looked at Yan Tingfeng: "May I ask where Brother Yan is now employed?"

It's very rare to find someone Ye Wanlan admires, and they are all at the pinnacle of the pyramid, very few indeed.

Tan Jingmo didn't believe that just with a face, Yan Tingfeng could become Ye Wanlan's unique companion.

"Me?" Yan Tingfeng said lightly, "I didn't have a name back then, but they used to call me Alliance Hierarch."

He didn't need a name; his martial prowess was enough to travel through the world unchallenged.

Those who disobey, simply kill them.

Those were years three hundred years ago, filled with slaughter and hatred yet extremely simple.

"Alliance Hierarch?" Reminded of Shenzhou's situation, Lu Qingning was taken aback, "Supreme Martial Arts Master?!"

Yan Tingfeng nodded with a smile.

"No wonder." Tan Jingmo realized, he laughed, "One of you resides in the temple, the other traverses the Jianghu, truly—"

Lu Qingning glared at him.

Tan Jingmo paused for a moment and changed his words: "Truly considered enemies."

Lu Qingning satisfiedly touched his head, she continued to question Yan Tingfeng: "If you follow Sister Lan, does that mean you won't want your title as Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch anymore? You'll be scolded by the Jianghu people!"

"Oh?" Yan Tingfeng responded lightly, "Will they dare? If they dare, I'll just kill them all."

Lu Qingning: "..."

Tan Jingmo: "..."

Suddenly Lu Qingning remembered the time when Ye Wanlan, together with her, Si Fqing, and Yu Hui Xue took on a mission—the first full-team operation of the Eternal Four-member Group.

While Si Fqing and Yu Hui Xue were scouting ahead, she asked Ye Wanlan what should happen if they encountered the major boss in the lethal area?

Ye Wanlan too responded in that same nonchalant tone: "Just kill them all."

Lu Qingning suddenly had an epiphany.

In a certain sense, Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng are similar types.

"Alright, considering you cook well and can take care of Sister Lan, I'll temporarily agree to you." Lu Qingning snorted, "But I'm just the vanguard, easy to deal with; when Qingqing comes, you'll be done for!"

Yan Tingfeng fell silent.

Indeed, he was worried about this matter.

In Ye Wanlan's heart, Si Fqing's place was very high; she cared deeply for her sister.

Having managed to get past Yan Wang He Jia, if he couldn't overcome the hurdle with Si Fqing...

Thinking about it, Yan Tingfeng raised his head and smiled at Lu Qingning.

"Why are you smiling at me like that, it's no use." Lu Qingning was very vigilant, "What Qingqing decides, only Sister Lan can persuade her; moreover, Qingqing loves fighting, so you should be prepared."

"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Miss Lu." Yan Tingfeng smiled deeper, "Then Miss Lu, could you please tell me about Miss Si's preferences?"

Tan Jingmo raised an eyebrow: "Little Nine's likes are unpredictable, even we cannot fathom his temperament, ultimately it's up to you, Brother Yan."

"No worries." Yan Tingfeng said softly, "Whatever the two of you know, tell me anything, even just a tidbit."

"Alright then, considering how pitiful you look, I'll help you out." Lu Qingning was very magnanimous.

Yan Tingfeng paused: "Pitiful?"

"Because it's not just Qingqing, oh, there's also our teacher, Dean Dongfang of Eternal Academy." Lu Qingning counted on her fingers, "And then there's the Ye family folk, so yes, you are rather pitiful."

Yan Tingfeng sighed: "Thank you for reminding me, Miss Lu."

Before facing the battle, he must prepare well.

Meanwhile, at the Ancient Martial World's training grounds.

Ying Zijin established a small space here to allow Ancient Martial Artists to train and enhance their practical fighting skills.

Ye Wanlan was slowly walking deeper into the site.

Releasing her killing intention, her inner peace gradually returned.

With her abilities, how could she not tell that Tan Jingmo was deliberately withholding the identity?

If it was someone she knew...

Ye Wanlan furrowed her brows.

Who on earth is this person?

Ye Wanlan slowly exhaled.

No matter who it is, they're doomed.

Someone dared to abduct her sister; she would make this person understand the meaning of "death."

Ye Wanlan continued walking inward.

As she ventured further, the pressure increased, indeed an excellent place for trial.

Just then, she heard another breathing sound.

"Yeah, you, precisely you." At the same time a voice echoed, "I see, you have quite a bit of skill on this path, now, come spar with me."

Ye Wanlan turned her head, seeing a very young face.

Although she had just arrived at the Ancient Martial World, Ye Wanlan understood that Ancient Martial Artists refine their Qi into Inner Strength to enhance physical limits and gain greater power.

This cultivation system was brought to the Earth's technology world by Ying Zijin from the Spirit Cultivation World and had been improved, allowing humans to train here.

Ancient Martial on Earth No. 22 is equivalent to Martial Arts on Earth No. 723.

No matter whether the worlds are alike, in the vast universe, cultivation systems can generally be categorized into two broad types—

One is self-cultivation, the other borrows power from Heaven and Earth.

The youth's aura fluctuations weren't unsatisfactory, standing out among his peers.

Ye Wanlan indeed enjoyed fighting, but at her current age, bullying a young fellow seemed not very honorable.

"What's with your look? It's an honor for you to be my opponent." The young man gave a cold laugh, "Want to keep moving forward? Fine, beat me first, then I'll let you pass; otherwise, you'll have to turn back."

As Xiu Yu brought in two bottles of water, she heard Jiang Ran say those words and fell into deep thought.

She couldn't help but feel how familiar those words sounded.
