CHAPTER 1035: CHAPTER 985: SISTER LAN: TWENTY-TWO SAGES?

At this point, Ye Wanlan was very sure.

After all, she had picked up Si Fqing and raised her with her own hands.

While taking care of her, she always led by example, demanding that Si Fqing definitely abide by the law and not act recklessly.

To love this world, always harboring hope and dreams.

Ye Wanlan believed she was a very competent sister, setting a very good example for her younger sibling.

So, for things like murder and arson, she always did them quietly out of Si Fqing’s sight.

After hearing this description, Yan Tingfeng fell silent again.

From his perspective, a good law-abiding citizen wouldn’t often emphasize themselves in this way.

It’s very likely that she was a lawless rogue.

Yan Tingfeng mentally prepared himself and followed Ye Wanlan into the deep blue light and shadow.

With no obstruction, in a moment, the two landed.

"The Earth is quite similar; in our place, it’s Shenzhou, and here it’s the Da Xia Empire," Ye Wanlan said, "But I’ve never been to the Da Xia Empire, I’ve always lived in the Free Continent."

Yan Tingfeng listened with interest, smiling.

He hadn’t been part of her second life, but he wanted to know everything about her.

Perhaps loving someone is to always maintain a strong curiosity and a desire to explore her.

"Hmm..." Ye Wanlan looked up at the unfamiliar buildings in front of her, "It doesn’t seem quite the same as the Free Continent I stayed in before."

She remembered this place should be the Holy Light Judgment Institute.

But in front of her, the words ’Wise Man’s Institute’ were glaringly bright.

Moreover, the building’s age wouldn’t exceed five years at most.

Ye Wanlan had no idea how much time had passed here, with rapid changes, and many things might be different from her memory.

So, she stopped a passerby and inquired about it.

"Free Continent?" The person questioned looked very confused, "There’s no such place, we are here in the World City, only with the Twenty-two Sages, and there’s no Nine Heavens Goddess or Holy Light Judgment Institute you mentioned."

"..."

Hearing the unfamiliar terms "World City" and "Twenty-two," Ye Wanlan finally had to admit a cruel fact.

She had taken the wrong path.

This type of mistake had occurred on her for the first time.

Ye Wanlan’s expression was blank.

"No worries, a minor matter," Yan Tingfeng chuckled, patting her head, asking the young man, "Since we are newcomers, may I ask, who are the Twenty-two Sages?"

"You don’t know the Twenty-two Sages? You wouldn’t happen to be... Oh—I understand, you are visiting World City from Hua Country?" The young man’s face lit up with realization, "No wonder you don’t know about the sages, let me tell you all about them."

In recent years, World City has been open to the outside, with many tourists coming every day.

Ye Wanlan nodded: "Please, explain to us in detail."

"Long, long ago, the first Sage was born between Heaven and Earth, with the title ’World’," the young man animatedly said, "She is one of the original four Sages, her power surpasses the other twenty-one Sages!"

Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng exchanged a glance: "Tarot cards?"

Tarot cards are a divination tool, much like the Great Purity Pulse, popular in the Starman Federal Empire and the Northern Lands.

"That’s right! Tarot cards also came about because of the Twenty-two Sages!" the young man said excitedly, "Each Sage has different abilities, they are very powerful, capable of guarding this world, you would never guess, how back then, when we were facing an asteroid collision, a near doomsday, it was the World Sage leading other Sages to change that turning point!"

"I see," Ye Wanlan realized, "Every Earth has its unique disasters."

Just then, cheers erupted around them, invigorating the young man: "You guys are so lucky, as soon as you got here, you encountered the Sage Hermit!"

Ye Wanlan turned her head: "Sage Hermit?"

"Look, that’s our Lord Hermit!" The young man looked on with admiration, "Not only does he guard our home, but he also leads the fashion trend in World City’s hairstyle!"

Following his direction, Ye Wanlan saw a man with pinkish-green hair driving a sports car, waving to people on the roadside.

From appearances, he seemed no different from ordinary people.

Yan Tingfeng’s expression paused slightly, he tilted his head and whispered, "Xiao Wan, from the looks of it, it seems not every Sage is serious."

Ye Wanlan remained calm, speaking leisurely: "It’s quite normal; compared to the madmen I know, this is nothing."

After all, she knew Wen Chaosheng who loved wearing beggar clothes and would sing and flip down the street.

In comparison, dyeing hair is all too normal.

Hearing her, Yan Tingfeng was a bit startled, then smiled: "That’s true."

"Our Lord Hermit still often comes out," the young man prattled, "But the other Sages are much harder to see, especially the World Sage, who hasn’t appeared in a long time, makes one wonder where she’s gone."

Ye Wanlan asked: "So, currently in World City, which Sages are managing affairs?"

"Usually, it’s the Lord Emperor who’s seen more often, Lord Emperor is very handsome, and if you wear gold, you might even gain the favor of Lord Emperor," the young man counted on his fingers, thinking aloud, "Sometimes the Moon Sage and Sun Sage will show up, but we ordinary folks, it’s still tough to meet them."

After learning some things about the Twenty-two Sages from the young man, Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng bid farewell to him.

"This should be Earth No. 22," Ye Wanlan looked up, "It’s also beyond the Time Administration Bureau’s control, if it weren’t for our urgent matters, I’d really like to stop here for a while and meet this Wise World."

Perhaps, having both experienced a catastrophe, they would have much in common.

"There’s time to come back later," Yan Tingfeng smiled slightly.

Ye Wanlan nodded: "Let’s go."

Just as they were about to leave Earth No. 22, Ye Wanlan suddenly felt a gaze on her.

She turned and saw a handsome man.

The man wore a white suit, with hair like sunlit gold.

It was a simple outfit, yet from him, Ye Wanlan sensed a different energy fluctuating, akin to the aura of the Sage Hermit who had appeared earlier in public.

Could it be that this man is also one of the Twenty-two Sages?

"I know you!" The man suddenly stepped forward, examining her closely from head to toe.

Ye Wanlan felt this gaze wasn’t assessing a person but rather looking at a pile of shining gold.

She raised one eyebrow: "You know me?"

The blonde young man replied solemnly: "You are the King of Atlantis!"

"Shush——!"

Ye Wanlan’s eyes suddenly deepened, sharp as a blade, almost becoming tangible.

The blonde young man’s expression tensed, immediately evading her gaze, muttering: "Just like the boss, so intimidating."

Ye Wanlan knew very well that Atlantis had left legends in many worlds, as it is a small nomadic world, only maintaining normal operation while parasitizing other worlds.

Precisely because Atlantis passed through numerous worlds, it left tales in these worlds.

She had also learned from Lou Susu that in the Time Administration Bureau’s database, Atlantis was a unique data world, unlike Earth and other worlds that would appear multiple times, requiring numbering for differentiation.

But how could this young man know her identity?

The unification of Atlantis by her hadn’t even spread in her own world.

"Don’t look at me like that, I was right, wasn’t I?" The blonde young man boasted, "The boss is so amazing, already predicted the King of Atlantis would someday come here, the boss said before leaving, if she wasn’t here when you arrived, we should entertain you until she returns."

Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed slightly: "Your boss?"

What kind of person could predict things so accurately?
