CHAPTER 1038: CHAPTER 988: THE SAGES REUNITE, SISTER LAN AND QINGQING

Although the second holy war reshuffled the twenty-two sages, the World City remains a chaotic place with mercenaries emerging one after another.

In addition to the mercenaries, there are also geniuses like Poison Pharmacists, Hypnotists, and Sharpshooters represented in the strength rankings on the NOK Forum.

Especially Poison Pharmacists and Hypnotists, anyone who makes it into the top hundred is impossible to guard against.

As a result, mercenaries are instead the least conspicuous.

Cesar only looked up and turned his head for two seconds, and the five mercenaries surrounding Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng had already all fallen to the ground.

Some were vomiting blood, others were wailing.

Ye Wanlan still stood on one mercenary’s chest, coldly saying, "Trash, get lost."

The four mercenaries scrambled away, not daring to look back.

They never expected to kick such a solid iron plate.

They just didn’t know which ranking this young girl belonged to.

"No wonder the boss warned us a thousand times over." Cesar touched his chin, clicking his tongue twice, "This style is very similar to the boss, mainly because the appearance is so deceptive. Alas, a moment of silence for these blind fools."

Norton said blandly, "There’s still a big difference from the boss."

"What’s the difference? You’ve only seen Miss Ye for a few minutes, and you can see the difference?" Cesar sneered coldly, "You think you’re the boss, able to predict everything? You’re just a mutt!"

"If encountered with trash, the boss would think it in his heart." Norton unhurriedly said, "But this Miss Ye will curse directly."

Cesar: "..."

He really nailed it, this mutt.

The four first arrived at the restaurant they had reserved long ago.

Ye Wanlan looked up at Norton: "Mr. Zhancha, is your hair color and eye color a result of drugs?"

"It’s been resolved for a long time." Norton was indifferent, "It’s just that kids like it."

"You’re only climbing up based on looks! Otherwise, how could you become the boss’s uncle-in-law?" Cesar scorned him, "With your temper, you deserve to be alone forever!"

Norton smiled, "Aren’t you the same?"

"Of course I’m not." Cesar argued, "I rely on strong financial resources!"

Norton shrugged.

Ye Wanlan’s eyes darkened slightly, seriously contemplating whether if the effects of alchemical medicine on the human body are reversible, does that mean Shui Yunqing could also return to normal?

"Bang!"

At this moment, the door to the private room was suddenly slammed open.

Two people dressed in black, wearing hats, scarves, and masks, rushed in.

"Quick! Close the door!" One of them said, "They didn’t follow us, did they?"

The other comforted with a smile, "No, don’t worry, they can’t get in here."

"That’s good, that’s good." The first speaker heaved a sigh of relief and removed the disguise.

It revealed an extremely beautiful face, with a few shades of worldly coldness.

"Miss Ye, Young Master Yan, I’m really sorry for being late." She extended her hand to Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng and smiled, "Wise Moon, Qin Lingyu, nice to meet you."

The other also took off his hat and mask, with a gentle appearance that had a calming magic.

He smiled faintly, "Wise Sun, Yu Xuesheng, very pleased to meet both of you."

Now, before they arrived, Cesar had already greeted them.

Cesar puzzled, "Why are you two dressed like this? Are you filming a crime drama recently?"

Qin Lingyu, world-weary and feebly said, "Because I have to avoid paparazzi and fans."

Who would have thought she, the proud Wise Moon, would be so embarrassed facing paparazzi.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "Is Miss Moon in the entertainment industry?"

Qin Lingyu nodded, "Ah Ying said Miss Ye came to us by mistake?"

"Yes." Ye Wanlan slowly replied, "I indeed came here by mistake. This place is very much like the world I once stayed in. I need to find my younger sister."

"Sister?" Qin Lingyu was stunned, blurting out, "Could it be... Si Fqing, Miss Si?"

Ye Wanlan’s expression shook, "You’ve seen her?"

"Yes." Qin Lingyu nodded, smiling, "Miss Si came with Ah Ying. She’s also an actress, very talented."

Ye Wanlan’s eyelashes fluttered slightly, "Xiaoqing has also been here, huh..."

Yan Tingfeng sensed the slight trembling of her body, he said, "Xiao Wan."

After a long, long period of silence, Ye Wanlan finally calmed the violent emotions surging in her heart.

After a while, she softly asked, "So, is she well?"

"..."

Everyone was silent.

If she is well, she must be well.

Because Si Fqing was very outgoing and lively, she was also a highly skilled big star.

But if she is not well, she is not well.

Because she always missed Ye Wanlan, alone in the depth of the night, unable to restrain herself.

Finally, Qin Lingyu was the first to speak, "Miss Si helped me a lot. I had no inspiration for my new MV, and it was Miss Si who enlightened me."

"Xiaoqing is indeed very talented." Ye Wanlan’s eyebrows unfolded, "She loves acting. I used to say if I had time, I’d set up a film company just so she could stand on the most central stage, and then..."

But, that promise was never fulfilled.

Although she indeed accepted Shengshi Entertainment in Shenzhou three hundred years later, Si Fqing was not there.

Ye Wanlan suddenly stood up, she said lightly, "Excuse me, I need some fresh air."

"Hey, Miss Ye—" Qin Lingyu also stood up, wanting to follow her out.

"Let Xiao Wan be alone for a while." Yan Tingfeng gently shook his head, "At times like this, she just needs to be alone."

Qin Lingyu then sat back down again.

If it weren’t for Ye Wanlan and Yan Tingfeng visiting, the few sages here might not have gathered for a long time.

After all, everyone has their own life, their own affairs.

In daily life, sages also blend in with ordinary people, doing what they should do.

"Why hasn’t the boss come back yet? Miss Ye and Young Master Yan are here, logically she should also be on her way back." Cesar wondered.

Yu Xuesheng said softly, "Perhaps she encountered something that held her back."

"What could hold Ah Ying back?" Qin Lingyu was a little incredulous, "It’s one thing if Ah Ying isn’t in our universe, but why haven’t Mianxi and Yueyue come either?"

"Perhaps something urgent from the Ancient Martial World is also holding back Miss Ling." Yu Xuesheng smiled, "As for why the Fifth Miss isn’t here, then——"

"Shhh shhh!"

Everyone’s eyes focused on Cesar.

Cesar choked, "Why are you looking at me? How could I possibly manage her? Besides, she’s also a scammer."

"But you know Yueyue." Qin Lingyu said, "Think about it, where might she be now?"

"Now that you mention it, I do have an idea." Cesar actually thought of something.

Qin Lingyu perked up, "What what?"

"She might..." Cesar paused, "be swindling money somewhere as a fortune teller."

Everyone: "..."

Qin Lingyu had a complex expression, "You can take out the ’might’."

It’s not ’might,’ it definitely is.

**

Meanwhile, Ye Wanlan wandered on the street.

People coming and going, a gentle breeze blowing.

In this otherworld of Earth No. 9, she unexpectedly could feel a long-lost sense of peace.

Ye Wanlan had once thought meeting Si Fqing was not important.

The important thing was, as long as her little Qing was well, that was enough.

Suddenly, a shadow fell over her.

Ye Wanlan looked up.

What came into view was a girl who, upon seeing her, her eyes shone.

The girl took a sachet out of her pocket, said seriously, "Lady, I see darkness on your face, you surely have a bloody disaster. Just buy a sachet I made meticulously, I guarantee you’ll live to a hundred."

Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "Oh?"

The girl’s expression was filled with suppressed excitement, she animatedly said, "The price isn’t high, just one million! With one million, you can avert your upcoming disaster, how about it?"
