Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 264 Breaking News! [2 Updates]

Hearing this statement, Professor Xue’s sleepiness had completely vanished; his hands rested on his knees as he sat up straight and alert.

Based on his understanding of Ye Wanlan, once she made such a statement, it must mean she had discovered something extraordinary!

It was sure to shock the entire archaeological community and even the world!

Professor Shen and Professor Li’s expressions also became a few shades more solemn, listening intently.

"I have found the burial place of Lin Fanyin, the Sect Leader of Heavenly Sound Sect," said Ye Wanlan in a soft voice. "I hope she can rest more peacefully."

This declaration was like a thunderbolt that instantly whipped up towering waves!

Professor Xue’s eyes widened in shock: "The burial place? Her body was actually preserved intact?"

"Yes," Ye Wanlan nodded slightly. "However, it would not be wise for me to disturb it alone; the help of the archaeological team is needed."

Professor Shen couldn’t help but gasp: "It’s unbelievable. We all thought Lin Fanyin had met the same fate as the others..."

In the land of Fengyuan, countless restless spirits haunted the place, yet it was very difficult to find a single intact corpse.

Whether it was Princess Jingan, who was dismembered by five horses, or Imperial Tutor Han Yunsheng, whose bones turned to dust, even their final whereabouts were undetectable.

This showed that the enemies wished to do more than merely obliterate Shenzhou; their methods were extremely cruel.

And yet Lin Fanyin, the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Sound Sect who had stood guard over the last line of defense in Fengyuan, still had a remaining body?

"Based on my conjecture, someone must have arrived in time to rescue Lin Fanyin," said Ye Wanlan placidly. "But by then it was already too late."

Professor Shen furrowed his brows: "The one capable of rescuing Lin Fanyin must be highly skilled in martial arts. Earlier you also mentioned that Lin Fanyin and Xie Linyuan were childhood sweethearts. It seems that it could only have been him."

Ye Wanlan smiled faintly: "Professor Shen is indeed astute to deduce so quickly."

The Qingyun Pendant, privy to all the facts, remarked: "..."

It muttered, "Her Royal Highness the Princess is still prone to setting traps for others."

"How can that be called setting a trap?" retorted the Jade Luan Pin, not pleased with the accusation. "Do you expect Her Royal Highness the Princess to say she saw historical scenes from the past? What if they think she’s insane?"

The Qingyun Pendant contested: "How could Her Royal Highness the Princess be insane? She is a genius!"

"Foolish," the Jade Luan Pin scoffed. "You’ve spent so much time around the King of Yan without inheriting even a fraction of his intelligence."

The Qingyun Pendant grew angry: "You’re the foolish one!"

Their argument forced Ye Wanlan to stretch out her hand and press her brow in frustration.

Sensing her action, Yan Tingfeng raised his hand to pass a cup of hot tea: "Xiao Wan, are you feeling unwell?"

"Perhaps I didn’t rest well last night," Ye Wanlan took the cup and sipped the tea. "I’m feeling somewhat irritable."

Once she made this statement, the Qingyun Pendant and the Jade Luan Pin both fell silent at once, daring not to utter another word.

Ye Wanlan felt the world finally became tranquil.

Yan Tingfeng blinked gently: "I’ll accompany you for a walk outside later; the weather is still good today."

"Alright," agreed Ye Wanlan. "It’s been over a week since I arrived in Fengyuan, and I haven’t visited other places yet."

"This matter is of great importance; we must immediately protect Lin Fanyin’s gravesite," declared Professor Li decisively. "To prevent any thieves with bad intentions from sneaking in, stealing, and causing destruction."

Ye Wanlan looked up: "That is precisely what I was thinking. Additionally, I have already retrieved the hilt of the Sword Saint’s Sword." novelbuddy-cσ๓

She took the sword hilt from the box and placed it on the table.

"This..." Professor Shen was slightly taken aback. "That so-called successor of the Sword Saint is not easy to deal with. We were planning to contact the researcher today to intervene. How did you..."

"It’s a strange affair," Ye Wanlan said composedly. "When I went to Lake Heart Island, the place was a wreck, with the wooden house shattered to pieces. I found the sword hilt among the ruins."

Professor Shen and Professor Li exchanged glances: "Could it be that the successor of the Sword Saint had a confrontation with someone else?"

The coordinates of Lake Heart Island were very hidden, impossible to find on a map; they had only managed to reach the destination with the address provided by the researcher.

Before that, they didn’t even know that within the domain of Fengyuan City, such a small island existed.

Yan Tingfeng said indifferently: "Historical records state that Xie Linyuan was the last Sword Saint, and he left no children behind. This indicates that the so-called successor of the Sword Saint simply does not exist."

"A fake?" Professor Shen’s brows furrowed, and he coldly said, "We had such suspicions before, but it was a colleague’s recommendation and repeated assurances that we handed over the hilt. I didn’t expect it would be a fraud!"

This matter needed to be reported to the Cultural Relics Bureau Archaeological Center as soon as possible.

"Thankfully, Wanlan has already retrieved the hilt. Otherwise, we would not know what troubles it could have caused," stated Professor Li, also quite infuriated.

"Alright, let’s quickly follow Wanlan to see Lin Fanyin’s gravesite," Professor Xue got up. "There might be other discoveries."

Ye Wanlan nodded: "Professors, please follow me."

"Xiao Wan." Yan Tingfeng suddenly called her back.

"Hm?" Ye Wanlan turned around.

"I have some urgent matters to attend to and won’t be accompanying you," Yan Tingfeng coughed lightly. "Is there anything you’d like for lunch?"

Ye Wanlan arched her brow, "I like everything you cook, and you know I never lie."

"Good." Yan Tingfeng watched her quietly, a tender smile on his lips, "I’ll wait for your return."

Professor Xue looked at Ye Wanlan, then at Yan Tingfeng, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

The dialogue between the two seemed perfectly normal, and he couldn’t find fault with it, but why did he always feel that this young man, Yan Tingfeng, was up to no good?!

Looking into Yan Tingfeng’s crystal-clear eyes, there wasn’t a trace of impurity in them, pure and harmless.

Professor Xue scratched his head, suddenly feeling a bit guilty.

How could he think such things about Yan Tingfeng?

That was wrong!

The four of them left, and the surroundings returned to tranquility.

The smile on Yan Tingfeng’s lips gradually vanished at this moment, and his expression turned indifferent.

He strolled out of the great hall, ascending the stairs to the terrace.

The next second, the entire terrace was enveloped in a massive surge of Inner Strength.

Yan Tingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the entire Fengyuan City, "You’re in such a hurry to find me, what has happened?"

"Arriving in haste, I hadn’t the opportunity to discuss it with the Master," the Supreme Elder of the Rong family bowed respectfully, "But indeed there is an urgent matter that even I cannot fathom."

Yan Tingfeng’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and he suddenly smiled, "Let me guess, this matter is either related to Lin Fanyin or Xie Linyuan."

The Supreme Elder’s expression shook, "The Master is truly wise. Just yesterday before dawn, as I observed the stars, I saw the third Life Star begin to rise, its speed so swift, it soon caught up with the previous two."

"The third one?"

"It is the Life Star of Sword Saint Xie Linyuan."

"Is it him..." Yan Tingfeng murmured, "So does that mean he will be resurrected?"

"This is precisely what perplexes me," the Supreme Elder said with deep concern, "How can the Life Star of someone dead for three hundred years reappear, and now with three of them, will there be a fourth or fifth?"

Yan Tingfeng was silent.

He was thinking back to a very long time ago.

It was a time of great peril in Shenzhou, when even the reclusive sects of Mount Penglai and the Beiming Sect came down from their retreats to save the world.

Before his death, the Beiming Sect Leader, Xing Yun, had turned to him in the sky and said, "Rest assured, Master, there remains a glimmer of hope. Perhaps one day, we will all return."

Could it be...

At that time, had Xing Yun seen a future that even the Head of Great Purity, Rong Shi, could not perceive?

Yan Tingfeng asked indifferently, "If a Life Star reappears, will there be dire consequences?"

"There will be no dire consequences, but it’s inevitable that it will be accompanied by disasters," the Supreme Elder stroked his beard, "Only, even I cannot discern what the disaster will be."

After all, these were the Life Stars of the most outstanding historical figures from three hundred years ago.

Each name, even now, is legendary.

"I am aware. Should a fourth Life Star appear, report it to me immediately," Yan Tingfeng caught a falling petal in his palm, "It’s getting late, and I have things to do."

The Supreme Elder was very respectful, "May I know what you are busy with, Master? Can I offer any assistance?"

"No need," Yan Tingfeng smoothed his sleeve, "I’m just cooking; no help is needed."

The Supreme Elder: "???"

Cooking what?

He understood every word in that sentence, so why couldn’t he understand it when put together?!

The Supreme Elder left the terrace with a dazed expression.

If people knew that what the Master of Highest Heaven Tower called ’matters’ was going to the kitchen to cook, wouldn’t they go mad?

Headquarters of Heavenly Sound Sect ruins.

Under Ye Wanlan’s leadership, the archaeological team successfully reached Lin Fanyin’s burial site.

"Fantastic!" the team leader exclaimed in excitement, "Once we’ve established our protective measures and made the announcement, Elder Xue was right, Miss Ye truly is our lucky star!"

Professor Xue was very proud, "Indeed she is!"

"Miss Ye!" Just then, a team member lifted his smartphone in disbelief, "You... you’re trending on social media."
