Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 275 Physics Competition Finals! Meeting Yunjing Lin Family Again【1 Update】
Chapter 275: 275 Physics Competition Finals! Meeting Yunjing Lin Family Again【1 Update】
The time was almost upon them, and everyone else had already lined up ten minutes ago. Why should they all wait for Ye Wanlan?
The Physics Group Leader frowned at his watch, insisting, "There are still a few minutes left, let’s wait a bit longer. Student Ye will definitely come; she called me yesterday and told me so."
Hearing this, Xue Yiwei felt a surge of resentment rise in her heart. She held back her anger as she spoke, "Teacher Ren, I think—"
"Teacher Ren." A voice interrupted Xue Yiwei before she could continue, "Sorry, I’m late."
"Wanlan!" He Jiaojiao waved excitedly at the girl, "You’re back."
The furrow in the Physics Group Leader’s brow finally relaxed as he said with joy, "I just knew it! If Student Ye promised to do something, she would definitely see it through!"
He had heard that this physics competition had attracted quite a few geniuses, and without Ye Wanlan, Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School might be eliminated in the first round.
"I got back yesterday, and I woke up a bit late this morning." Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "Luckily, I made it in time."
"Is there something wrong with your health?" the Physics Group Leader asked with concern, "If you are feeling unwell, you must tell us."
Ye Wanlan smiled: "I won’t overdo it, Teacher Ren."
Xue Yiwei’s expression turned unsightly as she took a step back and stood next to Su Xubai.
Ye Wanlan had actually come back?
Did she still intend to juggle both the entertainment industry and her studies?
How could a person have so much energy?
It would be a pity if in the end, she failed to grasp either, and all her efforts turned out to be in vain.
"Now that Student Ye has arrived, we can set off," said the Physics Group Leader, checking the time. "Hmm, we’re right on schedule. Get on the bus; we’re heading to the airport."
Xie Linyuan stood with folded arms beside Ye Wanlan, his gaze sharply sweeping over every individual present.
When his eyes landed on Xue Yiwei, his dark brows lifted, "Little Junior Sister, this person bears ill will towards you, shall we just kill her?"
His words were as casual as if he were suggesting going out for a cup of tea.
"Big Senior Brother," Ye Wanlan looked at him, "there’s no such thing as Jianghu anymore, three hundred years later. Don’t always think about fighting and killing, I’m not that fragile."
"Tch." Xie Linyuan shrugged, "Such a hassle. It seems the past was better; whoever wanted to kill me, I would kill them first. It’s a matter of speed, and no one could be faster than the sword in my hand."
At this, Ye Wanlan also raised an eyebrow, "What about the knife of the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, then?"
The Sword Saint had once crossed blades with the Master of Highest Heaven Tower, but she wasn’t there to see it as she was recuperating at the time.
According to Jianghu rumors and the information she had received, the Sword Saint was narrowly defeated by the Master of Highest Heaven Tower by half a move.
Xie Linyuan evidently also thought of that encounter; his expression stiffened for a moment before returning to his usual nonchalance, "I underestimated him that time. If we fought again, I would definitely not lose."
Ye Wanlan offered no comment on this.
Xie Linyuan continued, "Indeed, he deserves to be called a peerless martial artist, the number one figure in Jianghu. As the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch and the Ruler of the Highest Heaven Tower, including his closest associates, not a single person knows his true face."
"Oh?" Ye Wanlan looked up, "Not even you, Big Senior Brother?"
"Yes, not even me," Xie Linyuan shook his head, "The face I saw is just one of the many he has to show. Those who can’t beat him could never know his true appearance."
He then added jokingly, "What a pity that Brother He is always stationed at the border and doesn’t have time to wander in Jianghu. Otherwise, I would really like to see who would prevail between him and the Master of Highest Heaven Tower."
Ye Wanlan: "Prince Brother wouldn’t bother with such trivialities."
"Little Junior Sister, no need to beat around the bush to scold me," Xie Linyuan looked out the window, "Is this what you call an airplane? From Jiangcheng to Yunjing, over two thousand kilometers, and it only takes two to three hours?"
Although his Qinggong was also exceptional, even if he traveled without stopping, it wouldn’t be possible to cover such a great distance in such a short time.
"Yes, and there are actually even faster modes of transportation," Ye Wanlan spoke softly, "Rockets can instantly soar into the sky, reaching the unknown expanse of outer space."
Xie Linyuan pondered for a moment, "This so-called outer space might have some similarities with the Shattered Void the old man once mentioned to me. He said that if one could cultivate martial arts to the utmost pinnacle, one might break through all human limits and reach a higher realm."
But to this day, no one has been able to achieve this.
Perhaps the Master of Highest Heaven Tower and the Sect Leaders of the Penglai and Beiming factions were the ones most likely to achieve this feat. However, following that great war, the dead were dead, the injured were injured, and the missing were missing. Thus, everything came to an end.
Setting foot, or rather floating, in the "airplane" for the first time, Xie Linyuan was somewhat nervous.
But once the airplane took off and rose into the air, he found that his feet were still firmly planted as though on solid ground, and he couldn’t help but marvel, "Three hundred years later, there indeed are many new things."
After a two and a half hour flight, they arrived in Yunjing. Under the leadership of the Physics Group Leader, the students from Jiangcheng No.7 Middle School made their way to the hotel.
This was the accommodation specially arranged by the physics competition organizers for the students participating in the competition. Besides them, they could see students from other schools in different uniforms.
"Cousin!" Lin Qin called out and gestured, "Sit here."
No.1 Middle School this time sent out a team to participate in the competition, which included Lin Wenli and Lin Qin.
Lin Qin originally didn’t intend to join the physics competition; however, someone fell ill during the preliminary round, and she replaced them, cutting through the competition to reach the finals.
Ye Wanlan turned around and saw Lin Qin and Lin Wenli standing together, so she walked over.
A qin bag was slung over Lin Qin’s back, clearly indicating that she had brought her zither as well.
"Let’s go upstairs and take a seat." Lin Qin was very happy, "I was even worried that Cousin, you wouldn’t come."
The three siblings went to the suite’s living room.
Lin Qin took a zither out of the qin bag: "Cousin, could you take a look at it for me?"
Ye Wanlan nodded, "Sure, you play, I’ll listen."
Upon seeing the zither, Xie Linyuan was slightly taken aback. His fingers trembled, and he couldn’t help but reach out to touch the Seven-stringed Zither.
But, as always, his fingers just passed through the instrument.
Looking at the characters "Secluded" on the zither, he asked in a very soft voice, "Is this... Ah Yin’s zither?"
"Mm." Listening to Lin Qin’s zither music, Ye Wanlan said in a low voice, "The Secluded Zither is the one Fanyin most often used; it seems she transferred many of Heavenly Sound Sect’s treasures before choosing to go to battle against enemies. Otherwise, Yunjing Lin Family wouldn’t be what it is today."
Xie Linyuan exhaled slowly, "What about the three ancient zithers?
"Two are with me," Ye Wanlan said. "The most powerful Sun and Moon Ruyi Zither is with Yunjing Lin Family."
"You’re not taking it back?" Xie Linyuan frowned, "Even though the current Lin Family is the descendant of Heavenly Sound Sect, it would be more reassuring to have it in your hands than anyone else’s."
"With my current strength, I’m not yet capable of opposing the entire Yunjing Lin Family," Ye Wanlan shook her head slightly, "Besides, grandmother has taken good care of me, and I need to follow her wishes."
Xie Linyuan fell silent for a moment, then rubbing his forehead, he sighed lightly, "I keep forgetting it’s three hundred years later, everything has changed, and my memory still lingers three hundred years in the past."
Before losing consciousness, he died together with his enemy.
When he regained consciousness, it was already three hundred years later.
To him, these hundreds of years were but a blink of an eye, giving him no sense of reality.
After the tune ended, Xie Linyuan looked at Lin Qin with some surprise: "This girl has quite the talent."
"Yes, initially grandmother had no intention of returning to the main family, so she didn’t pass the Heavenly Music Method to Qinqin," Ye Wanlan nodded slightly, "But Qinqin had been studying the zither for fifteen years and has a solid foundation. Even though she has only started practicing the Heavenly Music Method now, the results have increased a hundredfold."
Xie Linyuan chuckled, "To see Ah Yin has a successor makes me happy."
"Speaking of successors, a few days ago I encountered a so-called Successor of the Sword Saint," Ye Wanlan raised an eyebrow, "He wanted to keep your sword hilt but ended up getting handled by me, and in the end, he took poison and committed suicide."
Xie Linyuan’s eyes darkened, "The Sword Saint couldn’t possibly have a successor, it’s fake."
"I am aware," Ye Wanlan said indifferently, "But we still need to continue investigating this matter, just in case."
**
At this very moment, at Yunjing Lin Family.
A young man quietly appeared outside the pavilion screen: "Miss, the Secluded Zither has appeared in Yunjing."
Lin Shiyuan’s fingers, which were plucking the zither strings, paused, "Who?"
"It’s Lin Weilan’s granddaughter, Lin Qin," the young man said, "It seems she is here for some competition, but it’s likely because she needed to practice the zither, she brought it along."
Lin Shiyuan pondered, "It seems, Lin Weilan values her granddaughter the most."
In addition to the three great ancient zithers, a few well-named zithers were also passed down from Heavenly Sound Sect, among which was the Secluded Zither.
The Secluded Zither was also quite renowned, often used by the Sect Leader of Heavenly Sound, Lin Fanyin.
That it did not get destroyed in wars was a stroke of luck.
Years ago, Lin Weilan took the Secluded Zither with her, which infuriated the main family greatly.
But compared to that incident, the Secluded Zither became less significant.
The main family hadn’t personally retrieved the Secluded Zither all these years, also hoping to dig out the truth from Lin Weilan, but she remained unyielding.
However, now that the Secluded Zither had been brought to Yunjing, it must be taken back.
Lin Shiyuan resumed plucking the zither strings, her words cold, "Good, bring the zither back. As for the person, we have no need."
The main family’s zither wasn’t something a branch family member was qualified to use.
