Chapter 369
Ying Yuexuan had a vague suspicion in her mind, but she had never dared to be sure, nor was she willing to be.
Apart from sending her that MMS message, this strange number had also sent her a lot of things related to the Ying family.
There were even photos of the orphanage she used to stay in.
She had been taken back from the orphanage by Ying Zhending.
At that time she was still young and had no memory of anything.
In fact, Ying Yuexuan knew that she was not the eldest daughter of the Ying family even earlier.
It was when she was in junior high school that she overheard Ying Zhending and Zhong Manhua talking about it once.
Since then, she had been more reclusive and had started to think of ways to exclude Zhong Zhiyan.
If it was known that she was not even the eldest daughter of the Ying family, how could she compete with Zhong Zhiwei and the other real girls?
Later, she asked Ying Zhending, who said that her parents were dead, so she was secretly relieved.
However, after seeing the third text message, her back tensed up and cold sweat dripped down in layers.
Sure enough!
[I am your real mother, Jing Hongzhen.]
This line caused Ying Yuexuan to get up violently.
Because the movement was too great, even the chair was brought down.
“Miss Yuexuan.” Outside the door, Yuan Jiacheng happened to come up at this time and knocked on the door after hearing the commotion, “Are you alright?”
“No, nothing.” Ying Yuexuan squeezed her phone tightly, “I accidentally bumped the chair.”
“Good.” Yuan Jiacheng didn’t ask any more questions, his voice gentle, “If you need anything, you can give me a word, I’ll help.”
The sound of footsteps rang out and he left.
It was only after a long time that Ying Yuexuan slowed down her energy.
She was immediately ready to delete the three text messages and black out the number again, and she wouldn’t go to see Ying Hongzhen.
She was the eldest daughter of the Ying family, and her mother was Zhong Manhua.
But it was as if the other party knew what was in her mind.
The phone dripped twice more at that moment.
[You don’t see me, but I am still your mother.
[You have to believe that in this world, I am the only one who will completely stand by your side and help you. Aren’t you really not afraid that the Ying family will take their own daughter back?
Ying Yuexuan’s hands were sweaty as she stared at these lines.
Eventually, she made up her mind.
[Okay, I will be there.]
**
Downstairs.
Father Yuan came back at this time, his face was a bit ugly and he couldn’t stop sighing.
When Meng Ru saw it, she immediately got up and greeted him, “What’s wrong?”
“I couldn’t get an invitation to the Nie family’s New Year’s party.” Father Yuan shook his head, “It looks like there’s no chance at all.”
Today was the 7th of February, the Nie family’s New Year’s Eve banquet was on New Year’s Eve, there was less than a week to go.
The list of all the guests had been drawn up by Master Nie himself.
The fact that they couldn’t get it now proved that they hadn’t been invited.
“So.” Meng Ru was also disappointed, but this was sort of within her expectations, and she pondered for a moment, “Master, then let’s follow that proposal I made earlier.”
If she wanted to cooperate with the Nie family, of course relying on Ying Yuexuan would definitely not work, rather she needed contacts.
That was why she had set up a connection for Ying Yuexuan to go to the Imperial Capital University.
When the time came, she would be able to invite the professors from the computer department of the Imperial University to help.
Inwardly, Yuan’s father was still a little reluctant, but he agreed: “It’s fine, you watch what you do, the engagement is not a marriage, it can be cancelled at any time.”
Meng Ru nodded and went to contact the Ying family.
**
In the evening, the hotel.
In the living room of the presidential suite.
When Nie Chao arrived, he took out a white card with a hot gold border and handed it to the girl, using a throw of the dice: “Here, big brother.”
Ying took it: “What’s this?”
“An invitation to the New Year’s party.” Nie Chao ruffled his hair, very flirtatious, “My old man specifically instructed me to make sure I gave you one.”
Ying Ziji looked at it and thought the design of the invitation was not bad, she pondered, “Is there any good food?”
“Yes, of course there is.” Nie Chao was brimming with pride, “Several chefs from home and abroad have been invited, as well as the dessert chef.”
Ying nodded his head and accepted.
The isc training camp lasts until the end of February, with seven days off in the New Year.
Not counting the make-up time, Qingzhi would also start school in March, just in time for her to go back.
After all, she had also promised the headmaster that she was to sit the entrance exams.
Ying Ziji pondered slightly and fished out a box only the size of a palm from her own backpack, “Here, keep it safe, don’t let outsiders see it.”
Nie Chao was flattered, “Big brother, you’re too kind.”
“Don’t be polite.” Ying Zidian didn’t look up, “By the way.”
This was the finished product made from the snow lingzhi she had bought at the last auction.
She had refined the medicine together after putting a bounty on other herbs on the nok forum.
After her last visit to Norton University, she had brought back the pill furnace she used to use.
This medicine furnace was carefully made by her and was not too big to carry around.
It was also able to preserve the full power of the medicine flawlessly without any spillage during the process of making it.
If it were the pill furnace of those ancient medicine practitioners in the ancient medical world, one furnace would be six pills at most, but her pill furnace could refine twelve pills at a time.
It was just enough to share.
Ying took out a more delicate and larger box from her backpack and handed it to Fu Yunshen, “Yours.”
Nie Chao looked at his own, then at Fu Yunshen’s: “……”
D*mn, his dog’s eyes are blind!
Unlike Nie Chao.
After receiving this box, Fu Yunshen was able to guess what was inside.
Because this box, was the kind that ancient doctors used specifically.
The colour of his eyes gradually sank: “Yao Yao, if you can refrain from refining, don’t refine.”
The ordinary kind that prolongs life and replenishes blood and qi doesn’t matter much.
But drugs like the Face Nourishing Pill, and one that could increase the strength of ancient martial artists, would all deplete the life force.
Just like fortune telling, one retribution for another.
If you want something, you have to pay a certain price.
Ying Zigui raised her eyes and looked at him lazily, “I have a number, I value my life so much, and I’m stronger than them, these can’t hurt me.”
Fu Yunshen rubbed her head, “Then refine less too.”
Nie Chao put her box away mournfully and suddenly spoke, “Big brother, I have something I want to tell you, you don’t know, right, Seventh young man he-”
Before he could finish the words that followed, his voice suddenly cut off and not a single word could be sent out.
Nie Chao was a little confused.
What happened?
Ying Zidian’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Nie Chao: “What’s wrong with him?”
“It’s something, it has to do with Nie Yi.” Fu Yunshen rose unhurriedly and pressed Nie Chao’s shoulder, “I’ll go out and talk to him.”
Ying nodded and went back to watching TV.
After leaving the door, Nie Chao was suddenly able to speak again, he was shocked, “D*mn, Seventh Younger, hell, I almost thought I was mute.”
Fu Yunshen stuck one hand in his pocket and said indifferently, “Well, I nudged your mute point through the air.”
Otherwise, it was not possible to tell what words would have popped out from this silly two-ha.
“Younger Seven, don’t tease me.” Nie Chao muttered, “You’ve read too many martial arts novels, right?”
Those ancient martial artists he read about in books weren’t this amazing.
“Forget about it, if you dare to say one word in front of her-” Fu Yunshen gently patted his collar, smiling, “I’ll send you to the Seventh District.”
Nie Chao instantly winced and screamed miserably, “Are you f*cking human?”
Of course he had heard of the Seventh Special Region.
The Seventh Special Region was a special area, in the southernmost part of the O Continent, with a cold climate.
The pre-selected members of the One Word team would all go there for training.
Only after pa*sing the training could they become official members.
Nie Chao was lucky enough to follow Nie Yi there once, and was truly scared sh*tless.
Not only were there many elite mercenaries and agents in the Seventh Region, but there were also many beasts.
But in fact, the 7th Special Region was the exclusive training base for ibi.
“So, be good and don’t talk nonsense.” Fu Yun Shen’s peach blossom eyes raised, “I wouldn’t do anything.”
“I know I know.” Nie Chao immediately covered his mouth, “I won’t say anything.”
He really believed that Fu Yunshen could do anything.
The two of them went back inside.
Ying Ziji looked up again and his eyes fell on Nie Chao’s body.
Nie Chao immediately raised his hand, “Big brother, I just wanted to tell you about the time when Seventh Younger and my big brother used to fight together, and then Seventh Younger gave me instructions to behave myself and not to talk nonsense.”
Ying Ziji looked at Fu Yunshen again.
Fu Yunshen raised his eyebrows and spoke in an idle tone, “Well, that’s right.”
Ying Ziji looked down.
Look, even the man is molesting.
In this world, I’m afraid there is nothing he can’t coax.
**
Nie Chao was soon kicked out of the hotel.
He didn’t want to be a light bulb either, and carried the box Ying Zidian had given him home in the cold wind.
He walked into the courtyard before he carefully opened the box.
Inside was a round, blue and white pill with a faint fragrance that was refreshing.
Nie Chao took the box inside and cupped the pill in one hand, ready to eat it.
To his slight surprise, there was an outsider at the Nie family’s old mansion at this time.
It was a middle-aged man, tall and erect, with a sharp aura emanating from his body, as if he had been walking on the tip of a sword all year round.
Sensing the troops, Nie Chao immediately put the pills into the box and quickly stowed them in his pocket.
But it was just a short ten seconds or so, and it was enough for the middle-aged man to perceive it.
In an instant, his eyes locked onto Nie Chao’s pocket, his gaze like a torch, almost turning into substance.
“Sir Nie, this is-”
“Just a sugar bean.” Nie Chao frowned and took a step back, “What?”
The middle-aged man stepped forward, about to say something else.
Behind him, Elder Nie’s slightly hoarse voice rang out majestically, “Housekeeper Lin, this is the Nie family.”
After giving Nie Chao a thoughtful glance, Butler Lin nodded his head and left without saying anything else.
“Grandpa.” Nie Chao walked over, “Who was that?”
Elder Nie waved his hand, “Carry your book, you’ll know later.”
In the beginning, Elder Nie was training Nie Yi as an heir, and had even sent him to the Ancient Martial World for training.
For Nie Chao, he just hoped that the boy would grow up safely.
But the only thing Elder Nie had missed was that Nie Yi was too good and had inherited the One Team.
Nie Chao was different from Nie Yi.
He didn’t intend to let Nie Chao know about the Ancient Medicine and Ancient Martial Arts worlds now.
The boy was prone to breakdowns and had to be given a mental preparation.
Nie Chao scratched his head and went upstairs.
Only then did he open the box again and took a bite of the pill, recalling it, “It seems to be blueberry flavoured.”
Nie Chao received the box into his drawer and locked it.
Sleepiness hit him, and he had planned to take a nap.
But when he remembered that middle-aged man just now, his eyes were very wrong, Nie Chao picked up his spirits again and sent a message to Nie Yi.
[My brother eh, does One Word Team have a temporary team? Lend me a moment.]
A few minutes later, Nie Yi replied.
[Good, arrive tomorrow.]
**
Over here, after Housekeeper Lin left the Nie family, he set off back to the Ancient Martial Realm.
He first went to see Lin Jin Yun, the head of the Lin family, and after talking about some things about the Nie family and the Mu family, he went to see Lin Qingjia again.
Lin Qingjia had just finished healing an ancient martial artist from the Lin family, and there was still blood on her hands.
She didn’t care and began to clean it.
Lin’s housekeeper came forward and lowered his voice to ensure that no one else could hear him, “Miss Qingjia, I smelled a faint fragrance in the Nie family, it was magical and I could feel my bottleneck loosening.”
“I asked, but I guess they themselves didn’t know, and said it was sugar beans.”
Butler Lin’s internal energy had not been raised for a long time and was stuck in one place.
He had also taken the medicine sent by the ancient medical community, but it didn’t help much.
But today, he had just smelled the medicine at Nie’s house and it all had such an effect.
Butler Lin didn’t dare to think what would happen if he took that medicine.
Lin Qingjia’s expression gave a beat as his expression grew serious: “The Nie family, which one is connected to the ancient medical community?”
“It’s also the Dream Family.” Housekeeper Lin said, “But it shouldn’t be the Meng Family, the medicine Miss Meng made isn’t this strong.”
Within the Ancient Medicine community, the Dream Family had the most contact with secular families, but only the youngest generation.
The rest of those ancient doctors didn’t even bother to heal ordinary people, let alone deliver medicine.
Chapter 370
“I know.” Lin Qingjia didn’t care much and smiled, “Maybe there’s some kind of hidden ancient doctor, isn’t that a normal thing? I haven’t finished my research yet, so I’ll leave first.”
She nodded slightly towards Housekeeper Lin and left.
Housekeeper Lin looked at Lin Qingjia’s back and let out a sigh.
Miss Qingjia was good in every way, but the only beauty was that she was not Lin Jinyun’s own daughter.
Moreover, her mother was really too mercenary and greedy to be liked, the only good thing about her was that she was not bad looking.
If it wasn’t for Lin Qingjia, an ordinary person could have married into the Lin family?
Don’t even think about it.
Lin Qingjia said that she didn’t need to care, but Housekeeper Lin felt that this matter was important.
A powerful ancient doctor had appeared outside the ancient medical community, and it had to be a key concern.
He pondered for a while, but still called for a few of his courtiers.
**
The following day.
Noon.
After greeting Meng Ru, Ying Yuexuan went to the central garden restaurant.
To her surprise, Ying Hongzhen was not some rural woman, or ordinary peasant.
The woman was dressed extravagantly, all in big branded goods too.
Although her temperament could not be compared to that of a wealthy noblewoman, it was not bad either.
Inexplicably, Ying Yuexuan was relieved.
She was afraid that Jing Hongzhen would not let go and try to suck her blood.
But Ying Yuexuan didn’t know how to call Jing Hongzhen, she opened her mouth, “You ……”
“Alright, call her whatever you want, it’s fine if you don’t.” Ying Hongzhen examined Ying Yuexuan for a moment, then suddenly smiled, “It seems that I made a good decision in letting you enter the Ying family at that time.”
Ying Yuexuan’s heart skipped a beat, “What do you mean?”
“What, you’re not satisfied?” Jing Hongzhen, “Look, you are now the eldest young lady of the Ying family and will soon be engaged to the first son of the Yuan family, if you follow me, can you have such benefits?”
“Don’t you see that I dress quite well, but I have negative a*sets every month, I can’t afford to support you at all.”
Ying Yuexuan’s fingers squeezed tightly.
Of course they couldn’t.
But she had a life that was stolen from her.
“Didn’t you send me into the Ying family?” Ying Yuexuan looked around nervously, “Then why did you still appear? Aren’t you afraid that my parents will find you?”
“Didn’t I say so? I came to find you, to help you.” Jing Hongzhen smiled again, “Ying Zidian is so good, aren’t you really afraid? If the Ying family gives her proper status, you’ll be swept away.”
Ying Yuexuan’s body trembled.
“I’m afraid, of course I’m afraid.” She pursed her lips and her throat was dry, “What can I do? I’ve tried hard enough, and I’m still no match for her.”
“No, of course you haven’t tried hard enough.” Jing Hongzhen shook her head, “You need to think of a way to fix her.”
“Solve it?” Ying Yuexuan only felt very ridiculous, “Don’t you know? She is very skilled, and she also has Fu Yunshen, how can I solve it?”
“There will be a way.” Jing Hongzhen took a sip of coffee, “You’ll know after a while.”
After saying that, she got up, “Before you solve her, I won’t meet with you, and you will contact me less.”
Ying Yuexuan noticed Jing Hongzhen’s hand.
Although it had also been maintained, it was not difficult to see that there were wrinkles and calluses.
It was completely different from Zhong Manhua’s hands.
Ying Yuexuan’s lips trembled and she squeezed her cup tightly, she would never go back to her ordinary life.
Ying Hongzhen walked out.
In the distance, at another table, Ying Tianru caught the scene in his eyes.
His eyes gradually sank.
He had never met that woman, but he could see that Ying Yuexuan and that woman had very similar eyes, both with triangular eyes.
Master Zhong noticed that Ying Tianru had stopped eating and kept looking at one place, and raised his head, “Tianru, what are you looking at?”
“Nothing.” Ying Tianru slowed down, “I thought I saw a familiar face, but I didn’t expect to see the wrong one.”
Elder Zhong nodded, eating while happily editing the video for Ying Tianli and putting it on Weibo.
Master Zhong’s editing skills were superb, so he had a lot more followers under his Weibo account.
He also received a private message asking him to cut some kind of cp video.
Master Zhong was so angry that he immediately blacked out this person.
Ying Tianru didn’t move and snapped his phone.
On it was a photo that captured Ying Hongzhen’s proper face.
He sent this photo to his friend.
[Check if this woman is Jing Hongzhen.]
**
On the other hand, inside the ‘Youth 202′ training camp.
In the first episode, each contestant was given a cla*s based on the mentor’s rating.
Yun He Yue was the first a rating and was naturally a*signed to cla*s a.
There were only seven people in cla*s a, and the remaining contestants squeezed their heads to get in.
The second episode was the contestants’ first public performance, and once again, Yun and Yue took the highest number of likes for this public performance with absolute power, becoming the king of likes.
Now it’s time to start filming the third episode, which will be broadcast on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
After being recognised by the netizens, Ying didn’t wear a mask anymore.
She was received by her music tutor Xu Tangzhou.
Unlike producer Li and the director, Xu Tangzhou had followed Qin Lingyu to the meeting room and accidentally heard Xie Manyu call Ying Zigui boss.
It was only then that he realised that such a young girl would be the CEO of First Light Media.
Xu Tangzhou is twenty-six years old and has been debuting for ten years.
Having been in the entertainment industry for so long, he knows what to say and what not to say.
Xu Tangzhou was gentle and polite: “Miss Ying, Yunheyue’s bedroom is this way.”
Ying Ziji followed him there.
Just as she reached the door of the dormitory, there was a loud argument from inside.
Xu Tangzhou’s eyes turned cold as he pushed the door open and entered.
He saw two boys falling on the floor, in great pain.
The other three boys were surrounding Yun and Yue, their expressions unkind.
On the ground, there were several pieces of torn drawing paper, stained with paint.
Xu Tangzhou, who had always been gentle, was angry at the moment: “What are you doing?”
Several boys instantly stood up straight, not even daring to move: “Xu, Teacher Xu.”
Ying stood in the doorway with her arms wrapped around her, her pupils as cold as snow.
She had also seen what was going on inside the dormitory and probably knew what was going on.
With Yunhe Yue’s silent personality, she was indeed vulnerable to bullying.
Yunheyue didn’t say anything, she waved towards Ying Zidian before walking inside with her drawing board in her arms.
Yu Xuesheng had taught her simple self-defence techniques.
Since she had been beaten by her father since she was a child, she knew how to dodge.
It was more than enough to deal with these boys.
If her painting hadn’t been torn up, she wouldn’t have done it.
“Reflect well.” Xu Tangzhou didn’t expect this to happen, he closed the door behind him, “Miss Ying, I’m really sorry.”
“You’re just a tutor, not a security officer.” Ying Zigui yawned, faintly, “It’s none of your business.”
Xu Tangzhou was stunned.
The girl’s eyelashes were long and her complexion was extremely white.
It was like cotton, soft and supple.
Xu Tangzhou quickly looked away and coughed unnaturally, “Is Miss Ying coming to support Yunheyue?”
Ying Zidian raised her eyebrows: “Help?”
Xu Tangzhou nodded slightly and explained a little.
Youth 101 had this support lineup at that time.
However, that was when the programme team had invited celebrities to support the trainees, which was to raise the heat of the programme and get more people to pay attention to it.
But Youth 202 is different, this time the contestants have to hire their own supporters.
The programme team also had the intention to create more heat, which is why they chose such a way.
Feng Tong, who is currently in second place in terms of votes, has invited Hua Yin to support him.
Both of them are from Skywalk Entertainment.
Hua Yin is also a male top streamer, and he came first in both the 2018 and 2019 National Male God Awards.
However, last year, a Fu Yunshen suddenly appeared.
After Feng Tong invited Hua Yin to the show, the team sent out a Weibo post.
This time, Feng Tong’s votes were rising at a rate visible to the naked eye, and many of them were Huayin’s fans again, soon approaching Yun and Yue, and even about to overtake.
Today, a few more contestants have invited the stars who support them.
These stars, in the entertainment industry are also in the first line ranks, has a not low amount of conversation.
It has to be said that the programme team has really played their cards right.
These stars would come, in fact, partly because they were there for Qin Lingyu and Xie Manyu.
If they were able to get together with these two, their status in the entertainment industry would be secure
Just a short half month has pa*sed and the show has already drawn countless amounts of money, and Primeval Light Media’s investment has doubled several times.
It was only because she was watching her money soar that Ying decided to come back to the show.
Xu Tangzhou opened Weibo: “Many netizens are guessing under the programme’s Weibo that Yunhe Yue will invite you.”
Ying Ziyi turned her head and looked over.
Just a moment ago, the programme team had sent out another Weibo post.
Another new support star had been announced.
[Ahhhhhhhh, so excited for the third episode, can’t wait!
[All the contestants in the top 10 votes, except for Yun and Yue, have already brought in their supporters, right? Have Yun and Yue not yet? I heard that the show is going to be recorded today, so she’s not going to be on stage alone, right?
[Don’t forget, Yunhe Moon is just a trainee, she doesn’t have a company or an agent, so she can’t hire a star.
[Oh, I forgot, Yunhe Moon can hire that Ying God, he’s a celebrity, isn’t he?
[This is a stage. Is a scientific researcher going to come up here and start talking about elliptic equations with a trigonometry board? Don’t make a fool of yourself, you’ll be laughing all the way to the bank [smile] [smile]]
