"Ling'er, you better come quickly. Zhou Yan has already begun to take over Zhou Family's leadership. He's now in control of about thirty percent of the family's power,"
"If you're not here, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop that bastard Zhou Yan. But if you come, with both of our statuses, we should be able to hold him off, at least until Wan'er's poison takes effect."
"I don't believe that Zhou Yan will still have any interest in a dead person."
On the other end of the phone, Sheng Minglan spoke urgently after explaining the situation.
"Ling'er, what do you mean by that?"
"You know very well that Wan'er's poison is incurable. What are you going to do to save her?"
"And the most important thing is that Wan'er doesn't have much time left. What's keeping you from coming now?"
"I know your old man is seriously ill, but wasn't it said that he'd already recovered and his life was no longer at risk?"
"You're telling me he's recovered, and yet you're still not coming? What's really going on?"
Upon hearing Zhao Ling'er's words, Sheng Minglan immediately grew cold and suspicious, thinking that Zhao Ling'er didn't want to come.
"Don't worry, Minglan. I really have a way to save Wan'er."
"Forget it, let me think about it and see if I can make it to you guys. If not, I'll send the medicine over, and once Wan'er takes it, she'll be fine."
"Once she's better, you can bring her to Tianhai. I'm confident I can protect her there."
Zhao Ling'er reassured Sheng Minglan, speaking with confidence.
"Ling'er, you really have a way to save Wan'er?"
"And do you have a way to convince your old man to protect her?"
"I talked to my family before, but they said that if something like this happened to me, even though the Sheng Family isn't as powerful as the Zhou Family, they'd still protect me no matter what. But Wan'er is an outsider, and my grandfather won't use his strength to protect her. Once Zhou Yan uses his power, my family will hand Wan'er over to him without hesitation."
"That's why I didn't bring her to the Sheng Family. If I did, it would be like sending her to the wolves. With Zhou Yan's obsession with her, he'd use all his resources to force my grandfather to hand her over."
"If my grandfather agrees, then Wan'er would have to face both the Sheng Family and the Zhou Family, and I wouldn't be able to stop it."
"If you really have the medicine to save her, don't take her to your Zhao Family. I'm afraid your grandfather might also hand her over."
"The best solution would be for you to heal her and then send her abroad. Although the Zhou Family has power abroad, the situation is much more complex, and there are many factions. As long as Wan'er stays hidden, Zhou Yan will never find her."
Hearing Zhao Ling'er's words, Sheng Minglan believed that she wasn't lying, and though she still had doubts, she trusted that Zhao Ling'er could indeed save Wan'er.
But when Zhao Ling'er mentioned taking Wan'er to Tianhai, Sheng Minglan quickly pointed out the risks and urged Zhao Ling'er not to do so.
"Minglan, don't worry. I have the means to mobilize all the strength of the Zhao Family to protect Wan'er. My grandfather will support me."
"Although I can't explain the details to you, just know that I will protect her."
Zhao Ling'er replied firmly.
"Alright, since you say so, I trust you. Get here as soon as you can, or send the medicine over. Wan'er doesn't have much time left."
Sheng Minglan said urgently.
"Mm."
Zhao Ling'er nodded, then ended the call.
"Mr. Ye is in seclusion right now. He told me not to disturb him unless it's something important."
"But if I don't disturb him, then I'll be breaking the rules by leaving without informing him."
"Wan'er's situation is critical, but it's not something Mr. Ye is personally involved in. I can't disturb him because of this."
Zhao Ling'er muttered to herself, caught in a dilemma.
Hearing Zhao Ling'er's inner conflict, Ye Yang immediately made the decision to pause his cultivation and go meet with Zhao Ling'er to allow her to go to Luo Wan'er's location.
Though stopping his cultivation now would be a significant loss given his top-tier talents, the loss was negligible compared to the opportunity of having Zhao Ling'er bring back two top-tier Special Constitutions.
Ye Yang had been thinking about how to have Zhao Ling'er or Zhao Qingzhi come into contact with Sheng Minglan and Luo Wan'er, two top-tier Special Constitutions, so they could recognize their physiques and eventually bring them into Kunlun.
Now, this was an opportunity.
Once Zhao Ling'er visited them, she would directly sense the top-tier Special Constitutions of both Sheng Minglan and Luo Wan'er, leading her to consider bringing them to Kunlun.
It would also give Zhao Ling'er a legitimate reason to use Kunlun's power against Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan, this fool who dared covet Ye Yang's woman, was already as good as dead in Ye Yang's eyes.
But as the leader of Kunlun, Ye Yang couldn't just take action against Zhou Yan without reason. He needed a justification.
That justification was something both Ye Yang and Zhao Ling'er needed.
Whether it was Sheng Minglan or Zhao Ling'er, both were only focused on protecting Luo Wan'er, not on dealing with Zhou Yan.
The main reason was Zhou Yan's status.
Even though Zhao Ling'er had become extraordinary by joining Kunlun, she still feared the Zhou Family's power and didn't dare openly oppose Zhou Yan.
The Zhou Family and Yao Family were both top-tier Aristocratic Families, and Zhao Ling'er was afraid that if she acted against Zhou Yan, it might lead to a backlash from the Zhou Family.
After all, if the Zhou Family had Spiritual Aptitude, and Zhao Ling'er destroyed it, Ye Yang might view the Zhao Family as attempting to use Kunlun to solidify its position by eliminating other Spiritual Aptitude holders.
Thus, Zhao Ling'er hadn't considered directly dealing with Zhou Yan but only wanted to use the Zhao Family's current strength to protect Luo Wan'er and make Zhou Yan retreat.
As for Ye Yang, he thought Zhao Ling'er was overthinking it.
Zhou Yan, this bastard who dared to covet his woman, could die a thousand times over. If he took down Zhou Yan and the Zhou Family along with him, he wouldn't care.
There were so many powerful forces on Earth that losing a Zhou Family wouldn't matter.
Now, by meeting with Zhao Ling'er and allowing her to visit Luo Wan'er and Sheng Minglan, Ye Yang had given her a reason to act against Zhou Yan.
As soon as Zhao Ling'er brought Luo Wan'er and Sheng Minglan to him, Ye Yang would have the reason he needed to ask Luo Wan'er if there were any unfinished matters.
With Luo Wan'er's prideful and unyielding nature, she would surely reveal how Zhou Yan had treated her.
Once that happened, Ye Yang would immediately instruct the Zhao Family and Yao Family members who had joined Kunlun to take action against the Zhou Family.
By setting the wheels in motion, Zhao Family and Yao Family would use their Kunlun-powered strength to visit top Aristocratic Families to search for Spiritual Herbs and Special Aptitudes.
Once Ye Yang gave the order to deal with the Zhou Family, they would mobilize their forces and destroy the Zhou Family.
A single Zhou Family wasn't much to worry about, let alone Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan, a small fish, would be crushed without mercy.
