The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot-Chapter 649 - 549 Wen Tinglan: Only Ying Zijin is my sister [1 more]_2
Chapter 649: 549 Wen Tinglan: Only Ying Zijin is my sister [1 more]_2
"Head of the house, that’s Miss Ying Zijin, who broke Miss Lin Qingjia’s record. She’s a distant relative of the Ye Family," said Steward Lin respectfully. "She’s currently a key cultivation target for the Pill Alliance. The Meng Family and the Foo Family have made contact. Should we send someone as well?"
"No need," Lin Jinyun replied with a mere glance, indifferently, "Having Qingjia is enough. The Lin Family doesn’t have so many resources to give to others."
At least for the moment, Miss Ying’s medicine refining ability seemed to fall far short of Lin Qingjia’s.
Therefore, the families that sought to curry favor with her were all mid-sized families within the Ancient Martial World; the Lin, Xie, and Moon families did not make a move.
Once she reached level six, perhaps the Lin Family might consider extending an invitation.
But reaching level six is truly challenging.
There have been level four members acclaimed as geniuses, but they too eventually hit a wall at level six and simply could not advance further.
After buying medicinal materials and returning to the Lin Family, Lin Jinyun hesitated for a long moment: "Qingjia, have you met the Tea Saint?"
"Not yet," Lin Qingjia shook her head, "It’s fine, I will visit again."
Lin Jinyun fell silent.
There were indeed many rare medicinal herbs that only the Tea Saint could cultivate, and she was not selling them.
Even the Xie Family did not dare to snatch them forcefully.
There was an incident where a mid-sized Ancient Martial Arts Family forcefully took a plant cultivated by the Tea Saint.
In the end, the Tea Saint simply burned down that medicinal field and went into closed-door cultivation for ten years.
For the Ancient medical field, those ten years were a significant blow.
That mid-sized family was directly eradicated by the combined forces of the Lin, Xie, and Moon families.
"Father, I need to leave the Ancient Martial World for a while," Lin Qingjia said gently, her lips pursed, "I asked the Head of Taylor Family last time about the mercenaries their family employs, he said they were trained by instructors from Norton University."
"Norton University has sent a few students to Hua Country; he helped me get in touch, and I plan to take a look," she said.
Lin Jinyun’s expression softened, "If there’s a chance, it would indeed be good to make acquaintances."
After interacting with the Taylor Family, Lin Jinyun couldn’t deny that twenty-first-century high technology was indeed very useful.
Maybe it’s time for the Ancient Martial World to introduce some high technology.

On December 18th, students from Norton University arrived at the Imperial Capital.
Ying Zijin had arrived at the school gate early in the morning.
She hadn’t seen Wen Tinglan for over a year.
The youth stepped off the car, dressed in white robes and black trousers, tall and erect like the breeze.
Standing there, he became a scene unto himself.
At 1m88, he stood tall, even among Westerners.
"You’ve grown taller again," Ying Zijin took out the lollipop she had prepared and handed it over, "You’re so much taller than your sister now, it seems you’re well-nourished; that’s a relief."
Wen Tinglan’s hand trembled as he took the candy, and his eyes felt a little sore, "Sis..."
He was suddenly reminded of last winter.
The day was cold, and the moon was large.
The girl stood under the moonlight, her arms full of needle marks.
Even though her own health was so poor, she still offered him candy to comfort him.
That’s why he told everyone that only Ying Zijin was his sister.
Wen Tinglan raised his hand, "Sis, I—"
"Sister! Sister, hello!" A girl suddenly bounced out from behind, reached out before Wen Tinglan, and took Ying Zijin’s hand directly, sparkling eyes, "I’m Adele Milton, 17 years old, a freshman in the Mechanical Department of Norton University."
"Both my parents are deceased, and I have no siblings, left only with a Persian cat and a Scottish Shepherd at home, not much inheritance, just 8 billion US dollars..."
After babbling on, Adele concluded, "Sister, I’m your super cute, super adorable sister-in-law!"
Ying Zijin raised an eyebrow, "Hmm?"
Wen Tinglan’s hand was still suspended in mid-air; he turned his head, his dark eyes deep, "Miss Milton, please do not speak nonsense."
"Wow, that’s so cold-hearted," Adele crossed her arms, "I did join you in blowing up the lab and helped you with the repair costs."
Wen Tinglan, "...I didn’t ask you to blow it up with me."
He was only a sophomore; freshmen were usually led by juniors or seniors.
"Sister, here you go." Adele directly took out a gold brick and slapped it into Ying Zijin’s hand, her spirit soaring, "I really am your adorable brother-in-law."
The golden glow dazzled Li Han’s eyes standing aside.
Is this what a rich lady looks like?
Ying Zijin, of course, didn’t accept it, "Let me take you guys to the snack street for a tour first."
Adele was a foodie; she’d heard early on about the incomparable cuisine of Hua Country and had been craving it all the way on the plane.
She hopped and skipped in front: "Yay!"
Wen Tinglan walked shoulder to shoulder with Ying Zijin, feeling very troubled, "Sister, don’t listen to her nonsense, I only did an experiment with her, and it was just one."
"That’s fine." Ying Zijin patted the young man’s shoulder, her tone unhurried, "You can even charm a lady, quite a feather in your sister’s cap."
Wen Tinglan pursed his lips tightly, his expression somewhat fractured, "Sister, it’s really not like that."
Ying Zijin seemed contemplative, looking down and sending Wen Fengmian a message.
[Dad, Xiao Lan might have just inherited your IQ and might even surpass the original.]
When it came to emotional quotient, Wen Tinglan was lacking as well.
Behind them, Huan and the other two students looked at each other, falling a few steps behind.
They hadn’t expected that Wen Tinglan had an older sister at Imperial Capital University.
"Huan, Adele still got tricked by this Hua Country boy." The male student glanced ahead, whispering, "You guys are the childhood sweethearts; what is this? Stealing someone’s love by force?"
Wen Tinglan’s psychological barriers had already been cured by Yu Xuesheng, no longer resisting social interactions.
But his reserved nature hadn’t changed, always aloof and hard to approach.
Huan didn’t speak, but his unsightly expression said it all.
On the small island where Norton University was located, aside from students, there were a few native families.
Since the first head of these families, they have been graduates of Norton University.
Their descendants can take the entrance examination of Norton University in advance. If they meet the requirements they are admitted directly, and there are also preparatory classes available.
After all, there are too few with the talent for Alchemy and Astrology in the world; most students come from these few native families.
Huan Hershel is one, and so is Adele Milton.
They indeed knew each other since childhood.
Originally, Adele was supposed to join the Astrology System with him.
Huan’s expression turned cold, slowly uttering three words: "Wen Tinglan..."
He had already calculated the time and place to keep Wen Tinglan trapped in Hua Country for good.
Unable to return to Norton University, Wen Tinglan also couldn’t contact Adele.
Adele was going back to the Milton Family.
Those two, from now on, will have nothing to do with each other.

The news of General Television Station, Imperial Capital University, and Chuguang Media jointly releasing the third season of "Accept the punishment of the Academic God!" quickly spread online.
Aside from the five people from Norton University, Imperial Capital University also sent five students led by Ying Zijin, with Li Han among them.
After obtaining the consent of both universities, General Television Station released the personal introductions and photos of the ten students.
[What did I just see? Norton University!]
[Is Norton University finally going to lift the veil of mystery? Looking forward to it, please give us more this season, and then give more screen time to God Ying, she doesn’t even have a Weibo account [split]]
[Norton University is still Norton University! Awesome!]
[Look at this, Huan Hershel, damn impressive, 19 years old, double enrollment at Norton University and the Royal Academy of Arts in O Continent, but why are tarot cards and watching stars listed as special skills? What kind of skills are those?]
[To be fair, with dual enrollment, in terms of education, Huan really crushes Ying Zijin, there are always better people out there.]
Norton University, double enrollment at the Royal Academy of Arts in O Continent.
One represents the pinnacle of scholarship, the other the pinnacle of the arts.
A person is only allowed one enrollment, dual enrollments are never permitted.
Unless two schools come to an agreement, making a step back for each to carve out an exception.
Huan Hershel is this one and only exception.
