Chapter 787 World 335
Upon hearing this question, Su Xiaodi's face showed a mix of awkwardness and malice: "No matter what, Su Wan'er is my sister. What is that wicked woman Wei Linghua?"
"You dare to silence me? Humph, I'll make sure she never knows the answer she wants."
Shen Ruyin could only say that she was not surprised at all.
Although Wei Linghua is Su Xiaodi's blood-related older sister, he has been a spoiled brat since childhood. As long as Wei Linghua doesn't completely subdue him in one go, he will cause trouble for everyone to see.
However, when Su Wan'er was at home, her younger brother always bullied her. Unexpectedly, now that he was nowhere to be seen, he found out a little bit of sincerity in her.
He probably knows Shen Ruwan the most among his family members.
After Su Xiaodi finished speaking, seeing that Shen Ruyin didn't say anything, he leaned closer hesitantly and asked, "Sister Yinyin, do you think it's possible for me to also cultivate immortality?"
His eyes were filled with anticipation as he waved his fist in the air: "I'm going to beat that wicked woman Wei Linghua to a pulp and make her taste what it's like to be unable to speak."
Shen Ruyin didn't have any testing equipment on her, so she didn't know if he had spiritual roots. She said, "To seek immortality, you have to go to the sect you want to join when they are accepting disciples. Most sects have entrance tests to see your spiritual roots and many other things."
"If you want to try, you can figure it out yourself; I can't take you with me."
Su Xiaodi knew that Shen Ruyin would never go along with him, so he pouted but didn't make a fuss: "Then, Sister Yinyin, which sect do you belong to?"
Shen Ruyin looked down at him: "Supreme Sect".
“That’s a good name,” Su Xiaodi said, seemingly quite satisfied. “It sounds impressive.”
“You don’t need to tell me,” Shen Ruyin noticed the commotion in the neighboring yard and reminded Su Xiaodi, “Your parents are looking for you, go back.”
"Wait a minute," Su Xiaodi had something to ask, but Shen Ruyin gently pushed him to the door.
The door, which he had simply closed earlier, was now impossible to open no matter what he did, so Su Xiaodi had no choice but to give up and turn around to go home.
Shen Ruwan dispelled the concealment spells on her body, lost in thought.
Shen Ruyin asked, "What are you thinking about, sister?"
“I was thinking,” Shen Ruwan said with a hint of malice, “that couple dotes on Su Xiaodi so much. If I take him away and make it difficult for them to see each other again, will they miss him as much as they do Wei Linghua?”
“It’s a bit difficult,” Shen Ruyin said honestly. “Wei Linghua was sent out by them voluntarily. They know whether she is safe or not, and they can still see her occasionally.”
“But if Su Xiaodi suddenly disappears, they might be terribly worried at first, but after a few years, they will eventually forget. If there are new children, they might forget even faster.”
Shen Ruwan felt a little disappointed and decisively gave up the idea: "Let's pack up early and go back to the sect early tomorrow."
Shen Ruyin blinked: "Does your sister have plans for tonight?"
Shen Ruwan said, "I plan to go into the city tonight."
"Would you like me to accompany my sister?" Shen Ruyin asked. "Should we stay a couple more days?"
“No need,” Shen Ruwan replied, “those people aren’t worth our time.”
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Shen Ruyin didn't say anything directly, but planned to follow her from a distance that night to avoid any problems along the way.
After deciding on their next itinerary, they first went to the graves of Shen's parents to pay their respects, and then set up a formation there.
After the formation was successfully completed, apart from the two of them, everyone else saw that the place was empty, and even if they crossed it directly, they could not find the stone tablet.
Back home, Shen Ruyin put her parents' memorial tablets and the altar into her bracelet. At midnight, they used a spirit stone as the core of the array to hide the small courtyard of their home.
From now on, this courtyard will not be seen or damaged by anyone unless they wish it to be.
The spirit stones circulating inside also ensure the cleanliness of the courtyard, preventing it from becoming covered in dust due to lack of disturbance.
Once everything was settled, it was time for Shen Ruwan to go into the city.
Shen Ruyin held Yuxing, who had just returned from a day of running wild outside, and stared intently at Shen Ruwan.
Shen Ruwan found it somewhat amusing, but reluctantly conceded, "Let's go, you can come with me."
Shen Ruyin was delighted and released the spirit boat, which went into the city with her.
After entering the city, Shen Ruwan found the main courtyard of the Ninghou Mansion with ease. After disembarking from the spirit boat, she quickly returned.
Shen Ruyin was surprised to see a recording stone in her hand: "Did you put it when you came back last time, sister? Wei Linghua also came back, how come she didn't notice?"
“Perhaps she’s not skilled enough? Or maybe it’s because I placed it in the bedroom of the Marquis of Ning and his wife,” Shen Ruwan said to her while her hands kept moving, activating the image in the recording stone, speeding it up, and only showing the parts that interested her.
"My lord," said the Lady of Ning, who bore a striking resemblance to Shen Ruwan, "when I entered the palace this time, Her Majesty the Empress brought up the matter of the marriage again, and asked me to temporarily delay it by saying that Linghua was not at home."
"But saying the same thing every time isn't a solution. What do you suggest we do now?"
Marquis Ning sat on the couch, drinking tea: "What's the rush? We'll get married when we find our biological daughter, won't we?"
"As long as Linghua is still alive and well in the Immortal Sect, the royal family won't dare to push us too hard."
Lady Ning frowned: "My lord, isn't this too ostentatious? After all, we are royalty."
"Moreover," she glanced at Ning Hou, "we don't even know where Wan'er is now, or if she's still alive. Do you think the royal family will accept this as an excuse?"
"Whether you like it or not, it doesn't matter," Ning Hou said, then glanced outside before lowering his voice and saying meaningfully, "In any case, it won't be long before a 'Wei Wan'er' comes home. Just wait patiently for the child to call you mother."
Shen Ruyin stroked her chin: "Did Marquis Ning deliberately raise a 'daughter'?"
The next moment, Lady Ning asked the same question in the scene.
Marquis Ning nodded, but did not say anything more about the matter.
There were a few other things worth hearing later, but none of them were as important as this one.
Shen Ruyin was a little suspicious. Was it because the plot realized that Su Wan'er, an important character, was no longer there, and that it had been steered back to the main storyline?
But then I thought, what does this have to do with the plot?
As long as Marquis Ning values Wei Linghua and wants to protect her, he can always "find" her, whether it's Su Wan'er, Zhang Wan'er, Liu Wan'er, or even seventeen or eighteen-year-old Wan'er.
Of course, it's more accurate to say they created something than searched for it.
Find a woman who looks similar, or is simply beautiful, to make up for her background.
As long as the Su family approves and the Marquis of Ning approves, the matter will be settled.
Even if someone questions whether this woman who suddenly appeared looks right, it doesn't matter.
Girls change a lot as they grow up, so why can't they become more beautiful as they grow up?
So what if you don't recognize the people from your previous village? You can always make up an excuse by saying you accidentally fell and lost your memory, or something else.
Whether something like this can succeed depends not on whether the reason is outrageous, but on whether the listener believes it.
As long as the royal family recognizes this daughter of the Marquis of Ning, it doesn't matter who says what.
After all, what they want is to marry into this identity, not necessarily to a specific person.
"Sister, should we try to find this girl?"
