Chapter 638 The Sage: Ying Zijing's Terrifying Connections [1st Update]

The WeChat group that Sang Yu belonged to immediately exploded with activity.

[No way, Shaoren Hospital is a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, how could they sell counterfeit goods?]

【I just placed an order for whitening face masks.】

[Where is your order record? How did it become a counterfeit product?]

Sang Yu curled the corners of her lips and quickly sent out all her order records.

She did spend a lot of money at Shaoren Hospital, totaling 500,000 yuan in just over a year.

Sang Yu continued typing.

Sisters, haven't you noticed that the essence in whitening masks has become thinner? It's even a bit transparent; it used to be milky white. After using this mask, I got red spots on my face.

Sang Yu then sent over another photo of her previous allergy.

Only part of her cheek was shown, and her skin was clearly visible.

It seems to have become thinner...

[Oh no, I'm going to cancel the order right now, and then I'll tell my friend not to buy it.]

There are quite a few WeChat groups for this skincare and beauty brand, Huaxiangrong.

The group owner and administrators are responsible for bidding on behalf of others and reselling the items at high prices.

Information on the internet always travels very fast.

One tells ten, ten tell a hundred.

Public opinion can be extremely damaging.

Sang Yu was content.

This idea came from a friend of hers who works as a personal shopper.

Her friend and another personal shopper shop have been in competition.

The other purchasing agent's sales were better than her friend's.

Her friend then hired several people to buy products from that reseller, replace them with counterfeit goods, and then spread the word in WeChat groups.

Over time, no one went to that purchasing agent store anymore.

Customers naturally trust other customers more than the shop owners.

This time, Sang Yu was merely imitating it.

Sang Yu wouldn't care what others said after that.

Regardless of the circumstances, given what has happened, the legendary doctor, as the founder of the Huaxiangrong brand, will surely appear.

She was quite curious to see who this miracle doctor was.

Such a big ego, yet they refuse to make house calls even when patients need them; they have no medical ethics whatsoever.

After doing all this, Sang Yu logged into Weibo.

She joined the overseas branch of Chuguang Media, but also opened domestic social media accounts.

Sang Yu has a good image and knows how to do marketing.

Before joining Chuguang Media, she had already played a very popular role in an international blockbuster.

So he has quite a few fans.

[@SangyuV: I ran into President Ying while traveling in Florence today. She's even more beautiful in person than in photos.]

Below came a chorus of envious voices.

[Sangsang met Ying Shen, why didn't she take a picture with him!]

Wow, Ying Shen has gone to O Continent again! He's so busy!

Sang Yu was quite curious about who the mixed-race little girl next to Ying Zijing was, and almost wanted to post it online.

But she was also quite sensible.

She had only been with Chuguang Media for a month, so naturally the boss wanted to curry favor with her.

The boss's secrets were not something she could pry into.

**

On the other side.

Ying Zijin, with Sinai, was still wandering around Florence.

Sinai's smartwatch comes with a built-in facial recognition network that can filter out all girls aged 19 to 20 within a 10-kilometer radius and automatically search for information they have left online.

After filtering through the options, Sinai narrowed down his targets to a few.

However, she didn't have high hopes.

She searched for ten years, but still couldn't find him.

“Ah Ying, after I take you into the city, I may not be able to keep you with me forever.” Sinai looked up. “I need to take my sister-in-law’s DNA out for a paternity test.”

"It's nothing," Ying Zijing said gently. "You need to take good care of yourself."

Sinai pursed her lips.

This was the second time she had heard such words.

Suwen had said the same thing to her.

Therefore, she couldn't just stand by and watch Suwen remain unconscious.

Sinai hesitated for a moment: "Ah Ying, I really think you're quite like my sister-in-law. Why don't you try it out?"

Ying Zijing clenched her fists, then released them, and said calmly, "Let's talk about it when we get there."

She had no interest in her background.

She has Wen Fengmian and Wen Tinglan, and also Fu Yunshen.

Going to the city of the world was just to put an end to some things.

Sinai didn't respond; instead, he stared intently at a spot.

Ying Zijin looked up.

He was a young man wearing a white shirt, with a perfect physique.

Her temperament was very clean, like warm sunlight.

The man stopped and turned around as well.

“Mr. Yu,” Ying Zijing nodded slightly, “I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

Yu Xuesheng was also somewhat surprised. He stepped forward and smiled slightly: "Miss Ying, what a coincidence. I just arrived in Florence and was planning to go to a concert to relax."

"A concert?" Ying Zijing recalled for a moment, "The one where Ling Yu was also there?"

Yu Xuesheng nodded, still smiling, "Yes."

Qin Lingyu doesn't act, but with her top-notch singing and dancing skills, she has become famous across half the globe.

One of her tour concert stops is Florence.

Besides Qin Lingyu, there are also some internationally renowned singers.

Tickets sold out as soon as they went on sale.

The cheapest ticket has been resold by scalpers for $1,000.

"Ah, I know you!" Sinai suddenly exclaimed, "You're the second hypnotist who treated my sister-in-law!"

About eight years ago, the Leinger family took Lady Suwen out of the City of the World in search of a way to awaken her.

They searched for many extraordinary people, including Yu Xuesheng.

Yu Xuesheng was only twenty years old at the time, but she was already the second-ranked hypnotist on the NOK forum.

Although he did not awaken Suwen, he did bring some consciousness to Suwen.

Yu Xuesheng was taken aback: "She's your sister-in-law?"

He was deeply impressed by the lady's illness.

So he remembered that the lady had a younger sister, who was already an adult.

“Hmm—” Sinai changed the subject. “She is indeed my sister-in-law. Last year we were discussing whether to invite you to take a look at her again.”

Yu Xuesheng smiled faintly: "I'm on vacation right now, so I'm free anytime."

Ying Zijing took out her phone: "Has Mr. Yu booked a hotel?"

Yu Xuesheng covered her mouth with her fist and coughed lightly: "Yun Shen has already made the reservation for me. He will be here in a little while, so there's no need to trouble Miss Ying."

Ying Zijin remained silent for a moment.

She seemed to have forgotten to tell Fu Yunshen that she would be staying in Florence for a few days.

Yu Xuesheng: "He's here to arrest people."

Ying Zijin: "..."

She picked up Sinai without expression, turned around and left.

Yu Xuesheng chuckled.

Sinai didn't struggle this time: "Ah Ying, you know so many people, it's like you know everyone."

She truly hadn't expected to run into Yu Xuesheng at Ying Zijin's place.

"It's alright." Ying Zijing lowered her head. "You haven't finished talking about the sage yet."

“Oh, there are twenty-two sages in the Sages’ Academy,” Sinai said. “You should be familiar with their names, because I’ve seen tarot cards here as well.”

Ying Zijin narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly: "Is it related to tarot cards?"

“Yes, these twenty-two sages represent the twenty-two Major Arcana cards in the Tarot,” Sinai continued. “I have only met Her Majesty the Queen.”

"The Queen is the fourth card in the Major Arcana, so Her Majesty the Queen is also known as the Fourth Sage."

Ying Zijing pondered for a long time: "I understand now, the Tarot cards were created by your World City."

There are many different theories about the origin of Tarot cards.

Some say it originated in Africa, some say it's in the East, and others say it's from ancient civilizations.

In any case, the exact time when Tarot cards appeared has always been vague and remains a mystery to this day.

However, some scholars in the 18th century suggested that the word Tarot should be derived from the Egyptian words tar and ro.

tar represents "the Way" and ro signifies "king".

It refers to the "royal way".

Therefore, the original meaning of "Tarot" refers to being a king.

It now appears that Tarot cards also originated from the City of the World.

No one knows exactly how many people like Simon Brand came to Earth from the City of the World throughout history.

“Yes, people in our City of the World also use tarot cards. Real tarot cards can indeed predict some things,” Sinai said. “The tarot cards are drawn based on the images and characteristics of the twenty-two sages.”

"Without the twenty-two sages, the Tarot cards could never possess supernatural abilities."

Ying Zijing raised her eyes: "Besides living a long time, what other characteristics do sages have?"

“They have special abilities.” Sinai thought for a moment, then hesitated. “But I don’t know exactly what their special abilities are. Sages don’t usually show themselves.”

"The Sage Queen and the Sage Pope occasionally come out for a tour, but we always keep a distance and cannot get close to their carriages."

"And when they parade, no one is allowed to look up."

“Living a long life and possessing special abilities,” Ying Zijing pondered. “If these two conditions are met, then one is a sage?”

Sinai scratched her head: "Isn't that amazing?"

Immortal.

They also possess abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people.

He is practically a god.

All the inhabitants of the city of the world kneel and worship when they see a sage.

This includes the Lengel family and the Jade family.

Even the patriarch must unconditionally obey orders when he sees a sage.

In all the world's cities, the power of life and death rests with the sages.

“Hmm.” Ying Zijin nodded slowly. “If these are the only characteristics of a sage, then I should know a few of them.”

Sinai was no longer calm: "Know...know? Or...how many?"

The Leungol family wields absolute power in the World City because of their close ties with the Academy of Sages.

The first ancestor of the Leinger family was a general under a sage.

But that was over a thousand years ago.

The Leinger family has been around for so many generations, and their relationship with the sage is not as close as it used to be.

No one in the city of the world knows how long the sage can live.

Sinai was puzzled: "You've never been to the City of the World, how do you know the Sage?"

Ying Zijing thought for two seconds: "We were friends before, so are we considered online friends now?"

Sinai: "..."

She almost believed it.

The last time she saw the Wise Queen was three years ago.

The other dozen or so sages never came out at all.

It's quite an achievement to even meet a sage.

know?

No one in the Leinger family dared to claim they knew the Sage.

The two returned to the hotel.

Sinai hugged her pillow, feeling very sleepy: "Aying, I'm going to take a nap."

Ying Zijing didn't look up: "Go ahead, and remember to take your medicine."

She concocted some alchemical potions for Sinai, which could only temporarily stabilize her body and could not cure her completely.

Ying Zijing turned on her computer and logged into the NOK forum using her founder account.

However, in the friends section, all three profile pictures are grayed out.

This is the first time that 10 is offline.

Before, whenever she logged on, 10 would bombard her with messages.

At the same time, Ying Zijin also learned the meaning of the nickname "10".

The tenth of the twenty-two sages, the sage hermit.

Special ability: absolute concealment.

Nobody can find him.

Including her.

The establishment of the Hidden Alliance was initiated by 10 who took the initiative to approach her.

She and 10 didn't meet very often; he was the one who usually came to see her.

He has never said where he came from.

She just always believed that there are some people on Earth who can live a very long time.

Therefore, aside from 10, the other two founders were also sages.

The "hidden" in the Hidden Alliance represents not only being hidden from the world, but also being a hermit.

That's why the login icon for the NOK forum looks exactly like the Hermit card in Tarot.

Ying Zijing browsed the posts and then left the NOK forum.

We'll meet sooner or later.

**

Florence courthouse.

Ying Zijing's kick was quite forceful; Elizabeth has only just woken up.

She never expected that after waking up, she would face imprisonment.

An attempted murder outside the airport, using a gun, is a crime that can never be cleared of.

Elizabeth was still a little dazed.

She was, after all, a member of the Laurent family, and had received training in horseback riding and target shooting from a young age.

At such close range, you can absolutely hit the target every time.

But why is Ying Zijing unharmed?!

Moreover, she seemed to see the bullet stop in mid-air.

"Dad!" Elizabeth stared at the shackles on her hands, completely frantic. "What on earth is going on?"

“Elizabeth.” Brewer’s eyes were lifeless and his voice was wooden. “That Miss Ying, she is the First Researcher. The Master even personally prepared dinner for her and invited her to be his guest.”

Please refer to chapters 79 and 80, where Yu Xuesheng says he has a patient who looks a lot like Ying Zijin.

The wiring has been laid for a while, and I'm afraid everyone might forget about it.

It seems like everyone's been curious for a long time about who's behind the 10 account, lol.

Tarot card fortune telling is something to be taken seriously, just for fun. You must believe in science. _(:з」∠)_
