Card: I Rebuild Five Thousand Years of Chinese Civilization in Another World

Chapter 226 The Meeting of the Third Elders

Seeing his resolute attitude, the Lin family patriarch's friend asked him, "What do you want to do?"

The Heavenly Maiden Card Maker was well protected by Marquis Weiyuan, and even if someone wanted to make a move against her, they never found an opportunity.

The Lin family's business is already on the verge of collapse. Could it be that his friend is planning to take a risk and make a move against the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker?

If the news leaks, can the Lin family withstand the wrath of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion?

The head of the Lin family was also aware of the Lin family's situation. He told his friend, "I will not take action against her for the time being, but I will try to see her."

"If we can reach an agreement with her, that would be wonderful!"

Many members of the various noble families in Lingdu shared the same thoughts as the head of the Lin family. They tried every means to contact Xie Yuwei, but were all intercepted by the Ministry of Education of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.

The department's stance is firm: no one is allowed to disturb students participating in the ranking competition unless the students themselves wish to.

Xie Yuwei was under the special protection of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, and no information from the outside world could disturb her.

None of the major families in Lingdu expected the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion to value Xie Yuwei so much, but considering Xie Yuwei's abilities, they felt it was only natural.

The higher-ups in Lingdu were all paying close attention to Xie Yuwei's movements. Half a month later, Xie Yuwei finally came out of her room.

In the past two weeks, she has developed another advanced seal and ten advanced array plates.

With this seal, Card Hall can reproduce more high-level cards.

Just as Xie Yuwei emerged from seclusion, the Third Elder of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was the first to find her.

When the Third Elder appeared in front of Xie Yuwei, Xie Yuwei blinked in confusion.

The Third Elder introduced himself to her, saying, "I am the Third Elder of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, in charge of the defense of the Ling Kingdom."

Upon hearing his words, Xie Yuwei instantly understood why he had come.

Knowing that this person was her mother's superior, Xie Yuwei was very polite to him: "Third Elder, I have long heard of your name. You have come for the barrier of the Southern Wilderness, right?"

The Third Elder nodded and said, "Yes and no!"

Xie Yuwei looked at him with a puzzled expression.

The Third Elder said to her, "I am not unfamiliar with you. Your mother has often mentioned you to me over the years."

Xie Yuwei smiled without saying a word. The original owner's mother had mentioned the original owner to him, not her.

She is a completely different person from the original owner of this body.

Like the original owner's mother, the Third Elder was unaware that the Xie Yuwei before him was no longer the original person. He continued to say to Xie Yuwei, "The new type of barrier you developed has been completed in the Southern Wilderness, and its defensive power is several times greater than before."

"Originally, given the current situation, the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion was already facing a resource crisis, and the human race's defenses were greatly reduced. Tiansheng City was the first place that the human race would abandon."

"Now that the Southern Wilderness has the barrier you set up, it can continue to exist for hundreds of years."

Xie Yuwei looked at the Third Elder in surprise, not expecting him to say these things to her.

The Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is short of array points; is it facing a resource crisis?

I wonder what materials the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion needs to refine the array core, and whether there are any other resources that can be used as substitutes.

Xie Yuwei had many thoughts on her mind, but she remained calm and composed when facing the Third Elder.

She looked at the Third Elder and asked, "Third Elder, did you come to see me today just to say these things?"

The Third Elder sighed and said solemnly to Xie Yuwei, "One of the reasons I came here today is to talk to you about the Southern Wilderness Barrier. You took the initiative to bring up the reconstruction of the Southern Wilderness Barrier, which must be because you want to help the human race survive in this world."

"Since you have such a kind heart, why not design a barrier for the Heavenly Fortress Battlefield as well, to protect the safety of the human race's stronghold?"

"Of course, the Imperial Preceptor's Office will not let you work for nothing. You can make any request to the Imperial Preceptor's Office, and as long as the Imperial Preceptor's Office can do it, we will definitely agree to it."

Xie Yuwei looked enlightened upon hearing this; it turned out to be for the purpose of creating a defensive barrier.

The Tianlei Battlefield is the front line of the human race, where countless warriors fight against monsters for the human race. If she can greatly help the warriors on the battlefield, she will certainly do so without hesitation.

but--

Jie Yuwei said to the Third Elder, "I can design the barrier for the Southern Wilderness because I understand its general geographical location."

"Every key point of the barrier incorporates the natural power of the local area, which is why the Southern Wilderness Barrier is so strong."

"I've never been to the Tianlei Battlefield, how would I know about its conditions?"

Upon hearing Xie Yuwei's words, the Third Elder eagerly asked, "You mean that if you knew the situation of the Heavenly Fortress Battlefield, you would be willing to design a barrier for it?"

Xie Yuwei nodded.

She is currently participating in the academy's ranking competition and cannot leave Lingdu for the time being.

Having received her answer, the Third Elder tentatively asked, "If the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion wants you to go to the Heavenly Fortress Battlefield to survey its geographical location after the ranking competition ends, would you be willing to go?"

Without hesitation, Xie Yuwei replied, "Of course I'm willing."

She was willing to do her part for the soldiers on the battlefield.

She also knew the importance of a defensive barrier to the human race.

When the Third Elder saw that she agreed so readily, he relaxed completely, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

He sincerely said to Xie Yuwei, "You are a good child."

Xie Yuwei's lips twitched. She went to the Tianlei battlefield not because she wanted to be a good child. This person was treating her like a child.

After the Third Elder got Xie Yuwei's consent as he wished, he told her about the Lin family.

He told Xie Yuwei about the Lin family's situation, and finally said to her, "Although the Lin family is unaware of the existence of you three siblings, the head of the Lin family has been trying to get close to you recently."

"He is trying to get close to the Heavenly Maiden Card Maker through various channels. He is extremely greedy. You'd better not acknowledge him, lest you get entangled with the Lin family and be sucked dry."

Xie Yuwei knew that the Third Elder meant well, so she said to him, "I understand, thank you for telling me this, Third Elder."

The Third Elder nodded: "You are students of the Academy. No matter what happens, the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion will always be your support."

After the Third Elder finished discussing the barrier between the Southern Wilderness and the Heavenly Fortress, he brought up other matters: "In recent years, the National Preceptor's Mansion has been facing a shortage of resources. Your 'Complete Guide to Spiritual Plants' published on the exchange has given the Seventh Elder a lot of inspiration."

"He would like to discuss the 'Complete Encyclopedia of Spiritual Plants' with you. I wonder if you could spare some time to meet with him?"

Xie Yuwei thought that the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion had always served the human race. If the "Complete Book of Spiritual Plants" could be promoted and spread to various parts of the continent through the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion, it might bring some hope to the human race.

These are things she has always wanted to do.

Thinking of this situation, she said to the Third Elder, "I have time tonight, you can arrange for the Seventh Elder to meet with me."

The Third Elder was pleasantly surprised, never expecting Xie Yuwei to be such an approachable person.
