When Yi Wenxue said that, everyone was stunned.
Ruan Xingyao asked suspiciously, “Seventeenth Senior Brother, are you serious?”
Wasn’t that a bit too unbelievable?
Then again, if her soul could come to this world, what else couldn’t happen?
Yi Wenxue said, “It is indeed quite unbelievable, but that’s what I’ve learned.”
Chen Yu asked, “Can you tell us which estate it was?”
To put it bluntly, he wanted to know which family had such a mysterious ‘ancestor.’
He had to report something like this.
Yi Wenxue answered, “In Ming City — the Yi family.”
You Huan’s eyes widened slightly; she seemed hesitant.
After a while, she asked, “In your descendants, is there a girl about our age named Yi Yang?”
Yi Wenxue replied, “I’ll have to ask.”
Saying that, he took out a cellphone and sent a message.
The person he contacted was the first one he met after arriving here — a man called Qi Junhe, who claimed to be his butler.
He hadn’t had time to talk much with him since he had rushed to find Ruan Xingyao right away.
Soon, Qi Junhe replied: indeed, there was a girl named Yi Yang in the Yi family of Ming City.
You Huan’s expression grew even more shocked. “If I’m not mistaken, the Yi family is one of Ming City’s hidden clans — a top-tier aristocratic family that has stood for a hundred years.”
Compared to them, her own You family was basically a bunch of nouveau riche.
She couldn’t help staring at Yi Wenxue, dying to ask how he had become the ancestor of such a family.
Yi Wenxue said, “From what I’ve seen of the estate, you’re right.”
Just that one manor — in both its scale and garden design — was clearly of the highest class.
Every blade of grass, every tree and flower, was rare and precious.
You Huan looked toward Ruan Xingyao and said, “Xingxing, do you think maybe all of your senior brothers and sisters ended up as ancestors of families like that?”
Ruan Xingyao was dumbfounded by her speculation.
Scratching her head, she said, “No way… could they really be that amazing?”
You Huan said, “It’s not impossible!”
She turned to Chen Yu. “Why not let Chen Yu look into it? Maybe he’ll find a pattern soon!”
Ruan Xingyao was tempted by the idea, her expression full of excitement.
But Chen Yu had to pour a bucket of cold water on the two girls.
He said, “Let me report this first. Once we’ve confirmed Mr. Yi’s identity, then we can start looking into the rest.”
You couldn’t blame him for being cautious — this whole situation was simply too unbelievable.
Yi Wenxue’s sudden appearance — and the fact that he turned out to be the ancestor of a hidden aristocratic family — made the national census feel like a complete joke.
Although Ruan Xingyao was a little disappointed, she still accepted Chen Yu’s suggestion.
After all, she believed that those she wanted to see, she would definitely see again.
Just then, Yi Wenxue’s phone buzzed.
It was a message from Qi Junhe, asking whether he needed someone to pick him up and bring him back to the estate.
Yi Wenxue turned to Ruan Xingyao and asked, “Yao’er, would you like to come back with me?”
Ruan Xingyao was curious about what the manor he mentioned might look like.
But after some thought, she realized she’d still be busy with matters at the dog factory for the next few days.
Staying at a nearby hotel would be far more convenient.
So Ruan Xingyao said, “No, let’s talk about it after this period is over.”
Yi Wenxue nodded in understanding and replied to Qi Junhe’s message — since Ruan Xingyao wasn’t going back with him, he wouldn’t return either.
The group then left the restaurant and headed toward the hotel that Jiang Xuan had arranged for them.
After unpacking, it was already three in the morning.
Ruan Xingyao soon drifted into a deep sleep.
Over the following days, Ruan Xingyao went to the stadium daily.
After several days of examination, 96% of the dogs sold from the dog factory had been sent to her for inspection.
Working together with the Ming City police, Ruan Xingyao quickly compiled a list of those who had purchased dogs and taken them out of Ming City.
At that point, the crisis in Ming City was essentially resolved.
Ruan Xingyao instructed Chen Yu to contact the police departments in other cities according to the list, asking them to first check whether the dogs were still alive.
She would then personally travel to those cities to properly take care of the remaining dogs.
The Ming City police were finally able to release an announcement, allowing the frightened residents to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, details about other cities were kept confidential.
The internet was soon filled with cheers and excitement.
[ Finally! Only heaven knows what these past days have been like — I didn’t even dare to go outside, afraid I’d run into one of those creepy little dogs! Now I can finally go out again! I’m going to make up for all the hotpot and barbecue I’ve missed! ]
[ Same here! Every time I saw a cat or a dog on the street, I’d panic. Now I can finally pet cats and dogs again without worry! ]
[ It had to be our amazing Streamer Starry! She saved an entire city from crisis! Thank you, Streamer Starry! ]
Before long, a hashtag — #ThankYouStreamerStarry — shot to the top of the trending list.
Many residents of Ming City even tracked down the hotel where Ruan Xingyao and her group were staying, bringing them all kinds of food, drinks, and gifts, just wanting them to feel the warmth and gratitude of the people of Ming City.
Those who had personally received Ruan Xingyao’s help were especially enthusiastic — they began posting countless heartfelt essays online, praising her to the heavens and back.
Of course, plenty of people also took photos and videos, capturing Ruan Xingyao along with Ruan Xingzhuo, You Huan, Yi Wenxue, and Chen Yu — even Jiang Xuan and his team weren’t spared.
With the crisis now over, netizens finally began to relax — and joke around again.
[All the handsome guys in this city must’ve been handed over to the government! Who else gets weak in the knees for a guy who’s both soft and wolfish at the same time?!]
[Who else is obsessed with Streamer Starry’s little brother and his girlfriend? Even through the screen I can feel the pink bubbles between them! God, when will I get a sweet romance like that?!]
[Okay but who’s that white-haired hottie? Did I see that right — he’s doing the same thing as Streamer Starry? Does that mean he has the same kind of power as her?]
[I heard Streamer Starry call him ‘Seventeenth Senior Brother’! The person above might actually be right!]
More and more people started digging into Yi Wenxue’s background.
At the same time, Ruan Xingyao’s haters seized the opportunity to stir up trouble.
[Oh, look who’s here! Didn’t you all say your precious Streamer Starry was the only one in the whole internet who could read animals’ minds? Guess that claim just fell apart, huh?]
