Chapter 302: I

And these gifts are still just a trifle? They simply can't imagine how shocking the Crown Prince's personally delivered gifts would be!

Ye Qingran lifted the corner of her eyebrow and said, "I'll take the gifts; tell him there's no need for anyone to come."

The crowd: "…"

The tone was full of disdain—what's going on this time?

Hei Sha forced a bitter smile.

I knew Miss Ye would say that. Miss Ye is most afraid of the Crown Prince clinging to her. She runs as far as she can each time, but the Crown Prince never gives up, getting more daring with each encounter…

"Wow! Mother, these gifts were actually all for you!"

"So many gifts! That uncle is really generous!" Fu Qianchen praised outwardly, but silently noted it down against his Father Lord. He finally understood why Mother refused to marry the Father Lord. It turned out the Father Lord was too stingy. His Father Lord, not even a hundred boxes of gifts—perhaps not even a hundred taels of silver—seemed ever given to Mother.

His Father Lord is clearly wealthy, yet still so miserly—truly a solitary stinginess!

No, he must go back and properly teach the Father Lord, to set him on the right path so he won't be so stingy again!

This uncle looks very powerful, so rich and generous—Mother wouldn't marry him, would she?

Fu Qianchen felt a surge of anxiety. He hurriedly asked, "Mother, you wouldn't marry the uncle who gave you so many gifts, would you?"

Ye Qingran laughed at the question, "Why do you ask?"

"Because he's so generous!"

"No. Your mother is not that shallow kind of person."

Fu Qianchen silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately Mother isn't shallow; otherwise the Father Lord would have been out of the picture long ago.

"Miss Ye, you should quickly put these gifts away; I'm afraid someone might have ulterior motives," Hei Sha deliberately glanced toward the Lin Family direction, speaking with a pointed implication.

Lin Zhishang and the others, who were so imposing and excited earlier, now felt equally embarrassed.

The servants Lin Zhishang summoned to move the gifts stood at the edge of the pile, unable to leave or stay—an extremely awkward predicament.

Everyone looked at the Lin Family, showing a keenly interested expression.

It was assumed the Crown Prince of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao sent so many gifts for Lin Xueyan, but no one could have guessed that wasn't the case at all! These gifts were for Ye Qingran.

Especially just now, Lin Xueyan even instructed the servants to move the gifts.

They truly felt embarrassed on Lin Xueyan's behalf.

"Lin Xueyan just now looked so confident that I almost truly believed the gifts were for her. Turns out they were for Ye Qingran! This is just unbearably awkward…"

"All that fuss, and it turned out to be a blunder. The Crown Prince must have done it on purpose, right? Gifts meant for Ye Qingran ended up at the Lin Family gate, and he ambiguously claimed they were for the most dazzling woman of Xiliang City…"

"I have to admit, the Xuan Yuan Crown Prince really knows how to play! I feel embarrassed for Lin Xueyan."

…

A chorus of commentary reached Lin Xueyan's ears, filling every pore of her body with embarrassment. Especially the sneering sarcasm in people's eyes made her wish she could crawl into a crack in the ground!

She stared at Ye Qingran with a cold, vicious glare, her inner hatred burning like raging fire.

Why again Ye Qingran?

Five years ago, she stole the title of Xiliang Cheng First Beauty from her; five years later, she came to snatch the gifts that should have been hers!

Ye Qingran truly is a shameless scoundrel!

She wants to take everything from her!

She deeply regrets that five years ago she showed mercy and didn't watch her die with her own eyes!

Sure enough, a calamity that lingers for millennia!

Ye Qingran felt Lin Xueyan's hateful gaze and returned it, flashing a teasing smile at her.

"Ah, I told you, these gifts were given to me by Little Luo Luo, yet you refuse to believe it, mock me, and even plan to move the gifts into the house…"

After Ye Qingran said that with a playful tone, the Lin Family's already sour expressions grew even more displeased.

Ye Qingran shifted her intent, and in front of Lin Xueyan and all the Lin Family, she sucked all the gifts piled at the Lin Family gate into a void.

It was like a resounding slap to the Lin Family, especially to Lin Xueyan's face!

Watching helplessly as so many treasures were taken by Ye Qingran, the Lin Family felt blood drip in their hearts.

"The duck that got to the mouth just flew away!"

For the Lin Family, it was undoubtedly a loss of both fame and fortune.

Lin Zhishang's lips turned ashen, even cracking.

He felt a pang of pain!

One hundred boxes of treasures!

In his pleasant imagination just now, tomorrow the entire Central Region would know that the Crown Prince of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao gave gifts to the Lin Family's Lin Xueyan, and the Lin Family would become wildly famous!

Who could have thought it was just a fleeting dream!

Lin Xuewei was truly seething with rage. Ye Qingran exposed her misjudgment, making her lose face, and now she even contested Crown Prince Luo's gifts?

How can Ye Qingran be so shameless?!

Her sister is so outstanding; these gifts should belong to her sister!

"Ye Qingran, you must have colluded and pocketed the Crown Prince's gifts meant for my sister! Spit those gifts out to me at once!"

Hei Sha's expression darkened; he gripped the sword hilt with his right hand and drew his waist sword out by an inch.

"If you dare insult Miss Ye again, the sword in my hand will show no mercy!"

His Highness is practically urging Miss Ye to collude with him! How ridiculous!

Lin Xuewei's pupils contracted; thinking of her brother‑in‑law, the champion of the hunt, backing her, she instantly felt unafraid.

"How dare you! My sister is destined to marry the Emperor Sovereign, the champion of the hunt! If you dare touch me, I'll have my brother‑in‑law destroy the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao!"

"What a damn Xuan Yuan Wang Chao, it's nothing compared to her brother‑in‑law, the champion of the hunt!"

Hiss~

Everyone was shocked.

Is Lin Xuewei crazy? She dares to say that?

That's the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao dynasty!

Lin Xueyan also glared at Lin Xuewei, dissatisfied, saying, "Wei'er, enough!" Although she is now the pinnacle of the Zhu Lu, she still lacks the strength to oppose the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao.

Lin Xuewei gritted her teeth, "No, sister, they're obviously colluding to deceive you! I won't let them get their way!"

Heisha's eyes darkened as he raised a hand.

The next moment…

Clang—

The sound of swords being drawn rang out, and dozens of Purple Armored Guards behind Heisha uniformly drew their waist swords.

In an instant, silver light flashed, razor-sharp! Overwhelming sword intent and killing intent filled this void.

"Since you seek death, I'll grant it!"

Heisha waved his hand, a purple-clad figure shot toward Lin Xuewei, swift as lightning.

The Lin Family members were dumbfounded.

They never expected the Crown Prince's subordinate to be so decisive, ready to kill at the slightest disagreement!

At the critical moment…

"Hold on!"

Someone spoke up to stop it.

It was a woman's voice.

Following the sound, they saw a woman dressed plainly but with a dignified bearing.
