Chapter 316

Her completely trusting attitude makes Wuhen feel extremely ashamed, and his inner unease also grows stronger.

It is said that telling one lie requires countless lies to cover it up.

He truly regrets having deceived Ye Qingran back then, using Wuhen's identity to get close to her.

Probably even Heaven could not stand his behavior, so Ye Qingran ultimately chose Wuhen over National Master!

"Raner…" Wuhen impulsively called out Ye Qingran.

"What's wrong?"

When meeting her gaze, Wuhen's earlier impulse receded like the tide.

If he told Ye Qingran now that Wuhen is National Master and also the Emperor Sovereign atop the hunting peak, she would surely hate him to death, right?

More than just hating him to death?

Raner would definitely ignore him forever, right?

No, he will not allow that to happen!

"Nothing, nothing, I just wanted to call you that," Wuhen smiled.

Ye Qingran looked at Wuhen suspiciously, feeling that he had something to tell her just now.

"However, I wonder what the Emperor Sovereign is doing in Xiliang City," Ye Qingran said, rubbing her chin while thinking.

Wuhen wanted to say, what else could he do? Of course, it's because you've stayed for a long time; otherwise he should have left Xiliang City long ago.

But now he cannot say that, because he is Wuhen, the Wuhen from Cangzhou City.

To keep his cover, he can only remain silent.

"Damn Ye Qingran!" Back in her courtyard, Lin Xueyan could no longer conceal herself, revealing her ferocious side.

"Miss, calm down!"

Cui Xi whispered comfort from the side.

Cui Xi is the maid Lin Xueyan brought back from Xi Ji.

"Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down? That damn Ye Qingran has ruined my face today!" Lin Xueyan grew angrier, and swept everything on the table onto the floor.

"And that man named Wuhen! How did he even know the Emperor Sovereign is also in Xiliang City?! What terrible luck did Ye Qingran have to be abandoned by the Emperor Sovereign and still find such an outstanding man?" Lin Xueyan clenched her fists, jealousy burning in her eyes.

One must admit, Wuhen is a very outstanding man. Though his looks are ordinary, his temperament is exceptional, his strength is high, the kind of man who makes women swoon.

Such a man should be devoted to her, Lin Xueyan, shouldn't he? How could he look down on Ye Qingran, that filthy slut?

Cui Xi rolled her eyes, pondered a moment and said, "Miss, the reason that man named Wuhen likes Ye Qingran must be her beauty, so their feelings are certainly shallow. Any man, upon learning the woman he likes has a child and the child's father is still around, would somewhat reject that woman."

Lin Xueyan looked at Cui Xi, "What do you mean?"

Cui Xi gave a mysterious smile, "Miss, you say, if at this moment the father of Ye Qingran's wild offspring returns, and that child's father is a good‑for‑nothing, ugly beggar, would Wuhen be so disgusted that he would abandon Ye Qingran?"

Lin Xueyan's eyes brightened, and her anger gradually faded.

She thought Cui Xi made a lot of sense. Doesn't Ye Qingran also have a child named Mo Xiaohu? It is said the child's father is a rustic villager, identity unknown. If that father appears now, it would not only ruin Ye Qingran's face but also make Wuhen resent Ye Qingran, leading him to abandon her. Without Wuhen, Ye Qingran would be nothing.

"Go find me a man right now, disguise him as that wild man of Ye Qingran, and the uglier and more disgusting, the better!" Lin Xueyan impatiently ordered.

"Yes!" Cui Xi replied confidently.

She will definitely complete this task excellently.

She had just turned around when Lin Xueyan called her back.

"Also, go tell Zhao Yi Niang of the Ye Residence about this. Zhao Yi Niang hates Ye Qingran to death; I believe she will wholeheartedly help us."

When Zhao Shi told her the plan, Zhao Shi wore a ferocious expression.

She barely thought before saying, "Go back and tell Lin Da Xiaojie, I will cooperate to the end!"

Cui Xi smiled, "With Lady Ye's words, I am at ease!" She then turned and left.

Zhao Shi watched Cui Xi leave, the hatred in her eyes growing deeper.

Her most beloved daughter Ye Huanhuan had her Spiritual Root taken by Ye Qingran, and because of Ye Qingran was expelled from the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect, reduced to a joke throughout Xiliang City, now her life hangs in the balance! How could she not hate?

Although her Huanhuan took Ye Qingran's Sacred Spiritual Root five years ago, since the Sacred Spiritual Root has already been in Huanhuan's body, why does Ye Qingran still nitpick and try to extract it again? Can't she just let Huanhuan keep the Sacred Spiritual Root? After all, that root has been in Huanhuan for five years, already hers!

Moreover, her Huanhuan is so pure and kind, why does Heaven make her endure so much suffering?

On the contrary, that slut Ye Qingran, who commits all the bad deeds, lives a smooth life—truly unjust!

"Ye Qingran, I will not let you get away with this; I will make you pay with blood!"

Zhao Shi clenched her fists, gritting her teeth, and said hatefully.

"Raner, Crown Prince Luo of the Xuan Yuan Wang Chao gave you so many gifts, shouldn't you explain?"

Just after returning to Ting Yu Xuan, Wuhen squinted and began questioning Ye Qingran.

Thinking of how Prince Luo's subordinates treated Ye Qingran, as if she were the future Crown Princess, Wuhen felt a flame burning in his heart.

Ye Qingran also rolled her eyes in speechlessness.

She said, why did Wuhen never mention anything about Prince Luo all the way, only waiting here for her?

Ye Qingran twitched her nostrils, "Wuhen, do you smell any sourness?"

She said it very seriously.

"Sourness?"

Wuhen also sniffed, "Nothing!"

Ye Qingran tilted at him, "How can there be none? I think someone's vinegar jar spilled!"

Wuhen was startled.

Only then did he realize Ye Qingran was teasing him.

"Fine, you're teasing me, right?"

Wuhen dangerously squinted his eyes.

Ye Qingran shook her head, "Just kidding, how could I? Someone can kill four directions with a single sword, don't even mention how imposing!"

Wuhen: "......" Are you still saying you didn't tease him?

"You really won't speak?" Wuhen's gaze grew increasingly dangerous, emitting a dangerous signal that said, "If you don't speak, I'll execute you on the spot."
