Chapter 322: Shall We Run Away Together?

"We Xiao Hu are great!" Ye Qingran bent down, lifted Mo Xiaohu, and pressed a strong kiss onto his face.

Mo Xiaohu flashed a row of white teeth at her, grinning.

"Mother, is Father really dead?" Xiao Hu leaned close to Ye Qingran's ear and asked softly.

Ye Qingran stared blankly for a moment, then shook her head.

Before, she refused to speak much about the child's father's matters; when they asked occasionally, she gave a perfunctory answer that he was already dead.

A flash of strange color passed through Xiao Hu's eyes.

He said quietly, very mature, "Mother, if you don't like him, shall we just not have Father?" If Father's existence only brings Mother pain, he'd rather not have him.

Ye Qingran shook her head, "Xiao Hu, Mother promises you she'll find Father, okay?"

Xiao Hu looked at Ye Qingran in disbelief.

"Mother, if we both dislike him, shall we run away together?"

"Hmm? What if we like him?"

Xiao Hu thought for a moment, "Then let him become our subordinate?" That way Father can stay by our side without affecting Mother being with the beloved Uncle Wuhen. He's such a clever little rascal!

Hahaha~

Ye Qingran smiled inwardly.

Sure enough, he's her son; his mind is truly unique!

Ye Qingran held her son, looked at Elegant Child with a generous demeanor, "Elegant Child, right? As you wish, I have no interest in that man Li Si, keep him for yourself." Elegant Child stared at Ye Qingran, then saw her expression darken, "But I already warned him; I'm afraid you can't take a whole Li Si away today!"

A murderous glint flashed across Ye Qingran's features.

Ye Qingran had just told Li Si: "While I'm still in a decent mood, tell everyone the truth and I can let it pass. If I become upset later, I can't promise to spare you."

Now, Li Si has clearly crossed Ye Qingran's line.

Li Si's complexion changed abruptly.

He panicked!

"Miss Ye, by heaven's conscience, I was indeed telling the truth!"

"Is that so?" Ye Qingran raised an eyebrow, "At this point you still refuse to repent. Xing Er, since he dares to spout nonsense, cut out his tongue!"

Sss~

The crowd inhaled a gasp of cold air.

How ruthless!

Of course, Ye Qingran knew Li Si was just a scapegoat. She would make Li Si comply and reveal the mastermind. No one involved today could escape!

"Hold on!" a clear shout rang out from the crowd.

It was Mu Qingrou.

She withdrew her gaze from Lin Xueyan and stared at Ye Qingran with icy eyes.

Yes, she had already coordinated with Lin Xueyan; today they would deal with Ye Qingran and make her pay a painful price.

Ye Huanhuan was her best confidante; they were inseparable. In her eyes, Ye Huanhuan was a clever and kind woman. Such an outstanding person was stripped of her Spiritual Root and schemed out of the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect by the scoundrel Ye Qingran. Now her fate is uncertain and whereabouts unknown.

If it weren't for Ye Qingran's petty heart, forcibly taking Ye Huanhuan's Spiritual Root, she wouldn't have become a cripple nor been expelled from the Xuan Yuan Sword Sect!

All of this is Ye Qingran's fault!

She will avenge Ye Huanhuan!

All eyes now focused on her.

Mu Qingrou stepped forward, arriving before Ye Qingran.

"Ye Qingran, you had your maid cut off Li Si's tongue to destroy evidence, right?" Mu Qingrou sneered coldly, as if she had already seen through Ye Qingran's thoughts.

The crowd looked at her puzzled, not knowing what she meant.

"That Beggar Li Four is actually your Wild Man, also the biological father of the Wild Offspring, and you refuse to acknowledge it because you've now gotten involved with someone better and look down on him as a beggar, don't you?"

The crowd couldn't help recalling the man from yesterday who fought for Ye Qingran, single‑handedly defeating dozens of Dark Guard from the Leng family.

He was called Wuhen.

Compared with Li Si, the man named Wuhen was undoubtedly thousands of times more outstanding.

"Are you so sure? You must have evidence in hand, right?" Ye Qingran looked at the resolute Mu Qingrou and guessed that she probably held some convincing 'evidence'.

Mu Qingrou smiled proudly. "Of course. Let me tell you the truth. Actually, Li Si arrived in Xiliang City not long ago! While he was still hesitating whether to come find you, I discovered him. I took his blood and your son's blood, then sent them to the Divine Medicine Sect for Bloodline Detection!"

Bloodline Detection isn't something anyone can perform. At present, in the Central Region, only a few sects can conduct Bloodline Detection, just a handful. The best is naturally Yaowang Valley, but its service isn't open to the public. Thus, the Divine Medicine Sect has become the most authoritative Bloodline Detection institution.

Mo Xiaohu looked utterly bewildered.

When did this wicked woman take his blood? How does he not know?

Mu Qingrou said this, raised her hand, and displayed a Divine Medicine Sect Bloodline Detection report to everyone.

The simple report bore four or five seals; few have seen such a document, and no one could discern its details. All they knew was that, being issued by the Divine Medicine Sect, it was indisputable.

"This report sent from the Divine Medicine Sect clearly states the Bloodline Detection result: Li Si and your son Mo Xiaohu are father and son!"

Lin Xueyan took the Divine Medicine Sect report from Mu Qingrou, gave it a quick glance, and nodded lightly, "Fine, this is indeed a report issued by the Divine Medicine Sect, no doubt."

One stone caused a thousand ripples.

Since Lin Xueyan said so, this Bloodline Detection report should have no problem, right?

Could Li Si truly be Ye Qingran's Wild Man after all?

Xia Zhimeng chuckled bitterly, "Mu Qingrou, doesn't everyone know you and that guy Ye Huanhuan are of the same stripe? My sister Ye uncovered her false veil, causing her disgrace, and you've held a grudge ever since, right?"

Mu Qingrou's face turned sour.

Xia Zhimeng persisted, "What, you think a lousy Bloodline Detection result is enough to slander my sister Ye and this Beggar? Come on, use some brain next time, will you? Don't assume everyone in the world is as stupid as you, unable to see through such a petty scheme!"

"Leaving aside whether this report was truly issued by the Divine Medicine Sect, even if it was, we don't know whose blood sample was sent there! To think you can confuse everyone with just this report, Mu Qingrou, are you that stupid, or are you assuming everyone is as foolish as you?" Gu Dongliu twirled his Folding Fan, sneering.

"So you use the Divine Medicine Sect as a banner and claim authority? Mu Qingrou, the brain is a good thing, but you don't have one!" Ling Shaoyang's eyes were utterly indifferent.

Mu Qingrou was pressed by several people into a speechless silence, and looked at Lin Xueyan for help.

Compared with Mu Qingrou's chaotic stumble, Lin Xueyan was unflustered and unhurried, confidence evident. She has always been thorough, naturally foreseeing these loopholes, so she had long devised a way to counter them.
