Chapter 373: Ye Qingran, Are You Trying to Rebel?

They do not doubt Leng Feng's partiality to Ye Qingran, because the Lin Family are benefactors of the Leng family, the Lin Family and Ye Qingran are opposing sides, and Leng Feng could not stand on Ye Qingran's side against the Lin Family.

Therefore, whatever Leng Feng says must be true!

So, does that mean Ye Qingran truly has no Spiritual Root?!

Gazes one after another fall on Ye Qingran, as if looking at a monster.

In this world, there are actually people who can truly cultivate to the Mysterious Sovereign level without a Spiritual Root!

It should be known that, according to historical records, people without a Spiritual Root all remain at the Mysterious Master stage!

Ye Qingran is an exception!

"That's impossible! Ye Qingran has no Spiritual Root, how could she cultivate?" Mu Qingrou gently shook her head, disbelief filling her eyes.

Ye Qingran glared at Mu Qingrou, "Impossible? In my view, nothing is impossible." After speaking, she gave a meaning‑laden gaze at Lin Xuewei, "After all, back then I had my appearance destroyed, my Spiritual Root taken, my child ripped out, and was pushed into the Duanhun Abyss, yet I survived. What then is impossible?"

Her voice was neither light nor heavy, yet the truth she spoke was so blood‑soaked that everyone present was utterly shocked.

Having her appearance destroyed, Spiritual Root stolen, child ripped out, and being pushed into the Duanhun Abyss?

Any one of those fates alone would be unbearable for many, yet Ye Qingran endured them all at once?

When Ling Shaoyang and the others heard Ye Qingran recount that brutal past with their own ears, they didn't know how to describe their feelings at that moment.

Even though not long ago they had already heard Ye Qingran speak of that past once, it had not been described in such detail.

Moreover, why did Ye Qingran look at Lin Xuewei while saying this?

Could it be that the events of that time were a joint effort of Lin Xuewei and Ye Huanhuan?

Thinking of that possibility, the three's gazes at Lin Xuewei were filled with endless coldness.

Mo Xiaohu and Fu Qianchi, though only five years old, already could feel their mother's pain.

"Mother~"

The two shouted.

"Mother, it's okay~" Ye Qingran heard the children's voice, her eyes full of gentleness.

The past is already behind us.

The children are alive and thriving; that is already the best outcome.

Ye Qingran's gaze made Lin Xuewei uncomfortable. What does Ye Qingran mean, is she insinuating that Lin Xuewei was the murderer back then? Yet, a disdainful curl rose at her mouth. Even if Ye Qingran publicly accused her, probably no one would believe her one‑sided claim.

"Ye Qingran, are you just playing the victim?" Mu Qingrou gritted her teeth.

"If you think that way, there's nothing I can do." Ye Qingran was unconcerned, "But you lost, you agreed to honor the Bet Agreement, are you ready for that slap?"

Mu Qingrou fell silent instantly.

"What, you dare to play but not fulfill the promise?" Ye Qingran's gaze drifted lazily to Lin Xuewei, "You should learn from the Lin family's second miss; last time I bet with her she lost and still stripped naked in front of everyone."

When Ye Qingran said that, everyone's gaze at Lin Xuewei took on a strange hue.

They had heard of this matter to some extent.

It is said that Lin Xuewei's figure is quite eye‑catching!

"Ye Qingran, you bitch!" Lin Xuewei was furious.

That incident has always been her humiliation. Every time she recalls those men staring at her naked body with lecherous expressions, she suffocates. During this period, she lost count of how many nightmares she endured and how much effort it took to recover.

Now that Ye Qingran mentioned it, it was as if a fresh scab on a wound was ripped away, instantly spilling blood.

"Miss Ye, Xuewei has already been punished; why do you keep holding onto this? Xuewei is, after all, a girl; your actions are rather excessive, aren't they?"

Madam Leng could not bear to see Lin Xuewei wronged, and couldn't help voicing a rebuke to Ye Qingran.

She is excessive?

Ye Qingran found it somewhat amusing.

"Madam Leng, you can't be double‑standard just because Lin Xuewei is your lifesaver, can you? Just now she kept insulting me so harshly, yet I didn't see you, Madam Leng, step forward to say a word of fairness."

Madam Leng was left speechless.

Ye Qingran stopped addressing Madam Leng, "And you, Thirteenth Princess, you haven't forgotten our Bet Agreement just now, have you?"

The named Thirteenth Princess stiffened all over.

She rose in angry shame, pointed at Ye Qingran and raged, "Ye Qingran, you are merely a servant of the Imperial Clan, daring to slap me? You are nothing but a dream‑deluding fool!"

A servant of the Imperial Clan?

With those words, the Donglin officials present all turned pale.

"Xing Er!"

Donglin Emperor shouted a reprimand.

Ye Qingran is the daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis and the Prime Minister, a meritorious family; if she were a servant, wouldn't that imply that all officials and their households are servants?

That would obviously provoke everyone's discontent.

Sure enough, gazes at Dongfang Ling'er were, to varying degrees, filled with anger.

"Father Emperor, did I say something wrong? Ye Qingran is merely Prime Minister Ye's daughter; what right does she have to oppose me, a princess of a nation?"

"You shut up for me!"

"Thirteenth Princess, you don't intend to honor the Bet Agreement we just made, do you?"

"So what if it is?"

Dongfang Ling'er gave up in despair. She simply didn't believe that, as long as she refused to cooperate, Ye Qingran would still dare to hit her in full view of everyone, wouldn't she?

"Xing Er, Yue Er," Ye Qingran lazily ordered.

Without Ye Qingran needing to say a word, Han Xing Leng Yue walked toward Dongfang Ling'er.

That stance clearly signaled ill intent.

"Ye Qingran, this is Jin Luan Hall; are you trying to rebel?"

Gu Huanghou slammed the table, her exquisitely made‑up face full of malice.

Gu Huanghou laughed. I was merely teaching the Thirteenth Princess the principles of conduct; otherwise, if this matter got out, everyone would mock the Donglin royal family's tutored lady as incompetent!

When did the Donglin royal family's affairs become yours to manage?

The Donglin royal family's affairs are naturally beyond my jurisdiction, but this matter is not merely a family issue. Ye Qingran, unflinching, said, "The Thirteenth Princess broke her word and grown fat; let her personally feel the consequences."

How dare you! Where are the imperial guards?

Gu Huanghou's voice fell, and a squad of imperial guards, brandishing cold steel spears, rushed in and surrounded Ye Qingran.

Capture this treasonous offender, Ye Qingran!

Facing the encirclement of the imperial guards, Ye Qingran remained expressionless, "Give her a proper lesson!"

As Ye Qingran finished speaking, the aura around her suddenly sank, a force as strong as the vast sea surged outward, and those imperial guards, no match for Ye Qingran, were tossed into the air.

She stood there like an invincible war god; no one could approach!

Probably because Ye Qingran had been too low‑key before, everyone assumed she was a soft target.

This display made everyone keenly realize that Ye Qingran is no longer the Ye Qingran of five years ago!

She is a Profound Sovereign!

Lin Xueyan, who returned from the summit of the Great Hunt, is also her defeated subordinate!

"Ye Qingran, are you rebelling?"
