Chapter 411

Ye Qingran: "......"

Even she now had her eyes wide open.

Even though she had seen much of the world, the basket of spirit fruits before her still frightened her greatly.

Roughly estimating, just the Magic Cloud Fruit alone is at least fifty pieces, not counting the other spirit fruits.

Erza, you're so extravagant, Mother doesn't know!

"Impossible, these bamboo baskets definitely don't contain real Magic Cloud Fruit!" Mu Qingrou denied instinctively.

Magic Cloud Fruit is a rare spirit fruit; even in Xi Ji Shengyu they are as scarce as phoenix feathers, how could anyone produce so many at once?

"Everyone, don't believe her; it must be Ye Qingran's sleight of hand! Don't be fooled by her!"

"Is that so?" Ye Qingran squinted, "Xu Kong Gongzi, tell us, are these spirit fruits Magic Cloud Fruit?" Ye Qingran pinched one out of the basket.

Xu Kong Gongzi looked at Ye Qingran with a cold gaze.

She asked like that, fully counting on him not daring to deny. After all, whether they are Magic Cloud Fruit can be verified with a quick test.

Pair after pair of eyes stared at Xu Kong Gongzi.

"Indeed they are Magic Cloud Fruit." After a moment of silence, he nodded, feeling quite unwilling.

"Did you hear? Even the Holy Envoy of Wuji Hall personally admitted it, Mu Qingrou, do you still think these aren't Magic Cloud Fruit?"

Mu Qingrou saw Xu Kong Gongzi had admitted it, so she naturally had nothing to say.

Yet, she was unwilling!

How could Ye Qingran's son have so many Magic Cloud Fruit in his hands?!

The crowd was shocked.

A basket of Magic Cloud Fruit was actually real!

"My god, I never thought in my lifetime I could witness such a shocking scene!"

"A basket of Magic Cloud Fruit... enough for me to brag about for a lifetime!"

"It's not just Magic Cloud Fruit; look at the other spirit fruits, they seem no worse than Magic Cloud Fruit..."

Mo Xiaohu's complexion finally improved a bit.

How could he possibly lie?

After all, Magic Cloud Fruit in their Mo Yuan is no different from radishes. Every household has an orchard, each orchard has at least one Magic Cloud Fruit tree. He grew up eating Magic Cloud Fruit.

"Now you believe, right? My Mother would never steal your Magic Cloud Fruit!"

Mo Xiaohu crossed his arms over his chest, looking aloof.

How can the crowd still not believe?

Since his own son has a basket of Magic Cloud Fruit, Ye Qingran indeed has no reason to steal.

"Mother, let me give all these to you."

Ye Qingran was moved.

"Erza..." You really are my good Erza!

"Mother, had I known you needed Magic Cloud Fruit, I wouldn't have let Xiao Huihui eat so many; I'd give you those dozens of baskets!"

Ye Qingran: "......"

Everyone: "......"

Listen, is that something a person said?

Dozens of baskets?

Confirmed by the look, it's someone from a mining family!

"But Ye Qingran, before this you didn't even know your son had Magic Cloud Fruit, right? You just found out! Just now you wanted to steal Magic Cloud Fruit!"

Mu Qingrou was relentless.

Ye Qingran admitted she wasn't earlier than others in knowing.

It was somewhat heartbreaking.

But...

"You're right, I just found out too."

The crowd was stunned.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qingran actually admitted it. In fact, as long as she denied it outright, Mu Qingrou would have had no way to deal with her.

Mu Qingrou's eyes lit up, a great joy flashing in them.

That fool Ye Qingran actually admitted it.

"Ye Qingran, I told you, you're a thief!"

"I only admit that I just learned my son has many Magic Cloud Fruit; that doesn't mean I admit I'm a thief."

Mu Qingrou sneered, "You still want to argue?"

"Me arguing? How about this, Mu Qingrou: if I can prove the Magic Cloud Fruit wasn't stolen by me, you give me your two hands, okay?"

The crowd was startled.

Ye Qingran wants to cut off Mu Qingrou's hands?

Mu Qingrou herself was also startled.

Ye Qingran, this vicious woman, actually plotted to take her hands!

Given the previous loss to Ye Qingran as a warning, Mu Qingrou no longer dared to gamble with Ye Qingran.

"What, you're scared now?" Ye Qingran's lips curled with sarcasm, "You shouldn't be. Miss Mu swore I stole Magic Cloud Fruit, yet now you won't bet with me? Could it be you're deliberately slandering me?"

Mu Qingrou's face tightened, almost biting a silver tooth.

So what if she slanders her?

Ye Qingran, a despicable person like that, should be like a street rat—everyone shouting to beat her!

At that moment, a corner of her eye caught Xu Kong Gongzi; seeing him nod toward her, Mu Qingrou instantly reacted.

Indeed, she now has the Holy Envoy behind her; what reason does she have to fear?

"Ye Qingran, I wager with you! However, if you cannot prove it, I will also take your pair of hands!"

Without her hands, Ye Qingran would inevitably be abandoned by the Emperor Sovereign!

Without her hands, Ye Qingran cannot refine elixirs—what's the difference from a cripple?

"Fine."

Ye Qingran agreed without hesitation.

Want to chop off her hands?

Mu Qingrou would need to have that skill!

Ye Qingran nodded, "Bring the person up."

As the words fell, a commotion came from outside; Han Xing escorted several people into the Wuji Hall.

When Mu Qingrou saw the four people Han Xing had brought in, her pupils contracted.

They are all members of the Wuji Hall!

How could that be?

Could it be that Ye Qingran truly knows something?

A sudden panic surged in her.

Everyone's gaze fixed steadily on those people.

They wore the Wuji Hall's uniform; at a glance they were Wuji Hall staff.

"Ye Qingran, what are you doing? They are my Wuji Hall people!"

Xu Kong Gongzi spoke first.

He seemed to have guessed what Ye Qingran intended, his face turning dreadfully grim.

Ye Qingran ignored Xu Kong Gongzi and instead asked the four people.

"I ask you, was the white mist just now released by you?"

His warning gaze fell heavily upon the four, and they tensed all over.

Mu Qingrou stared at them with eyes full of murderous intent.

But at the thought of Ye Qingran's promise, they mustered courage.

"…It was us!"

Everyone was stunned.

Was the white mist just now released by Wuji Hall staff?

Wouldn't that mean...

A look of interest appeared in everyone's eyes.

Mu Qingrou could hardly believe that her subordinates would betray her!

"Then, tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

"It was... her!"

Four hands, simultaneously, pointed at Mu Qingrou.
