Chapter 574: You Cheated!

"Mom, go for it!"

When Ye Qingran walked up to the Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall), a familiar voice sounded beside her.

Looking up, Xiaohu Xiaocheng were perched on Fu Hanxiu's left and right arms, waving at her, their faces beaming brightly.

Seeing the children, Ye Qingran's mood instantly became wonderful.

They say daughters are like a close‑fitting little quilt, but here her sons are even more considerate than a little quilt!

"Come here," Ye Qingran waved at them.

The children's father, holding the two kids, crossed the crowd and walked toward Ye Qingran.

The family of four, except for Ye Xiu Elder who wore a mysterious mask, the mother and two children were top‑notch in looks and temperament.

From the children's appearance, one could infer that their father must be exceptionally handsome.

Everyone watching the scene, their gazes grew increasingly deep.

One has to admit, this family of four is remarkable.

The male head is a Guest Minister Elder of the Academy, whose strength is unfathomable; the female head is an Alchemist Master, also very powerful; the two children are prodigious youngsters.

Their family outshines Nan Gong Han's family, and calling them the top family of Beimingzhou would not be an exaggeration.

"What brings you here?"

Ye Qingran patted Xiaohu Xiaocheng's little cheeks, smooth as a peeled egg; the feel was truly wonderful.

"We came to cheer Mom on!"

Xiao Chen giggled.

They had been in class, heard Mom was taking on a challenge here, so they came over, and unexpectedly ran into dad right after stepping out of the Classroom door.

Ye Qingran smiled helplessly.

What is there to cheer for?

Nevertheless, with the kids and Fu Hanxiu coming, she was still very happy.

Her gaze fell on the kids' father.

"And you?"

Fu Hanxiu lifted his eyebrows slightly, smiling lightly, "I'm here to see the lady dazzle everyone."

This...

"Then just keep watching!" Ye Qingran gave Fu Hanxiu a cold stare.

So Fu Hanxiu, still holding the children, stepped back to the side.

"Mom, go for it, pierce the Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall)!"

Xiao Hu clenched a fist to cheer Mom on.

But hearing that, the crowd was left speechless.

Pierce the Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall)?

How could that be possible?

Xiao Hu probably didn't know that the Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) cannot be pierced casually.

Truly, child's words know no bounds!

"Ye Qingran, your children are really excessively ignorant."

Ling Xueyao, who had arrived at an unknown time, retorted sarcastically.

A dark glint passed through Ye Qingran's eyes, yet her demeanor stayed cool; she shifted her gaze to Ling Xueyao, "Ling Xueyao, why don't you explain how my children are so excessively ignorant?"

Ling Xueyao sneered, "Do I even need to say? Everyone knows the Academy's Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) is twenty inches thick at its thinnest and even thirty inches at its thickest; whose spiritual power could pierce such a thick Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall)?"

"Is that so?" Ye Qingran curled the corner of her mouth.

Originally, she intended to give the Academy some face, to bluff casually, as long as it was a bit deeper than Duan Yu's, that would suffice.

Now it seems some people just have to go looking for a beating!

Ling Xueyao persisted, "Ye Qingran, your children, as Heavenly Class disciples, can't even grasp such an obvious truth; it's truly disappointing!"

"My children do understand that obvious truth. They just think that such a thin Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall), their mother couldn't possibly fail to pierce it."

Hehe~

The effect of those words was like pouring a bucket of cold water into a scorching oil pot.

Everyone stared at Ye Qingran with an incredulous look.

"Xiaohu Xiaocheng, is Mom right?"

"That's exactly what we mean!"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng replied without hesitation.

In their eyes, Mom is omnipotent.

"Fine, I want to see whether you, as a mother, actually have that ability!"

Ling Xueyao sneered, utterly doubting Ye Qingran could pierce the Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall).

That's no different from a fool talking about a dream!

Duan Yu also heard Ye Qingran's remarks; his face showed no extra expression, but a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.

If that master were here, she believed she had the power to pierce the Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall).

As for Ye Qingran... impossible!

Ye Qingran smiled and turned away, not wishing to argue with Ling Xueyao.

Facts speak louder than eloquence.

Ye Qingran stood before the Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall), not sitting cross‑legged like Duan Yu, but standing there, her figure as upright as pine, cypress, and green bamboo.

She glanced at the Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall); indeed, as Ling Xueyao said, the thinnest part was about twenty inches, the thickest about thirty inches.

Hmm, it's indeed quite thin.

Ye Qingran's expression tightened as she mobilized her mental power, turning it into a sharp sword that thrust toward Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall),

Everyone only heard a 'puchi' sound before seeing a hole appear on Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall).

Unlike the black holes others pierce with mental power, this hole is penetrative; light shines through from one side to the other.

What's going on???

Everything happened too suddenly.

As a result, everyone stared unblinkingly at the hole, unable to come to their senses for a good while.

"Who used a weapon to pierce a hole in Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall)?"

Indeed, someone couldn't help voicing such a question.

It's really not their fault.

Because no one's mental power has ever been strong enough to pierce Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall), especially with such lightning speed.

However, with so many eyes watching, it's impossible for anyone to pierce Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) with a weapon in plain sight without being noticed.

Then there is only one truth: someone indeed used mental power to pierce Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall)!

Pierce?

That word appeared in everyone's mind, giving them a creepy feeling.

Just how perverse must one's mental power be to pierce Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall)?

Gazes locked onto Ye Qingran, unblinking.

All that could be seen was her standing before Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall), her expression calm, appearing unremarkable.

Could it really be her who pierced Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall)?

"Wow, Mommy is awesome!"

"Mommy is the strongest!"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng immediately raised both hands and cheered.

They knew that for Mommy, piercing Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) was simple.

Watching Xiaohu Xiaocheng cheer, everyone was horrified.

So, did Ye Qingran really use mental power to pierce Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall)?

"Impossible, Ye Qingran, you cheated!"

Ling Xueyao blurted out the accusation without thinking.

Li Elder stood among the elders, frowning, and spoke in a sarcastic tone: "Ye Qingran, why did you cheat?"

A big hat was placed on Ye Qingran's head.

"Which of your eyes saw me cheating?"

Ye Qingran retorted.

"Isn't it already obvious? No one in this world could possibly pierce Yingbi (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) (Shadow Wall) with mental power!"
