Chapter 588

"Xiao Chen looks like dad, I look like mom."

Xiao Hu said weakly.

Although they sometimes envied that Xiao Chen looks like dad, once they think he looks more like mom, they feel relieved.

Li Daoyun looked at Xiao Hu, feeling that this child doesn't resemble the Emperor Sovereign much, but in the corners of his eyes and the tips of his eyebrows one can still see a hint of the Emperor Sovereign's shadow.

He doesn't look much like anyone, but cleverly inherited all the virtues of the two, and when he grows up, he'll definitely be a peerless handsome man!

In the past, Xiao Chen would still envy Xiao Hu a bit. But under mom's guidance, they are now both indifferent; as long as they can be with dad and mom, who they look like doesn't matter!

Ye Qingran looked at the two children and thought it was fine that they don't look alike. Anyway, each has their own strengths, and she loves seeing them every time.

"Do you want a little sister who looks like your mother?"

Fu Hanxiu asked Xiao Hu Xiao Chen.

Little sister?

Upon hearing this, both of their eyes flashed green.

"Alright, alright!"

"I want it, I want it!"

They spoke in unison, showing an eager longing.

A little sister who looks like mom would surely be very cute, right?

So looking forward!

Ye Qingran gave Fu Hanxiu a cold stare and said irritably, "We're not married yet! What are you talking about!"

"Are you hinting at something?"

"Get lost!" Ye Qingran brusquely kicked Fu Hanxiu away; seeing his awkward smile, she simply kicked him again.

Li Daoyun watched this scene, and his heart was undeniably shocked.

He had witnessed the Emperor Sovereign's ruthless cruelty and heard of his coldness, yet this man before him made it hard to associate him with the Emperor Sovereign of the Peak of the Hunt.

After a while, he gave a faint smile.

That's fine.

Li Daoyun and Ye Qingran studied together, tried several methods, but there was no response.

Even Ye Qingran shed blood, yet that space remained completely still.

Yun Sui Feng, who was in another space, invisible and untouchable, could still truly feel her presence and even hear her faint breathing.

For several consecutive days, Ye Qingran would find time to visit Qingfeng Cave.

Li Daoyun also appeared each time, stayed briefly, discussed with Ye Qingran, and finally gave most of the time to her.

Thus, after another three days, in the blink of an eye, the day for opening the ancient battlefield ruins arrived.

At dawn, the Academy's Training Ground was already packed with disciples.

The ancient battlefield ruins carry inherent risks. Even the so‑called Oasis isn't that safe; each time a certain number of disciples perish within.

Therefore, the Academy fully adopts a voluntary principle, sending each class as a unit, led by an Instructor, into the ancient battlefield ruins.

If a class has too few members, they combine with other classes to form a team.

Generally, each time the ancient battlefield ruins open, nearly half of the people choose to enter.

Because it is a rare chance to boost one's strength.

Within the ruins, danger and opportunity coexist.

Especially, many ancient relics are scattered inside, all supreme treasures, and the uniquely favorable environment breeds spirit treasures; encountering them is a tremendous opportunity.

"Look, the Renxu 108 Class disciples actually came too!"

"Weren't they always doing as they pleased in previous years? Why are they so obedient this year?"

"No need to say, it must be because of Instructor Ye!"

In a certain corner, Hong Wu, Gu Wuyou, Qin Feixue and Qin Zixie stood out prominently.

However, unlike Hong Wu's group's cheerfulness, Qin Zixie seemed somewhat gloomy.

"Sister, do we really have to follow her? Weren't we always acting freely before?"

Qin Zixie was quite unwilling.

He now doesn't want to see Ye Qingran; seeing her brings those humiliations to mind.

Although he knows his skill is inferior, he simply doesn't know how to face her.

"Times have changed, Qin Zixie, you promised me, you must not backtrack!"

Qin Zixie frowned, praying in his heart that Ye Qingran wouldn't come.

However, to his disappointment, Ye Qingran appeared quickly.

When she saw Qin Feixue and the others, Ye Qingran wasn't surprised; she had long guessed they'd come.

"Instructor Ye, this time we rely on you to lead us!"

Hong Wu's eyes were bright and clear.

She truly was full of anticipation for this ancient battlefield ruins trial.

Gu Wuyou wore a blank expression. He wasn't interested in the trial itself, but in the spirit herbs inside.

As for Qin Feixue, like Hong Wu, she was quite looking forward to this trial.

"Qin Zixie, together?"

Duan Yu then walked over and patted his shoulder.

She stood beside Ye Qingran, not even glancing at her, as if she didn't exist.

"I..." Qin Zixie wanted to go with Duan Yu; previously they did the same, not walking with any class, just finding a few they liked.

"What? You want to go with her?"

Duan Yu raised an eyebrow, "Who is she referring to?" No need to say more.

"Duan Yu, he won't go with you," Qin Feixue said to Duan Yu.

"Also, if you have no one else traveling with you, then come with us."

Duan Yu twisted his eyebrows and sneered, "I won't join this fun."

"Why? Isn't it fine to be together?"

Duan Yu turned, walked a few steps away, stopped in his tracks without looking back, "I certainly don't want to be with someone who once tried to kill me!"

Even though Ye Qingran's spiritual power made her readily admit inferiority, that does not hide the fact that she once interrupted her performance of the Soul Capturing Song, nearly causing her to be backfired!

Hong Wu was startled.

She knew Duan Yu was referring to the last time the Spirit Beast Horde attacked the Academy. Yet she just couldn't bring herself to believe that Ye Qingran could do such a thing; there must have been some misunderstanding.

"Look, Duan Yu isn't with Ye Qingran!"

As Duan Yu left, the surrounding disciples began to chatter.

"Duan Yu still remembers the old grudge. However, Duan Yu's actions are understandable; after all, Instructor Ye suddenly interrupting her was a very dangerous thing."

"Sigh, I don't know why Instructor Ye did that..."

As for Ye Qingran herself, she showed neither anger nor any other emotion.

She, the innocent, remains untainted.

At this moment, Li Daoyun and Wu Shushan appeared together.

The restless, noisy Training Ground fell silent in an instant.

The Academy's disciples looked at the figure with white whiskers and white hair, their faces solemn with respect.

As the Academy's director, although Li Daoyun has been away for years, that does not affect his standing among the Academy's disciples.

"In this Ancient Battlefield Relic Trial, whoever can find the Chaos Qing Lian Seed, the Academy will promise them all conditions."

There is little time left for the Academy.

Perhaps only for these few years, if luck is better, it can barely survive another ten or so years, or even longer.

However, the loosening of the Seal is an indisputable fact.

No one can predict when the Seal will fail.

The only thing that can be foreseen is that the day the Seal fails will be the moment Shenzhou Academy meets its destruction!

This time, failure means death!

Therefore, for this trial, Shenzhou Academy dispatched almost its most elite forces, aiming to locate the Chaos Qing Lian Seed.

This is Shenzhou Academy's only salvation.
