Chapter 678: Donghai Inn

When Fu San said that, everyone's gaze simultaneously turned toward Ye Qingran.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Ye Qingran was rather speechless.

"Instructor Ye, you also carry the Yun Tribe bloodline; would you like to try?"

Hong Wu pointed at the Blood Jade Pillar and whispered.

Ye Qingran is the legitimate daughter of Yun Ling, the long‑missing scion of the Yun Tribe, a massive secret.

If the world learned that more than twenty years ago, the Yun Ling who once dazzled Nan Yin Zhou not only survived but also had a daughter, it would certainly cause an earthquake in Nan Yin Zhou!

The others also looked at Ye Qingran with hopeful eyes.

Since Ye Qingran's birth mother is Yun Ling, she must have an extremely pure Yun Tribe bloodline within her!

Only we don't know how pure it is?

"Don't look at me; I won't go. If the Blood Jade Pillar explodes, how am I supposed to be compensated?"

The crowd: "....."

So that's what you're worried about!

On second thought, it's not impossible!

After all, it's Ye—Miracle Creator—Qingran!

Ye Qingran and her party walked around the plaza, but didn't see anyone go up to use the Blood Jade Pillar to test the bloodline.

However, they didn't find it strange.

After all, among the huge population of Nan Yin Zhou, people of the Yun Tribe are so few they can be ignored.

It may even be that the entire Donghai Cheng doesn't have a single person with the Yun Tribe bloodline.

Donghai Cheng.

Lord of Donghai City Yun Hai personally poured tea for the young woman opposite him, his face bearing a flattering, ingratiating smile.

"Miss Yun Luo, your grand arrival makes Donghai Cheng shine!"

The woman called Yun Luo assumed a cold, aloof posture, speaking with an air of superiority: "Lord of Donghai City, you are too kind. I have come to Donghai Cheng this time by the order of Miss Yun Lan."

At the mention of Yun Lan, Yun Hai became unusually solemn, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes.

In today's Yunfu, if one asks whose power is greatest, it is naturally the current Yun Tribe Clan Leader Yun Batian.

Yun Ling is Yun Batian's daughter.

Yun Batian's strength is unparalleled and his methods harsh, yet he truly dotes on his daughter Yun Ling, too precious to speak of, too precious to hold.

Later, Yun Ling was indeed lost.

This dealt a heavy blow to Yun Batian, who never recovered, and while still in his prime intended to hand the Clan Leader seat to several sons.

He did not expect that those sons would either be disabled or indifferent to fame, and ultimately the next Clan Leader position fell to Yun Lan.

One could say Yun Lan is currently the most likely to inherit the Clan Leader title.

Moreover, her status in Yunfu is rising, leading many to believe Yun Lan will undoubtedly sit at the highest position in Yunfu.

Thus, the people of Yunfu all revere Yun Lan.

"Miss Yun Lan, what orders do you have?"

Yun Hai stood up and bowed deeply toward Yun Luo.

Yun Luo, without looking away, said, "There is a woman named Ye Qingran who should have arrived in our Yunfu jurisdiction; keep watch for her and report any information immediately."

When the name Ye Qingran was mentioned, a chill and disdain flickered in Yun Luo's eyes.

A lowly woman from the Central Region, thinking that having ascended to the pinnacle of the Emperor Sovereign, can contend with Miss Yun Lan?

Wait until the day the Emperor Sovereign kicks her aside; what capital will she have left then?

Obviously, Yun Luo, as a pawn, does not know the whole truth.

Ye Qingran?

Yun Hai was slightly startled.

He had never heard of such a person.

But whatever could make Miss Yun Lan so concerned must be some great figure.

"Yun Hai, as you command!" Yun Hai hurriedly agreed.

Since Yun Lan is the most likely to become the next Yun Tribe Clan Leader, he naturally must obey Yun Lan without question, becoming a compliant dog.

At that moment, cries and shouts came from outside the hall.

Yun Hai frowned, fearing to disturb the guest, gave Yun Luo an apologetic smile, hurried to the door, opened it, and asked with displeasure, "What happened?"

"Lord, Young Master ZhuDi has had an accident!"

An accident?

Yun Hai was startled; YunXia's cries were already approaching.

Two people were seen carrying ZhuDi, with YunXia and ZhuHao one behind the other.

ZhuHao's face was ashen, and YunXia wept with a heart‑rending scream.

"Brother, please save Di quickly!"

Yun Hai looked closely and saw that ZhuDi was missing an arm and a leg!

He immediately roared, "Who did this?"

ZhuHao exaggerated the story of ZhuDi's mutilation.

After hearing the whole chain of events, Yun Hai fell silent.

Since the other side knows that ZhuDi has the Lord of Donghai City behind her, yet still threatens to wait at Donghai Cheng's largest inn for them to come find them?

Is it merely intimidation, or does he truly have the backing?

For a moment, Yun Hai was a little uncertain.

"Brother, what are you still standing there doing? Di Er is your own nephew! Aren't you going to rally men to avenge him?!"

Seeing Yun Hai hesitate, YunXia stamped her foot anxiously.

"Lord of Donghai City, have we run into trouble?"

Yun Luo stepped out of the house.

Yun Hai's eyes flickered slightly as he briefly recounted ZhuDi's matter.

Yun Luo, however, was unimpressed: "A mere nobody can scare the Lord of Donghai City like this, truly disappointing."

"Miss Yun Luo, I would ask you to lend me a hand."

Yun Luo, almost imperceptibly, nodded, "Hmm." She happened to be planning to go to the Blood Jade Pillar to test the Yun Tribe Bloodline.

This is something many people with Yun Tribe Bloodline do when they go to a city.

Think about it: in the bustling city center, lighting the Blood Jade Pillar and flashing brilliant radiance is such an honorable thing.

Everyone will cast envious, even admiring, gazes at you!

Donghai Inn.

The inn is the largest inn in Donghai Cheng, bar none.

The seven‑story red‑wood structure stands on the edge of the plaza, in Donghai Cheng's most bustling district; among the three‑ or four‑story street buildings, it is like a crane among chickens, clearly one of Donghai Cheng's landmark structures.

Originally, with Ye Qingran and others' wealth, they would choose the Donghai Inn, whose hardware and software are top‑notch; moreover, they are still waiting for ZhuDi to bring the Lord of Donghai City for revenge.

The innkeeper, seeing so many people arrive at once, didn't find it strange; after all, he has hosted even more guests before.

However, each of these people looks ordinary, yet their temperament is outstanding, even surpassing that of the Lord of Donghai City; what's going on?

"How strange indeed," the innkeeper muttered while processing the check‑in for Ye Qingran and her party.

After checking in, Ye Qingran's party chose a street‑facing private room on the second floor and ordered a table of wine and dishes to satisfy their appetites.

But as soon as the food and wine were set, a murderous aura drifted into the private room.
