Chapter 696: Spirit Chaser Wing

The woman in his arms also abruptly withdrew from his embrace and knelt on the ground.

The one in green robes greets the master!

She was originally a bewitching brothel courtesan queen, but in an instant she became a cold-faced rakshasa.

Please rise.

Yun Zhongyue sat down, his clothes loose and slack, revealing part of his powerful abdominal muscles; his seductive charm lay hidden in his bones, yet he was completely different from just moments ago.

"Yes!" Even as she rose to her feet, the lady in green lowered her stunning visage, not daring to look at the man seated above.

Any new intelligence from the Spirit Chaser Wing?

Reporting to Master, the Spirit Chaser Wing has received the latest intelligence: a woman from the Central Region was found in Donghai Cheng to possess full-level Yun Tribe bloodline!

What?!

Yun Zhongyue straightened his posture, his pupils constricting.

Full-level bloodline? Is this absolutely certain? His tone was laced with urgency.

The lady in green nodded: "Absolutely certain!"

In Yun Zhongyue's deep eyes, fleeting glimmers flickered, profoundly unfathomable.

Full-level bloodline...

For so many years, the Yun Tribe has had only his sister Yun Ling possessing full-level bloodline!

What is that woman's name? Have you ascertained her origins?

The lady in green lowered her head further: "I don't know. Although she claims to come from the Central Region, she actually has a background from Western Extremity, and our people cannot find any information at all!"

"Western Extremity?" Yun Zhongyue rose to his feet.

Issue the order—no matter the cost, we must uncover the truth!

Yes!

Yun Zhongyue walked to the window, opened it, and gazed at the crescent moon hanging outside, whispering: "Sister, could it be you?"

If it is you, why haven't you come back to find me?

Sister, I miss you so much!

Lan'er, how are things going?

Yun Lingsong saw that Yun Tinglan's first question was exactly like that, bearing no resemblance to how a normal father should behave upon seeing his daughter.

Yun Tinglan felt a slight disappointment, but then thought perhaps her father was merely eager to abandon darkness and embrace the light.

I've said it. But...

But what?

But, Ye Qingran said she needs some time to think it over carefully.

All of this was also within Yun Lingsong's expectations.

Little sister.

Only then did Yun Tinglan notice there was another person in the private room—her brother Yun Tinglei.

Big brother?!

Yun Tinglan's face lit up with joy; she wanted to go forward and hug Yun Tinglei, but he dodged her, saying, "You're not a little kid anymore—it's not appropriate!"

Yun Tinglei wore a faint smile on his face, but a flash of aloofness flickered in the depths of his eyes.

Yun Tinglan let out a bitter laugh and did not insist.

She felt that everything seemed to have changed.

But she longed for the past, hoping to return to it.

Lan'er, sit down and have something to eat. Yun Lingsong greeted Yun Tinglan to sit, saying, "This is your favorite fern vegetable—eat more."

Yun Tinglan looked at the fern vegetable Yun Lingsong had placed before her and pursed her lips.

She hadn't liked eating fern vegetables for many years...

Lan'er, Father has a question for you.

Father, go ahead and ask.

Is the man beside Ye Qingran truly the Emperor Sovereign of Deer Chase Summit?

Of course!

Yun Lingsong's expression instantly turned grave: "How can the esteemed Emperor Sovereign of Deer Chase Summit set aside so many official duties to stay by a woman's side? It's truly infatuated."

Indeed, the Emperor Sovereign is a lovesick person. However, I've heard that he has already— She stopped mid-sentence, Yun Tinglan hastily covered her mouth, realizing she had misspoken and instantly feeling guilty.

Yun Lingsong and Yun Tinglei both had their eyes flash, exchanging a glance.

Where did he return to? Deer Chase Summit? Seeing Yun Tinglan stay silent, he glared at her and jokingly scolded, "You child, we're one family—what secrets could there be? Besides, we also support Miss Yun Ling."

Yun Tinglan fell silent for a moment, then gathered her resolve and said, "Something happened at Deer Chase Summit; the Emperor Sovereign left last night."

A gleam flashed in Yun Lingsong's eyes.

Are you certain?

I personally saw Ye Qingran see off the Emperor Sovereign...

Yun Lingsong narrowed his eyes and said to Yun Tinglan, "Lan'er, eat a bit more; I and your brother have matters to attend to, so we'll leave first."

Father, you're in such a hurry—where are you going?

Yun Lingsong sighed, "The Emperor Sovereign has left—doesn't that leave Ye Qingran unprotected? Of course I'm going to find someone to protect her!" He completely forgot that, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't even know where Ye Qingran resides in Yunzhong City.

Oh. Yun Tinglan suddenly understood and nodded obediently.

Yun Lingsong strode off with Yun Tinglei.

In the instant the door closed, Yun Tinglan collapsed into her chair.

It seems there's really no way back.

In the private room, her desolate, low voice echoed.

After all these years, Yun Tinglan is still as foolish as ever.

Yun Tinglei walked, mocking as he went.

Yun Lingsong didn't respond. To him, Yun Tinglan was merely a pawn.

For Yun Lingsong, building his hegemony in Neicheng—what's sacrificing a daughter?

Gather the troops; today I will slay Ye Qingran within Yunzhong City!

As you command! Yun Tinglei replied with a cold smile, then turned and withdrew.

The courtyard Fu San found lies in a relatively secluded part of Yunzhong City, its advantage being a tranquil setting.

In the courtyard, Ye Qingran was feeding the fish, while Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen played a flying flower command that must include the word 'moon'.

Han Xing, Leng Yue, and Yun Lu Fu San, among others, were merely spectators.

In the seventh month, the fire flows; in the ninth month, garments are bestowed.

At the turn of the tenth month, the new moon is Metal Rabbit.

In the seventh month, afield; eighth, the eaves; ninth, the doors; tenth, crickets enter beneath my bed.

The moon emerges, bright and fair; the beautiful one is leisurely; she stretches, her heart at ease; the moon emerges, radiant.

The two exchanged lines back and forth, leaving Han Xing and the others dumbfounded.

How many times have we done this? It never ends!

I reckon they can hold out until tomorrow!

Ye Qingran glanced over and gave a faint smile.

She usually doesn't teach them much, and she doesn't know how they managed to memorize so many poems.

Ah, the children are too clever—there's nothing to be done!

At that moment, Ye Qingran sensed an aura from outside, and her expression changed.

Swish—swish—swish~

Several figures descended from the sky, and immediately, the walls surrounding the courtyard were lined with experts armed to the teeth.

A murderous intent poured down from the heavens; the formerly tranquil and carefree atmosphere instantly turned grim and oppressive.

No matter how deeply you hide, I have still found you!

The leader, revealed to be Yun Lingsong, had Yun Tinglei and several other powerful experts behind him.

What business do you have with me, sir?

Drop the act—I know you are Ye Qingran, Daughter of the Cloud Spirit! Your face is disguised!

As he spoke, Yun Lingsong saw no change on Ye Qingran's face; instead, the people he brought reacted strongly.

Daughter of the Cloud Spirit?

Before they came, they only knew they were to kill the person that Miss Yun Lan wanted dead, but they did not know this person was the Daughter of the Cloud Spirit!

The renowned Miss Yun Ling of bygone years actually left a bloodline continuation in this world!

Ye Qingran gave a faint smile, "You've found me, huh!"

Speaking, she lifted her hand and swept it before her face, restoring her original appearance.

Upon seeing that face, many widened their eyes, their pupils shrinking to pinpoints.
