Chapter 701: Mission half an hour, kissing one hour?

Ye Qingran said to Yun Batian, "I'll come again in these two days; don't try any tricks, or I'll pluck out all your beard!!"

After saying that, Fu Hanxiu took her and disappeared on the spot.

Yun Batian's sturdy body shuddered, and he instinctively touched his beard.

Good, it's still there!

No, what is he afraid of? He's actually the esteemed Yun Tribe Clan Leader, yet he's being threatened by a stinky girl!

What propriety is this?

The more he thought, the angrier he got.

But thinking back to the girl's lively brows and eyes just now, Yun Batian inexplicably felt a hint of anticipation.

"Father, I heard intruders have broken in; have you seen them?"

Yun Lan pushed the door open and entered, asking in a low voice.

Yun Batian restrained the emotion in his eyes, looked at Yun Lan, his gaze as still as an ancient well, and said, "They've left."

Left?

Yun Lan furrowed her brows and probed, "Did they say anything?"

Yun Batian stared at Yun Ling and said, "They said the next Yun Tribe Clan Leader ought to be outstanding."

Yun Lan's delicate body almost imperceptibly stiffened.

"As for the assassins, Father, just hearing them out is fine; they probably wish our Yun Tribe would collapse."

"I actually think what they said makes sense."

Yun Lan tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Father, it's late; you're not in good health, so hurry back to your room to sleep."

Yun Batian nodded, turned, and entered the room.

The moment the door shut automatically, Yun Lan's face darkened instantly, appearing even more sinister in the pitch-black night.

She strode out, and after leaving the courtyard she ordered:

"Send more people; we must find those two assassins from tonight!"

"Yes!"

After the others withdrew, Yun Lan overlooked the floating island below, her eyes reflecting myriad lights gradually narrowing.

"Ye Qingran, Yun Ling can't beat me, and neither can you! The Yun Tribe belongs to me, Yun Lan!"

She clenched her fist and slammed it hard against the railing before her, which instantly shattered into pieces.

Suddenly, her delicate body trembled; she bent her waist, lowered her head, and when she lifted it again, her eyes were full of panic, which quickly faded...

Upon returning to their lodgings, Fu Hanxiu grabbed Ye Qingran's waist and wouldn't let go.

"You can't keep screwing me over like this!"

"What?" Ye Qingran looked confused. Does she have it?

"I've offended our grandfather."

"You're overthinking it; we haven't even written a single stroke of the eight characters!" Ye Qingran dismissed it, "Besides, you're wearing a mask; he doesn't know what you look like, so next time we meet formally I'll just say I've switched to another man."

Ye Qingran chattered on, not noticing Fu Hanxiu's face growing darker.

Until he gritted his teeth and said, "You really are a little trickster."

Only then did Ye Qingran give a "hehe" laugh, "This isn't just a makeshift plan, is it?"

Fu Hanxiu suddenly lowered his head, an unexpected kiss that made Ye Qingran's eyes widen.

But soon she closed her eyes and began to respond.

The moonlight was like water; the two stood on the heights, behind them the bright moon shone, their entwined deep kiss silhouettes like a painting, stunning the moment.

When they returned to the courtyard, Ye Qingran only then noticed that everyone was still awake!

"Miss, why did it take so long?"

Leng Yue saw Ye Qingran and went up to her, the worry on her face gradually fading.

"Um..."

A flicker of small embarrassment crossed Ye Qingran's heart.

Could she say they had just been kissing outside for an hour?

Mission half an hour, kissing one hour?

Cough!

Better not say it!

"Sigh, mainly it's my first time there; I wasn't familiar with the situation, so I wasted time!"

Ye Qingran's face didn't redden, her heart didn't race.

"Madam, why are your lips a bit swollen?"

Fu San beside her, like a curious treasure, observed Ye Qingran and boldly asked.

Ye Qingran looked at Fu San; the gentler her smile, the more she wanted to beat him.

Will this guy die if he doesn't speak?

Fu San, you're dead!

If Fu San doesn't ask, nobody has noticed yet.

Once he asked that, everyone realized something, their eyes darting about, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"What's wrong?" Only Fu San had a clueless look.

Slap~

Han Xing slapped his head with a palm, "If you don't speak, nobody will think you're mute!"

How fierce!

Fu San, looking pitiful, rubbed his forehead, feeling aggrieved as he stared at Han Xing, truly not understanding how he got beaten.

But a beating is affection, a scolding is love; although he was hit, his heart is sweet, which fully proves that Han Xing loves him!

"Have you seen the Clan Leader?"

Or Yun Lu broke the awkwardness first.

"Hmm." Ye Qingran nodded; that calm demeanor showed no trace of embarrassed shyness at being caught.

"What's up with the old Clan Leader?" Yun Lu asked impatiently.

"He… is fine." Ye Qingran's gaze fell on Yun Lu, adding, "Just a few injuries, nothing serious."

Yun Lu, after hearing, lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ye Qingran's eyes lingered on him briefly, then turned to Han Xing and the others, "What are you all waiting for? Go back to your rooms and sleep!"

"Miss, you know if you don't come back, where can we sleep?" Leng Yue cooed.

"Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen already asleep?"

"Yes. Bai Bing is on guard."

"Let's go see them."

Seeing Ye Qingran about to leave, Yun Lu seemed to snap back to reality, stretched out his hand and called, "Wait a moment. I have something to say."

Ye Qingran raised an eyebrow, "Go ahead."

"Have you ever heard of the Spirit Chaser Wing?"

The others gave no response, except Fu San.

"I know, what's up?"

Yun Lu looked at Fu San, "Then you should know that the people in that organization are Miss Yun Ling's followers."

"Got it." Fu San nodded.

As a competent intelligence gatherer, he naturally knew about the Spirit Chaser Wing, but he hadn't taken it to heart.

"If I'm not mistaken, on the day Yun Lan succeeded as Clan Leader, the members of the Spirit Chaser Wing will definitely appear to block. Perhaps we could join forces with them!"

Yun Lu said, pointing at Fu Hanxiu, "Of course, we have the Emperor Sovereign, perhaps there's no need…"

Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows, "You say the people in that organization are Yun Ling's followers?"

"Exactly!"

"Who is their Leader? Do you know?"

Yun Lu denied, "I don't know."

Fu San added, "I haven't found anything on my side. I even suspect the organization might have no Leader."

Ye Qingran nodded in understanding, "We could go take a look."

"Alright, tomorrow I can take you there."

The next day.

Ye Qingran, Fu Hanxiu, and Yun Lu walked down the street.

At that moment, a figure darted from ahead; even though his speed was great, three ambushing experts intercepted him.

"You were running, why did you stop?"

A particularly grating voice came from behind.

Ye Qingran hadn't even seen the newcomer when she already recognized the voice's owner.
