Chapter 711

Ye Qingran actually mentioned Yun Ling on purpose; she wanted to see Yun Batian's reaction.

Yun Batian froze there, pursing his lips and saying nothing more.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have reopened your wound."

Yun Batian shook his head, "It's none of your business."

Ye Qingran then stopped asking about Yun Ling, but she had a thought in mind.

Yun Batian looked at Ye Qingran and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Twenty-one."

"Twenty-one..."

"If his spirit child had a child of their own, they'd be about this age, right?"

"You at this age indeed have no chance to see her."

For some reason, he usually avoids mentioning Yun Ling with anyone, but when Ye Qingran brought her up, he felt like confiding in her.

I have to say, this feeling is quite wonderful.

Ye Qingran wanted to say, she had seen Yun Ling.

"Is this your husband or your man?"

Yun Batian pointed at Fu Hanxiu and asked.

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course! A man is for fun, a husband is for living together."

Ye Qingran: "......"

"He's my man..."

That statement is fine.

After all, they haven't married yet.

Fu Hanxiu was displeased; his deep gaze fell on Ye Qingran, making her feel pressured.

"Just for fun?"

"Cough, you're not the same..."

Yun Batian earnestly told Fu Hanxiu, "Kid, this smelly girl probably just wants your body; besides, she's not pretty, so you'd better find someone else soon!"

Ye Qingran: "......"

"We have a child." Fu Hanxiu emphasized.

"What? You've caused a death?"

Ye Qingran rolled her eyes, "Yeah, two kids, still fraternal twins who look different, they're six."

Ye Qingran was quite willing to share her children's stories, especially since the other party is the children's great-great-grandfather!

"You had kids so early! Are you worried you're too plain to marry?"

Ye Qingran couldn't take it anymore, pulled out a set of silver needles, narrowed her eyes, "Let me give you a head acupuncture treatment!"

The silver needles glinted coldly in the candlelight, making Yun Batian shiver.

"No need..."

"Must do it!"

Thus, Yun Batian was forcibly given a set of acupuncture 'service' by Ye Qingran.

Whether or not the acupuncture worked, Yun Batian involuntarily began sharing Yun Ling's past with Ye Qingran.

Before Ye Qingran came to Yunzhong City, she had long heard that this Yun Tribe Clan Leader, grieving the loss of his beloved daughter, had become depressed and fallen ill.

But because of Yun Lan, she remained somewhat wary; now she has no doubt that Yun Batian's longing for Yun Ling is genuine and intense.

Fortunately, Yun Ling is still alive, and she brought her back to the Yun Tribe.

"Her life tablet is shattered; why are you so certain she's still alive?"

"She's my child; I just know she's still alive, no reason!" Yun Batian was obsessive.

Ye Qingran pursed her lips and pulled out the last silver needle.

"Take this pill. I'll come back in two days."

Having given her instructions, she said nothing more, grabbed Fu Hanxiu, and turned to leave.

On the way back, Ye Qingran told Fu Hanxiu, "This time I was quite rational."

"Hmm."

"If he knew beforehand that my mother was still alive, he would surely cancel the clan leader succession ceremony. I can't say it yet. I must expose Yun Lan's crimes before the whole Yun Tribe, so this succession ceremony cannot be canceled!"

"I know. You did the right thing; I would do the same."

"Thank you, Fu Hanxiu."

"Miss Ye, the Leader of the Spirit Chaser Wing sent someone to say that if you're willing, the gates of the Spirit Chaser Wing are always open for you."

Ye Qingran gave a noncommittal nod.

Yun Lu pondered repeatedly, then couldn't help but say, "Miss Ye, since our goals are the same as the Spirit Chaser Wing's, why not join them and cooperate? Wouldn't that be twice the result for half the effort?"

Ye Qingran looked at Yun Lu, "I originally planned to join the Spirit Chaser Wing, but I discovered a secret."

"A secret? What secret?" Yun Lu asked, puzzled.

Ye Qingran gave a mysterious smile, "The true identity of the Spirit Chaser Wing's Leader is my third uncle, Yun Zhongyue."

"What?" Yun Lu's pupils contracted sharply, a dark light flashing in his eyes.

"But everyone says Yun Zhongyue is a cripple who can't cultivate; how could he be the Leader of the Spirit Chaser Wing?"

"Who told you he's a cripple? Have you seen him?"

Yun Lu then realized, it seems no one has actually seen him...

"Mother, come quickly and be the judge for me and Xiao Hu!"

The child's voice came from not far away.

"I'll go accompany the children."

"Alright."

Yun Lu watched Ye Qingran's departing back, lowered his eyes slightly, and his thoughts were unknown.

Ye Qingran chatted briefly with the children, and upon seeing Yun Lu heading out of the mansion, she instructed the Han Xing beside her, "Xing Er, go find Fu Jiu and have him follow Yun Lu to see what he's doing." Fu Jiu possessed the stature of a Human Emperor; if he stalked someone, it would be hard to be discovered.

Han Xing's eyes flashed, "Miss, you suspect..."

Ye Qingran nodded.

"Alright, I'm going right now!"

Yun Lu left through the main gate, wound his way through twists and turns for a while, and sat down at an open‑air tea house.

He glanced left and right, then ordered a cup of tea.

Soon after, a young man sat down in front of him.

The young man had a square face and looked very ordinary.

"Grandpa, what happened?"

Yun Lu took a sip of tea and said softly, "Yun Zhongyue is the Leader."

The young man's tea cup slipped as he lifted it, nearly spilling water onto the table.

"Are you sure?"

"Ye Qingran told me herself."

"Could it be a trick?"

"It won't..."

"Do you need me to do anything?"

Yun Lu handed over a paper slip; the young man opened it and his complexion changed.

At that moment, Rain Dew stood up and left, completely unaware that their actions had already been under Fu Jiu's surveillance.

Fu Jiu saw that the young man's face was very striking, his aura somewhat familiar, so he ate a Qingming Pill given by Ye Qingran, and then wondered, if he's not Wu Xin, then who is he?
