Chapter 714

She has always possessed unparalleled grace, bright as the moon.

At this moment, revealing her stunning beauty was like a flower added to brocade.

Even though dazzling, it was more shocking than anything.

Because that face was far too familiar to many of them.

For a brief instant, they thought Yun Ling had returned!

Yun Lan's eyes flashed with a grim hawk.

Even though she had seen Ye Qingran's true form, when she now stood on Yun Tribe's ground, bright before her, it still made her very uncomfortable, as if she wanted to tear that face apart!

Yun Zhongyue stared at that face with blazing eyes, frozen as if turned to stone.

Yun Zhongyue didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment.

Even though the woman before him resembled Yun Ling by seven parts, Yun Zhongyue knew she was not his sister.

Yun Lan just claimed to be her aunt, saying their bodies share the same Yun Tribe Bloodline.

Doesn't that mean she is her sister's child, the continuation of her sister's bloodline?

This realization made Yun Zhongyue's eyes redden and his nose tingle.

"Sister's child..."

Yun Zhongyue murmured softly, savoring, as if within those simple few words lay countless stories and emotions.

What kind of feeling is this?

The sister who had been waited for so long had not returned; what arrived was not the sister herself, but her child...

Disappointment?

Somewhat.

Happy?

Extremely happy.

That figure and that face that entered his sight were etched into his heart.

He made a decision in an instant to cherish this niece.

Looking at her, the words she said after reviving the Phoenix Tail Flower in the artifact space that day flashed in his mind.

"Did you see? Those that have passed will eventually reappear."

It turned out she had already given him a hint unintentionally.

But he didn't understand then, and asked himself whether, since the departed could reappear, those who left might also return.

Facts proved that they would.

"You really are sister's... child?"

That unreal feeling filled Yun Zhongyue with unease.

Ye Qingran smiled, "My mother is called Yun Ling, oh, the Yun Ling who disappeared from the Yun Tribe back then."

What could move Yun Zhongyue's heartstrings more than Ye Qingran herself acknowledging it?

"I never expected that after all these years, sister's child would be so grown!"

Yun Zhongyue was filled with countless emotions.

He is still a bachelor, while his sister already has a child.

Does the sister's child's return mean the sister herself will soon return?

Yun Zhongyue restrained his excitement, "Niece, I am your third uncle, call me uncle!"

Ye Qingran was caught off guard.

Wasn't she just lamenting, on the verge of tears, shocked beyond measure a moment ago?

Why did the tone suddenly shift?

Yun Zhongyue walked toward Ye Qingran, wanting to get a good look at this precious niece.

But a tall figure, completely lacking tact, stepped between them, treating Ye Qingran as a proper person.

Yun Zhongyue, unable to see Ye Qingran, was displeased, glared at Fu Hanxiu and asked, "What are you doing?"

Fu Hanxiu wasn't afraid of offending Yun Zhongyue. Although he is Ye Qingran's uncle, in his view the weight of an uncle and a grandfather differs greatly.

"Don't scare her," Fu Hanxiu warned.

"I…"

Yun Zhongyue could not retort.

Indeed, he had just recognized his niece and needed to be restrained, absolutely must not scare her.

Yun Zhongyue calmed his excitement and began to look straight at Fu Hanxiu, "I never got a chance to ask, who are you?"

"I am her husband."

Fu Hanxiu's face remained unchanged, his heart untroubled.

Husband?

Yun Zhongyue could hardly believe his ears.

Previously, because he didn't know Ye Qingran was his niece, the two were affectionate, and he hadn't minded.

At this moment, he felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.

His newly recognized niece already had a man!

That feeling was no different from his own cabbage being trampled by a pig.

Heartache, discomfort.

"Is what he said true?"

"Hmm." Ye Qingran poked her head out from behind Fu Hanxiu and nodded vigorously.

"You little brat!"

Yun Zhongyue gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap that man who defiled his niece away with one palm.

Ye Qingran poked her head out again, "Let me introduce, this is the Emperor Sovereign of Peak of Contending for the Deer."

Ye Qingran smiled faintly, well-behaved and sensible.

Emperor Sovereign of Peak of Contending for the Deer?

Yun Zhongyue was shocked.

"Really?"

Ye Qingran nodded.

"Fine...."

Who would have thought this masked man is actually the famed Emperor Sovereign of Peak of Contending for the Deer?

"However..."

"So what if you're Emperor Sovereign? If you dare bully my niece, I'll fight you to the death!"

Yun Zhongyue spoke solemnly, appearing ready to perish together with Fu Hanxiu.

Although Yun Zhongyue is foolish, a warm current flowed through Ye Qingran's heart.

Perhaps, her decision was correct.

The Yun Tribe wasn't as wretched as she imagined.

Yun Lan was merely an exception.

Moreover, this third uncle, from now on she'll look after him!

"Fu Hanxiu, enough already." Ye Qingran twisted Fu Hanxiu's waist, gesturing with her eyes for him not to bully Yun Zhongyue.

"Third uncle, nice to meet you, please guide me."

Ye Qingran stepped out from behind Fu Hanxiu, extending her hand to Yun Zhongyue, as if greeting a friend.

Yun Zhongyue looked at the outstretched hand, startled for a moment, then broke into a brilliant smile that dazzled time.

"Niece, hello, nice to meet you, please guide me."

"However..."

But what he grasped was a big hand!

Yun Zhongyue raised his head, looking at that masked face, his expression darkened.

Fu Hanxiu curled the corner of his mouth, "Third uncle, nice to meet you, please guide me."

Yun Zhongyue: "......"

Ye Qingran watched her right hand being wrapped by Fu Hanxiu's left hand, her mouth twitching.

She was just shaking hands with her biological uncle...

This man, his possessiveness is so strong it leaves her speechless.

Papapa~

Yun Lan clapped hard, sneering, "How heartwarming."

"The niece is still biased toward her uncle, just like your mother." Yun Lan said in a sarcastic tone.

The smile on Yun Zhongyue's face gradually faded, his eyes like lightning shooting toward Yun Lan as he demanded, "Yun Lan, you already knew she was our niece, yet you concealed it from us and even tried to kill her! What exactly is your motive?"

Yun Lan didn't care much, "Third brother, just because she says that, you believe it? I said I didn't, would you believe me?"

"No way!"

Yun Lan scoffed, "If that's the case, what's there to say? I won't disturb your reunion, I'm leaving first!"

With Fu Hanxiu present, Yun Lan knew she couldn't move against Ye Qingran, nor could she take Yun Zhongyue away; staying would be pointless.

"Want to leave? Did I agree?"

Yun Lan had just turned when Ye Qingran's faint voice came from behind.

"How so? Do you want to kill me?"

Yun Lan didn't think so.

"I said, killing you would dirty my hands. But since you've come, I might as well collect some interest."

Ye Qingran's lips slowly curved into a wanton arc.
