Chapter 761: Thousand-Year Second!

"If I remember correctly, you, Bai Zifeng, are just the thousand-year second of the Bai Tribe, aren't you?"

Yun Qing looked at Ye Qingran in surprise.

She, is this to help her out of a bind?

Thousand-year second?

Bai Zifeng is proud and arrogant; he hates it most when others call him a thousand-year second!

His fierce, sinister gaze shifted toward Ye Qingran.

"Who are you, again?"

Bai Zifeng asked in a deep voice.

"Just a nameless nobody, you only need to know that you, this thousand-year second, have no right to spar with my cousin."

Yun Qing's gaze trembled as she looked at Ye Qingran, lips tightly pursed, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

At that moment, a member of the Bai Tribe leaned close to Bai Zifeng's ear and whispered a few words; Bai Zifeng's eyebrows lifted, and he curled his lips into a sly smile, "Who do you think I am? So it's the Daughter of the Cloud Spirit!"

When Bai Zifeng said that, many people present were startled and cast surprised glances at Ye Qingran.

The interlude before the entrance to the Soul-Cutting Sea was unknown to many, and now that they heard Ye Qingran is the Daughter of the Cloud Spirit, each was immensely shocked.

The news of the Daughter of the Cloud Spirit returning to the Yun Tribe spread like wildfire; almost everyone on Nan Yin Zhou knows it.

"It seems my fame isn't small!"

Ye Qingran smiled; a hint of contempt flickered in Bai Zifeng's eyes. 'What of the Daughter of the Cloud Spirit?' they thought. It is said she grew up in the Central Region; without the Yun Tribe's careful nurturing during those crucial years, even with great talent she would be useless!

"It seems you never tasted the feeling of power in the Central Region; otherwise you wouldn't become so arrogant after returning to the Yun Tribe. Ye Qingran, my fellow Bai people, what explanation will you give me?"

"Bai people?" Ye Qingran seemed not to understand.

Bai Zifeng snorted coldly, still trying to dodge responsibility?

"The ten or so people you gouged eyes and cut tongues at the entrance of the Soul-Cutting Sea are my Bai Tribe folk; even if they're just collateral branches, you have no right to lay a hand on them, right?"

"So those were Bai people!" Ye Qingran realized, "I thought they were stray wild dogs!"

Bai Zifeng's expression first froze, then the veins on his forehead bulged, his gaze growing even more fierce.

Damned Ye Qingran, actually mocking their Bai people as dogs!

Everyone present, hearing this, covered their mouths and snickered.

This Daughter of the Cloud Spirit is rather interesting!

"Ye Qingran, apologize to the Bai Tribe for me!"

Bai Zifeng shouted the command.

"What? Did I say something wrong? A bunch of beasts that only know how to bark and bite—if they're not wild dogs, then what? Wild boars?"

Yun Zhongyue shook her head in disagreement, "Xiao Ran'er, wild boars and wild dogs don't have such stinky mouths!"

"Third Uncle makes a good point!"

The crowd examined carefully, wondering if Yun Zhongyue was calling the Bai people worse than pigs and dogs?

"Ye Qingran!"

Bai Zifeng clenched his teeth in fury.

"What? You want to hit me? What to do? My two imperial uncles are here today; you probably don't have that skill yet. Why not go back and call your parents?"

Everyone looked at Bai Zifeng with sympathetic faces, thinking this might be the most humiliating moment of his life.

Though Bai Zifeng is quick to anger, having been immersed in the Bai Tribe's environment for years, he is truly clever and quickly composed himself.

"Daughter of the Cloud Spirit, I have underestimated you."

Ye Qingran smiled but said nothing.

Bai Zifeng's gaze swept over the crowd as he said leisurely, "It is said that your mother, Yun Ling, had unparalleled talent and was hailed as Nan Yin Zhou's top prodigy. As her daughter, you must have surpassed the blue, right?"

Ye Qingran only smiled without replying.

Bai Zifeng raised a mischievous eyebrow, a cold smile curling his lips, "Or perhaps the rumors of that time were merely Yun Tribe's lies? The reason Yun Ling vanished for so long was simply because great fame was hard to live up to? That's why she left?"

These words are thought‑provoking.

Back then, Yun Ling emerged brilliantly, her edge obvious, but she suddenly disappeared without a trace; many outsiders already held a skeptical attitude toward her.

When Bai Zifeng said that, he instantly shifted the contradiction onto Ye Qingran, implying that if she cannot display extraordinary talent, then the claim that Yun Ling was Nan Yin Zhou's top prodigy was also false!

Yun Zhongyue and Yun Zhongge, the brother pair, could not tolerate anyone slandering their sister; had Ye Qingran not intervened, they would have already acted to teach this ignorant, arrogant junior a lesson!

"You're right, I truly am the blue surpassed by its own shade, and my sons even more so."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched.

I've seen confidence, but never this much!

Sons?

The crowd looked again beside Ye Qingran, at the two children in Yun Zhongyue and Yun Zhongge's arms, feeling slightly surprised.

These two children are Ye Qingran's?

Xiaohu Xiaocheng stepped out of the great‑uncle's arms and stood beside Ye Qingran.

"Mother."

The two looked up at Ye Qingran, calling her, as if announcing her identity.

"Ying ying ying, so cute!"

"Ah ah ah! What kind of divine little handsome boy is this?"

"They're just too cool!"

Among those present were many women, who simply could not resist Xiaohu Xiaocheng's cool, handsome, soft‑cute onslaught!

Bai Zifeng looked at Ye Qingran with contempt, thinking that she indeed came from a remote region; even these young children are already so grown, and their father is probably just an obscure, unknown figure.

"Since that's the case, you must be able to ascend the thirteenth Thunder Peak, perhaps even trigger the Celestial Thunder's extinction," Bai Zifeng said with ill intent. He didn't truly believe it. Not to mention how difficult it is to trigger the Celestial Thunder's extinction, even reaching the thirteenth Thunder Peak already makes most people sigh in awe!

He concluded that Ye Qingran cannot, and her children are even less likely!

"Uncle, it seems you yourself have not managed to trigger the Heavenly Thunder Silence," Xiao Hu smiled pure and cute.
