Chapter 793: Is She Truly Ugly and Unsalted?

The sun rose in the east, and the Jade Autumn Sect was teeming with people.

Any sect with some reputation sent representatives, and in the vast Floating Life Realm, even if each sect sent only one person, that would still be a huge number.

Of course, the overwhelming majority came just for the excitement, or to witness it; the real protagonists were still the Three Great Sects.

To be more specific, it was Ye Qingran, Ye Feixing, and Liu Chenyu.

They represented the pinnacle of the younger generation of the Three Great Sects.

The millennial Jade Autumn Sect, with its vast territory, could accommodate so many people.

"Look, the Suspended King Hall and Zhai Xing Pavilion have arrived at the same time!"

At the entrance, a commotion arose; everyone looked in the same direction and saw two groups, dressed differently, almost side by side.

Leading one side was a young man, exceptionally handsome and upright in stature, though his eyes were somewhat gloomy.

Leading the other side was a young woman, stunningly beautiful, with a cold demeanor, like a goddess.

"It's Ye Feixing and Liu Chenyu!"

Everyone's expression was excited.

Ye Feixing and Liu Chenyu!

Although we had long expected to see the two Peerless Heaven's Pride today, we didn't expect them to appear together.

Both are super geniuses determined by innate talent, each with dragon- and phoenix-like features, dazzling as bright as the sun in the sky.

"Miss Liu Chenyu."

"Young Master Ye Feixing."

Liu Chenyu and Ye Feixing exchanged glances; though they smiled, the amusement didn't reach their eyes.

In the seven years of Jade Autumn Sect's decline, the competition between Zhai Xing Pavilion and Xuan Wang Hall grew fiercer, since everyone wants to become the top sect of the Floating Life Realm.

After greeting each other, the two led their respective sect members toward different directions.

Soon, the sect master of the Jade Autumn Sect appeared, accompanied by several Elders of the sect.

"Where is Ye Qingran?"

Yu Wuji was halfway exchanging pleasantries with the visitors when Liu Chenyu impatiently interrupted him.

Everyone's expression changed slightly as they looked at Liu Chenyu; indeed, Liu Chenyu, the top beauty of the Floating Life Realm, had the nerve to even slight the Jade Autumn Sect's master.

Yu Wuji showed a good temper, glanced at her, gave a faint smile, and said, less gently than his smile, "Friends of the Suspended King Hall, you've waited seven years; a brief moment shouldn't matter, right?"

The disciples of the Jade Autumn Sect looked at Yu Wuji with approving eyes; if the setting were different, they might even give him a thumbs‑up.

Liu Chenyu's eyes flashed with a dark glint, but his face remained unruffled; the people behind him from the Suspended King Hall spoke in a sarcastic tone, "What the Jade Sect master said is true, but Ye Qingran stood us up seven years ago, and after seven years still refuses to appear. Could it be that she's truly 'ugly and unsalted', unable to be seen?"

"If that's really the case, then never mind; we aren't demanding it anyway."

Those words caused a slight stir in everyone's hearts.

Could Ye Qingran really be as the Suspended King Hall people said, so ugly she cannot be seen?

Yu Wuji gave a faint smile, "Whether Ye Qingran is ugly or not, my words don't count, but you can ask the disciples of our Jade Autumn Sect."

With those words, the Jade Autumn Sect's disciples erupted.

Ye Qingran—ugly and unsalted?

The people of the Suspended King Hall really dare to say that!

"Friends of the Suspended King Hall, let me put it this way: if even our senior sister Ye can only be called ugly and unsalted, then aren't the people of the Suspended King Hall each terribly hideous?"

A disciple of the Jade Autumn Sect shouted loudly.

Those words sparked countless responses.

"Haha, that's right!"

"Exactly!"

"No doubt!"

Now the people of the Suspended King Hall's faces turned sour.

Here, it's the Jade Autumn Sect; they are fighting away from home, at a severe disadvantage, forced to swallow their grievances.

"Is that so? Then let Ye Qingran come out and show everyone!"

The people of the Suspended King Hall wouldn't believe Ye Qingran could be that beautiful! After all, their Liu Chenyu of the Suspended King Hall is the top beauty of the Floating Life Realm, dazzling all flowers, a nation‑shaking beauty, praised by the world as a goddess!

Ye Qingran, could she be as beautiful as the goddess of their Suspended King Hall?

Except for the Jade Autumn Sect's disciples, no one present had ever seen Ye Qingran's lovely face.

They were all curious about what Ye Qingran actually looks like.

"I heard someone said I'm ugly?"

A clear, resonant voice, tinged with playfulness, reached everyone's ears.

Everyone present was startled.

Ye Qingran has arrived!

That was their first thought.

Secondly, it was an appraisal of that voice.

It must be said, this was the most beautiful voice they'd ever heard, like a yellow warbler soaring from the valley, even like shattered jade of Kun Shan, surpassing heavenly music!

Whether Ye Qingran is beautiful or not, set that aside; her voice is truly pleasant!

At least, it's more pleasant than Liu Chenyu's voice!

"Never having seen the person, we first hear the voice; this voice is truly superb!"

"With such captivating voice, Ye Qingran's appearance must be similarly remarkable."

Ye Qingran's voice made Liu Chenyu furrow her brows.

If that voice belongs to Ye Qingran, it indeed threatens her.

As the words fell, a pure white figure descended from the sky, wearing a deep, simple, light gauze white dress that fluttered in the wind, her cloud-like hair flowing like a waterfall; the black-and-white contrast was beautiful to the extreme.

When everyone tried to catch a glimpse of her jade-like visage, they found it obscured by a veil, hazy, and itchy.

The disciples of the Jade Autumn Sect saw Ye Qingran, their eyes blazing with fervor.

Even though she now wore a veil and her features were unclear, her appearance had long been etched in their hearts.

"Senior Sister Ye!"

"Wuhu~"

"How beautiful!"

The disciples of the Jade Autumn Sect each went mad, each overwhelmed with excitement.

The members of the Lingyun Team took this scene to heart, feeling proud for Ye Qingran.

At some point, the academy's disciples began to regard Ye Qingran as an idol.

"Are you Ye Qingran?"

Liu Chenyu narrowed her eyes, staring at the half of Ye Qingran's face visible beneath the veil, a cold glint flashing in her gaze.

Liu Chenyu is the Floating Life Realm's universally acknowledged number one beauty, having held the title for years; she neither wishes nor allows anyone to take away this honor that belongs solely to her.

Ye Qingran's gaze lingered briefly on Liu Chenyu, then swept over everyone present as she said, "I am Ye Qingran; I have the honor of meeting you all."

"It really is Ye Qingran!"

Everyone's gaze somewhat froze, their hearts filled with deep emotion.

This person, whom countless in the Floating Life Realm have longed for over seven years, has finally appeared today amidst countless calls.

"Ye Qingran, I heard from the Jade Autumn Sect that your beauty is unparalleled, worthy of being called the Floating Life Realm's finest; with such beauty, isn't it a shame to wear a veil?"

"Seeing Ye Qingran wear a veil, the people of the Suspended King Hall were certain she must be too ugly to show her face; otherwise, if she were truly beautiful, why would she hide behind a veil?"
