Chapter 820: She Is Absolutely Not Ye Qingran!

"Who comes?!"

Immediately, guards from the Zhu Lu Summit rushed forward and surrounded the two of them.

"It's me!"

Fu Er stood in front of Ye Qingran, his handsome appearance highly recognizable.

"Fu Er?!"

The guards, upon seeing Fu Er, exchanged glances, clearly quite surprised.

Wasn't Fu Er punished by Your Majesty to be sent to Wolong City to guard the border? How did he return on his own, even bringing a woman to trespass the forbidden Lu Shen Feng!

Ye Qingran saw Fu Hanxiu from afar.

Through the void, looking at the Great Array not far away, Fu Hanxiu's familiar figure and appearance— they were the person that had haunted her thoughts these past days!

But at this moment, they were standing together with another woman!

And that woman, at this moment, occupied her body!

As for Fu Hanxiu, they had noticed her the instant Ye Qingran appeared.

Their face showed no expression change.

However, no one saw the fingers at their side move, then clenched into a fist.

"Fu Er, I don't recall letting you return to the Zhu Lu Summit, did I?"

Fu Hanxiu held both hands behind their back and, through the void, questioned.

Fu Er knelt directly on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I returned to the Zhu Lu Summit on my own this time because of an urgent matter!"

"Speak!"

Fu Er pointed at Luo Qingcheng and, seeing a slight change in Luo Qingcheng's expression, shouted, "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by her; she is not Ye Qingran at all, but Luo Qingcheng!"

What?!

With those words, almost everyone present was stunned.

Fu Er said the woman beside Fu Hanxiu was not Ye Qingran, but Luo Qingcheng!

If they recall correctly, the Holy Maiden of Wuji Hall is named Luo Qingcheng!

Hearing Fu Er's words, Luo Qingcheng's delicate body trembled slightly, her fingernails digging into her flesh from her sleeve, and she kept reminding herself to stay calm.

Ye Qingran had already been killed by Chi Wu's secret technique, reduced to ash, and even though Fu Er doubted her, there was no evidence!

Fu San should be the most shocked.

"No wonder..."

No wonder he always felt something was off about this Ye Qingran; it turns out she was never Ye Qingran at all, but possessed by Luo Qingcheng!

"Luo Qingcheng, you damned harlot, watch me..."

Luo Qingcheng looked aggrieved, "I'm not, I didn't, I don't know what you all are talking about!"

"Fu Er, why do you defame me? Is it because I caused you to almost lose your life, so you hold a grudge against me?"

Fu Er, unable to contain his anger, said, "Is that so? If you are Ye Qingran, then who is she?" While speaking, Fu Er, under everyone's gaze, pointed at Ye Qingran.

At this moment, Ye Qingran, possessing a plain girl's body, was unremarkable in appearance.

Yet, even so, the radiance emanating from her soul could not be concealed.

Madam Lan clearly sensed this, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.

Although Luo Qingcheng repeatedly claimed Ye Qingran was certainly dead, as someone who had been through it, she knew that nothing in this world is absolute.

Could it be that she truly is Ye Qingran?

Madam Lan squinted and said, "Fu Er, you say she is Ye Qingran? Isn't that a joke?"

Madam Lan sneered, "Everyone knows Ye Qingran's unparalleled beauty and charm; how could she be such an unremarkable woman?"

Fu Er pointed at Fu Hanxiu and explained, "Your Majesty, she truly is Ye Qingran! When the Sea of Severed Souls occurred, Luo Qingcheng used Chi Wu's secret technique to force Ye Qingran's soul out of her body, intending to reduce her to ash. She then occupied Ye Qingran's body, trying to replace her as the lady master of my Zhu Lu Summit! But Ye Qingran's luck was great; she borrowed a corpse to revive in the body of a just‑deceased person..."

Luo Qingcheng's heart throbed sharply upon hearing this.

Ye Qingran, really not dead?

She stared sharply at Ye Qingran, seeing that although her looks were ordinary, that gaze...

Her heart skipped!

Is it her?

Really Ye Qingran?

"No, that's impossible..."

Fu Hanxiu listened expressionlessly; after Fu Er finished, they said coolly, "Fu Er, are you done?"

Fu Er's eyes widened gradually.

Your Majesty actually didn't believe what he said.

"My woman, I can't tell for myself; need you all to teach me?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingcheng let out a sigh of relief.

She truly was about to be scared to death just now.

She didn't expect the Emperor Sovereign to believe her.

This is really great!

Even if the other side truly is Ye Qingran, she no longer fears anything!

After all, the Emperor Sovereign's authenticity is indistinguishable, and he doesn't love Ye Qingran much anyway!

"Your Majesty..."

Fu Er still wanted to explain something, but Fu Hanxiu cut him off.

"Your Majesty, I believe Fu Er's words!"

"Fu San, do you also want to taste the punishment that Fu Er once endured?"

Fu San wore an expression of disbelief.

Your Majesty, when did you become so incompetent?

The two were anxious as fire, both looking at Ye Qingran, hoping she could persuade Fu Hanxiu.

"Fu Hanxiu, it's me."

Ye Qingran's voice was very calm; even though the tone differed from before, the manner was almost unchanged.

Fu San had been by Ye Qingran's side for a long time, so when he heard that voice he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"Attendants, seize them for me!"

At Fu Hanxiu's command, someone immediately rushed up and seized Ye Qingran and Fu Er.

"Fu San, Soul Binding Array, continue!"

When Fu Hanxiu said the Soul Binding Array should continue, Luo Qingcheng's eyes lit up.

"It seems the Emperor Sovereign truly trusts me!"

Her heart was filled with delight.

At this moment, she unbelievably hoped that the ugly woman was indeed Ye Qingran; she wanted her to stay alive, and to witness with her own eyes how the Emperor Sovereign pampered her!

When the time came, she would make Ye Qingran her servant, trailing behind her every day, causing her to be unable to obtain what she begged for, and to die in agony!

"I refuse!"

Fu San struggled for a moment, and for the first time in his life disobeyed Fu Hanxiu's order, even Fu Er stared at him in shock.

Fu San pressed his lips together, saying nothing.

He truly could not become an accomplice to cruelty.

Even if the punishment for defying the order was severe, he would gladly accept it.

The Talisman in Fu San's hand was taken back by Fu Hanxiu.

Seeing Ye Qingran and the others being seized, Fu Hanxiu was intent on making Luo Qingcheng his Soul Mate, and Lady Lan's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam.

"What a fool! Compared to my son Lan Ling Wang, she's not even close!"

Lady Lan murmured softly.

But being a bit foolish is fine; otherwise she wouldn't be able to control him!

Once Fu Hanxiu and Luo Qingcheng become Soul Mates, as long as she controls Luo Qingcheng, Fu Hanxiu will never be able to escape her grasp, right?

A hint of smugness flashed in Lady Lan's eyes.

At that moment, Fu Hanxiu activated the Talisman, and the Great Array was unleashed!
