Chapter 890

Look! What is that?

The crowd erupted, everyone looking up at the sky.

Above Tongtian Tai, a golden talisman was slowly forming, rectangular, huge—about one zhang long and half a zhang wide.

This is the talisman paper Lan Ling Wang took out, specially used for drawing talismans.

Lan Ling Wang hovered in midair, brandishing a huge wolf-hair brush, freely splashing red ink, looking like a master.

"Could this be the legendary talisman brush?"

"It must be! Young Master Lan Ling Wang, having studied talismans in the great sect of Xuyu, his accomplishment is beyond our reach!"

"How old is Young Master Lan Ling Wang this year? He can already draw such a complex talisman! Truly a peerless genius!"

Tongtian Lu naturally had no shortage of talisman masters; seeing Lan Ling Wang draw the talisman, many talisman masters present exclaimed in admiration.

Soon, Lan Ling Wang's talisman was completed.

Red traces covered the golden talisman paper, flickering with a faint golden light, like a floating carpet in the void.

Everyone looked up at the talisman, shock in their eyes.

Lan Ling Wang bathed in the golden light, glanced at the talisman he had drawn, a flicker of excitement in his eyes. He himself had not expected to break his own limits today, drawing a talisman he had never been able to draw before.

"This is the Heaven-Collapse Earth-Shatter Talisman, capable of slaying a novice sage!"

Lan Ling Wang paused intentionally here, observing everyone's reaction. As expected, upon hearing that this talisman possessed the power to slay a sage, everyone was stunned.

"So strong!"

Everyone marveled, casting admiring and envious glances at Lan Ling Wang.

At barely twenty years old, Lan Ling Wang can already draw a talisman capable of slaying a sage—what an astonishing achievement! His future is limitless; he is undoubtedly the most talented talisman master on Xuanmiao Continent, and even in Xuyu he would be considered a top-tier genius!

Lan Ling Wang's smile widened at the praise, his gaze toward Ye Qingran growing more contemptuous.

"My talisman is done; what about yours?"

Lan Ling Wang now felt elated, regaining his former confidence, his whole person radiating sharpness.

"Just that?"

Ye Qingran glanced at Lan Ling Wang's talisman, lightly shook her head, like a teacher seeing a student's poor grade.

Ye Qingran's reaction sparked heated discussion.

Especially Lady Lan, who frowned fiercely. What is Ye Qingran? On what basis does she question her son's talisman?

"Ye Qingran, what are you? My son Ling'er is a disciple of a great master in Xuyu who lacks masters! On what grounds do you look down on his talisman? You aren't even one-tenth as good as my son! I want to see what monstrosity you can draw!"

Lady Lan was practically beside herself with rage.

In Lady Lan's heart, her precious son Lan Ling Wang is the most outstanding person in the world. As for Ye Qingran, a lowly wretch from a backwater, she merely rose by beauty, latching onto Fu Hanxiu—what arrogance does she have?

Whenever Lady Lan wishes, she can order Fu Hanxiu, that jinx, to divorce Ye Qingran, even to expel her son from the household!

Ye Qingran's gaze fell on Lady Lan; her face showed no expression, but a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Although Lady Lan is Fu Hanxiu's mother, she utterly despises this woman.

She simply cannot understand how such an excellent person as Fu Hanxiu could end up with a mother like Lady Lan, who isn't even fit to be called human.

"You dote on Lan Ling Wang the most? Then today I'll make sure he loses all face!"

Ye Qingran narrowed her eyes, inwardly snorting.

In this world, no one can bully her man except herself!

Lan Ling Wang's smile gradually faded, replaced by a cold expression.

"Ye Qingran, you don't really think you can draw a talisman stronger than my Heaven-Collapse Earth-Shatter Talisman, do you?"

Ye Qingran raised her brows, "Why not? What is the Heaven-Collapse Earth-Shatter Talisman? Is it that impressive?"

Is the Heaven-Collapse Earth-Shatter Talisman that impressive?

Lan Ling Wang almost laughed in anger.

A talisman capable of slaying a novice sage, Ye Qingran defiantly retorted, "Is it that impressive?"

"Ye Qingran, if you lose, I will use this talisman to execute you on the spot!" Lan Ling Wang's eyes flashed with killing intent.

"You don't have that chance!"

Ye Qingran waved her index finger left and right, her tone full of disdain and contempt for Lan Ling Wang.

"Then let everyone see your talisman skill!" Lan Ling Wang's face turned fierce; he simply didn't believe Ye Qingran's talisman ability could surpass his.

Everyone's eyes focused on Ye Qingran, wondering whether she truly is a talisman master and can draw a talisman.

However, the people of Tongtian Lu still leaned toward Lan Ling Wang in their hearts, unconsciously thinking Ye Qingran's talisman ability is inferior to his.

As for Ling Shaoyang and others on the ninth floor of Tongtian Lou, they shook their heads, feeling it a pity that the people of Tongtian Lu have such short-sighted vision.

"Ah, just wait and see—these people are about to be slapped in the face by my sister Ran!" Xia Zhimeng shook her head and laughed.

Others joined in the laughter.

Upon reflection, it seems they too came about this way.

"Xiao Hu, help Mother get a sheet of paper."

"Xiao Chen, help Mother pick up a branch."

Ye Qingran's clear voice entered Tongtian Ge,

Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen didn't even ask why, nodding eagerly in agreement.

"All right, Mother!"

Then the two children went their separate ways to complete the tasks Mother had given them.

Soon, Xiao Hu brought the paper and Xiao Chen brought a branch to Ye Qingran's side.

"Mother, here's the branch you wanted."

"Mother, here's the paper you wanted."

Xiaohu Xiaocheng lifted their heads, giggling as they looked at Ye Qingran; when they smiled, neat white teeth showed. They were already delicate and cute; needless to say, how lovable they were, melting the hearts of countless people.

"Are they Ye Qingran's children? They're too adorable!"

"Ahhh! If my son were as well-behaved and handsome as them, I'd be willing to sacrifice a hundred years of my life!"

"Even if you overdrew a hundred lifetimes, you couldn't possibly have such an outstanding child!"

The appearance of Xiaohu Xiaocheng drew an enthusiastic response, who knows how many. Especially the women present, their maternal instincts surged, wishing they could snatch them home and hide them away.

"Great!"

Ye Qingran stroked her sons' heads, praising them without reservation.

"Hehe, Mom, keep it up!"

"Mom, you're the best!"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng have always adored their mother immensely.

Waiting for Xiaohu Xiaocheng to return to Tongtian Pavilion, Lan Ling Wang looked at the branch and sheet of paper in Ye Qingran's hand, unable to hide a look of contempt.
