Chapter 897: Princess?

"So much nonsense!" Fu Hanxiu said lightly, his breath sinking, and the Lan family members were instantly flung backwards, scattered in all directions.

Lan Shu was also startled, not expecting Fu Hanxiu's strength to be so great.

"Kid, I advise you to stop now! Otherwise White Horse Temple won't let you go unpunished!"

Lan Shu directly invoked the White Horse Temple of Xuyu.

Fu Hanxiu's strength is formidable; although he may not be his opponent, he does not wish to clash with him at this moment—if he retreats, that would be best; otherwise...

Lan Shu was brimming with confidence; White Horse Temple is one of the top ten temples in the realm, renowned far and wide. Even people of Xuyu would revere it, let alone the lower classes of Xuanmiao Continent?

"Perfect, I also want to know whether the Elders of White Horse Temple are all as... weak as you?"

Lan Shu's complexion darkened sharply.

How many years has it been since anyone dared speak to him like that?

A murderous intent of overwhelming magnitude surged from Lan Shu's body, icy and fierce. Just as Lan Shu prepared to strike, a figure darted forward.

"Princess?!"

What?

The crowd all froze.

Princess?

Hua Luo, who is he calling "princess"?

Hua Luo had already stepped before Ye Qingran, looking at her with a surge of excitement in his eyes.

The master, though not very reliable, truly knows a lot. He has spent his whole life searching for the Ruinous King's Sword and knows many secrets of Ruinous.

The master said that only descendants of Divine Emperor His Majesty's bloodline can wield Ruinous.

Previously, when Ruinous emerged, many thought it was just a sporadic flare-up, as it had been many times before. Only the master believed that a Divine Emperor His Majesty bloodline had appeared, because he sensed this Ruinous's reaction was abnormal.

So, is Ye Qingran the bloodline descendant of the Divine Emperor His Highness mentioned by the master?

If she is, then isn't she the temple's princess?

Hua Luo's gaze grew increasingly fiery.

As for Ye Qingran, she was unusually stunned.

Princess?

Her?

"Young Master Hua Luo must have mistaken someone, right?"

Ye Qingran smiled and shook her head.

"There shouldn't be any!" Hua Luo also shook his head, his face serious, "This sword is not an ordinary sword; it is the Ruinous King's Sword, and only the Divine Emperor bloodline can wield it!"

Hua Luo wasn't trying to hide anything; his words reached everyone's ears.

For a moment, the vast crowd fell silent.

Everyone's gazes gradually solidified.

Hua Luo claimed Ye Qingran was the Divine Emperor's princess, with Divine Emperor blood flowing through her?!

The Divine Emperor!

That is the King of Shen Domain, a figure who stands atop the pantheon! Even in the cloud of strongmen in Xuyu, the Divine Emperor stands at the pinnacle!

The descendants of the Divine Emperor's bloodline—what supreme honor that is!

Lan Shu was also stunned.

The sword turned out to be the Ruinous King's Sword? The ancient luminous pearl of the Divine Temple that was left outside?

He suddenly felt a chill surge from his spine into his body.

He had just tried to privately swallow Ruinous?

If the Divine Temple learned of his crime, he...

"No, it should be Hua Luo who misidentified..." Lan Shu gently shook his head, unwilling to accept the truth before him.

Not only the Lan family members, but even the friends who know Ye Qingran well were all dumbfounded.

If Hua Luo hadn't misidentified, then Sister Ran's mysterious father would be the Divine Emperor from the Divine Temple of Xuyu, a top-tier big shot?!

"My god! Sister Ran is indeed awesome, even her father is super awesome!"

Xia Zhimeng no longer knew how to describe her feelings.

She watched Ye Qingran from Xiliang City as she kept going full throttle, never expecting even her lineage to be similarly overpowered!

Ye Qingran's eyes flickered.

It's not that she hadn't considered the issue; she just found it somewhat unbelievable.

Could her so-called cheap father really be the Divine Emperor Hua Luo mentioned?

"Do you know what its current situation is?"

Ye Qingran didn't dwell on her lineage; after all, she already had her own family, so the cheap father didn't seem that important.

Besides, if that cheap father turned out to be a scumbag, she'd rather not have him!

Hua Luo looked at Ruinous and said, "It's emitting a signal; the Divine Temple must be in trouble."

Ye Qingran's expression changed slightly, "Is it serious?"

Hua Luo smiled faintly, "It's not a big problem; His Highness the Divine Emperor is very powerful, Xuyu has almost no rivals, and with so many strong beings, who would dare act rashly in the Divine Temple?"

Ye Qingran nodded; although Hua Luo's words made sense, for some reason a faint unease flickered in her heart.

It always felt that something was off!

She turned her head to glance at Fu Hanxiu, saw him smiling while gazing at her, and inexplicably felt something drifting away from her...

That feeling was strange; she shook her head, trying to shake it off.

After a short while, Ruinous quieted, and Ye Qingran felt she could once again control Ruinous.

She raised her palm, a thought flickered, and the ruined one instantly turned into flowing light, returning to Ye Qingran's hand.

Seeing this scene, Hua Luo's eyes flashed with a strange light.

He can now basically be certain that Ye Qingran is of the Divine Emperor's bloodline, the temple's little princess!

"Great! The temple finally has a true princess!"

Why say "true"?

Because the Divine Emperor adopted an orphan, a girl named Nichang; since the temple has few girls and Nichang is truly outstanding, she is deeply adored by everyone in the temple.

However, Hua Luo doesn't like her much, always feeling she is somewhat hypocritical.

Now, having found the real temple princess, he can finally diminish Nichang's prestige!

With the temple princess's status backing her, how could the Lan family dare to provoke Ye Qingran? Even the scheming Lan Shou wouldn't act rashly before the matter is clarified.

This year's Tongtian Grand Gathering ended hastily. Unlike previous years when the selected people heading to Xuyu left a deep impression, this year none of those people were remembered; instead, Ye Qingran left an indelible impression on them.

"Princess, would you like to return to the temple with me?"

After returning to the Tongtian Pavilion, Hua Luo looked at Ye Qingran with an expectant expression.

If the Divine Emperor learns he has a daughter, he would be very pleased, right?

Especially those Supreme Elders, they'd be even happier.

Hua Luo smiled; he felt his Xuanmiao journey truly paid off, not only finding the ruined one, but also locating the temple's princess lost outside!

"Young Master Hua Luo, the matter hasn't been clarified yet; don't address me like that."

Hua Luo insisted, "It can't be wrong."

Ye Qingran was too lazy to argue with Hua Luo.

"You go back first; I'll go to Xuyu, but not now."

Ye Qingran said softly.

She would of course go to Xuyu, but she needs some time to prepare. After all, Xuyu is a very special place; once there, she may not return for a long time, so she must be fully prepared.

Moreover, before she goes, she must return to the Yun Tribe, otherwise Yun Batian would weep?

"Alright…" Hua Luo felt a slight disappointment. But then he thought, having found the princess, what's there to be disappointed about?

He decided to return to the temple first, to tell everyone this good news!

Hua Luo left that same day.

However, he never expected his return journey to be anything but smooth.
