Chapter 899: People in the Moon

Receiving Ye Qingran's praise (well, let's call it praise), Qin Feng and Ji Feng both scratched their heads, their smiles three parts naive, four parts joyful, and three parts relieved.

Heaven knows how nervous they were before learning they could see Ye Qingran today, fearing she might be displeased with their progress.

However, the result was good; their efforts were not in vain.

Aside from the four leaders, Long Ya, the remaining nearly four hundred Jiuzhou Legion members each shone with vigor, their eyes full of admiration.

This one is the spiritual pillar of their Jiuzhou Legion, the god of all Jiuzhou Legion members!

Although some have never seen Ye Qingran, the legends about her are already etched in their minds.

"Wow, so many big brothers!" a group of little girls were stunned.

This was their first time seeing so many big brothers gathered together. The key is that these big brothers are all young, brimming with youthful charm, in the prime of their lives.

Though not everyone is handsome, they exude righteousness, with upright and strong bearing, that inner‑to‑outer spirit that makes hearts flutter!

The introverted ones are silently drooling nearby, while the extroverted have already started mingling inside; the atmosphere is exceedingly harmonious.

Ye Qingran's party returned to the Yun Tribe's Neicheng; Yun Batian was already waiting at the gate. Upon seeing Ye Qingran return with the children, he rushed forward, cradling two great‑grandchildren, smiling at Ye Qingran, his heart couldn't be more fulfilled.

At that moment, the Yun Tribe's old steward came over, whispered a few words into Yun Batian's ear, and Yun Batian's expression instantly darkened.

"You unfilial brat!"

This scolding was truly resonant, its booming voice carried far, and everyone was stunned by his tirade.

"What's going on?" Ye Qingran blinked, vaguely sensing a certain possibility.

"This…" the old steward looked conflicted, unsure whether to speak.

Yun Batian suddenly let out a heavy hum, gritted his teeth and said, "What else could it be? Isn't it that damned brat!"

"Great‑uncle?"

"Who else could it be besides him?"

Yun Batian replied irritably.

This unambitious eldest son, truly wouldn't let him die of anger.

Not inheriting the family business is one thing, but on top of that they have no home and are away for years.

He doesn't inherit the family business, that's one thing, but he also has no home, staying away for years.

He thought, the second son seeks his destiny elsewhere, so he tolerated it.

But what he never expected was that this unfilial brat actually brought a man back, saying they would grow old together.

Ah—

Thinking of this makes his heart ache.

Now, the Purple Extreme Pill Sect won't wait any longer, taking that Fox Spirit to Xuyu!

Is this planning an elopement?

It makes him furious!

Ye Qingran, after hearing Yun Batian's fiery description, was stunned.

Great‑uncle went to Xuyu?

"Great‑grandfather, don't be angry, you still have us!"

Xiao Chen patted Yun Batian's back, his voice soft and sweet, incredibly soothing.

"Exactly, you still have us!" Yun Zhongyue, obliviously, leaned in, only to be pushed away by Yun Batian.

"Get out, get out, get out, you two also give me no peace!"

Yun Batian felt his fate was tragic, what kind of twisted fruits had he birthed?

At least his daughter is ambitious, she wasn't spoiled in childhood!

When he looked down again at Xiao Chen and Xiao Hu, Yun Batian's gaze softened, "You truly are great‑grandfather's beloved!"

Look, the great‑grandchildren are so obedient and sensible! Not a ten‑thousand times more reliable than his sons!

"You are the great‑grandfather's little cotton coat!"

As for his sons, they're all death charms!

Looking at Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen, Yun Batian's temper finally eased a bit.

"All of a sudden, why did great‑uncle go to Xuyu?"

Ye Qingran was puzzled.

"Hehe, isn't it because of that Fox Spirit?"

Yun Batian mentioned that the man who lured Yun Zhonghe's soul away was highly unwelcome. A man, with both male and female aspects, like a Fox Spirit.

Ye Qingran's eyebrows lifted slightly, a strange glint flashing in her eyes.

"From this, that person seems not simple…" Ye Qingran thought silently.

When Ye Qingran told Yun Batian about her plan to go to Xuyu, his expression grew solemn.

As the Clan Leader of the Yun Tribe, he naturally knew about Xuyu; apart from a slight link via the Tongtian Road, the Xuanmiao Continent and Xuyu have been separated for years.

They have been isolated for many years.

Xuyu was originally the primary world, stronger and more mysterious than Xuanmiao;

After so many years of sealing, the gap between the two worlds has widened, and he worries that his great‑granddaughter going there could be dangerous.

Even though his heart worries about their safety and he is reluctant to see them leave, he will respect their choice.

He hopes they can stay by his side, and even more hopes they can live the life they desire.

Yun Batian arranged a grand banquet to see off Ye Qingran's party.

At that time, Ye Qingran will take Ling Shaoyang and other good friends, along with Jiuzhou Legion members, to Xuyu.

The banquet will be held during the Mid‑Autumn Festival.

On that day, Fu Hanxiu, having finished the matters at the Peak of the Deer Hunt, arrived at the Yun Tribe.

In the autumn of the Renxu year, the seventh month had reached the full moon.

In the distance, the Yun Cang River wound far away.

A gentle breeze came, and the water surface remained still.

After a short while, the moon rose above East Mountain and lingered between the bullfighting grounds.

White dew stretched across the river, and the water's sheen met the sky.

The bright moon and evening breeze most easily stir a person's sensuous side.

Another autumn has arrived!

Ye Qingran stood on a height, gazing at the distant Yun Cang River, and couldn't help feeling a slight melancholy.

Unwittingly, she had been in this world for almost seven years.

A warm heat pressed against her back, and Ye Qingran's lips curved, "Aren't you supposed to be drinking with grandfather?"

"I missed you."

The voice was tinged with a hint of drunkenness.

Ye Qingran was surprised; how much had he drunk?

She had to know that Fu Hanxiu could hold a thousand cups without getting drunk.

"Grandfather was happy, so I drank a little more."

Ye Qingran turned away, and by the moonlight she glimpsed three extra points of drunkenness on Fu Hanxiu's peerlessly handsome face, his eyes also tinged with a hint of haziness.

"Fu Hanxiu, did you get drunk on purpose?"

"Hmm."

Fu Hanxiu nodded, lowered his gaze, and looked at Ye Qingran earnestly, carefully, and affectionately.

"Ranyer, when we return from Xuyu, shall we get married, okay?"

Ye Qingran was startled, then realized Fu Hanxiu's drunkenness was a pretense.

Her heart fluttered slightly.

Fu Hanxiu had always wanted to marry her, but unwilling to cause her any grievance, he wanted to wait until Yun Ling awoke, and also until she found her birth father, so that her parents could witness it with their own eyes.

"Alright!"

"A promise is a promise?!"

"A promise is a promise!"

Fu Hanxiu smiled, like a child who had received candy.

Under the full moon, the two embraced and kissed; from afar it seemed as if they were within the moon itself, exquisitely beautiful.

Today, after all, is a day of reunion.

Halfway through the banquet, someone reported that the lord of Huangjin City requested an audience.

"The lord of Huangjin City?"

Yun Zhongyue recalled that the Yun Tribe had no connections with the Huangjin City of Beimingzhou. While puzzling over this, a melodious voice was heard.

"Please let him in!"
