Chapter 929: Guarding Behind

The voice, laced with Mysterious Force, reached the ears of everyone in the cafeteria.

Everyone flinched.

Someone actually dares to cause trouble in the cafeteria?

The target is still the recently celebrated Ye Qingran!

The academy disciples instinctively stared at Ye Qingran, puzzled, wondering if beautiful people are always so trouble‑making.

When Ye Qingran heard the voice, she was slightly startled, then thought, she hadn't really offended anyone lately, had she?

Could it be those two bratty kids?

Xiao Hu Xiao Chen: (•_•)?

At that moment, Yang Jiaomi answered Ye Qingran's confusion.

"It's the abbot of White Horse Temple, Ye Qingran; this time you're doomed!" Yang Jiaomi crossed her arms, her face full of schadenfreude.

The abbot of White Horse Temple?

Ye Qingran blinked; her first thought was that she hadn't offended White Horse Temple, then she recalled that Wu Zhishang was the abbot's offspring.

She crippled Wu Zhishang, the sole heir of the White Horse Temple abbot; how could they not come after her?

"Seems I won't have the honor of tasting your cooking," Ye Qingran shrugged toward the opposite Yun Zhonghe.

"No problem, if you want to eat, I can cook for you anytime," Yun Zhonghe said with a smile, shaking his head, his tone full of indulgence.

Ye Qingran forced a dry laugh, feeling a pang of guilt.

"If you don't come out, don't blame me for being…" the shouting from outside rang again.

Yun Zhonghe's eyes darkened, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

In front of the cafeteria doors, a group exuded a fierce aura, clearly hostile.

Especially the leader, whose hair was already white, yet his spirit still glittered, eyes bright, his aura, even faintly leaking, was enough to pressurize everyone.

To his right, Lan Shu's gaze was dim and inexplicable.

At that moment, several figures stepped out of the cafeteria, followed by many academy disciples.

Seeing that familiar figure, Lan Shu's complexion changed sharply.

"It's her! It's really her!!!" Lan Shu thought inwardly, utterly shocked.

Only he knew that Ye Qingran's identity might be intricately linked to the Shen Domain's Divine Palace.

However, on second thought, Lan Shu gradually calmed down.

Putting aside whether Ye Qingran is truly a Shen Domain princess, even if she is, Princess Nìcháng has long secured her position in the Shen Domain; she has already informed Princess Nìcháng of Ye Qingran's existence, and by now Princess Nìcháng must have received the news and would certainly not allow Ye Qingran to return to the Divine Palace!

After all, the Shen Domain can have only one princess!

"You are Ye Qingran?" the White Horse Temple abbot squinted, murderous aura thickening around him.

Ye Qingran raised an eyebrow, "That's right, I'm the Ye Qingran who crippled your son, rendering him unable to live as a human!"

Sss~

The disciples widened their eyes, their gazes at Ye Qingran unsure whether they were terrified or reverent.

This guy is being overly arrogant, isn't he?

After all, he's the abbot of White Horse Temple!

Although White Horse Temple's influence in the Spirit Realm doesn't match Wànlíng Xuégōng's, it is still a respectable power! The abbot of White Horse Temple is even considered an emperor‑level strongman!

"Even when death is at your doorstep you still talk back? Ye Qingran, you don't really think that just because you're a member of Wànlíng Xuégōng you have an invincible life‑ticket, do you? Truly …"

Clap~

Yang Jiaomi sneered mockingly, but before she could finish, a crisp sound cut her off.

Yang Jiaomi staggered, nearly falling, and when she looked down, two teeth, mixed with blood, lay on the ground, glaringly obvious.

The academy disciples' bodies shivered like tigers.

How ferocious, Ye Qingran!

Sure enough, the rumors were true; Ye Qingran is a ruthless figure not to be trifled with!

Mother, you're right; the prettier the woman, the more poisonous!

"Y‑you dare hit me?" Yang Jiaomi stared at Ye Qingran in disbelief, flames of extreme anger burning in her eyes.

"I'm hitting you, you talkative bastard!"

Ye Qingran said coldly.

Yang Jiaomi clenched her teeth; if she couldn't defeat Ye Qingran, she would have fought her to the death!

"Abbot, I was a fellow disciple of Wu Zhishang; I was present when he was crippled, and I'm certain it was her hand. Her methods are extremely cruel; a person so ruthless doesn't deserve to live!"

Yang Jiaomi turned to Wu Tian, crying out loudly.

Wu Tian's gaze fell lightly on Yang Jiaomi's face, and he nodded gently, "I understand; I won't let her go unpunished!"

Finishing, he looked at Ye Qingran, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Ye Qingran tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said, "Of course. Wu Zhishang deserved it."

"You!" Wu Tian's eyes widened in fury, his angry face twisted, as if he wanted to tear Ye Qingran's body to pieces!

"You brat, you're courting death!" Wu Tian shouted, ordering those nearby, "Lan Shu, go capture her for me!"

If this weren't Wànlíng Xuégōng, where killing is forbidden, he would have executed Ye Qingran on the spot!

Lan Shu slightly frowned, feeling a bit reluctant.

Before Ye Qingran's death, he wasn't very willing to clash with her.

Ye Qingran had long noticed Lan Shu, but she showed no surprise. After all, back on the Tongtian Road, she already knew Lan Shu was an Elder of White Horse Temple in the Spirit Realm; today the abbot Wu Tian of White Horse Temple came, so Lan Shu's following was not odd.

Meeting Lan Shu's gaze, Ye Qingran tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Elder Lan Shu, I hope you are well."

Wu Tian frowned at the sight and asked Lan Shu, "Lan Shu, do you know Ye Qingran?"

Lan Shu shook his head. "Host, it's like this: this Ye Qingran also came from Xuan Miao; back then she was on Tongtian Road and had a clash with our Lan family…"

Lan Shu did not tell Wu Tian the secret that Ye Qingran might be a Shen Domain princess.

Wu Tian nodded after hearing that and said, "Then it's perfect for you to capture her."

"This…" Lan Shu was reluctant, but he could not resist and could only bite the bullet.

He could only pray that nothing goes awry and that Princess Ni Chang would swiftly deal with Ye Qingran!

Lan Shu stepped forward a few paces, his aura gradually rising until the breath of the Human Emperor's pinnacle spread outward, filling this space, and an invisible aura suddenly formed.

"Ye Qingran, I advise you to surrender and not make a reckless resistance!" Lan Shu shouted, displaying the authority of the White Horse Temple Elder unmistakably.

To onlookers the words might have seemed ordinary, but Ye Qingran clearly caught the second meaning.

She smiled, about to speak, when a figure leapt in front of her and shielded her from behind.
