Chapter 952: Melodramatic plot

Let go of me...

However, Yun Zhonghe had already lost part of his sanity, failing to notice Qiqi's oddness, or perhaps he did notice but thought Qiqi was using a self-sacrificing tactic.

Seeing Yun Zhonghe not let go, Qiqi gritted her teeth, finally raised her hand, and slapped him hard across the face.

Yun Zhonghe, from now on we are severed, with no more ties!

Taking advantage of Yun Zhonghe's stunned moment, Ling Qiye flashed over, pulled Qiqi away, and retreated to the side.

Yun Zhonghe's pupils kept constricting, and Qiqi's ruthless words still echoed in his ears.

She said, she wanted to sever ties with him?

A hint of night rose from his eyes, dark aura surging, he suddenly lifted his gaze, seeing Ling Qiye's hand holding Qiqi, his eyes sinking.

Let her go!

No.

Ling Qiye slowly shook his head.

Courting death! Yun Zhonghe roared, charging at Ling Qiye.

Ling Qiye narrowed his eyes, calmly uttering two words, "A Nu."

The follower who had always been with Ling Qiye, his presence almost nil, suddenly lifted his head, a terrifying aura emanating from his whole body.

In the next instant, he had flashed to stand before Ling Qiye, blocking Yun Zhonghe.

The aura spread, the Nirvana Emperor's aura so heavy it made it hard to breathe!

A Nu was an unprepossessing middle-aged man, usually bowed and humble, sunk into the dust; no one expected that such a person would actually be a Nirvana Emperor!

The contest between the two Nirvana Emperors quickly alarmed the Wànlíng Xuégōng; several figures drifted over, led by a stern-faced Wanqi Zifeng.

Gōngzhǎng, that young Nirvana Emperor is the cook from the West Courtyard Cafeteria, Yun Zhonghe! The person who came with Wanqi Zifeng instantly recognized Yun Zhonghe.

Wanqi Zifeng nodded.

Last time Wanqi Zifeng was at the West Courtyard Cafeteria, speaking up for Ye Qingran and revealing his Nirvana realm, he had long heard about it.

Could the two of you, for my sake, sit down to resolve any conflict? If there is a reason you must fight, please settle it outside the academy.

Seeing the situation escalate, Qiqi gritted her teeth, "Yun Zhonghe, will you ever stop?"

Yun Zhonghe didn't even look at her, "Going out to fight me is fine."

"A Nu, go."

Ling Qiye nodded.

As the words fell, the two figures flashed and flew outward; Ling Qiye and Qiqi closely followed.

"Have someone open the barrier before the gate, so as not to harm the innocent," Wanqi Zifeng instructed the person beside him.

"Yes, Gōngzhǎng." Ling Department Head received the order and withdrew.

Come on, let's go watch too.

The battle of the two Nirvana Emperors was no trivial matter; moreover, such a high-level battle hadn't occurred in the Wànlíng Xuégōng for a long time.

Walking back to her residence, Ye Qingran felt the fluctuations of two emperors' auras; she raised her eyebrows, a glint flashing in her eyes.

Soon, several disciples ran toward the academy gate while shouting:

Quick, there's a Nirvana Great Emperor's battle at the academy gate!

It seems one of the emperors is the cook from our academy's West Courtyard Cafeteria!

Such a high-level battle is rare; we must hurry, or we'll regret it for eternity!

……

Ye Qingran and her mother and son watched as several disciples disappeared from sight.

Mom, what they said sounds like our great uncle!

Ye Qingran nodded, "Exactly, they're talking about your great uncle."

However, Ye Qingran wondered, who was Yun Zhonghe fighting?

The opponent was a Nirvana Emperor of the same realm; could it be an elder from the academy?

Come on, let's go cheer for your great uncle, okay?

Sure!

Xiao Hu Xiao Chen nodded repeatedly.

In front of the academy gate, before long, a crowd gathered.

The barrier slowly rose, also attracting the attention of passersby.

Is there going to be another fight?

Probably, otherwise they wouldn't raise the barrier!

……

The passersby were obviously already used to it.

Gazing at the two figures facing off within the barrier, Qiqi's heart sank to the depths.

Yun Zhonghe, you should stop already, I'm begging you! Even if Yun Zhonghe were strong enough to defeat A Nu, it wouldn't change anything.

After all, the Ling Family's foundation is deep; there are far more than one emperor, and Yun Zhonghe alone could not oppose the Ling Family!

Yun Zhonghe looked at her, word by word: "This time, I will not allow you to leave my side!"

Qiqi closed her eyes, her lips moved, but in the end she said nothing.

The battle between Yun Zhonghe and A Nu was about to erupt; the Nirvana Emperor's aura surged without limit, and even with the barrier blocking it, the leaking energy was enough to cause heart-pounding fear.

Their figures were extremely fast, dragging afterimages behind them, too swift for the naked eye to catch.

Each clash inevitably burst out with a piercing sound, the collision of terrifying power, like an atomic bomb explosion.

By the time Ye Qingran arrived, the battle had already entered the white-hot stage.

Ye Qingran glanced at the battle situation, only to see the two fighting fiercely, neither injured, and it was unclear who had the upper hand.

Ye Qingran withdrew her gaze and caught a familiar figure in the crowd.

Lu Badao.

Behind Lu Badao stood a strange young man whose bearing and appearance were exceptionally outstanding; a faint arc hung on his face, and though he smiled, he gave off a chilling aura like a poisonous snake.

A flicker of dim light flashed from the depths of Ye Qingran's eyes and vanished.

Not long ago, she used the image-recording function of the Four Spirit Jade to see this man entangled with Lu Badao.

She also heard that this man's name was Ling Qiye.

As for this Ling Qiye, she had also heard of him; he was the young master of the Spirit Domain's premier family, the Ling Family, displaying great talent from childhood, and before Qiu Yue Lang appeared at the Wànlíng Xuégōng, he had always been considered the top talent among the younger generation of the Spirit Domain!

Of course, Qiu Yue Lang and Ling Qiye have never faced off directly, and each holds their own opinion as to who is the top family in the Spirit Domain.

"Lu Badao, Lu Clan… Ling Qiye, Ling Family…"

Ye Qingran withdrew her gaze, and scenes of what she had learned about the Spirit Domain from books during this period surfaced in her mind.

In the present Spirit Domain, the Domain Lord is Lu Hongwei, a supreme and flawless emperor, and naturally the Lu Clan has become the foremost family on the surface of the Spirit Domain.

However, everyone understands that the Ling Family, with its thousands of years of heritage, possesses strength surpassing that of the Lu Clan!

"So Lu Badao is actually the Lu Clan's young lady, no wonder…" When Ye Qingran first saw Lu Badao, she always felt that beneath his roguish exterior lay a mystery; now associating her with the Lu Clan's young lady, everything suddenly became clear.

"The Lu Clan and the Ling Family? How interesting."

Ye Qingran withdrew her gaze, and after a little thought she roughly figured out the possibly intricate relationship among the three.

She shook her head slightly, let out a soft sigh, and said, "Ah, I never expected such a melodramatic thing to happen to my maternal uncle."
