Chapter 956

You indeed have some skill, but if you think relying on this lets you oppose the Ling family, you are completely mistaken!

The old man looked down from above, his pressure intensifying as he mercilessly pressed down on Yun Zhonghe.

Yun Zhonghe let out a muffled groan; his already injured body trembled, and he almost knelt on the ground.

Kneel!

The old man snorted coldly, speaking in an absolute command tone.

Yun Zhonghe felt as if a mountain's weight rested on his shoulders, his head about to burst; his body sank sharply, his knees bent, and he began to kneel on the ground...

Just as everyone thought Yun Zhonghe would surely kneel, he let out an angry roar, stopping an instant before hitting the ground, then slowly straightened his body.

Don't even think about it!

Seeing Yun Zhonghe stubbornly stand up under the pressure of the Flawless Great Emperor, everyone wore shocked expressions.

The old man's face finally showed anger: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite!" As his words fell, he raised his hand and swung, sending a terrifying attack toward Yun Zhonghe.

At this moment Yun Zhonghe was fully focused on resisting the old man's pressure, with no spare attention; if this strike hit, his already injured body could not withstand it—he would either die or be wounded!

"No!" Lu Qiqi's pupils contracted as she gasped, instinctively rushing toward Yun Zhonghe, but her body was immobilized by Lu Hongwei, unable to move at all.

At the critical moment, a black shadow shot toward Yun Zhonghe, blocking between him and the old man, forming an indestructible black shield that stopped the attack.

Everyone froze, including Yun Zhonghe himself.

"Who is it?" the old man bellowed in a low voice, the emperor's pressure going berserk.

That black shield was not Yun Zhonghe's own defensive measure; obviously someone was helping him.

When that attack struck the black shield, Ye Qingran felt a sharp pain in her head, her face instantly turning pale.

Facing the astonished crowd, Ye Qingran raised her hand and withdrew; the black shield turned into a wisp of drifting sand that returned to her side.

The black shield was not a real shield, but rather the nearly indestructible Jiu Tian Xi Rang.

Of course, using the xiang soil consumes Ye Qingran's mental strength; the stronger the attack she withstands, the greater the backlash.

Do you know what consequences this will bring?

The Sword God appeared at some point behind Ye Qingran, dressed in tattered clothes, looking at first glance like an ordinary old man.

I know.

Ye Qingran nodded.

What is your relationship with him, worth going to such lengths for him?

Ye Qingran answered truthfully, "He is my maternal eldest uncle."

Maternal eldest uncle?

The Sword God froze, "Related by blood?"

Yes, by blood!

The Sword God laughed and shook his head, "I see. Since he is your maternal eldest uncle, go save him." At worst, he would intervene to guarantee their safety. After all, he is merely the Sword God of popular rumor, no longer the former chief of the Wànlíng Xuégōng.

Ye Qingran withdrew her gaze, taking Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen by the hand as she walked toward the outside of the crowd.

Is this your doing?

The old man locked onto Ye Qingran, questioning her in a low voice.

But yes, it's me.

Ye Qingran openly admitted it.

At the instant Ye Qingran appeared, everyone in the academy was stunned.

Is it her, Ye Qingran?! In the academy nowadays, almost no one doesn't know Ye Qingran; this so-called Sweeping Maid possesses beauty and ability that leave all academy disciples in the dust!

At the moment Ye Qingran stepped forward, in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd, Lan Shou's face showed a cold smile: "I just said it—when Yun Zhonghe is in danger, as a member of the Yun family, Ye Qingran could possibly ignore it?"

Third Elder, what did you say?

Wu Tian glanced sideways at Lan Shou and asked.

Lan Shou briefly introduced the matter of Yun Zhonghe and Ye Qingran to Wu Tian.

Wu Tian's eyes lit up, "I see! This Yun Zhonghe is also reckless, daring to covet the Ling family's miss! And as for Ye Qingran, I was thinking how to kill her, but now it seems unnecessary."

Wu Tian curled the corner of his mouth into a bloodthirsty cold smile.

Ye Qingran and Yun Zhonghe have offended the Ling and Lu families; their fate is sealed—a dead end!

Not bad, then let's just sit and watch a good show!" Lan Shou also spoke with a cold smile.

But in his heart he thought, it seems we don't even need Princess Ni Chang to act personally; however, he must not forget to seek merit from Princess Ni Chang over this matter, perhaps he could also use this opportunity to gain a foothold in the Shen Domain!

Yun Zhonghe looked at Ye Qingran, deep astonishment welling in his eyes; he never imagined that at this moment Ye Qingran would step forward to help him!

What are you doing? We're not close, you don't need to help me!" Yun Zhonghe gritted his teeth. He well knew the Ling and Lu families' strength, not wanting to drag Ye Qingran into it.

"Who says we're not acquainted?" Ye Qingran smiled softly, winked at Yun Zhonghe, which left him a bit bewildered.

"We've only just met; why go to such trouble?"

Ye Qingran didn't answer, but looked at him and said seriously, "Let's do this: I'll reintroduce myself. I'm Ye Qingran, and these are my children, Fu Qianchen and Fu Xiao Hu."

After hearing that, Yun Zhonghe was still bewildered; he already knew all that.

Ye Qingran said to Xiao Hu, "Xiao Hu, tell her what your grandmother's name is."

"Okay." Xiao Hu agreed cheerfully, raising his delicate little head, voice soft and cute: "Great-uncle, our grandmother is Yun Ling, our great-grandfather is Yun Batian; you are our great-uncle, and also our mother's great-uncle!"

Boom~~~

Although Xiao Hu's voice was soft and cute, to Yun Zhonghe's ears it sounded like thunder, making his ears ring and leaving him stunned.

Yun Ling?

Yun Batian?

Aren't those his sister's and father's names?

"You say, you are..." Yun Zhonghe moved his mouth several times before regaining his voice.

Ye Qingran smiled, her face like a flower, "Hello, great-uncle!"

Yun Zhonghe stood as if turned to stone, gazing at Ye Qingran, utterly still, as if the wounds on his body no longer hurt.

"But you..."

"What? I told you my name is Second Girl, they are Da Gou Dan and Xiao Gou Dan, and you believed that?" Ye Qingran's mouth twitched; such a perfunctory name, great-uncle wouldn't really believe it, would he?

"Hmm..." great-uncle did not deny.

"But, don't you think I look a lot like my mother?"

"Yes, very much so." Yun Zhonghe admitted, "But didn't you say you don't know anything about Yun Ling?"

Ye Qingran: "......" This great-uncle seems a bit simple; this trait is quite like the second uncle Yun Zhongge.
