After leaving the palace, Ye Lingyue returned to the Lan Manor .

After being appointed as Marquis Yue, Ye was given a new manor, one that was even larger than the Hong Manor . Considering that she would leave Xia City after resignation, Ye sent the house to her mother and Nie Fengxing as the gift for their marriage . She herself continued to stay in the Lan Manor .

Feng Shen’s words were still ringing in her ears .

“Feng Shen, what can I do with you?” Ye gave a sign .

She seemed to have fallen in love with Feng Shen, but not to the degree that she wanted to marry him .

Feng Shen had left Ye in a daze .

Ye felt that Feng Shen was different from before and she did not know whether it was a misconception .

Before, Feng Shen was mild and considerate . Just now, however, his gaze at Xia Houqi was so cold that it sent s.h.i.+vers on Ye’s spine .

“Where on earth is he different?”

Ye was thinking to herself .

“Lingyue, you have ranked third in the new Qing Continent Dan List!” Ye saw a figure jumping out soon after reaching the gate of the mansion .

Lan Cai’er waved the booklet in her hand with excitement, her cheeks totally red .

After returning to Xia City, Ye had been busy dealing with the affairs of the Ghost Sect, having no time to keep an eye on the changes to the list .

Several months ago, she was removed from the list due to her mysterious disappearance in the Star Cave of North Qing . However, her ranking quickly rose to the third after she beat Hong Mingyue .

“Ye Lingyue . Female . 14 years old . The first female Marquis in Da Xia . Warrior of the Dan Realm . Alchemist . Achievement: Making the Rainbow Reincarnation Dan Pill and beating the third place winner in the previous Dan List Hong Mingyue . Famous for Little Boundless Finger . ”

Ye saw that the Qing Continent Dan List detailed her information .

Someone from the powerful Heaven Sect must have seen her disguising herself as Hong s.h.i.+san to beat Hong Mingyue in one move .

Fortunately, the list only showed that Ye was in the Dan Realm . The Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix might date back to the ancient times so even the Heaven Sect did not know about it .

The third place in the Qing Continent Dan List . The ranking was already the same as that of Hong Mingyue’s best record .

“But you are so powerful! How come you just ranked third in the list? What non-human monsters are the first and second place winners? You are the one who has beaten Hong Mingyue in one move!” Lan Cai’er felt a little unsatisfied after a surge of excitement .

Lan’s good friend did such a good job that she felt quite proud .

The third place was good but not as good as the first place after all .

The point was that Ye beat Hong Mingyue who had exceeded the second level of reincarnation . This meant that she was as powerful as warriors in the second or third level of reincarnation . How come she ranked only third in the list?

“Sister, I just beat Hong Mingyue when she was the least prepared on that day . At any other time, it may not be so easy to defeat her . ”

Lan’s words spurred Ye into looking at the names of the first and second place winners .

The second place winner was Bai Haoran, a disciple from the Nine Sects .

The first place winner was Xue Yi from the Magic Sect of the Central Plains .

Ye just glanced at the two names . She felt nothing since fame and fortune was unimportant for her .

Fame would bring a lot of trouble . The higher ranking she won in the list, the more trouble she would be involved in .

As Ye had expected, after the list was publicized, someone would break into the Lan Manor in the middle of the night from time to time in order to challenge her . They were all expelled by General Lan in the very end .

In the Dan Palace of North Qing .

Chen Hongru, Xue Pianran, Alchemist Elderly Wei and others got the news that Ye suddenly appeared in Da Xia .

“What? You are saying that Ye is still alive? Impossible! She has already perished together with the Demon Wolf . ” Xue Pianran’s voice was getting higher somehow .

The Star Cave had been closed for several months . How come someone fled from within?

Such a thing had never happened before .

“It is absolutely true . Ye Lingyue has partic.i.p.ated in the Imperial Contest of Da Xia and beaten the previous third place winner Hong Mingyue,” said the secret agent in the Dan Palace .

“Has Ye Lingyue exceeded the Dan Realm by accident in the Star Cave?” Alchemist Elderly Wei was also quite surprised .

“Ye Lingyue is still in the Dan Realm . ” Xue Pianran looked through the Qing Continent Dan List and saw clearly the name of Yue . “But when did she become a follower of the Buddhist Faction?”

Little Boundless Finger was no other than the Kung-fu of the Buddhist Faction .

Among the three sects and nine factions, the Buddhist Faction was the oldest one . While it was not as popular as before, its Kung-fu was still extensive and profound .

Only the followers of the Buddhist Faction had the access to learn the Little Boundless Finger .

“The Buddhist Faction may be more curious about it than us . Tall trees will catch big winds--- a person in a high position is liable to be attacked . Ye Lingyue has attracted too much attention recently so trouble is sure to befall her . Pianran, I heard that you have offered to accompany Princess Qingbi to Da Xia where she can learn the etiquette there . Is that true?” Chen Hongru glanced at the list and looked strange, but he soon returned to normal .

The news that Ye Lingyue was still alive had spread to North Qing . Then the most anxious person was exactly Princess Qingbi .

Her marriage with Xia Houqi was forced by her . The marriage was set in half a year . The princess feared that Xia would break his word after Ye came back . Then she made the excuse of learning the court etiquette of Da Xia and wanted to go there beforehand .

“Yes . I heard that Master Longyu in Da Xia is an expert in raising beasts . I have been admiring him for long . This time, Princess Qingbi will have no female company . So I agreed to accompany her to Da Xia . ” Xue Pianran’s words sounded quite reasonable .

But anyone with discerning eyes knew for whom Xue Pianran would go to Da Xia .

Chen Hongru gave a low moan and thought to himself: “Even when Ye Lingyue was away, Feng Shen had hardly paid any attention to Xue Pianran . Then what is the point of going to Da Xia while Ye is already back?”

Xue Pianran and Alchemist Elderly Wei left .

Chen Hongru looked gloomy .

“Ye Lingyue, I have underestimated your ability . I can hardly imagine that it is you that have stolen the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix!”

Chen spared no efforts to search North Qing for the person who had fled from the Star Cave on that day .

Never could he imagine that person to be Ye .

“Ye acquired the Spatical Piercing Bow and beat Hong Mingyue in the second level of reincarnation with the power of the Dan Realm . Then there is only one possibility: Ye has exceeded the Reincarnation Tribulation . ”

“Few people know that it is the owner of the Spatical Piercing Bow G.o.d Yi who has created the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix . ”

“But why could a Seven Cauldron Alchemist take away the Chaos Heaven and Earth Matrix? Ye also survived my Nine Star Soul Search Spell last time . Who on earth is she?”

Chen Hongru was lost in meditation . It was a pity that Ye was a subject of Da Xia . . .

Suddenly Chen thought of a person . When Concubine Luo was in Da Xia, she mentioned that she had bribed Master Hong . Now this person could be taken advantage of .
