Ye Lanshan immediately pulled out two Twin Spirit Fruits, looking as if she had been startled, and said, "Take both of these. I don't want any. Farewell." Then she swiftly retreated.
Mo Ran looked at the two Twin Spirit Fruits thrown into his hand, not yet having said anything.
Ye Yutian said, "What do you have to say now?"
Mo Ran sneered, "Do you think I, Mo Ran, am afraid of you? If you want to snatch them, go ahead and try."
Ye Yutian: "Don't forget, the ten-year agreement hasn't expired yet. Your brother's life is still in my hands."
Mo Ran's entire demeanor turned cold. "It's just one Twin Spirit Fruit. I'll give it to you." He tossed one fruit to Ye Yutian and turned to leave.
Ye Yutian caught the fruit he threw and murmured, "Mo Yu, you really do have a good brother. When you wake up, you should be quite comforted."
In the Lan family courtyard, Ye Lanshan sat lounging in a chair, staring at the Twin Spirit Fruit as if she had figured something out.
Lan Youli walked out. He looked reluctantly at the languid Ye Lanshan and said, "I'm leaving with my brother tomorrow to go home. I don't know when I'll come back. You can stay in this house for now."
Ye Lanshan was startled, as if she hadn't expected Lan Youli and his brother to leave. "You're leaving so soon?"
Lan Youli sighed, "Yes. Since we didn't get the Twin Spirit Fruit, we naturally have to go back."
Ye Lanshan said leisurely, "I probably won't stay here long either."
Lan Youli: "Where are you going?"
Ye Lanshan: "To where I'm supposed to go. Since you're leaving, I want to warn you: be careful of Lan Yu. I suspect your brother's severe injury is related to him."
Lan Youli smiled and said, "No way. Lan Yu is loyal to my brother. Last time, he was the one who saved my brother."
Ye Lanshan, seeing that Lan Youli didn't believe her, said directly, "I saw Lan Yu meeting with a mysterious person earlier. Even though I was far away, I vaguely heard something about 'Lan Yexin... death' or similar."
Lan Youli was a bit skeptical. "Lan Yu is honest and steady. How could that be?"
Ye Lanshan said seriously, "You should still pay more attention."
Lan Youli, seeing how serious Ye Lanshan was, took the words to heart.
Late at night, Ye Lanshan appeared in the Ye family kitchen and said coldly, "Ye family, enjoy my revenge." With that, she poured a bottle of medicine all over the kitchen.
A few days later, the Ye family posted a notice on the street: whoever could cure the Ye family head's illness would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.
Ye Lanshan looked at the notice and revealed a dangerous smile. She reached out, tore it down, and declared loudly, "I can cure this illness."
In the Ye family, Madam Zhang Guiyuan asked anxiously, "How is it? What illness does the family head have?"
Ye Lanshan said thoughtfully, "He was poisoned and then rushed into cultivation, which led to this state."
Zhang Guiyuan stepped back a few paces and murmured, "Poisoned? How could he be poisoned?"
Ye Lanshan: "Have you offended anyone recently?"
Zhang Guiyuan: "Offended anyone? No." But then, as if remembering something, she shouted angrily, "It must be that bitch Ye Lanshan. Killing Ye Liusi and Ye Liuwen wasn't enough, now she wants to kill the family head too."
Ye Lanshan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but it quickly disappeared. She asked Zhang Guiyuan with feigned confusion, "Isn't Ye Lanshan the legitimate daughter of the Ye family in the capital? Why would she harm the family head?"
Zhang Guiyuan, perhaps realizing something, said panickedly, "She must have found out about that matter."
Ye Lanshan's eyes lit up, and she pressed on, "What matter?"
Zhang Guiyuan immediately became wary. "Why are you asking about this?"
Ye Lanshan said gently, "I'm just curious. Miss Ye's cultivation was completely废. If not for the family head's protection, how could she have survived until now? Why would she poison him?"
Zhang Guiyuan: "Hmph, that's not for you to know. Leave the family head's poison to the healer."
Ye Lanshan: "Alright, madam, rest assured."
Zhang Guiyuan: "I won't disturb your detoxification. Ask the steward for whatever herbs you need."
Ye Lanshan thought to herself, *Since you're so generous, I won't hold back. Just wait for me to drain your Ye mansion dry.* Then she said, "Alright."
"Why hasn't the family head's poison been cured yet?" Ye Lanshan looked at Zhang Guiyuan, who had burst in to accuse her, and her good mood was ruined.
She thought, *Since the Ye family is already drained and I've learned everything I wanted to know, I might as well stop pretending.* She revealed her true appearance.
Zhang Guiyuan stepped back a few paces. "Ye Lanshan." Then, as if suddenly realizing something, she said, "No wonder you asked for so many herbs, yet the family head's poison remains uncured. I never thought Shan Luo was actually you."
Ye Lanshan took out a human head from her space. "I wonder if this big gift pleases you, madam."
Zhang Guiyuan stared at it, her eyes wide with fury. "My son! Why? Why did you kill my son?"
She pointed at Ye Lanshan and shrieked, "Seize her! I want her torn to pieces!"
Ye Lanshan laughed as if she had heard a joke. "Seize me? All the experts in your Ye mansion are gone. What are you going to seize me with?"
Zhang Guiyuan's face turned pale as she sobbed, "Ye Lanshan, what exactly do you want?"
Ye Lanshan crouched down and looked at Zhang Guiyuan. "I don't want anything. I just want revenge. If you hadn't harmed me, bullied me, and humiliated me back then, why would I treat you like this?"
Zhang Guiyuan had already broken down. She said hysterically, "Do you really think killing us will get you revenge? Ha, let me tell you, the poison on you wasn't placed by us."
"As for bullying and humiliating you, we were just following orders. You don't know yet, do you? The Chu Liuxiang who once protected you is one of the people who harmed you."
Ye Lanshan said calmly, "I know all of that. Do you have anything else to say?"
