Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Chapter 639 Luring Us into the Trap

"What?" Yi Moxu and Ye Qing'an exchanged bewildered glances, both incredulous. "Liu Enze has disappeared?"

"Hmm." Jiuxiao nodded: "I just went there. The secret room where you left your divine sense was empty, there was nothing there."

Ye Qing'an frowned deeply: "How is that possible? Liu Enze's Xuanling technique isn't high enough; he wouldn't have been able to leave that secret chamber at all. Besides, Yi Moxu had drugged the torch beforehand. He was drugged..."

“It’s true.” Seeing that Ye Qing’an didn’t believe him, Jiu Xiao became anxious: “If you don’t believe me, you can go and see for yourself.”

Yi Moxu's gaze lingered on Jiuxiao for a long time without uttering a sound.

Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly as she asked Jiu Xiao, "What was Yi Moxu's name before, and what was his identity?"

Jiu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. She lowered her head to her chest and glanced at Ye Qing'an: "You don't believe me, you don't trust me."

"answer."

"..." Jiu Xiao snorted lightly: "Yi Moxu was a medical cultivator in the Ye family before, and his name was Xu Mo."

Ye Qing'an turned her head and exchanged a glance with Yi Moxu before Yi Moxu spoke again: "I had never heard before that Ye Mei could control spirit beasts. After all, they are beasts, and the structure of their brains is somewhat different from that of humans."

Jiu Xiao nodded in agreement, looking at Ye Qing'an with a reproachful expression.

“However, there is another possibility,” Yi Moxu added.

"What's possible?" Jiuxiao asked curiously. "What other possibilities are there?"

Yi Moxu pursed his lips: "There is another possibility, that is, Liu Enze wove an illusion in that secret room, an illusion in which no one is in that secret room."

"If someone breaks into that secret room, they've entered his illusion, and will think that no one is in that secret room..."

Ye Qing'an nodded slightly: "That's possible, after all, Ye Mei's forte is weaving illusions, isn't it?"

"In that case, others will assume that there is no one in the secret room, and they might carelessly open it."

“But…” Ye Qing’an pursed her lips: “It’s not impossible that he really isn’t in that secret room anymore.”

Yi Moxu nodded: "Therefore, the secret chamber will not be opened yet. I will send someone to the Siyou Kingdom's camp to investigate."

“If Liu Enze leaves that secret room, he will definitely return to the camp.”

"Ah."

Ye Qing'an nodded in agreement, and then followed Yi Moxu out of the Dreamland of Clouds.

After leaving the Cloud Dreamland, we returned to the City Guard's Mansion, which had returned to its usual bustling state.

It was still the same bridal chamber. Yi Moxu opened the door, and servants were already waiting outside.

"Lord."

Yi Moxu responded, "Go and call Xing Jun and He Chang'an over."

"Yes."

A short while later, Xing Jun and He Chang'an walked in.

Yesterday, Xing Jun was busy with other things and didn't have a chance to properly look at Ye Qing'an. Now that he saw her, he started staring at her as soon as he entered the room, asking Yi Moxu as he looked at her, "Did the Lord call us here because there is something important to discuss?"

“If you keep staring at me, I’ll gouge your eyes out.”

"..." Xing Jun coughed lightly and quickly looked away: "I... I was just curious. I just wanted to see who this person was that made the Lord so concerned."

"Besides, if I can see her more clearly, I won't fail to recognize my sister-in-law when we meet outside. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing if I didn't recognize her when we met outside."

Hearing Xing Jun speak like that, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, feeling somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that someone as aloof as Yi Moxu would have someone with such a personality by her side; it was quite interesting.

"Hello, sister-in-law. My name is Xing Jun, and I am the Lord's right-hand man." Xing Jun said, glancing at He Chang'an standing beside him, and coughed lightly: "Alright, left-hand man, the right-hand man is him, Uncle He, hehe."

Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh: "Hello."

After saying that, she turned to look at Yi Moxu: "You have such a lively person by your side, how come your personality doesn't seem to have been influenced at all?"

Yi Moxu frowned slightly, a dangerous look on his face: "Take better care of him? Is his unruly nature a good thing? Am I a bad one?"

"No, no!" Xing Jun didn't know how he had suddenly gotten involved in this conversation, so he quickly raised his hand to show his stance: "My personality is not good at all. I'm forgetful, careless, and not cautious enough. Your Majesty's personality is much better. You are gentle when you need to be gentle, indifferent when you need to be indifferent, decisive when you need to be decisive, and cautious when you need to be cautious."

"Is it that amazing?" Ye Qing'an's eyes were full of laughter. "How come I didn't notice?"

“Sister-in-law, if you spend more time with our Lord, you will soon discover that our Lord is a treasure trove that needs to be carefully explored.”

Xing Jun felt he was no longer able to support the Lady of the Venerable One, so he quickly changed the subject: "Did the Venerable One summon us for something important?"

After all, last night should have been the wedding night of the Lord and his wife. So many things happened last night, and they were quite busy. They probably didn't have time to properly enjoy their wedding night. Shouldn't they make up for it this morning?

Yi Moxu pursed his lips: "Just now, Madam's spirit beast went to investigate the secret room and said that Liu Enze is no longer in that secret room."

"How is that possible?" Xing Jun and He Chang'an also straightened their expressions and hurriedly said, "We sent people to guard the area around the secret passage and at all the entrances and exits, but we did not see Liu Enze. Moreover, the mechanisms and hidden weapons in our secret passage were activated after Liu Enze was locked in the secret room."

"But none of the mechanisms or hidden weapons have been triggered, and none of the warning bells have rung. Liu Enze couldn't have left. Unless, unless Liu Enze can disappear into thin air."

Ye Qing'an pursed her lips and vanished into thin air...

It's not entirely impossible.

Yi Moxu nodded: "So we suspect that Liu Enze did not disappear, but rather wove an illusion in that secret room to lure us in."

"If that's the case, we certainly can't take the bait so easily."

Xing Jun nodded: "We finally managed to capture him, and he's so special, we can't fall for his tricks. We'll send people in to investigate."

"Yes, so send a message to our people in the Siyou Kingdom's army camp, telling them to be on the lookout and report immediately if they find Liu Enze in the Siyou Kingdom's camp."

Xing Jun understood the meaning behind Yi Moxu's words and quickly nodded: "Yes, I will take care of it right away."
