Chapter 549 Injured?
The moment the thought crossed Ye Qing'an's mind, Jiu Xiao had already returned.
"So fast?"
Jiuxiao said, sounding aggrieved, "I didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Liu Enze found me. Luckily, I ran fast..."
"Liu Enze?" Ye Qing'an frowned slightly. "Liu Enze's Xuanling Technique is very strong? How come I've never heard of him?"
"I haven't heard of it either. When I was inquiring about the four major families before, they mentioned that the one with the highest level of Xuanling Technique was the former head of the Gu family, Gu Duo, followed by Ye Qinghao, and then the head of the Li family. The other Gu and Liu families were not mentioned, so they must not have been particularly outstanding."
"But I was extremely careful just now, and I transformed into a size smaller than my little finger. I was still several meters away from them when Liu Enze suddenly looked in my direction and shouted, asking who it was."
Ye Qing'an frowned. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
Even when she was at a lower level, her spirit beast Jiuxiao never made a mistake when it kept an eye on Ye Qinghao and the others.
Now that she is a Supreme Being, the rank of the spirit beasts in the Nine Heavens should also have improved, so why was she discovered by Liu Enze?
"Could it be that someone else was secretly following them at the time?"
“It shouldn’t be like that.” Jiu Xiao shook his head: “At that time, the Fifth Prince was talking with Liu Enze on the grass next to the camp. The grass was open and there was no way to hide people.”
"However, I'm not entirely sure. I watched him walk right towards me until he was less than a meter away. I didn't dare take the risk and just rushed back to the Cloud Dreamland. I don't know what happened after that."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Alright, I understand. That's simple. I'll find out later whether Liu Enze and the Fifth Prince caught any spies. If they did, it proves that Liu Enze's angry shout wasn't because of you. If not..."
That's thought-provoking.
Ye Qing'an thought for a moment and said, "I happen to have something to ask Yi Moxu tonight. He has been taught by Liu Enze before, so he should know something about Liu Enze. I can ask him about it then."
Ye Qing'an entrusted the task of gathering information in the camp to Qingdai.
Qingdai took a walk outside while she went to collect her lunch at noon, and when she returned, she had the results: "I asked several people, but none of them had heard of any spies being captured before, nor had they heard that Grand Tutor Liu had ordered anyone to capture any spies."
"However, one person said that Grand Tutor Liu did shout something earlier, but when the soldiers in the camp went to ask, Grand Tutor Liu said that it was nothing."
This aligns with what Jiuxiao said.
Did Liu Enze really discover Jiuxiao back then?
Ye Qing'an had doubts in her heart, so she took the opportunity to ask the people from Li Huo Pavilion who were with her to pass on a message for her.
Finally, night fell. After Ye Qing'an turned off the lights and rested, she went to the Cloud Dreamland.
Yi Moxu arrived quickly, but as soon as he entered the Cloud Dreamland, Ye Qing'an smelled an extremely strong stench of blood.
Ye Qing'an frowned slightly, walked up to Yi Moxu, and gently sniffed his neck.
"What day is it today? Why is Qing'an being so enthusiastic towards me?"
"Enthusiasm?" Ye Qing'an scoffed. "The stench of blood on you is so strong it can't be concealed. Are you injured?"
"I encountered some trouble, but it's nothing serious. I just suffered a minor injury, mostly from someone else's blood that accidentally splattered on me." Yi Moxu said nonchalantly, "I heard from someone that you wanted to see me, so I just changed into an outer robe and rushed over."
"Take off your clothes." Ye Qing'an pursed her lips; she didn't believe Yi Moxu's so-called minor injury.
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes and chuckled, teasing, "So eager? But there's no bed in this Dreamland of Clouds, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Ye Qing'an squinted at him: "If you continue to be so irresponsible all day long, I wouldn't mind giving you a cut myself, so that even if you're not seriously injured, you'll be hurt, giving me a chance to show my skills and apply medicine to you. That would be a kind of intimate contact..."
Yi Moxu laughed out loud, but his eyes were scrutinizing.
He increasingly realized that the person in front of him was not the same person as the Ye Qing'an he had investigated.
He didn't know what had happened to Ye Qing'an, but...
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes. The person he liked was the one in front of him, someone he had gotten to know little by little over the past few months.
Not the person who had been intimate with him five years ago when he was completely unaware of it.
"Aren't you going to hurry up?"
Yi Moxu chuckled and took off his outer robe.
As soon as he took off his outer robe, Ye Qing'an saw the bloodstains and wounds on his inner garment.
The wounds were on the waist and abdomen, three in total. The wounds were not smooth. Although they looked like they were caused by a sharp weapon, they were probably not from a weapon.
"A beast? Or a human?"
Ye Qing'an was suspicious. Even she was no match for Yi Moxu's Ninefold Fire Technique. He could even use Taotie. What other person or beast in the world could hurt him?
“Yes, a ferocious beast.” Yi Moxu didn’t hide anything: “I went to the Monster Forest and arrived at the location of the Eye of the Devil.”
"The Demon Beast Forest? The Eye of the Devil?" Because of Ye Qinghao's matter, Ye Qing'an also knew about the rumors about the Eye of the Devil in the Demon Beast Forest. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but frown: "What are you going there for?"
Yi Moxu: "Go investigate some things."
“When I was with you outside the Monster Forest before, I entered the Monster Forest several times and tried to get close to its center. During those explorations, I found that there were many monsters in the Monster Forest. They should have already awakened their spiritual consciousness and were able to transform into humans. The level of the spirit beasts was not low. I just don’t know why they have been guarding the Eye of the Devil.”
Lingyu, who was not far away, seemed to have heard the conversation between the two. She picked out a bottle of medicine and brought it over, then silently walked away.
“I find this matter rather strange. There must be a reason why those magical beasts have been guarding the Eye of the Devil and preventing anyone from getting close. There must be something in that Eye of the Devil, or perhaps some secret.”
Hearing Yi Moxu say this, Ye Qing'an also felt a little doubtful.
"If that's the case, then it is indeed a bit strange. So you went to investigate tonight? Did you find anything?"
"But even if there are any secrets or oddities in that Monster Forest, it might not be related to you. Or do you have some suspicions?"
Yi Moxu nodded: "I suspect that Gu Duo's lost soul is there."
