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

Chapter 481 Going to Quell the Rebellion

“That old woman…” Jiu Xiao clicked his tongue, then thought for a moment: “I remember when she returned to the Ye residence and to your side, she was probably being manipulated, right? But now it seems like she’s starting to genuinely care about you, and her underhanded tactics have lessened a bit?”

Ye Qing'an wasn't surprised: "Yes, it's Sixth Aunt."

These words seemed abrupt and unrelated. Jiu Xiao blinked before realizing that Ye Qing'an's words were a response to his first statement: this Granny Wei was being manipulated by the Sixth Concubine.

"As the saying goes, all the world's hustle and bustle is for profit, and people always subconsciously pursue profit. I don't know why she was bribed by the sixth concubine, but when you think about it, it's probably all about profit."

"Now that she sees me doing better and better, she feels that I can give her what she wants. She thinks I am more worthy of her following than Sixth Aunt. Naturally, her mind has become active again. She wants to be good to me so that I might be able to give her some benefits in the future, considering that she has taken care of me."

Jiuxiao smacked his lips: "That's really something, a real fence-sitter."

"It's alright, it doesn't bother me much. Although I accept her advances, it doesn't mean I'll trust her. I won't easily trust someone whose motives are impure from the start, and who hasn't revealed their identity or purpose to me yet."

Upon hearing this, Jiu Xiao couldn't help but chuckle: "She didn't reveal her identity and purpose to you, probably because she thought you knew nothing."

Jiuxiao chuckled: "After all, in everyone's eyes, you're not a smart person."

As soon as Jiu Xiao finished speaking, he saw Ye Qing'an glare at him. Jiu Xiao coughed lightly and quickly raised his hands in surrender.

“I was wrong. I didn’t come here to discuss this matter with you; I came to report the content of the conversation between Ye Zirui and Ye Qingan.”

Jiu Xiao had completely learned bad habits from Ye Qing'an. He raised his hand and released a sound-stealing bubble from his sleeve, then repeated the conversation between Ye Zirui and Ye Weilan to Ye Qing'an.

After hearing this, Ye Qing'an showed no reaction whatsoever.

Jiuxiao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "They're talking about you, aren't you going to say anything?"

Ye Qing'an smiled casually: "Ye Zirui, you still need to stay here for now as bait to lure out the real mastermind behind him, the Night Demon who is hiding somewhere but is absolutely ambitious, or the one in power behind the Night Demon."

"But Ye Weilan..."

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, a cold glint flashing in them: "Whether she listened to Ye Zirui's advice or not, I will not tolerate her."

Jiu Xiao blinked and looked at Ye Qing'an with an innocent expression.

"Even if she listens to Ye Zirui's words now and doesn't bother me for the time being, given her personality, once she has bided her time and made herself a little stronger, she will still target me. She wants me dead, so rather than waiting for her to become an obstacle in my path in the future, it is better to get rid of her completely as soon as possible."

Jiuxiao understood these words very well: "So, Master, what do you plan to do?"

What does she plan to do?

Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly; naturally, she would find a good opportunity...

Although Ye Qing'an did not possess profound spiritual power, she had indeed not slept for two days and one night. After dismissing Jiu Xiao with a few words, she took a short nap on the bed.

When I woke up again, it was already completely dark outside.

Hearing the noise, Qingdai quickly came in and turned on the lights in the room.

"Miss, let me help you to get up."

As Qingdai spoke, she took her outer robe and walked to Ye Qing'an's side. She placed the robe on the stool beside Ye Qing'an's bed, squatted down, and took out her shoes for Ye Qing'an to put on. "News has come from the pavilion that a riot has recently broken out in Qian'an. The original garrison there was unable to resist and their defense line has been breached. The rebels are marching step by step toward Wangjing City. The one leading the rebellion is none other than the Emperor's own son, Prince Duan, who was exiled to Qian'an six years ago."

Qingdai recalled Yimoxu, whom she had met in the camp before, and after a moment of silence, she continued, "The Emperor has dispatched a lot of troops to quell the rebellion, but now, among the four major families, the Ye family and the Gu family have both encountered trouble, and the head of the Liu family has been sent there to check the situation. Only the Li family is still in Wangjing City. His Majesty will probably have the Li family stationed in Wangjing City."

"News from within the palace says that someone recommended the young lady to the Emperor."

"Huh?" Ye Qing'an was momentarily confused: "You recommended me? Recommended me for what?"

"I recommended the young lady to accompany the army to Qian'an to quell the rebellion."

"..." Ye Qing'an was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, she took a deep breath: "Me? Go and quell the rebellion? Are you kidding me?"

Even after dismissing Qingdai and meeting Yimoxu in the Dreamland of Clouds, he still felt that this matter was too mysterious.

"In the past, this might have seemed like a joke, but the situation is different now, so it can no longer be considered a joke."

Ye Qing'an blinked: "Just because I am a Supreme Being, but does that mean a Supreme Being can necessarily lead troops into battle?"

"The information you gathered doesn't mean you're going to lead troops into battle; it just means you're going to accompany the army. You are a Supreme Being with profound spiritual power, so you can become the sharpest sword in Yi Yun Kui's hand."

Ye Qing'an blinked: "So, if I agree, I'll have to go to Qian'an to fight you?"

"This should be."

Looking at Ye Qing'an's expression, Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but laugh: "You seem to be quite looking forward to it?"

Ye Qing'an nodded, making no attempt to hide her feelings: "I am indeed quite looking forward to it. How long did you stay in Qian'an?"

"It's been about three or four years in total."

Ye Qing'an nodded, looking thoughtful: "I really want to go see the places you've been. I really want to..."

Ye Qing'an raised her eyes, her eyes shining brightly: "I'd also like to have a head-on confrontation with you. Not just a contest of spiritual power and martial arts. I've heard that Prince Duan is exceptionally intelligent, with outstanding talent since childhood, and is known as a child prodigy? He's skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, military strategy, and court politics. If it's about military strategy, Prince Duan should be able to use all these skills, right?"

Yi Moxu looked at Ye Qing'an's increasingly bright eyes, a hint of helplessness flashing in them: "But the Prince Duan outside Qian'an City now is not me."

Ye Qing'an wasn't afraid at all: "If I go there, does Prince Duan have any reason not to go there himself? If Prince Duan doesn't go there himself, then you'd better be careful, or I'll rip up your lair."
