Chapter 460 Utter Nonsense
Ye Qing'an conjured a long white rope in her hand and used it to tie up the guard.
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and grasped one end of the rope: "Let's go, come with me to see General Gu."
Outside the main camp, Gu Hai frowned deeply. As soon as he saw Ye Qing'an approaching, his gaze fell on Ye Qing'an and the personal guard, and his brows furrowed even more: "What's going on here? What is Miss Ye doing?"
Ye Qing'an pushed the guard forward: "General Gu, do you recognize this person?"
"I recognize him." Gu Hai nodded. "He's someone I work with, named Wang Kui. What's wrong?"
"He just came to me with his men, saying that General Gu wants to see me. Is that true?"
"That is true." Gu Hai already had something to hide, and he didn't know why Ye Qing'an would ask such a question, so he just nodded in agreement.
Ye Qing'an had been waiting for this sentence, and upon hearing it, he only sneered: "So, after he found me just now, he led the other guards he brought to shoot arrows at me from behind to kill me, was that also ordered by General Gu?"
Gu Hai was startled, and with a furrowed brow, he looked up at Ye Qing'an: "What? Shot in the back? Kill you? What exactly happened? How could this be my order? I have no idea what happened!"
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes and took out the fine needle from his sleeve again: "Just now he came to tell me that General Gu had something to discuss with me and asked me to go to the main camp immediately. After hearing this, I immediately prepared to go to the main camp, and they followed behind me. Who would have thought that they would use silver needles on me from behind? If I were not now a Supreme Being and more vigilant, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand here and have a proper conversation with General Gu right now."
Ye Qing'an loosened his grip, but the silver needle, as thin as a cow's hair, did not fall immediately. Instead, it remained suspended in mid-air. With a flick of his wrist, the needle flew towards Gu Hai.
Gu Hai froze, his gaze fixed on the silver needle, which he then tucked into his sleeve and gripped tightly, ready to retaliate at any moment.
However, the silver needle stopped an arm's length away from Gu Hai and then remained motionless.
Gu Hai took a deep breath, removed the silver needle, and examined it for a while.
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "At that time, countless silver needles flew towards me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly. I don't know if there was any poison on those silver needles."
"Many people in the camp witnessed what happened. All twenty-odd guards made a move, but after I discovered it, the others scattered and fled. I felt that this person looked the most familiar, so I arrested him and brought him here."
"What exactly is going on?" Gu Hai asked sternly, his gaze fixed on the guard.
He had planned everything perfectly, so how could this have happened so suddenly, almost completely ruining his original plan?
People nearby were already drawn by the commotion and looked over.
The guard was pale and stammered, "No...no...did General Gu order me to do this?"
"Insolence!" Gu Hai's face turned ashen. "What nonsense are you spouting? When did I give you permission to do this?"
As Gu Hai spoke, he gathered spiritual power in his hands, and a gust of wind swept towards the guard.
The guard, bound, hurriedly took two steps back, but Ye Qing'an flicked his sleeve and neutralized the gust of wind.
"General Gu, what are you doing? Are you trying to kill me to silence me, the victim, right in front of me?"
"What murder to cover it up? He's just spouting complete nonsense!"
Ye Qing'an smiled, her gaze indeed becoming sharper: "Regardless of whether he's talking nonsense or not, we have to let him finish speaking before judging whether what he said is true or false. He hasn't even spoken yet, and General Gu is already in a hurry to kill someone. Doesn't that seem more like killing someone to silence them?"
Gu Hai froze, veins bulging on his forehead, his gaze fixed on the guard: "Fine, let him finish. I want to see what he can come up with for this baseless accusation."
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly, and she raised her chin slightly, gesturing to the guard: "Continue."
The guard took a deep breath: "General Gu ordered us to do this. He said that once the news that the Heavenly Spirit Pearl was in his hands spread, many people would definitely come for it. So we have to think of a way to make everyone think that the Heavenly Spirit Pearl is no longer in his hands, so that he can take it for himself."
"General Gu said that since Miss Ye, with her Holy Spirit Body, was able to upgrade to a Supreme Being, he certainly could too. However, if the Heavenly Spirit Pearl were in his hands, he would definitely not be able to keep it."
"General Gu believes that Miss Ye is now a Supreme Being, and there is no one in the world who can rival her. Therefore, the best way is to make everyone believe that the Heavenly Spirit Pearl is in Miss Ye's hands."
"Therefore, General Gu ordered us to assassinate Miss Ye in secret, and then have her resist. We are General Gu's personal guards, so if we are seen doing so, we can pretend that Miss Ye stole the Heavenly Spirit Pearl from General Gu, forcing her to make enemies of others..."
Gu Hai's face turned ashen. The guards had indeed guessed seven or eight tenths of his thoughts, but he had not told them his ideas, nor had he ordered them to secretly kill Ye Qing'an.
His original plan was to lure Ye Qing'an into the camp, where he had already set up a trap, just waiting for Ye Qing'an to fall into it.
But now...
Someone must be plotting against him.
But who could it be?
The person who could bribe his personal guards must also be from this camp.
Is it He Yi?
Or is it Ye Qinghao, who is not currently in the camp?
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes and looked at Gu Hai: "General Gu?"
Gu Hai clenched his fists tightly in his sleeves, his mind a jumble of thoughts. How should he deal with this situation?
No matter how he responds, he absolutely cannot bear this crime.
“I don’t know why he’s trying to frame me, but he’s talking complete nonsense. I think he’s just trying to sow discord.”
Ye Qing'an laughed: "Trying to sow discord? But he is General Gu's personal guard. Personal guards are all people trusted by General Gu. Who else could command him?"
"How would I know?" Gu Hai was furious. "Guards, take him away and interrogate him severely."
"General Gu, are you... trying to extract a confession through torture?"
Gu Hai's expression grew increasingly grim: "I was merely interrogating him, how could I be accused of coercing a confession? You're saying this won't work and that won't work, you just believed all his nonsense, didn't you? So, Miss Ye, what do you think I should do to prove my innocence?"
