Chapter 454 Kill
Thinking about it carefully, there are quite a few people who are more outstanding than Liu Xueying, whether in terms of birth, appearance, temperament, or even in bed.
But why her of all people?
He can't even remember what he liked about Liu Xueying, or why he let her become the mistress of the Ye family mansion in the first place.
Ye Qinghao pursed his lips. He had once thought that Liu Xueying might have used some kind of drug or incense on him.
After all, he has never refused anything that enhances the pleasure of sex.
But he never expected the answer to be like this.
Liu Xueying is actually Nightshade.
As Ye Qing'an said, if we accept the possibility that Liu Xueying is Ye Mei, then many things that happened before seem to have a reasonable explanation.
The steward was Ye Qinghao's spirit beast and had been by his side for so many years. Just by looking at the changes in Ye Qinghao's expression, he could roughly tell what Ye Qinghao was thinking.
"What does the master intend to do? Should I go and investigate?"
"Investigate." Ye Qinghao pursed his lips, his voice cold. "Of course we'll investigate."
A Nightshade, a Nightshade who looked no different from a human, had been by his side for nearly twenty years, yet he knew nothing about it and was being used by her like a pawn. For him, this was an utter disgrace.
"However, after what happened before, Liu Xueying is probably already on guard, so it won't be easy to get to her."
"Don't start with Liu Xueying yet. Start with the people around Liu Xueying. Also, aside from Liu Xueying, go out and investigate thoroughly to see if there are any Night Enchantresses who look no different from ordinary people. You can even look for related records in books."
Ye Qinghao thought for a moment and said, "Go and find all the books that record Ye Mei. I need to... take a close look at them."
"Yes."
The butler looked up at Ye Qinghao: "If what the young lady said is confirmed to be true, what does the master intend to do?"
"How to do it?"
The first thought that flashed through Ye Qinghao's mind was just one word: "Kill."
But after thinking it over, I felt that simply killing her wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in my heart. I had been deceived and manipulated by her for so many years. If I just killed her, wouldn't that be too easy on her?
"Since she uses me as a pawn to achieve her own goals, why can't I give her a taste of her own medicine? I can just treat her as a pawn in return. Besides, she was originally a pawn on my chessboard, only this pawn is a little different. Then I can use her identity as Nightshade to achieve my own goals. Why not?"
“Very well.” The butler smiled, a hint of cunning in his smile: “If we can control Nightshade as a pawn, there are quite a few things we can do.”
Ye Qinghao responded, "Let's go, we shouldn't stay here any longer."
"Yes."
……
The next morning, after having breakfast, Ye Qing'an went to check on Taotie. Taotie was still frozen in ice, but because it was not yet winter and the weather was not very cold, the thick ice had already melted a bit.
Ye Qing'an then reinforced the ice block with another layer before heading to the main camp.
Although only two days have passed, Ye Qing'an's status and position have changed significantly. The guards at the main camp gate have also changed their attitude towards her. As soon as they saw Ye Qing'an coming, they quickly bowed to her and said, "Miss Ye."
Ye Qing'an responded with a smile on her lips: "Is General Gu in the camp? I have something I'd like to see General Gu about."
No sooner had Ye Qing'an finished speaking than Gu Hai's voice came from inside the camp: "Come in."
The guards quickly lifted the blanket for Ye Qing'an. Ye Qing'an stepped into the main camp and saw Gu Hai sitting behind his desk. When he saw Ye Qing'an come in, he looked up at her.
Gu Hai looked Ye Qing'an up and down for a while and asked, "Miss Ye, do you feel unwell today? Should I call the military doctor to take another look at you?"
Ye Qing'an smiled: "Everything is fine. I cultivated a little last night and felt that my spiritual energy was better today than yesterday. There was no longer any spiritual energy running around in my body that made me feel uncomfortable. I also felt a little more at ease when casting spells."
Gu Hai's eyes flickered slightly; was he becoming more adept at casting spells?
Yesterday, the spiritual power and strength she displayed when fighting the Taotie were already quite terrifying to him. If she could control her spiritual power even a little better, wouldn't she be even more formidable...?
The difference between a Supreme Being and a Holy Spirit is only one level, but is the difference in their strength really that great?
If Ye Qing'an were to fight him, wouldn't he be completely suppressed?
Gu Hai gritted his teeth. The last time he felt such a significant difference in strength was when Gu Duo was still alive.
Gu Duo...
Gu Hai's fingers twitched slightly. Even though so many years had passed, even though he was now the head of the Gu family, and the name Gu Duo had long since disappeared, the thought of that name still stirred up a surge of hatred in his heart that almost overwhelmed him.
Ye Qing'an, whose surname is Ye.
After he became the head of the Gu family, everyone said that he was not a good family head and that the Gu family had declined under his leadership.
Indeed, this seems to be the case. Ye Qinghao's power and status are rising higher and higher, and the Ye family's influence is becoming more and more powerful. The Gu family has fallen from being one of the four great families to the very bottom of the four great families. Some people have even said that perhaps in a few more years, the Gu family will no longer have a place among the four great families.
He felt resentful every time he heard these words. He had tried countless times, but the results were always unsatisfactory.
After what happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he knew that the Emperor must have harbored resentment towards the Gu family, and that Consort Yun was practically finished.
That was someone he had gone to great lengths to send to the Emperor's side...
If he cannot turn the tide, the Gu family may not be far from decline.
Gu Hai touched the spot on his chest. If this Heavenly Spirit Pearl really worked, then this was his last chance to revive the Gu family.
Once he becomes the Supreme Being, things will be completely different.
Although two Supreme Beings have suddenly appeared, both of them seem to be women.
No matter how powerful a woman is, she is no match for a man...
Ye Qing'an took in all the changes in Gu Hai's expression, and asked with a smile, "General Gu, shall we send that Taotie back to Wangjing City for the Emperor to deal with?"
