Chapter 384 Calculation
After staring at what Yi Moxu was holding for a while, Ye Qing'an smiled and calmly took the book from him.
"Sure, I'll take a look when I have time. But I do have some doubts about these supernatural tales and such."
Yi Moxu smiled and said, "It's just something to look at when I have free time. Who said you have to believe it to watch it?"
Ye Qing'an then took the book in her hand and asked, "Are you still in Liuyun City?"
“Hmm.” Yi Moxu nodded: “The people from the Ye family are still here, so we have to put on a show. Ye Feiran hasn’t left Liuyun City yet either, but he has been taken away by Lord Su. The grandfather and grandson still need to get to know each other a little better.”
"Then, I will have my master find a reason to tell the people from the Ye family that Ye Feiran's body has been eroded by poison and he needs long-term treatment, so that Ye Feiran can stay in Liuyun City for a while longer."
Ye Qing'an responded, "When the news gets back, I'll do everything I can to get the butler's approval. As for Ye Qinghao..."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "He's not important."
When Yi Moxu heard Ye Qing'an say so openly that Ye Qinghao, the prime minister, was unimportant, a smile couldn't help but flash across her face: "Miss Ye, you have quite the nerve."
Ye Qing'an snorted lightly, completely ignoring Yi Moxu's words, and said directly, "Have you ever seen the Heavenly Spirit Pearl?"
"The Heavenly Spirit Pearl?"
Ye Qing'an nodded, walked to the side, and took the wooden box and bottle down from the bookshelf: "Help me take a look and see which of these two is the Heavenly Spirit Pearl."
Yi Moxu's gaze swept over the three pills, and he paused slightly: "Where did you get these?"
"The Gu family." Ye Qing'an didn't shy away from the topic: "Isn't it rumored that the Gu family possesses the Heavenly Spirit Pearl? Last night, I went to the Gu family's residence."
Yi Moxu gave Ye Qing'an a deep look. The Gu family was one of the four major families in Wangjing City, but Ye Qing'an's tone was as if he had just gone back to his own backyard.
"The Gu family, the courtyard where Gu Hai lives now, has a barrier and restrictions. You can't force your way in, and even if you do, you can't use your spiritual power. Qing An is really... quite capable."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, after all, I don't use spiritual power, I use my brain."
"I was planning to visit your Li Huo Pavilion tonight and have Gu Duo take a look at it for me. Since you're here, I'll just ask you about it."
Yi Moxu raised his hand and pointed to the two white pills: "These."
"But aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?"
Ye Qing'an glanced at Yi Moxu: "What? Are you in such a hurry to poison me to death so you can find a new stepmother for Eleven?"
For some reason, this sentence made Yi Moxu laugh. Yi Moxu lowered his eyes and laughed for a while before he calmed down.
When she looked up, she saw that Ye Qing'an had put the pills back in.
"You say you're not afraid, but deep down you're probably still afraid, right?"
Ye Qing'an scoffed: "After taking this medicine, I still need to break through the Heart Demon Illusion. It's broad daylight outside, and someone might come at any time. If I can't get out of the Heart Demon Illusion, wouldn't that ruin everything?"
Ye Qing'an didn't want to tell Yi Moxu that she hadn't passed the Heart Demon Illusion twice on her first attempt, so she simply put the things back on the bookshelf.
"I initially thought you were planning to tamper with the Taotie incident and take advantage of the chaos. But after thinking about it, the Taotie is now attracting the attention of almost the entire world, and it would be unwise to join in on this."
"Are you trying to... use a feint?"
Yi Moxu lifted his eyelids, his gaze fixed on Ye Qing'an, but a smile curled at the corner of his lips: "I didn't know that Miss Ye was so clever? And had such discerning eyes?"
Ye Qing'an ignored his teasing: "That Taotie, you were the one who made it, weren't you?"
"Your spirit beast? Is it the ancient ferocious beast Taotie?"
Yi Moxu smiled, but did not answer.
However, her expression already told Ye Qing'an that her guess was true.
Ye Qing'an's mind raced: "I won't ask you what you want to do. I just want to know, how did you deal with the Taotie?"
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "Why... do you need to punish me?"
"In this world, there is no one who can be a match for Taotie, unless another Nine-Yuan Supreme Being appears in this world."
"In order to protect the Siyou Kingdom, Yi Yun Kui cannot simply ignore it. Once he decides to intervene, he will have to continuously send people over to feed the gluttonous beast."
"Why don't I take this opportunity to send all the people that Yi Yun Kui sent over into the belly of Taotie? That way, I'll see what else Yi Yun Kui can come up with to fight me."
Ye Qing'an's eyebrows twitched slightly...
Is he the Nine Supreme Beings?
"Using the Taotie to devour Yi Yun Kui's power and forces, then seizing his position and taking his place. Prince Duan certainly has a clever plan..."
"However, Yi Yun Kui has been able to sit in this position for so many years, so he must not be an ordinary person. Why do you think that he is absolutely unable to contend with you?"
"It doesn't matter if we have them..." Yi Moxu smiled casually, "Then let's see who has the better methods."
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "We'll see."
Therefore, according to Yi Moxu, both Ye Qinghao and Gu Hai are destined to die when they go to suppress the Taotie.
Die...
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips. "Fine."
However, it seemed a bit too lenient of him to simply fill that glutton's belly like that.
I have to make him know what he's done all these years, what kind of people he's kept by his bedside, and what kind of children he's given birth to, so he'll regret it...
She already had some plans in mind...
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes. Therefore, her top priority now was to quickly become a Supreme Being.
Yi Moxu looked at Ye Qing'an's ever-changing expression, then reached out and took Ye Qing'an's hand: "I've been gone for a whole day, have you missed me?"
"Huh?" Ye Qing'an came back to her senses and heard this sentence. She almost subconsciously rolled her eyes: "Even when you were in the manor, we didn't see each other every day, did we?"
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Yi Moxu suddenly laughed: "So, Qing'an is blaming me? Blaming me for not spending enough time with you?"
"..."
Ye Qing'an really didn't understand how Yi Moxu could so easily misinterpret other people's meanings. Just as she was about to refute him, she suddenly remembered what Consort Lan had said in the palace before...
