Chapter 421 He's probably also...
After Ye Zirui left, Ye Qing'an used her spiritual power to investigate the situation in the courtyard.
Ye Feiran led Granny Xu outside the courtyard, seemingly giving her some instructions.
Ye Qing'an pushed open the cabinet door and walked out, and Jiu Xiao also transformed into human form and followed behind him.
Lan Qing wasn't too surprised to see the two of them. She simply raised her hand and patted her chest, saying, "You scared me to death! I thought I could just pretend to be crazy and that would be enough, but I didn't expect..."
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips, realizing that Ye Zirui was not as easy to deal with as Ye Weilan.
"You did a great job, so he has no doubts."
"When he mentioned that matter at the end, I felt that he was testing the matter of the Night Demon that Master had told me before. However, Master had previously said that no one else knew that Liu Xueying was the Night Demon, so I hesitated and only hinted at it. I didn't expect that Ye Zirui would actually know."
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an nodded: "I was also somewhat surprised about this matter."
"Furthermore, his answer just now suggests that he knows more than just..."
Lan Qing and Ye Qing'an exchanged a glance: "He's probably also..."
Ye Qing'an nodded, recalling Ye Zirui's words over and over in her mind, her brows furrowing slightly: "If a Night Demon mates with a human, will the child born be a Night Demon or a human?"
"Could it be that someone looks like a human but possesses the abilities of a night demon?" Lan Qing asked.
Ye Qing'an had also guessed this in her heart, and nodded. After a long while, she said, "Ye Zirui is most likely the same as Liu Xueying. As for Ye Weilan, she should just be an ordinary person, which is why Liu Xueying and Ye Zirui regard her as a dispensable pawn."
That's why Ye Zirui said that Liu Xueying would do more than just this for a single pawn.
Ye Qing'an had never considered such a possibility before, but now that she knew about it, many of her thoughts were completely overturned.
If Ye Zirui is Ye Mei, could the plan Liu Xueying mentioned earlier be related to Ye Zirui's identity as Ye Mei?
These are things that even Ye Qinghao probably doesn't know.
The Nightshade Clan blends in with ordinary people, yet they gradually approach royalty and the center of power. What exactly do they want to do? What are their ambitions?
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes, and after a long while, he said indifferently, "I will find a way to investigate this matter. You don't need to worry. However, you will probably have to be more careful when dealing with Ye Zirui."
"Yes, I understand."
Ye Qing'an and Jiu Xiao turned and left. After entering the Cloud Dream Realm, Jiu Xiao finally spoke up: "What happened? What were you talking about just now? What is Ye Zirui? What do you mean he's the same as Liu Xueying?"
Ye Qing'an turned her head and glanced at Jiu Xiao. After a long while, she sighed softly and raised her hand to pat Jiu Xiao's head: "It's not your fault that you're not smart. Don't worry, since you've formed a spirit beast contract with me, even if you're an idiot, I won't easily abandon you."
"..."
Before Jiu Xiao could say anything more, Ye Qing'an said directly, "In a little while, Ye Zirui should send someone to invite me over to discuss matters concerning the Ye family. I have to go out and wait. You should stay here quietly. Now that we have Zhang San and Ling Yu, you can exchange the spiritual herbs they grow, the spiritual pills they refine, and the spiritual weapons they forge for money."
"The more silver, the better. Lingyu and Zhang San have no way to leave the Cloud Dream Realm, so you'll have to do this."
Jiu Xiao liked this job, but after being scolded by Ye Qing'an for being stupid, he now felt a little uninterested even when money was mentioned.
Just as he was about to argue with Ye Qing'an, Ye Qing'an had already left the Dreamland of Clouds.
"..." Jiu Xiao scratched his head in anger: "What? How am I stupid? I'm not stupid, I'm just normal. People like you, always talking in riddles and cryptic language, not speaking clearly, always saying half of what you mean, that's abnormal!"
Jiuxiao was furious. When he saw Lingyu bringing over the spiritual herbs to refine pills, he turned to look at Lingyu and said, "Little fool, do you think what I said is right?"
Ling Yu only raised her head to look at Jiu Xiao once, her face expressionless.
"..." Sigh, how could he forget that Ling Yu is expressionless and doesn't like to talk.
"Zhang San, do you think what I said is right?"
Zhang San chuckled and said, "I don't think it matters. If you think it's right, then it's right."
"That's definitely right."
Jiuxiao sighed: "An ancient magical beast like me exists by condensing thousands or tens of thousands of years of wisdom. You don't understand me, and I don't blame you."
"I just feel a little lonely because nobody understands me."
"..."
Just as Ye Qing'an had expected, not long after she left the Cloud Dream Realm, she heard the voices of servants outside. Then, Zi Xiao's voice rang out from outside the door: "Miss, the eldest young master invites you to the main study in the mansion to discuss matters."
Ye Qing'an responded, removed some of the hairpins and hair ornaments from her hair, put a new jade hairpin in, stood up, and left the bedroom.
The Ye family had a large study in the front courtyard, which was usually used to discuss matters with their guests.
This was Ye Qing'an's first time here.
The study contained many books and a long table. When Ye Qing'an entered, Ye Feiran was reading a letter.
"Zirui".
Ye Zirui quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Big sister."
Ye Qing'an responded and sat down opposite Ye Zirui: "Did Zirui go to visit Mother? How is she? Although I'm in the manor, but..."
“My mother generally doesn’t want to see me, so I try to avoid meeting her as much as possible so as not to aggravate her condition.”
Ye Zirui lowered his eyes: "The situation is not good. Although she recognized me when she saw me, she looked terrified and uneasy as soon as I got close. I didn't dare to get too close and just comforted her from a distance. I was afraid of upsetting her, so I had to leave first."
"However, Mother's condition has nothing to do with you, eldest sister, so you don't need to worry too much. Although I was born of Mother, I am not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qing'an let out a long sigh of relief: "That's good."
"Alright, let's not talk about Mother anymore. As for the current situation in the manor, I wonder what eldest sister thinks?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "Father has gone missing, so naturally we should try every means to find him. Even if it's just for show, we have to do it for others to see..."
Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly: "But since there was no one else in the manor before, I didn't dare to act rashly. Now that you've returned, I think..."
Ye Qing'an raised her head: "I want to go to the Monster Forest myself to find my father's whereabouts."
