Chapter 344 Go and say it yourself
Jiuxiao blinked: "Take this opportunity to frame Liu Xueying?"
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "Let Ye Feiran get poisoned, and then send him away under the pretense of taking him to see a doctor."
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Jiu Xiao understood: "You want to pin the blame for poisoning Ye Feiran on Liu Xueying?"
"It could be either her or Ye Weilan."
Jiuxiao pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly: "It's not impossible. Now that Ye Qinghao is not in the manor, and most of his hidden guards have been transferred away, it's like a tiger in the mountains, so I can say that I can run rampant in this Ye manor."
Thinking of this, Jiu Xiao felt a little excited and just chuckled: "Great, fantastic! What do you want to do? Leave it to me to arrange."
"Come here."
Jiu Xiao quickly leaned closer and heard Ye Qing'an's voice in his ear: "Go to Liu Xueying's courtyard now..."
Jiu Xiao rolled his eyes, and after Ye Qing'an finished giving his instructions, he chuckled and said, "It's possible, but... if I handle this matter well, you'll have to give me a reward."
Ever since this snake transformed into a dragon, it dares to ask for rewards?
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "What reward do you want?"
"My requirements aren't high. Well, I just want to choose the best restaurant in the whole of Wangjing and have them make all their signature dishes for me to try."
"A restaurant might have at least a dozen or twenty signature dishes, if not a hundred. Could you possibly eat them all?"
"Of course, who do you think I look down on? I have a huge mouth and a huge body. Even if there are ten or twenty dishes, they're only enough to fill my teeth."
“That’s true, after all, you’re not human.” Ye Qing’an raised her eyebrows and laughed again: “Ah, when I said you’re not human, I wasn’t insulting you. You weren’t human to begin with.”
"..."
"Alright, you've taken care of things for me. I'll treat you to a meal. Hurry up and go, don't waste any time."
Jiuxiao snorted softly, but obeyed and left obediently.
After Jiu Xiao left, Ye Qing'an secretly reviewed her plan in her mind one last time before beginning to meditate and cultivate.
As her level increased, she could clearly feel that the spiritual energy in the Cloud Dream Realm was becoming more and more abundant. Although she hoped to find the Heavenly Spirit Pearl as soon as possible, that thing was really hard to come by. While searching for the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, she must not slack off in her cultivation.
After circulating her spiritual energy for three cycles, Ye Qing'an slowly exhaled. Based on her usual experience, after circulating her spiritual energy for three cycles, it would be around 5 a.m., and she should leave the Cloud Dream Realm and return home.
Ye Qing'an opened her eyes, her brows furrowing slightly.
Jiuxiao has not yet returned.
Logically speaking, the task she gave was not difficult to complete, and if nothing unexpected happened, one or two hours should be enough.
But four hours have already passed.
Although Jiuxiao was a bit playful, once he finished his business and knew she was waiting for the results, he would always inform her first, even if he wanted to go out and play.
Could it be that something happened?
Now that Ye Qinghao is not in the manor, and with the Cloud Dream Realm around, if anything happens, Jiuxiao can return directly to the Cloud Dream Realm, so the chances of something going wrong are not high.
What happened?
Ye Qing'an frowned, pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and quickly drew a summoning circle beside him.
As soon as the summoning spell was cast, Ye Qing'an's heart sank deeper and deeper. There was no response from the other side of the summoning spell, as if everything had vanished without a trace...
Jiuxiao did not step out of the summoning circle.
Ye Qing'an's hand, which was hanging to the side, tightened suddenly: "Something must have happened."
But it was almost dawn, and if she went to Liu Xueying's place again, she was afraid there wouldn't be enough time.
Ye Qing'an's fingers twitched slightly, and she could faintly hear voices coming from the courtyard.
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath and left the Cloud Dreamland.
Soon, footsteps could be heard outside the door; judging from the sound, it must be Granny Wei.
Ye Qing'an called out to summon the servants, washed up, ate breakfast, and was secretly making plans when she heard a maid announce from outside: "Miss, the steward has arrived."
Ye Qing'an stepped out of the room and saw the steward enter.
"Butler, has Father returned to the manor?"
"Not yet." The steward shook his head. "This old servant is here to inform Miss of this matter. Although the Taotie has left Wangjing City, it is still causing trouble in the suburbs. Many cultivators have already rushed over there."
"News has come from the palace that the master has volunteered to lead troops to subdue the Taotie monster, and His Majesty has agreed. They are expected to leave the city today."
Ye Qing'an was shocked: "What? Father is going to lead troops to subdue that Taotie monster?"
Ye Qing'an's eyes were filled with panic and worry: "But that Taotie monster is so terrifying, Father..."
Ye Qing'an suddenly stopped, bit her lip, and then looked up: "Father is leaving the city today, will he come back to the manor?"
"It's probably not going to happen. When he sent someone to report the matter just now, he also told someone to pack up his things and take them away with him."
"So urgent?" Ye Qing'an looked slightly flustered, pacing back and forth in the room. "Did the person Father sent say anything? Did Father give any instructions?"
"Master asked me to tell Miss that the Ye family will be in your care while he is away. He hopes that you will take good care of the Ye family."
Ye Qing'an nodded and took a deep breath: "I understand, Father. Don't worry, I will certainly live up to his expectations."
Even as he said this, Ye Qing'an's eyes were still full of worry: "That Taotie eats everything and is so powerful. So many cultivators have been eaten by it before. Father, please make sure nothing happens to you on your journey."
"By the way, butler, are we able to find out what's going on with Father?"
"It will probably not be easy."
Seeing Ye Qing'an's state, the butler thought that although Ye Qing'an had appeared very calm and intelligent before, she was still young and a woman who had not experienced any great storms. It was normal for her to be so panicked. So he gently comforted her, "Miss, don't worry, Master will be fine."
Ye Qing'an nodded, and after a long while, he sighed, "With Father gone, I must protect the Ye family well."
“These are extraordinary times, and we must gather the strength of the entire household to come up with a plan.” Ye Qing’an bit her lip: “In the nearly ten years since Mother passed away, she has been in charge of managing the affairs of the household. She should be more experienced.”
"I..." Ye Qing'an seemed to hesitate for a moment, then said, "I'll go and discuss this matter with my mother..."
Ye Qing'an looked up at the butler: "Mother probably doesn't know about this, does she?"
"Don't know yet."
"Okay, that's fine. I'll go and talk to my mother myself."
