Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this: "Ask them? Why would I ask them? Is there anything about them that I should know?"
"Liu Xueying is dead. As for Ye Qinghao..."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled, "I don't seem to have anything I want to know about him."
Now it was Gu Duo's turn to be surprised: "I thought you were with Yi Moxu to get rid of Ye Qinghao. After all, although I don't know how you've been doing in the Ye family for the past ten years, more than ten years ago, when I had the memory, the Ye family must have treated you very badly."
“Yes.” Ye Qing’an nodded: “I do want to get rid of Ye Qinghao, and even take control of the Ye family. My ambitions may go beyond that, but to deal with Ye Qinghao, I don’t need to know anything else.”
Upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words, Gu Duo couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahaha, that's interesting. How did Ye Qinghao raise a daughter like you? You really are a gem."
"Ye Qinghao didn't support me."
“Hmm, that’s true.” Gu Duo raised an eyebrow. “So, you didn’t come here to ask about Ye Qinghao, nor to ask about Liu Xueying, then what did you come to ask?”
"Just chatting because I'm bored. But compared to talking about Ye Qinghao and Liu Xueying, I'm probably more interested in the Gu family and the Liu family. Of the four major families, the Ye family and the Li family are the least interesting to me."
Gu Duo laughed again: "Why aren't you interested in the Li family?"
"I feel that the Li family members..." Ye Qing'an thought for a moment, "Yes, they are all military generals. They have brute strength and martial prowess, but they are not very smart. Some of them are stupid."
"Hahaha!" Gu Duo patted his knee: "Interesting, interesting. You're right. The Li family has all strength and no brains."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow at Gu Duo: "Between the Liu family and the Gu family, which one would you like to talk to me about first?"
"The Gu family, right? What do you want to know about the Gu family?"
Ye Qing'an thought for a moment, but did not immediately ask Gu Duo a question. Instead, she asked, "Do you know who will be the head of the Gu family after you?"
"Gu Hai?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, Gu Hai. Gu Hai..."
Ye Qing paused for a moment, then said, "He's dead. His death has something to do with me."
"Hmm?" Gu Duo raised an eyebrow.
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "I lured him into taking the Heavenly Spirit Pill."
"Died from an explosion?" Gu Duo asked.
"Mm." Ye Qing'an nodded.
Gu Duo scoffed, "After all these years, Gu Hai is still as stupid as ever. He makes no attempt to hide his ambition; anyone can see what he wants at a glance. Moreover, he is extremely easily tempted and easily fooled."
Hearing Gu Duo's evaluation of Gu Hai, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "It seems you also think that Gu Hai is a simple-minded person, but after you left Siyou Kingdom, Gu Hai served as the head of the Gu family for ten years."
“I’ve been feeling that something is strange about this matter lately. After thinking about it, I think it must have been done on purpose, deliberately putting him in the position of family head, deliberately using him to attract the attention of others, and deliberately causing the Gu family, under Gu Hai’s leadership, to go from being the head of the four major families to the last of the four major families.”
"But I don't know who is behind this, or what they want to do."
"I heard that after you betrayed your country, the Gu family sent people to contact you? Not long after, you got into trouble?"
Ye Qing'an squinted at Gu Duo: "When you had that accident, and your soul was later extracted, was the Gu family involved?"
Gu Duo raised an eyebrow, but smiled meaningfully: "So, all this back and forth, ostensibly about asking about the Gu family, has ultimately brought the conversation back to me?"
Ye Qing'an blinked: "I'm asking about the Gu family. I'm quite interested in the Gu family, and I'd really like to know what they're up to and who's pulling the strings behind the scenes."
Gu Duo shrugged: "I don't know."
"General Gu is not sincere."
Ye Qing'an looked helpless, raised his hand to rub his temples, and after a while said, "Since General Gu is unwilling to talk about the Gu family, let's talk about the Liu family instead."
"I don't want to hear about the Ye family or the Li family, and the General doesn't want to talk about the Gu family, so that leaves only the Liu family."
Gu Duo chuckled: "So it seems the only thing we can talk about is the Liu family?"
“Ah…” Ye Qing’an nodded: “The head of the Liu family, Liu Enze, are you familiar with Liu Enze? Some time ago, I was with the army in the Siyou Kingdom’s camp and had some contact with this Grand Tutor. I think this Grand Tutor is an interesting person with great wisdom.”
Gu Duo hummed in agreement: "I don't really understand Liu Enze either."
"Why do you say this?"
Gu Duo smiled and said, "You should know that I am the son of a concubine in the Gu family. I did not grow up in the Gu family when I was a child, and I did not have much contact with these aristocratic families. I first met Liu Enze on the battlefield."
"At that time, I was not yet famous. I had just made a small contribution and became a centurion with a hundred men under my command. The court sent Liu Enze to be my military advisor..."
"Back then, we actually looked down on Liu Enze a bit. We thought that such a weak scholar with no strength in mystical arts was no good enough to be our strategist."
"But this Grand Tutor Liu has truly impressed us with his abilities."
"At that time, we didn't have much interaction. It wasn't until later, when I repeatedly made meritorious contributions and became a general, that we were trapped in a valley with Liu Enze during a battle."
Gu Duo squinted, a number of images flashing through his mind.
"That battle completely impressed me with this Grand Tutor Liu. Although his spiritual power was not high, I felt that he was very alert. He could hear even an ant crawling by dozens of meters away."
"His intuition is also very sharp; he can accurately determine where there are traps and hidden weapons."
"Moreover, he is a very low-key person. We won that battle, but he did not take credit for it. Instead, he directly attributed all the credit to me."
Gu Duo chuckled: "Back then, I was young, and if there was any merit to be gained, why not? So I simply accepted it."
"Later, I was recognized by the Gu family and became the rumored Prince of Dingxi. Only then did my interactions with Liu Enze increase."
"It is precisely because we have more and more interactions that we are able to feel more and more how terrifying Liu Enze is."
Gu Duo's smile gradually faded: "I've always suspected that Liu Enze isn't human."
“He possesses abilities that seem beyond human capabilities. Moreover, he is extremely adept at understanding people’s hearts and at concealing his true nature. If he harbors ambitions, it would be a disaster for the Siyou Kingdom.”
