Chapter 451 After all, she is a woman
Ye Qinghao sneered: "No doubt about it, that's probably his plan."
"Really? What should we do then? This is just my speculation, and I haven't told anyone about it. What if General Gu really did take the Heavenly Spirit Pearl and his body explodes and he dies..."
A fierce glint flashed in Ye Qinghao's eyes: "If he explodes and dies, that's fine. I'm just afraid that he will really upgrade to the Supreme Realm."
"Ten or twenty years ago, the Gu family was actually the most powerful of the four great families because they had Gu Duo. After Gu Duo left, no other supreme figures emerged from the four great families, and their power gradually became more balanced. Later, under my leadership, the Ye family gradually rose to the top."
“Now that such a change has occurred, with you in our clan, having become a Supreme Being and subdued the Taotie, our Ye family will surely continue to dominate for the next few decades. But if Gu Hai consumes the Heavenly Spirit Pearl and becomes a Supreme Being, the situation will be different.”
Ye Qinghao glanced at Ye Qing'an, his brows furrowing slightly: "Although you are also a Supreme Being, you are, after all, a woman. Gu Hai is different..."
She is, after all, a woman?
Ye Qing'an scoffed inwardly. So, just because she was a woman, even if she was a supreme being, she was still inferior?
However, Ye Qinghao probably wouldn't know that the woman he spoke of with such disdain was actually a Nine Yuan Supreme Body.
Becoming the Supreme Being was only the beginning for her.
In that sense, she felt she had to keep Ye Qinghao alive, to keep him alive and see how she, a woman he looked down upon, could turn the world upside down and create chaos.
"We absolutely cannot let Gu Hai consume the Heavenly Spirit Pearl and become a Supreme Being."
Ye Qing'an looked panicked and asked, "Father, what should we do?"
Ye Qinghao paced back and forth a few steps, then stopped: "What should we do..."
"Either let Gu Hai die, or steal the Heavenly Spirit Pearl from him and find a way to get it to me so that I can... take it."
Ye Qinghao was indeed harboring such a plan; he was truly tempted.
Indeed, for a cultivator, no cultivator would remain unmoved by the temptation of becoming a Supreme Being.
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly: "That is indeed an excellent method. So, Father, what are your plans? Gu Hai is, after all, the head of the Gu family, so we can't act openly. If we want the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, stealing it would be the best option."
“But after the theft at the Gu residence, two Heavenly Spirit Pearls suddenly appeared. I always felt that these two Heavenly Spirit Pearls were most likely the ones from the Gu residence. Under such circumstances, now that the Heavenly Spirit Pearl has been recovered, Gu Hai will definitely try his best to keep it safe. It will probably not be easy to steal it back.”
Ye Qinghao sneered: "It has to be done, even if it's difficult. We absolutely cannot allow Gu Hai to become the Supreme Being and for the Gu family to trample our Ye family underfoot."
“Okay.” Ye Qing’an nodded repeatedly: “Then what do you need me to do, Father? We need to hurry, I’m afraid Gu Hai will be too eager to eat the Heavenly Spirit Pearl.”
"No, not now." Ye Qinghao shook his head. "Although Gu Hai is eager to become a Supreme, I know his personality best. He is cautious, suspicious, and doesn't easily trust others."
"Even if he sees you consume the Heavenly Spirit Pearl today and upgrades to a Supreme Being, he will still have doubts in his heart, doubting that this is a trap we set for him. Therefore, he will probably hesitate for a while. Even if his desire to become a Supreme Being is so strong that he can't help but take risks, he will definitely arrange everything properly before taking the risk."
"Yes." Ye Qing'an nodded. "Then should I continue to wait here by the Monster Forest under the pretense of waiting for news from Father? Or should I go back to Wangjing with Gu Hai?"
"Go back with him. After all, Gu Hai and his men can't handle escorting the Taotie, so this is the perfect excuse. You stay with him and keep a close eye on Gu Hai for me. If he makes any unusual moves, like arranging something, send someone to report to me."
"I need to think of a good way to deal with Gu Hai and take the Heavenly Spirit Pearl from him."
Ye Qinghao's gaze fell on the fireflies dancing not far away: "And it's not just Gu Hai and me. Once the news of your advancement to the Supreme Being spreads, I'm afraid countless people with Holy Spirit Bodies will be tempted. At that time, I'm afraid quite a few people will try every means to snatch the Heavenly Spirit Pearl from Gu Hai's hands."
"No matter how well Gu Hai hides it, it's useless, because there are some people that Gu Hai simply cannot refuse."
Ye Qing'an slightly lifted her eyelids. The only person Gu Hai couldn't refuse was... the current emperor, Yi Yun Kui.
Indeed, Gu Hai would be tempted, Ye Qinghao would be tempted, and Yi Yunkui would naturally be too.
One was the ruler, the other the subject.
Gu Hai dared not disobey unless he wanted to completely break with Yi Yun Kui and plot a rebellion.
Ye Qing'an's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Gu Hai should have considered these things. I think that under these circumstances, Gu Hai will not immediately lead the army back to Wangjing City. He will stay here for a few more days to delay the time and then take advantage of this time to arrange everything properly."
"Hmm." Hearing Ye Qing'an say this, Ye Qinghao couldn't help but glance at Ye Qing'an and nodded slightly: "That is indeed possible, but it doesn't matter. Just stay by Gu Hai's side and keep an eye on him. If the theft fails, we'll find a way to rob him by force. In any case, Gu Hai shouldn't be a match for you now."
Ye Qing'an paused slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded gently: "Alright, I will follow Father's arrangements."
Seeing Ye Qing'an's appearance, Ye Qinghao's lips curled up: "Very good, as expected of my daughter, Ye Qinghao. What the abbot said before was indeed true. You are the real lucky star. The future of the Ye family rests on your shoulders. I didn't believe it before, but now I believe it completely."
Ye Qinghao's gaze lingered on Ye Qing'an for a long time before he waved his hand and said, "You've been out for quite a while now. Go back first. It wouldn't be good if someone found out."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Then I'll take my leave now."
Ye Qing'an bowed, then turned and walked out following the direction of the fireflies.
Ye Qing'an's figure gradually disappeared into the boundless dense forest, and then a white figure suddenly appeared at Ye Qinghao's feet.
