Chapter 402 Have you ever heard an opera?
The butler nodded, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with worry: "This rain is probably not rain at all, but rather a water-based mystical sorcerer using magic."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "A water-based mystic sorcerer using magic?"
"The commotion just now affected a wide area. If a water-based mystic sorcerer was using magic, then either there are a lot of mystic sorcerers, or the person using the magic has extremely high spiritual power."
Ye Qing'an secretly calculated in her heart, then looked up at the steward: "If we want to achieve the same effect as before, and if it's just one person, then the Xuanling sorcerer should at least be a Saint-level or higher, right?"
"I don't know much about magic, I was just saying it offhand, but I don't know if what I said is correct."
The steward nodded slightly: "What the young lady says is correct. However, this old servant doesn't know whether it's one person or several. But just now, the hidden guards discovered that the Taotie has appeared in the sky again. Right above our Wangjing City, but..."
"But now it's completely dark, and there are dark clouds tonight, so we can't see the stars or the moon. So there probably aren't many people who can see it."
Ye Qing'an immediately understood the steward's meaning: "The Taotie has reappeared in the sky above our Wangjing City, so the spell just now must have been to deal with the Taotie."
Ye Qing'an's expression immediately changed: "But Father also went to deal with that Taotie. Could Father be among them?"
Ye Qing'an bit her lip: "What kind of Xuanling sorcerer is Father?"
She had been at the Ye residence for so long, and had rarely seen Ye Qinghao make a move, only...
Only during that night when Qinghao and Yimoxu fought over Gu Duo's coffin.
She remembered that day when she saw Ye Qinghao and Yi Moxu fighting, the two beams of light were one red and one blue.
The one in red is naturally Yi Moxu, who has cultivated the Fire Separation Technique.
Ye Qinghao, however, is blue.
Blue should represent the water system.
Sure enough, just as Ye Qing'an had finished thinking about it, she heard the butler's voice: "Water system."
"The master is a water-based mystical sorcerer."
Ye Qing'an nodded, her brows furrowing as well.
What's going on here this time?
Ye Qing'an secretly calculated the time in her heart. She had previously predicted that Ye Qinghao's trip to deal with the Taotie was a show of weakness.
Since it's a show of weakness, it's impossible to escape unscathed.
Ye Qinghao has been away from Wangjing City for several days now, and with so many things happening in the manor recently, he must be getting restless.
Ye Qing'an suddenly raised her head and looked at the butler, her gaze meeting his directly. Ye Qing'an's throat bobbed slightly: "I wonder if things are as I imagine them to be?"
"I wonder what the young lady is thinking right now?"
Ye Qing'an raised her hand, dipped it in the tea placed to the side, wrote two words on the table, and then quickly wiped them away.
The butler's gaze deepened, and he simply nodded slightly: "Yes."
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, as if her heart had jumped out of her chest: "Then... what should I do now?"
Seeing Ye Qing'an's reaction, the butler's lips curled slightly: "Has the young lady ever heard of a play?"
"I've heard of it, but not many times."
"It doesn't matter if it's not much." The butler smiled. "In the past, Miss only listened to operas. Now, it's probably Miss's turn to perform for everyone."
She'll put on a show for everyone?
Ye Qing'an raised her eyes, stared intently at the butler, bit her lower lip lightly, and after a long while, nodded gently: "I understand, butler, rest assured, I will do my best."
The butler responded and then said, "Miss, there's no need to be too anxious. All you need to do now is wait for news at the manor."
"The young lady will only make her grand entrance after we receive the news."
"Miss still has time; she can make proper preparations."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Yes, I will definitely... prepare well."
After speaking, her body trembled almost imperceptibly. Ye Qing'an barely managed to steady herself: "The steward should be in the manor, right?"
Looking at Ye Qing'an's appearance, the steward guessed that she was still a little scared. He smiled slightly and nodded gently: "This old servant will naturally stay in the manor. However, with such a major event happening in the manor, this old servant cannot stay in the manor forever. There are some things that this old servant must arrange."
"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here." Ye Qing'an breathed a long sigh of relief. When she saw the butler looking at her, she smiled a little embarrassedly. "It's not that I don't know how, it's just that I'm a little unsure. If the butler is here, he could spare a little time to keep an eye on things and let me know that I haven't done anything wrong, and that would be fine."
"Don't worry, Miss, this old servant will."
The steward cupped his hands in greeting and said, "This old servant will take his leave now."
Ye Qing'an agreed, but her eyes remained fixed on the steward.
It wasn't until the butler left the courtyard that he felt the gaze behind him seemed to have disappeared.
The butler stopped and slightly raised his hand, at which point a hidden guard suddenly appeared behind him.
The butler curled his lips into a smile: "Go and report to the master that everything has been arranged. As for Miss, he can rest assured. Although Miss has become more composed and has enough wisdom and courage, she is still just a young lady from a noble family. She has not really experienced any great storms and is still a little apprehensive."
"Don't worry about the young lady, sir. We will definitely be able to control her. Besides, she has nothing and can't cause any trouble."
"Yes."
The guards responded and left, and only then did the steward lift his foot and walk forward.
In the courtyard behind them, Ye Qing'an had already returned to her bedroom and was lifting the lampshade, fiddling with the wick with a long needle.
With a crackling sound, a lamp suddenly popped, making the room a little brighter.
Ye Qing'an put the lampshade with the painting of ladies back on, and the corners of her mouth finally curled up slightly.
"Young Miss, why is the steward here at this hour? Is something wrong? I really didn't understand the riddle between the steward and the young lady. I only heard the steward say that the rain just now was because the Taotie returned to the skies above our Wangjing City, and the water-based mystical sorcerers fought against it, which caused the rain just now?" Wei Mama's eyes were full of confusion.
Ye Qing'an walked back to the soft couch and sat down before nodding gently: "Yes, Taotie is back."
"Ah..." Perhaps because the trauma of the gluttonous beast was still too strong, Granny Wei couldn't help but open her mouth wide: "What are we going to do? That gluttonous beast can eat so much, what if it swallows the entire Wangjing City whole?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "That's a possibility."
"what?"
