Chapter 364 Play hard to get?
Ye Qing'an's eyes darted around: "I lived on the estate for four or five years before..."
"So, you met him at the manor?"
"Ah."
Yi Moxu raised an eyebrow, looking at Ye Qing'an with a half-smile: "It seems that all sorts of people like to go to your Ye family's estate."
"You met Consort Lan by chance at your manor and saved her. It was also at that manor that you encountered your spirit beast. Even I was someone you met at that manor, and I even helped you repair your meridians and dantian."
"And now, you killed Liu Xueying, and the person you placed in the Ye residence to impersonate Liu Xueying is still the one you met at the manor?"
Ye Qing'an sensed the sarcasm in his words, but still nodded seriously: "Yes, we met at the manor."
Seeing Yi Moxu speechless, Ye Qing'an secretly found it amusing, and her smile deepened.
"I need to leave the Ye residence for a while. Can you help me find a reason?"
Ye Qing'an was taken aback, and her smile faded: "When you were examining Liu Xueying earlier, why didn't you use such a convenient excuse? You could have just said that you could cure Liu Xueying's poison, but you needed some spiritual herbs, which were extremely difficult to find, and you would have to go out and find them yourself. Wouldn't that have been fine?"
"I don't want to use it, I want you to help me find a good excuse."
"..."
It's really justified.
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes: "When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow or the day after is fine."
Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment in her heart: "Alright, then I'll think of another way."
After saying this, Ye Qing'an didn't speak again. On the contrary, Yi Moxu kept looking at her while drinking tea.
When Yi Moxu looked at her for the sixth or seventh time, Ye Qing'an finally couldn't help but ask, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
Yi Moxu put down his teacup: "About ten years ago, before I had my accident, Yi Yunkui and my mother had a fairly good relationship. Back then, if Yi Yunkui told my mother that he wanted to leave the palace or leave Wangjing City for a while, my mother would always ask him to find out the details..."
"Where are you going? What are you going to do? How many days will you be gone? Who will you be with? Is it safe?"
"After asking her about everything, I would also secretly consider whether she was suitable to go on that trip. If it wasn't anything urgent and I could bring her along, I would ask her if she could come along."
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows. Why did you suddenly bring up the matter of Yi Yun Kui and Consort Lan?
Ye Qing'an was puzzled, but then he heard Yi Moxu continue unhurriedly: "Later, when I grew up, I saw many ordinary couples, and most of them were like this. Whenever the husband went out, the wife would always ask a lot of questions in a rambling way."
"..."
Why did Ye Qing'an feel that the direction of these words seemed a little off?
"That Mid-Autumn Festival night, in your dream world, I thought you had already fallen for me. But lately, you seem to have started hiding like a turtle, retreating into your shell. Now, when I say I'm going out, you don't ask me anything..."
Yi Moxu reached over the low table and lifted Ye Qing'an's chin: "Playing hard to get? Hmm?"
"..."
Ye Qing'an suppressed the urge to rub her forehead and only sighed softly. At first, she thought Yi Moxu was aloof and detached from worldly affairs. Later, after getting to know him better, she felt that he was cold and domineering. Now she felt more and more that the so-called aloofness and indifference were just an illusion.
This guy is a total closet pervert.
"Playing hard to get?" Ye Qing'an murmured Yi Moxu's words before raising her eyes: "Do I need to play hard to get with you?"
After saying that, he brushed Yi Moxu's hand away.
"What do you think I should do? Stick to you all day long? Say 'I love you' all the time? If you leave for even a moment, I'll chase after you and interrogate you relentlessly?"
Yi Moxu imagined what it would be like if Ye Qing'an did that, and after a long while, she silently withdrew her hand.
Ye Qing'an scoffed: "I wouldn't do something like that. If you prefer, go find someone else."
"Tsk."
Yi Moxu sat down and after a long while said, "Although Yi Yunkui sent Ye Qinghao and Gu Hai to subdue the Taotie, he didn't really take it seriously. The people he sent... weren't even enough for the Taotie to have a meal with."
"But soon, that Taotie will let Yi Yun Kui know that things are not so simple."
Ye Qing'an couldn't help but lift her eyelids slightly. Yi Moxu's few words revealed a lot of information.
He seemed to... have a very good understanding of that Taotie.
Or perhaps, it's not about understanding, but rather...
A thought flashed through Ye Qing'an's mind, and she paused slightly.
"Afterwards, the Taotie will wreak havoc on the world, and Yi Yun Kui will send elite troops to reinforce it." Yi Mo Xu's face was calm and composed: "This is an excellent opportunity..."
Yi Moxu didn't say what the opportunity was, but Ye Qing'an immediately understood.
"That's good. If that's the case, then Ye Qinghao probably won't be back for a while."
The two looked at each other and then laughed. Yi Moxu reached out and took Ye Qing'an's hand. Ye Qing'an didn't say anything or pull away: "I will arrange it carefully."
With Ye Qinghao not in the mansion and Liu Xueying having gotten into trouble, Ye Qing'an stayed quietly in the house all day looking at the account books. Fortunately, there was still the Sixth Concubine in the mansion to help, so nothing went wrong.
That evening, after the lights in the mansion were turned off, Ye Qing'an went to the Cloud Dreamland.
Not long after, Jiuxiao also came in.
"I spent the whole day guarding Liu Xueying, probably to put on an act for the Ye family. Ye Weilan also spent the whole day guarding her, constantly sobbing and choking, which was very annoying."
Jiu Xiao sat down on the rock: "I think Lan Qing is quite skilled at pretending to be crazy. After Ye Weilan fed her medicine, she only needs to sleep in bed. There shouldn't be any problems."
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an nodded. This Lan Qing was smarter than she had thought.
If she could truly use him, he would be a good helper.
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao; at least it was much better than this snake.
"What do you plan to do next?" Jiu Xiao blinked. "Did you hook up with Yi Moxu beforehand? What he said earlier was quite intimidating, leaving you plenty of room to maneuver. You can decide when Liu Xueying returns to normal, it's all up to fate."
Ye Qing'an recalled what Yi Moxu had said, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
She hadn't told Yi Moxu beforehand, but his approach to the situation was quite to her liking.
"Next..." Ye Qing'an's mind raced quickly: "Next, send Ye Feiran away."
"What method?"
"Let's use this Destiny Powder."
