Chapter 240 Not Mad
Yi Moxu led his men to a mountainside hidden among countless deep mountains outside the city. The suspension bridge was lowered, and Ye Qing'an saw the three characters "Li Huo Ge" carved on the cliff.
Li Huo Pavilion?
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes, but quickly came to her senses. This place should be Yi Moxu's lair, right?
Could it be that everyone here practices the Fire Separation Technique?
Ye Qing'an slightly curled her fingers. Yi Moxu was truly audacious, bringing her, an outsider, here without any hesitation. Wasn't he afraid...?
As Ye Qing'an was pondering this, he was suddenly jolted awake by several greetings.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Your Excellency?
Ye Qing'an turned her head sharply and saw that both sides were filled with people, all wearing black cloaks and silver masks, and all of them were looking at her...
Ye Qing'an suddenly came to her senses and remembered that she should be in Yi Moxu's arms right now.
……
Ye Qing'an felt extremely embarrassed; she had never felt so embarrassed in her two lifetimes.
Ye Qing'an quietly raised her hand and gently pinched Yi Moxu's waist.
Yi Moxu lowered his head, his gaze falling on Ye Qing'an's face, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly: "Wait, we'll be there soon."
Are we almost there? Where are we?
Was this person doing it on purpose?
She clearly wanted Yi Moxu to put her down, but this person deliberately misinterpreted her meaning.
Soon, Yi Moxu carried Ye Qing'an and lay down on a large chair. Ye Qing'an looked around and realized that this must be the place where the Li Huo Pavilion held its meetings...
Ye Qing'an frowned, and when she looked down, she could see dozens of Yi Moxu's subordinates standing below.
Ye Qing'an turned her head and her gaze fell on the carvings on the chair, feeling her ears get slightly hot.
“Take Gu Duo to the Mingtang and settle him in.”
"Yes."
"You all should step aside first."
Then, Ye Qing'an heard countless footsteps. After a while, Ye Qing'an turned her head and found that the people below had indeed disappeared. In the huge place, only she and Yi Moxu remained. But, of all things, Yi Moxu insisted on squeezing into the same chair as her.
Although the chair is large enough to accommodate two people, physical contact is still inevitable.
Ye Qing'an's face grew increasingly red: "Why aren't you using magic to break the ice spell on me?"
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she noticed that the smile in Yi Moxu's eyes deepened.
"why are you laughing?"
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes and chuckled softly: "The ice and snow on your body have long since melted away, and you can move on your own now. Haven't you noticed?"
"Did you really not notice? Or was my embrace too comfortable for you to leave? So, you didn't want to notice?"
Ye Qing'an was taken aback. She raised her hand and found that, just as Yi Moxu had said, her body was already able to move.
Ye Qing'an was furious, feeling that she had been thoroughly mocked by Yi Moxu again. She glared at Yi Moxu and was about to leave.
Before she could even get off the chair, her hand was grabbed by Yi Moxu.
Ye Qing'an swept a sharp look over, only to see that although Yi Moxu had a smile on his face, the smile did not reach his eyes at all.
Ye Qing'an frowned: "Now that Gu Duo is in your hands, what else is there to be unhappy about?"
"Thank you." Yi Moxu smiled. "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have had a hard time bringing Gu Duo back today."
“Now that you’ve brought Gu Duo back, why don’t you go and see him? But…” Ye Qing’an paused for a moment, “Gu Duo has gone mad. The reason Ye Qinghao spared his life for nearly ten years was probably because Gu Duo was insane. Ye Qinghao had no way of getting anything useful out of him.”
Yi Moxu shook his head: "Gu Duo isn't crazy."
"Hasn't he gone mad?" Ye Qing'an's face was full of surprise. How could this be? If he's not mad, why is he like this?
However, Gu Duo's reaction after seeing Yi Moxu take off his mask was indeed a bit strange, as if... he recognized him?
And Gu Duo didn't ask anything before obediently following Yi Moxu.
Ye Qing'an carefully considered everything that had happened: "Does Gu Duo recognize you?"
"Ye Qinghao set up a restriction on that coffin, so I couldn't open it. But after my spirit beast left to find you, Gu Duo broke the restriction himself, destroyed the coffin, and came out of it."
"After we came out, he acted very strangely. He kept asking me if I could see the red mole on his palm, saying that I needed a red mole to find his little flower."
“I simply told him that he didn’t have a red mole on his palm, and suddenly his Fiery Eyes appeared.”
"But why can his Blazing Eyes appear suddenly and disappear so quickly?"
Yi Moxu smiled and glanced at his hand holding Ye Qing'an's wrist: "Hmm, he can control the appearance and disappearance of the Fire Eyes?"
"What?" Ye Qing'an was taken aback. All she knew was that after reaching the ninth level of the Fire Eye, the Fire Eye would appear every month. Once the Fire Eye appeared, it was completely beyond her control and would cause her unbearable pain.
However, none of the books she had read before mentioned that anyone could freely control the appearance and disappearance of the Fiery Eyes...
and……
"Isn't Gu Duo rumored to have the Supreme Physique? How come he can cultivate the Fire Separation Technique?"
Yi Moxu chuckled lightly: "Before I was exiled, my innate talent was quite high."
Ye Qing'an fell silent. She knew about Yi Moxu's situation; it was because Yi Moxu had all his spiritual power destroyed during his exile and had his marrow and tendons cleansed, making it impossible for him to cultivate Xuanling techniques anymore...
"But judging from Gu Duo's behavior, he really has gone mad, hasn't he? Yet you just said he wasn't mad?"
Yi Moxu pursed his lips: "He's not crazy, he's just had a part of his soul and spirit taken away by someone."
"Your soul and spirit have been taken away?" Ye Qing'an's eyes widened. There was actually someone who could steal souls and spirits?
In her previous life, she had never heard of such evil magic.
but……
Ye Qing'an bit her lip. When she first arrived here, she met Jiu Xiao in the Cloud Dreamland. Jiu Xiao had said that she was held back by her past life and only left behind a soul and a spirit here, becoming Ye Qing'an. Although she was like an ordinary person in other aspects, she was unable to cultivate.
She was only able to cultivate after her soul was fully restored and the seal was lifted.
Did Gu Duo also lose a part of his soul and spirit?
Judging from his appearance, he wasn't incapable of cultivation; the lost soul and spirit were controlling his mind.
Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Only by finding the fragment of his soul that he lost can we know what Gu Duo went through back then, and what secrets he hid..."
