Chapter 192 Someone wants to kill me
Jiu Xiao blinked: "Impossible? That Ninth Concubine has been gone for two or three years, hasn't she? Men, especially those like Ye Qinghao, who fall in love with every woman they see and have countless wives and concubines at home, probably have long forgotten about that Ninth Concubine."
Ye Qing'an did not refute, but simply stood up casually: "Whether you've forgotten or not, you'll know once you try."
"Try? How?"
Jiu Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an, who had already stood up, and asked, "Are you getting ready to leave already?"
"No, wait a little longer, let them be happy for one more night. If they still can't find me after one night, Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan will probably be convinced that I'm dead."
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "Only by delivering a fatal blow when they are happiest can they remember it for a lifetime."
Ye Qing'an walked to the purple-gold furnace to the side and saw that it was already refining pills.
"What kind of elixir are you refining now?"
"Hmm, Phoenix Rejuvenating Pill."
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Jiu Xiao: "Phoenix Returning Pill?"
Ye Qing'an had seen the booklet of pill formulas before, and she remembered that the so-called Phoenix Rejuvenation Pill was a beauty and skin-nourishing pill that could rejuvenate the skin.
Jiuxiao nodded, a hint of unease in his expression: "Ahem, you must not underestimate this Phoenix Returning Pill. I refined a few and sold them before. Recently, many noble ladies in the city have been asking where the pill came from. Many people are willing to pay a high price to buy the Phoenix Returning Pill."
"In fact, the price of this Phoenix Returning Pill is dozens of times that of pills that increase cultivation level."
Jiuxiao clicked his tongue: "I never expected that the most popular medicine would be this kind of pill."
“Although you brought back a lot of silver from the Su family yesterday, there are still many things you want to do. Spending money like water can't withstand constant spending. So I thought, whatever kind of pill it is, whatever sells for a high price, I'll just refine that kind of pill.”
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao but didn't say anything. She just glanced at Jiu Xiao and said, "You look a bit like those wandering alchemists who sell all sorts of random pills."
Jiu Xiao was playing with her hair when she heard Ye Qing'an's words and immediately became unhappy: "Who am I doing this for?"
"For my sake." Ye Qing'an chuckled, his gaze sweeping over the pill furnace. "If you want to sell them for a high price, you can't sell ordinary pills below the fourth grade. You have to buy some spiritual herbs to refine spiritual pills."
Ye Qing'an tossed the remaining seventh-grade spirit pill from her sleeve to Jiu Xiao: "Take this out and try it out first."
"Take it out for people to see first, but don't sell it yet. Just have someone hang it on the shops that sell pills. If anyone wants it, they can make an offer. After three days, the highest bidder wins."
Jiuxiao's eyes lit up immediately: "That's a good idea. I'll go find someone to try it out."
Not long after Jiuxiao left, Shiyi rushed in, shouting, "Mother, Mother!"
Ye Qing'an smiled and bent down to catch Eleven: "What brings you here?"
"It was already dark. I told the servants I was going to sleep, and then I came in." Eleven chuckled, "Mother, I behaved very well today. Nobody knows you haven't really disappeared."
"Moreover, Granny Wei was worried that I was too sad, so she went to find Uncle Xu to keep me company for a while, but I didn't even tell Uncle Xu."
Ye Qing'an laughed: "Your Uncle Xu knows."
Eleven's eyes widened immediately: "Really? When did you and Uncle Xu start having an affair... no, when did you start secretly having an affair?"
Ye Qing'an was both amused and exasperated. Although the child had been learning to read and write for a long time, he still couldn't use many idioms properly.
"Someone tried to make my mother disappear, but it was Uncle Xu who saved me."
Eleven's eyes widened even more: "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"As the saying goes, a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's body." Eleven blinked: "When will Mother repay Uncle Xu with her body?"
"Nonsense." Ye Qing'an tapped Eleven's head. "Hurry up and practice your skills! If you don't practice properly, how will you protect your mother in the future? There are so many people who want to harm her..."
Ye Qing'an looked aggrieved, and Shiyi quickly puffed out his chest: "Yes, I must practice my skills well, after all, I am Mother's secret weapon."
Without hesitation, Shiyi sat down on a nearby rock and began meditating and practicing.
"Eat the pill first." Ye Qing'an took out a pill and fed it to Eleven. Eleven obediently ate it, and Ye Qing'an sat down and began to cultivate with Eleven.
He cultivated for a whole night, and left early the next morning.
Jiu Xiao began to report the situation outside to Ye Qing'an: "The news that you haven't found has already reached Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan's courtyard. As you guessed, Liu Xueying didn't react much because she had already anticipated this outcome."
"Ye Weilan was overjoyed. After hearing the news, she smiled triumphantly and said that now all that was left was to find your body. She also said that if you had been missing for a long time, it would not matter whether the body was found or not; it would be better if the remains were not found at all."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Alright, no remains left. This way of dying is quite suitable for the mother and daughter."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he conjured countless ice swords. However, the ice swords suddenly turned their heads in the void and swooped down towards Ye Qing'an.
"Ah..." Jiuxiao's eyes widened, and he was about to pounce on him: "Are you crazy?"
However, his speed was no match for those ice swords. The ice swords grazed Ye Qing'an, tearing her clothes on her shoulders, arms, and waist, and soon, blood seeped out.
Ye Qing'an, however, seemed to feel no pain at all, and remained nonchalant: "Since we're going to perform, we should naturally perform it more realistically."
“Summon me to a place in the garden that is close to the main courtyard, a place where there are few people.”
Jiuxiao glanced at Ye Qing'an, and after a long while, he agreed and quickly left the Cloud Dreamland.
After Ye Qing'an left the Cloud Dream Realm through the summoning array, she started running as soon as she landed. Because she was not familiar with the terrain of the back garden, she stumbled and fell as she ran.
"Help! Help! Someone's trying to kill me!"
As Ye Qing'an shouted, she ran swiftly towards the main courtyard.
"Young Miss, it's Young Miss!"
"Oh my god, what's wrong with her?"
Before Ye Qing'an even reached the main courtyard, Ye Qinghao had already heard the news and hurried out of the main courtyard. Upon seeing Ye Qing'an's condition, Ye Qinghao couldn't help but widen his eyes: "You... what happened to you? Where did you go?"
