Chapter 108 Takes You to See a Play
Ye Qing'an was turning around to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write a letter when he heard this and stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
She turned around and looked at Eleven with disbelief: "What? A letter carried by a wild goose is a love letter? Who taught you that?"
"Nobody else." Eleven chuckled. "Isn't Ye Feiran's pageboy always telling him all sorts of nonsense stories? The other day, the pageboy was telling him a story about a poor scholar from a noble family, and they used wild geese to deliver love letters."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes and sneered, "Ye Feiran's page knows quite a lot."
Previously, she felt that although the pageboy was Liu Xueying's person, it would be good to keep him by Ye Feiran's side. She and Ye Feiran would pretend to quarrel and fight from time to time so that Ye Feiran would have the upper hand, and the pageboy could also send messages back to reassure Liu Xueying.
This made Liu Xueying believe that Ye Feiran still listened to her very much, still harbored great malice towards her, and wished she could get rid of her as soon as possible.
But now that she's heard what Eleven said, she has to think it over carefully.
If the pageboy was just instigating Ye Feiran to do things like fighting and bullying, that would be one thing. But if he also tried to corrupt Ye Feiran with some inappropriate stories, then she could not tolerate it.
Ye Qing'an sneered: "What that pageboy said was all nonsense he was teaching Ye Feiran. Don't believe a word he said. When you come back, you can tell me what she said to Ye Feiran and what kind of stories they read."
"Okay." He nodded at eleven o'clock: "Recently, he has been telling stories about talented scholars and beautiful women, heroes and beauties. He also told Ye Feiran that whether it is a talented scholar or a hero, there is a beautiful woman by his side. He said that many young men from noble families have personal maids who are mostly used as concubines in the future. He told Ye Feiran to keep an eye out and see if there are any maids he likes."
Ye Qing'an's eyes grew even colder: "Fine, I understand."
After writing the letter, Ye Qing'an handed it to Eleven and then led him out. Two of the four servants sent by Ye Qinghao were guarding the door. With them watching over him, Ye Qing'an felt at ease: "Young Master is ignorant. He accepted Xu Yixiu's jade abacus. I saw that the abacus was of excellent quality and was probably very valuable. I just scolded him and told him to return it to Xu Yixiu..."
"I still need to cultivate for a while, so I'll have to trouble you to take the young master there."
The servant quickly bowed his head and replied, "Don't worry, Miss, I will take the young master there right away."
Ye Qing'an nodded, watched as Eleven walked out dejectedly, then turned back into the house. Once inside, she went straight to the Cloud Dream Realm to cultivate.
During the period, he came back to report that the items had been delivered.
Ye Qing'an acknowledged and told him to go back to his room to rest, then returned to the Cloud Dream Realm to cultivate.
It was late at night when Ye Qing'an was cultivating when she heard Jiu Xiao, who had been guarding the alchemy furnace, speak up: "Someone has come to your courtyard again. There are spiritual energy fluctuations in the Cloud Dream Realm..."
Ye Qing'an opened her eyes, stood up, and straightened her clothes.
"Is it Xu Mo?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "I think so."
Jiu Xiao stared at Ye Qing'an speechlessly for a long while before sighing, "I think it's best to have as little contact with Xu Mo as possible. I really don't think he's a good person."
"Although I don't know how that face came about," Jiu Xiao raised his hand and touched his face, "it's even more beautiful than mine."
After Jiu Xiao finished speaking, his eyes widened: "You wouldn't have fallen in love with him because you were attracted by his looks, would you?"
Ye Qing'an was silent for a moment: "How much is a chicken leg?"
"It's not expensive, just twenty or thirty copper coins."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Go buy some chicken legs and stuff them in your mouth so you won't talk nonsense all day."
"..."
Jiuxiao was unconvinced and wanted to argue, but Ye Qing'an had already left the Dreamland of Clouds.
It really was Xu Mo.
Ye Qing'an frowned: "Didn't I make it clear in my letter? What are you doing here?"
Xu Mo did not wear a mask at night, and her beautiful face was particularly breathtaking under the moonlight.
Ye Qing'an suddenly remembered what Jiu Xiao had just said. Jiu Xiao was right; Xu Mo's face was indeed beautiful.
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and chuckled, though she knew that using the word "beautiful" to describe a man was rather inappropriate.
Xu Mo didn't know what Ye Qing'an was laughing about, and simply said, "I have already sent word to the palace about the things you asked me to arrange, and everything is in order. I came tonight to take you to see a play."
"A play?" Ye Qing'an asked, somewhat surprised. "What kind of play?"
Xu Mo went straight to the point: "How is your cultivation of the Mystic Spirit Technique going? Are you able to evade the guards of the Night Mansion?"
Ye Qing'an just looked at him quietly: "I've been cultivating the Profound Spirit Technique for at most a month."
Xu Mo was silent for a moment, then took two steps forward: "Excuse me."
Before Ye Qing'an could react, Xu Mo suddenly said something, and his arm was already being grabbed by him.
Ye Qing'an was taken aback and almost instinctively wanted to make a move, but Xu Mo's seemingly loose grip was actually quite strong.
Before Ye Qing'an could recover, Xu Mo made his move.
Ye Qing'an barely saw a phantom before she felt herself suspended in mid-air. Then, she saw countless pavilions and towers flashing past her eyes like fleeting shadows. In the blink of an eye, they had left the Ye residence.
Ye Qing'an was secretly alarmed. She had not sensed any spiritual power, yet Xu Mo had already left the Ye residence with her.
She didn't know what method Xu Mo had used, but it seemed that he had completely concealed her aura. The guards of the Ye Mansion were not weak, but they seemed to have not noticed them at all.
Ye Qing'an was greatly shocked. She had previously felt that the guards of the Ye family were quite strong, but Xu Mo was able to come and go freely, so his cultivation level must be quite high.
But now that I've experienced it for myself, I realize that this level of cultivation is probably not just high.
Ye Qing'an bit her lip, but a few doubts arose in her heart. With such strength and ability, it would not be difficult for her to become a person above others.
But why would he become Consort Lan's male favorite?
Why would he become a lowly retainer and physician in the Ye family in order to get closer to Consort Lan legitimately?
This is really quite illogical.
Even if Xu Mo became a male concubine because he truly loved Consort Lan, and even if he wanted to get close to Consort Lan, he didn't need to become a retainer of the Ye family at all.
He entered the Ye residence with a specific purpose in mind.
And this purpose is probably quite significant.
As Ye Qing'an was secretly guessing, she heard Xu Mo's deep voice beside her ear: "We've arrived."
