What exactly happened in Chapter 469?
Yi Moxu stayed with Ye Qing'an in the Dreamland of Clouds for a while before leaving.
I made a lot of noise during the National Day holiday, and then I went to sleep.
Ye Qing'an meditated and cultivated in the Cloud Dream Realm, and it was unknown how much time had passed before Jiu Xiao returned.
Jiu Xiao peeked around cautiously before clearing his throat and asking, "Has Yi Moxu already left?"
"Ah."
Hearing Ye Qing'an's reply, Jiu Xiao was slightly relieved and straightened his chest as he entered the library where Ye Qing'an was: "After I went to the Ye residence to arrange everything, I hid in your carriage and secretly observed for a while. He Yi has been sending people to search for your whereabouts in the surrounding area. The place where you stopped was almost dug up by him."
“Of course I need to. My status is different now, and even if it's just for show, He Yi has to do it for everyone to see. I disappeared suddenly in front of everyone, and he did his best to find me, so we can't blame him.”
Ye Qing'an withdrew her spiritual power, stood up, and put the book back on the bookshelf: "What time is it?"
“It’s almost dawn. More than three hours have passed since you went missing.”
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Three hours or so should be about right."
Ye Qing'an turned her head: "Get ready. You come with me. When I leave the Cloud Dream Realm, you go out and make proper arrangements for Liu Xueying's body. Liu Xueying's body was frozen in ice for too long. Think of a way to prevent anyone from noticing anything. For example... burn it, or dismember it."
Jiuxiao shuddered and took a deep breath: "Can we use a less bloody method? I'm more merciful."
"To be kind to your enemies is to be cruel to yourself."
Ye Qing'an beckoned with her finger and a smile played on her lips: "You can use any method you want, even if it's less bloody. However... if anyone notices something amiss and becomes suspicious, then you might be the one who gets burned, torn to pieces, and skinned alive."
"..."
Afraid.
Jiuxiao wanted to cry. Were those Nine Yuan Supremes this cruel before?
Heavens above, what did he do wrong to deserve such a master?
Ye Qing'an didn't look at him, but walked to the bronze mirror, carefully looked at her face, and then turned to look at Jiu Xiao: "Go and get me some rouge and face powder."
"Oh."
After leaving the Cloud Dream Realm, Jiu Xiao quickly went to Ye Qing'an's room to retrieve what Ye Qing'an had asked for. Ye Qing'an carefully applied a pale mask to her face and lips before straightening up: "Let's go."
Although a night had passed, He Yi was still leading his men to search carefully for Ye Qing'an's whereabouts. He gathered all the soldiers in one place and examined them carefully to see if Ye Qing'an might be hiding among them.
As He Yi was checking them one by one, someone suddenly exclaimed, "Look over there!"
Everyone looked towards the carriage, and then they saw Ye Qing'an appear out of thin air beside it, just as she had disappeared before, without any warning...
Ye Qing'an's face was pale, and she staggered, almost falling to the ground.
Ye Qing'an seemed to subconsciously grab the carriage shaft, barely managing to steady herself, but she was still panting heavily, trying to calm herself down.
Qingdai, who was inside the carriage, seemed to hear the noise. She lifted the carriage curtain and peeked out. Upon seeing Ye Qing'an, Qingdai's eyes widened. She hurriedly got off the carriage and helped Ye Qing'an up: "Miss? Miss, you're back? Are you alright?"
Ye Qing'an closed her eyes, shook her head, and after a long while opened them. Her expression was a mixture of sadness and joy, and tears seemed to roll down her cheeks uncontrollably.
"Miss, what's wrong with you? Should I call a doctor to take a look?"
Ye Qing'an shook her head, raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face, but then smiled: "It's okay, I just... I just thought I would never be able to come back."
"Miss, where have you been? You suddenly disappeared last night, and we were so worried about you."
He Yi quickly walked up to Ye Qing'an: "Miss Ye, what exactly happened last night? Could you please tell me?"
Eleven seemed to have been awakened by the commotion outside. She quickly crawled out of the carriage, still a little sleepy, but rushed towards Ye Qing'an: "Mother, Mother! Are you alright? You scared Eleven to death."
Eleven shouted and then burst into tears.
He Yi frowned slightly, but stood to the side, pursing his lips and remaining silent.
Ye Qing'an looked somewhat apologetic, and simply raised her hand to pat Eleven's head: "I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you."
"Alright, alright, stop crying. General He is still waiting for me."
Eleven snuggled against Ye Qing'an and said, "I don't care."
After saying that, she turned her head and glared at He Yi: "My mother just got back, what's your rush? Can't you see how pale my mother's face is?"
Ye Qing'an chuckled, "Alright, I'm fine, I'm fine now."
Ye Qing'an looked helpless and glanced at Qingdai: "Take Eleven to wash up. Look at her face, she looks like a little kitten from crying."
Qingdai quickly stepped forward and picked up Shiyi.
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath and looked up at He Yi: "I'm sorry to have troubled General He."
He Yi pursed his lips: "Last night, Miss Ye suddenly disappeared in front of many people. I wonder what happened?"
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and tidied her slightly messy hair: "It's Ye Mei's illusion."
"As expected." He Yi frowned. "I heard that Miss Ye was also once trapped in the illusion of Night Enchantress?"
Ye Qing'an nodded, remained silent for a moment, and then sighed softly: "Actually, this is just a private matter of the Ye family, a struggle within a noble family's residence. I was only able to escape Ye Mei's illusion alive last time by sheer luck. I just didn't expect that she would dare to scheme against me a second time."
“Probably…” Ye Qing paused, a cold glint in his eyes, “Probably because the news of my upgrade to a Supreme Being has spread. She feels that if I return to the manor, it will definitely affect her interests and status in the manor, so she cannot allow me to return to Wangjing City.”
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "Now that I'm out, this score must be settled."
"This matter has nothing to do with General He, and I am truly sorry for causing him worry. I owe General He a favor, which I will definitely repay in the future."
Since Ye Qing'an insisted it was a private matter, He Yi saw no need to press further. He simply pursed his lips and asked, "Miss Ye, are you injured? Are you able to continue your journey?"
"Yes, I'm fine."
"That's good." He Yi nodded. "Then we'll set off according to the original plan. If Miss Ye is too tired, she can rest in the carriage."
