Chapter 457 Be careful
Gu Hai's eyes showed some panic, but as the head of one of the four great families, he had experienced a lot and quickly calmed down, his gaze falling on Ye Qing'an.
We must get Ye Qing'an away.
If Ye Qing'an were alive, his next plan would be difficult to carry out.
Gu Hai thought to himself, a look of anxiety appearing on his face: "If it were just an assassin's night raid, I would still be somewhat confident in killing all of them. But now, the magical beasts in the Magical Beast Forest are rampaging, and we don't even know what level those magical beasts are. If it's a high-level magical beast rampage, then we're probably doomed."
Gu Hai looked at Ye Qing'an: "Miss Ye, in our camp, the person with the highest level of Xuanling magic is none other than you. If there is anyone else who can stop these demonic beasts from getting close, it is none other than you, Miss Ye. After all, you are the one who subdued the Taotie."
"Miss Ye, could you do me this favor and stop the monsters from the Monster Forest from attacking our camp?"
Gu Hai said sincerely, "I still have to deal with these assassins."
“Of course.” Ye Qing’an narrowed her eyes. Gu Hai’s expression was too suspicious. She wondered what this old scoundrel was up to.
“General He!” Gu Hai turned to He Yi again: “The monster riot is a more serious matter than the assassin’s night raid. General He and Miss Ye are not strangers. Although Miss Ye is a Supreme Being, she is ultimately alone. If something happens to Miss Ye, I will not be able to explain it to Prime Minister Ye. Therefore, I can only trouble General He to lead troops to accompany Miss Ye to take a look.”
Gu Hai's gaze was deep: "I entrust Miss Ye's safety to General He. I urge you, General He, to protect Miss Ye. If the magical beasts are truly too much to handle, we will flee. You must ensure Miss Ye's safety."
He Yi stood silently to the side, and when Gu Hai gave the order, he didn't say anything, but simply cupped his hands in response: "Yes, I will definitely protect Miss Ye."
After He Yi finished speaking, he gestured to Ye Qing'an, "Miss Ye, please."
Ye Qing'an nodded and quickly walked out of the tent.
He Yi led his soldiers to follow behind her. After walking a distance, Ye Qing'an suddenly leaped up, and He Yi quickly followed.
A magical beast was rapidly approaching from a distance. Ye Qing'an raised her hand and waved it. A white, sharp light shot out into the distance. The light grew larger and larger, eventually carving a deep trench in the grass not far away.
The magical beasts stopped and cautiously approached the ravine.
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell into the distance: "General He, what do you think Gu Hai is planning?"
He Yi stood behind Ye Qing'an, his expression indifferent: "Heavenly Spirit Pearl."
Upon hearing He Yi's reply, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh: "General He is indeed a clever man. What do you think Gu Hai wanted to do by deliberately sending us away?"
It's not her fault; Gu Hai's actions were just too obvious.
Anyone who isn't an idiot could probably see that Gu Hai was intentionally trying to get her and He Yi away.
Gu Hai probably still thought he had done something flawless...
"I don't know."
Ye Qing'an turned her head. There was a moon tonight, and He Yi's face could be barely seen in the moonlight.
Ye Qing'an thought to herself, "He Yi is a good name."
This face, this appearance, certainly deserves the word "perseverance".
At this moment, He Yi's face was expressionless, and his eyes were calm and still, as if he really knew nothing.
"That day in the palace, I woke up under Consort Yun's bed and overheard the conversation between Consort Yun and General He. I wondered what kind of person General He really was..."
"Or rather, whose man is General He?"
"I've thought about it for a long time but I still can't figure it out. It seems that General He is only loyal to the Emperor. But perhaps it's because I'm a woman, but my sixth sense tells me that things are probably not that simple. Behind General He, there is someone who might surprise everyone."
He Yi finally turned his gaze to Ye Qing'an, but his expression remained largely unchanged: "I am the Emperor's personal bodyguard, so naturally I am loyal to the Emperor. If I were not loyal to the Emperor, why would the Emperor entrust me to his side?"
Ye Qing'an nodded, but then suddenly burst out laughing.
He Yi frowned slightly: "What are you laughing at?"
Ye Qing'an laughed even louder: "General He makes a lot of sense, but..."
"What I said just now was merely a test. If General He has nothing to hide, or if I'm wrong, why is General He so eager to explain? General He isn't the kind of person who cares so much about what others think."
He Yi's expression finally changed slightly, and his gaze darkened.
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of his lips, his expression relaxed, as if he were just chatting casually: "However, who is behind General He is not of much concern to me. As long as General He does not get in my way, I will naturally not say anything more."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he immediately changed the subject: "By the way, regarding the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, has General He sent someone back to Wangjing to report to the Emperor?"
"Hmm." He Yi seemed unwilling to say more.
"How did General He report this?"
"Report the truth."
Ye Qing'an laughed and nodded: "Alright."
Ye Qing'an's gaze fell on the magical beasts in the distance. Some of the magical beasts had already begun to try to cross the chasm that Ye Qing'an had created earlier. Ye Qing'an raised his hand and cast the Snow Condensation Technique.
Once the Snow Condensation spell was cast, the grass and trees on the ground, including the soil, gradually began to frost over, and soon a thin layer of ice formed on the ground.
Some magical beasts couldn't withstand the sudden chill; they shivered and took a few steps back.
He Yi didn't make a move from beginning to end, only his lips were tightly pursed: "These magical beasts are just low-level magical beasts. You could have just dealt with them directly."
“Monsters also have a life. It wasn’t easy for them to cultivate to this point. If they cultivate for a while longer, they will also be able to have spiritual power and do things for people.”
Ye Qing'an answered casually, then turned to look at He Yi: "I guess we'll get news after we've dealt with this place and gone back. Like... news that General He has been kidnapped, or that General He was assassinated and injured, or that the Heavenly Spirit Pearl has been stolen."
Ye Qing'an smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Shall we make a bet?"
He Yi glanced at Ye Qing'an but didn't reply.
But the look in his eyes as he looked at Ye Qing'an suddenly changed: "Be careful!"
