Chapter 379 Why Not Give It a Try?
"Rumor has it that the Gu family possesses a Heavenly Spirit Pearl, but no one has ever said that the Gu family only has one Heavenly Spirit Pearl."
"Huh?" Jiu Xiao opened his mouth wide in surprise, and after a long while nodded: "That seems to make sense. It seems that no one has ever said that the Gu family only has one Heavenly Spirit Pearl."
"But according to common sense, shouldn't something like the Heavenly Spirit Pearl be something that can only be encountered by chance and is usually only one in existence?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Most people probably think that way, but that may not be the case."
"So what do you plan to do?" Jiu Xiao frowned. "Find someone who knows about the Heavenly Spirit Pearl and ask them?"
"But there probably aren't many people who recognize the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, right?"
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Indeed, there aren't many, but I happen to know one."
"Who?"
"Gu Duo."
Jiuxiao was even more astonished: "Gu Duo? Are you crazy? Gu Duo has become an idiot now. Do you think he can still recognize the Heavenly Spirit Pearl?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "Why not give it a try?"
"Gu Duo was taken away by Yi Moxu, right? Do you know where Yi Moxu took Gu Duo?"
"know."
Jiu Xiao was slightly relieved: "It's good that you know. If it's not too far, we can go and see Gu Duo. Anyway, we might as well try anything."
"And now that we've already got what we need, there's nothing to be afraid of."
Speaking of getting the item, Jiu Xiao chuckled: "To be honest, I really didn't expect that stealing this Heavenly Spirit Pearl from the Gu family would be so easy."
Ye Qing'an showed no emotion on his face, only nodding casually: "The people of the Gu family are too unguarded. Most of them probably didn't expect that someone would be so bold."
"No, that's not true." Jiuxiao snorted softly, "It's not that no one is bold enough, it's just that no one has such good conditions as you. You have me to help you get the human skin mask and to plan all of this for you. Moreover, you have this Cloud Dreamland, which allows you to sneak in quietly after you've stolen something."
"You wouldn't believe it, but when they first found out that someone understood Gu Hai's things, the guards did react, but probably because they were so familiar with the barriers and restrictions in Gu Hai's courtyard, their reaction wasn't very strong. It wasn't until later, when they saw that there was no one inside, that they really panicked."
"The Gu family mansion is in complete chaos right now."
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an responded, not really caring. After all, she had the goods, and what the state of the Gu family and Luancheng was, what did it have to do with her?
Jiuxiao, still buzzing with excitement, continued muttering, "You said you were going to find Gu Duo to take a closer look. When are you planning to go? Are you leaving tonight?"
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "It's getting late, there's no need to rush. As you said, the things are already in my hands, so there's no need to rush."
"What time is it outside?" Jiu Xiao hurriedly went to the library inside to check the time for Ye Qing'an: "3:45 AM."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Then you can go out and have some fun by yourself, or go keep an eye on things with Lan Qing. I'll cultivate for a while longer."
"Tsk." Jiu Xiao glanced at Ye Qing'an: "Still cultivating? But you've already obtained the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, haven't you? Whether you cultivate now or not, you can still directly advance to the Supreme Realm after consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, so why bother with all this trouble?"
After Jiuxiao finished speaking, he remembered something else: "However, even if you eat the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, you still need to break through all the mental demon illusions in each stage of the upgrade in order to upgrade smoothly. Seeing your situation when you broke through the mental demon illusions before, I was really worried for you. I was worried that even if you ate the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, you would not be able to upgrade to the Supreme level smoothly."
Before Jiu Xiao could finish speaking, he saw Ye Qing'an glance at him lightly. Although it was just a glance, Jiu Xiao could see the killing intent in that seemingly insignificant look.
Jiuxiao coughed lightly: "Yes, I believe you. It's just a mental demon illusion, right? You'll definitely be able to overcome it quickly and smoothly and ascend successfully."
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Qing'an to speak, he quickly fled for his life.
Ye Qing'an stood silently for a while, then tidied up the things she had brought from the Gu residence and put them in the library. Afterwards, she took out a cultivation book and began to read it.
……
The next morning, Ye Qing'an left the Dreamland of Clouds. As soon as she stepped outside, she was met with unfamiliar sights. Ye Qing'an suddenly realized that she was in the Yihe Palace.
Ye Qing'an stepped out, and there were palace servants waiting at the door. When they saw Ye Qing'an come out, they quickly greeted her: "Miss Ye."
Has the Imperial Concubine risen?
The palace maid quickly replied, "They've already gotten up and are collecting flower dew in the courtyard."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "I'll go out and take a look."
Consort Lan was indeed in the courtyard, holding a small bottle and collecting morning dew from the flowers.
As if hearing the voice, Consort Lan turned her head and looked at Ye Qing'an: "Is it done?"
"Yes."
Consort Lan lowered her eyes and chuckled: "Last night at dinner, I thought you hadn't finished eating yet, so I asked Rouxi to invite you, but I found you weren't there."
"When I heard Rouxi report this, I was quite worried for a while. I was thinking, what should I do? Have I lost Miss Ye?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes and smiled: "Your Highness is teasing me again."
Consort Lan chuckled, handed the bottle in her hand to the maid beside her, and stepped out from the flower bushes: "Are you hungry? I've already had food and snacks prepared. Come on, let's eat first."
"it is good."
Ye Qing'an followed Consort Lan into the palace, washed her hands, and waited for Consort Lan to sit down before she sat down herself.
Consort Lan had been observing Ye Qing'an's words and actions. After the two had finished their meal, Consort Lan spoke up: "I noticed that your knowledge of palace etiquette and manners is no less than that of the princesses trained in the palace. Did you have it specially studied before?"
Ye Qing'an paused slightly with her fingers. Of course, she had studied it before. She was born and raised in the palace, so she was very familiar with the palace rules.
"Yes." Ye Qing'an nodded: "When Mother was still alive, she taught me a lot of things, such as palace rules and etiquette, bookkeeping, needlework and embroidery..."
"It's just a pity that my mother passed away too early. I was young at the time and didn't know why I had to learn so many things, so I didn't learn them well."
Consort Lan, recalling Ye Qing'an's background and past experiences, couldn't help but sigh: "Your mother was truly a peerless beauty back then, it's just a pity..."
"Alright, that's enough." Consort Lan waved her hand. "I heard from the palace servants that the Ye family has been waiting at the palace gate since early this morning. Are you preparing to leave the palace now?"
"Hmm." Ye Qing'an nodded: "Something happened at the manor, I need to go back and deal with it."
