Chapter 462 Fishing in troubled waters
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Qing'an's eyes lit up: "Look, here it comes!"
This commotion...
Curious, Shen Qingdai looked towards the outside of the tent, but the tent door was tightly closed and she couldn't see anything.
Ye Qing'an chuckled: "Go outside and peek. Something must have happened outside."
"Aren't you going, Miss?"
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "Eleventh is still in the camp. I'm really worried about leaving him here alone. Besides, I have a pretty good idea of what happened to Gu Hai, so it's fine not to go and see him."
Shen Qingdai paused: "Master has already guessed what happened to Gu Hai?"
Seeing her curious expression, Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly: "Yes, that sound just now, it sounded like something exploded. I bet, seven or eight out of ten times, it was Gu Hai secretly consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pearl..."
Shen Qingdai looked incredulous: "Gu Hai took the Heavenly Spirit Pearl?"
"This is just my guess. You can go out and take a look, find out some information, and see if my guess is right or wrong."
Shen Qingdai pondered for a moment, then simply nodded: "This subordinate will go out and take a look."
Shen Qingdai lifted the felt cloth covering the tent door, pushed the door open, and stepped out of the tent.
Ye Qing'an stood up, raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin from her hair, causing her hair to fall loose.
Outside the door came the soldiers' hurried cries of alarm: "Quick, quick, fetch water! Something seems to have exploded in General Gu's camp, and the tents are flooded!"
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly; it seemed her guess was probably true.
The tent where Ye Qing'an was staying was some distance away from the tent where Gu Hai was staying. About fifteen minutes after the end of the month, Qing Dai quickly lifted the blanket and entered the tent: "Miss is indeed a genius. It really is Gu Hai. Gu Hai took the Heavenly Spirit Pearl and died from his body exploding."
Ye Qing'an nodded and smiled. She had deliberately suggested that Gu Hai and He Yi escort the Heavenly Spirit Pearl back to Wangjing City early the next morning, hand it over to Yi Yun Kui, and have He Yi guard outside Gu Hai's camp, in order to force Gu Hai to make a choice as soon as possible.
Either send the Heavenly Spirit Pearl back to Wangjing City, or seize it for yourself as soon as possible and swallow it.
Gu Hai has always been a selfish person, so when faced with such a choice, he would naturally choose the latter.
What he didn't know was that the fact that the Holy Spirit Body could upgrade to the Supreme Being by consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pearl was, from beginning to end, just a lie she told.
"Many people from the camp have rushed over there, and the camp is gradually becoming chaotic. Miss, what do you think we should do?"
Ye Qing'an slightly curled her fingers, raised her hand, and cast a summoning spell.
With a flash, Jiuxiao suddenly appeared in the camp.
"Go to the military medical camp and find Yi Moxu."
Jiuxiao clicked his tongue, his figure changed, and he transformed into a tiny snake, disappearing in an instant.
"Yi Moxu?" Qingdai raised her eyes and stared intently at Ye Qing'an, her brows furrowing slightly.
If she remembered correctly, Yi Moxu was the name of the Prince Duan who had the accident six years ago.
Prince Duan was exiled to Qian'an after the incident six years ago.
However, what Ye Qing'an just said was indeed to go to the military medical camp to find Yi Moxu.
Yi Moxu...is he in the military medical camp?
Shen Qingdai suddenly remembered the military doctor who had treated Ye Qing'an before, and her eyes widened abruptly.
Is it possible...
Hearing Shen Qingdai's soft murmur, Ye Qing'an raised her eyes and slightly curled the corners of her mouth: "That's right, the military doctor you met before was Yi Moxu, the Yi Moxu you know."
Shen Qingdai's body and mind trembled slightly, firstly because of Yi Moxu's identity, and secondly because Ye Qing'an had actually guessed what she was thinking...
She asked herself, having trained in the Fire Glory Pavilion for so many years, she must have some ability to become the current person in charge of the Fire Glory Pavilion.
One of her skills is the ability to conceal her emotions.
However, Ye Qing'an immediately saw through what she was thinking, and this wasn't the first time.
Shen Qingdai's fingers twitched slightly. The longer she spent with Ye Qing'an, the more she felt that Ye Qing'an was very different from what she had previously learned about him.
Is it... a problem with the information from Huohuang Pavilion, or is Ye Qing'an just putting on an act all along?
It's probably the latter, after all, she had witnessed firsthand how Ye Qing'an had deceived Gu Hai and everyone else in the past two days...
Soon, the blanket was lifted, and Yi Moxu walked in from outside. He still had that inconspicuous face. Shen Qingdai looked up and glanced at him, but couldn't see anything special. Just as she was about to investigate, Yi Moxu looked at her.
That glance was utterly cold, sending a chill down Shen Qingdai's spine. She dared not look again and quickly lowered her head.
A military doctor could never have such a gaze, nor could he possibly possess such a deterrent force.
"You must already know that Gu Hai died after consuming the Heavenly Spirit Pearl. What are your plans now?"
When Yi Moxu looked at Ye Qing'an, the icy coldness in his eyes had long since dissipated, and his expression had softened considerably: "I came here mainly to accompany you and help you put on this show. What do you want to do?"
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up: "I want to keep it to watch the show."
"Then let's keep it to watch the show."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Your Taotie?"
"Let it escape tonight."
Ye Qing'an's smile deepened: "Fine, you harbored malicious intentions and seized the Heavenly Spirit Pearl for yourself. Moreover, you failed miserably, allowing the Taotie to escape. I'm afraid the Gu family will never have a chance to recover this time."
Yi Moxu nodded: "Although Gu Hai didn't have much real skill, he was ruthless and capable of anything for power and profit. I would never keep such a person alive. Now that he's dead, you've eliminated a future enemy for me."
Yi Moxu stared intently at Ye Qing'an: "Thank you, Miss Ye, for clearing away the obstacles for me and helping me succeed."
"For you?" Ye Qing'an felt her face flush under Yi Moxu's gaze. She snorted coldly and glanced at Yi Moxu: "Who did it for you? Shameless."
Yi Moxu just smiled and looked at her without saying a word. Ye Qing'an couldn't stand such a gaze, so she stood up and said, "Qingdai, you keep an eye on Eleven for me in the fog. I'm going out to see what's going on. With Gu Hai dead, this camp is probably in complete chaos. It's good that it's chaotic, because it will make it easier for others to fish in troubled waters."
As Ye Qing'an spoke, she walked to the door, lifted the felt blanket, and went out.
The camp was indeed in complete chaos. Soldiers were peeking around to check the situation, while others were carrying water and hurrying towards the main camp...
