Chapter 329 Negotiating Conditions
Ye Qing'an wasn't particularly surprised: "Ye Qinghao originally wanted to take Yi Moxu to see the head of Lingwu Pavilion for treatment yesterday, but because of what happened last night, it didn't happen. Ye Qinghao must be getting impatient."
Judging from Ye Qinghao's desperate attempts, even resorting to aphrodisiacs to force her and Yi Moxu to have a relationship, the current situation of the Lingwu Pavilion Master is probably dire.
"Although Yi Moxu may have practiced the Dao of Medicine to pass the time after reaching the ninth level of the Fire Release Technique, the Dao of Medicine is, after all, an independent system of Daoist arts. He only practiced it for a short time, so it's impossible for him to truly reach the level of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones..."
"Since the Pavilion Master of Lingwu Pavilion is seriously injured, and both Ye Qinghao and the Pavilion Master of Lingwu Pavilion must have tried every possible method and consulted many medical practitioners. So many people were helpless with this illness, do you think that Yi Moxu, who is a self-taught practitioner, can cure it?"
Ye Qing'an showed no concern whatsoever, not even moving an inch: "I believe him."
"Isn't your belief a bit too blind?"
Ye Qing'an couldn't help but lower her eyes and laugh out loud: "It is a bit blind, but what I blindly believe in is not Yi Moxu's medical skills."
"Not medical skills?" Jiu Xiao looked blankly at Ye Qing'an. "Ye Qinghao took Yi Moxu there to save the life of the Lingwu Pavilion Master. You don't believe in his medical skills, so you say you believe in him? What do you believe in him for?"
Jiuxiao was genuinely confused: "Come on, tell me what you're thinking. I don't know if it's because I'm a magical beast and not as smart as you humans, or if you really aren't human."
Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao and said, "I believe that even if Yi Moxu's medical skills are not enough to heal the Lingwu Pavilion Master's injuries, he is certainly capable of turning black into white and saying that his poor medical skills are that the Lingwu Pavilion Master is beyond saving and destined to die."
"..." Jiu Xiao fell silent. After thinking about it for a long time, he had to admit that Ye Qing'an's words were absolutely correct.
"Do you humans all deceive and cheat on each other like this? There's no trust between people at all."
Ye Qing'an closed his eyes again, seemingly preparing to continue his cultivation: "Human progress, the rise and fall of dynasties, and the emergence of various inventions all rely on mutual scheming and deception. Once there is no more scheming and deception between people, human society will come to a complete standstill."
Jiu Xiao opened his mouth, feeling that there was something wrong with Ye Qing'an's words, but after thinking for a long time, he could not find any words to refute them.
Jiuxiao took a deep breath before remembering another important matter: "You asked me to find out the whereabouts of the Heavenly Spirit Pearl. I got some information from Lanqing."
"Lan Qing?" Ye Qing'an opened her eyes and then remembered that Lan Qing was the madam of the brothel called Cuiwei Tower that she had bought.
Where is the Heavenly Spirit Pearl?
"In recent years, the only news about the Heavenly Spirit Pearl has come from the Gu family."
Ye Qing'an frowned: "I naturally know about that Heavenly Spirit Pearl. It's the one that Gu Duo ate and directly rose to the Supreme level, right?"
Jiuxiao shook his head: "No, when Gu Duo ate that Heavenly Spirit Pearl, he hadn't returned to the Gu family yet. The Heavenly Spirit Pearl of the Gu family has always been there."
"I heard that back then, the old master of the Gu family had someone tell his fortune. The fortune teller said that the Gu family would produce a Supreme Being. The old master was overjoyed and thought that if he could obtain a Supreme Being, the fastest way to make the Supreme Being play his role would naturally be to use the Heavenly Spirit Pearl."
"So, he tried every means to obtain a Heavenly Spirit Pearl, which he treasured and kept hidden in the Gu family. However, he never expected that the Gu family did indeed produce a Supreme Being, but it was Gu Duo who had been living away from home. Moreover, Gu Duo had already become a Supreme Being before returning to the Gu family."
"That Heavenly Spirit Pearl became useless, but no one knows what the Gu family did with it afterward. However, most rumors say that the Heavenly Spirit Pearl is still with the Gu family."
"After all these years, no new Supreme Being has appeared, so the Heavenly Spirit Pearl must still be unused. There's also no news of the Heavenly Spirit Pearl circulating in the martial world..."
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. The Gu family, huh?
What a coincidence!
Upon seeing Ye Qing'an's expression, Jiu Xiao immediately understood: "You want to go to the Gu family? That's not very realistic, is it? Although the Gu family has indeed declined in recent years, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. The Gu family is a century-old family, and the security in their mansion is extremely tight. With your current cultivation level, it seems unlikely that you can quietly break into the Gu mansion to steal something, especially the extremely valuable Heavenly Spirit Pearl."
Ye Qing'an just stared at him intently.
This look...
Jiu Xiao felt a sense of foreboding. He remembered the same look Ye Qing'an had given him when she tricked him into going to Liu Xueying to gather information and steal things.
Jiuxiao jumped up and down: "Liu Xueying and Ye Weilan are both in our household. I know the Ye family quite well, so it's possible for me to do it. But the Gu family is absolutely impossible. Impossible, absolutely impossible. If I go, even if I manage to get in by chance, I probably won't come out alive."
A sly glint flashed in Ye Qing'an's eyes: "I won't ask you to force your way in."
"What do you mean by 'not going to force your way in'? It means I won't go, and it's impossible for me to go. It doesn't mean I won't force my way in."
Ye Qing'an merely curled the corners of her lips: "I remember, Gu Duo's water unicorn was still in the Gu family mansion, and was used by the Gu family like an ordinary beast."
Jiuxiao was taken aback: "What do you want to do?"
"You are an ancient magical beast, and so is it. Last time, you resolved my crisis by talking to it, and I believe you can do it this time too."
“You can stay outside the Gu family and then use the voice of a magical beast to send a message to the water unicorn, instructing it to do this.”
"The Water Qilin has been staying in the Gu family mansion for many years, and the Gu family has become accustomed to its presence. However, they have no idea how powerful the Water Qilin is. If we can make good use of it and negotiate with the Water Qilin to make it steal the Heavenly Spirit Pearl, it is not impossible."
Jiuxiao frowned, his whole body filled with resistance: "Impossible. You're negotiating with the Water Qilin? What kind of conditions? What conditions can you offer to make the Water Qilin work for you?"
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "What if I told it that as long as it gets things done, I could take it to its owner?"
