Chapter 279 Personally Decided
Ye Qinghao remained silent for a long time. The butler also stood quietly to the side.
After a long while, Ye Qinghao finally looked up at the tightly closed window: "Is it still raining outside?"
"Yes, I'm here," the butler replied hastily. "It's still raining, and quite heavily at that."
Ye Qinghao nodded: "Where's Xu Mo? Is he in his own yard?"
"Yes, Doctor Xu is in his own courtyard. He should be resting by now, right?" The butler replied, then suddenly paused, looking up at Ye Qinghao. "Why did you suddenly ask about Doctor Xu, Master? Is it because you want to..."
Ye Qinghao listened to the sound of rain outside: "Ling Tianwang's injury can't be delayed any longer."
"If this drags on any longer, even if he recovers, he'll probably be crippled."
Ye Qinghao raised his chin: "Go, go to the outer courtyard and bring Xu Mo to me."
"Yes," the butler replied, then paused before adding, "Should we call someone in advance to have Lingwu Pavilion prepare, and also get the medicinal herbs ready?"
“No need.” Ye Qinghao twirled the jade thumb ring on his thumb. “I didn’t plan to take him to Lingwu Pavilion tonight.”
"Not taking Doctor Xu to Lingwu Pavilion? Then what does Master intend to do..."
Ye Qinghao narrowed his hawk-like eyes: "Although there are many rumors in the manor about Qing'an and Xu Mo, and they are all quite detailed, I can still guess about Qing'an's personality to some extent. She is not the kind of person who would casually sleep with someone. Even if they sometimes stay in Xu Mo's room for two or three hours at a time, I always feel that nothing has happened between Qing'an and Xu Mo."
"If Qing'an really didn't have anything happen with Xu Mo, I'm still a little uneasy about using Xu Mo."
Ye Qinghao placed his hand on the table: "Just as you said, Qing'an is a smart person. If Xu Mo has a relationship with her, and Xu Mo is also very good to Eleven, she will definitely try her best to keep Xu Mo by her side and in the Ye family. With Qing'an's looks and intelligence, it is not difficult for her to keep a man."
"so……"
Ye Qinghao paused for a moment: "Since it's uncertain, then... I'll personally confirm this matter."
"Master, you mean..."
Ye Qinghao pulled open the hidden cabinet in front of him, took out a piece of spice, threw it into the incense burner next to him, then took out a white jade bottle, took out a pill from it and ate it, and then threw the pill bottle to the steward.
The butler quickly took a pill and swallowed it...
Ye Qinghao took out another piece of spice and handed it over: "Go and tell the guards I gave Eleven earlier to find a way to light this spice and throw it into the young lady's room."
"Yes," the butler replied, bowed, and withdrew.
The sound of rain outside showed no signs of stopping. The sound of rain and the water, capable of washing away many traces, have always been a powerful tool for concealment. Ye Qinghao stood up, walked to the entrance of the main hall, and looked towards Ye Qing'an's courtyard...
In the dreamlike realm of clouds, Ye Qing'an was still unaware of Ye Qinghao's intentions. He was simply browsing through books in the library: "No wonder so many techniques have been lost. Those techniques were originally only recorded in a very few books. Over the long course of history, those books that recorded them gradually became rare copies."
"After becoming a rare copy, it was hidden in a secluded place like the Cloud Dream Realm. Even though the Cloud Dream Realm has always been in the hands of the Nine Yuan Supreme Body, not all Nine Yuan Supremes are interested in these techniques. Therefore, these techniques gradually disappeared."
Jiu Xiao was engrossed in flipping through a book on business when he heard Ye Qing'an say this. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "After all, the books in this library cover a wide range of fields, including scholars, farmers, artisans, merchants, and commerce; techniques, military strategies, power struggles, wealth, and knowledge. Because there are so many, techniques and such seem the least useful."
"After all, when it comes to magic, a few that you're good at and can use, combined with the supreme spiritual power of the Nine Yuan Supreme, are enough to dominate the world. Other than that, they're not very useful."
After Jiuxiao finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly realize something, his eyes widened, and he looked up from the book: "No way? You want to study law? Are you... alright?"
Jiu Xiao originally wanted to ask, "Is she alright in the head?"
But the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he swallowed them back. He put it another way: if he really dared to ask Ye Qing'an that question, asking if she had a problem with her mind, he would probably lose his life right here.
Ye Qing'an turned her head and glanced at Jiu Xiao. In that glance, it seemed as if she had seen through the words that he had swallowed back without saying a word.
Jiuxiao shuddered and coughed lightly: "What's wrong? Of all the books in this library, those about magic are the least useful. Some magic techniques haven't been passed down simply because they're impractical. You only need enough magic techniques; there's no need to learn so many. Learning too many won't make your spiritual power break through the limitations of your innate physique."
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "It's nothing. Why would I bother arguing with a spirit beast?"
"..." Jiuxiao was a little unhappy: "Are you looking down on me?"
“Yes.” Ye Qing’an nodded without hesitation: “Do you know what it is that can control everything in this world today?”
"It's money and power."
Ye Qing'an scoffed: "Money and power are indeed useful, but true strength is what crushes everything."
"If you are strong enough, then money, power, and everything else will be delivered to you."
"And..." Ye Qing'an said casually, "Even among the Nine Yuan Supremes, there are differences in strength. When spiritual power is equal, magic is definitely the key to victory."
"Furthermore..." Ye Qing'an glanced at Jiu Xiao: "I probably haven't told you that I lost a soul and a spirit in my previous life. In that previous life, I was a regent on another continent. I have everything I need to know, whether it's military strategy, political maneuvering, wealth, or experience. I've already learned everything I need to learn."
"I have learned most of these spells. Now, what I need to learn are some long-lost spells that I find useful."
"After magic techniques, I will not let go of any of those unique military strategies and tactics."
"..." Jiuxiao remained silent for a long time before lowering his voice and muttering, "So what if she's a regent?
He paused for a moment before adding, "It seems quite remarkable."
Just as Jiu Xiao was about to speak, he heard a slight noise: "Someone's outside? Yi Moxu?"
Before Jiu Xiao could finish speaking, he noticed that Ye Qing'an, who had been sitting there, had disappeared.
