Chapter 136 Ninefold
After a long silence, no one spoke until Granny Wei broke the silence: "Yes, how come I didn't think of this? As soon as the young lady returned to the manor, all sorts of messy things happened. Isn't this all too coincidental?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "It is a bit too much of a coincidence."
Granny Wei stood to the side, her brows furrowed: "Who exactly wants to harm you, Miss?"
"I'd like to know too."
While Wei Mama was lost in thought, no one in the courtyard made a sound. After a while, Zixiao returned to the courtyard with her maid: "Reporting to Miss, it is Fourth Madam's courtyard that is on fire."
Ye Qing'an's mouth gaped slightly, her face filled with surprise: "Fourth Aunt's courtyard? How could Fourth Aunt's courtyard be flooded? Was anyone injured?"
"No one was injured, but the fire was quite large, and the entire household was alerted."
"I asked around and heard that the fire started in Fourth Madam's small kitchen. Apparently, Fourth Madam said she wanted to drink bamboo fungus and chicken soup early tomorrow morning, so the kitchen was simmering the soup overnight. I don't know how, but it suddenly caught fire."
Ye Qing'an curled her lips: "Drinking bamboo fungus and chicken soup so early in the morning? Fourth Aunt certainly knows how to enjoy life."
“Yes.” Zixiao lowered her head and lowered her voice: “Master also rushed over. After hearing what happened, he also gave Fourth Concubine a severe scolding and ordered Fourth Concubine to remove the small kitchen from her courtyard.”
Ye Qing'an picked up her teacup and took a sip of water, her expression somewhat nonchalant: "It's good that no one got hurt."
After a pause, he added casually, "The reason why there were bugs in Fei Ran's house yesterday was because my yard was unclean and bugs had bred there."
"So, the fire that started in her own yard tonight must be because she had a foul mouth, and Heaven couldn't stand it anymore, so it sent down heavenly fire as punishment?"
"The mansion is heavily guarded; surely no one could possibly break into her courtyard in the middle of the night and set it on fire?"
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she put down her teacup, stood up gracefully, and adjusted her cloak: "Since Father has been alarmed, the fire certainly won't have started. It should be almost out by now. I'm also a little sleepy. Let's pack up and go back to our rooms to rest."
"Yes," all the servants waiting in the courtyard responded.
Ye Qing'an stood up and went straight back into the house.
She slept soundly through the night. The next night, Qing'an returned from Mr. Lingjun's place and met Yi Moxu in the front yard.
Yi Moxu greeted Ye Qing'an and stood aside with his head bowed, waiting for Ye Qing'an to go first, appearing gentle and polite.
Ye Qing'an's fingers curled slightly; during the day, she acted all respectable in front of others.
Who would have thought that this person would be the famous Prince Duan?
Moreover, he had mastered the Fire Technique to the ninth level, and regarded human life as worthless.
Just as Ye Qing'an passed by him, Yi Moxu suddenly spoke up: "The fire last night, was it set by Miss Ye?"
Although Ye Qing'an knew that only the two of them could hear these words, she still subconsciously raised her head and looked around for a moment.
"What is Doctor Xu saying? Why can't I understand it?"
Yi Moxu curled the corners of his lips: "Fourth Aunt sent someone to say that there was a fire in her courtyard last night. She was frightened and has some heart palpitations. She asked me to go and take a look. I'm just about to go there now."
Ye Qing'an paused: "Is the medicine I asked for last night ready?"
"it is done."
Ye Qing'an clearly saw that Yi Moxu's lips curled up slightly, like a fox that had seen its prey take the bait.
Ye Qing'an gritted her teeth inwardly: "Since it's already done, then I'll trouble Doctor Xu to find an opportunity to give the medicine to Fourth Aunt."
"Although I could do this myself, if Doctor Xu could do it for me, I would save myself the trouble of making this trip."
Yi Moxu smiled and said, "Okay."
Old fox!
It's still a smiling fox.
Ye Qing'an didn't want to say anything more to him and was about to leave when he suddenly spoke again: "By the way, I've always gotten along very well with your Eleventh son, but I still don't know what his full name is."
What is the name of the Eleventh Prince?
Why did Yi Moxu suddenly ask this?
Although I found it strange, it wasn't something I needed to hide...
"Ye Jiuzhong, that is the name of the Eleventh Prince."
"Ninefold?" Yi Moxu seemed somewhat surprised, but after a long while, he suddenly burst out laughing: "Good, good, good, it really is a good name. Ninefold, this name is excellent."
Ye Qing'an found Yi Moxu's behavior increasingly strange: "How so?"
Yi Moxu gave Ye Qing'an a meaningful look: "It's a secret."
"..." Ye Qing'an gritted her teeth inwardly. If she had succeeded now, if she had a sword in her hand, she would definitely take the life of this fox.
It's now!
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath: "Thank you for the compliment, Physician Xu."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Yi Moxu stood there, watching Ye Qing'an walk away, chuckled softly, and murmured that name again: "Ninefold".
If Eleven's background is indeed as he suspected...
That day was indeed just right; it was the day he reached the ninth level of the Fire Separation Technique.
That was also the first time his Li Huo Eyes flared up.
What a coincidence that Ye Qing'an gave Eleven such a name!
Ye Qing'an returned to the courtyard and had just stepped outside the side room when she heard Ye Feiran's voice coming from inside.
"Your punch looks so weak, how could it kill someone?"
What's the point of learning a boxing style that can't kill people?
"Come here, I should be considered your uncle in terms of seniority, right? Your uncle will teach you how to cultivate the Mystic Spirit Technique."
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips, and the next moment, she heard Eleven's voice: "I'm afraid only you think you've mastered your Xuanling Technique well."
"..."
Ye Feiran seemed quite taken aback by the teasing, remaining silent for a long while before reluctantly letting out a hum: "Since we live in the same courtyard, why don't we cultivate together from now on? I'll definitely show you just how powerful I am."
"I'm afraid you'll become self-conscious and withdrawn."
Eleven's voice was very clear and crisp.
Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh. Ye Feiran was probably about to become withdrawn by now.
Ye Qing'an stepped into the courtyard: "Eleven, you can't talk like that, it's impolite."
Eleven stuck out her tongue, ran over quickly, and hugged Ye Qing'an's leg: "Mommy, you're back?"
Ye Feiran glanced at Ye Qing'an and reluctantly moved closer: "You're still going to cultivate with Ling Junxian... that old man Ling Junxian? Aren't you afraid he'll see you don't know anything and lie to you?"
"That would mean you could fool me."
"..." Ye Feiran was getting a little annoyed. So this meant he was easy to fool?
