Chapter 267 Extremely Good Luck
Granny Wei glanced at Ye Qing'an and said casually, "Miss really cares about Doctor Xu. Her expression changed as soon as she heard about him."
"Actually, it's not a big deal..."
Granny Wei paused for a moment: "Doesn't Doctor Xu always wear a mask? Plus, his heterochromatic eyes are quite rare, so there have been some rumors in the manor about Doctor Xu's appearance."
"Some people say that Doctor Xu looks too strange and has heterochromia, so he is an ominous person and can only wear a mask to cover his face."
"Some people say that Xu Yixiu may have been burned or had other wounds on his face that disfigured him, which is why he had to wear a mask."
"Even worse, some people say that Xu Yixiu is a wanted criminal who wears a mask just to avoid being tracked down."
Ye Qing'an chuckled and sat down in the chair, but did not say anything.
Seeing Ye Qing'an's expression, Granny Wei quickly said, "Those servants in the mansion are really too idle. All they do all day is gossip about these trivial things."
Ye Qing'an didn't seem to notice, but the servants said, "Although the servants might gossip quietly, Xu Mo has been in the manor for so long now, the gossip should have already been done by now. This sudden occurrence, and according to you, it seems like quite a few people are talking about it. I don't think this is a coincidence..."
"Does Miss feel that someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes? Who could it be?"
"Who else could it be?" Ye Qing'an scoffed. Such childish tactics could only come from Ye Weilan.
"From now on, you don't need to report such harmless and useless rumors to me."
"Huh?" Granny Wei was stunned for a moment before nodding, "Yes, yes."
After resting for a while, Ye Qing'an learned that Ye Qinghao had returned to the manor, so she went straight to the main courtyard, intending to strike first.
After Ye Qing'an recounted the events, Ye Qinghao frowned: "Water Qilin and the Seven Star Formation? How did you get out of that illusion?"
Ye Qing'an had already prepared her explanation: "After the Gu family terminated the spirit beast contract with the water unicorn, its spiritual power decreased and it lost its master. It was probably because it was disciplined by the Gu family a lot that the water unicorn obeyed anyone's orders."
"My daughter panicked and shouted 'Go away!' in a fluster, and to her surprise, the water unicorn actually walked away."
"Later, when the seven dancers attacked me, I felt that I was no match for them and tried to defeat them one by one. But after I severely injured one of the dancers with all my might, the other dancers inexplicably ran away."
"It was only after I escaped from that illusion that I learned that the dancers had set up the Seven Star Formation. Although I don't know what the Seven Star Formation is, judging from Miss Li's tone, it seems that it was extremely difficult for me to get out of that illusion."
After hearing Ye Qing'an's explanation, Ye Qinghao roughly guessed what was going on.
It was probably the dancer whom Ye Qing'an had randomly chosen to defeat one by one that happened to be the life gate of the Seven Star Formation.
"You're quite lucky."
"Not bad luck, huh?" Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips, and a sudden flash of inspiration struck her, giving her some ideas.
"My luck has indeed suddenly improved this year." Ye Qing'an chuckled: "Right after my nineteenth birthday at the beginning of the year, things suddenly got better. First, I met Doctor Xu, who repaired my dantian meridians, allowing me to cultivate. Later, by chance, I saved Consort Lan."
"After returning to the mansion, he escaped death several times and turned danger into safety."
Ye Qinghao glanced at Ye Qing'an, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "Where did you get that itchy powder that you used to teach Miss Li and Miss Gu a lesson?"
"It was given to me by Doctor Xu for self-defense." A faint blush appeared on Ye Qing'an's face. "He said that my spiritual power has not yet reached a certain stage, and if I encounter anything, I will not even have the power to fight back, so he got me some things for self-defense."
Ye Qing'an pulled out a bunch of various medicine packets and bottles from her sleeve: "These are all given to me by him, and their effects are all different. I used that itching powder in a moment of panic because I thought it would work just right. It wouldn't kill anyone and it would teach people a lesson."
Ye Qinghao's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an, but he remained silent.
He suddenly remembered that when Ye Qing'an first returned and entered the palace, Wei Lan had made a fool of herself in the palace because she was itchy all over.
Just now, for a fleeting moment, he did indeed suspect Ye Qing'an.
However, Xu Mo entered the manor after that incident, and Ye Qing'an did not buy any itching powder during that time, so she should not have lied.
Ye Qing'an had no power of her own in the Ye family mansion, nor did she have anyone she could rely on. Nothing she did could escape his notice…
Ye Qing'an frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes: "But my daughter was really angry earlier, making Miss Li look bad in public. I'm worried that, given Miss Li's personality, she won't let it go and will come to our door to cause trouble."
"What are you afraid of?" Ye Qinghao lowered his head and straightened his sleeves. "Li Siya was the one who started this whole thing. If you hadn't been lucky enough to escape from that illusion, your life would have been in danger. She intended to take your life, and you just taught her a small lesson."
"If she dares to call the Li family to cause trouble, then that's fine. We should settle accounts with her for colluding with Miss Gu to set up an illusion for you and use the water unicorn and the Seven Star Array to hurt you."
"You don't need to worry about this."
Hearing Ye Qinghao say this, Ye Qing'an finally breathed a long sigh of relief: "That's good."
Ye Qinghao's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an, and after a long silence, he said, "You handled this matter very well."
"Thank you for the compliment, Father." Ye Qing'an smiled happily. "Since Father says it's alright, then I'll head back now. I've been on tenterhooks the whole way, afraid that I might have caused you any trouble."
"Go."
Ye Qing'an took her leave and returned to her own courtyard. She went straight back to the Cloud Dream Realm and saw Jiu Xiao calling her over: "Go and find me a monk or Taoist priest who has some reputation in this city and can be bribed with silver."
"Looking for monks or Taoist priests?" Jiuxiao asked, somewhat bewildered. "What would you do with them?"
"What for?" Ye Qing'an curled the corners of his lips: "To have my fortune told."
