Chapter 184: Threatening your son?
Before the ice sword could pierce the Night Demon's brow, Ye Qing'an saw the surrounding illusion tremble violently, and then, as if collapsing, it cracked and collapsed bit by bit.
That night, Mei suddenly opened her eyes wide, staring at everything that was happening before her, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"How could this be? My illusion! Why did my illusion collapse?"
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised. Judging from Ye Mei's reaction, the collapse of this illusion seemed to be beyond his expectations.
Ye Qing'an's ice sword did not fall in the end; instead, he tightly gripped the Night Demon's neck with his hand.
Soon, the illusion completely collapsed.
What appeared before Ye Qing'an was the garden of the Ye residence.
It should be a secluded corner of the garden, and Ye Qing'an had no recollection of this place.
Ye Qing'an looked up and saw Yi Moxu and Jiu Xiao standing in front of her.
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow. "Is it Yi Moxu?"
Yi Moxu had already seen the situation before him, and only raised an eyebrow slightly: "It seems that even if I hadn't come, you would have resolved it soon."
"Hmm," Ye Qing'an responded, her face expressionless.
"I was originally planning to kill this Night Demon, but since you're here, I might as well hand her over to you. You can use her for interrogation or for your own purposes, it's up to you."
"Consider it as repaying a favor to you."
Yi Moxu chuckled lightly: "Is this all you're going to do me a favor for?"
"Don't look down on this ugly thing." Ye Qing'an glanced at the silent Night Demon: "Although it is ugly, it is still somewhat useful for weaving illusions."
"Row."
Yi Moxu responded, and then two people dressed in black and wearing masks suddenly appeared and took Ye Mei away.
Ye Qing'an stood up and took a deep breath. Although this place was not to her liking, after walking through that illusion, she suddenly found this small Ye residence much more pleasing to the eye.
"How did you manage to destroy that Nightshade's illusion?"
Actually, when Jiuxiao couldn't break through the barrier, Ye Qing'an sent Jiuxiao to find Yi Moxu, just as a last resort.
After all, among the people she knew and could trust, only Yi Moxu was the most likely to rescue her.
Unexpectedly, she actually guessed right.
Even without Yi Moxu's rescue, she should have been able to leave soon.
"In the face of true strength, everything weaker than me is nothing but a paper tiger."
"..." Ye Qing'an rolled her eyes: "Fine."
Yi Moxu's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "You seem to have caused quite a bit of trouble lately."
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "It's not that I've caused a lot of trouble, it's just that there are always people trying to get close to me and cause me trouble."
Yi Moxu chuckled but remained silent.
"But what is the Prince trying to do, going around trying to win over the Eleventh Prince and sending all sorts of things to my courtyard?"
"It's not to please you, don't worry." Yi Moxu's face was expressionless: "I just like Eleven more. Considering that you are Eleven's mother and that you have worked hard to raise Eleven for so many years, I'm giving you some compensation."
"Ok?"
Ye Qing'an's face was full of doubt. Should she compensate her for raising Eleven?
That sounds really strange.
"Eleven is my child."
Ye Qing'an felt that she had to emphasize her identity.
"Yes, I know." Yi Moxu remained completely unmoved: "If you weren't Eleven's mother, do you think I would care about you?"
"..."
"Moreover, this way, everyone in the manor will know that I am in love with you."
Ye Qing'an rolled her eyes. So, he was in love with her?
Ye Qing'an didn't dwell on it for long, only glancing at Yi Moxu indifferently: "Don't teach Eleven any nonsense just because you're close to her."
"You just said that I am Eleven's mother. If I tell Eleven not to look for you anymore, who do you think he will listen to?"
Yi Moxu paused, turned around and looked at Ye Qing'an: "Are you planning to use your child as leverage?"
"Why would I use my child to blackmail you? You're not the child's father, and you're nobody to him."
Ye Qing'an's face was completely nonchalant: "I still have things to do, so I won't see you off any further. If Ye Mei has given any instructions, you can send someone to inform me."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she called Jiu Xiao over and went straight to a quiet place to return to the Cloud Dreamland.
Seeing Ye Qing'an sitting in the Cloud Dreamland, preparing to begin meditation and cultivation, Jiu Xiao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "You suddenly disappeared from the back garden, and your maids and the people in your courtyard are going crazy with worry. Aren't you going to go out and show yourself to appease them?"
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips: "The more critical the moment, the less I should go out. Go and bring Eleven to me."
She had already made plans while in the illusion, intending to feign disappearance and observe the reactions of everyone in the mansion.
But Eleven is her child. Although she felt that not telling him might allow him to act more authentically, she couldn't bear to let Eleven go through all this.
Furthermore, Eleven had handled the rabbit matter very well, so she felt that even if she explained things clearly, Eleven wouldn't reveal anything.
Jiuxiao quickly called Eleven over. As soon as Eleven entered and saw Ye Qing'an, she rushed towards her, crying, "Mother..."
Ye Qing'an reached out and caught it.
After confirming that the person in front of him was indeed his mother, Shiyi breathed a sigh of relief: "They all said that Mother had disappeared, which almost scared me to death."
Ye Qing'an laughed: "I almost went missing. Someone in this manor wanted to harm me, so I decided to hide in this Cloud Dreamland for a few days to see who was behind it."
Eleven was somewhat puzzled: "Can Mother catch the murderer if she stays in here?"
"Just observe who is the happiest and least surprised after my disappearance, and you'll get a general idea."
"But during this period, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard and put on a show."
When Eleven heard that there was something he could do, he was overjoyed and patted his chest, saying, "Mother, don't worry, leave this to me. I will definitely put on a good show."
After confirming that Ye Qing'an was unharmed, Shiyi prepared to leave: "Everyone in the courtyard has gone out to look for Mother. I can't stay here for too long, or it will arouse suspicion."
“Okay.” Ye Qing’an nodded gently. “Go ahead. Be careful during this time and take good care of yourself. I will also have Jiu Xiao by your side to protect you…”
"be careful."
"it is good."
