Chapter 686 I've already recognized the butler.
Jiuxiao opened his mouth, but after a long while, he closed it again in dejection: "Alright, alright, I know. I knew it. The lives of us spirit beasts are worthless."
Just after Jiu Xiao was sent away by Ye Qing'an, Gu Duo arrived.
Seeing Gu Duo was not surprising to Ye Qing'an, after all, the water unicorn was Gu Duo's spirit beast, and the water unicorn would definitely tell Gu Duo what Jiu Xiao would report to her.
"The Water Kirin said they've already found the Night Demon Clan's territory?"
"We can't say we've found it yet; it's still uncertain." Ye Qing'an glanced at Gu Duo. "We only found an entrance to an illusion in the sea. The location of that entrance is quite strange and bizarre, so we guess that it's most likely the entrance to the Night Demon Clan's territory."
"So what are your plans now?" Gu Duo asked, his hand already gripping the hilt of his sword. Since it was most likely the Night Demon Clan's territory, there was no doubt about it.
"What I want is for Jiuxiao and the Water Qilin to go directly into that illusionary realm through the entrance, transform into their tiny original forms, and then swim in. There are definitely still quite a few Night Demons in that Night Demon Clan's territory. I don't know if there are any Night Demons inside who can use bewitching magic, but there are definitely quite a few Night Demons who can weave illusions."
"They are our spirit beasts. By transforming them into their original forms and going in, we are less likely to be discovered or alert the enemy."
"Then we won't go?" Gu Duo frowned immediately upon hearing Ye Qing'an's words.
"Let them go and find out what's going on inside first, so we can make arrangements. After all, if we don't know what's inside, rushing in would just be suicide."
Gu Duo immediately objected: "Sending me to my death? I don't believe anything could possibly trap me to death?"
Ye Qing'an wasn't surprised by Gu Duo's reaction, after all, Gu Duo had a deep obsession with certain things that happened ten years ago.
Ye Qing'an had no choice but to resort to a diversionary tactic: "Besides sending Jiu Xiao and the others to scout out the situation first, I've decided that we won't go for now. There's another plan and reason for that."
"what reason?"
Ye Qing'an curled the corners of her lips: "I plan to first explore the Siyou Kingdom's palace. I want to confirm whether there really is an underground palace within it. And whether the Yi Yun Kui you saw ten years ago, General Gu, was real or fake."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Gu Duo immediately said, "I want to go too."
Ye Qing'an's eyes lit up with a smile: "Go. That's perfect. I was just discussing with Yi Moxu that we need to split into several groups to infiltrate the Siyou Kingdom's palace from different places using different methods, so as not to be discovered and wiped out."
"If General Gu has a way to infiltrate the palace, he may act on his own. If he cannot think of any other way, he may come with us."
Gu Duo already felt that Yi Moxu and Ye Qing'an were too slow in their work, so he naturally didn't want to work with them: "I'll figure it out myself."
Ye Qing'an nodded: "Alright, let's agree on a code first, and then exchange the code after we enter the palace?"
After the three of them reached an agreement, Gu Duo left directly.
Yi Moxu hadn't said much until Gu Duo left, then he looked up at Ye Qing'an and said, "Aren't you afraid that if you let Gu Duo into the palace, his impulsive nature might alert the enemy?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her head, picked up the teacup on the table, her eyes full of calculation: "If he can successfully find out useful information, that would be best, but if he can't find out anything useful, it won't matter..."
"If he makes a move that alerts the enemy, or if he gets too excited and angry when he sees Yi Yun Kui and causes some trouble, that would be good. In that case, he can cover for us."
"We want to operate within the palace. Why not have someone distract Yi Yun Kui's attention for us?"
Yi Moxu glanced at Ye Qing'an and curled his lips: "Madam is really wicked, but I like her wickedness very much."
Ye Qing'an chuckled and stood up: "Before that, I'll have to trouble you, Lord, to find the fox that has broken into Anzhi City for me."
"Easy to say."
Yi Moxu agreed and acted very quickly. Before the night was over, someone brought a fox to Ye Qing'an.
The fox had already transformed back into its original form and was babbling incoherently, seemingly startled and somewhat frightened.
Ye Qing'an walked up to the fox, reached out and touched it. The fox seemed very scared, let out a loud cry, and struggled incessantly.
"Put it down."
The guards did indeed put the fox down, and as soon as they did, the fox began to dart around everywhere, moving extremely fast.
Ye Qing'an was quick to act; with a wave of his hand, a barrier was formed around the house.
With a "bang," the fox crashed right into the barrier.
The fox seemed a little dizzy from the impact, and its feet were unsteady. It just kept running around the house, looking extremely agitated.
Su Qian'an stood to the side, holding a cup of tea and watching with a smile on her face: "Butler, you don't need to put on such a show in front of me, do you? I've already recognized you, butler, you don't need to pretend to be just an ordinary fox that hasn't been enlightened. After all, ordinary foxes aren't this powerful."
"Butler, you don't need to think that I'm just talking nonsense and guessing randomly. Actually, I already knew that you were Ye Qinghao's spirit beast back when we were at the Ye residence."
"It's just that the steward was too careless when he was at the Ye residence. Perhaps it was because no one discovered your true identity during those many years at the Ye residence that you became somewhat negligent."
"I accidentally discovered that you disappeared after entering the house, and that's how I slowly discovered your true identity."
"I must say, the butler and Ye Qinghao's move was quite brilliant. It's a pity they ran into me."
The fox had been darting around aimlessly at first, but after Ye Qing'an finished speaking, it stopped and stood quietly watching Ye Qing'an from a short distance away.
Ye Qing'an's lips curled up slightly: "Didn't the steward come to find Ye Qinghao? Didn't the steward come to keep Ye Qinghao alive? Only if Ye Qinghao lives can you live well, right?"
"If that's the case, then the butler shouldn't treat me like this anymore. With you like this, I didn't even know how to start negotiating with you."
As soon as Ye Qing'an finished speaking, a white light suddenly emanated from the fox, and then the butler's very familiar face appeared in the spot where the fox had just been standing.
