Chapter 635 You Have Strength, I Have Brains
Ye Qing'an rushed back to the city magistrate's mansion and returned to the new house, but only entered the courtyard and did not go inside.
As soon as Liu Enze arrived, Ye Qing'an sensed his presence.
"Who is it?" Ye Qing'an turned around abruptly to look at the courtyard gate, her voice trembling slightly. "Who is it? Come out quickly, stop playing tricks!"
"Come out!" Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, her eyes filled with a hint of panic. "If you don't come out now, I'm going to use my spiritual power!"
“I am the Supreme Being. I have already sensed your presence. If you force me to use my spiritual power, you will surely die.”
Ye Qing'an's face appeared even paler under the glow of the red lanterns in the courtyard.
With her disheveled hair and red dress, she looked just like a ghost.
Ye Qing'an gritted her teeth, circled around the courtyard several times, looked around, and then raised her hand, quickly gathering a ball of spiritual energy in her hand.
"Come out now!"
His voice grew increasingly tense, and his body trembled slightly.
Just as the spirit energy ball was rising into the air, a person suddenly walked out of the courtyard gate.
"it's me."
Ye Qing'an hurriedly turned her head to look at him, then squinted at him for a long time: "Mr. Liu?"
"Hmm." Liu Enze nodded, his gaze also falling on Ye Qing'an: "Why are you still here?"
Ye Qing'an shook her head, biting her lip tightly: "I..."
“My legs were weak and I really couldn’t leave. But when I was in that room, I saw red everywhere – red silk, red candles, red lanterns, and even the blankets, pillows, and bed curtains on the bed were red. Blood… the blood was red too. I was scared.”
"So I went out of the house and into the yard."
"I..." Ye Qing'an seemed a little cold, shivering slightly before continuing, "I sensed with my spiritual power that there's no one around this courtyard. I'm afraid the rebels have all gone out to fight the enemy and are still in the city. I'm afraid if I act rashly, I might suddenly run into them, and then..."
"I... I might not be in good shape then, and I might not be a match for so many of them."
Ye Qing'an took a soft breath: "So I thought, since there's no one here, I might as well stay here and wait. If the master knows I'm here, he might send someone back to pick me up."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, she looked up at Liu Enze. Her expression was calmer, as if she was less afraid because of Liu Enze's appearance.
"Sir, what is the situation in the city?"
"Why is it that there is no one left in this city magistrate's mansion? Not only are the rebels gone, but the maids and servants, as well as the guests and wedding attendants from before, are all gone."
"I tried to sense it with my spiritual power several times, but even at the maximum range that my spiritual power can perceive, I did not find any trace of living people."
"Eleven more..." Ye Qing'an's gaze was intense: "Sir, have you returned? Have you already rescued Eleven?"
Liu Enze glanced at Ye Qing'an and shook his head: "I didn't see any other rebels in the city, nor did I find your child. You..."
Liu Enze remained silent for a moment, as if considering his words, before finally saying, "However, I did see the army of Siyou Kingdom, and their condition is quite good. I have already instructed the soldiers of Siyou Kingdom about the matter of the eleventh, and told them to keep an eye out when they search the city."
"But I don't know when we'll be able to finish searching the city. There's no use for the two of us staying in the city; we can't help the army much. Besides, we have to be wary of encountering the rebels. If we fall into their hands, it will only cause trouble for our army."
"Mm." Ye Qing'an nodded, her gaze fixed on Liu Enze, her eyes burning with fervor, seemingly filled with trust in him.
"So what should we do?"
Liu Enze had been waiting for Ye Qing'an to say this, so he lowered his eyes and continued, "We can first try to bring Yi Moxu's head back to the camp. And then..."
"Then we can wait for news in the camp. I have already instructed the army that if they see Eleven, they will surely send the message back to the camp as soon as possible."
Ye Qing'an bit her lip, turned her head to look at the bridal chamber behind her, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you, sir. But... how should we leave Anzhi City now?"
Liu Enze narrowed his eyes: "The rebels have installed many traps and hidden weapons in this city. We need to find a way to avoid them. You are a Supreme Being, so you should have a way to use Xuanling Technique to leave Anzhi City without triggering the traps, right?"
"Hidden weapons and traps?" Ye Qing'an frowned. "I... I don't know either. After all, I don't know what kind of hidden weapons and traps are in this city. But if it's just me, I can use anything I can, like finding a spirit weapon or a flying magical beast to tame, and use my spiritual power to drive the spirit weapon or the magical beast to take me away from Anzhi City. Or I could use my lightness skill, but I might need one or two places to land..."
"However, if we're going to bring the gentleman along..."
Ye Qing'an frowned: "Does the gentleman have a spirit beast? If the gentleman has a spirit beast, everything will be easy. I can take your spirit beast out, and then let your spirit beast use a summoning spell to summon the gentleman away."
Spirit beasts...
Liu Enze's hands, tucked into his sleeves, clenched slightly. The Night Demon Clan had no way to tame magical beasts, so naturally they wouldn't have any spirit beasts.
"No."
Ye Qing'an was taken aback: "Then this matter is a bit troublesome."
Liu Enze pursed his lips and took a deep breath: "I just took a walk around the city. The traps and hidden weapons in the city seem to be set up to target large armies. If there are only one or two people, they will not be triggered."
"We can travel together."
Liu Enze lowered his eyes: "I know Anzhi City very well from the map. You can also use your spiritual power to sense if there are people around. Let's try to avoid people and leave Anzhi City as quickly as possible."
"The most difficult part is probably the various parts of the city wall, but we can act according to the situation."
"You have the strength, and I have the brains. We're not afraid of being trapped here."
Ye Qing'an's lips curled slightly. She had the ability, and he had the brains?
Ye Qing'an pondered for a moment before nodding: "Okay."
Seeing that Ye Qing'an had agreed, Liu Enze's expression softened slightly: "Let's go."
Ye Qing'an nodded and quickly walked up to Liu Enze. When her gaze fell on the wooden box Liu Enze was carrying, her eyes flickered, as if she were a little scared.
Liu Enze took a look at Ye Qing'an and said, "He's just a dead man. What's there to be afraid of? Let's go..."
