“He is only sixteen years old, and his age is not far from that of Shihua, Shiyu, and Qiqi. They can interact with Ye Wushuang more often,” Qing Muyuan said with a chuckle.

“Your Majesty…” Qing Shanya’s expression was one of astonishment.

Qing Muyuan’s words were clear in their meaning. If any of Qing Shihua, Qing Shiyu, or Mu Qiqi were to form a deep bond with Ye Wushuang and reach a successful conclusion, then Ye Wushuang would essentially become part of the royal family. Qing Muyuan was clearly trying to recruit him!

“Him? Is he really worth it?” Qing Shanya was puzzled. Even when Ye Wushuang had claimed he could cure Mu Junli earlier, the emperor hadn’t paid much attention to him, merely leaving the matter to Qing Mengli. But now, he seemed so interested in Ye Wushuang!

“He is worth it!” Qing Muyuan walked to the entrance of the hall and said slowly, “The sky of the Qingyun Empire is about to change!”

***

Mu Qiqi and Qing Shiyu escorted Ye Wushuang out of the palace. Along the way, the eunuchs and maids in the palace bowed respectfully to them.

“Ye Wushuang!” Qing Shiyu finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “What exactly happened? Tell us!”

Mu Qiqi also looked curious.

Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “The old emperor thinks I have extraordinary talent, even more impressive and terrifying than Ye Wentian back in the day. He believes I will become a divine being in the future and wants to ingratiate himself with me by offering you princesses and the like…”

“Stop right there.” Qing Shiyu looked disdainful. “Speak in plain language.”

“What I said is plain language. Otherwise, how would you understand it?”

“…”

Mu Qiqi then asked, “What really happened? I feel like the emperor seems to be wary of you.”

“He indeed should be wary of me,” Ye Wushuang replied. “But that’s not a good thing,” Mu Qiqi immediately said. “If the emperor is wary of you, you might lose your life at any moment.”

Qing Shiyu chimed in, “Yeah, yeah. Don’t look at my father’s high position and great power; he is still very respectful to Uncle Emperor…”

“Ye Wushuang, you have to be more careful from now on.”

Ye Wushuang looked at the two and smiled helplessly. “Don’t worry. Your emperor won’t make a move against me.”

The three of them left the palace together, and Ye Wushuang returned to the Ye Mansion. Seeing Ye Wushuang come back safely, Liu Yuemei, Ye Qingfeng, He Bo, and Ye Feifei all breathed a sigh of relief. Mu Qiqi and Qing Shiyu didn’t stay long and left shortly after.

He Bo then took Ye Wushuang to the backyard. “My lord.”

Wang Pengyuan, Xu Wenyuan, and Lei Chengtian had been waiting there for a long time.

“My lord, why did you go to the palace by yourself?” Wang Pengyuan said with a hint of dissatisfaction. “With such a big event happening, you should have sent Ye He to find us immediately.”

“I’m back safely, aren’t I?” Ye Wushuang laughed as he sat down, picked up his teacup, and took a sip.

“We can’t do this next time,” Xu Wenyuan quickly said. “My lord, the capital is in turmoil now. There are many people who want to kill you. They won’t just sit by and watch the descendant of the Ye Clan rise.”

Ye Wushuang waved his hand and said, “Alright, alright, I got it. I’ll let you guys handle it next time.”

“The reason I went this time was to remind Qing Muyuan of something.”

At this point, Ye Wushuang became curious and asked, “By the way, Qing Tianwen should not be dead. Where is he? How could he have abdicated after just five hundred years?”

The three of them all shook their heads, not knowing anything about it.

Ye Wushuang continued, “Never mind that. This time, during the one-month trial at Lingyun Mountain, I killed some people, but I also gained some unexpected benefits.”

Looking at his three confidants, Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “I can now solve the problem of the blood scabies spirit bugs on you.”

Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at each other, their expressions immediately becoming excited and overjoyed…
