"Surround them!" Qi Chengshuo strode over and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" the guards responded, immediately surrounding Qi Fangya and the others.

"Chengshuo, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, Uncle Jiu would have been in grave danger today." Qi Jiu stepped forward, grabbed Qi Chengshuo's arm, and winked at him.

"Send them to the Jingzhao government office and tell the prefect that Princess Rong'an, relying on her status as a noblewoman of the imperial family, has bullied the common people and trespassed on private property," Qi Chengshuo instructed calmly.

“Your Highness, you’ve misunderstood. I absolutely did not lay a finger on Ninth Master. We did not enter the Ye family’s gate, nor did we touch any members of the Ye family. We only had a verbal dispute,” Qi Fangya quickly said.

Qi Chengshuo ignored him and waved his hand. The guards immediately rushed over and took Qi Fangya and the others to see the officials.

"Ninth Uncle, let me leave some people here to protect you," Qi Chengshuo said, turning his head with some concern.

"No need. This is the capital. If I die here, where will I put my face?" Qi Jiu said, patting his shoulder. "You've come at the right time. It's getting late. Stay and have dinner with us."

Qi Chengshuo didn't want to leave anyway, so after hearing Qi Jiu's words, he quickly agreed: "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Jiu and Aunt Jiu."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jiu intended to invite Qi Chengshuo into the house, but found that Qi Chengshuo had already fallen behind and was talking to Ye Xianya.

After this incident, Qi Chengshuo originally wanted to comfort Ye Xianya, but then he suddenly realized that the girl wasn't even afraid of demons and monsters, let alone an ordinary person like Qi Fangya.

"Why did you come here?" Ye Xianya asked in a low voice.

Does a dignified young master have so much free time?

I've been going to their place every day for the past few days.

“I was ordered by my grandfather to protect Uncle Jiu, and I have to come and check on him every day to feel at ease.”

Qi Chengshuo laughed as he spoke: "Uncle Jiu said yesterday that he missed the cold sea cucumber salad and braised abalone made by our family's chef, so I brought them here specially. Eat them while they're hot."

It was getting late, and Ye Xianya was already quite hungry. Hearing Qi Chengshuo say that, she quickly went into the courtyard.

Worried that something might happen to her son, Ms. Hua only cooked rice and did not cook any other dishes.

Qi Chengshuo happened to have brought a lot of good dishes, so everyone had dinner together.

...

As night deepened, Ye Miaoyun got up to get a drink of water. When she opened the window, she noticed that the light was still on in her daughter's room behind her. Feeling a little worried, she decided to go and check on her.

"The light is still on in Xianya's room. I'll go take a look." After saying that, Ye Miaoyun took a coat from the rack and put it on.

"My wife, I'll go with you," Qi Jiu said, sitting up from the bed while yawning.

"No need, it's just in a big courtyard, not far. You should get some rest." After saying that, Ye Miaoyun carried the lamp out.

Shen Furong and Ye Xianya lived in the same room, but she lived in the side room on the left side of the room.

Upon hearing the door open, Shen Furong immediately came out to check and found that it was Ye Miaoyun. She quickly stepped forward to greet her.

"Is Xianya still awake?" Ye Miaoyun asked in a low voice.

“Miss is still making amulets,” Shen Furong replied immediately.

Ye Miaoyun nodded upon hearing this and went into the inner room to find her daughter.

"Xianya, it's already late at night, why aren't you asleep yet?" Ye Miaoyun asked softly, looking at her daughter who was still bent over her desk by the shore.

“Mother, Qi Fangya came to visit us today, and our affair with Jiang Mingtao has also come to a head. Let’s resolve this matter as soon as possible to avoid further trouble.”

Ye Xianya originally intended to slowly whittle down the Jiang family's health, but since they already knew everything and still came to cause trouble, she would grant their wish and send these filthy creatures to hell as soon as possible.

"I plan to take action tomorrow. To prevent Qi Fangya from becoming desperate and targeting you, Mother, you should stay in the mansion and not go out tomorrow. I have already asked Qi Chengshuo to send people to protect you."

Ye Xianya smiled and said, "In addition, I have also made a protective amulet for each of you. You have the protective amulets of the Ye family, plus this one I gave you, so you will definitely be safe."

"Are you planning to deal with them alone?" Ye Miaoyun asked anxiously, holding her daughter's hand.

"Hmm." Ye Xianya nodded: "I alone am enough, and I won't show myself, nor will I be in any danger."

As Ye Xianya spoke, she leaned close to Ye Miaoyun's ear and told her about her plans and arrangements.

Upon hearing her words, Ye Miaoyun's eyes widened in surprise: "Will this work?"

"Of course he can. Jiang Mingtao is just an ordinary person, not a cultivator. He can't break the puppet technique I set up. Mother, just wait for your daughter's good news," Ye Xianya said with a smile.

"Okay!" Ye Miaoyun nodded.

"The amulet is ready. It's getting late, Mother, go back and rest." Ye Xianya moved her somewhat stiff arms and smiled.

"Now that you've finished, lie down and go to sleep. I'll wait until you're settled before I leave," Ye Miaoyun said quickly.

She worried that her daughter was just teasing her.

Ye Xianya nodded and quickly went to lie down.

Ye Miaoyun tucked her daughter in, reminded her to be careful tomorrow, and then left.

After she left, Ye Xianya immediately sat up and used the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper her body and enhance her strength.

Unfortunately, the spiritual energy is becoming increasingly scarce, especially in these densely populated cities.

When they lived in Liuhe Town before, the spiritual energy there was noticeably richer than here.

Even though cultivation is somewhat difficult, Ye Xianya meditates for half an hour every day before going to sleep and when she gets up in the morning.

...

The next morning, Ye Xianya was about to go out when she found Qi Chengshuo standing outside as soon as she opened the door.

Before Ye Xianya could speak, Qi Chengshuo said, "I have transferred a hundred guards to protect the Ye family."

"Thank you!" Ye Xianya said with a smile. She had only taken two steps forward when she noticed Qi Chengshuo following behind her.

She turned her head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

“Xianya, I know you’re very capable and can handle this on your own, but… no matter what, you’re still a young girl who hasn’t reached marriageable age yet. Your Ninth Uncle and your mother are very worried. Let me go with you today, so they can rest assured,” Qi Chengshuo said in a low voice.

"Okay." Ye Xianya nodded and walked forward quickly.

The two traveled by carriage to the alley behind the Jiang residence.

“This small door is the Jiang family’s back door,” Qi Chengshuo said in a low voice as he lifted the carriage curtain.

"Hmm." Ye Xianya nodded and took out a small jade pendant from the small cloth bag she carried with her.

As she used her mystical arts, the jade tablet slowly left her palm, flew out from the small curtain on the side of the carriage, and went straight into the Jiang family's residence.

Qi Chengshuo didn't know what she was up to, but Ye Xianya's move was truly astonishing.

This is the art of controlling objects.
