Chapter 576: It’s better to take advantage of the situation
The door was ajar.
Xie Yingmian pushed the door open.
A dim lantern was lit inside the house.
In the light of the lantern, the house could be barely seen.
In front of me is a small living room with a small table on which are placed dishes and chopsticks, obviously for eating.
There were two large bowls, which were rare in the palace.
There are a lot of chopsticks, a big bunch, probably more than a dozen pairs.
Next to the small living room is the bedroom.
The bedroom has no door, only a curtain.
The old and weak voice came from that bedroom.
Xie Yingmian opened the bedroom curtain.
The bedroom only had a bed, a table for storing miscellaneous items, and a small stool.
A white-haired old man sat weakly on the bed, his back against the wall. Before he could say anything, he started coughing.
"You are really brave." The frail old man laughed.
"Most people would run away in fear after seeing the fake ghost at the door, but you tried to catch the ghost with your bare hands. Hahaha, I haven't seen a girl as reckless as you in a long time."
Xie Yingmian corrected seriously: "It's not with bare hands, I'm wearing gloves."
As a doctor who acts in a rigorous manner, she would never grab something of unknown origin with her bare hands.
The frail old man laughed even more wantonly.
"No matter what, you are the first person who has come up to me on his own initiative in all these years. This can be considered as fate between us."
Xie Yingmian said, "It is indeed fate."
"We previously speculated that after you left Xiaoyao Island, you would likely conceal your identity and hide in the palace's guard hall or pharmacy."
"Unfortunately, I asked my senior brother to check it out, but he didn't find any trace of you."
"Yu Lingye also sent people to investigate, but also found nothing."
"I even asked the Queen to investigate, but still nothing."
"We once thought you might have left the palace or passed away long ago, but unexpectedly, you are here enjoying yourself."
The frail old man was stunned.
He looked at Xie Yingmian in disbelief: "You, you know who I am?"
After hearing this, Xie Yingmian's guess came true.
She smiled and said, "I guessed it."
"You should be Yan Qing's father, Yan Lingyue."
Yan Lingyue was a little dazed when he heard his own name.
No one has called his name for many years.
He was a little unfamiliar with his own name.
Sui Sui was surprised: "Yan Qing's father?"
"Is he the god who designed Xiaoyao Island's underground mechanism and directly destroyed my computing system?"
Xie Yingmian: "Yes, it's him."
Sui Sui spread his hands and said, "The case is solved."
"I finally understand why I, who have always been intelligent, invincible, and omnipotent, have become an artificial retard here."
"This great god's mechanical skills can destroy my computing system. I can't detect him normally."
"Damn it, Master Sui Sui, I've met my match in life!"
The conversation between Xie Yingmian and Sui Sui was taking place in his mind, and Yan Lingyue could not hear it.
Yan Lingyue asked, "How did you guess that?"
Xie Yingmian did not give a direct answer.
She said, "After leaving the Queen Mother's bedroom, I was sure I had taken the right path, but I happened to take the wrong path again."
"Those roads were right under my feet. Every time I reached a critical juncture, a new road would appear before my eyes. I guessed I had entered some kind of trap, and someone was guiding us somewhere in this way."
“I don’t know whether the people who guide me are malicious or kind.”
"Changle Palace is filled with malicious intent and an unpleasant, strange feeling. Rather than staying in Changle Palace to find the right path, it's better to take advantage of the situation."
"When I walked to the end of the road and saw the lanterns and couplets at the door, I felt dazed."
"I don't recognize the words on the couplet, but I have seen them before. They are closely related to the Gu worm."
"The phantom fog Gu after opening the door is even more disorienting."
After seeing the couplets and the phantom fog Gu, she thought she had arrived at Aunt Yu's lair.
She thought, since she was already here, she might as well take this opportunity to meet Aunt Yu.
Xie Yingmian smiled and continued, "But when I stepped on the stone slab and sensed the mechanism underneath, I suddenly thought of the person we have been looking for but have never been able to find."
"I wasn't sure then, I just speculated."
"It wasn't until I stepped onto the stone slab mechanism and saw the three perfectly hidden houses that I was completely convinced of my hypothesis."
Xie Yingmian looked at Yan Lingyue with a smile: "The only person who could quietly create so many mechanisms in such a heavily guarded palace and possess such superb mechanical skills is Yan Qing's father, Master Yan Lingyue."
Yan Lingyue laughed heartily.
He laughed so loudly and happened to cough, which choked his trachea.
I can't stop laughing, and I can't stop coughing.
He laughed and coughed at the same time, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Xie Yingmian handed over a porcelain bottle: "Drink it, it will stop your cough."
Yan Lingyue drank the medicine in the porcelain bottle without thinking.
It feels cool when it enters the throat, and then there is a hot and tingling sensation.
I feel very comfortable and my cough has eased.
"This medicine is good." Yan Lingyue said, "There's a stool over there, feel free to sit down."
"Old man, I haven't talked to anyone for a long time. Come, sit down and chat with me."
