Ye Ziyu rarely showed a smile. "What? Are you surprised that I knew you were Qiao Xiuyuan's man?"
"Actually, it's not hard to guess at all. You intercepted the road outside Black Cloud City, rescued the beauty, and Xian'er and Xian'er are homophones. It would be hard for me not to guess that you are the Celestial Immortal of the Celestial Immortal Sect. After all, your appearance is quite good, and you can barely be called a celestial beauty."
“But it is clearly not enough for a sect to grow strong with just one woman; someone must be pushing it from behind. And the person with the highest status in Ganzhou should be the current Prince Jing, Ye Chengping.”
"At first, I thought Bai Mengying killed Prince Jing out of jealousy, but now I think she was probably just being used. After all, how could Ye Chengping have ascended to the throne if Prince Jing hadn't died?"
"But the fact that His Majesty ordered me to accompany Zheng Yi to Ganzhou made me aware of the relationship between the Heavenly Immortal Sect and Qiao Xiuyuan."
"I know the Emperor quite well. Bai Mengying, who should be in the Ministry of Justice's prison, suddenly appeared in a dark alley in the capital. As the emperor, he naturally cannot allow his subjects to do such things under his nose."
Therefore, the Emperor sent Zheng Yi to Ganzhou and Qiao Ziming to Jinzhou simply to ensure that the two would never return to the capital, thus teaching Zheng Lin and Qiao Xiuyuan a lesson.
"But Qiao Xiuyuan suggested to Zheng Lin that I accompany Zheng Yi to Ganzhou and directly wipe out the Heavenly Immortal Sect. Then there is only one possibility: Qiao Xiuyuan wants me to die in Ganzhou."
"So the Celestial Immortal Sect is related to Qiao Xiuyuan. You are Qiao Xiuyuan's man, while Ye Chengping has reached some kind of consensus with Qiao Xiuyuan."
"Let me guess, if I were to die at the hands of the Celestial Immortal Sect, Ye Chengping would use the pretext of avenging me to contact the Xuanwu Army in the Northern Frontier, and then seize the opportunity to declare himself king."
"Qiao Xiuyuan has planned so much, it's impossible that he's just doing all the work for someone else. So you must be someone Ye Chengping loves very much. Once Ye Chengping establishes himself as queen, you will become his woman."
"No, you should say that you will only accept Ye Chengping and make him your man after he declares himself queen."
"And by then, Ye Chengping will become Qiao Xiuyuan's puppet."
"Do you think my guess was right, Qiao Zixian?"
Upon hearing the name Qiao Zixian, Xian'er's tense body instantly went limp.
Ye Ziyu actually knows everything…
"...That's right, my name is Qiao Zixian, and I'm the Marquis's illegitimate daughter. So give up on that idea, I won't say anything!"
Ye Zeyu was only making a tentative guess, but he never expected that Xian'er was actually Qiao Xiuyuan's illegitimate daughter.
At that moment, he actually felt sorry for Qiao Zixian.
"What a loving father and daughter! Let me tell you, no father in the world would let his daughter seduce men like a prostitute, unless he simply doesn't care about her!"
"You're talking nonsense! Father said I'm his most cherished daughter. He only made me do these things because he had no other choice!"
Qiao Zixian seemed very excited because she believed what Ye Zeyu said!
Her father was very good to her, and he was also very good to her mother.
Father didn't care that Mother had been a prostitute and gave her a home. It was only because of Jiang's meanness that the Marquis didn't want them to be bullied in the Marquis's mansion, so he settled them outside.
Her father would send her a gift every year on her birthday; he never forgot.
Five years ago, she was raped by bandits, and her mother was killed by bandits. Her father even killed all the bandits in the entire mountain for her and her mother's sake!
With a father like that, how could Ye Zeyu say he didn't care about her?!
She was only fourteen years old that year and wanted to end her life. Her father held her and cried, saying that he didn't want to see her thinking so much, and that since her mother was dead, she was all he had left.
Father said, as long as a person is alive, what does it matter if they lose their innocence?
In fact, a woman's most worthless quality is her chastity. Even if she loses her chastity, she can still win a man's heart and love.
Her mother was like that; even though she lost her innocence, she still received her father's genuine love.
Seeing her depressed, her father established the Celestial Immortal Sect for her, and she became a celestial immortal in this sect. After seeing men showing infatuation with her and seeing a group of people kneeling and kowtowing to her, she gradually regained her confidence.
As it turned out, her father was right. Even though she lost her innocence, she was still able to win the man's heart and love.
Ye Chengping was one of them.
Ye Chengping treated her very well, and she really wanted to go and be with him.
But her father's situation in the capital was difficult, and he needed her help.
Therefore, he had to help his father.
I never expected Ye Ziyu to be so cunning, that he had taken precautions all along!
Not only did he not fall under the influence of any drug, but he also managed to drug the entire village.
Without a word, they slaughtered all thirty-odd warriors in the sect and learned everything their father had planned...
Seeing that Qiao Zixian still didn't intend to speak, Ye Zeyu suddenly sneered, "Tch! You think Qiao Xiuyuan would be so sincere towards you, his illegitimate daughter, since he was willing to kill his only son, Qiao Ziming? You're really pathetic!"
"Hmph! How could you tell such a lie!"
Qiao Zixian snorted coldly, clearly not believing Ye Zeyu's words.
But Ye Ziyu continued, "Zheng Yi is being protected by me on this trip, so who do you think will protect Qiao Zimo? If the Emperor wants someone dead, do you think he has any chance of survival?"
"Qiao Zixian, you've known in your heart what kind of person Qiao Xiuyuan is for a long time, but you just haven't wanted to believe it. Why don't you think about everything carefully before deciding whether to tell me everything? I'm not in a hurry."
"However, everyone in the Celestial Immortal Sect must die, and Ye Chengping, who intends to rebel, must also die. After all, it is an imperial decree, and I must obey it."
"Oh, by the way, you don't actually think that if I go to Ganzhou, I'll be isolated and helpless, at the mercy of others, do you?"
"Don't forget, the Xuanwu Army belongs to me, and I sent a letter to them as early as when I left the capital."
"Therefore, the day I step into Ganzhou will be the day I massacre Ganzhou!"
Qiao Zixian tried to stand up excitedly, but with her feet bound, any struggle she made in front of Ye Zeyu was futile.
Just as Ye Zeyu turned around, Qiao Zixian finally spoke.
"I can tell you everything I know, but you have to promise me that you won't hurt those followers, and you definitely won't hurt Ye Chengping!"
Ye Zeyu curled the corners of his lips slightly, and when he turned to look at Qiao Zixian, he reverted to his previous indifferent demeanor.
"I can agree to your request, but I need to see if what you're asking is of any value."
