Chapter 161 Finally Waited for This Day
"…It's okay, sir. We still have souls that haven't been brought back yet, so we'll go now!" Bai Wuchang smiled awkwardly and turned around to leave.
"Wait a moment!" Yan Jun's loud voice sounded behind him.
The two had no choice but to stop and turn around.
"What else do you want, sir?"
Yan Jun said in a muffled voice:
"Pass on this order. From now on, whenever Yun Qingqing has any request, the whole underworld will fully cooperate unconditionally!"
"Ah?" This time Bai Wuchang was really stunned, even his partner in black next to him had a dazed look on his face.
"Sir... does this Yun Qingqing... have any background in higher-ups?" Bai Wuchang's curiosity was indeed greater than the threat of having his salary deducted, so he asked cautiously anyway.
Yan Jun stood up with a bang and glanced at him:
"Just do it when I tell you to. Why so much nonsense!"
"Also, I'm going to be in seclusion for half a month. Please don't disturb me unless it's urgent!"
He grabbed the Samsara Mirror and put it in his arms, then walked away with pace as fast as an earthquake.
The two ghosts were left staring at each other in bewilderment: ...
"Hiss... After half a month of seclusion, does the Samsara Mirror consume so much spiritual energy?" Bai Wuchang couldn't help but be amazed.
He poked his partner:
"How long have you been working in the underworld?"
"Five hundred years." Hei Wuchang glanced at him and said in a muffled voice.
Bai Wuchang crossed his arms and touched his chin:
"I have been working as a clerk for eight hundred years, and I have never seen Lord Yan Jun in seclusion..."
Lord Yan Jun is a workaholic. He will only go into seclusion when his spiritual energy is depleted and needs to be restored. But it is said that he has only been in seclusion for a few days in tens of millions of years.
I didn't expect that just to let Yun Qingqing see the Reincarnation Mirror, he would invest so much money!
That woman must have someone above her!
Fengdu Jun returned to his bedroom with a trembling step.
He slammed the door shut, waved his hand to cast a barrier around the entire room, took out the Samsara Mirror from his arms, and stared at it for a long while.
"finally……"
Fengdu Jun's hoarse voice choked, and he held the Samsara Mirror in his arms. His huge body was gradually illuminated by the light, forming a ball of light.
Suddenly, a loud wailing sound was heard in the ball of light.
“Finally, finally… I’ve waited until this day, wuaaaa…”
…
Yun Qingqing returned to the courtyard and it was almost dawn.
She returned to her room and sat at the table. She quickly drew the pattern she saw in the Samsara Mirror, put it into the space, and summoned a palace guard.
She gave the guard a pass and sent him to Tianming Pavilion to inform Mu Hongling to take a day off, and then she fell asleep.
She was awakened in the evening by Qiao'er's slightly worried voice.
"Miss...Miss? How are you?"
When Yun Qingqing opened her eyes, Qiao'er was putting her hand on her forehead to test her temperature.
"...You don't have a fever, but why aren't you awake... Hey, miss, you're awake!"
Qiao'er let out a long sigh, and then said with concern:
"Miss, you have been sleeping for a whole day. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"It's okay." Yun Qingqing rubbed her hair, sat up, and yawned. "I'm just sleepy after staying up all night. I'm in good health, so I won't get sick easily."
Seeing that she was doing fine, Qiao'er finally felt relieved. She helped her wash and brush her teeth while saying:
"Master Ye and Miss Xu came to visit this afternoon. They said they had something important to tell you. I told them that you were taking a nap, but they refused to leave and insisted on waiting for you to wake up. As a result, they have been waiting until now."
"Miss, are you going to meet them? Do you need to see them off?"
Yun Qingqing wiped her face and raised her eyebrows.
"Miss Xu? Is she the granddaughter of Xu Daru?"
"Yes, yes, it's her." Qiao'er nodded.
"Got it. I'll go check it out."
She changed her clothes and came to the front hall, where she saw Ye Zhishen pacing back and forth restlessly, while Xu Suyao sat beside him gracefully, not seeming to be anxious.
But Yun Qingqing frowned when she saw Xu Suyao.
"Master, you are finally willing to see us! If you didn't come, I would suspect that I had offended you recently and made you unhappy and don't want to see me!" Ye Zhishen came forward hurriedly.
Xu Suyao also stood up and bowed slightly:
"Meet the princess."
Yun Qingqing walked straight past Ye Zhishen and walked towards Xu Suyao, looked her up and down, grabbed her hand, pinched her slender white fingertips and looked at her palm.
"What's going on? The last time I saw you, you were just starting to get lucky. It's only been a short time now, how come you've been beset with so much bad luck?" Yun Qingqing frowned even tighter and said to Xu Suyao.
Ye Zhishen slapped his thigh fiercely:
"As expected! I knew something was wrong. Sister Su Yao has been particularly unlucky lately. And it must be the master who saw it at a glance!"
Xu Suyao pursed her lips and bowed to Yun Qingqing worriedly:
"My Lady Princess, is there any way to resolve my situation? Will it implicate you? If so, I'll just..."
Yun Qingqing pinched her fingers and interrupted her:
"What did you do on October 8th?"
Xu Suyao recalled carefully and said:
"Just like usual, I paid my respects to my parents at home, had breakfast, and did homework for an hour. That day... I remember the homework was playing the piano and calligraphy."
"Then I rested for half an hour, and it was almost time for lunch... Oh, by the way, that afternoon I went to the Little Mirror Lake to attend a poetry appreciation session..."
"Poetry appreciation party?" Yun Qingqing interrupted, "The one hosted by Yun Bailian?"
Xu Suyao nodded.
"This poetry appreciation meeting was initiated by the Empress and supervised by the Crown Princess. The Empress always sets a very generous prize. The nobles and ladies in the whole capital are proud to get the prize, so every meeting is very lively."
"Have you ever won a prize?" Yun Qingqing asked.
Xu Suyao nodded again and said shyly:
"I was unable to attend the previous poetry appreciation meeting because of something else. On October 8th, I won first place in two topics."
"Yaoyao is still being low-key. After she got the prize, she just became a spectator and didn't participate in subsequent projects. Otherwise, Yaoyao would definitely have a share of the prize!" Ye Zhishen added, looking proud for some reason.
Yun Qingqing glanced at him calmly, then asked Xu Suyao:
"Think carefully, when was the first time something went wrong?"
Xu Suyao curled her fingers:
"So... after the poetry appreciation meeting, I was riding in a carriage on my way back home when the horse got startled. Although the driver quickly controlled the horse, I scraped my arm."
"Now that I think about it, that horse has always been docile, and this has never happened before!"
Yun Qingqing looked serious:
"If I'm not mistaken, everything went well for you before the poetry appreciation party. Since that time when the horse got scared, you've been unlucky, right?"
Ye Zhishen took a breath:
"That's right! Yaoyao's bad luck started from then!"
Xu Suyao widened her eyes:
"Princess, are you saying... that someone secretly harmed me at that poetry appreciation party?"
"Who the hell actually used such a vicious method to harm Yaoyao! Master, please do the math, I will definitely skin the murderer alive!"
Yun Qingqing glanced at him:
"The people at the poetry appreciation party were all from famous and prestigious families, and none of them were easy to deal with. Even if you knew who it was, could you really just use force?"
"You don't have any evidence, and I'm afraid that instead of getting justice, you'll hand the evidence to someone else and implicate your parents."
Ye Zhishen's face fell:
"What should we do? Should we just let Yaoyao suffer this loss?"
Xu Suyao shook her head slightly and said:
"The princess is always good at planning. I think she has a plan."
