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 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 entire underworld will fully and unconditionally cooperate!"
"Ah?" This time Bai Wuchang was really shocked, 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.
Yan Jun stood up with a bang and glanced at him:
"Just do what I'm told to do, why all the 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 steps as fast as an earthquake.
The two ghost messengers 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 folded his arms and touched his chin:
"I've been on the job for eight hundred years, and I've never seen Lord Yan Jun in seclusion..."
Lord Yan Jun is a workaholic. He will only go into seclusion when his spiritual power is depleted and needs to be restored. However, 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 Samsara Mirror, he would spend 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 time.
"finally……"
Fengdu Jun's hoarse voice choked, and he held the Samsara Mirror in his arms. His huge body was gradually enveloped by light, forming a ball of light.
Suddenly, a wailing sound was heard in the ball of light.
"Finally, finally... I've waited for this day, wua ...
…
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 her 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 waking up... Hey, miss, you're awake!"
Qiao'er let out a long sigh, then said with concern:
"Miss, you have been sleeping all day. Are you feeling unwell?"
"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 don't get sick easily."
Seeing that everything was normal for her, Qiao Er finally felt relieved. She helped her wash up while saying:
"Master Ye and Miss Xu came to visit this afternoon, saying they had something important to tell you. I told them 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, it's her." Qiao'er nodded.
"I see. 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 anxious at all.
But Yun Qingqing frowned when she saw Xu Suyao.
"Master, you are finally willing to see us! If you don't come, I will suspect that I have 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:
"Greetings, Princess."
Yun Qingqing walked straight past Ye Zhishen and walked towards Xu Suyao. She looked at her twice, 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 hit by so much bad luck?" Yun Qingqing frowned even tighter and said to Xu Suyao.
Ye Zhishen slapped his thigh fiercely:
"Sure enough! I knew something was wrong. Sister Suyao has been particularly unlucky lately, and it takes a master to see it at a glance!"
Xu Suyao pursed her lips and bowed to Yun Qingqing worriedly:
"Princess, is there any way to resolve my situation? Will it implicate you? If so, I'll..."
Yun Qingqing pinched her fingers and interrupted her:
"What did you do on October 8th?"
Xu Suyao recalled it carefully and said:
"As usual, after paying my respects to my parents at home and having breakfast, I did an hour of homework. That day... I remember the homework was piano and calligraphy."
"Then we rested for half an hour, and it was almost lunchtime... Oh, by the way, that afternoon I went to the shore of 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 event was initiated by the Empress and supervised by the Crown Princess. The Empress always sets a very generous prize. The nobles and ladies of the entire capital are proud to win the prize, so every event 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 due to some matters. On October 8th, I won first place in two subjects."
"Yaoyao is still being low-key. After she got the prize, she just became a spectator and didn't participate in the 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 did the first accident happen?"
Xu Suyao curled her fingers:
"So... after the poetry appreciation meeting, I was riding in a carriage back home when the horse suddenly got startled. Although the driver quickly controlled it, I scraped my arm."
"Now that I think about it, that horse has always been docile. This has never happened before!"
Yun Qingqing's face was serious:
"If I'm not mistaken, everything was going well for you before the poetry appreciation party. But ever since that incident with the horse, you've been experiencing a constant stream of bad luck, 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 plotted to harm me at that poetry appreciation party?"
"Who the hell would have used such vicious means to harm Yaoyao? Master, please do the math quickly. I will definitely skin the murderer alive!"
Yun Qingqing glanced at him:
"That poetry appreciation party was full of children from prominent families, none of them are easy to deal with. Even if you knew who it was, would you really just resort to violence?"
"You don't have any evidence, and I'm afraid that instead of getting justice, you'll hand it over to someone else and implicate your parents."
Ye Zhishen's face fell:
"What should we do then? 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."
