Chapter 660 Strange smell
After Yi Moxu left, Ye Qing'an lay down on the bed, but when she saw the red bed curtains and the mandarin ducks playing in the water embroidered on the top of the bed curtains, she couldn't fall asleep for some reason.
I tossed and turned for a while, feeling very tired, but I couldn't fall asleep at all.
The scene I had seen in that illusion kept replaying in my mind.
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips. If Liu Enze could actually transform into smoke and then condense the smoke into a physical form, then that would be truly terrifying.
This kind of technique was almost unheard of to her.
However, just as she and Yi Moxu had said before, although Liu Enze's abilities were indeed somewhat frightening, at least they finally knew what kind of skills Liu Enze possessed.
With keen senses, they can use illusions to bewitch people, weave dreams, and pull many people into an illusion at the same time.
It can transform into smoke, and it can also condense from smoke into a solid form.
After they left some of the smoke behind to dispose of it, they heard Liu Enze cry out in pain, indicating that he must have been injured.
This is enough to show that the smoke is part of Liu Enze's body, and if there is a problem with the smoke, Liu Enze will also have a problem.
Unable to fall asleep anyway, Ye Qing'an simply sat up, pursing her lips as she thought that if she simplified things and thought carefully about how to deal with the smoke, everything would seem a little simpler.
How do we deal with smoke?
Ye Qing'an bit her lower lip lightly; her first reaction was to use the wind.
The wind can disperse smoke, especially in more open areas. Once the wind has dispersed the smoke completely, it will be difficult for it to re-condense.
wind……
Ye Qing'an secretly memorized it in her heart: a Xuanling Master who practices wind-type magic should also be able to do it.
Besides wind, you can also use ice and snow...
If the weather is cold enough, the smoke that forms will freeze and then fall down as snow.
Just like how she dealt with the smoke before...
If we treat Liu Enze as a wisp of smoke, things seem much simpler.
She is the only one among the ice and snow-type mystic masters.
Wind element...
Suddenly, Ye Qing'an thought of someone, and with a clap of his hand, the person vanished from the bed.
When they arrived at Li Huo Pavilion, Gu Duo was feeding rabbits in the courtyard. He held the rabbits on his lap and was holding some radish greens in his hand.
The rabbit then ate sporadically from Gu Duo's hand.
As if hearing a noise, Gu Duo turned his head and looked at Ye Qing'an. Seeing that it was Ye Qing'an, Gu Duo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "What, it's you again?"
Upon hearing Gu Duo's words, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Why is it me again? Judging from General Gu's tone, it seems you don't want to see me?"
“Of course I don’t want to see you. You’re too scheming and have too many hidden agendas. I’ve met many people, but I really can’t figure out what you’re up to or what your purpose is.”
"No matter what you ask or say, I always feel like there's something fishy going on. No matter what I say or do, I feel like I've fallen into your trap."
Ye Qing'an covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "General, what you said makes me a little unsure how to respond. However, I was just chatting with you for a bit. There are no schemes or tricks involved. Besides, I didn't ask about your affairs, the Gu family's affairs, or anything you didn't want to talk about. I was just talking casually. I shouldn't be considered to have fallen into a trap, right?"
Gu Duo glanced at Ye Qing'an, then tossed the radish greens in his hand into the distance. The rabbit then jumped off Gu Duo's lap and chased after the radish greens.
Ye Qing'an's gaze lingered on the rabbit for a moment before she looked away.
"Sit down." Gu Duo pointed to the stool next to him.
Ye Qing'an walked past Gu Duo and reached the stool. Before she could even sit down, Gu Duo frowned and said, "Why do you have this... aura about you?"
Gu Duo paused slightly halfway through his sentence before continuing, "There was a very sinister smell, like it was shrouded in smoke, but the smoke also carried a bloody smell. In short, it was a very eerie smell."
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and sniffed herself: "Really? I can't smell anything?"
"Hmm, I have a very sensitive nose, especially for smells like this. This smell... I think it's..."
Gu Duo frowned, as if lost in memories: "I feel like I've smelled it somewhere before."
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes: "Is it on Liu Enze?"
“Liu Enze?” Gu Duo frowned, thought carefully for a long time, and then shook his head after a while: “No, no, it’s not Liu Enze, it’s the Emperor.”
Yi Yun Kui?
Gu Duo suddenly sat up straight, his lips pressed tightly together, and said, "I remember now, it's the Emperor."
"Moreover, more than ten years ago, when I mentioned it to you before, when the Emperor summoned me to the underground palace, I smelled this scent on the Emperor and in that underground palace."
"As I said before, I remember the events of that night very clearly. Everything about that underground palace—what I saw, heard, and smelled—I always think about it from time to time, so I remember it."
“That’s right.” Gu Duo’s eyes grew cold: “I’ve smelled that scent on you in that underground palace before.”
Ye Qing'an narrowed his eyes, looking at the underground palace and Yi Yun Kui's body.
So, it was at that time that Yi Yun Kui was completely controlled by Liu En Ze, and it was also Liu En Ze who instructed Gu Duo to pretend to submit to Mingyue Kingdom.
Or perhaps the place Gu Duo went to that night wasn't actually an underground palace at all, but rather, very likely, just an illusion created by Liu Enze.
The person Gu Duo met that night was very likely not actually Yi Yun Kui at all.
It wasn't Yi Yun Kui who made Gu Duo defect to the enemy...
Ye Qing'an frowned. Both possibilities were possible, but more than a decade had passed, and it would be difficult to investigate what exactly happened back then.
Ye Qing'an slightly curled her fingers inside her sleeve, and after a long while, she asked Gu Duo, "General Gu said that he remembers very clearly the events of that night more than ten years ago, even everything he saw in the underground palace, including the smells he experienced. So, does General Gu remember which night it was?"
Gu Duo naturally remembered, and simply nodded, saying, "On the night of the sixth day of the sixth month in the thirteenth year of Tianyou."
Ye Qing'an murmured the date twice and wrote it down.
After Gu Duo finished answering, he looked at Ye Qing'an intently again: "You went to that underground palace?"
