“When Ye Chenyin received the intelligence from the spies, his first reaction was to find experts to assassinate Li Yao—he absolutely could not let him complete any cultivation technique.”
“So he went to discuss this matter with Yue Xing’er.”
“At that moment, Yue Xing’er was chatting with Ye Yu and Pei Chuxia in the garden.”
“When Ye Chenyin arrived, his face was grave, and he hesitated to speak.”
“Pei Chuxia, being sharp-witted, immediately stood up and said, ‘Mother, I suddenly remembered something I need to do. I’ll go back to my room first.’”
“‘No need, sit down!’”
“Yue Xing’er waved for Pei Chuxia to sit.”
“Then turning to Ye Chenyin, she continued: ‘You’re always like this—kicking three times and not even producing a fart!’”
“‘Pei Chuxia is already married into our Ye family, so she’s one of us.’”
“‘If you have something to say, why can’t you say it directly?’”
“‘Stop hesitating and say it!’”
“Ye Chenyin sighed and said solemnly, ‘It’s not that I intend to hide things from anyone; I just don’t want these two kids involved in matters related to Li Yao.’”
“Hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh.”
“‘I was the one who killed Li Xuanyi. Even if you don’t want me involved, do you think Demon Lord Li Yao would purposely spare me if he saw me?’”
“‘Absolutely impossible!’”
“‘I’m his real target, but I just don’t know why he hasn’t acted yet.’”
“Ye Chenyin was silent for a moment, then felt Ye Yu’s words made a lot of sense.”
“Though he wanted to handle this alone, the hatred for his son’s killer was unavoidable.”
“Soon, Ye Chenyin relaxed and thoroughly relayed all the information the spies had gathered.”
“After hearing it, Yue Xing’er instinctively said, ‘We must send people to harass him now; he must not complete any cultivation technique!’”
“Ye Chenyin nodded: ‘That’s what I think too, but should we use our own people or hire outsiders?’”
“‘I suggest hiring from outside, even if it costs a lot.’”
“Yue Xing’er nodded.”
“Though Nirvana Province hadn’t acted much recently, many unfamiliar faces had appeared in Jiulian City, intentionally or unintentionally approaching the royal city.”
“They were powerful and elusive.”
“Previously, such a situation had never happened.”
“Undoubtedly, this was Li Yao’s doing—probing Ye Yu’s whereabouts.”
“So Yue Xing’er had already realized that Li Yao was far from calm as the outside world thought.”
“Since that was the case, she naturally wanted to nip all dangers in the bud.”
“As Yue {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} Xing’er and Ye Chenyin considered who to send to Nirvana City, Pei Chuxia spoke softly: ‘Father-in-law, mother-in-law, sorry to interrupt. Actually, we don’t need to send anyone.’”
“‘Once this news spreads, naturally someone will go trouble Demon Lord Li Yao.’”
“Hearing this, Yue Xing’er and Ye Chenyin were slightly stunned, somewhat puzzled.”
“Pei Chuxia explained: ‘In the demon realm, each demon lord rules their territory, constantly clashing. Not to mention Li Yao’s eccentric personality and many enemies.’”
“‘If outsiders know he’s cultivating an unrivaled divine skill, preparing to conquer the entire demon realm...’”
“‘Then naturally many demon lords will be uneasy.’”
“‘At that time, many will want to disrupt or even kill him!’”
“‘We don’t need to act ourselves.’”
“Upon hearing this, Yue Xing’er and Ye Chenyin’s eyes lit up.”
“‘Right! Using others to attack our enemy—genius, truly genius!’”
“They began praising Pei Chuxia’s wisdom wildly.”
“Ye Yu standing nearby felt proud.”
“After all, a wife with a Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart can’t be anything but clever.”
“But none of them expected Pei Chuxia to shift her tone and continue: ‘Actually, this is useful but limited, at most it weakens Nirvana Province’s strength.’”
“‘From the spy reports, the demon hall’s outer defenses are tight; infiltration is impossible.’”
“‘So the source of his information must be external.’”
“‘And Li Yao, as a demon lord, isn’t a fool.’”
“‘If he really were cultivating some technique, no one would know, at least not his location.’”
“‘So I judge this news is probably a false flag Li Yao spread to attract attention.’”
“Ye Chenyin furrowed his brows slightly.”
“‘If analyzed this way, it’s possible.’”
“He then asked: ‘So in your opinion, what should we do now? Should we still spread the news?’”
“Pei Chuxia said softly: ‘Spread it. Let outsiders drain Nirvana Province’s strength—that’s good for us.’”
“‘And have the spies continue searching for Li Yao’s location. Even if they fail, it’s okay.’”
“‘If he’s spreading this rumor to attract attention, it means either he’s truly cultivating or tied up with something else.’”
“‘Otherwise, he would have acted against us long ago.’”
“‘In that case, we should accumulate strength to face potential future crises.’”
“Pei Chuxia’s analysis was well-reasoned.”
“Ye Chenyin for once showed a relieved expression and looked at Ye Yu: ‘You married a good wife.’”
“That remark instantly offended someone else.”
“Yue Xing’er stood and pinched Ye Chenyin’s ear: ‘So you mean I’m not a good wife? Come on, let’s settle this.’”
“Ye Chenyin, ears being pinched, walked outside, saying repeatedly: ‘All good, all good, all good wives, just let go!’”
“Watching them leave, Ye Yu couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.”
“Then he softly asked: ‘So what do we do now?’”
“Pei Chuxia smiled: ‘We should figure out how to get out of here now!’”
“Hearing this, Ye Yu instantly perked up.”
“To be honest, after staying in Jiulian City these days, he was thoroughly bored.”
“He’d always wanted to go out.”
“But the situation was too tense, and everyone advised against it.”
“So Ye Yu had been staying put safely in Jiulian City.”
“If not for that...”
“‘Wait, didn’t Pei Chuxia oppose me going out before?’”
“‘Why is she letting me go out now?’”
“Seeing Ye Yu’s puzzled look, Pei Chuxia said seriously: ‘Today is different. While Demon Lord Li Yao still hasn’t moved against Juque Province, we must seize this gap and grow stronger quickly.’”
“‘Only then can we have more confidence to face all future changes.’”
