Chapter 744

"At noon, Ye Yu walked through the lord’s mansion, warmly greeting every fairy guard he met."

"‘Lan’er, you look even more beautiful than yesterday.’"

"‘Li Xin, let me guess your wish today. Hmm, do you want a beautiful bouquet? Perfect timing—I just brought one for you!’"

"‘Fairy Dong, you look a bit exhausted. How about resting for a few days? If anyone asks, just say you’re running errands for me.’"

"‘Ah, between you and me, no need to be so formal.’"

"..."

"In just a few days, Ye Yu /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ had clearly become a very popular figure in the lord’s mansion."

"Almost everyone’s affection for him was skyrocketing."

"Nobody knew why, but it felt as if he had some mysterious power—whenever someone had a thought, he would help make it happen."

"This feeling was simply marvelous!"

"Of course, many fairies thought he was a man who truly understood them."

"Little did they know, what Ye Yu really wanted was not just their favor."

"More importantly, he wanted to fulfill their wishes."

"After all, although An Jinqiu’s cyan wish was tempting, he couldn’t waste time idling here."

"Every bit counts—mosquito meat is still meat; it must be eaten."

"Finishing some white-ranked dreams of the fairies in the lord’s mansion little by little was quite rewarding."

"After wandering for an hour, Ye Yu headed straight to An Jieyue’s blessed grotto."

"The main quest still had to be completed."

"Once he finished An Jinqiu’s cyan wish, Ye Yu planned to leave—he couldn’t stay in Yourong City forever."

"So today, Ye Yu intended to try breaking through An Jieyue’s psychological defenses and ask why she held such hostility toward her sister."

"Finding the key issue was the fastest way to solve the problem."

"However, just as Ye Yu arrived at the grotto,"

"He found An Jieyue surprisingly well-behaved, sitting quietly in the chair as if deliberately waiting for him."

"This made Ye Yu frown slightly."

"Something was off! Completely off!"

"This girl was usually unruly and rebellious, and if she wasn’t jumping around, it was already a big deal. How was she so obedient today?"

"Could there be a scheme?"

"'Mr. Ye, you’re here! Please sit down, I’ll pour you some tea.'"

"An Jieyue hurriedly invited Ye Yu to sit and personally poured immortal tea, placing it before him."

"A faint smile graced her face."

"She looked utterly adorable."

"Ye Yu, however, did not reach for the tea but carefully looked inside."

"He softly asked, 'Did you poison the tea?'"

"That question nearly choked An Jieyue on the spot."

"Her smile froze instantly."

"But she quickly composed herself and accepted the tea."

"She said casually, 'If Mr. Ye doesn’t want tea, then don’t drink it. Why make such a joke?'"

"Ye Yu raised an eyebrow; now he was certain An Jieyue was definitely hiding something."

"His eyes instinctively glanced above her head."

"Three wish messages immediately appeared."

"1. Brother Shen Zhongyan promised to sneak into my blessed grotto tonight and use secret arts to take me away. So before nightfall, this bastard Ye Yu must be sent away; otherwise, he’ll ruin everything. (Blue)"

"2. If I can successfully escape Yourong City today, the future will be a happy two-person world with Brother Shen Zhongyan, hoping he will love me forever, never abandoning me! (Gold)"

"3. An Jinqiu, today we part ways; you and I will never meet again! (Purple)"

"After reading the wishes, Ye Yu’s expression became strange."

"No wonder she suddenly changed—her beloved is coming."

"Tsk tsk, women!"

"Noticing Ye Yu’s teasing gaze, An Jieyue instinctively stepped back half a pace."

"Her heart filled with panic."

"Again, again like this!"

"Every time before Ye Yu sees through her thoughts, this look appears."

"What to do? Has he already found out about Brother Shen Zhongyan coming?"

"An Jieyue clenched her fists, trying to suppress her fear, and tremulously said, 'Mr. Ye, why are you looking at me like this all of a sudden? Is there something on my face?'"

"'Nothing, just that you suddenly seem sensible.'"

"Ye Yu shook his head slightly, but the teasing in his eyes never faded."

"'You want me gone? Then I’ll fulfill your blue wish!'"

"But before that, I want the information I need, so I can help ease the sisters’ relationship."

"Seeing Ye Yu silent, An Jieyue breathed a sigh of relief."

"Then said insincerely, 'Actually, it’s not that I suddenly became sensible; I just suddenly understood some things.'"

"‘Of course, you deserve some credit; after all, I can’t resist anything in front of you.’"

"In that case, it’s better to behave obediently."

"Ye Yu laughed, 'A wise man knows the times! Good, very good!'"

"An Jieyue took the opportunity and said, 'Mr. Ye, now that I’m so obedient, can you reward me with a day alone? I want to write a private letter to give to that... sister.'"

"'Is that okay?'"

"'No!'"

"Ye Yu decisively rejected An Jieyue’s request."

"This instantly darkened her face, fists clenched tightly, on the verge of losing control."

"But just then, Ye Yu suddenly changed tone and said again,"

"'Actually, making me leave isn’t impossible. If you answer one question, I’ll leave immediately and give you the alone time you want!'"

"An Jieyue’s eyes lit up, and she quickly said, 'Please speak, Mr. Ye!'"

"'Why do you have such hostility toward your sister?'"

"Upon hearing this, An Jieyue’s eyes darkened."

"After a long silence, she suddenly sneered, 'What, that woman didn’t tell you about this?'"

"Ye Yu said, 'I didn’t ask, and she didn’t say. Also, I think I should ask you first, since you and she both view things from your own perspectives, which must be biased. I’ll weigh both sides and judge fairly who is right and who is wrong.'"

"An Jieyue laughed, 'Fair? What fair? You’re the one she hired; naturally, you’ll take her side.'"

"But it doesn’t matter. Since you want to know, I’ll tell you so you understand just how cold and heartless she really is!'"
