Chapter 179 What Incense Should Be Offered?
Li Wen gasped, his whole body tense. Wasn't Ye Qing'an supposed to be a good-for-nothing? How could that be?
His cultivation level was clearly higher than hers...
"What do you want to do? I am the son of the General of the Cavalry!"
Ye Qing'an laughed: "So what? So many people saw and heard what happened today. You were the one who provoked us first, and you were the one who spoke rudely first."
Ye Qing'an looked at Li Wen and threw out a sound-stealing bubble from her sleeve: "It's alright. After I hurt you, I just need to throw this bubble in front of your father. I want to see if he dares to come and seek justice for you."
After Ye Qing'an finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand, and the ice arrows shot towards Li Wen.
Li Wen tried to deal with it in a panic, but an ice arrow still pierced through his shoulder blade.
Blood immediately stained his clothes red, and he was in great pain.
Li Wen raised his hand to cover the wound on his shoulder, his hand clenching tightly in his sleeve. But Ye Qing'an's words echoed in his ears. Li Wen gritted his teeth. He had indeed acted too impulsively today. If he continued to entangle with the two siblings from the Ye family, even if he won by chance, he would not be in the right...
As Li Wen pondered this, he slowly loosened his grip on his hand.
Ye Qing'an could tell what Li Wen was thinking just by looking at his expression. She narrowed her eyes slightly. Although Li Wen often played with Ye Feiran, he was not as brainless as Ye Feiran.
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Ye Feiran, who was standing to the side trembling with anger: "Come up, what are you still doing down there?"
Ye Feiran opened her mouth to curse, but then she saw Ye Qing'an's warning eyes. Ye Feiran swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. After a long while, she took a deep breath, snorted coldly, and stepped into the carriage.
As the carriage started moving, Ye Feiran was still indignant: "Why didn't you just kill him? That Li Wen is so annoying."
Ye Qing'an merely raised her eyes: "Isn't it because you said things you shouldn't have in front of them that led to their attitude today?"
Ye Feiran felt guilty, but she was still angry when she thought of what Li Wen had just said: "I said yes, but they said no, and they said it in such disgusting terms."
"That's your friend."
"Who would want to be friends with them? I don't want to be friends with them anymore. I've already broken off all ties with them."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow and glanced at Ye Feiran: "How do you usually interact with them?"
"How else can we get along? Isn't that how friends are? We go out to eat, drink, and have fun together, and if anyone bullies one of us, we all bully them back together."
Ye Qing'an nodded thoughtfully: "Who pays for your daily food, drink, and entertainment?"
"Me?" Ye Feiran raised his chin. "The manor usually gives me quite a lot of money."
"If someone bullies you, who will help you get revenge?"
"Me?" Ye Feiran seemed to vaguely sense that something was wrong. "I'm the oldest among them. They all say that only I can keep the other side in check."
Ye Qing'an chuckled lightly: "Is that so? So, you're going to be responsible for their food and drink, and also take the blame for them as villains, offending everyone?"
"..." Ye Feiran's face immediately turned ugly. Although Ye Qing'an's words were a bit harsh, upon closer inspection, they did seem to be true.
Ye Qing'an glanced at Ye Feiran indifferently: "In this Wangjing City, it's not that you were born into the best family. Above you and me, there is the royal family. Any one of them is more noble than you or me."
"Perhaps you think that the people you bully on a daily basis are not princes or grandsons of the emperor. But you have never thought that those people in the royal family have intricate connections with everyone else in Wangjing City."
"Take Li Wen from earlier, for example. Does he have any relatives who are part of the royal family?"
Ye Feiran nodded: "Yes, his sister is Consort Yu."
"Yes, because you are familiar with him, you know that his sister is Consort Yu. You may not be very familiar with many of the people they instructed you to bully before, and you don't know their family background, but you still recklessly bullied them."
"Tell me, after they were bullied, who did they hate: Li Wen and Wang Shiming who instigated you, or you who bullied them?"
Ye Feiran opened her mouth, wanting to argue, but couldn't find any words to refute it.
"Think about it carefully yourself." Ye Qing'an closed her eyes and leaned against the carriage wall to rest. "Think about what kind of people you usually associate with."
"Think about why they are laughing at you today."
Ye Feiran opened his mouth, but seeing that Ye Qing'an had already closed his eyes to rest, he ultimately said nothing.
He always felt that he had a group of very loyal friends...
But I never imagined that one day, when I looked at his friends from a different perspective, I would find them so disgusting...
Ye Feiran thought about it all the way, and it wasn't until they were almost at the Ye residence that Ye Qing'an opened her eyes.
As soon as Ye Qing'an opened her eyes, Ye Feiran immediately spoke up: "I've figured it out. They treat me like this because I'm easy to bully and stupid."
"I have now seen through their true colors and will no longer let them deceive and manipulate me."
Ye Qing'an simply responded with a faint "yes".
If only I could truly understand it.
But she always felt that someone as easily fooled as Ye Feiran would probably suffer many more losses in the future.
Ye Feiran felt that the matter was over, so he excitedly took out the sound-stealing bubble that Ye Qingan had given him from his sleeve: "Listen, Mr. Lingjun came to me before, and I said it the way you taught me, and Mr. Lingjun really fell for it."
Ye Qing'an responded and put the sound-stealing bubble into her sleeve: "Okay."
it is good?
Ye Feiran's smile gradually faded. Is that all?
Ye Qing'an seemed not to see the longing on his face, and got off the carriage as soon as it stopped.
Ye Feiran followed behind Ye Qing'an, looking dejected, tearing at the flowers and leaves along the way.
He did such a good job, and he didn't even get a single compliment?
This woman is truly unpredictable.
Ye Feiran muttered to himself as he followed Ye Qing'an into the courtyard.
Ye Qing'an stepped into the main courtyard. Ye Feiran was about to leave for the side room when he suddenly heard Ye Qing'an speak: "Come in and offer incense."
Ye Feiran paused, his face full of confusion: "Offer incense?"
What kind of incense should we offer?
