Chapter 2 Secret
Chapter 2 Secret
Ye Shun was stunned, and a bad feeling welled up in his heart.
Having been by the young lady's side for many years, he knew her temperament well. Unless it was something extremely serious, Ning Xiuyang would definitely be dead today.
But the sixth young lady still spared him and strictly forbade him from contacting anyone, not even herself.
I am the person that the Third Madam and the Sixth Miss trust the most.
He vaguely sensed that this weak and lowly servant was showing signs of rising to power, so he nodded repeatedly. After seeing off the sixth young lady, he enthusiastically led Ning Xiuyang to the sixth young lady's courtyard.
Qiying Garden.
In an empty room, the door was locked from the outside, but food was laid out on the table.
Ning Xiuyang didn't move an inch. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the couch, staring intently at the antique bronze mirror in his hand.
The mirror surface is no longer smooth, and it can't even reflect people's images clearly.
But he was quite certain that the ball of light that had just been related to the secret of the Sixth Miss's background was caused by this bronze mirror.
As for the origin of this bronze mirror, it was found in a ditch by my sister when we were playing outside in Ningjiazhuang many years ago.
Immersed in consciousness, one can clearly feel that deep within one's mind there is an identical bronze mirror, and sinking into it is as if entering a dark and unclear space.
"The Mirror of All Phenomena: Seeing the big picture from small details, masterful craftsmanship, all things returning to their origin."
Sixteen large, gold-plated characters rippled like waves within the sea of consciousness.
Ning Xiuyang's heart stirred, and a flood of information rushed into his mind.
This bronze mirror is named the Myriad Manifestations of the Heart Demon Mirror, also known as the Precious Mirror.
It can capture and absorb the inner demons of others, presenting them in their minds as blurry images, scents, and fragmented information.
It's not about directly reading minds. Mind-reading can directly guess what someone is thinking, but inner demons are different. Only deep-seated obsessions can form inner demons in a person's heart.
If you skip ahead in your consciousness, you'll see a dim ball of light floating in space.
This energy just drifted out from between the eyebrows of Sixth Miss Ye Yin and was then absorbed.
Within the dim light, there was a fragmented image.
The scene shows a woman wearing a red undergarment, with delicate, fair skin, a flushed face, and dreamy eyes, sitting in front of a dressing table.
Behind the woman, a young man with his upper body bare was embracing her, but the man's face was indistinct.
But Ning Xiuyang saw the woman's face clearly.
She was none other than Liu Siying, the third wife and concubine of Ye Zhenxiong, the master of Shenjian Villa and the birth mother of the sixth young lady!
Who is that man?
Although the man's face was blurry, it was definitely not Master Ye!
Although he was just a low-level servant in the Ye family, Ning Xiuyang had seen Master Ye before. He was a tall and imposing man, while the man in the picture, although handsome, was a bit effeminate and could not compare to Master Ye's heroic spirit!
The scene flashed by, and a letter fluttered up, unfolding to reveal a cheesy, sentimental message.
The letter was most likely written by the man in the incomplete picture, but he did not sign his name. However, the letter mentioned that his identity could be guessed, so he should be a doctor.
Judging from the beginning of the letter, it was clearly written to the Third Madam, Liu Siying.
Besides being cheesy, the letter also contained a piece of news that could overturn the identity of the Sixth Miss, Ye Yin.
The sixth young lady is not the biological daughter of Ye Zhenxiong, the owner of the manor.
Her biological father was the one who wrote the letter!
Ning Xiuyang was deeply shocked.
What shocked him even more was the next sentence: "If my father knew I wasn't his biological son, his path of cultivation would be severed!"
This is the inner fear and demon of Sixth Miss Ye Yin!
With this secret in mind, survival was no longer his immediate concern; he was waiting, waiting for the Sixth Miss to come to his door in person.
The Ye family is a powerful force, one of the most influential martial arts sects in Qinzhou City. Their Divine Sword Manor is a renowned martial arts sect, with some of its disciples even reaching the level of immortals. It is said that Ye Qingxian, the eldest daughter of the Ye family, was so talented that she was taken in as a disciple by an immortal from the Jixia Academy, the top cultivation sect in the Great Qi Dynasty, when she was only ten years old. Her cultivation is said to be extraordinary.
Within the Divine Sword Manor, there are also beings who have come into contact with immortals.
I recently heard that Ye Zhenxiong, the master of Shenjian Villa, was seriously injured and bedridden after fighting with Yin Hongling, the demoness of the Manluo Holy Sect, over a secret treasure.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the entire manor has been tense lately, and the fact that Miss Ye Yin went out today is probably related to this matter.
However, these things are beyond Ning Xiuyang's reach. His most urgent wish now is to embark on the path of cultivation and change the fate of his servants.
……
the other side.
The divine steed, Bai Nilong, snorted frequently as it strolled along the streets of Jinshui County.
On the saddle, fear lurked in Ye Yin's eyes. Despite the bright sunshine, her face was so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water.
How could that little servant know about his mother's letter?
No, we can't wait any longer!
Completely disoriented, Ye Yin immediately turned her horse around and returned. She had been ordered by her aunt to go to Xiangshui County to invite Pei Zhengtong, the renowned physician of the Pei family medical clinic, to come to the Ye family to treat her father's injuries.
Physician Pei is most skilled at treating injuries sustained in magical battles.
Her maternal grandfather was the head of the Liu family in Xiangshui County, and he was highly respected in the county, which is why her aunt sent her there.
Having had her inner demons exposed by the young servant, Ye Yin felt a constant risk of being exposed. She needed to go back and discuss a proper solution with her mother.
The reason she didn't contact Ning Xiuyang immediately but instead took him into custody was because she was worried that she might make a mistake in the chaos. In such a situation, she needed to calm down and think of a solution.
Qiying Garden.
Ye Shun was pacing anxiously in the courtyard, pondering the 'mystery' between the stable boy Ning Xiuyang and the sixth young lady that morning.
Suddenly, he saw a beautiful figure appear through the moon gate, and his heart tightened. He hurriedly went to greet her.
"Sixth Miss, why are you back so soon?"
Upon seeing Ye Shun, Ye Yin felt inexplicably irritated and coldly said, "I have other important matters to attend to. You may leave now. Without my permission, no one is allowed to set foot in Feixue Tower!"
Feixue Tower was the residence of the Third Madam, Liu Siying.
"Yes." Ye Shun nodded respectfully.
Just as he was about to leave, Ye Yin asked, seemingly casually, "Where is that ungrateful little servant locked up this morning?"
Ye Shun hurriedly pointed to a row of low houses not far away and reported, "It's locked in the reception room. Here's the key."
Ye Yin casually took the key and then dismissed Ye Shun.
Looking at the three-story building with its carved beams and painted rafters, Ye Yin had a complicated expression. She took a deep breath and then stepped inside.
Ning Xiuyang, who was in the reception room, vaguely heard the sounds coming from outside, and his heart stirred.
Ye Yin is back!
For a moment, Ning Xiuyang couldn't help but recall the little foot that had stepped on his shoulder and back, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
Before today I was a slave.
From this day forward, I belong to the Lord of all!
During the time that had just passed, Ning Xiuyang had come up with a bold and unconventional, yet effective, idea.
An idea that the Third Madam and the Sixth Miss of the Ye family could not refuse!
