After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"I'm afraid I'm not worthy!"

Ye Qingwu's gaze was icy, ready to strike at any moment. The man was clearly enraged by these words, and in that instant, black energy surged around him as he moved toward her.

Ye Qingwu took out a talisman and said that she had searched the gambling den and only found the formation, but not the evil aura. It turned out that the evil aura was all on this person.

This makes it much easier to completely eliminate the evil energy.

The moment the man unleashed his malevolent energy, Ye Qingwu chanted an incantation, and the clumps of black energy seemed to sense some danger, scattering in all directions.

Unfortunately, the area was blocked by an array, preventing the black energy from leaving. It could only wander around aimlessly. At that moment, only she and the man were conscious.

good chance.

The thrown talismans continuously absorbed the malevolent energy within the formation until the last bit was completely absorbed. The man stared wide-eyed at the scene before him in disbelief.

She looked at Ye Qingwu with a horrified expression, "How...how is this possible? How could you absorb all this evil energy?"

This is incredible.

Ye Qingwu sneered and replied to the middle-aged man, "Not only can I resolve these malevolent energies, but since you are skilled in magic, you should understand the principle that things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes."

"You used the formation here to let the evil energy absorb so much malice, now it's time to taste the backlash."

As soon as Ye Qingwu finished speaking, the black energy still attached to the man began to surge outwards, condensing into a ball and heading towards the man.

"No...don't come over here!"

The man was filled with regret and, realizing that there was a formation blocking his way, tried to destroy the formation's core.

Unfortunately, his speed was ultimately no match for the black mist.

The man lost consciousness while struggling. Seeing that it was about time, Ye Qingwu collected the remaining evil energy into a talisman and took it into her space.

As for these people...

Ye Qingwu first awakened Leng Feng, and then broke the formation.

Leng Feng stared in shock at the fallen people, then noticed Ye Qingwu standing there calmly. He tentatively asked, "Your Highness, why are these people so still? Could it be that they've already...?"

"He's just unconscious and will wake up in a while. As for that man, although the evil energy won't kill him, the fear left behind when the evil thoughts he absorbed are withdrawn will stay with him and he won't be able to get rid of them."

"The formation is broken, it's time to get out."

Ye Qingwu walked outside and saw dozens of soldiers standing outside the alley. The leading official stepped forward quickly when he saw her, bowed respectfully and said, "This humble official greets the Regent's Princess."

"What are you..."

Seeing Ye Qingwu's confusion, the official quickly explained, "Princess Regent, we are here on the orders of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review."

“We noticed something strange about this gambling den when we were on patrol a while ago. No one who went in ever came out, so we paid special attention to this place.”

"It wasn't until we heard that Your Highness was heading there with your people that we finally gathered them together."

After hearing the official's explanation, Ye Qingwu had a general understanding of the matter.

"If that's the case, the rest is up to you."

It's the best thing to leave this matter to the government to handle.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will handle these matters properly."

Just as Ye Qingwu was about to leave, she suddenly thought of Ye Yuanfeng, that spoiled brat who spent his days idly and even went to gambling dens. He deserved to be taught a lesson.

She remembered that Ye Xuan valued his reputation the most, so why not use this incident to give those people a warning?

"By the way," Ye Qingwu stopped and said to the official.

The official looked at Ye Qingwu and hurriedly asked, his tone perhaps even ingratiating.

"What are your instructions, Your Highness?"

"That's Ye Yuanfeng, the second young master of the Duke's mansion, in the corner. With such a big commotion at this gambling den, we can't just keep quiet about it."

“Otherwise, many more people will suffer as a result, and it is truly shameful for this second young master to enter such a place.”

The officials understood Ye Qingwu's meaning perfectly well.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will report these matters to the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. I believe the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review will not tolerate such a thing."

Ye Qingwu nodded and left the restaurant. She glanced at Leng Feng, who was following beside her, and the two guards.

"Leng Feng, you take these people back first, I'll wander around by myself."

"But what about your safety, Your Highness?"

"I'll be fine."

Ye Qingwu replied.

Upon hearing this, and seeing that the guards, though awake, were not in good condition, Leng Feng did not refuse any longer and instructed Ye Qingwu, "Your Highness, please be careful."

After Leng Feng left, Ye Qingwu headed towards a teahouse. Although the man's cultivation was not high, his malevolent aura, having absorbed the evil thoughts of so many people in the gambling den, was not to be underestimated.

This is why she would directly store the items into her spatial storage instead of destroying them.

Most importantly, she seemed to sense something familiar within these malevolent energies.

Right now, she needs to find a place to enter the space and check it out, and the teahouse closest to her is the best place to go.

Upon entering the teahouse, Ye Qingwu went upstairs to a quiet private room, where she wouldn't have to worry about being disturbed.

Her consciousness immediately entered the space, only to see the talisman paper that had absorbed the evil energy floating in the air.

As Ye Qingwu chanted the incantation, the malevolent energy flew out from the talisman.

It was quickly enveloped by the spiritual energy in the space and eventually turned into a tiny bead.

The black beads gleamed, and before Ye Qingwu could examine them up close, the beads flew into her body the next second, and some blurry images appeared and disappeared.

After a long time, Ye Qingwu emerged from the space, opened her eyes, and found that her power had increased significantly.

As for those scenes… Ye Qingwu lowered her eyes, her heart filled with countless questions. They were actually related to the plot in the book. She saw Ye Qingzhu become a wandering ghost after being buried alive with the deceased, and there was also a sorcerer. The man was wearing a black robe and sat upright in the formation. When she wanted to go over, she saw the formation suddenly flash with light.

Her intuition told her that her transmigration into the book and Ye Qingzhu's rebirth were likely related to the man in the black robe.

However, due to the obstruction of the formation, she was unable to see the other person's face clearly.

However, since the other party has such abilities, they must not be an ordinary person.

These malevolent energies can transform into prayer beads. If she continues to investigate along this line, she will surely find some clues.

Just as Ye Qingwu was pondering this, she heard footsteps approaching from outside.

"Who?!" At her shout, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Upon seeing who entered, Ye Qingwu was taken aback and asked with some surprise, "Your Highness?"

"Why are you here?"

Ye Qingwu was surprised and sensed something was wrong. Logically, Leng Feng had already returned with his men and would have told Zhan Sijing about this.
