Beast Taming Mad Concubine: The Useless Young Lady is Back!

Ye Qing'an looked at the Sixth Madam. Although the Sixth Madam had a smile on her face, the smile did not reach her eyes. She went straight to the front of the room and said, "Master is still talking with Abbot Jieran. He will be here soon. I believe everyone knows about the strange phenomenon that occurred in our mansion the night before last."

"The master specifically summoned Abbot Jieran to calculate the cause of this strange celestial phenomenon."

"Because the matter concerns everyone in our household, the master invited all the masters over the age of ten to come."

The sixth concubine emphasized each of the three words, and at the end, her gaze deliberately swept over Liu Xueying, almost imperceptibly.

This is to tell them that Liu Xueying was not released from confinement, but was only able to appear here because of this incident.

Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow. Although she disliked Liu Xueying, she had to admit that the performance by the sixth concubine was rather petty.

Liu Xueying was not angry when she heard what her sixth aunt said; she still had a smile on her face.

However, Ye Qing'an noticed that her attire today was much simpler than when she was not confined, and her makeup seemed to have changed as well.

She looks even more... pitiful?

Ye Qing'an chuckled inwardly. What was she doing? Was she trying to play the victim with Ye Qinghao?

After she returned to the manor, this was the first time that all the masters of the manor had gathered together like this. They all seemed to be ready to set up a stage and sing a few lines at any time, which really opened Ye Qing'an's eyes.

This situation is no less intense than the fierce competition for favor among the concubines in the palace when she was still there.

"The master has arrived."

No one knows who said that, but everyone turned to look at the door and saw Ye Qinghao walking over, accompanied by a monk who looked to be about fifty or sixty years old, holding a staff in his hand.

Everyone in the main hall stood on both sides, making way for them.

Ye Qinghao stepped in first, then stopped and gestured for him to enter.

Abbot Jieran put his hands together, recited a Buddhist chant, and then entered the room.

Ye Qinghao and Abbot Jieran stood in the middle. Ye Qinghao's gaze swept over everyone before he spoke: "You must have heard about what happened the night before last. Those so-called strange phenomena have caused panic in the manor. In order to calm everyone's hearts, I have specially invited Abbot Jieran here today."

“Abbot Jieran, please…”

Abbot Jieran nodded, walked to the door, and then held the staff horizontally in his hand. Soon, the staff rose into the air and spun back and forth in the air.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha, go..."

The staff suddenly shone brightly, and then, as if it had eyes, it left through the main hall's main entrance, turned a corner, and flew away.

The abbot continued chanting the mantra, and gradually, fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Everyone in the main hall held their breath and waited quietly.

A moment later, the staff flew back on its own and hovered in the air as if drawing some kind of pattern. Then, the staff suddenly fell to the ground, emitting a trembling buzz.

The buzzing sound lasted for a long time before disappearing.

Abbot Jie Ran then reached out and grasped the staff, before opening his eyes.

Ye Qinghao quickly spoke up: "Abbot, how is it? Were those strange phenomena in my manor the night before last?"

"It's an unusual phenomenon from the heavens..."

The five words spoken by Abbot Jieran made Ye Qing'an raise her eyes involuntarily.

She had previously held some expectations for this monk, thinking that someone who had served as the Grand Preceptor of the Siyou Kingdom must possess some skill.

But unexpectedly, he said that those were truly extraordinary celestial phenomena.

Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. She didn't think it was because the monk was incompetent.

I'm afraid they've already been bribed long ago.

If this monk is truly as powerful as the rumors suggest, then who is the person who bribed him?

Why go to such lengths to bribe him to come to the Ye residence?

"Is it truly a celestial phenomenon?"

Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "These strange phenomena don't look like good omens at all! Does that mean our household is... doesn't that mean..."

"Is a great calamity about to befall us?"

Even Ye Qinghao couldn't help but ponder, his brows furrowing slightly: "Does the abbot know the cause of this strange celestial phenomenon?"

Abbot Jieran lowered his eyes and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "It arose because of a sinner who deserves eternal damnation."

"A sinner deserving eternal punishment from heaven?"

"Who is that?"

Abbot Jieran closed his eyes slightly: "He is a person who can cause chaos in the world. When he was born, there were strange phenomena in the sky, which was a sign from the heavens. Moreover, he was born with an eternal seal, which prevents him from cultivating. If the seal is not broken, he can only live as an ordinary person for one lifetime and cannot wreak havoc on the world."

"Unfortunately, that person broke the seal by chance. Now that the seal is broken, he can cultivate and is about to wreak havoc on the world, so the strange phenomena in the sky serve as a warning."

Ye Qing'an slightly raised her eyes. Before this solitary abbot uttered these words, she had never expected that this strange phenomenon was aimed at her.

Especially after learning about Abbot Jieran's identity, he never doubted himself.

After all, she always felt that in the eyes of these people of the Ye family, she was just an ordinary person, and there was no need for them to go to such lengths for her, and even specially invite this former Grand Tutor.

But little did she know, she had still miscalculated.

I wonder who it is that thinks so highly of her.

This body, sealed for eternity and unable to cultivate, was broken by chance—isn't that exactly what she is?

However, it's unclear whether this Abbot's claim about sealing was genuine or just empty talk.

If he can make up stories so accurately, then that really shows his skill.

Sure enough, as soon as Abbot Jieran said this, Ye Qinghao and many others in the room turned their attention to Ye Qing'an.

Ye Qing'an simply straightened her back slightly and remained silent.

Ye Qinghao then spoke up again: "Then who exactly is this person? Could the abbot please tell us?"

Abbot Jielan slammed his staff on the ground, his expression indifferent: "I do not know who that person is. I only know her birth date and time. It should be the first day of the fourth month of the sixth year of Xingyuan, at the hour of Chen (7-9 AM). This hour is the most inauspicious time, as it is a Yin year, Yin month, and Yin hour."

"If this person is not eliminated, the Ye family will likely be destroyed, and the world will be thrown into chaos by her, potentially leading to war and widespread suffering. This person is a true femme fatale who brings ruin to the country and must be eliminated!"
