14 Backfired scheme -1

The next morning everyone in Ye mansion was woken up by the sound of ringing bell. The soundwas peaceful and calm, bringing serenity to all.

As people got up slowly and walked to the front gate, Ye FengTian did as well. She stretched her back and got out of bed. After dressing and washing up, she simply let her hair flow down her back, she didn't really bother with her appearance. Nonetheless even without dressing up, she still looked flawlessly beautiful.

Arriving at the gates, the members of Ye family were stunned. In front of them, standing in a monk custom and having a bald hair with beads in his hands, the man seemed peaceful and holy, like a worshiper of Buddha.

In his right hand was a jade beaded bracelet, and in his left was a small bell like or object. The object was small and was made from a type of metal material, but it also had a peculiar golden arrow resting on top.

Ye Feng Tian glanced expressionlessly at the arrow on top of the bell. Her eyes glinted with a cold light, but it soon disappeared, her eyes reverted back to ones of weakness and shyness. However, in the eyes of the matriarch he saw a timid and young beautiful girl who was looking nervously at the daoist. He narrowed his eyes when he saw his youngest granddaughter acting like that.

He slightly coughed to ease the atmosphere before he gestured to the monk looking man. In a respectful tone he said, "this is Daoist Wen Xuan. I invited him to our mansion recently because of the event at the border, I feel ill at ease, so had thought to invite him over." The matriarch explained. He lead Taoist Wen Xuan into the mansion.

Everyone agreed silently that the matriarch was thoughtful to invite a Taoist here. Some people were indeed ill at ease after the whole ordeal with servant Han's betrayal.

Before Taoist Wen Xuan stepped in his face suddenly contorted into visible awareness and discomfort. It was like he was scared and petrified by something that he found.

He coughed lightly,noticing that everyone including the matriarch had stopped, he explained, "I sense something darkand evil lurking among this mansion. Earlier as I was conducting a purifying song with my purity bell, I had detected evilness somewhere. However, now I am sure that it is definitely inside the mansion." He had a kind and righteous face on as he talked, silently, Ye FengTian was impressed by this man's acting skills.

'Too bad though, your leading your patron to ruin.' Just as she thought this, she noticed that the man's gaze had landed on her. Her eyes turned slightly cold, but her facade was still on. A timid and extra nervous girl was portrayed as she fiddled with her fingers under the questioning gazes the matriarch, her step mother, and even father and sisters threw at her.

She noticed two gazes that were actually gazing at her pitifully, wait, no one was a dark gaze that seemed from the devil himself.

As she had guessed,the cold and dark devil like gaze was from Ye Zhen who was behind her, and to her left was Ye Yu Chen Who was gazing at her pitifully but also sort of confused.

She Ignored their gazes and continued acting nervously. This time she noticed that Wen Xuan was staring at her briefly with a very tranced look, but he also had hints of confusion in his gaze, like he didn't expect that Ye FengTian would actually appear nervous and timid like that. She found that odd but she didn't think much about it.

But to outsiders like the matriarch, he only thought that the Taoist was looking at Ye FengTian because he found out something and it was linked to her. Most people also concluded that the Taoist was suspicious of Ye FengTian and was accusing her of something but was also afraid to hurt the nervous looking girl.

Seeing this, Ye Chen Xue was actually nervous.Hatred fled into her heart as she glared furiously at that flawless face of her sister. 'We are all concubines! So why does your face have to be so peerless!' The more she thought the more twisted her expression became. But nonetheless, years of restraint and etiquettelessons had paid use as her angelic face seemed to burst into tears anytime, making her face pitiful and innocent.

However her nervous eyes weren't missed by a certain someone, as his devil like aura rushed to wards Ye Chen Xue. Ye Chen Xue shivered slightly, but she was nervous but also determined to finish her peerless sister off! She was done forever feeling inferior to that appearance! Her hatred only became more obvious as she thought of a way to snap Taoist Wen Xuan out of his trance.

She signalled slightly to the Taoist. For a few seconds the entrance hall was silent before the Taoist started coughing rapidly. Finally, after some time, he finally calmed down and said with his pale and frightened face.

"I will conduct a thorough search of the Ye mansion, rest assured Great general Xian!" With that the Taoist started chanting rapidly a series of chants and words. Some where in audiable and some where understandable, with each passing chant he would sway his 'purity bell' and keep chanting.

Everyone had cold sweat on their backs as they listened to the Taoist chant some really awful stuff.

Audible words like 'rid of the she-devil in this mansion' was chanted ever so often. It sent chills down Ye Yu Chen's back as she silently prayed that the Taoist wasn't chanting about her. However he heart couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that he was chanting about a certain devil. Her originally shivering back was even drenched in more cold sweat as she recalled the dead corpses of ten S rank assassins that she had hired. Her shivering abruptly stopped when a cold whisper beside her sounded out.

It was Ye FengTian. She softly whispered coldly. 'Older sister Yu, why are you shivering?' Her voice was a whisper that could only be seen and heard by Ye Yu Chen. Ye Yu Chen silently gulped as she involuntarily forced herself to stop shivering.

Next Ye FengTian glanced icily at Ye Chen Xue, he so just happened to catch her hatred filled gaze.

Ye FengTian, facing Ye Chen Xue's hatred filled gaze. Her cold and expressionless face lost all its facade as a icily shiver went down Ye Chen Xue's back. She looked back at the person she despised the most, blinked and then stared at her again. Her heart instantly refused to believe that the timid and nervous beauty in front of her had just sent such a cold shiver down her spine!

Getting impatient, she signalled once again for Taoist Wen Xuan to hurry up.

Finally after a few seconds, Taoist Xuan opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with righteousness but slight disgust as his gaze locked onto Ye FengTian.

His gaze then shifted towards the direction of Ye FengTian's courtyard!

Declaring strongly to the matriarch and the rest of Ye family, he yelled firmly, "I confirm that the evil spirit energy I feel is definitely somewhere in this court hard!" He pointed his wrinkly fingers towards Ye FengTian's courtyard.

At that moment all hell was about to break loose as Ye Zhen felt that his murderous aura was about to break all limits. However when he remembered the cold gaze that Ye FengTian had shot at Ye Chen Xue, he felt relieved, sighing, he sounded amused as he laughed silently inside.

At that moment the Matriarch could no longer hold his suspicions as he gazed slightly displeased at his granddaughter. Then he suddenly pointed at Ye FengTian's courtyard as he ordered angrily, "search the whole courtyard! Don't miss a single place!"
