Chapter 240 The Sakura Cemetery 2
Ye Shaoyang raised his head to see Tan Xiaohui smiling bitterly at him . She did not touch any alcohol at all, but she seemed to be gloomy with worry .
“Do you know what she wants? Tan Xiaohui asked softly .
“What?” Ye Shaoyang regretted being quick tongued . He quickly shook his hands . He seemed to know what Xie Yuqing wanted to say . However, he felt that somethings should not be revealed and should instead be kept secret . It was like a paper window . Once you poked through it, there was no way to recover . It would leave a mark even if you tried to repaste it .
“Xiao Ma! Xiao Ma!” Ye Shaoyang shouted, hoping to have him send Xie Yuqing back to her room . Turning around, Xiao Ma and w.a.n.g Ping were having a nice conversation back at the couch .
d.a.m.n him! Know nothing except picking up girls yet almost succeeding, Ye Shaoyang scolded Xiao Ma in his mind, as he said to Old Guo, “Give me a minute . I will send her back to her room . ”
“It’s okay, I will take care of her . You can go on with your conversation,” said Tan Xiaohui as she stood up and offered to help .
Ye Shaoyang thanked her in advance . To his surprise, a tiny woman like her could carry Xie Yuqing on one side of her arm . She walked out as if she did not put any effort into supporting Xie Yuqing . It seemed like the white witches had high standards of physique . Ye Shaoyang could not help but admire her .
Having no more worries, Ye Shaoyang turned back to Old Guo and said, “For this matter, I think… . Umm, sorry, where were we at just now?”
“You were saying that you were prepared to form a family now . ”
“Yep, yep . Wait a second--Pooh! Pooh! Since when was I preparing to form a family?”
Old Guo answered, as he glanced over at Xiao Ma and w.a.n.g Ping, who were whispering to each other, “I think your apprentice is going to pick her up soon . You should consider one too . Besides, you have already reached the age of marriage . ”
Rui Lengyu’s face and voice appeared at once in Ye Shaoyang’s mind . He shook his head hurriedly, pretending that the wine had begun to take effect on him, as he simply muttered, “I swear not to get married as long as h.e.l.l exists . ”
Old Guo wanted to say more but Ye Shaoyang stopped him, “Don’t try to be a busybody . Back to the topic, who is the owner of the cemetery, and why are you afraid of offending him?”
Old Guo sighed, “Mr . Ma, the owner of the cemetery, is a powerful political entrepreneur and a low-profile multimillionaire . He is of the same rank as Zhou Jingru’s father . If I happen to offend him, I will have no chance to survive in Stone City . ”
Ye Shaoyang frowned, and mumbled, “How did such a man get involved in the Five Spirit Moving Mountain Formation?”
“Whether he is related or not, we will only know after looking into the matter . The main concern is that we don’t have a way to go in . ”
“How about we climb over the wall?”
Old Guo shrugged, “The CCTV are all around the corner . The security will discover us . ”
“We can cover our faces,” said Ye Shaoyang .
“What?! Sneaking into someone’s house with masks on? That is a crime!”
“It won’t be caught so easily . How about tomorrow?”
Old Guo sat upright in a dumbstruck manner . He hesitated for a moment before he shook his hands and replied, “No, I am too old to climb over a wall . You can proceed without me . ”
Ye Shaoyang laughed, “Ahaha, seriously? Why did you fight as quick as a young man previously against the Violent Undead in Li Clan’s Village Waterfront?”
Old Guo rolled his eyes, “Alright, I can send you there and look out for you . ”
Ye Shaoyang smiled sinisterly, but he did not press the matter any further, “OK . Tomorrow, 8 a . m . fetch me at the lobby . Remember to prepare shovels and other necessary equipment . ”
“Noted . Since we have work to do tomorrow, and we are done with our drinking now, why don’t you join me for a foot ma.s.sage?” said Old Guo as he stretched himself .
Ye Shaoyang quickly rejected him, “No, thanks . I have no interest . ”
“Drop it . I will ask Teng Yongqing . ” Old Guo stood up and walked toward Teng Yongqing .
Even though Teng Yongqing was a honest man, Xiao Ma still forced him to drink two gla.s.ses of liquor during the meal . Now, he sat on a corner of a couch, putting his palms together devoutly, as he prayed for Buddha’s forgiveness . However, he had a drowsy look and alcohol breath from his mouth gushed out upon reciting the Buddhist scripture created a weird combination .
Ye Shaoyang quickly held Old Guo back, “Forget about him . He has just broken his vow of alcohol abstinence, yet you are going to tempt him l.u.s.t!”
“What the h.e.l.l are you talking about? It is merely a foot ma.s.sage . It is common nowadays, men and women, going for a foot ma.s.sage,” Old Guo objected .
“Fine, ask your wife to come along . Or, I can help you . I have her contact number,” said Ye Shaoyang .
Old Guo packed his things and walked toward the exit, grumbling, “In that case I better go back and sleep . ”
Ye Shaoyang burst into laughter, “Ahaha, I knew it . You have a guilty conscience . ”
Upon exiting, Old Guo looked back and scolded, “For Heaven’s sake, guilty conscience! I am afraid of her knowing me spending money . That penny pincher will chop off my feet if she knew I spent money on a foot ma.s.sage!”
Old Guo’s words left Ye Shaoyang speechless .
After Old Guo left, Ye Shaoyang went to Xiao Ma and w.a.n.g Ping, who were still whispering happily with each other . He tapped on Xiao Ma’s shoulder, “I am leaving . Tomorrow 8 a . m . wait for me at the lobby . I have job for you . ”
Xiao Ma raised his head and paused for a while . Then, he nodded, “Noted . ”
Ye Shaoyang smiled . He glanced at w.a.n.g Ping and exited the room .
Once he left, w.a.n.g Ping pouted her lips in displeasure, “I thought you promised to go shopping with me; why did you accept his offer?”
Xiao Ma let out a mischievous laugh and comforted her with sweet-talk, “We can go shopping any day, but a job is different . I will shop with you for the whole day after I have completed my job . ”
w.a.n.g Ping smiled faintly, “You look proactive, but that is Ye Shaoyang’s business . How is that related to you?”
“His business is my business . ” These words escaped his lips without a second of hesitation .
An awkward smile appeared at a corner of w.a.n.g Ping’s mouth .
Right after Ye Shaoyang showered, someone knocked on his room door . It was a wet-haired Tan Xiaohui, who was wearing her pajamas .
Ye Shaoyang wondered if she had become fairer than usual after bathing . She looked more charming than normal .
“Um… . Anything I can help you with, Xiaohui?”
“I am here to tell you something,” replied Tan Xiaohui, as she entered the room and sat on the couch before Ye Shaoyang invited her . He poured her a gla.s.s of water, and sat opposite to her .
Tan Xiaohui continued, “I came here because of Madam Chee . Previously, I was too busy with other stuff, so I forgot to tell you an important piece of information . ”
Her information shocked Ye Shaoyang . They discussed the matter for quite a long period . At last, they reached a common ground . However, they had one big mystery left unsolved .
“Perhaps, you will get the answer in the final formation,” said Tan Xiaohui .
Ye Shaoyang nodded in agreement . He briefed her regarding tomorrow’s plans, asking her if she wanted to come along .
A strange expression flashed across her eyes, but she shook her head, “I would better stay here . There is no use in having many people since you are just going to survey the place . We shall further discuss our next move after your investigation . ”
Then, Tan Xiaohui left after the two discussed a little more . Once she left, Ye Shaoyang climbed onto the bed and slid into dreams at once .
