Chapter 181: It is over

(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {330+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)

Yao Zhi was immediately frightened by the thought that flashed through her mind.

For a moment, Yao Zhi actually felt that it would be a good idea to let him stay.

Having been out there for so many years, Yao Zhi had seen countless despicable people, but this was the first time she had experienced such a thing.

Everyone has bad habits. Yao Zhi had never come into contact with the dark side deep in her heart before, so it was normal that she couldn’t accept it for a while.

She didn’t dare to stay any longer and just ran away after saying “I’m tired, I’m going to rest.”

Looking at the other person’s slightly flustered back, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but laugh silently.

Before, Ye Shuo was a little worried about what he would do when the Young apprentice came back, but he didn’t expect that the Young Valley apprentice would be such an interesting person.

It was especially interesting when the girl’s cheeks were red and she was trying to maintain her composure.

Ye Shuo couldn’t control his evil thoughts any more.

After returning to the room, closing the door and calming down, Yao Zhi suddenly felt annoyed. She felt that she had been in the underworld for so many years and had been a fool. She shouldn’t have panicked over such a small matter.

Fortunately, the young man was gentle and simple, and did not notice it, otherwise Yao Zhi would really have been unable to live as a human being.

Yao Zhi was making the bed while thinking about something randomly.

When she finished her work, she found the young man still in the yard, apparently sorting out the clothes he had washed during the day. Under the moonlight, the young man’s figure was tall and slender, like a pine or bamboo, tough and beautiful.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be about to turn around, Yao Zhi got excited and quickly blew out the candle on the table.

The main room in the yard suddenly became dark.

When Yao Zhi came to her senses, she was shocked to realise what she had done.

Really, there was a window between them and he wouldn’t know that I was looking at him through the gap. After realising this, Yao Zhi couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed.

Ye Shuo in the yard seemed not to notice that the candle not far away suddenly went out. He took the dried clothes into the house. Ye Shuo quickly fetched two basins of water from the water tank in the yard.

It is September now, the height of summer. Even though it is relatively cool in the mountains, it is inevitable to sweat a lot throughout the day.

Due to limited conditions, Ye Shuo could not take a hot bath, so he usually filled two basins of water and wiped his body at night.

Usually, Ye Shuo is the only one in the yard, and he basically does everything in the yard.

But isn’t Yao Zhi here right now? After all, she’s a girl, so Ye Shuo can’t go out shirtless.

But the problem is, sometimes the more you cover up, the more alluring you are. Half-covering your face is actually more tempting than being naked.

Especially when looking from the dark to the light, under the reflection of candlelight, Ye Shuo’s every move was cast on the paper-pasted window.

He first took off the mosquito repellent sachet from his waist and placed it on the table, then took off his coat. Then Yao Zhi saw every move he made clearly.

When he seemed to be starting to take off his innermost underwear, Yao Zhi immediately lay down, not daring to continue watching.

Lying on the familiar bed, Yao Zhi tossed and turned, unable to sleep, her mind filled with the silhouette on the window.

After about an incense stick of time, she heard the sound of a door opening in the side room.

There was a “squeak”, followed by the sound of splashing water. It seemed that his evening wash was over.

By the time Yao Zhi fell asleep again, it was already the second half of the night.

Compared to her, Ye Shuo slept soundly.

I don’t know if it was because she had something on her mind or if the shock she received that day was too great, but poor Yao Zhi had dreamt all night. The dream was full of strange things and everything. In the end, Yao Zhi woke up half an hour earlier than before.

It was still dark, and after Yao Zhi opened her eyes she couldn’t fall asleep.

There was no choice but for Yao Zhi to get up. At this time, as expected, Ye Shuo’s room door was still closed.

Unlike Yao Zhi and other standard martial artists, although Ye Shuo also practises martial arts, he still has to sleep until dawn before getting up.

After all, this yard belongs to Yao Zhi. In the past, Yao Zhi was used to putting her toiletries in the side room. Some things needed for martial arts practice, such as sandbags, were also placed in the side room. However, now another person has moved into the side room. Yao Zhi feels a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she should have taken out those things she needed last night.

Yao Zhi felt inexplicably awkward, as if she was not the owner of this courtyard, but Ye Shuo was.

Yao Zhi hesitated at the door for a long time. Just when she was about to give up and endure for a day, she suddenly heard the voice of a young man coming from inside the house.

“Who is it…?”

Perhaps because he had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse, but still very pleasant to hear.

Yao Zhi subconsciously stopped: “Yes…it’s me.”

What was she doing here so early?

Ye Shuo didn’t think too much about it and asked.

When he learned that she was here to get something, Ye Shuo couldn’t help but say, “Come in…”

Only then did Yao Zhi realise that he didn’t even lock the door when he slept.

Was he too unguarded towards others? No wonder he was easily lured back by the master.

Yao Zhi was about to remind him, but when she turned around, she saw that the young man was so sleepy that he could not open his eyes. His soft undergarment made of fine cotton was loose. If he made any big movement at this moment, the undergarment would probably no longer be able to cover it.

The young man was about to wake up, looking drowsy. From his defenceless posture, one could tell that he must have lived in an extremely stable and wealthy environment since he was a child.

Yao Zhi quickly gathered what she needed and left without even looking back.

Ye Shuo opened his eyes a little, but soon he could no longer resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep again.

After Yao Zhi finished practising martial arts in the open space outside, she ran around the valley several times and even finished her breakfast, but Ye Shuo was still not awake.

Could something have happened?

On the way, Yao Zhi even ran into the Eighth Prince, and thought that Ye Shuo was just like his brother, with almost the same schedule. In addition, there were not many entertainment activities in ancient times, so everyone went to bed early and naturally got up early.

It’s rare to find someone as sleepy as Ye Shuo.

Seeing that her disciple seemed inattentive and looked into her garden from time to time, the beautiful woman could hardly maintain her expression.

Because Huo Tianyi brought many servants during this period, although these servants could not cook as well as Ye Shuo, they had no problem making porridge in the morning. Ye Shuo did not have to get up early and even had to prepare breakfast himself.

Huo Tianyi and his friends finished eating quickly, and Mei Yingzhuo subconsciously ordered the servants to clean up the kitchen. However, just as he finished speaking, Yao Zhi next to him said, “Wait!”

Yao Zhi pointed at the steamed buns and porridge and said, “Don’t you need to leave some for… for Mr. Gu?”

Everyone has eaten, but the young man seems to have not eaten yet?

The beautiful woman, the Sixth Master, and the Third Master put down their bowls and chopsticks almost at the same time, and then all looked at Huo Tianyi, who was in the lead.

For some reason, even Huo Tianyi, who never cared about these little things, felt something inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

But he didn’t know why he was so uncomfortable, and his tone became a little bad: “Who asked him to get up so late? We are not his servants, why should we leave food for him?”

Yao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then reacted: “So, he didn’t have breakfast before I came back?”

That being said, Huo Tianyi always felt something was odd.

When Yao Zhi looked at the master again, there was a hint of condemnation in her eyes.

Forcing people to make such a choice and abducting them is one thing, but not only not giving them enough food, but also asking them to help cook for everyone. The master is really too harsh.

However, all this was done for herself. Anyone could say that the master was not good, except Yao Zhi.

Yao Zhi could only tell him that what he did was wrong, but she could not force him to do what he thought was right.

Yao Zhi was unable to change the master’s attitude towards Ye Shuo, but she could secretly save a portion of her own rations for Ye Shuo.

The beautiful woman noticed this scene and her teeth were about to break.

Seeing that the flowers she had raised for so many years would soon belong to someone else, the beautiful woman thought about it and felt that she couldn’t go on like this.

The beautiful woman made a prompt decision and decided to have a talk with her apprentice, and to tell her how sinister the men like the young man were.

The beautiful woman only hated that when she let her apprentice go out to explore the world, the man only mentioned how he would use sweet words to deceive the woman, what means he would use to force the woman to obey him, and how unfaithful the man would be, what kind of words he would say and what kind of things he would do, but forgot to tell her that there were such means.

Not to mention Yao Zhi, it was the first time for the beautiful woman to see Ye Shuo like this.

However, the young man’s methods were much more advanced than those of other men.

Feeling pity is a taboo for women. Women are born with soft hearts. If she feels pity for a man, she is not far from falling.

Why didn’t I think of this?

The beautiful woman stopped Yao Zhi just as she walked into the yard. However, before she could say anything, she heard the young man’s voice coming from the side room.

“Young apprentice, can you give Shuo’er a favour?”

Seeing that his door was open, Yao Zhi was hesitating whether to give him the buns and porridge in her hand, but unexpectedly he spoke first.

Yao Zhi immediately stopped caring about her second master.

“What’s the matter?”

“Can you help me get another branch from outside? I accidentally broke the branch I used to tie my hair this morning because I used too much force.”

The sound came from far away and Ye Shuo walked out with his hair loose and a look of slight distress on his face.

“Look.” As he said this, he spread out his hand, and on the palm of the young man’s hand, there was a branch that had been broken into two.

Perhaps a branch broke and scratched his hand, and suddenly a striking red mark appeared on his wrist. The red mark was particularly eye-catching under the sun and hurt people’s eyes.

The beautiful woman took a breath of cold air almost instantly, her heart felt cold, and she no longer had any hope.

Finished.

It’s all over now.
