Longevity, starting from traveling and telling stories

Chapter 50: Blessings never come in pairs, misfortunes never come alone

"Sir, and everyone, please listen to what Ye has to say." Everyone looked at him intently, curious about what he would say.

Ye Beixuan secretly rejoiced that his old skills were still useful!

"It is said that in Kongxian Mountain there lived an extremely ugly demon named Yan Ruyu, who had learned the art of disguise." (From Fox Spirit Matchmaker)
Ye Beixuan was seen standing in the court, speaking eloquently, gesticulating, and telling the story.

Qin Ruoxi watched him tell the story, and suddenly a wicked smile appeared in her heart. Gradually, the two figures overlapped completely, and she suddenly understood. She murmured to herself, "Is it you?"

Ye Beixuan had no idea what Qin Ruoxi would see. He was beaming with joy as he recounted how Yan Ruyu disguised himself as a handsome man to seduce beautiful women, and then disappeared without a trace after succeeding.

Everyone was gritting their teeth, and the women felt the same way.

"Finally, Yan Ruyu was finally captured by the wise, brave, and righteous county magistrate and imprisoned for self-reflection."

[Today, I will talk about the fourth chapter. Prolonging life: one day increases your cultivation by thirty days.]

[Special Reward: One Thought, One Thousand Faces]

[One Thought, Thousand Faces: Can change into any appearance, but can only change appearance once a day]

What a great thing! A must-have for robbery.

Say it.

Ye Beixuan bowed and said, "Sir, this case is a demon disguising himself as me to commit evil. I beg you to be discerning."

"You're talking nonsense," a woman said angrily, "What kind of handsome man are you?"

"Uh..." Ye Beixuan glanced at everyone and found that they all thought so. So he said awkwardly: "Maybe the aesthetics of demons are different from ours! Don't you think so?"

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at the women again, and immediately felt that what he said made some sense.

The county magistrate looked at the crowd's reactions and asked, "Is there anyone willing to be his guarantor?"

"Sir, I am willing to guarantee him." Qin Ruoxi immediately jumped out and said.

Then she said, "My family owns a Yuelai Inn in town, and I can act as his guarantor."

The county magistrate frowned when he heard this. He was just going through the motions, but he didn't expect that someone would actually vouch for him.

So he had no choice but to say, "Record the evidence and testimony of the case."

"Guarantor Qin Ruoxi, please put your fingerprint on the guarantee letter, and the suspect can leave temporarily."

Qin Ruoxi walked quickly forward and pressed her fingerprint without even looking.

Upon seeing this, the county magistrate loudly announced, "The suspect, Ye Shiluo, is temporarily released. He is not allowed to leave Shiluo Town without permission and must report to the authorities every three days."

Snapped!
"Quit."

Ye Beixuan breathed a sigh of relief. If they really didn't let him go, he would have to become a wanted criminal. At worst, he could just change his appearance and move away.

"Mr. Ye"

Ye Beixuan had just stepped out of the door when a clear and pleasant voice, but also a voice that seemed to be happy and resentful, came from behind him. This "Mr. Ye" seemed different from the current "Mr. Ye".

"Huh?" Ye Beixuan turned his head and saw that it was Qin Ruoxi. Fortunately, she arrived in time today, otherwise she would have really escaped from prison.

"Miss Qin, thank you for your kindness today."

Qin Ruoxi's eyes were shining with gold as she looked at Ye Beixuan's whole body intently, as if she wanted to see him naked. Ye Beixuan felt a little scared. She might be attracted to a bearded man like him!

The girl's eyes were full of joy. She put her hands behind her back and circled around Ye Beixuan like an elf in the forest. Her movements were extremely cute.

Her voice was as sweet as a silver bell. She said, "Mr. Ye, what are you talking about? You did me a favor last night! How about we call it even?"

Ye Beixuan smiled slightly but said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the girl tilted her head playfully and asked, "Why would someone disguise themselves as you and do evil?" Why? Ye Beixuan was speechless for a while. It's all because of you. I was sitting at home, and disaster came from the sky.

Ye Beixuan responded softly: "Maybe it's because I am a handsome man in the eyes of monsters!"

When the girl heard this, she blinked her big watery eyes and looked at his bearded face with confusion. Mr. Ye was so handsome before, why did he disguise himself as a bearded man?

Time passed quickly, and soon Ye Beixuan arrived at the school gate.

"If Miss Qin doesn't mind, you can come in and take a look." In fact, Ye Beixuan wanted to drive people away, but he was too embarrassed to mention this "great benefactor", so he had to say the opposite.

"Okay!" Qin Ruoxi was as happy as a little deer, running around.

Ye Beixuan shook his head helplessly and stepped into the courtyard. Not long after walking, he saw Mr. Qian, who introduced him here, with a serious expression, saying, "Mr. Ye..."

He paused slightly, as if he was having trouble speaking, and finally said, "Today, the parents of the children came to the school to make a commotion. They claimed that their children must not be taught by a rapist..."

"As you know, our private school was jointly established by several large villages and families."

Looking at Teacher Qian's embarrassed expression, Ye Beixuan knew in his heart that he was fired!
He sighed inwardly. He really couldn't blame them. Teachers have always been considered people with good moral character. Now that he was burdened with such a crime, it was indeed no longer appropriate for him to stay here. How could he blame Mr. Qian who introduced him?
"In that case, I will pack up and leave here. Thank you Mr. Qian for your care all the time." Ye Beixuan spoke calmly and bowed slightly, but a trace of loneliness flashed involuntarily in his eyes.

He glanced at the familiar courtyard, a trace of sadness welling up in his heart. Oh! Where should he go from now on?
"In that case, thank you very much, Mr. Ye. I am truly sorry. I have always believed that Mr. Ye is not that kind of person."

"Thank you."

Qin Ruoxi, who was standing next to her, pinched her chin, her small nose wrinkled unconsciously. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and knocked her fist on her palm, saying, "I got it."

Ye Beixuan walked into the lecture hall and slowly packed up. There were not many things, just some books, pens, clothes, and some personal belongings.

After cleaning up, he looked back, his figure looking a little lonely, and walked away slowly.

"Mr. Ye"

"Mr. Ye"

Suddenly, a bunch of childish voices came from behind, and it was a large group of students chasing after them.

The children's faces were slightly red, with tears in their eyes, but they tried hard not to let them fall.

"Sir, if you leave, what will we do if we have no stories to listen to?"

Several little boys were pushing each other, vying to get forward. One of them shouted, "Sir, we can't bear to leave you. Don't go!"

Li Erniu, a burly and powerful man, ran up to Ye Beixuan, panting, and said, "Sir, you haven't finished telling the story of Zhu Bajie yet!"

Ye Beixuan slowly turned around and looked at this group of cute children with a smile on his face.

He squatted down gently, touched Li Erniu's chubby little face, and said, "Children, I'll tell you later, okay?"

"Mr. Ye, you tell stories so well, why don't you come to my inn to tell stories?" Qin Ruoxi suddenly said from the side.

"Hmm?" Ye Beixuan looked at her, somewhat surprised, and said, "Are you willing to hire a rapist like me? Aren't you afraid that I'll bring bad luck to your inn?"

"Others don't believe you, how can I not believe you? After all, you were with me that night." At the end of her words, her voice became smaller and smaller. After all, she was a girl and he was alone together late at night.

Then, as if she was afraid that Ye Beixuan would refuse, she said to the group of children, "Children, from now on, when you come to the inn after school, let the teacher tell you, okay?"

"Okay!" the children shouted happily in unison, dragging out their voices.

The taciturn Li Hao clung to the corner of Ye Beixuan's clothes tightly, tears welling up in his eyes. Ye Beixuan took off the pig head plaque, hung it around his neck and said, "This is the pig head plaque I modified and carved. You should learn from this."

"Children, I'm leaving. Goodbye." After saying that, his eyes swept across the children's innocent faces, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He took a deep breath, turned around calmly, stepped over the threshold and left with his hands behind his back.

Behind me, I could faintly hear the crying of children.

Ye Beixuan did not stop, but his back was stretched out in the sunlight, looking so lonely and desolate.

Qin Ruoxi gritted her teeth and followed.
