"Thank you." The three of them were stunned for a moment when they saw Gu Can, then their ears turned red and they thanked him in a mosquito-like voice.
Gu Can smiled, then turned and left.
She wasn't ugly to begin with, and after practicing, her looks had noticeably improved. But ever since she took on the role of the nation's scourge enchantress, she'd become a stunning beauty no matter which world she was in. If she hadn't deliberately restrained her brilliance and cast a spell of indifference on herself, who knows how crowded the Xianglou would have been this time.
"Why do I feel that the young boss is even more beautiful?" He Shusheng stared at Gu Can's back for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.
"Brother He, the young boss is the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan. I'm afraid you're happy because you haven't seen her for a few days." The tall scholar joked.
"Go away, go away. If you don't want to see me, why bother dragging me for two miles?" He Shusheng retorted.
"Okay, Brother He, Brother Fan didn't mean it. Let's continue talking about the Qu family." The black-faced scholar reminded.
"Brother Li, Brother Li, you are the most concerned about these ghost stories. If the teacher finds out, he will punish you again." Fan Shusheng said with a smile.
"I've been talking about this all day long. Only by listening to these can I relax. Brother He, why don't you tell me quickly?" Li Shusheng also poured tea for the two of them.
"I heard about it, too. The scene was too horrifying. The first person to discover it was the night watchman, who happened to be on duty near the Qu family. When he heard the screams, he mustered up the courage to go over and take a look, and immediately fainted from fright. He also said that he saw a rat over three meters long, committing a crime." He Shusheng did not delay any further.
"A rat that's over three meters long? How is that possible?" Fan Shusheng couldn't believe it.
"But the night watchman saw the rat demon, how did he survive?" Li Shusheng asked what Gu Can also wanted to ask.
"A few days ago, rumors of a demon haunting Tianshui Town next door spread, and the prefect invited a demon catcher to come and help. Yesterday, the demon catcher happened to be back from work and was resting at the government office, not far from the Qu family. That's how the night watchman saved his life." He Shusheng smiled slightly and recounted the story. This was all firsthand information!
"Then he is really lucky. Did the demon catcher catch the rat demon?" Li Shusheng asked.
"Are there really monster catchers? Are there really monsters? I don't believe it. The teacher said, 'A scholar should not speak of strange and supernatural things.'" Fan Shusheng didn't really believe in these things.
