Heckling
Seeing him pretending to know nothing, Ye Jing'an really didn't think he had done it. Ye Jing'an was about to explode when he noticed Ye Jingning and the others were staring at him. He had to force a standard smile and said, "It's okay, Brother Liu. A bastard just grabbed my flesh."
Liu Muzhe looked at Ye Jingning in confusion.
Ye Jingning understood what he meant and scolded Ye Jingan, "Don't act like a jerk all day long! Stand still and don't act like a gangster. Your sister Yuling is talking to you about serious matters!"
Ye Jing'an pressed his tongue against his cheek and squinted at Liu Muze. Seeing him slightly raise his chin and curl one corner of his mouth, it was a clear provocation.
This guy surnamed Liu is not a good person, he is very bad!
Ye Jingning waited for a long time, and seeing that her best friend was unable to speak, he pulled her behind him and said for her: "When two people do that, the girl's belly gets bigger and bigger, and finally her belly explodes and she dies."
"The girl's parents don't want this matter to be known to everyone. They want to protect the girl's reputation. They chose not to call the police and hope that we can resolve it privately." Wu Yuling looked embarrassed.
"What have you found out now?" Ye Jing'an asked.
Wu Yuling told several people that she had recently been appointed principal of the school and didn't know much about it. After nearly a week of investigation, she discovered that the school must have many secrets. She called the previous principal, but he remained tight-lipped and refused to tell Wu Yuling what had happened. Few other people knew about the situation, and those who did were hesitant and unwilling to speak.
Wu Yuling had gathered very little information these days, only hearing a few rumors from students, none of which sounded very reliable. Most students said the school was built on a cemetery and was therefore often haunted.
"Sister Yuling, are there any students saying that a girl committed suicide by jumping off the building, so it's haunted?" Ye Jing'an asked.
Wu Yuling nodded.
Qiu Zimu sneered, "Students in every school say the same thing. When Ye Jing'an and I were in school, we often heard all kinds of ghost stories. They were all made up by them. They're really not believable."
"Let's go to the school first." Liu Muzhe said.
The fastest way to get to the town was to fly to Pingshui City, the nearest city, and then take the train. The four seats on the train happened to be facing each other, so Wu Yuling smiled and asked Ye Jingan to sit in the same row. He had originally planned to sit with Liu Muze, but then he thought it would be nice to sit across from him and watch Brother Liu.
As soon as Liu Muze boarded the train, he sat quietly in his seat with his eyes closed, wondering if he had fallen asleep. He had fair skin and a handsome face with a cold air, yet a gentleness hidden beneath it. This cool, otherworldly yet gentle temperament particularly attracted Ye Jingan.
Ye Jingan was so lost in thought that he unconsciously reached out to touch his face. When he was about to get close, Liu Muze opened his eyes. Ye Jingan's hand froze in place, and he smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Liu, hey, I..."
Liu Muze was not willing to pay attention to him, and before he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and continued to rest. Ye Jingan breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to make any more small movements, and looked at him quietly.
After a while, Qiu Zimu, who was sleeping soundly, leaned his head on Liu Muzhe's shoulder.
Ye Jingan: “…”
Ye Jing'an reached out and pushed Qiu Zimu's head to the other side. Because of the big movement, Liu Muze was woken up again. He stared at him and said indifferently, "What are you doing again?"
"I was afraid that he would touch your shoulder, so I helped you push it. Don't be ungrateful!" Ye Jing'an crossed his arms across his chest, his back pressed tightly against the train's backrest, pretending to be sulking because his kindness was not rewarded.
Liu Muzhe took a deep breath and looked out the window, deciding not to sleep anymore.
It was already past four in the afternoon when the train arrived at the station. It was still daylight, so we put down our luggage and immediately went to Jixing No. 1 Middle School. We wanted to take a look at the school environment first so that we wouldn't get lost in the dark if we went at night.
When we arrived at the school, it was break time. The students started to get agitated when they saw three unfamiliar faces, three handsome men at that. The students in the upper teaching building, shielded by a wall and not afraid of being seen by the principal, were the first to start the commotion.
"Those three handsome guys, I want to marry you."
"The black clothes are mine, don't fight with me!"
"That little brother with the black bag, I like you!"
The one carrying the black bag was Qiu Zimu. He had never experienced such a scene before. His face turned red and he hid next to Liu Muzhe, covering his face.
"He's shy, ahhhhhhh, so cute!"
"I'm in love!"
There were even boys shouting, one of them shouting louder than anyone else: "That handsome guy with long hair in white clothes, I love you!"
Liu Muzhe, who had experienced a big scene, also had a pale face.
Wu Yuling angrily yelled at the people above, "Everyone, be quiet! Look at you, one by one, you don't act like students at all!"
"Principal, you are so beautiful. We love you too." Although the students upstairs knew that she was the new principal, they were not afraid of her at all. They continued to make a fuss, and the situation became more and more intense.
"..." Wu Yuling quickly turned around and apologized to them repeatedly, "These children are rebellious, leave them alone."
Ye Jing'an would not indulge them. He walked between Liu Muze and Qiu Zimu, put his arms around their shoulders, and shouted provocatively: "They are all mine, don't even think about it!"
As soon as these actions and words were spoken, all the girls in the school went crazy, screaming. Two or three girls on the playground gathered together, laughing and discussing something, pointing at the three of them, and some even secretly took photos.
Ye Jingan was also a little confused. Wasn’t this reaction a bit too much?
Liu Muze knew what was going on, and was speechless for a moment. When he gave up his ascension, the heavens' compensation was to become an Earthly Immortal, a title they forced upon you, regardless of your willingness. The benefits of being an Earthly Immortal weren't many, and he wasn't even given the mana he desired.
Most of the time, he was not willing to accept these benefits, such as the extension of life. He really did not want to live so long, thinking about Ye Chenyi day after day was too painful. He could commit suicide, but how could he be worthy of Ye Chenyi's risking his life to save him.
Another benefit is a significant increase in sensitivity across all five senses, which is incredibly helpful for hunting down demons and monsters. His vision alone is like having the ability to see ghosts and spirits. However, these benefits can also be annoying. For example, right now, his hearing is so much better than a normal person's. He can hear everything the girls on the playground whisper. A few of them are talking about how pretty someone is, but most of the time, they're saying things that make him want to cut off his ears.
"Hey, that beautiful long-haired brother must be hugging his handsome little wife!"
"Yeah! I think so too."
Liu Muzhe frowned and shook off Ye Jing'an's hand.
"Hey, look at him, he's embarrassed. It's confirmed!"
"The little wife looks angry. Someone must be saying they like her husband, and he's jealous!"
…
These were relatively good, but Liu Muze couldn't stand the more outrageous ones. They were simply obscene and unbearable to the ears!
The more Liu Muzhe thought about it, the more he felt that becoming a terrestrial immortal would only add to his troubles. It would have been fine if he couldn't hear these words, but because of the ears given by Heaven, he could hear every word clearly.
Being verbally teased is bad enough, but being treated as Ye Jingan’s little wife, and... oh!
I am his ancestor! Liu Muze wanted to shout this out to them. He was already old and was being insulted and humiliated everywhere.
Ye Jing'an only heard people say he was handsome, but he didn't know that those little girls were whispering about him having a little wife. Seeing Liu Muze's displeasure at being praised for his handsomeness, he moved closer and teased with a smile, "You look unhappy, right? Is it because more people praise me for my handsomeness than you? Are you jealous?"
Liu Muzhe glared at Ye Jingan and heard words that made him even more unhappy.
"Look, you're starting to coax your little wife, right? I knew it!"
"His little wife seems to have a bad temper and will probably be hard to coax!"
"Ye Jing'an, stay away from me and don't talk to me." Liu Muzhe had a blank expression on his face and spoke in a cold tone, suppressing his anger.
"Oh, Brother Liu is the most handsome! Just smile." Ye Jing'an hooked his shoulder again, tilted his head and smiled to coax him.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" The girls around exploded, jumping high, covering their faces and stomping their feet.
"Huh?" Ye Jing'an was confused. "What's wrong with them?"
Liu Muze knew but didn't say anything. What would happen if Ye Jing'an knew what those little girls said? He would be laughed to death by Ye Jing'an...
"Take your hands off my shoulders, or I'll kill you!" Liu Muzhe said.
Seeing that his expression did not seem to be joking, Ye Jingan pulled back his hand and poked Qiu Zimu to ask what was wrong. Qiu Zimu shook her head, saying that she did not know what happened. He had not interacted with girls since he was a child, so he did not know what was going on in little girls' minds all day long.
The students around were getting more and more violent, and the teachers who were on break in the office had to run out to maintain order, but the situation had already reached a point where it was out of control and could not be managed at all.
Ye Jing'an didn't understand. While the three of them looked okay, it wasn't enough to cause such a big reaction from these students. Besides, there were a lot of handsome guys in this school; he could spot several decent ones at a glance. He walked over to the row with Wu Yuling and asked these students what was going on.
"I wasn't like this when I was a child, and I didn't know... I'm really sorry." Wu Yuling was embarrassed by being called out by these students. After all, she asked the three of them to come and help with the investigation, but ended up being teased by her own students.
The three of them quickened their pace, thinking about escaping from here quickly. Fortunately, they had Principal Wu Yuling with them, otherwise the three of them would probably be surrounded and not allowed to leave today.
The bell rang, and the students, with a grumble, reluctantly returned to their classrooms. The campus quieted down, save for the sound of several classes reading before class. However, students taking gym class on the basketball court would occasionally glance at them, whispering to each other behind the teacher's back.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Muzhe's frown finally relaxed.
They arrived at the abandoned girls' dormitory. This building was supposed to be renovated into a teaching building years ago. However, due to the school's large compensation payments over the years, there wasn't enough money to start construction. It had been left abandoned, used to store discarded chairs. Although it was a bright, sunny day, the chilly wind inside sent a chill down one's spine.
