As Shen Ye lay in bed, his mind was filled with thoughts of what Bai Chuheng was up to. First, he drugged him and put him to sleep, then he gave him his freedom, and finally he went away for a while and didn't come back. Was it intentional?
It's good that Bai Chuheng isn't coming back; it gives me time to do hidden quests for him.
The next day, after getting up and having breakfast, Shen Ye began packing his things to go to the theater.
The original owner had a huge collection of outfits, all made with the finest materials, and none of them were the same!
Shen Ye exclaimed inwardly, "It's good to be rich!"
When I'm resurrected, I'll strive to be a rich person, buying whatever I like, and having the best of everything. When I eat hot pot, I'll only have meat and won't eat a single vegetable!
They weren't surprised when Shen Ye returned, since they had sent someone to inform them in advance.
"Jinxiu, you're finally back! It's been two years since I last saw you. Are you feeling better?" The boy who was closest to the original owner asked.
“Jinxiu, what exactly is wrong with you? You’ve been getting treatment for two years. We’ve said we wanted to visit you several times, but the warlord’s men have stopped us at the door and wouldn’t let us in.”
"Yes, we were all so worried about you. You've been sick for two years, lying in the governor's mansion every day?"
"I don't know what illness it is. My godfather didn't tell me. He just told me not to worry and to cooperate with the doctor's treatment." Shen Ye lied without batting an eye. Seeing that they still wanted to ask more questions, he quickly changed the subject, "I also brought you gifts this time."
As he spoke, he had the gifts brought up and distributed to them one by one.
The two soldiers responsible for protecting Shen Ye were called Xiao Zhang and Xiao Li by Shen Ye.
"Xiao Zhang, why don't you and Xiao Li go down to the stage for some tea? I'll stay here and call you from the front when it's time to go back later."
The two weren't worried that Shen Ye would run away, after all, they wouldn't dare even if they were given a hundred lives. Their main purpose in following Shen Ye was to monitor his every move so that they could report to Bai Chuheng at any time.
This is Bai Jinxiu's first time performing on stage in the past two years, so there are a lot of people coming to see him today. According to Old Du, the head of the opera troupe, not only are all the tickets for today sold out, but even tickets for tomorrow are already booked!
While at home, Shen Ye redeemed a skill card using points, so he wasn't worried about not having the original owner's opera singing skills.
Before going on stage, I couldn't imagine how many people were in the audience. I was completely stunned when I went on stage. If the venue hadn't been limited, it would have looked like a concert by a popular singer.
It's easy to imagine how popular the original owner of this body was here.
"This scenery is so enchanting..."
With a nervous heart, Shen Ye finished singing the original owner's signature song, "The Drunken Concubine," and was about to leave the stage when a voice suddenly called out to him from below the stage.
"Boss Bai, I have traveled all the way from Qingcheng just to hear you sing. Now that I have finally met you in person, there is a question that has been on my mind for a long time. I would like to ask it today. I wonder if Boss Bai could answer it for me?"
Upon hearing this voice, Shen Ye stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at the girl below the stage with a beaming smile.
The girl chuckled, then her loud voice rang out in the theater, "Boss Bai, there are rumors circulating that you and your godfather, the warlord, have an inappropriate relationship in bed. Is that true?"
Upon hearing this, the smile vanished instantly, a hint of panic flashed across her face, as if someone had caught her red-handed, her heart pounding with fear and dread!
