Chapter 445 Little Liar
Zhu Chuideng thought about the little girl's methods.
It's like a bamboo sieve holding water, full of holes.
The nineteen-year-old Zhu Chuideng believed it, and the idiot actually believed it after hearing it.
But for a man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, who has seen all kinds of evil spirits and monsters, and who has seen all kinds of human conditions, with his experience, her childish tricks could not deceive him at all.
"Little liar."
He lost interest and straightened his bent back.
Ye Xiaoman didn't expect that her performance would only receive such a light-hearted evaluation. Zhu Chuideng raised his face that was leaning against her and she chased after him unwillingly. When they met, his chin just brushed against the side of her face.
Zhu Chuideng had a rough physique and thick hair and beard. Even if he shaved well, the skin on his chin was still rough. If he got up one day without shaving, a dark blue stubble would appear under his head.
The skin on Ye Xiaoman's face was soft, and it felt prickly and uncomfortable when his chin rubbed against it. She frowned slightly and avoided his chin.
Zhu Chuideng found her reaction amusing. The little liar who pretended to be affectionate couldn't hold it in any longer and showed a look of disgust at one moment.
He didn't know whether it was from his true heart or from the reaction of the 19-year-old youth Zhu Chuideng, he was teasing her deliberately. She shrank her head back, and he moved his face closer and poked her face with his stubble.
"You're crazy." Ye Xiaoman cursed with a smile.
Ye Xiaoman used her hand to block him. He rested his straight nose on the back of Ye Xiaoman's hand and smelled the fragrance of spring orchids and plants on her skin.
This inexplicable interaction made both of them look at each other and laugh.
Zhu Chuideng felt upset, thinking that the young man Zhu Chuideng's consciousness dominated his actions.
Seeing that his expression had softened, Ye Xiaoman struck while the iron was hot: "Are we reconciled?"
Zhu Chuideng straightened up and looked down at her, "Little girl, you even deceived ghosts. That's too much."
Ye Xiaoman didn't expect that Zhu Chuideng would not be persuaded this time and was too calm.
If other fish in the fish pond were cheated on by her, the more they liked her, the more they could not accept the betrayal, and they would always make trouble with her excitedly at the first moment.
Zhu Chuideng never blamed her from beginning to end, never asked for justice from her, and even spoke without any personal emotion. She felt that he had an inexplicable sense of oppression from a superior, and looked at her without emotion from a high position.
She doesn't like being scrutinized.
Looking at Zhu Chuideng, I felt that he was a little strange, and I always felt that there was something different about him from before.
The face was still the same, otherwise she would have really thought it was the ghost master himself coming...
Ye Xiaoman's heart bounced violently like a live shrimp being pushed into boiling water.
If you look closely, the details of Zhu Chuideng's face have changed.
To describe it, the difference between the Zhu Chuideng in front of her and the young Zhu Chuideng in her impression is like the difference between a young man in his teens or twenties and a uncle in his thirties.
The Zhu Chuideng who called her "Auntie" had immature eyebrows and eyes, a shy expression, and a simple and honest air about him, which made people feel that he was easy to deceive.
Zhu Chuideng, the man in front of her who had called her "little girl" since they met, had sharp and distinct features on his face, and his facial features had become much more mature, especially his eyes, which suddenly contained too much content, as deep as an ancient well with no bottom to be seen.
Ye Xiaoman was caught off guard, as if she was thrown into an ice bucket in the middle of winter, and the blood in her body quickly cooled down.
The setting sun took back its last ray of light, and the sky and the earth were shrouded in darkness.
Every household lit up the lights.
A faded red lantern hung at the door of the Zhu family's house, swaying left and right in the night wind, and the dim light barely illuminated the three-acre land in front of the door.
Ye Xiaoman looked down, and she was horrified to find that there were two shadows of lights on the ground, but only her shadow.
Damn it—literally.
She saw Yue Mushan push open the door and walk out, taking down the lantern at the door. He had been waiting for her for a long time, and he felt a little heavy-hearted, so he went out to look for her.
"Amu..." she couldn't help but shout out.
Yue Mushan seemed not to have seen her at all, but automatically moved around them who were blocking the way, turned right and walked into the long alley.
Only then did Ye Xiaoman realize that she and Zhu Chuideng were like being wrapped in a transparent bubble, isolated from the world. The surrounding sounds could not come in, and her voice could not be heard out.
No one could detect her presence.
She was about to die, she was targeted by the ghost master.
Like a pest being sniped, the red laser dot of the aiming device was aimed at her.
This really makes my spine cold and my heart chilled.
Why did the Ghost Master arrive at the scene sooner than Jing Zhui expected? Where had the young man Zhu Chuideng gone? Ye Xiaoman had no time to think about anything else. She only knew that if she didn't save herself, she would die.
Due to his own special experience, the Ghost Lord hates people who covet treasures and deceive others with false intentions, especially morally corrupt and unscrupulous monks.
In order to get the Ghost Lord's treasure, she cheated on him without any guilt and everything she did unfortunately hit the Ghost Lord's sore spot.
After Ye Xiaoman realized the truth, her undershirt was soaked with cold sweat in an instant, but she remained calm, pretending to be confused. She waved at Yue Mushan's back and muttered to herself:
"Strange, is Amu deaf?"
Zhu Chuideng seemed to have seen through all of Ye Xiaoman's disguises, "Little girl, admit your mistake."
"Uncle is in a better mood now, maybe he will let you go."
Ye Xiaoman was startled.
Currently, she has three options.
Option A: When the matter was exposed, he turned around and ran away.
She has 3 seconds to escape when the Ghost Lord is not prepared. As long as she runs fast enough, death cannot catch up with her.
Option B: Kneel down immediately, confess everything, admit your mistakes, and gain the ghost master's forgiveness.
Option C: Stick to it.
Teacher Ye didn't know what her friends would choose. Her brain quickly calculated and came up with Mars. Within 1 second of guessing the identity of the ghost master, she decisively chose option C.
This place is the ghost lord's memory place. The ghost lord has absolute control over it, and she can't escape from his palm at all.
Kneeling down to apologize is even more unreasonable. An apology is only necessary if the mistake has already been made. If she admits her mistake, it means that she knowingly committed the crime and knowing the seriousness of the matter, but still chose to hurt others out of greed.
People like Zhu Chuideng are very morally obsessed.
Moreover, those in power are basically result-oriented. Most weak people always think that as long as they bow down in time and shed tears to express how miserable and pitiful they are, the strong will empathize with them, show sympathy, and let them go. In fact, this is not the case.
Most strong people only care about gains and losses and have little empathy. They only care about whether their own interests and dignity are damaged. They don't crush ants, either because they find it troublesome or because they don't want to be accused of bullying the weak and suffer reputational bankruptcy.
So if you want a strong person to let you go, the idea is not how to kowtow loudly, but to let the strong person know:
First, you didn't cause him much loss. Second, rats that go barefoot in the sewers are not afraid of rats wearing shoes. If they are driven crazy, they will bite people and spread germs. If they continue to make things difficult for you, his losses will be greater than his gains.
