This hotpot restaurant is very famous locally. First, their shuangyuan hotpot clear soup is delicious, made with black-bone chicken, and is particularly fresh; second, the waiters in the restaurant will help you mix the oil sauce, so no matter what flavor you want, they can make it delicious.
When eating hot pot, the oil sauce is the soul.
Chen Ye had heard Cai Zhiwei mention it before and had been thinking about it until now. Today he finally got to try it.
It was past seven in the evening and there were still many customers in the store. The seats they had reserved before were only reserved for them until six o'clock, which meant that they would have to queue if they went there now.
Fortunately, there was Zong Yiming, the all-purpose assistant. I don’t know what method he used, but as soon as Shen Ye and Ye Ze arrived, they had a seat, and it was a small private room.
Hearing that it was a private room, Shen Ye had a brilliant idea and brought the middle-aged Taoist priest in as well.
Next, Shen Ye and Ye Ze ate hot pot, while the middle-aged Taoist priest watched helplessly from the side, smelling the fragrance but unable to taste it.
Chen Ye actually had countless ways to torture the middle-aged Taoist priest, but he felt this method was the best. Seeing but not being able to eat, what a torture that must be!
The middle-aged Taoist priest was indeed tortured. He stared at the mutton rolls and crispy meat in the red soup and kept swallowing his saliva.
"I'm such a genius." Shen Ye couldn't help but praise himself.
Ye Ze: “…”
His child has been naughty again, but as long as the child is happy, he will of course support it.
Shen Ye had a big appetite and said as he ate, "The oil sauce is really well-seasoned, spicy enough."
He told the waiter that he wanted it spicy, and the waiter prepared it to be spicy and fragrant. The tripe and duck intestines dipped in the sauce were simply delicious.
Ye Ze’s oil sauce is slightly spicy and tastes good.
Chen Ye served Ye Ze chicken soup, and added various meats into the clear soup. After they were cooked, he put them into Ye Ze's bowl.
Ye Ze watched him busying himself silently, his brows curved and his eyes showing tenderness.
It doesn't feel bad to be taken care of by a child.
The two of them didn't finish eating until almost nine o'clock.
Ye Ze wiped the corner of Shen Ye’s mouth with a napkin.
Shen Ye obediently let him do what he wanted and said, "We have to find a place to get rid of this Taoist priest."
A hot pot restaurant is definitely not an option. This is a place to eat. How can we let the Taoist priest die here?
He thought about it and decided to go to the middle-aged Taoist's villa. After all, the middle-aged Taoist lived alone and the surroundings were very quiet. It was just a bit far to go there, and after finishing his business, he would probably be home after eleven o'clock.
Ye Ze had no objection. He touched his face and said, "I'll do as you say."
Chen Ye smiled and rubbed his palm: "Fortunately you are with me." Otherwise it would be so boring.
Ye Ze kissed him and took his hand instead: "Let's go."
The middle-aged Taoist priest was controlled by the talisman paper throughout the whole process. He could only follow wherever Chen Ye and Ye Ze went.
Of course he was very scared and wanted to escape, but he could only be crushed by Shen Ye and had no ability to resist at all.
At this moment, he regretted deeply why he didn't stop after being warned by Shen Ye... He could make a lot of money by fortune-telling for wealthy businessmen and noble families, so why did he have to go and harm people with Qin Shuhua?
Could it be...is this his fate?
The middle-aged Taoist priest was very unwilling, but in the end he could only be taken back to his own villa by Shen Ye to face his upcoming fate.
Shen Ye untied the magic spell on the middle-aged Taoist priest and pondered: “You didn’t kill anyone before, why did you want to hurt someone this time?”
Although the middle-aged Taoist priest had always helped the aristocratic family to bully the weak, he had no one on his hands, which was why Shen Ye let him go. This time, the middle-aged Taoist priest helped Qin Shuhua murder the Qian family, and Shen Ye was actually a little curious about his motives.
The middle-aged Taoist priest was finally able to speak, and immediately defended himself: "I was simply possessed by a ghost..."
He was warned by Shen Ye at the time, and he was not convinced, so he wanted to do something rebellious. When Qin Shuhua came to him, he agreed to help Qin Shuhua.
As a result…it hit Shen Ye’s hand again.
It's really unlucky.
"Master Shen, please forgive me again... The Qian family members are all healthy now, and my hands are still clean of blood... I will make up for my mistakes in my next life, and I promise not to do evil again in the future! If I hurt others again, let my soul fly away!" The middle-aged Taoist priest raised his finger and swore to the sky.
Shen Ye narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
He had previously seen the four members of the Qian family being poisoned, and Qian Lisong's forehead was black and his life was in danger, so he was ready to kill the middle-aged Taoist priest. But the problem now was that the middle-aged Taoist priest had no life on his hands. If he forcibly killed the middle-aged Taoist priest, he would be affected by the karma.
However, it was also a fact that the Qian family had suffered a lot in the past few months, so he certainly couldn't let the middle-aged Taoist priest go so easily.
"Okay, I can spare you." Shen Ye said calmly, "But you almost killed five members of the Qian family. You must be punished no matter what."
The middle-aged Taoist priest thought that he was able to survive, which was already a surprise. He immediately said gratefully: "You can punish me in any way you want."
Seeing his good attitude, Shen Ye was quite satisfied: "Then I will destroy your magic and let you taste the feeling of being poisoned."
He likes to fight fire with fire.
Hearing that his cultivation was about to be abolished, the middle-aged Taoist shuddered and begged for mercy: "I rely on my cultivation to make a living. If I lose my magic, how will I live in the future..."
"You are really getting too far." Shen Ye didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he interrupted him with a sneer, waved his hand, and cast a few spells on him.
Don't think he doesn't know that the middle-aged Taoist priest made a lot of money and could live comfortably even if he didn't work in his next life.
Soon, the middle-aged Taoist priest's cultivation was completely destroyed, and he would never be able to practice again.
Then Shen Ye injected the middle-aged Taoist priest with the same poison that the Qian family used: "The dosage I used is very small. Although you will suffer every day, your life will not be in danger."
He didn't want to kill the middle-aged Taoist priest, he just wanted to let the middle-aged Taoist priest taste the feeling of being poisoned.
This poison would torture the body, causing pain in all the internal organs. The middle-aged Taoist priest collapsed on the sofa, clutching his chest, unable to utter a word due to the pain.
"He can't hurt anyone anymore." Chen Ye clapped his hands and walked back to Ye Ze, "Let's go home."
Ye Ze hummed softly, took his hand and walked out.
But when he reached the entrance, Ye Ze suddenly stopped.
Shen Ye looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?"
Ye Ze's eyes fell on the wall on the left side of the door. He stared at it for a long time without saying a word.
Shen Ye became more and more confused, and following his gaze, he saw an ink painting hanging on the wall.
“Uncle, what are you looking at?” Shen Ye whispered in the man’s ear.
After about half a minute, Ye Ze slowly said: "This painting was handed down from the ancestors of the Ye family. It is a landscape painting painted by the ancestor of the Ye family himself."
Shen Ye was extremely surprised.
How come the painting of the Ye family’s ancestor is in the middle-aged Taoist priest’s house?
He suddenly remembered that the Ye family was persecuted by the old Taoist priest ten years ago. Could it be that this middle-aged Taoist priest was the apprentice of the old Taoist priest back then?
No, that's absolutely impossible.
The middle-aged Taoist's facial features showed that there was no karmic relationship between him and the Ye family.
Shen Ye gently squeezed Ye Ze’s fingers and said, “Wait for me to ask what’s going on.”
He walked back to the sofa and wrote a talisman on the middle-aged Taoist priest to relieve his pain.
“Tell me, why is the painting of the Ye family’s ancestor in your hands?” Shen Ye asked.
It took the middle-aged Taoist a long time to wake up from the pain. After understanding what Shen Ye meant, he did not hide anything and confessed frankly: "I know you are looking for Taoist Mingxin. He is very powerful... But at that time, he lost the battle with my master, so he gave this painting to my master."
It turns out that the old Taoist priest who harmed the Ye family was called Taoist Mingxin?
Chen Ye remembered the name and looked up at the middle-aged Taoist priest: “You said that Taoist Mingxin is very powerful, but your master won the battle. In other words, your master is more powerful?”
Middle-aged Taoist priest: "My master was indeed very powerful, but he has passed away due to old age."
Shen Ye looked at his face carefully and found that he was not lying. He said, "Then why didn't you tell me the origin of this painting when I asked you if you knew Mingxin Taoist?"
"I didn't know this painting belonged to the Ye family." The middle-aged Taoist priest said with a bitter face, "If I knew, I would definitely return it to you as soon as possible."
This is also the truth, he doesn't want to offend Shen Ye.
Seeing that he was not lying, Shen Ye let him go and said, “I have to take this painting away today.”
"No problem!" The middle-aged Taoist priest responded hurriedly, hoping that Chen Ye would take it away, otherwise he would be unable to sleep or eat, fearing that Chen Ye would come to take revenge one day.
"In exchange, I will detoxify you." He has always been a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Previously, because of the Qian family's experience, he punished the middle-aged Taoist priest. Now he will not take the middle-aged Taoist priest's things for nothing.
The middle-aged Taoist priest was overjoyed: "Thank you!"
He had only been in pain for a few minutes, but he felt like he was about to go to hell. If he continued in pain like this for the rest of his life, he would probably be tortured to insanity. Now that Shen Ye had helped him detoxify, it was like a ray of hope. How could he not be happy?
He immediately ran to the entrance, took down the ink painting and handed it to Shen Ye.
Chen Ye took it in his hand and cast a talisman on him, removing the poison from his body. He said, "You no longer have any magic skills, so you shouldn't be able to harm anyone in the future. But I still want to warn you, don't let me catch you doing bad things again, otherwise you will end up with your soul torn apart."
"I must be a good person!" The middle-aged Taoist priest was now very afraid of Shen Ye and swore quickly.
He decided to donate half of his money, hoping that his second half of life would be smoother.
Only then did Shen Ye take the painting and walk out of the villa with Ye Ze.
After getting in the car, Shen Ye handed the painting to Ye Ze.
Ye Ze looked at the painting carefully, and after a long while, he put the painting aside and picked up Shen Ye on his lap.
"Thank you." He kissed Shen Ye's ear and whispered, "This painting is actually not worth much, but it was left by our ancestors. To the Ye family, it is more important than all the gold, silver and jewelry. When it was lost, my grandfather was very sad. He said that this painting had been passed down for hundreds of years, but it was lost in his hands. He felt sorry for his ancestors..."
This painting is undoubtedly very important to the Ye family. Grandpa Ye has been thinking about it for ten years, so Ye Ze was shocked when he saw this painting just now.
Shen Ye hugged the man’s waist: “Now that I have it back, grandpa must be very happy.”
He had been thinking that there must be a reason for meeting the middle-aged Taoist priest twice... Now it seems that it was probably to let Ye Ze take back the Ye family's painting.
Ye Ze kissed his lips: "Well, grandpa must be happy."
The two took the painting home. Grandpa Ye was really excited and kept praising Shen Ye. At the end, he said: "It just so happened that we were going back to the imperial capital and found this painting...Ye Ye, you and Xiao Ze are indeed a match made in heaven, and you are also the lucky stars of our Ye family."
If you think about it carefully, maybe this is the destined fate for Shen Ye and Ye Ze.
Shen Ye's eyes were bent into slits by the praise, and he whispered in Ye Ze's ear: "Grandpa is so happy, are you going to give me a reward?"
Ye Ze held his hand and responded slowly: "Yes, there is a reward."
Before going to bed at night, Ye Ze really gave Chen Ye enough rewards, contributing his chest and abdominal muscles, which made Chen Ye bleed from his nose.
If he didn’t have an exam the next morning, Shen Ye would have played until dawn!
For the next two days, Shen Ye was full of enthusiasm, just waiting to finish the last exam and go to the imperial capital.
They had already packed their bags, planning to return to the capital the day after the exams. Grandpa Ye and Grandma Shen naturally went with them, and Xu Sisi and the others also went with them.
Before leaving, Ye Ze asked Shen Ye if he wanted to invite his friends and classmates to go to the imperial capital together.
They will be getting married in a few days, and Shen Ye may want his friends to be there to witness it.
However, Chen Ye thought that he and Ye Ze were just getting a marriage certificate, and the wedding would be held in Haicheng, so he did not invite any classmates.
Thinking about getting married soon and being able to drive soon...Chen Ye has been walking with the wind these past two days.
