Chapter 26 : Cheating (Part 2)

Ye Sui withdrew her sight and was just about to continue when a voice rang out from the direction of the Taoist priest, “Young lady, please stay.”

Ye Sui looked around. Apart from Chen Shu, there was no one else. She raised her finger and pointed at herself, “Me?”

“Yes, Young lady. You.” The Taoist priest calmly answered. ‘In this entire street, those who are well-off and easy to swindle, and that means it’s you.’

Ye Sui looked at the sky; it was still early, and there was still time to seek for a talisman. Ye Sui looked at Chen Shu and asked, “Should we go and have a look?”

It was natural to say it.

Ye sui sat in front of the Taoist priest while Chen Shu sat beside her. The priest said, “You two appeared to have a good fortune at first glance.”

Who didn’t like to hear kind words?

Though the young lady was wearing a mask and covered most of her face, she was definitely a beauty. And the man was also handsome; he has never seen such a beautiful couple before.

The Taoist priest first gave Ye Sui a look, then gave another to Chen Shu before he spoke mysteriously, “Do you know that you two had a previous marriage?”

(E/N: meant they were married in the past life)

Little couples always liked this routine, so this trick would surely be useful.

Ye Sui’s eyes widened. ‘You old fart, my soul just transmigrated! And you’re telling me about previous marriages? Liar! You are extremely deceiving! I don’t believe you!’

Ye Sui just stood up and wanted to leave directly.

The Taoist priest knew that he had messed up when he opened his mouth. He couldn’t help it and took out his final move. “Young lady, wait. Can you listen to this sentence before you go?”

Ye Sui took a look at Chen Shu to ask his opinion. Chen Shu raised his eyebrows and said softly, “Listen if you like.” If she didn’t want to listen, just leave.

Ye Sui wanted to leave but sat down. She wanted to hear what the man would say, “And then?”

The Taoist priest turned his eyes, stroked his beard, and pretended to be profound, “You two were both of high status in past lives.”

Ye Sui raised a question, determined to get to the bottom of things, “Was the status high? How high? Was I a princess or a young lady of some high official? Why don’t you enlighten me?”

The Taoist priest hurriedly motioned with his hand, looking as if the mysteries of heaven must not be revealed. “I can’t say. I’m afraid I’ll lose my life if I elaborate too much.”

“Once, my eyes were blinded by the heavens because I revealed too much.” He wouldn’t admit that the eyepatch was just a disguise to appear blind. He wore an eyepatch on hot days and almost suffered from the prickly heat.

Ye Sui sneered inside her heart. ‘Liar! You still continue to fabricate things.’

The Taoist Priest continued, “You had a lot of trouble in your previous lives, and it was tough to get together. In this life too, you need some expert advice to get through the difficulties.”

The meaning in words was that a competent person was before them, and they should pay him to get some advice.

Ye Sui frankly answered, “But I like to do things by myself. The more troublesome things I get, the more challenged I feel. It is too simple to achieve the goal if there are no obstacles on your path. It’s just not interesting.”

The Taoist priest was unable to refute. “…”

Chen Shu found this conversation interesting. He did not make a sound and continued to spectate.

The Taoist Priest’s plan failed, so he had to make another move. He clasped his hands together and shook his head with his eyes closed, “It’s not good. It’s not good at all.”

The Taoist Priest said with great solemness, “Providence told me that you’ve recently seen the Red Dragon Star move. Therefore, you will experience some things that may hinder your feelings.”

Ye Sui curled her lips. He said the relationship would face some difficulties. She became angry and pointed to Chen Shu sitting beside her.

“I already have a husband. How can the Red Dragon Star still move? I’m married, and my relationship is going well, so I don’t need anyone to worry about it. “

(T/N:Constellation :LInk

Hearing the words “my husband”, Chen Shu looked at Ye Sui. His eyes gradually deepened and became inexplicable.

Next, whenever the Taoist priest said a word, Ye Sui would also say a word and continued to break down his facade. The Taoist priest became more and more embarrassed. He looked at Chen Shu for help, hoping he would stop Ye Sui.

Chen Shu didn’t look at anyone, just staring at Ye Sui. He sat there quietly with his arms on his chest, looking elegant and refined like a gentleman.

However, this time, Ye Sui regarded the Taoist as a scoundrel, and Chen Shu didn’t speak at all. His lip angle was slightly tilted with a casual smile.

It seemed that no matter what Ye Sui said and did, he would indulge her.

The Taoist priest suffered defeat after defeat, and his face became dejected. ‘Please give me a break. If I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t do this business.’

Ye Sui felt refreshed, breathed a sigh of relief, and went out. Before Chen Shu left, he stood up, walked to the table, lowered his eyes, and said, “It’s a good story.

“But… it’s fake.” Chen Shu

But previous marriages, Red Dragon Star, these words sounded very pleasant to Chen Shu. He raised his hand and put some money on the table.

Chen Shu put down the money and turned to leave. His back was tall and indifferent as a careless voice sounded in the air, “I think this money is just enough for you to buy some water.”

The thirsty Taoist priest, who was about to burst into flames, was suddenly hit in the head by the profit! He picked up the money and counted it. The man was indeed wealthy. This, this… was worth the money he set up a stall for a month!

Chen Shu and Ye Sui walked ahead and went to the Taoist temple to ask for a talisman. Ye Sui tightly held his hand, feeling a lot at ease.

Ye Sui looked up at Chen Shu. The ceiling was very high, and against the light, his nose was straight, his chin was clear, and his lips were close when he was not laughing.

‘This man is a bit too handsome.’

Ye Sui asked in a trance, “What do you think? Do people really have past lives?” Though the Taoist was a scoundrel, Ye Sui’s curiosity was stimulated, and she could not help thinking about everything.

Chen Shu leaned towards her and looked into her eyes. Ye Sui was wearing a mask, so only a pair of beautiful eyes were exposed. Those eyes were eagerly staring at him, waiting for his answer.

Chen Shu: “Do you want to know?”

Ye Sui nodded, “Of course.”

Chen Shu suddenly smiled, “Do you think I believed it?”

Ye Sui thought about it and shook her head. Chen Shu’s yang energy was so abundant that he didn’t even believe in ghosts, let alone past lives.

Ye Sui walked on and stretched her body, “I don’t believe it either. Even if there was a previous life, every life has to be lived in earnest and without regret.”

Chen Shu saw Ye Sui holding the talisman charm all the time, so he asked, “Are you still afraid?”

Ye sui really wanted to say, ‘Yes, I’m afraid! Why?’ She was so scared that she almost wanted to stay in a place where ghosts could neither see her nor come out.

Ye Sui gripped the talisman tightly. “Not afraid,” she said against her conscience.

Chen Shu looked calm, and his voice seemed to ring in Ye Sui’s ear. “Are you really not afraid?”

Ye Sui did not speak. At this time, Chen Shu suddenly said, “I will come back early.” The voice had just fallen when Chen Shu walked straight ahead. He made it appear like a casual remark.

Ye Sui was stunned, the words still echoing in her mind. She stood still and did not move.

Chen Shu tilted his head and looked at Ye Sui from the corner of his eyes. “Can’t keep up?”

Ye Sui snapped back to her senses, snorted, and hastily sped up to catch up with him. She went to Chen Shu’s side, and the two walked side by side.

It was nearly dusk, and white clouds were floating in the sky. The air was clear and filled with fragrance from flowers. The sunset stretched their silhouettes, deeply reflecting on the ground.
