Meanwhile, after Mu Anxiao's words, Zhao Xiang completely lost his basic reason and had arrived outside the coachman's room.
He then asked breathlessly, "You lied to me, didn't you?"
Inside the room.
Ouyang Ye put down the brush in his hand and stared at the calligraphy he had just finished writing, without speaking.
Hearing no reply from Ouyang Ye, Zhao Xiang became even angrier. "I'm asking you, can you give me a reply, just one word."
Listening to Zhao Xiang's agitated shouts, Ouyang Ye snorted, stood up, turned towards the door, and waved his hand. The door opened automatically.
Immediately, Zhao Xiang's angry expression was deeply imprinted in Ouyang Ye's eyes. "..."
Zhao Xiang frowned. "I'm talking to you, why aren't you replying?" As he stepped forward, a red light suddenly shot down from the sky, blocking him. He hastily retreated two steps. "What are you doing?" xxs壹贰
Ouyang Ye said calmly, "Friend, you are angry right now. If I let you in, wouldn't I be asking for trouble?"
Zhao Xiang replied, "You and I are not friends."
"What do you mean?" Ouyang Ye asked intentionally.
Zhao Xiang sneered, "If you were friends, you wouldn't have lied to me."
"You are friends with Shen Moyun, and I haven't seen you... tell Shen Moyun the truth either," Ouyang Ye deliberately retorted to provoke Zhao Xiang.
Zhao Xiang said, "That was because I had no choice, but you are different, you did it on purpose."
"I also had no choice."
"You..."
"What about you? If I say that you have a demon soul, you are a monster, would you still be able to revive?" Ouyang Ye interrupted, his expression indifferent.
"I... don't know."
"If you don't know, then you won't. Don't forget what you told me when you were revived."
"I haven't forgotten."
"Since you haven't forgotten, then repeat what you told me back then," Ouyang Ye said coldly.
Zhao Xiang's eyes flickered slightly, but he still said, "I hope you save me. I don't want my parents to be sad or upset because of me. I want to live so that I can properly fulfill my filial duties to them."
"You indeed haven't forgotten. However, what you've said now lacks the emotion you had back then. I remember," Ouyang Ye said, placing the brush on the table, and continued, "You cried, you cried hysterically. Now... it's too calm."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"It's been quite some time since then, so asking you to cry is impossible. Here's what you should do," Ouyang Ye said coldly, "Kneel down."
"What?"
Ouyang Ye said coldly, "I said, kneel down and kowtow three times to me, and this matter will be settled."
"You..."
"Hurry up, my patience is limited. If you don't do as I say," Ouyang Ye looked down at his ink-stained palm, "I will kill you and leave you with no place to be buried."
Zhao Xiang knew that Ouyang Ye would do as he said.
So, without thinking, he knelt down. "Alright, I'll do as you say." As he spoke, he was about to kowtow.
Seeing this, Ouyang Ye deliberately called out, "Stop."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiang quickly paused his movement, looked up at Ouyang Ye, and asked, "What is it?"
"You knelt before Mu Xiao."
"Yes."
"Then kowtow six times."
"Huh?"
"What 'huh'? Since you've already knelt, you must show sincerity. Kowtow," Ouyang Ye deliberately made things difficult for Zhao Xiang.
Zhao Xiang's eyes darkened, and he began to kowtow.
After completing the six kowtows, Ouyang Ye removed the red light blocking the door.
Zhao Xiang looked up at Ouyang Ye and said, "I was wrong."
"Wrong about what?"
"I came back and found you without understanding the situation, wasting your time, and saying such harsh words to you. I was wrong," Zhao Xiang said, still not daring to get up.
Ouyang Ye walked to the doorstep and looked down at Zhao Xiang, who was admitting his mistakes, and said intentionally, "Remember, you must use your brain for everything. Don't act on impulse, otherwise," he said, "you will offend many people. Look, you have offended me this time."
"Master, I was wrong," Zhao Xiang said, his voice hoarse.
Ouyang Ye replied, "I don't blame you, it's just the rules. You must understand them. Disrupting the rules," he shook his head slightly, "is not good."
"Yes, Master."
"Get up." Ouyang Ye completely disregarded whether Zhao Xiang's legs were numb.
Zhao Xiang's eyes darkened. He didn't dare to disobey Ouyang Ye. He endured the numbness and pain in his legs and stood up. "Master, what... is... your..." he gritted his teeth, frowning, "command?"
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Ye asked knowingly, looking down at Zhao Xiang's legs.
Zhao Xiang, afraid that Ouyang Ye might do something, said, "Nothing."
"Nothing? It looks like you're in a lot of pain," Ouyang Ye said, reaching out to tease Zhao Xiang.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiang quickly said, "Don't."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Ye retracted his foot and looked at Zhao Xiang, who was forcing a smile. "Your smile is worse than no smile," he said, pointing at Zhao Xiang's leg, "What's wrong? Is it numb?"
"It's numb."
"Good, turn around."
"Huh?"
"Turn around, I don't want to see your face."
Zhao Xiang, hearing Ouyang Ye's disdainful command, his eyes darkened. Enduring all difficulties, he slowly turned around.
Ouyang Ye stared at the back of Zhao Xiang's head, saying nothing.
After a few minutes.
Zhao Xiang turned around and said with a silly grin, "Thank you, Master."
"You're welcome, but why are you grinning like an idiot?" Ouyang Ye said, then thought for a moment and asked, "Did Mu Xiao tell you?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiang came back to his senses and nodded.
Ouyang Ye continued, "She said you are a monster."
Zhao Xiang replied, "Mm." "She said that since I have a demon soul, I've become a monster."
"This girl's mouth really can talk," Ouyang Ye muttered, sighed, and asked, "Did you go to find her?"
"Mm, I felt that Moyun was with her, so I went. Who knew she wasn't there."
"It's good that she wasn't there," Ouyang Ye said, glancing at Gu Yan, who had stopped in front of Zhao Xiang. "What's wrong?"
"I want to report something," Gu Yan said angrily.
Ouyang Ye looked at the very angry Gu Yan with great interest and said, "Tell me."
Gu Yan ignored Zhao Xiang and said, "Mu Xiao said that I like you and that she wanted to tell you about it." She was worried that Mu Anxiao would spread rumors first, so to prevent Mu Anxiao from reporting her first, she decided to speak up.
Ouyang Ye frowned upon hearing this. "She told you that."
"Yes," Gu Yan nodded.
Ouyang Ye thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I understand. You two carry on with your work."
"Yes," they both said in unison, then walked away without looking at each other.
Ouyang Ye stood still, thinking about the mess Mu Anxiao had caused. He lowered his head, smiled, and muttered, "Mu Anxiao, she really knows how to talk nonsense." Shaking his head slightly, he turned and entered the room, and the door automatically closed.
