Shen Ye admired his own man’s exquisite beauty for a while before reaching out to him. “Carry me to the shower, we’ll go to Qixian later.”
Ye Ze smiled and leaned down to kiss him before carrying him to the bathroom.
Before leaving, Shen Ye made a phone call to Ning Shihua.
Ning Shihua’s plane arrived in the provincial capital in the morning, and it would take three hours from the provincial capital to Qixian. She was currently on her way back to Qixian and would arrive in the county town soon.
“I’ll be waiting for you and Mr. Ye in the county town,” Ning Shihua said.
She was afraid of being locked up by her parents as soon as she returned, so she wanted to wait for Shen Ye and Ye Ze to return home together.
Shen Ye didn’t object, saying, “You’ll definitely arrive before us. Find a place to sit and wait for us, and remember to send me your location.”
After making the arrangements, they hung up the phone.
Shen Ye leaned on Ye Ze’s shoulder and said, “I want to rest for two months when we get back.”
Although he had already used magic to relieve his fatigue and absorbed a large amount of purple aura yesterday while driving with Ye Ze, he had already recovered from the fatigue.
But he still felt a bit depressed mentally.
His Dao Heart had always been stable, but perhaps because he had already integrated into this world, the incident yesterday had a somewhat significant impact on him.
He didn’t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, and whether it would affect his cultivation in the future.
After all, the Dao was merciless, and being overly sentimental was not a good thing.
However… he had already married Ye Ze, and he had already stepped into the mortal world. If he couldn’t achieve the Dao in the future, it didn’t seem to matter… being together with Ye Ze was already good enough.
With this thought, Shen Ye’s mood improved a lot, and he hugged Ye Ze’s waist tightly, saying, “Uncle, I feel very happy being with you.”
Ye Ze didn’t quite understand why Shen Ye suddenly had such emotions, but since Shen Ye said so, he naturally felt happy too.
“Me too.” He kissed the child’s face affectionately, his tone very solemn.
Shen Ye couldn’t help but smile.
“How about we go abroad for two months?” Ye Ze held his hand and asked softly.
It was summer vacation now, and Shen Ye had time, and he could also arrange his work here.
Shen Ye shook his head, swaying it in Ye Ze’s arms. “I’m just kidding. Two months is too long, and I can’t stay idle myself.”
Moreover, when they open the passage between the two realms in the future, he and Ye Ze would have plenty of time to travel to different realms.
Seeing that he couldn’t muster any enthusiasm, Ye Ze didn’t say much. He just kissed his forehead and said softly, “I’ll listen to you.”
The two of them chatted sweetly, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived in Qixian.
It was now after three in the afternoon, and Ning Shihua was waiting for them at a small teahouse.
After meeting, Ning Shihua whispered, “Master Shen, I’m sorry. I’ve already called my parents and told them about coming home, but I didn’t mention you and Mr. Ye…”
Mainly because of the incident with the talisman water last time, her parents were a little afraid of Shen Ye. If they knew Shen Ye was coming to their home, they would definitely object.
“It’s fine. I actually wanted you to keep it from them too, so they wouldn’t report to that fairy sister,” Shen Ye replied. His purpose for going to Ning Shihua’s hometown was to deal with that fairy sister, and it had nothing to do with Ning Shihua’s parents.
Hearing him say this, Ning Shihua couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“If it’s inconvenient, we won’t go to your house. I can go directly to find that fairy sister,” Shen Ye said, not wanting to make things difficult for Ning Shihua.
But Ning Shihua said, “No, that won’t do. You’re helping me with this matter, how can I leave you behind? My parents are stubborn, but I’m mentally prepared… Don’t worry, I won’t let them give you and Mr. Ye a hard time.”
She didn’t mention what mental preparations she had made, but Shen Ye understood what she meant.
Ning’s father and mother are very stubborn people, and Shen Ye could tell from their expressions that they had never given up on forcing Ning Shihua to marry.
And Ning Shihua definitely knew this too, so she was mentally prepared to break ties with her parents.
It only took forty-five minutes from the county to the town, and soon the car arrived at the entrance of Ning’s self-built house.
When Father Ning and Mother Ning heard the sound of the car, they ran out to greet Ning Shihua.
However, as soon as they saw Shen Ye and Ye Ze getting out of the car behind Ning Shihua, the smiles on Father Ning and Mother Ning’s faces immediately disappeared.
Ning Shihua pretended not to see their reaction and introduced, “Dad, Mom, this is Master Shen and Mr. Ye, whom you have met before.”
Her parents remained silent, looking very awkward.
Shen Ye shrugged, already understanding why they were feeling so awkward from Father Ning and Mother Ning’s expressions.
“Let’s go inside first,” Shen Ye smiled and said.
It was clear that Father Ning and Mother Ning were not welcoming Shen Ye and Ye Ze’s arrival. Under normal circumstances, Shen Ye wouldn’t be so tactless as to enter the house when the hosts were unwelcoming.
But after seeing Father Ning and Mother Ning’s expressions, Shen Ye decided to stay.
Because he knew that if he left, Ning Shihua would definitely suffer.
Father Ning and Mother Ning didn’t show any intention of inviting them inside and continued to stand in the yard, saying with some embarrassment, “We have guests at home… How about you take Master Shen and Mr. Ye to the teahouse in town and wait until the guests leave before coming back?”
“There’s no teahouse in town,” Ning Shihua raised an eyebrow. “Guests? What guests? I’m also part of the Ning family. Why won’t you let me meet the guests? Am I not good enough to be seen?”
“No… no…” Father Ning and Mother Ning were particularly embarrassed, still standing in their original spots.
Shen Ye sneered, “What guests? It’s the fairy sister who is in your house.”
Ning Shihua had originally guessed that her parents had invited a matchmaker to the house and were embarrassed after being caught by Shen Ye and Ye Ze. But she didn’t expect it to be the fairy sister in her house.
She was always clever, and immediately guessed what was going on. She turned to her parents and asked, “Did you receive my call, knowing that I was coming home, and invited the fairy sister to come and draw talismans to force me into marriage?”
This was much more serious than just inviting a matchmaker!
Inviting a matchmaker for marriage, whether it was appropriate or not, would at least give her some buffer time.
But inviting the fairy sister to force her into marriage meant that her parents were determined not to let her return to Hai City. Perhaps her parents had invited the fairy sister to keep her locked up at home…
Thinking of this, Ning Shihua couldn’t help but clench her fists.
Although she had already mentally prepared herself and knew that her parents wouldn’t easily give up, she never expected that the first thing waiting for her when she returned home would be the fairy sister.
She was furious and shocked, staring at her parents, hoping that they would deny it.
But Father Ning and Mother Ning avoided her gaze, not daring to meet her eyes.
Tears instantly welled up in Ning Shihua’s eyes. She took a deep breath and turned to Shen Ye, saying, “Master Shen, I will use all the money I have earned in my life as compensation. I hope you can help me break free from my parents.”
Before returning home, she had fantasized that after the last incident, her parents would at least not pressure her anymore. Even if they wanted her to get married, they would use a gentle approach.
But what happened? They actually invited the fairy sister to wait for her at home!
If Shen Ye hadn’t come, she would have been controlled by the fairy sister at home and could only obey her parents’ wishes.
Her parents would probably find a random man and let the fairy sister control her into marrying him!
Just thinking about it made her shudder.
How could her parents be so horrifying? She couldn’t accept it. Right now, she just wanted to cut off all ties with them completely.
Consider her unfilial, she never wanted to see them again, never wanted to say another word to them…
Ning Shihua trembled as she held onto the car door next to her.
Today, she had returned alone, without her manager or assistant by her side. She didn’t even have anyone to confide in.
Although Shen Ye and Ye Ze were good people, they were men and privileged individuals. They might not fully understand her feelings…
She tried to hold back her tears and said to Shen Ye again, “Master Shen, please, help me…”
Marriage was not a bad thing, and she had never opposed it. If she met the right person, she would choose to marry and have children. But the problem was, she had already told her parents that she didn’t want to get married at this stage, let alone casually be with some man just because of a blind date.
She was saddened and shocked that her parents not only didn’t support or understand her but also stubbornly pushed her into a pit!
Under normal circumstances, if their daughter didn’t want to get married, parents might be anxious, but they wouldn’t directly force her, right?
Her parents had gone crazy…
Shen Ye glanced at her, placed a talisman on her, and said, “Calm down. Your parents are in the wrong, and if you want to sever ties with them, I will definitely help you. But now the more important thing is to deal with the fairy sister. I can assure you that your parents have a reason for wanting you to get married, and the fairy sister is constantly instigating them.”
Ning Shi Hua frowned, “Why is she instigating my parents? It’s none of her business whether I get married or not!”
Shen Ye replied, “I told you before, her daughter is not living well, and she’s jealous of you.” He paused and added, “But I suspect there’s another reason… Let’s go inside first before discussing it.”
Upon hearing his words, Ning Shihua naturally wouldn’t refuse and immediately said, “Okay.”
She didn’t go to look at her parents and directly led Shen Ye and Ye Ze inside.
Father Ning and Mother Ning exchanged glances and reluctantly followed along.
The fairy sister was sitting under the shrine in the main hall, facing the entrance.
She appeared to be in her fifties, dressed in a robe made of red silk.
“You’ve arrived,” the fairy sister stared straight at Shen Ye.
Shen Ye glanced over her face and said, “Oh, so you were specifically waiting for me.”
The fairy sister didn’t deny it and a strange smile curled up at the corners of her mouth. “Yes, I have been waiting for you.”
Shen Ye remarked, “Well, you certainly have some skill, using Ning Shihua as bait to deceive me here.”
The conversation between the two was somewhat eerie, leaving Ning Shihua puzzled. She whispered to Shen Ye, “What does she mean?”
Shen Ye remained silent.
Ning Shihua’s voice grew even softer. “…Did I cause trouble for you?”
If the fairy sister used her as bait to lure Master Shen here… wouldn’t she become the culprit?
Ye Ze, of course, sensed something unusual and gently held onto Shen Ye’s hand.
Shen Ye scratched his finger and smiled as he whispered in Ye Ze’s ear, “Don’t be afraid, this woman is just playing tricks.”
Ye Ze lowered his gaze, staring at their intertwined fingers without saying a word.
But he tightened his grip on Shen Ye’s finger, keeping a vigilant eye on the fairy sister.
He noticed the white mist above the fairy sister’s head, unsure of what it was, but it wasn’t Yin energy or a black aura… He faintly felt a touch of celestial energy.
In other words, the fairy sister was very likely from another world, perhaps even an enemy of Shen Ye…
Ye Ze nearly crushed Shen Ye’s finger in his grip.
Shen Ye was bewildered. Why was his man becoming so tense?
This fairy sister wasn’t that scary!
He was about to say something when suddenly someone outside shouted, “Teacher Ning, are you at home? Is the fairy sister at your place? I need to talk to her.”
