Chapter 281: The Pawnshop and Lingering Thoughts

"Master does not trust me?"

"This is not a matter of whether I trust you or not. A good man should be self disciplined. How can he rely on someone else to watch over him all the time?"

Ye Shiyuan remained very patient as if Bai He’s reasoning was quite interesting.

"Then does Master think I am one?"

"One what?"

"A good man."

"How would I know? That requires long term observation before a conclusion can be made. I cannot casually jump to conclusions right now."

When Ye Shiyuan looked at his puffed-up cheeks and slightly angry expression he felt happy instead.

"When I was watching this wedding, I kept thinking about what my wedding with Master would be like. Last night I even tried using Second Elder’s dream to practice it. Only then did I realize that without ever seeing it in person, it is impossible to create a truly perfect wedding."

Ye Shiyuan also felt that the wedding in last night’s dream was not as good as the one in front of him now.

"However, I think if I were given another chance, it would be better than this one."

"How do I know whether what you are saying is true or not?"

"Master, if you were willing to let me use my dream technique on you, it might not be impossible to verify."

Bai He immediately waved his hands.

"No, absolutely not."

A person’s dreams could reveal far too many things.

Right now, in front of Ye Shiyuan, he could still barely disguise himself.

But if he could freely enter and leave his dreams, then he would have no privacy at all.

"Master is hiding something from me."

"I already said no. If you have the ability, then make me look at your dream instead."

Ye Shiyuan pressed his lips together and Bai He pressed on relentlessly.

"See? You also refuse."

However, Ye Shiyuan’s refusal and Bai He’s refusal were clearly not the same kind of refusal at all.

"Master, I will take you around for a walk."

Ye Shiyuan changed the topic, clearly unwilling to continue this discussion.

Bai He nodded and agreed.

Of course he could not let Bai He see his dream.

What if what his Master saw was not the version of himself he imagined?

Ye Shiyuan had always known that he was not as good as Bai He thought he was.

He also had a cruel side, a dark side, and aspects of himself that others would despise.

And his Master, on the other hand, was always so beautiful.

Those dark, shadowed things, how could he possibly let his Master see them?

Ye Shiyuan’s peripheral vision fell on Bai He who wore a bright smile on his face.

His Master did not need to do anything.

He only needed to remain happy and carefree like this forever.

Suddenly, Bai He turned his head and looked at him.

Ye Shiyuan immediately averted his gaze, but he still caught a glimpse of the deeply obscure expression in his eyes.

Ye Shiyuan had something on his mind.

Bai He was certain of it in his heart, but he had no evidence.

Ye Shiyuan knew that Bai He was very interested in certain spiritual fruits, so he brought him to a shop called Thousand Spirit Fruits.

The shop owner was a woman.

Her dress was simple and plain.

Although she was somewhat older in age, she still retained a charming elegance.

She held a round silk fan in her hand and wore a warm smiling expression.

Bai He saw snow peaches, his favorite fruit, but they were extremely difficult to cultivate.

Ye Shiyuan bought some and intended to plant them beside the Tree’s Coreflame.

Originally, Bai He had only lent the Tree’s Coreflame to Elder Yao for a period of time.

But after he left Lingguang Sect to cultivate in the Frostfall Domain, he secretly went there several times.

Even the medicine Ye Shiyuan had planted there, originally meant to help him grow faster, had been taken over by Elder Yao.

Not only that, after Ye Shiyuan returned, he showed no remorse.

However, Ye Shiyuan did not care, so he did not bother arguing either.

In fact, it was not entirely a bad thing.

In the future, if he needed medicinal herbs, he could ask him for them, and Elder Yao would likely not have the face to refuse.

But now, if Elder Yao knew that Ye Shiyuan planned to plant snow peaches beside the Tree’s Coreflame, he did not know how much he would disdain it.

Ye Shiyuan bought several fruit trees.

Bai He touched his bracelet, calculating how much money he had brought this time, wondering if it would be enough.

However, Ye Shiyuan had already paid it.

Seeing Bai He still in a daze, Ye Shiyuan urged him.

"Master, is there anything else you want?"

"Where did you get the money?"

Where did Ye Shiyuan get the money?

"From the time I spent in Spirit Pagoda. I earned it."

"Oh."

"If Master feels short on money, after we return, you can casually take some medicinal materials and sell them. You should be able to earn quite a sum."

Bai He’s eyes immediately lit up.

"Then did you bring any with you?"

Ye Shiyuan pressed his lips together and took out a few stalks.

These were kept as backup in case of emergencies.

Bai He took them from his hand.

"Let’s go exchange them for money at the pawnshop."

If he had no money, Bai He always felt uncomfortable doing anything.

He decided that after returning, he would exchange medicinal materials for money and repay Yao Guang’s funds as well, so he would no longer feel indebted to her.

At the largest pawnshop in the entire Nianbadu Ancient Town.

Yes, there was even a pawnshop here.

Anything could be pawned here as long as you had it.

The pawnshop would automatically evaluate its value, but if you wanted to retrieve it later, it would become extremely difficult.
