As soon as Shen Qingshang said that, the atmosphere instantly froze.
Wang Ye and Shen Qingshang looked at each other, unable to say a word.
For a moment, the dilapidated hall was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
In the silent air, only two words filled the air:
Awkward!
So f * cking awkward!
At this moment, Wang Ye was really embarrassed to the extreme.
He originally wanted to use the excuse of being possessed by a ghost to fool Shen Qingshang.
In case she went out and talked nonsense and exposed his whereabouts.
In the end, not only did this girl not fall for it, but she also exposed him on the spot.
This was f * cking awkward. His mother hugged him and cried awkwardly. So awkward!
Hahaha …
At the same time, Wang Ye let out a series of laughter.
He looked at Shen Qingshang in front of him and said, "Sure enough, it's just as I thought …
"The juniors of my sect are indeed carefree and unrestrained. They are straightforward people who disdain flattery!
"But girl, you have to understand that the Jianghu is treacherous and dangerous. If you come and go directly, you will be at a disadvantage!
"So we have to learn to be shrewd and hide a gully in our hearts!
"There are some things that even if you see through, you can't say it out loud. Only then can you be like a fish in water in the Jianghu and succeed in every endeavor!
"I'm teaching by example to enlighten you!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye said meaningfully.
This appearance was very much like a senior teaching a junior.
He hoped to use this method to resolve the awkwardness!
"I see!"
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Shen Qingshang nodded as if she understood something.
At the same time, she looked at Wang Ye and said, "Qingshang will follow the Lord's teachings!"
"Mm, smart!"
Hearing Shen Qingshang's words, Wang Ye nodded.
At the same time, he let out a long breath in his heart.
Damn it …
I can reverse such an awkward situation. I'm really a f * cking genius!
"The Lord's actions should be to cover up the awkwardness …"
Looking at the expression on Wang Ye's face, Shen Qingshang's heart skipped a beat. "I didn't say it out loud. This should be seeing through but not saying it out loud …"
Shen Qingshang shook his head.
At this moment, she looked at Wang Ye and said, "Since that's the case, shouldn't we return, Saint?"
"What's the hurry?"
Hearing Shen Qingshang's words, Wang Ye said, "I still have things to do here!"
"Pick up the rope on the ground and tie me to the pillar …"
？？？
The moment Wang Ye's words came out, Shen Qingshang could not help being stunned.
Even in her dreams, she never thought that a dignified saint would actually have such a request.
"Sage, why is that?"
Looking at Wang Ye, Shen Qingshang could not help but ask.
"Aiya, can't you be a little smarter …"
At this moment, Wang Ye looked at Shen Qingshang and said, "I'm the owner of an inn. Because of you two, we were captured by thieves. Will Sword Saint and Zhang Daoxuan come to save us?"
"Yes … yes …"
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Shen Qingshang opened her mouth and replied.
Shen Tulong's martial arts were stronger than her and Si Jianming's.
If Sword Saint knew that she was here to save people, he would definitely come to save her.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingshang was even more confused about what Wang Ye wanted to do.
"That's right!"
Hearing this, Wang Ye slapped his thigh and said, "I suffered because of the two of you. As my master and martial uncle, shouldn't they compensate me?"
！！！
Hearing this, Shen Qingshang suddenly understood.
She looked at Wang Ye and said in shock, "Sage, you're not going to blackmail Sword Saint and the rest, are you?"
As she spoke, her beautiful face was filled with shock.
"Aiya, how can you say that?"
Hearing Shen Qingshang's words, Wang Ye said, "I'm a dignified saint. Why would I blackmail them?"
"I'm doing this to hide my identity!"
"Hide your identity?"
Hearing Wang Ye's words, Shen Qingshang was puzzled.
"That's right!"
At this moment, Wang Ye responded.
He raised his head, put his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "I'm already tired of the fighting and killing in the martial world. Now, I just want to be an honest ordinary person …"
"Since you're an ordinary person, isn't it reasonable to ask for some money as compensation?"
"Yes … Yes …"
Shen Qingshang replied, but her mind was blank.
The sage in front of her seemed to be different from what she imagined …
"So …"
Hearing Shen Qingshang's words, Wang Ye opened his mouth and said, "Quickly tie me to the pillar!"
"This way, I can ask for more money later … Hide it deeper …"
As he spoke, Wang Ye leaned against the pillar, waiting for Shen Qingshang to tie him up.
"Okay … Okay …"
Looking at Wang Ye in front of her, Shen Qingshang responded.
She picked up the rope on the ground and tied Wang Ye to the pillar.
"By the way, don't tell anyone about my identity …"
At this moment, Wang Ye said to Shen Qingshang, "Not even Sword Saint or Si Jianming …"
"As you wish, Sage …"
At this moment, Shen Qingshang agreed.
After she tied Wang Ye to the pillar, she opened her mouth and said, "Sage, it's done …"
"Mm, sit down cross-legged and circulate your Qi. Leave the rest to me!"
Hearing this, Shen Qingshang was slightly stunned.
Although she had her doubts, she still followed Wang Ye's instructions and sat down cross-legged to circulate her Qi.
After a while, Wang Ye leaned against the pillar drowsily.
Buzz!
At this moment, there was a sound.
Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw that Sword Saint and Zhang Daoxuan had already arrived at the main hall.
At this moment, Sword Saint and Zhang Daoxuan's faces were glowing, and they were in high spirits.
"Aiyo, Lord Sword Saint, Zhang Daozhang, you're finally here!"
After seeing Sword Saint and Zhang Daoxuan, Wang Ye was instantly energized. "Hurry up and save me!"
Seeing Wang Ye's appearance, Sword Saint raised his hand and released a burst of energy.
In an instant, the rope on Wang Ye's body broke.
"Shopkeeper Wang, are you alright?"
The moment the rope broke, Sword Saint went up to support Wang Ye and asked.
Just as Sword Saint supported Wang Ye, a familiar scent of rouge and powder wafted over.
Smelling the scent of rouge and powder, Wang Ye immediately reacted.
Damn it …
No wonder it was Si Jianming and Shen Qingshang who came to save him.
In the end, Sword Saint and Zhang Daoxuan went to visit a brothel!
This time, I'm going to rip you off!
"How can I be alright!"
Thinking of this, Wang Ye said, "I was kidnapped and brought here in the morning. I haven't eaten anything all day!"
"That Shen Tulong beat and scolded me and even threatened me …"
"If Heroine Shen hadn't risked her life to kill Shen Tulong, I would have gone to meet the King of Hell right now!"
"I'm just the owner of an inn, doing my job properly. Who did I offend?"
"Lord Sword Saint, you have to take responsibility for this!"
As he spoke, Wang Ye's expression was like a shrew who had been wronged.
