13 Bored? Lets Go Make Some Trouble! (1/2)

The reason why Ye Xiao tried to earn some money quickly was so that he could buy some treasures at the auction to feed the spiritual space. He had successfully obtained the money, but now the auction was delayed...

Ten days was not a very long time, but the problem was that, Ye Xiao couldn't wait any longer. Not even one more day!

”By the way, how is the robbery case... you know, in your house?” Ye Xiao was feeling depressed, so he changed the topic to ask about what he was interested in most at the moment.

Zuo Wuji's grandfather Mr. Zuo, the father of the minister, had searched in every nook and cranny of the capital, Chen-Xing City, several times. The whole city had a dense mist of nervousness hanging over it, and now, even the most insignificant of sounds could instill the greatest of fears in the hearts of the residents. The public security had even become unprecedentedly tight - thanks to Zuo Wuji's grandfather.

”Skip it!” Zuo Wuji looked pale, ”That night I was nearly killed. My grandfather came back home and found that most of his collections had been stolen which had made him furious! These days, there is no one in the house that dares to speak out loud...”

Ye Xiao said modestly, ”It seems that your grandfather must have lost something extremely valuable in that robbery...”

”Apparently so...” Zuo Wuji sighed, ”I haven't seen my grandpa this angry since I was a baby... Currently, the whole city has been thrown upside down because of my family, and yet my grandpa still isn't willing to let it go...”

Ye Xiao replied with an 'oh' before asking thoughtfully, ”Well then, did your grandpa specify which was the most valuable piece amongst the stolen treasures?”

”Who would dare to ask him in his current condition?” Zuo Wuji shouted, feeling wronged, ”During that time, I had only said one sentence, yet I got immediately beaten up several times...”

Lan Langlang showed deep interest, ”What exactly did you say?”

”Nothing special... I just said 'be off with the old and move on with the new. Don't worry grandpa'...” Zuo Wuji felt like weeping but had no tears, ”Then he had suddenly entered a frenzy and shouted, ”'You damn black sheep! It is this damned attitude of yours with which you steal every valuable thing in this house and exchange them for prostitutes and alcohol' ... then he gave me a beating!”

Zuo Wuji spoke sadly, ”Tell me, what have I done wrong? I said those words only to comfort him, and yet I got mercilessly beaten. Did I really doom myself to a thrashing?”

”Eh-hem, hemm...” Ye Xiao started to cough loudly in an attempt to conceal the laughter that was boiling up inside of him.

”Ahahahahah... whoohahahaahaha...” Lan Langlang didn't even try to cover up his laughter, and it even showed hints of gloating.

Lan Langlang and Zuo Wuji had become extremely bored due to the auction being delayed, so they had come over to see Ye Xiao. Zuo Wuji had always been hostile towards Ye Xiao - they disliked each other. However, this had all changed after the 'great favor' from Ye Xiao. He had even started to consider Ye Xiao to be a true friend, and so, he had come over to Ye Xiao with Lan Langlang to complain about the auction and their boredom; they thought that perhaps they could score a free meal from Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao smiled and looked at the night sky through the window as he lightly said, ”The robbery... maybe it wasn't such a bad thing for your clan... There is an old saying which says that luck and misfortune come in turns... Maybe, for the loss you have suffered today, it will be repaid a thousand times in the future...”

Ye Xiao spoke very slowly. It seemed like what he was saying had some obscure meanings.

Zuo Wuji sighed. He didn't know what Ye Xiao had really meant. He didn't understand that it was actually a precious promise. He could only feel bad about his own misery at the moment, ”Alas, don't talk about making it up... Right now, I'm always scared shxtless every time I see my grandpa... I'd better fix my own issues first. That bloody auction, how could they fxxking delay it? The bloody moron with his supreme dan beads. If I get a chance to meet him... I promise, I will tear him into a million shreds...”

He let out another sigh which was filled with endless sadness.

”Oh, I see why you two have come here. The auction is delayed and you guys are slowly dying due to boredom, right? So you are here to seek some amusement from me, right?” Ye Xiao looked at them with amusement.

The delay of the auction had been troubling him as well, even more so after finding out that he was actually the reason for this delay.

Besides... Lan Langlang and Zuo Wuji could complain about it out loud while he couldn't say a word about it!

And they were even calling him a moron right to his face. He really felt like giving these two in front of him an ass-whooping. Though he found it extremely painful to tolerate their trash talking, he still had to!

”Heh, heh, heh... Oh right, I know of a freakish occurrence which might interest you, brother Ye. Do you remember the Shan-Hua House?” Zuo Wuji asked.

”Hmm?” Ye Xiao's eyes turned cold as it seemed to exude a chilly sensation.

How could he forget the place where he - or should we say the departed Ye Xiao - got poisoned: the brothel Shan-Hua House.

”Ninety-eight people in Shan-Hua House were all killed. Everyone in that house is dead, no survivors.” Zuo Wuji sighed regretfully, ”I was going to have some fun there during this rough time, you know, with those pretty chicks. When I got there, all I saw were rotting corpses. That was really disappointing... It is a pity about those pretty gals...”

”What? All dead?” Ye Xiao frowned tightly.
