Chapter 336: Not So Easy

“Have some tea.” Zuo Wuji put a reeky cup of hot tea on the table on Ye Xiao’s side. He casually sat by Ye Xiao’s side, and he was acting casually. Apparently, he felt comfortable being with Ye Xiao. He said, “Since you come to me, it must be for something important, right?”
Ye Xiao looked at this confident and relaxed man in front of him. He was shocked.
When Zuo Wuji stole the Jade Ruyi for money from his own house, he was so embarrassed.
In the old days, he could be scared by just some words from others. Now, he was casual, confident, decent. That was such a huge difference!
It had only been half a year. How could he change so much?
Zuo Wuji was now giving Ye Xiao an impression that he was a bit like Master Bai of the House of the Chaotic Storms. He could actually be another Master Bai really.
“Zuo Zuo, I can see a big change you have made. A man should be seen in a different way after three days. You are this man.” Ye Xiao didn’t talk about anything serious and just sighed.
“I have never changed,” Zuo Wuji calmly spoke, “I was like this before. I have always been interested with these things. However… I did have some crazy times before. That is all.”
Ye Xiao nodded. “Hmm. You mean you are actually a man with lots of secret deep inside your heart. The reason why you are one of the ‘three lords in town’ is that you act like a prick. The bastard appearance you show people is just your cover…”
Even though Zuo Wuji was profound in thoughts, he was surprised. He turned serious and blandly said, “Xiao Xiao, the stone carving you took away from my house, is it good?”
Ye Xiao laughed out loud. “You bastard. You actually know everything. You have been just playing foolish.”
Zuo Wuji humphed and said, “That thing, my grandpa worked so hard to get it. Since he got it, he had changed a lot of places to put it. He didn’t find a perfect spot for it at the end, so he just hid it… Haha. My grandpa was always lost in thoughts in front of that thing. Since that thing got into our house, every several days, there would be somebody dead…”
“It may be a good thing, of good use, however, no matter how good it is, if there is no proper way to use it, it will only bring danger to the house. Instead of keeping it in the house and bearing the misfortunes in the family, I would like to send it away, so it would stop bothering me. Things could be avoided in my house.” Zuo Wuji smiled. “It is good that you like it. Even if you didn’t want it, I would try to find a way to give it to you as a returned favor… Truth is, that thing works for you. Well, you could just take it. It helped you and also helped myself. What a good thing to do!”
Ye Xiao was surprised. “One’s only crime was only to carry a jade. The spirit in it isn’t something everybody will agree and accept. Zuo Zuo, you are really a generous man!”
Zuo Wuji smiled like a fox. “Old saying is always right in some ways. In fact, the truth has proven me right after all. Since that thing was gone, no one else died in my house.”
Ye Xiao was enlightened. “I see.”
[It was truly so unbelievably easy to get that thing, so this is why.
I wanted it for sure. Because Zuo Wuji wanted me to have it, I got it in such an easy way.
How could anything just be taken away so easily from the House of Prime Minister Zuo?
