Hou Fangting was about to explain the origin of the folding fan when he suddenly met Ye Beixuan's gaze. He immediately understood the other party's intention.

Then he bowed and said, "I found this fan by chance. I saw that the artistic conception of the painting on the fan was quite profound, so I bought it as a gift for you. Please accept it."

Li Xianglian bowed politely, then carefully put the folding fan away as if it were a treasure. She said, "In that case, thank you very much, Master Hou. How much is this folding fan in silver? Xianglian will send someone to deliver it to Master Hou later."

"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal. As long as the lady is willing to accept it, I will be honored." Hou Fangting was very happy. For him, this was the first step to success in his pursuit of the most talented woman in the Great Zhou.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously glanced at Ye Beixuan who was eating heartily. The gratitude in his heart was like a surging river, endless. Brother Ye was truly a god.

When a group of young men saw that Li Xianglian actually accepted Hou Fangting's ordinary folding fan, they immediately regretted it. Why didn't they think of buying an ordinary fan?
At this time, the wedding ceremony of the newlyweds was over, and Liang Mingshan had already begun to see off the guests one by one.

Some anxious guests even stood up on their own, nodded to Liang Mingshan, and turned to leave.

Seeing that the wedding banquet was over, Ye Beixuan was about to get up when a voice came like a faint orchid in a valley, with an otherworldly charm.

"Sir, please stay."

It was Li Xianglian. She suddenly called Ye Beixuan, her expression seemed a little embarrassed, as if she had something to say.

"Hmm?" Ye Beixuan turned around and nodded politely, "Miss, what do you want?"

Looking at Li Xianglian's expression, Ye Beixuan was also quite confused. Why did she come to him? Was it because of the ending of Peach Blossom Fan?

If that's the case, then it's really necessary. After all, I don't want to be a loner unless there's really no reason to continue.

Li Xianglian bowed gracefully and said in a gentle voice, "I apologize for disturbing you, sir. I've found your stories quite fascinating, and I'd like to hire you to work at my Hongxiu Pavilion to compile them. The price is negotiable."

The other young men were filled with envy and jealousy. Li Xianglian was known for her aloofness, yet today she'd actually taken the initiative to strike up a conversation with a young man! He was just a little handsome, what was so great about that?

Liang Mingshan and others who were not far away were even more shocked. This gentleman was truly an accomplished person. Even a stunning beauty like Li Xianglian remained indifferent.

"I'll think about it." Ye Beixuan bowed. Compilation? Not interested. I just like talking.

He turned and walked quickly towards Liang Mingshan, bowing and saying, "Thank you, Lord Liang, for your hospitality. I have eaten and drunk enough today, so I will take my leave now. I also thank you, Lord Liang, for the gift of the house."

"No, no, this is what I should do. Please have a safe journey, Mr. Ye." After saying this, he extended his hand to signal for farewell.

Li Xianglian looked in the direction where Ye Beixuan left, biting her red lips with her pearly teeth, leaving a row of teeth marks on her lips, which made Hou Fangting next to her even more fascinated.

night.

Ye Beixuan walked through the bustling city and came to a deserted night street. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only his own footsteps echoing in the empty darkness.

The wind whistled past like the scream of an evil spirit, and the dead branches on the roadside were dancing in the wind, as if they would turn into ferocious monsters and pounce at you at any time.

At this moment, a figure swayed towards him. When he got closer, he saw that it was a very slovenly Taoist priest. He seemed to be looking for something, muttering to himself, "I clearly saw her running over here. How strange."

The two walked towards each other and soon passed each other. The sloppy Taoist suddenly seemed to think of something and turned around to shout at Ye Beixuan: "Hey, little brother, don't walk on the road at night. You seem to be haunted by something recently." Ye Beixuan paused. This Taoist priest is really good! He actually saw that he was haunted by a beautiful female ghost.

"Thank you." He continued walking towards the house.

After returning home and relaxing from his fatigue, Ye Beixuan picked up the teacup, poured water in it, and took a sip.

"I'm so scared, so scared." The female ghost Yun Ge suddenly rushed in from outside the house, which made Ye Beixuan's heart tremble. This ghost can really scare people to death.

"Why are you so scared?" Although his heart beat faster due to fear, it soon calmed down.

"Oh! You don't know, just now there was a sloppy Taoist priest who insisted on taking me away. It was really annoying. I told him that I already had someone." Zhao Yunge patted his chest and said with a frightened look.

A slovenly Taoist priest? Could it be that he was just looking for Yun Ge? This female ghost is such a troublemaker. She's been causing trouble for me since I was out for only a short while.

"Don't run around if you have nothing to do. This is the mortal world. You'll scare others, so it's only natural for the Taoist priest to take you in."

"Yes, Yun Ge knows he was wrong. It's just that he hasn't been back to the mortal world for a long time, and he was a little reluctant to return for a moment." Zhao Yun Ge said, and ran over to massage Ye Beixuan's back, and even his tone sounded a little coquettish.

Perhaps it was the contact over the past few days that made her realize that Ye Beixuan was a very easy person to get along with, so she became bolder and bolder, and sometimes even spoke in a frivolous tone.

"Okay, I'm going to rest. Go back into the umbrella and don't go out for no reason. If someone catches you, I can't help you." Ye Beixuan threatened in a "vicious" tone.

"I know! I know!" Zhao Yunge said, then turned into green smoke and went into the oil-paper umbrella.

Dragging his tired body, Ye Beixuan took off his blue shirt and carefully tidied it up, then laid it beside him on the bed, closed his eyes, and a slight snoring sound could be heard.

midnight.

A sound like boxing startled Ye Beixuan awake. His mind suddenly exploded, and all sleepiness disappeared. Who was this in his yard? Could it be a thief?

He put on his clothes, grasped his iron sword, and was about to go out to check carefully when suddenly a pair of cold hands grabbed him and said, "Sir, don't go out. There's a very fierce red-robed fire ghost fighting with that sloppy Taoist priest outside."

"It's okay, let me take a look." He walked to the gap in the door and said calmly.

Puff, puff, puff!!! It was like a heavy fist smashing into the air, making a loud sound that broke through the air.

No way! Is this ghost so powerful? What if the ghost wins? If I can't scare it, I'm afraid the female ghost Yun Ge will blame me, and then there will be two ghosts.

Taoist priest, you can’t lose! Ye Beixuan kept cheering for him in his heart, and also encouraged and supported him spiritually.

"Forehead"

Snapped!
There was a sound of a body falling to the ground, as if the Taoist priest was knocked flying and landed heavily on the ground.

No way, I can't be so unlucky! I just checked in and encountered something like this. This damn Taoist priest, how could he lead a ghost to me?
