After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Master, according to your instructions, I will be cursed to death in less than a month? Is there really no way to resolve this?"

Ye Bai looked at Lu Sita with a terrified expression and asked.

It seems that after Ye Xuanyuan's reprimand, Ye Bai's attitude has indeed become much more correct, and he has begun to believe Lu Sita's words without a doubt.

After Master Lu's deliberate guidance and intimidation, Ye Bai's face turned visibly pale, and the fear in his eyes almost became tangible.

With acting skills like that, Ye Bai felt that if he entered the entertainment industry, he would definitely win an Oscar.

Unfortunately, that circle was dirty and chaotic, and he had absolutely no interest in it.

"There is a way, but... never mind, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Lu Sita first shook his head, then let out a helpless sigh, seemingly wanting to say something but stopping himself.

She clearly intends to catch up with Ye Bai in terms of acting skills.

"Master Lu, if you have a way, please help Ye Bai. Rest assured, our Ye family will definitely not let you help us for nothing!"

Ye Xuanyuan spoke at just the right moment, following the script that had been rehearsed beforehand.

"Brother is right, Master Lu. As long as there is a way to resolve this, I will do whatever you ask!"

"Although I don't have much wealth, you should know the Qin family. They are the most powerful family in Jingzhou!"

Ye Bai became increasingly "smart" of the situation, appearing completely caught in the trap.

Although he still couldn't guess what Ye Xuanyuan's real purpose was in setting this up for him, he could only guess at two things.

Money and goods.

Therefore, bringing up the Qin family's background better demonstrates one's fear and urgency.

"Well, since Young Master Ye has spoken, I can't stay out of it. I'll think of a way to help you get through this ordeal."

Lu Sita hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing reluctantly.

"Thank you, Master Lu! Thank you, Brother!"

Ye Bai breathed a heavy sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude with a beaming smile.

After some calculations, Lu Sita suddenly frowned and said, "Logically speaking, you shouldn't be so quickly affected by a husband-killing fate. Have you taken something you shouldn't have recently? For example, ill-gotten gains?"

"I think should not be……"

Ye Bai's eyes were clear, but his expression was blank. He thought to himself, "Brother has made a lot of money lately. Which one are you talking about?"

"Really not? Think about it carefully. You are the son-in-law of the Qin family and the adopted son of the Ye family. The ill-gotten gains I'm talking about are naturally not what the Qin and Ye families gave you, but rather what came from outsiders..."

Lu Sita frowned and reminded him, almost mentioning the Mingtaishan Resort directly.

"Master Lu means, have you taken anything from other people recently? Something that doesn't belong to you!"

Ye Xuanyuan was also a little anxious. According to the information he received from the Qin family, after Old Madam Qin acquired the Mingtai Mountain Resort, she gave it to Ye Bai.

"Hmm, you mean this? Well, there really is one..."

Ye Bai thought hard for a long time, and said somewhat uncertainly.

"That's how it is. You have to return this thing to its original owner to resolve the calamity. Otherwise, if you drag this out any longer, even a god can't help you."

Lu Sita breathed a sigh of relief. It was easy to fool someone who wasn't very bright, but communicating with them was quite difficult.

Those clear little eyes, no matter how you look at them, reveal a kind of foolishness. Many times, you can't understand his veiled language, forcing him to be straightforward.

"But I've already given that bar to Qin Wanqing, there's no way I can give it back!"

Ye Bai said with a mournful face.

"A bar? What bar?"

Lu Sita was completely bewildered, realizing that he couldn't understand a word the adopted son of the Ye family was saying.

Ye Xuanyuan was also a bit dumbfounded, but he had a much better grasp of Ye Bai's information and movements than Lu Sita, so he quickly reacted and asked, "Are you talking about the bar where Zhao Wuyai lost to you?"

The story of Zhao's eldest son competing in horsemanship with Ye's adopted son at Zheng Wushuang's horse farm, resulting in Zhao being seriously injured and losing, and also losing a bar, has long been known throughout the elite circles of Jingzhou and is no longer a secret.

Ye Xuanyuan was, after all, a genuine young master from a wealthy family, so naturally he would know this.

"Yeah, what else could it be but a bar?"

Ye Bai looked surprised, and with his clear and innocent eyes, he looked quite innocent.

“This kind of betting is different from gambling and cannot be considered ill-gotten gains.”

Lu Sita roughly understood what was going on and quickly shook his head.

Deceiving this adopted son of the Ye family seems to require even more effort than deceiving those rich young masters. He must ask for more reward afterward.

"Hmm, if it's not this one, then what else could it be?"

Ye Bai pondered deeply, but seemed to have no clue whatsoever.

Lu Sita and Ye Xuanyuan exchanged a quick glance, both starting to feel a bit overwhelmed.

In order to completely fool Ye Bai, they couldn't mention Mingtaishan Resort at all, otherwise it would easily arouse the other party's suspicion.

Even if Ye Bai is stupid, he's not an idiot; he still has some intelligence.

Therefore, no matter how anxious Ye Xuanyuan and Lu Sita were, they could only force themselves to endure it.

But if we don't bring it up, judging from Ye Bai's posture, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with an answer even if he thought about it for ten days and ten nights.

Lu Sita, quick-witted, looked at Ye Xuanyuan and said, "Young Master Ye, I plan to stay in Jingzhou for quite some time this time. Do you have any recommendations for fun places to visit? Preferably a scenic and quiet resort or something..."

Ye Xuanyuan secretly gave a thumbs up, then sighed and said, "Master Lu, your timing is really unfortunate. My Ye family used to have a resort here, located at the foot of Mingtai Mountain. Both the scenery and the food were top-notch, but unfortunately it's gone now."

Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Sita glanced at Ye Bai and saw that the guy was still deep in thought and had no reaction to what they had just said. He could only bite the bullet and continue, "How could a perfectly good resort suddenly disappear?"

Ye Xuanyuan glanced at Ye Bai and said, "My parents gave it to the Qin family as betrothal gifts. Now, if there are no unforeseen circumstances, it should be registered under my younger brother's name... right, Ye Bai?"

After all the hints had failed, the eldest son of the Ye family lost patience and made it clear.

"Oh, brother, now that you mention it, I almost forgot about the resort!"

Ye Bai slapped his head in frustration, then asked doubtfully, "But this resort shouldn't be considered ill-gotten gains, right?"

Lu Sita was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Ye Bai said, "Didn't Master Lu say before that what the Qin family and the Ye family gave me didn't count? This resort was given to me by the Ye family, it doesn't belong to outsiders!"

puff……

Upon hearing Ye Bai's confident reply, Lu Sita nearly coughed up blood, and was speechless for a moment...
