When Liu Ying drove Yan Shouyi and Kang Jinlong to Yuelu Academy by the West Lake, the academy was still full of guests and very lively.
Still crossing the threshold of entry, Yan Shouyi clearly heard the voice of the storyteller.
Unfortunately, he came a step too late. Before he could hear a few words after entering, the storyteller on the stage had already finished the show with a wake-up call, ending tonight's performance.
The guests still had a lot to say, but it was already getting late, so they walked out in twos and threes.
They looked happy and seemed to be immersed in the storyteller's stories, constantly reminiscing about the soul-stirring stories with their friends.
When passing by Yan Shouyi and others, the guests recognized Liu Ying and stepped forward to say hello.
Yan Shouyi looked beyond these guests and noticed the storyteller Yin Tang, who was wearing a robe and sitting on the stage drinking tea.
Yin Tang is not tall, even a little short. He still has a slicked-back haircut despite his age, a pair of small round sunglasses, and a small mustache. He looks like the kind of person who is good at calculation, like
He's like the accountant in a period movie.
Yan Shouyi cupped his fists and bent down to salute Yin Tang from a distance. Yin Tang showed a smile and motioned for Yan Shouyi and the others to sit in front of him.
By the time Yan Shouyi and others walked over, Yuelu Academy was almost empty.
The servant served them a pot of hot tea, then left, closing the door of the academy.
In this huge hall, there were only Yan Shouyi, Kang Jinlong, Yin Tang and Liu Ying.
Liu Ying smiled and said: "Yan Shouyi, my master admires you very much!"
Yan Shouyi said with shame: "I'm just a junior, I hope Senior Yin can give me more advice."
"You are so humble," Yin Tang said loudly, "the descendants of Lu Ban in the past generations are all the best among people, especially you, the Yan family."
As he spoke, Yin Tang glanced sideways at Kang Jinlong and added, "Except you."
Yan Shouyi's eyes twitched. He didn't expect Yin Tang to speak so directly. Was he accusing Kang Jinlong of betraying his trust and following Li Genmiao and killing his colleagues, or was he saying that Kang Jinlong had insulted the reputation of the successor of Lu Ban?
All in all, they are not good words...
Kang Jinlong's face was expressionless and he didn't take Yin Tang's comments to heart.
Around Yin Tang, Liu Ying is a good girl, pouring tea for everyone honestly.
"This is the best Mingqian Longjing." Yin Tang introduced.
Mingqian Longjing tea is Longjing tea picked and made before the Qingming Festival.
Yan Shou picked up the transparent tea cup and looked inside. The tea leaves were green and translucent, and the leaves were even and shiny. They were completely different from the dried Wuyi Mountain rock tea.
Take a quick sip, the taste is sweet, the entrance is soft and fragrant, giving people a fresh and natural feeling.
Yan Shouyi couldn't help showing a regretful expression.
Liu Ying was unhappy: "Yan Shouyi, what's your expression? My master is treating you with precious tea!"
Yan Shouyi quickly explained: "I regret it because I feel that such good tea was wasted. If I drink less wine tonight and come here earlier, I can go with this good tea and listen to Senior Yin's storyteller! Now I only drink tea.
, my ears are empty, and I always feel like something is missing.”
Yin Tang laughed loudly after hearing this: "What a boy, the Yan family can actually flatter you."
"What I said was from the bottom of my heart, not flattery." Yan Shouyi said seriously.
"Okay, I'll believe you for now."
Yin Tang habitually touched Xingmu, but when he came to his senses, he was not talking about reading at this time, so he picked up the folding fan, opened it with a "pop", and then shook it gently.
A refreshing fragrance comes out of the folding fan, which makes people feel soothed.
"The main reason I invite you here this time is to thank you for what you have done for Qiantang," Yin Tang said. "In return, I am willing to answer one question for each of you."
Yan Shou had been prepared early in the morning and also guessed that Yin Tang would do this.
He was not in a hurry, so he turned to look at Kang Jinlong: "You ask first."
He knew that Kang Jinlong had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Kang Jinlong's face finally became less stiff. He gritted his teeth and seemed to be moving his jaw and cheeks.
"Do you know Yu Leyao?" It took Kang Jinlong a long time to hold back these words.
Yin Tang shook his folding fan and said, "I know there are more than thirty people named Yu Leyao. I wonder which one you are asking about?"
"You know that I am Wei Changqing, so you should know which Yu Leyao I am asking about."
Yin Tang glared at Kang Jinlong: "If it weren't for Yan Shouyi's sake, I wouldn't bother to see you. After all, you didn't take any action seven days ago. But when I help you, I am also helping Yan Shouyi."
Yan Shou laughed twice and apologized to Yin Tang for Kang Jinlong's rudeness.
Fortunately, Yin Tang doesn't care.
Yin Tang said calmly: "Her name is not Yu Leyao, her real name is Shang Ruman."
Kang Jinlong was slightly startled, his eyes a little wandering.
He didn't expect that the name he had been chanting for so many years turned out to be a fake name.
As soon as Yin Tang opened his mouth, he gave Kang Jinlong a heavy blow.
But Yin Tang was not going to shut up, he continued:
"Shang Ruman comes from a martial arts sect. I won't mention the name of the sect. This sect makes a living by cheating. It specially selects some good-looking little girls to abduct, then brainwashes and trains them to become liars, and then instructs them to sacrifice their sex to seduce their targets.
, in order to achieve the purpose of deceiving.”
"Before you met Shang Ruman, she had successfully deceived two wealthy businessmen in Xiangjiang. She was still a little beggar when you first met her, but in fact she has already become rich."
Kang Jinlong's face looked a little ugly, because Yin Tang was right. When he first met Yu Leyao, she was a little beggar who was about to freeze to death on the roadside.
But the person he had been thinking about for so many years was crushed by Yin Tang in such an understatement, and he was still a little angry in his heart.
"How do you prove that what you said is right?" Kang Jinlong asked coldly.
Yin Tang said with a smile: "Disciples of this sect have had a wild rose tattooed on their tail vertebrae since childhood. Have you ever seen it?"
As soon as these words came out, Kang Jinlong was immediately speechless.
He has seen it.
Yu Leyao... No, Shang Ruman does have this tattoo on his body.
Because the tattoo is on a private part, Kang Jinlong can be sure that no one will know except herself, unless...she is not the only one who has this tattoo.
The words stopped here, and Kang Jinlong had already believed most of them.
Yu Leyao, did you approach me because of the second volume of Lu Ban's book?
Then master and senior brother didn’t do anything wrong?
I was always the one who was wrong?!
Kang Jinlong felt panicked and was a little confused for a moment. After all, it takes a lot of courage and determination for a person to admit that everything he has done in the past twenty years was wrong.
Yan Shou saw this and was about to say a few words to comfort Kang Jinlong, but Yin Tang said at this time:
"However, Shang Ruman's sect has another rule - they will hide their wild roses well. Once the wild roses are seen, they must wash their hands in the golden basin."
"In other words, if you can see Shang Ruman's wild rose, it means that she approached you not because she wanted to write the book of Lu Ban, but because she really fell in love with you."
