Chapter 125

"This Taoist priest is indeed young, with a baby face. If he claimed to be a high school student, someone would definitely believe him," Xu Sisi glanced at him and couldn't help but mutter in her heart, "Is Huo Ruoci into younger guys? Such a young child, and yet Huo Ruoci went for it..."

Even Xu Ce was a bit shocked. That baby face looked too young.

Shen Ye swept his gaze over them and shook his head with a smile. "He's not young."

Xu Sisi: "?"

Shen Shimu had just returned and was unaware of the situation. Upon hearing Shen Ye's words, he observed the Taoist priest for a moment and speculated, "Did he use some kind of spell to make himself look like a child again?"

"Something like that," Shen Ye's gaze fell on the Taoist priest. "You have advanced skills, so why did you resort to deceiving people?"

The Taoist priest wore a bitter expression and said, "I... I have never deceived anyone before..."

He then went on to explain his situation.

He was indeed not young anymore and had inherited a Taoist temple. However, the temple was not doing well, so he contemplated leaving it in the hands of his junior brother and going down the mountain to take on jobs to support the temple.

Before going down the mountain, his junior brother used a spell to make him look younger... When he was young, he had a baby face... So he had no choice but to leave the temple with this face...

He heard that Haicheng was prosperous, so after descending the mountain, he went straight to Haicheng, and his first client was Huo Ruoci.

The compensation Huo Ruoci offered was not low. In fact, he had already noticed that the fans chosen by Huo Ruoci had some problems to a greater or lesser extent and were easier to control. At first, he hesitated, but then Huo Ruoci said that he wouldn't need his blessings in case something happened, and he had already taken the money, so in the end, he remained silent.

Shen Ye squinted his eyes and scrutinized him for a few seconds. "So, you didn't end up having a child with Huo Ruoci, right?"

He could tell that the Taoist priest was not lying and that Huo Ruoci was the mastermind.

But as a highly-skilled Taoist priest, how could he be deceived by Huo Ruoci into having a child? Shen Ye found it somewhat unbelievable.

The Taoist priest's face turned red. "I..."

He hesitated for a long time but didn't explain the whole story.

Shen Ye could actually guess the reason but still didn't understand. "Even if you didn't want to, even if she forced you, couldn't you have run away?"

"...," the Taoist priest blushed and finally squeezed out a few words, "I lost my senses..."

Shen Ye glanced at him. "Alright, you have never encountered a woman in your life, and suddenly a beautiful woman throws herself at you. It's understandable that you couldn't control yourself... But what about your son?"

The Taoist priest hurriedly said, "I have sent the child back to the temple and asked my junior brothers to take care of him."

"Oh," Shen Ye continued to glance at him. "Are you here to turn yourself in?"

After settling his son, the Taoist priest must have considered the consequences of his actions.

The Taoist priest hesitated and said in a low voice, "The money in my hands was acquired through illegitimate means. I need to return it. I have also done something wrong and deserve punishment."
