“Are you just going to leave it at that?” the nobleman asked angrily.

Ye Jiayao saw the salesmen walk out and watch them cautiously. She decided to drag the nobleman away first.

“I tried recalling what happened and it seems that when you were changing, the purse was already missing. Moreover, the salesmen had such nice attitude before and were coaxing you to buy the clothes with silver. When they saw that we were going back, they changed their attitude immediately and became indifferent. When you mentioned your purse, they became angry, which raises some suspicions,” Ye Jiayao analyzed.

“That’s what I was thinking as well,” the nobleman said heatedly. “No, I can’t take this insult.” He started to walk back to the store, his stance tensed.

Ye Jiayao clung to him firmly. “Can you not be so impulsive? God, they were telling the truth when they said youth without facial hair cannot be relied upon!”

“What did you say about me?” the nobleman’s voice rose by an octave, his eyes bulging in disbelief.

“I’m just saying that you do things without thinking,” Ye Jiayao hollered back. You think I’d be scared of you when I’ve lived with outlaws before?

“Then what do you suggest?” the nobleman asked unhappily.

“Well, what can we do without any evidence? We can only chalk it up to our bad luck,” Ye Jiayao stated. If they were locals, then they could’ve at least come up with some ideas. However, they were outsiders, what could they do? Even if they have tons of money, it was still of no use. Hasn’t he heard that a fierce dragon was no match for a snake in its home territory?

“Well, don’t you have any relatives or friends in Ji Nan?” Ye Jiayao asked.

The nobleman responded in a foul mood. “I am escaping, I mean, I don’t have any relatives. I’m out to play and travel by myself.”

Although he corrected his mistake quickly, Ye Jiayao had already picked up on the key point. This child was in his rebellious stage and has run away from home.

“Since you lost your money now, how will you return to Jin Ling? It’s obvious that you’re not very experienced. You should’ve put your money and other belongings in various places so if you lose one portion, you still have another. Putting them all together like that was a rookie mistake. I’m really beginning to have doubts about how you managed to go to Ji Nan from Jin Ling,” Ye Jiayao criticized unrestrainedly.

“Was this not all your fault? If you did not steal my boat, rip my clothes, I would not be in this predicament!” The nobleman started to recount from the start.

“Oh God, we’re back to this again? Why don’t you mention that if it was not for you fleeing from home and coming to Ji Nan then nothing would have happened? Geez! I even gave you a bowl of sugared lotus seed soup! Plus, I am about to pay your boat fee later. If you keep whining, I’ll leave you by yourself,” Ye Jiayao threatened.

The nobleman immediately calmed down and muttered, “I don’t care. You are still partly responsible, anyway.”

Ye Jiayao’s temper flared. How dare he blame me?

“I don’t have the energy to keep arguing with you. You know, I was really excited to go on this tour, but now? Ha! We should just go back before my mood starts to get worse. I’ll send you back to the shore and we can part ways,” Ye Jiayao said in a huff as she walked off.

The nobleman followed her hurriedly. “You can’t just bring me back to the shore! I don’t have any silver. How can I survive? What will I eat? Where will I live?”
