Nine Rings C139
by MarineTL — Chapter 139: Number 434 Liang Zicheng lay on the ground, cowering and begging for mercy. As soon as I moved the stick away, he suddenly scrambled up and tried to slip away. I reached out, grabbed him by the collar, and hauled him right back. "Look, man, I was really wrong! I'll definitely pay you back once we get back, okay? Just let me go home!" I didn't actually care much about the money he made from reselling my two paintings. Liang Zicheng's family had always been poor, so to win scholarships,…

Nine Rings C138
by MarineTL — Chapter 138: 18 North Bookstore Street Bookstore Street is a relatively bustling commercial district in Kaifeng's old city. I'm not someone who likes going out; in modern terms, I'm a bit of a homebody. I prefer staying in my room tinkering with things. Coming to Kaifeng was purely for school, and I don't like wandering around aimlessly. So, I've never been to this North Bookstore Street on the address and don't know anything about it. I had no classes in the afternoon, so I put on my glasses and…

Nine Rings C137
by MarineTL — Chapter 137: Selling a Painting The next day we caught a bus back to Kaifeng. A couple of days later, He Yu packed his bags and went back to his hometown. I was so busy with the start of the semester that my feet barely touched the ground. At first, He Yu and I worried that Lu Ayao would be bored staying by himself, but it turned out we were overthinking it. Lu Ayao spent all day in his room tinkering with those diagrams of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. He was so focused that if I didn't…

Nine Rings C136
by MarineTL — Chapter 136: A Difficult Hurdle I froze for a moment. Once I processed what he said, I wanted to explode and start cursing right then and there. But He Yu knew me well. Seeing that things were about to go south, he stepped in before I could and grabbed my arm firmly. His pull caused the anger that had just surged to the top of my head to vanish instantly. Instead, I began to seriously reconsider the possibility of what Bai Shenxian had said. My grandfather was the only one among the Five Masters who…

Nine Rings C135
by MarineTL — Chapter 135: Bazi He Yu gave me a nudge and told me to pay. I was reluctant because I felt in my heart that this guy was nothing but a scammer. He Yu pulled me to the side and whispered in my ear: "Don't be so stubborn. Since Old Lu brought us here, there's no way he got the wrong guy. What's a few cheap rings compared to the poison in Old Lu's system? Who knows if that corpse poison will flare up later and threaten his life? Let me just grit my teeth and get this over with. If this guy's scamming…

Chapter
Nine Rings C134
by MarineTL — Chapter 134: The Profiteering Divine Doctor Hearing He Yu talk with such certainty made it sound genuinely bizarre, but regardless, hearsay is never as convincing as seeing something with your own eyes. This only made me more determined to make the trip to Luoyang. We sat for a while longer before heading off to sleep. Those two days on the train were pretty boring. At first, He Yu and I were still in the mood to fool around, but eventually, we ate so much instant ramen we wanted to throw up. By the…

Nine Rings C133
by MarineTL — Chapter 133 Bai Shenxian Generally speaking, whenever Lu Ayao came in, He Yu and I had to head out. Whether he was sleeping or completely ignoring what we were talking about, his presence made it pretty much impossible for us to talk freely. So when He Yu went out and didn't come back after ten minutes, I started climbing down from my bunk. Once my feet hit the floor, I saw Lu Ayao lying on the bottom bunk with his eyes closed, so I tiptoed out as well. As soon as I stepped outside and turned my…

Chapter
Nine Rings C132
by MarineTL — Chapter 132: The Return Trip I didn't expect him to ask that out of nowhere. My brain stalled for a second, and I stared at the computer screen for a long while before coming to my senses. I scratched my head, not knowing where to start, trying to stall and brush it off. This tactic worked well on my Fourth Brother, but it was useless with He Yu. He was extraordinarily sensitive when it came to interpersonal matters, so he quickly poked me with a finger. "What's the matter? You've already said so…
