Chapter 137: Selling a Painting The next day we caught a bus back to Kaifeng. Within a couple of days, He Yu packed his bags and headed back to his hometown. I was so busy with the start of the semester that my feet barely touched the ground. Initially, He Yu and I were worried that Lu A'yao would be bored staying by himself, but it turned out we were overthinking it. Lu A'yao spent all day in his room tinkering with those diagrams of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. He was so focused that if…-

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. He Yu knew me well, though. Seeing things were about to go south, he stepped in before I could and grabbed my arm firmly. His tug 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 the White Immortal had said. My grandfather was the only one among the Five Masters…

Chapter 135: Bazi He Yu gave me a nudge, telling me to pay. I was reluctant because I felt in my heart that this man was nothing more than an unscrupulous merchant. He Yu pulled me aside and whispered in my ear. "Don't be so stubborn. Since Old Lu brought us here, there's no way he's got the wrong person. It's just a few cheap rings, and they aren't nearly as important as the poison in Old Lu's system. Who knows if that Corpse Poison will flare up again and threaten his life? Let's just grit our…

Chapter 134: The Profiteering Divine Doctor Listening to He Yu speak so certainly made it sound truly sinister, but regardless, hearsay is never as real as seeing it for yourself. 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 quite boring. At first, He Yu and I were in the mood to fool around, but eventually, we ate so much instant ramen we felt like vomiting. We didn't talk much toward the end,…

Chapter 133 White Immortal Generally speaking, whenever Lu A'yao came in, He Yu and I would have to head out. Regardless of whether he was sleeping or simply didn't care about what we were discussing, his presence was a major hindrance to our ability to talk freely. So, when He Yu had been out of the room for ten minutes without returning, I began to climb down from my bunk. Once my feet hit the floor, I saw Lu A'yao lying on the bottom bunk with his eyes closed, so I tiptoed out as quietly as…

Chapter 132: The Return Trip I didn't expect him to ask that suddenly. My mind went blank, and I stared at the computer screen for a long time before coming to my senses. I scratched my head, not knowing where to begin, and tried to brush it off. This tactic worked well on my Fourth Brother, but it was useless with He Yu. He was incredibly sensitive to certain social cues, so he quickly poked me with his finger. "What's the matter? You've already said so much. We're close enough now, what's there to…

Chapter 131: Selling the Bracelet "Why?" My face paled at his words, and I nearly dropped my chopsticks. I quickly explained to him, "Look, when I said you were my bodyguard before, I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart. I don't know what special rules your Lu family has, but I truly consider you a friend. We don't need to follow that whole copper coin gratitude thing. When my grandfather sent your family rice back then, it was just a bit of relief aid. You should go do whatever…

Chapter 130: The Next Step We messed around for a while until we were too tired to move, then each of us went to shower to wash off the exhaustion of the past few days. Three people in one bed was far too crowded. To prevent He Yu from hogging all the blankets once he fell asleep, I asked the staff for two extra sets. While He Yu was showering, Lu A'yao leaned against the headboard, fiddling with his rarely seen mobile phone. I wrapped myself in my own blanket and lay on the bed. I hadn't felt…
