Chapter 205: Netherworld (6)
“What?”
Official Lu stroked his beard and said in a rigid voice, “If Your Highness wants to ask about your lifespan in the human world, it’s hard for me to say.”
‘Yan Han’ was not in the life-and-death register. However, Chu Sihan’s lifespan was limited, although his fate had not been decided yet.
Chu Sihan was speechless.
Why would he suddenly ask about his own lifespan?
“I didn’t come here today to ask about my own lifespan. I want you to help me investigate the matter regarding Lin Jiang Mansion’s Dongfang family’s young master.”
“Young Master Dongfang from Lin Jiang Mansion?”
Official Lu frowned slightly and took the life-and-death register of Lin Jiang Mansion. As he flipped through it, he asked, “Why is Your Highness looking for this child?”
Chu Sihan: “You just need to find it. There’s no need to ask.”
“Oh.”
Official Lu flipped for a while before saying, “This child died not long after he was born. Is Your Highness looking for this?”
Chu Sihan glanced at the name on the life-and-death register and saw that it read Dongfang Riming.
He nodded and said, “That’s right. Official Lu, can you call him over for me? I’ll ask him a few things.”
“Alright.”
Official Lu quickly called for people to invite Dongfang Riming out.
“Please have a seat, Your Highness. I have something to do first.”
Official Lu was about to walk back when he suddenly stopped and turned around.
He frowned and asked in confusion, “Why is there a huma’s scent?”
After saying that, he sniffed hard.
“Eh—”
When he saw Lu Sheng beside Chu Sihan, his eyes widened. “Why is there a girl here?”
Lu Sheng was speechless.
Official Lu seemed to be a little silly. She had been standing here for quite a while, yet he only realized now.
Chu Sihan pulled Lu Sheng to the side and sat down. He introduced to Official Lu ambiguously, “Speaking of which, it seems like we are quite fated. This lady’s surname is also Lu.”
“Lu?”
Official Lu sized Lu Sheng up for a moment. Then, he nodded. “Yes, even though your cultivation is shallow, to have such a cultivation at this age is already not bad.”
Chu Sihan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a faint smile, “Does Official Lu know who her master is?”
“Who?” Official Lu was puzzled.
He felt like his focus had been diverted.
“That’s not right. Why would this girl appear in the Netherworld?”
After regaining his senses, Official Lu said harshly, “Your Highness, although you are one of the masters of the Netherworld, you still have to abide by the rules of the Netherworld. How can you bring a human into the Netherworld?”
“Uncle-Master Lu is right. He’s a stubborn and pedantic old thing.”
Only Lu Sheng could hear Chu Sihan’s complaints.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked doubtfully, “Lord, are you saying that my master knows Official Lu?”
Her voice wasn’t loud, but Official Lu heard her.
“Your master?” He frowned. “Who is your master?”
Chu Sihan leaned back in his chair and looked at Official Lu with interest. He seemed to be antic.i.p.ating Official Lu’s reaction after knowing the truth.
Lu Sheng immediately stood up and replied obediently, “My master is a swindler in the human world.”
“Pfft —”
Chu Sihan couldn’t help but laugh.
This little girl was taking advantage of her father again.
“Swindler?”
Official Lu frowned. “Why would you wors.h.i.+p such a foolish thing that swaggers through the streets?”
Chu Sihan coughed lightly and did not explain.
Official Lu twirled his beard again and muttered, “I see that your talent is not bad. I have a good candidate for a master. If you are willing, I can let him take you in as a disciple.”
