Chapter 183: Feudal Superst.i.tions
Two of Lu Chengfu’s roommates, Yu Jinzhou and Xiao Le, came out with w.a.n.g Xuewen and the others. These two could be considered to be the closest to Lu Chengfu.
They came out to give Lu Chengfu face and show some concern for his friend, but who would have thought that they would hear these sorts of words from this person, whom they weren’t sure was Lu Chengfu’s girlfriend or a female friend.
The two paused, especially Xiao Le, who didn’t believe in ghosts and G.o.ds. He almost rolled his eyes. Yu Jinzhou’s eyes flashed with surprise and helplessness, but his face was very calm.
In contrast, w.a.n.g Xuewen and the others had completely different reactions. They were scared witless by Sister-in-law/Master’s words, especially Lu Chengfu, who looked at Haozi’s sister-in-law’s grave expression. He was so scared that his legs almost gave out and he almost collapsed on the spot. He was now incomparably glad that he had immediately decided to find Haozi’s sister-in-law when the talisman in his pocket burned hot.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have understood how serious the matter was if he didn’t see Haozi’s sister-in-law’s grave expression or hear her words himself.
“Sister… Sister-in-law, help! What the h.e.l.l is going on? Why… did I run into trouble again?” Lu Chengfu grabbed Chi Shuyan tightly and looked like he was about to cry. Xiao Le laughed at his appearance, but Yu Jinzhou subconsciously frowned when his gaze fell on the hand which Lu Chengfu had grabbed Chi Shuyan with.
Chi Shuyan didn’t see any cadaveric qi on Lu Chengfu’s forehead. Thinking of how Qi Hao had casually given Lu Chengfu the most useful Guiding Lightning Talisman at the burial mound, she could only say that the kid had heaven-defying luck. He might have accidentally escaped a calamity this time, but his dormitory mates weren’t as lucky.
She patted Lu Chengfu’s shoulder. “Don’t worry; as long as you carry my talisman on you and don’t stay in the dormitory, you’ll be fine!”
Lu Chengfu hurriedly nodded and itched to leave the dormitory immediately. He didn’t even want to go to school anymore. w.a.n.g Xuewen and the others were well aware of Sister-in-law/Master’s abilities, and were also worried. “Chengfu, why don’t you just drop out of school? No, defer your studies. It’s better to take a break than lose your life!”
Qi Hao and Jian Chongying also valued their lives very much, so they hurriedly nodded in agreement with w.a.n.g Xuewen’s thoughts and said, “Right, take a break. Don’t go back to the dormitory after you leave school. By the way, Sister-in-law, is it the couple just now that’s the problem? What did you mean earlier?”
Recalling what happened at the burial mound last time, the boys still had lingering fears. If they had to go through that again, they wouldn’t be able to bear it. Fortunately, the unlucky one was Lu Chengfu.
They weren’t too worried. After all, Haozi’s sister-in-law said it would be fine as long as he didn’t come to the dormitory. Chengfu had looked for Sister-in-law before something happened, so he should be fine.
When Xiao Le and Yu Jinzhou, who were treated like they weren’t there, heard that Lu Chengfu wanted to take a break from school because of some superst.i.tion, Xiao Le covered his belly and laughed. In such a technologically advanced era, this kid, Lu Chengfu, still believed in the supernatural and superst.i.tions, and had even gotten such a young girl to come over. Looking at her from top to bottom, he would never have thought that this beautiful girl would be in the superst.i.tion business!
He couldn’t help but hurriedly advise, “Chengfu, this semester is almost over and it’s going to be summer vacation soon. Don’t drop out or defer your studies for feudal superst.i.tions. You can’t be superst.i.tious. Even if you do look for a Celestial Master to tell your fortune, don’t look for a little girl as a stopgap measure!”
Although Yu Jinzhou didn’t persuade Lu Chengfu as earnestly as Xiao Le, he still said, “Dropping out of school or deferring your studies is something you have to consider carefully!” As soon as he finished speaking, his sharp gaze shot right at Chi Shuyan, and there was even a hint of ill intent in his eyes. “Little girl, even if you don’t study hard at your age, don’t focus on brainwas.h.i.+ng others! You’ll bring about your own downfall if you commit too many atrocities!”
