This period of sleep went on for a week. Had Elder Wu not warned them in advance, the Lou family and Master Mao probably would have been anxious to death.
Despite Elder Wu’s advance warning, there were still people who kept asking every day.
“Old man, how long will Third Brother have to sleep before he wakes up?” Every time Elder Wu came back from the Lou courtyard or was about to go to the Lou’s small courtyard, Chen Yu always asked him this.
“Soon.” Elder Wu returned carelessly.
“You say that every time. It’s already been a week. I’m about to start school, but Third Brother hasn’t even woken up yet,” Chen Yu said in dissatisfaction.
“Why? You’re not even going to school for a man?” This girl used to be the most fond of going to school. She mumbled every day that she wanted to enter the university. Now that she was finally admitted, was she going to abandon it for a man?
Chen Yu turned around nervously, and she was relieved to find that the door was closed. Fortunately, her parents did not hear him.
“Stop playing games. Go with me there and take a look.” This old man who was addicted to games would be the death of Chen Yu.
“Haven’t I gone to check on him two days ago?” Elder Wu countered without turning his head.
Chen Yu was speechless, so she could only resort to a killer trick: “I’m going to turn off the router.”
“Don’t, don’t. I’m downloading this instance. The group will be wiped out if the internet suddenly gets disconnected.” His granddaughter would turn off the router every time Lou Ming was mentioned. It was really tiring. “Didn’t I explain to you before? Lou Ming is in a coma because he consumed too much soul power when he resisted the Heavenly Thunder. Once his soul power recovers, he will wake up naturally.”
On New Year’s Eve, when the Heavenly Thunder was about to strike, the golden light that flashed out from Lou Ming’s body was his soul power. Every time Elder Wu recalled that scene, he couldn’t help but sigh. The soul power of a soul that carried such a powerful evil spirit was really not ordinary either.
“But it’s been a week.” Chen Yu felt on edge.
“The spiritual power in the small courtyard of the Lou family is abundant, so Lou Ming’s recovery speed is already considered fast.” Elder Wu said, “How could a soul power that fended off a Heavenly Thunder so easily recover? Wait patiently.”
Chen Yu pursed her lips, and suddenly remembered something: “Grandpa, give me the Soul Summoning Bell.”
Elder Wu’s hand on the mouse stiffened: “What for?”
“After checking on Third Brother later, I want to return the magic weapon to Lu Ning and the others.” Two days ago, Chen Yu contacted March Floating Rain online, asking him to help contact both Qin Guanhai and Lu Ning both, so as to return the peach wooden sword and Soul Summoning Bell to each of them.
“Lu Ning?” Elder Wu’s eyes darkened. With a dazed effort, the Boss directly hammered his game character to death. The computer screen also instantly turned gray.
“By the way, Old Man, is this Soul Summoning Bell somehow related to our Luoshan Sect? I found that the bell responds to our spells last time.” Chen Yu asked curiously, “And the compass also seems to recognize it.”
Elder Wu pulled a drawer open and took out the Soul Summoning Bell inside and handed it to Chen Yu. He said, “The Soul Summoning Bell is indeed something of our sect.”
“Then how did it get into someone else’s hands?” Chen Yu added, “Lu Ning said that the bell was a relic left to him by his grandmother. Old Man, do you know Lu Ning’s grandmother?”
“…” Elder Wu urged impatiently, “Why do you have endless questions? I have given you the stuff. Don’t hinder me from playing games. “
“I just think it’s a pity that Lu Ning can’t wield the full power of the Soul Summoning Bell in his hands at all,” Chen Yu said.
“There are so many unfortunate things in the world. Can you take care of them?”
Chen Yu wanted to say something else, but then sensitively noticed that her grandfather’s mood didn’t seem right. Although she didn’t know what the cause was, Chen Yu still didn’t dare to mess with the old man when he was really angry: “Then I’m leaving. Old Man, don’t keep playing games either. Remember to go out for lunch at noon.”
After Chen Yu left, the room was finally quiet again. Elder Wu sat in front of the computer, staring at the screen silently, but turning a blind eye to the teaming requests that kept flashing in the game.
Chen Yu first went to the small Lou courtyard to check on Lou Ming before going out from the compound and rushing to the antique street where she had an appointment with March Floating Rain.
The Liangs and the Qins both have stores in the antique street, and their meeting place this time was the Liang family’s store there, the ‘Ancient Moon Residence’.
When Chen Yu arrived at the Ancient Moon Residence, Liang Yu was already waiting at the entrance. Upon seeing Chen Yu coming, he immediately greeted her in excitement and brought her to the backyard.
In the backyard garden, Liang Guang, Qin Guanhai, Lu Ning, Shao Qi; all of the five people in the valley were present.
“Celestial Master Chen.”
“Celestial Master Chen.”
When they spotted Chen Yu, they stood up and greeted her.
Chen Yu nodded, looked at Qin Guanhai, and directly handed him the peach wooden sword in her hand, saying, “I’m returning this to you.”
Qin Guanhai took the magic weapon and expressed his gratitude, “Thank you!”
“I borrowed the magic weapon from you. Why are you thanking me?” Chen Yu asked in amusement.
“You saved us, ah,” Qin Guanhai froze and replied.
“Speaking of which.” Chen Yu turned her head to face Liang Yu and broached straightforwardly, “When will you pay the seven million?”
“…”
Everyone didn’t expect Chen Yu to up and ask for money, and it was only seven million. Did she have to be so anxious? She exuded none of a master’s aura at all. They had been influenced by metaphysics since childhood, but they had never asked for money so directly. For the most part, the clients who asked them to do something for them would stuff money to them, in fear that they would refuse it.
“Ahem, erm, didn’t you say last time that the amount needed to be adjusted again?” Nonetheless, Liang Yu, who had dealt with Chen Yu a few times, was the first to react.
“Forget it. Just seven million.” Because the incident served as a blessing in disguise and controlled the evil spirit in Lou Ming’s body, Chen Yu was in a good mood and decided not to charge extra. Otherwise, there was no telling how much it would have cost just to resolve a millennium-old zombie.
“Oh, okay, I’ll transfer it to you later,” Liang Yu returned.
Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction. She then took out the Soul Summoning Bell, handed it to Lu Ning and said, “I’m returning the bell to you. Thank you.”
“You’re welcome,” Lu Ning reached out, but just as he took the bell, it suddenly vibrated, jingling and ringing.
Lu Ning was stunned, and his hand that stretched out for the bell froze.
Chen Yu frowned. She took out the compass that vibrated in her knapsack, and then put it next to the Soul Summoning Bell.
“Are these two magic weapons reluctant to separate?” Qin Guanhai, who had the sharpest senses, guessed.
Chen Yu and Lu Ning were stunned at that possibility and looked at each other in silence.
“You,” Chen Yu wanted to ask Lu Ning if he could sell her the Soul Summoning Bell, but thinking that it was a relic of Lu Ning’s grandmother, she felt it inappropriate. Besides, although the old man admitted that the Soul Summoning Bell was a magic tool of the Luoshan Sect, he said nothing about retrieving it.
Chen Yu sighed. She looked at the compass that kept trembling, silently said sorry and forced it back into her knapsack.
“Bzz-bzz-bzz!”
“Jing-ding-ding.”
The moment Chen Yu withdrew her hand, the Soul Summoning Bell and the compass vibrated more intensely as if they realized that they were going to separate.
“Stop it!” Chen Yu tried to appease the compass in her hand.
“Bzz-bzz-bzz.” For some reason, Chen Yu felt that the compass was aggrieved from its vibration. She couldn’t help raising her head and staring at the Soul Summoning Bell in Lu Ning’s hand. She really wished Lu Ning was a villain, so she could grab it directly.
“Here!”
Chen Yu stared at the Soul Summoning Bell that was brought before her eyes and raised her head in confusion.
“The Soul Summoning Bell obviously prefers to stay by your side, and,” Lu Ning smiled frankly, “After I witnessed the real power of the bell that night, I realized how wasteful it had been in my hands.”
“But isn’t this the relic your grandmother left you?” Chen Yu said in astonishment.
“Truth to tell, I haven’t met my grandmother.” Lu Ning laughed. “It’s just because I have the best talent, so my family gave me the bell.”
“Are you really going to give it to me?” Chen Yu still was somewhat in disbelief.
“Only by giving it to you will it exert its full power,” Lu Ning said, “I think my grandmother would be happy if she knew about it.”
“Then I won’t be polite then.” After confirming that he was sincere in giving her the Soul Summoning Bell, Chen Yu hurriedly took it, as if in fear that he would take his word back in the next second.
“Bzzz!”
“Ding-ding!”
As if knowing that they wouldn’t be separated from each other, the bell and the compass finally vibrated gently and then completely quieted down.
“Sure enough.” When Lu Ning saw this scene, he could not help but reveal a bitter smile.
“From now on, we’re friends. If you need my help in doing something in the future, just look for me. I won’t charge you.” For a rare moment, Chen Yu, who got the Soul Summoning Bell, was generous.
“Okay, then I will not be polite.” If he could gain such a powerful friend with the Soul Summoning Bell, who knew who was exactly taking advantage of who?
Chen Yu suddenly turned her head and addressed Liang Yu at the side, “Then, just transfer me five million six hundred thousand. Forget about Lu Ning’s share.”
“…” Is my life really worth 1.4 million? Lu Ning was between tears and laughter.
