Chapter 68
Why are you annoyed? Lou Ming suddenly spoke out and asked, You can completely pretend that you have never encountered this matter. When his family asks for your help, you can also choose not to intervene.
But Ive seen it, ah. Theres no way I can pretend that I havent seen it, ah, Chen Yu replied, depressed.
Lou Ming couldnt help but smile. He reached out and tugged Chen Yu, who covered herself with her pillow. Get up, dont smother yourself.
Chen Yu continued to cover herself and did not move.
Do you know why you are annoyed? Lou Ming asked.
I dont know. Chen Yu sullenly responded.
Because you are kind, Lou Ming suddenly quipped.
Chen Yu moved the pillow away from her face, looked at Lou Ming and said, Im not kind. When I catch a ghost, no matter how pathetic that ghost is, I will still take him away.
Thats because you know that sending them to reincarnation is the best ending for them. Lou Ming said, But this matter is different. This person youre talking about is desperately trying to save another person, and deep down you actually dont want him to die, do you?
Chen Yu froze and sat up hugging the pillow. I dont know.
If there was a way to have the best of both worlds, would you go for it? Lou Ming asked.
But there is no best of both worlds. Chen Yu said, The Life Exchange Technique can only be used on people who are going to die, so one of them must die.
Since you cant leave this matter alone, why dont you just go and try to understand the matter at hand better? Lou Ming said, When you know more, maybe you will naturally know what needs to be done next.
What if I still dont know what to do? Chen Yu asked.
Lou Ming pondered over it and said, Or you can just think of it as for me. Im curious. What kind of relationship is it that allows that person to trade his life for the other persons life.
Hmm Chen Yu hesitated for a moment: But my masters rule is that I must charge when undertaking a task.
Lou Ming snickered and said, Then Ill pay you a dollar to hire you to investigate this matter, okay?
A dollar? So cheap, ah. Forget it. For the sake of our acquaintance, Ill give you a discount. Chen Yu threw the pillow, took the apple on the coffee table and began to nibble.
Lou Ming could not help but smile again when he saw that Chen Yu had finally recovered her spirit.
For a money-mad person to give him a discount and accept only a dollar, it was also considered that Chen Yu had attached utmost importance to him.
Although Chen Yu wanted to figure out what happened to Zhang Ziyang, all of this was predicated on the premise that Zhang Wenwen and the others would seek her out again.
But Chen Yu didnt know what happened. Since she left the hospital two days ago, Zhang Wenwen didnt look for her again, and neither did Qin Yi and Shao Hui. Chen Yu found it strange at first, but then thought that she was innocently implicated in this matter from the outset. She originally thought that since she saw it and couldnt resolutely leave them in the lurch, she might as well try it and see if there was a better solution.
However, two days had now passed without any sudden movement from the other party. Chen Yu didnt have the character of a eunuch, dying of anxiety when the Emperor wasnt, so she wasnt bothered by it. She also thought that they might have found a more powerful Celestial Master, but not necessarily so.
Hence, according to Chen Yus previous plan, she happily ran on the road of receiving tasks from the metaphysics network and upgrading as soon as possible.
After lunch that day, Master Mao appeared in the Lous courtyard again with a bronze sword. Lou Ming was surprised to see Master Mao personally deliver the bronze sword: Master Mao, why did you come in person?
