Chu Sihan calmly covered the cards and said lightly, “The cards are in my hands. I can take them out if I want to.”
“Thank you, Lord. Thank you for letting me win!”
Lu Sheng smiled and cupped her hands at him.
Then, Lu Sheng successfully stole the landlord.
Lu Sheng blew up Lu Zhou’s plane with four K’s.
Chu Sihan shouted ‘pass’ and Lu Zhou took out four aces.
After Lu Sheng shouted ‘pass’, Chu Sihan threw out a trump card, then a three.
Lu Zhou’s face turned green. He threw down his cards and said angrily, “I’m not playing anymore!”
He suspected that there was something wrong with Chu Sihan’s head. Otherwise, how could he not differentiate between friend and foe?
Lu Sheng reached out her hand and gestured at him. She raised her eyebrows and said, “Master, you haven’t given me money from the last round.”
Lu Zhou’s face darkened. “You want ten taels from Master?”
“Hey ~” Lu Sheng flicked her hair and smiled. “There are no parents at the gambling table. Have you heard of that saying?”
Lu Zhou snorted and handed her a banknote worth ten taels.
Lu Sheng smiled and thanked him. “Thank you, Master!”
“Thank me? You should thank your Lord Chu.”
Lu Zhou glared at Chu Sihan.
Lu Sheng giggled happily.
Chu Sihan picked up the cards slowly and placed them back on the table.
Looking at Lu Sheng, who was hugging the banknote and smiling so widely that one could not see her eyes, he could not help but smile.
“It’s already evening.”
After Lu Sheng kept the banknote, she said to Chu Sihan, “That master should be preparing the ritual. Lord, Master and I will go and keep an eye on them first. Ask someone to keep an eye on Dongfang Mansion. If there’s any movement, bring Xianger over first. I’ll meet you soon.”
Chu Sihan nodded. “Take care.”
When he heard that they were going to find that master, Lu Zhou, who was depressed from losing money, immediately felt better.
He stood up impatiently and reached out to carry Lu Sheng. “Let’s go quickly.”
He did not want to lose him again if they were late.
“Yes, let’s go!”
Lu Sheng looked helpless. She nodded at Chu Sihan and let Lu Zhou pull her out.
When the father-daughter pair reached that master’s courtyard, they tacitly took out Invisibility Talismans and pasted them on themselves. Then, they jumped over the wall and entered the courtyard.
In the courtyard, a monk in a gray Daoist robe was casting a spell.
When Lu Sheng saw the monk, she immediately frowned. “It’s that monk.”
Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “You know this bald monk?”
Lu Sheng explained in a low voice, “Previously, in Huang Yang Town, the county magistrate closed the city gate to investigate the murder of the Jiang family’s old master. Many merchants and pedestrians could not enter the city and could only stay nearby.
“Back then, many people came to Liu Yue Village to stay. This monk was one of them. When he passed by our house, he said that our Lu family is in a haunted house. He even brought a group of people to our house.”
Lu Zhou snorted coldly. “How can a righteous monk cast a spell to harm others? It’s obvious this bald monk cultivates unorthodox methods.”
After complaining, he scanned his surroundings and finally fixed his gaze on an old monk under the roof.
The old monk was tasting tea under the roof. There were two young men sitting beside him.
One of them was someone Lu Sheng knew. He was Chu Sihan’s cousin, Chu Silin.
As for the other one, she did not have much impression.
Lu Sheng whispered to Lu Zhou, “Master, the person who tricked you should be that bald old monk.”
“Hah!” Lu Zhou sneered. “So, he hid here.”
