Heaven’s Shadow

Chapter 85: The Way of the World

The girl tugged at the purse twice, only to find that Lu Chen had grasped it so firmly that she couldn't take it back. After her complexion changed, the original tenderness and care on her face suddenly disappeared, replaced by an annoyed look.

She snorted, and raised her other hand suddenly, and a paper bag actually flew out of her cuff, hitting Lu Chen's face.

As soon as Lu Chen reached out to catch it, he grabbed it with his hand casually, then nodded and let go of her hand.

The girl took a step back, first hid the small bag in her bosom, then looked Lu Chen up and down, snorted coldly, and said, "I can't see it, you actually know these dirty tricks."

Lu Chen laughed and said, "I used to rely on these for a living." Then, his eyes fell on the girl's bright and beautiful face, frowned, and said, "Little girl, since you have such good looks, why cant you do it? Do you have to do this? Dont blame me for not reminding you, these vile people are not good, if you are not careful with your pretty face, you may be eaten alive.

"Yo..." The girl didn't look very old, only about ten years old, but after removing the disguise at this moment, a mature and sophisticated aura suddenly appeared on her body, and her young face looked at Lu Chen with disdainful eyes, she said, "So, you are still a good person?"

Lu Chen said: "It's hard to say that I'm a good person, but it's not bad to remind you of these few words, don't you think?"

"Cut it!" The girl sneered and said, "You're just talking casually. Stop talking nonsense, there's still something to do now, I'm leaving!"

This thief and cheater was actually so righteous, it seemed that she didn't steal Lu Chen's things, but it was Lu Chen's fault instead.

Lu Chen also laughed dumbly, but firstly, this little girl was really too young, and secondly, her face was so beautiful at such a young age, it really made people unable to do anything cruelly, so she waved her hand at the moment, saying : "You go, anyway, if you get caught next time, I won't be so polite."

"This shabby shop is not just passing by. I won't come if you give me money!" The girl yelled angrily, then turned and walked out the door.

Ah Tu, the black dog next to him, wagged his tail and came up to him, jumping around the girl with great enthusiasm.

The girl took a look at the black dog, especially when she saw Ah Tu's lame hind legs, she was stunned for a moment, then her eyes softened, she reached out and touched Ah Tu's head, and said, "This dog is better than you. You are much cuter than your master."

Ah Tu tilted his head, grinned and stuck out his tongue, looking affectionate, and suddenly he heard Lu Chen yelling from behind: "Stupid dog! That's a bad guy who wants to steal our things."

Ah Tu didn't seem to react for a while, and turned his head to look at Lu Chen blankly.

Lu Chen said seriously: "Hit her! Bite her!"

Ah Tu jumped up, as if he had come to his senses, the hair on his neck stood up, and he let out a low growl, baring his teeth at the girl, showing his sharp fangs, looking like a hungry wolf, in the next moment was about to jump up and bite.

"Ah!" The girl was startled, jumped away as if electrocuted, ran to the door in two steps, and then cursed at the shop, saying: "A house full of monsters, people and stupid dogs too!"

"Wow woof woof..."

With Ah Tu's roar, she rushed out, the girl screamed, and ran away, the speed was extremely fast, and she ran out of the alley in a blink of an eye.

Ah Tu chased her every step, but was stopped by Lu Chen from behind, and then he turned his head angrily, but then he seemed to be happy again, quite complacent, and circled around Lu Chen a few times, yelling non-stop, as if to have the intention of claiming credit.

Lu Chen sighed, looked at it, knelt down and grabbed Ah Tu's dog's head in front of his eyes, picked up his ears, scratched at the dog's hair, looked left and right, frowned and said: "It's strange, I remember Snow wolves and black jackals are clever and cunning monsters, why do you always look so stupid..."

"Wow, woof, woof..." Ah Tu stuck out half of his tongue and licked Lu Chen, looking very happy.

In the evening, Lao Ma came back.

As soon as he entered the house, he pulled Lu Chen to close the door and went to the backyard, then smiled and said, "The matter is finally done."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "That's good, when will you go up the mountain?"

Lao Ma said: "Three days later. A few days ago, the Kunlun School happened to hold the annual Immortal Appreciation Conference, and a new group of disciples were recruited to start. These days are the time for those who have no chance to formally start to show their magical powers. , you wont be conspicuous at all if youre sandwiched here.

Lu Chen glanced at him, and said with a smile, "What do you mean by all these different abilities?"

Lao Ma chuckled, and said in a low voice: "On the surface, the Kunlun Sect wants to accept so many direct disciples, but in fact, how many people ask for favors afterwards, and always want to squeeze their own children into it. Don't worry about it. Don't tell me you don't understand."

Lu Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "There are quite a few disciples who sneaked into the mountain gate just like me, who heard your words?"

Lao Ma smiled and said: "That's right, the Appreciation of Immortals Conference has accepted five hundred people, and at least two or three hundred people can be squeezed in privately."

"I'll go!" Lu Chen was taken aback and said, "There are so many!"

Lao Ma snorted, and said: "If you charge one more, you can charge as many spirit stones as you want. This business is better than anything else!"

Lu Chen said with emotion: "You are right!"

At night, the two of them and the dog sat in the small courtyard again. Lao Ma took a sip of wine, frowned and said to Lu Chen, "You let that little girl go like that?"

Lu Chen said helplessly: "Otherwise, what else can I do, I can't really detain her, can I?"

Lao Ma thought for a while, and said, "At least you should have asked her about her identity, origin, and name?"

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It would be a waste to ask, it would be all fake."

Lao Ma clicked his tongue twice, his eyes suddenly became a little weird, he looked at Lu Chen, and said, "I didn't realize that you still have this kind of trick, didn't you learn this from that person?"

Lu Chen smiled, picked up a glass of wine, and said lightly: "That was before I met him, I was hustling around in this city to survive. In addition to picking up some garbage, I also learned the tricks of stealing and abducting later. "

Lao Ma was stunned, and looked at Lu Chen without speaking for a long time, and then whispered after a long time: "Those who are inferior to those who are not easy to mix, you were so young back then, did you suffer a lot?"

"Mm."

Hearing Lu Chen's extremely brief answer, Lao Ma didn't know what to say for a while. After a while, he changed the topic with a dry laugh and said, "Haha, that little girl is also unlucky, and happened to pass by here, but actually ran into a connoisseur, must be angry half to death ... ..."

"No." Lu Chen suddenly spoke, interrupting Lao Ma's words.

Lao Ma was taken aback for a moment, and said, "What's wrong?"

Lu Chen smiled and looked into the cold and dark night in the distance, then took a sip of wine and said, "Back then when I did these harmful deeds, I always repeatedly checked and carefully calculated, there was never a 'coincidence'."

"As for whether she came in by chance, I don't know."
