Chapter 27 - This Was a Lost Talisman

“Do you think I’m a fool like you!” Lu Yao said.

He was raging. With Lu Zhu’s half-baked skills, how could she draw this kind of talisman? Even he couldn’t draw it!

“Eldest Senior Brother, why do you have to inflict damage on your enemy and make yourself suffer too? If you’re stupid, so be it, but I’m not! I was the one who drew this talisman. I’ve been studying hard, it touched the heavens, and I was inspired. I can’t be a loser forever, right?” Hearing what the eldest senior brother had said, Lu Zhu became unhappy.

“Slap!”

The ruler appeared even though it was late! Lu Yao took out the ruler at some point and hit it hard on Lu Zhu’s hand. Lu Zhu was in great pain that tears immediately fell. She quickly raised her hand to her mouth and blew it. Lu Yao was too ruthless. A red streak had appeared on her hand!

“This is a lost mustard seed talisman!” said Eldest Senior Brother. “Even the master couldn’t draw it. How could you draw it? Lu Zhu, I’m so disappointed with you!”

“Mustard seed talisman?” Lu Zhu was stunned. She had never even heard of it before. But where did this talisman come from? She looked at her eldest senior brother, and that evil man was still holding her bag in one hand.

Wait a minute! The bag? Was this talisman taken out of the bag? She had planned to bring the bag back to her room to keep it. Indeed, she had not taken a good look at it.

Although Lu Zhu was not very smart, she still had her principle in judging right or wrong.

“Eldest Senior Brother, is there anything wrong with this talisman?”

At this moment, she no longer hid the truth and revealed in detail what had happened at the shop today, which included her little mistake of trying to embezzle the public funds. She raised her hand and swore that she would use her personal savings to make up for the loss.

Of course, even though she was a good-for-nothing, her eldest senior brother was a capable person. Even if the sky fell, there would still be someone like him to take care of it! For a big matter, a small fly like her would not be expected to take the brunt of it.

On the other side, Lu Yao was angered by Lu Zhu’s honesty, but it was not the right time for him to flare up. He just pressed on Lu Zhu and asked for more details, such as what the other party looked like and how old she was.

As for the other party’s cultivation level, Lu Yao did not even bother to ask. Based on Lu Yao’s half-baked skills, it was considered good enough that she could tell that the other party was a “female and alive”.

“Did you say she is blind?” Lu Yao asked.

“Strictly speaking, she should be half-blind.” Lu Zhu thought about it and said, “I don’t think her vision is affected too much, but her eyes are covered with a layer of cataracts.”

Cataracts… this was a very obvious characteristic. If she were to go around outside, with the research institute’s strength and status, he should have heard about her.

Lu Yao thought again, but he could not recall such an expert.

This expert who suddenly appeared at the outskirts of Mount Qingcheng had purposely waited for such an ignorant person like Lu Zhu and left this talisman behind. Her intention of testing them was very obvious.

He did not know if this expert was a friend or a foe. If she was hostile, she was indeed a big threat to the research institute…

Forget it, if the army came, the general would block it. He did not even know the other party’s name, so he could only take things one step at a time. The research institute had been established for thousands of years. It wouldn’t be scared so easily!

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my bag!”

“Why did I bring back such an ignorant fool! Didn’t the school teach the story about buying a casket and returning a pearl to its owner in primary school?” Lu Yao thought.

“You better be careful. I’ve never seen this person before. I don’t know if she’s a friend or a foe. Don’t go out and wander around for the time being..”
