Chapter 324: The Cowlick Little Celestial Master Also Became Formidable Today 19

After returning to the courtyard, Fu Xizhou first checked whether Cheng Luosheng's body had any injury, and then used the Soul Search Technique to examine Luosheng's soul; seeing no injury, he finally relaxed.

This fight also left him seriously injured; he could no longer maintain a normal human form. He carefully placed Cheng Luosheng's body in the courtyard, then stumbled toward the resting place prepared for himself to rest and recuperate.

Not long after he left, Cheng Cinian entered, carrying Cheng Luosheng out of the courtyard.

Half an hour later.

Cheng Cinian noticed that the person on the bed showed signs of waking; just in case, he stepped back a few steps to confirm who had awakened.

"Senior Brother?"

Cheng Luosheng felt strange, "Why are you here?"

He lowered his head to glance at the medicated abrasion on the back of his hand, secretly thinking the plan must have succeeded now.

Otherwise, at this time usually, the soul that emerges is Luosheng.

"Does that wisp of shade inside you still have self‑awareness, or not?"

Cheng Cinian exhaled in relief, sat down again, and looked at Cheng Luosheng with eyes full of worry and helplessness: "Something so big happened, yet you didn't tell us at all."

Although he knew his secret being discovered was inevitable, Cheng Luosheng hadn't expected the first to find out to be his senior brother; hearing this, he lowered his head and stayed silent, appearing obediently apologetic.

"I'm not blaming you."

Cheng Cinian lifted his chin so they could meet eyes, and said, "It's just that this matter is truly dangerous; would you rather let others help than tell your senior brother?"

Those words inexplicably carried a hint of sourness.

Cheng Luosheng was no longer a clueless child; he sensed the meaning in Cheng Cinian's words, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and saw that Cheng Cinian's eyes were openly full of affection.

The two gazed at each other in silence for a long time.

Finally Cheng Luosheng looked away, pressed his lips, and began to explain.

"It's not someone else; the Ghost King and Luosheng, to stabilize their souls, injured the Celestial Master An Wuyang who came that day for our Dao Association's examination, and even consumed his soul."

"The man in the green robe is his lover and also the director of the Underworld Investigation Bureau; emotionally we should take responsibility, since the injury occurred in our Dao Association, and logically we cannot offend the underworld deities either."

So that's how it is.

Cheng Cinian's inner sourness faded, and he involuntarily showed a smile.

"The Ghost King is now seriously injured; since that person is the bureau chief of the underworld, why not take this chance to capture him?"

This involves another of his secrets.

Cheng Luosheng thought carefully; there are still ten days until the tomb descent. If only he prepared, he'd have to subtract the time Luosheng emerges each day; it would be better to let his senior brother help as well.

Thinking this, he grabbed Cheng Cinian's arm, his tone grave.

"Senior brother, you must not tell my father and grandfather about this."

"When you were young and mischievous, what matter haven't I quietly settled for you?" Cheng Cinian replied helplessly, prompting Cheng Luosheng to laugh and begin explaining his and Jin Chen's plan.

After another lengthy explanation, Cheng Cinian finally understood their transaction.

"If that's the case, you needn't worry about the preparations before entering the tomb; I'll take care of everything."

Cheng Cinian let him relax, saying, "For these few days just rest well, replenish your energy; after entering the tomb, that person will be able to better expel the shade inside you."

Cheng Luosheng nodded, realizing the topic was finished; the other hand hidden under the blanket unconsciously clenched into a fist, and he lowered his eyes, speaking softly.

"If Luosheng says anything serious to you these days, don't take it to heart."

"I was sad a few days ago because I thought that person was you; now that I know it isn't, what is there to be sad about?"

Cheng Cinian did not spell it out; now is not the best time.

From Cheng Luosheng's adulthood to now, he has waited five years; now it's only ten days—what is there that cannot be waited for?

"I still want to rest a bit longer; senior brother, please go out first."

Suddenly sensing his soul unstable, Cheng Luosheng knew Luosheng's soul was about to emerge, and he did not want Cheng Cinian to witness that transformation.

"Mm… rest well." Cheng Cinian sighed, stroked his head, rose, and left the room.

In just a few brief moments, the person on the bed already had a different look in his eyes.

Luosheng looked around, realized he was in a room, touched his phone and discovered that, since he woke up, an entire day had actually passed.

Yesterday…

He remembered: yesterday he had intended to go straight and complain to the grandfather of this body, but as soon as he stepped out of the courtyard's main gate, his soul became unstable and he lost consciousness.

Luosheng's eyes shifted, and he hurriedly got out of bed.

Now his soul is so unstable that Cheng Luosheng can push it down for so long—this really is not a good omen.

If Fu Xizhou couldn't see him for that long, he would surely be anxious.

Thinking this, Luosheng hurried toward the courtyard.

—

【Host, the two protagonists have already met yesterday; Fu Xizhou also knows that Cheng Luosheng deliberately lured him into the formation.】

Early morning, seeing that Jin Chen was no longer busy, 0731 promptly reported.

【It's fine; he'll find out sooner or later.】

Jin Chen didn't care at all, placing the magic treasure infused with his spiritual power properly.

【Besides, I originally tried to trace An Meng's whereabouts online, only to discover that after being driven out by Little Pitiful One's master that year, he has left no trace of life, as if he had vanished from the human world.】

0731 was quite puzzled.

A person living in the modern world, no matter what, will inevitably leave all kinds of traces online, unless he lives in a remote mountain forest where no power lines reach.

【No need to check; if he really is in contact with Fu Xizhou, then on the tomb expedition An Meng will certainly come along as well.】

Knock knock knock—

A knocking sounded at the door, and a cowlick poked into the training room, followed by half a head.

"Brother Chen, may I come in?"

"Of course."

Jin Chen set down his magical treasure, lifted his eyes, and asked him, "Why did class end so early today?"

"Oh! Today the school sports meet got all the classes cancelled." An Wuyang sat down right beside him, took out the invitation in his hand, and handed it to him.

"Chen Ge, look, the Dao Association even sent me an invitation for a tomb‑raiding treasure hunt a few days from now, eh!"

He was very excited, proving that his efforts had finally been recognized!

Jin Chen, who had specially instructed Cheng Luosheng to deliver the invitation, quickly praised, "All the invitees this time are powerful Celestial Masters from Didu; this shows that our Wuyang is also a big shot."

He spared no praise, making An Wuyang overjoyed, his cowlick bouncing excitedly.

"However, before that, the most important thing is to break your seal so your strength can reach the next level."

Jin Chen indicated the several prepared magical treasures to him, "The arcane power inside is enough to sustain you through the seal‑breaking time; if you're ready, we can start tonight, otherwise we can start after school tomorrow."

An Wuyang thought for a moment, then gave his answer.
