It was drizzling tonight, and the air was wet. Even when she hid in her room, she felt exceptionally cold.
As usual, Lu Sheng coaxed the two children to sleep before returning to her room.
As she was not sleepy yet, she decided to wait for those souls to return.
She waited until it was almost midnight before they returned.
However, they were followed by a silver-haired man holding a paper umbrella.
Lu Sheng was all too familiar with that umbrella as she made it for her master. There was a drawing of Dunguang Flying Immortal on it, which she had personally drawn.
However, that face under the candlelight was completely unfamiliar.
“Who are you? Why do you have my master’s umbrella?”
Lu Sheng glared at the person and questioned him furiously.
After a sigh, Lu Sheng heard a familiar voice. “My disciple’s temper is still as bad as ever.”
She had lived with her master for more than twenty years. This voice could be said to be so familiar that it was carved into her bones.
Lu Sheng’s eyes reddened immediately.
“You are… Master?”
“Who else can it be but me?”
“It’s really Master!”
Lu Sheng tugged at Lu Zhou’s sleeve. She pouted and looked at him pitifully, tears streaming down her face.
“Master, I’ve missed you so much!”
Lu Zhou sighed softly. His little disciple was still such a crybaby.
“Why didn’t the Fate-changing Talisman I gave you work?”
He had long given her the Fate-changing Talisman to use earlier. However, she refused to listen and even sneaked out to eat on her own.
When he finally found her, there was only her corpse left. He stomped his foot in fury back then.
“How would I know that there would be a gas leak when I’m eating noodles?”
Lu Sheng felt guilty. “Also, that talisman was too precious. I couldn’t bear to use it.”
Her master had exchanged ten years of his skills to draw the talisman for her. How would she dare to use it so casually?
Lu Zhou snorted coldly and said, “You seem to be leading a good life here. Why don’t you return the talisman to me?”
“Oh, Master. Don’t be so stingy.”
Lu Sheng giggled and quickly changed the topic. “Master, why did you come here? You even changed your looks?”
“It’s all because of you!” Lu Zhou snorted coldly. “This is the price I have to pay for going against the will of heaven.”
The consequence of barging into different space-time dimensions was losing his skin.
“This is quite worth it then!” Lu Sheng giggled. “Not only did you find your only relative, but you also have this beautiful face.”
Seeing her bright eyes on him, Lu Zhou quickly reached out and turned her face away.
“Don’t drool over my body. I’m your father.”
Lu Sheng snorted coldly. “I don’t care about your old body. I’ve already seen someone younger and more handsome than you.”
“You’ve seen him?”
Lu Zhou was shocked. “Is he the magistrate from Lin Jiang Mansion?”
“Eh—”
Lu Sheng was surprised. “How did Master know?”
She did not mention this to him earlier, right?
“Is there anything I don’t know?” Lu Zhou found a stool and sat down. He looked at her and said, “He’s a good person, but his life span is too short. He’ll die before the age of thirty.”
“Huh?”
Lu Sheng’s pupils dilated and she hurriedly asked, “Why?”
“He was very smart since he was a child. However, he offended some people and was cursed to death.”
“Then… Can’t Master undo this?”
How could Chu Sihan, who had treated her so well, not live past thirty?
He had to live a long life!
Lu Zhou coughed and said slowly, “I’m a bit thirsty.”
“Oh, Master!”
Lu Sheng placed her hands on his shoulders and shook them coquettishly.
“Enough!”
Lu Zhou snorted coldly and complained unhappily. “Disciple, you’ve changed! In the past, you placed Master first for everything. Now, for an outsider, you can’t even bear to pour me a glass of water. My heart has turned cold.”
