Chapter 518: Unfamiliar Youth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Netherworld, King of Hades' Palace.

“Han Er, have you really decided?” Lu Ying sighed and asked softly.

“Yes.” Chu Sihan nodded slightly. “I've decided. From tomorrow onwards, I'll enter seclusion.”

With his current strength, he was still not enough to withstand an even bigger lightning tribulation. If he was not careful, his soul might dissipate.

He could not take this risk. For Lu Sheng and for himself.

“Since you've decided, we won't say anything else.”

The King of Hades patted his hand lightly. “I can't help you with this difficulty. You have to complete it yourself. When the time comes, I'll tell Meng Po clearly to choose a good family for you first.”

Chu Sihan said in a low voice, “It doesn't matter if it's good or not. I just need to be close to Sheng Sheng.”

Everything he did was to meet Lu Sheng again. Everything else was not within his considerations.

The King of Hades nodded. “I'll make the arrangements.”

After Chu Sihan bade them farewell, he entered seclusion.

Jiang Zhong, Yun Guagua, and Ai Shui guarded him.

A hundred years later.

It was a hot summer day. In a mansion, a fair-skinned girl with a high ponytail was standing on the balcony. She was enjoying a box of ice cream.

“I've found a school for you. You can report to school tomorrow.”

A tall and handsome man in his thirties walked in with an acceptance letter.

The girl turned around and frowned slightly. “I've lived for more than a hundred years. Do I still need to go to school?”

“You also know that you've lived for more than a hundred years?” The man snorted coldly. “You haven't even attended school.”

“So what if I haven't attended school?” The girl was indignant. “I know everything they know. Why should I ask for trouble?”

“Shenger, come over quickly. Uncle bought you a few dresses. Go and try them on.”

Another extraordinary-looking, tall man in a white suit walked in.

“Uncle Shangguan, I can't fit them in my closet anymore.”

Lu Sheng spoke helplessly.

Back then, they happened to meet the rare time when the seven stars were connected. Then, Shangguan Dian came over with them.

He was not interested in anything else but running around. He would either fly here or there. Every time he returned, he would bring her a bunch of clothes that he thought were pretty.

Needless to say, Shangguan Dian had good taste. The clothes he chose for her were all suitable for her.

However, after so many years, there were still many things in the closet that had not been removed.

Lu Sheng walked forward and casually picked one up. When she saw the price on it, she could not help but click her tongue.

The six figures made her heart ache.

“If you have too much money and have nowhere to spend, you can give it to me.”

Lu Zhou walked over with a cup of hot water and passed it to Shangguan Dian. He glanced at the clothes and spoke faintly.

Shangguan Dian said disapprovingly, “This bit of money is nothing. If you want money, I still have ten million yuan here. If it's not enough, I'll get a friend to auction a few pieces of jewelry for me tomorrow. There will be more than a hundred million yuan.”

“I think Master is right.” Lu Sheng chuckled. “Uncle Shangguan, if you have too much money and have nowhere to spend, you can transfer it to my bank card.”

As she spoke, she gave a string of numbers.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Dian gave her a black card. “There's no password. You can spend it however you want.”

“Enough.”

Lu Zhou pushed the card back and said lightly, “Is she lacking money? After so many years, she might have more money than us combined.”

Shangguan Dian thought for a while and felt that Lu Zhou had a point.

Hence, he kept the card.

Lu Sheng snorted and sat on the sofa, digging into the ice cream silently.

“I heard you mention a school just now. What school?”

Shangguan Dian placed the luggage aside and asked suspiciously.

“Master gave me an acceptance letter and told me to report to high school tomorrow morning.”

She was already more than a hundred years old, yet she needed to hang out with a group of children. Wasn't that outrageous?

Although her face looked similar to a seventeen-year-old girl, she was already a grandma to those children.

“If I tell you to go, go. This is your identity card.”

Lu Zhou took out an identity card from his pocket. It was Lu Sheng herself.

“Sixteen years old?”

Lu Sheng's mouth twitched. “Master, isn't that too big a discount?”

“Why?” Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “You're unhappy now that I've made you younger?”

Lu Sheng sighed softly. “Must I go?”

Lu Zhou nodded. “Definitely.”

“Why?” She did not understand.

Although she had not attended school before, her knowledge was the same as what she had learned in school.

Lu Zhou held his eyes and said lightly, “Last year, two students and a teacher jumped off a building and committed suicide within two months. Not long ago, another security guard jumped off a building and committed suicide.”

“Someone asked me for help. However, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave this task to you.”

“Oh, so it's to carry out a mission.”

Lu Sheng pouted and raised her eyebrows. “Where's the money?”

“I'll transfer a hundred thousand yuan to your card.”

Lu Sheng nodded slightly. “Okay.”

As long as there was money, there was nothing that she could not complete.

She wanted to save a lot of money. When Ah Han came over, she would buy a car and a house for him.

“Do you want Uncle's help?” Shangguan Dian asked.

Lu Sheng shook her head. “No need. It's just a small matter.”

“Here, the acceptance letter.”

Lu Zhou passed her the acceptance letter.

Lu Sheng received it and tore it open. She realized that it was City H's Yizhong. City H was also the city she was in now.

When she saw the name, she raised an eyebrow. “Jiang Jing?”

She blinked. “Why can't I use my real name?”

Wow, he even changed her surname.

Lu Zhou said disapprovingly, “It's just to complete the mission. There's no need to use your real name.”

“Alright.”

Lu Sheng nodded and stood up to put the items in her room.

“Who's cooking today?”

When Lu Sheng came out, Shangguan Dian suddenly asked.

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Zhou and realized that he was also looking at her.

She shrugged. “I'm not hungry anyway.”

“Shall we go to the restaurant today?” Shangguan Dian suggested.

“Okay.” Lu Sheng nodded without thinking.

Lu Zhou snorted. “Aren't you not hungry?”

She said self-righteously, “If I cook, I won't feel hungry. But if I don't cook, I'll feel hungry.”

Lu Zhou was speechless.

Shangguan Dian chuckled. He tidied his sleeve and stood up. “Let's go. It's my treat today. Where do you want to go to eat?”

“Jade Hotel.”

The father-daughter pair spoke at the same time.

Shangguan Dian nodded. “Okay, I'll drive. Make the preparations.”

Lu Zhou said lightly, “What's there to preapre for? Let's go now.”

With his looks, did he need to dress up?

Lu Sheng said, “I'm so pretty. Everything I wear is high-class.”

Shangguan Dian, who had reached the door, glanced speechlessly at the father-daughter pair's feet. “At least change your shoes?”

The duo lowered their heads at the same time and realized that they were wearing slippers…

Lu Sheng laughed dryly. “Then, wait for me to change my shoes.”

Lu Zhou also returned to his room. The two of them changed their shoes and walked out.

Ever since Shangguan Dian learned how to drive, he had become obsessed with various luxury cars.

There were more than ten luxury cars in the garage.

As there were three of them, he chose a two-door, four-seater sports cars.

The three of them reached Jade Hotel quickly.

The items in this hotel were as expensive as the name suggested.

Anything would cost a few hundred to a thousand yuan, and a bottle of wine would cost more than ten thousand yuan.

Even Lu Sheng felt that it was very luxurious.

She only came over when she wanted to take advantage of Shangguan Dian and Lu Zhou. Most of the time, she only ate at roadside stalls.

She could not bear to spend money. After all, she had to provide for Chu Sihan.

Although she had not met him yet, she had to save the money.

If he reincarnated into a poor family, she could help him.

“Do you want to have a drink?”

When they entered the hotel, Shangguan Dian asked Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou nodded. “Okay, but we have to find a substitute driver.”

Lu Sheng walked at the back. She lowered her head and looked at her phone. It was five in the afternoon.

“Han Er, remember to report to school tomorrow. Don't be late.”

A lady walked past her.

Perhaps because of the words 'Han Er,' Lu Sheng subconsciously stopped in her tracks.

She glanced at the lady's back and smiled faintly.

Perhaps she missed Chu Sihan too much, so when she heard the word 'Han,' she could not help but think of Chu Sihan.

“Why are you still standing there?”

Seeing that she did not follow, Lu Zhou turned around and looked at her suspiciously.

“Coming.”

Lu Sheng calmed herself down and hurried after them with a smile.

The three of them entered a room and had just finished ordering the dishes when someone brought tea in quickly. After pouring tea for the three of them, he retreated silently.

After filling their stomachs, the three of them found a substitute driver and returned to the mansion.

At night, Lu Zhou received a call and left with Shangguan Dian.

Lu Sheng was the only one left in the huge mansion.

Before Lu Zhou left, he gave her a name card. It was the name card of the principal of Yizhong. He told her to find Principal Gao tomorrow.

The next day.

Lu Sheng changed into a set of casual clothes and placed the acceptance letter and name card into her bag. Then, she pulled her luggage and went out to take a taxi.

She knew how to drive, but she was 'underage' now, so she could not drive there directly.

Soon, an empty taxi stopped in front of her.

Lu Sheng opened the door and sat in. She said to the driver, “Yizhong.”

The driver was a man in his forties. He looked quite kind.

“Miss, you're reporting to school, right?”

The driver asked after starting the car.

Lu Sheng nodded slightly. “Yes.”

“It seems like your results are good. My daughter is from Yizhong too. However, she's in her third year of high school. She's going to take the college entrance examination this year.”

Lu Sheng smiled and did not speak further.

The mansion was quite far from school. It took half an hour to arrive.

Lu Sheng alighted after paying.

As it was the start of school, the school gate was filled with people and parked cars.

Perhaps because her appearance was too eye-catching, Lu Sheng attracted a lot of attention the moment she entered the school.

However, she seemed to be used to such a gaze.

“May I know where the principal's office is?”

Lu Sheng went to the security booth and asked the security guard.

The security guard sized her up and a hint of disdain flashed across his face.

“Walk forward, then go to the second floor of the last building.”

“Thank you.”

Lu Sheng thanked him lightly and continued walking.

“People nowadays are so good. Everyone uses the back door.”

After Lu Sheng left, the security guard shook his head and mumbled.

Lu Sheng kept walking forward. When she reached the last building, she went straight to the second floor.

Outside the corridor on the second floor, a plump middle-aged man wearing glasses was on the phone.

“You found someone else, right? A girl? Okay, okay. Mr. Lu, go ahead and busy yourself.”

When Lu Sheng approached, the man hung up.

“Excuse me, are you Principal Gao?”

Lu Sheng walked forward and asked faintly.

“Yes. Who are you?”

Principal Gao looked at her suspiciously.

Lu Sheng said, “My name is Jiang Jing. I'm the person Lu Zhou found.”

“Huh?”

Principal Gao looked at her in disbelief. “Miss, are you sure that Mr. Lu found you?”

“Do you need me to call him?” Lu Sheng asked.

“No need, no need!” Principal Gao smiled and hurriedly gestured for her to enter. “Miss Jiang, please come in! Let's sit and talk.”

Lu Sheng nodded slightly and walked in first.

“What's going on?”

After Lu Sheng sat down, she asked faintly.

“It's like this.” Principal Gao adjusted his glasses and said in a low voice, “We just built a school building in the south last year. Unexpectedly, within a few months, two students jumped off a building and committed suicide. After investigating the reason, it was said that they were under too much pressure.”

“Later, two months later, another teacher committed suicide at the same spot.”

“This teacher's family conditions were poor and everyone relied on her to support them. At first, everyone felt that she was like the two students, under too much pressure.”

“However, half a month ago, another security guard from a nearby restaurant committed suicide from that building. According to our understanding, that security guard was only in his twenties. He didn't have any pressure in his life usually, and there was nothing wrong with his body. He also didn't have any grudges with anyone. Moreover, according to the surveillance cameras, he did went up and jumped down himself.”

Lu Sheng frowned. “That school building isn't sealed yet?”

“It's already sealed.”

Principal Gao said, “Ever since the three cases of suicide last year, the school sealed that place.”

Lu Sheng nodded. “I'll take a look tonight.”

Principal Gao nodded. “Thank you, Miss Jiang!”

Such things happened consecutively in school. Now, many parents were worried about letting the students stay late in school. They did not even allow night study classes. This made him very troubled.

He had also found Lu Zhou through his friend's introduction.

Lu Sheng nodded slightly.

Principal Gao seemed to have thought of something and stood up. “Why don't I bring Miss Jiang to register?”

“No need. I can go myself.”

Lu Sheng stood up and pulled her luggage out of the principal's office. Two teenagers walked towards her.

Both of them were wearing school uniforms. One of them was tall, about 1.81 meters tall. His skin was very fair, and his facial features were handsome. His messy hair covered his eyes, and his expression was faint.

When his gaze landed on Lu Sheng's face, he seemed to pause for a moment, but quickly recovered his indifference.

Then, he brushed past her.

Lu Sheng stopped and turned back. She stared at the youth's back suspiciously.

For some reason, she felt that the unfamiliar youth looked familiar.

She shook her head and pulled her luggage downstairs again.

However, she did not realize that the moment she turned around, the youth suddenly turned back and stared at her retreating back. His face was also filled with confusion.
