In Lu Chuan’s view, catching a ghost was nothing. Not to mention Lu Shuixian and Lu Zihao taking action, even an ordinary member of the Lu family handling it would be a trivial matter.
Shen Yuelan actually did call Luo Chen.
“Alright, Mum knows, but after all, she will be your wife in the future. You can at least go and have a look with her, right?” Shen Yuelan said, though her fondness for Lu Shuixian had actually decreased somewhat.
“By the way, your future father in law, Lu Heshan, asked me to tell you that your engagement ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow, because the Cultivators Grand Gathering is being held early the day after that,” Shen Yuelan said.
This was actually a hint, spoken tactfully by Shen Yuelan.
However, Lu Heshan and Lu Chuan were very direct.
The meaning was to tell Luo Chen to correct his attitude.
After all, the Cultivators Grand Gathering was about to begin!
This was what annoyed Shen Yuelan the most, as it faintly carried a hint of threat.
But although the great famous mountains had been quiet these past few days, this was absolutely the calm before the storm!
The Cultivators Grand Gathering being held early was clearly targeted at Luo Chen!
When the time came, experts from all walks of life would come out in full force, and they would definitely not let the matter rest easily.
Therefore, Shen Yuelan gave Luo Chen a few more instructions over the phone.
At this critical juncture, he absolutely must not fall out with Lu Shuixian again.
At eight o’clock that evening, Lu Zihao and Lu Shuixian arrived at the main gate of No. 99 Wuzhou. The surroundings were bustling with traffic, and the neon lights were dazzling.
Yet, an ancient courtyard mansion stood abruptly among these skyscrapers, appearing exceptionally out of place.
Moreover, the walls of the courtyard were covered with ivy, densely packed.
This mansion exuded an ancient and desolate atmosphere.
Even in broad daylight, walking inside, one could feel a gloomy and terrifying aura!
Lu Shuixian and Lu Zihao took one look and immediately smiled.
They came from the Lu family and possessed an inherently acute perception of ghostly energy.
But although this ghostly energy was dense, it was extremely fragile, as if it were about to run out of oil and the lamp would go out at any moment.
Normally, such dense ghostly energy would absolutely belong to a fierce ghost, but here, although the ghostly energy was dense, it was scattered and not condensed.
Just based on this alone, it could be judged that there was only an ordinary little ghost inside.
It was not worth mentioning at all!
In terms of Lu Shuixian and Lu Zihao’s strength, it simply felt like using a cleaver to kill a chicken.
“Elder Yu, there is only a small fry inside, just catch it,” Lu Zihao said arrogantly, while casting a disdainful glance at Luo Chen.
“How about it, Mr Luo, just a little ghost, are you still afraid?”
Luo Chen ignored Lu Zihao, instead frowning and looking into the ancient mansion.
Seeing this, Lu Shuixian also slowly spoke.
“It is just a little ghost causing trouble, there is no need to worry too much.”
In Lu Shuixian’s view, Luo Chen was simply too cautious, even cautiously cowardly.
Compared to Emperor Howard, there was truly a world of difference. She liked adventure and the feeling of her heart pounding.
When in Europe, Emperor Howard often took her exploring to discover various ruins. They had been to Grimm’s Ghost Tomb and also to the notoriously fearsome castle of Count Nicholas III, the vampire.
They had even personally visited the legendary Dragon Land Cave!
But what about Luo Chen?
He would probably be scared half to death just hearing about such places, let alone going to them.
Her man, Lu Shuixian’s man, had to be the kind of man who stood tall and brave, looking down on the world!
Not someone cautious to the point of cowardice, a wimp!
Setting aside family background and strength, speaking purely of personality, Luo Chen was truly far behind Emperor Howard.
Shaking her head with hidden disappointment, Lu Shuixian stepped into the ancient No. 99 mansion first.
Lu Zihao gave Luo Chen a provocative glance, then followed him inside.
Walking through the courtyard gate, the inside was completely desolate. Fallen locust tree leaves piled up in the yard, a full foot thick.
Stepping on them produced a crunching sound, which seemed to echo in the quiet courtyard.
“Sister, are you really considering marrying this person?” Lu Zihao asked after entering, carelessly sitting down on a stone in the yard.
“Let us drag that little ghost out first,” Lu Shuixian sighed. She actually already had a plan in her heart.
Although Luo Chen had indeed performed admirably in the matter of Qin Guohao, that was not enough.
If her fiancé were Emperor Howard, she would not have needed to plead with Qin Guohao at all!
After all, Emperor Howard had the backing of the vast European nobility!
“Just a little ghost,” Lu Zihao sneered disdainfully.
“Will you come out yourself, or shall we take action?” Lu Zihao did not even look, then sneered.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Zihao’s words landed, a little boy’s face popped out from beside a pitch black pillar in the corner.
But the little boy’s face was timid, seeming extremely afraid of Lu Zihao and Lu Shuixian.
Hiding behind the pillar, he did not dare to come out, only daring to poke his head out.
“Sure enough, it is just a little ghost,” Lu Zihao sneered, pointing a finger. A golden rune bloomed in the pitch black night sky, resembling a golden lotus.
This golden lotus hovered in the void. The little boy hiding behind the pillar seemed to be instantly attracted, wanting to come out and see what it was, but he was also very afraid.
“Stop playing around,” Lu Shuixian frowned.
Hearing this, Lu Zihao immediately spread his five fingers. The golden lotus shot over like lightning, striking the little boy before he could even react.
“Ah!” A shrill, miserable scream rang out.
Subsequently, a naked boy fell to the ground, screaming in agony.
Lu Zihao did not even look, raising a hand, and the fallen little boy automatically flew over, landing in front of Lu Zihao.
“Just this little ghost?”
“You are bad people, you are all bad people,” the little boy said, casting a vicious glare at Lu Zihao.
“Hmph, just an evil spirit, and you dare call us bad people?”
“Kill it,” Lu Shuixian said without even looking at the little boy.
Meanwhile, Luo Chen, who had been outside the mansion, had been staring at the ancient building the whole time.
Until the words ‘kill it’ came out, Luo Chen seemed to remember something, then frowned and rushed in with a single stride.
“Do not hurt him.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Shuixian and Lu Zihao both frowned.
“Hmph, what is it, Mr Luo? Does this little ghost have some enormous background behind it?” Lu Zihao sneered.
“You are not going to tell me that behind this mere little ghost there is another remarkable grandfather, are you?” Lu Zihao mocked.
“He has not done any evil. The deaths of those people have nothing to do with him. It is this mansion that has turned into a haunted house. The mansion is what kills people, it has nothing to do with him,” Luo Chen explained with a frown.
“Hmph, Luo Wuji, Luo Wuji, whether he has done evil or not, what does that have to do with me?”
“He is a ghost. Even if he has not done evil, he deserves to die!”
