Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Fair Trade Chapter 210: Chapter 210 Fair Trade After the final exam, they all found out that the exam scope they had asked the pen spirit about had been completely covered.
Facing this situation, the four of them didn’t feel happy but rather a sense of panic.
Then the school closed for vacation, and seeing that there was nothing urgent, they temporarily put their worries aside.
However, Zhou Shaohua had not expected that he’d be in trouble so soon after vacation started. As for whether the other three friends were also in trouble, he had no idea.
“You guys really have the guts!” Zhong Niangyao sneered, “To think you’d dare to summon the pen spirit, and not only did you bring them here, you didn’t send them away. No wonder you are being haunted.”
“You stinky kid, you actually dared to ss with such things.” Zhou Huai’an glared fiercely at Zhou Shaohua, “We really should just ignore you. This is self-inflicted.”
Although he said this, his face revealed his worry as he looked at Zhong Niangyao and earnestly spoke, “Lady Zhong, please save Shaohua! The child only did it out of curiosity.”
“I had never imagined that we would actually be able to summon the pen spirit,” Zhou Shaohua said regrettably, the remorse clearly visible on his face. “I had just thought it sounded fun and didn’t expect the pen spirit to actually exist.”
“What you summoned was not just any pen spirit, but an Evil Ghost,” Zhong Niangyao directly retorted coldly. “It’s not that easy to summon a real pen spirit. But you had to go to a place with such heavy yin energy, where ghosts are most abundant. You’re just out of luck to have been haunted by an Evil Ghost.”
“Ah, I didn’t do it on purpose,” Zhou Shaohua nearly cried. “We really just thought it was fun, who knew it would turn out this way!”
“The situation with the other three is also unknown now,” Zhong Niangyao frowned. “You didn’t send the pen spirit away, and now you are truly haunted by the Evil Ghost. And what’s most important is—”
“What is it?” Zhou Huai’an and Sun Qin asked anxiously.
“When they summoned the pen spirit, it was to ask about the final exam content,” Zhong Niangyao continued. “The pen spirit has already told them the answers, and they have finished their exams. That ans—”
“Their deal has co into effect,” Lu Yichen interjected.
“Deal?” Zhao Xuanglang was sowhat confused. “Boss, do you an they were making a deal with the pen spirit?”
“Isn’t that obvious?” Zhong Niangyao responded irritably. “Did you think the pen spirit is just a selfless helper here to solve your problems? In this world, there’s no such thing as a free lunch! Since they wanted answers from the pen spirit, naturally, the pen spirit would want sothing in return. That’s a fair trade.”
“Stupid kid, what exactly did you promise the pen spirit?” Sun Qin asked urgently. “Hurry up and tell us, this concerns your nickna!”
“We didn’t agree to anything!” Zhou Shaohua felt he was innocent. “Such a significant matter—how could I conceal it?”
“Lady Zhong, then what—” Zhou Huai’an looked sowhat troubled towards Zhong Niangyao. “What should we do now?”
“Having agreed to nothing is the scariest part,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head. “What you wanted, he has already given. But now, you must give what he wants. Most importantly, you didn’t properly send away that Evil Ghost.”
“Now the most important thing is to figure out what exactly the Evil Ghost plans to do. You must gather the other three people too, so everyone involved can sort this out.”
Without hesitation, Zhou Huai’an imdiately started contacting the other three friends Zhou Shaohua had ntioned.
Since everyone had not yet gathered, they couldn’t resolve the issue just yet. So, Zhong Niangyao headed to the living room to enjoy so tea and snacks.
Zhou Huai’an and Sun Qin were busy contacting the families of the other three.
After reaching out, they discovered that the other three also had various issues. One, Ling Chao, similar to Zhou Shaohua, showed signs of fainting and organ failure. As for Wu Guangji and Chu Xu, they had only fallen into a coma.
The families of the other three, upon receiving Zhou Huai’an’s call, were sowhat skeptical. However, after hearing that Zhou Huai’an had already woken up, they agreed to bring their children over imdiately.
Zhao Xuanglang didn’t go downstairs but stayed in the room, keeping Zhou Shaohua company.
Although Zhou Shaohua didn’t have much strength yet, after sleeping so much, he didn’t want to sleep any longer. Or rather, he was afraid to sleep again, fearing he might fall into a coma once more. So, he had Zhao Xuanglang stay with him, and they could chat to kill ti.
In the living room—
Zhong Niangyao was eating so snacks while turning to Lu Yichen next to her, “Don’t you have your things to do? Why waste ti here?”
“I think it’s pretty interesting!” Lu Yichen smiled, “Besides, isn’t this kind of thing fun?”
“You find this interesting?” Zhong Niangyao raised an eyebrow, her tone incredulous. “Are you kidding ?”
Even soone brave enough to enter ancient tombs finding interest in such trifles was unbelievable. She was among those who wouldn’t believe it.
“Why wouldn’t I believe it?” Lu Yichen gazed steadily at Zhong Niangyao, his eyes hinting at an indescribable aning, “Anything involving you interests . Moreover, being with you, whatever we do, I find it quite entertaining.”
Watching Lu Yichen’s gaze, Zhong Niangyao felt her heartbeat slow for a mont, but she quickly recovered and turned her head away, no longer looking at him. “I think you’re probably just bored. What, you have nothing else to do? I rember that the Lu Family is about to hold a big event!”
She was referring to Lu Chenran and Long Jiarui’s wedding, which had already been discussed previously. The current progress should have been sowhat clear. The Lu Family hosting such an important event should be quite busy!
“Lu Chenran’s wedding has nothing to do with ,” Lu Yichen’s tone was very cold. “He has his own parents to handle all the proceedings. As for , showing up on that day is all that’s needed.”
Listening to Lu Yichen’s cold words, Zhong Niangyao felt an odd sensation in her heart.
She always felt that Lu Yichen’s relationship with the Lu Family seed quite indifferent.
