Chapter 241: Jinxed
"..." Everyone was speechless when they saw this man. Even Shi Lan had no words to say because of the people this time.
The guy clasped his hands gently and greeted her, "Senior Sister Shi Lan."
"Uh. Zhang Wei." Shi Lan nodded to him.
"Although this is a bit rude, but may I know who they are?" Zhang Wei took a peek of those three while furrowing his eyebrows.
"You should have heard Master’s voice earlier, right?"
"Indeed." Zhang Wei confirmed without hesitation.
"He wants me to bring them to Master’s place. Though, I don’t know what’s going on as well, so it’s better for Master to deal with it." Shi Lan explained while hinting him to not do anything because he would face Li Mu. "Even I don’t know their names because of the rush."
"I see. So, that’s how it is." Zhang Wei nodded before clasping his hand toward them. "I am Zhang Wei. It’s my pleasure to meet new Junior Brothers and Sister."
Zhang Wei also took a peek at their cultivation and realized Albert was slightly weird since he had a hard time seeing through his cultivation. It seemed that they were not ordinary people.
Albert and the others clasped their hands and greeted him back as formality.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Wei actually walked away after saying, "I need to leave for a mission, so please excuse me."
"Yes. Be careful on the mission." Shi Lan smiled while letting out a breath of relief inwardly as if she had just escaped from a huge ordeal.
Albert and Gin exchanged looks, communicating with each other through their minds.
’They’re not like what you said, Gin.’
’No, no. I think this one is the friendly character. After all, those who are a bit smarter should have been befriended.’
’So, we need to meet more people to confirm the speculation?’
’Yes.’
Since the two came to an agreement, they continued to follow Shi Lan as they walked to the top without any problem on the way.
Even Natasha lowered her guard and started looking at the bottom of the mountain, finding a vast green scenery that could make one heart at peace.
"The view is so great," said Natasha while smiling.
"Indeed. It’s so peaceful and cool. The energy is also rich, so it’s perfect for cultivation." Shi Lan nodded.
While the two girls talked to each other, Albert once again said to Gin inwardly, ’Gin. There is nothing like what you said.’
’I don’t know, Teacher.’
’Well, I don’t think she will make a fuss even if she wins the bet...’
’That’s true. I guess this is just a small bet like you said. Luckily, I didn’t press there or our relationship would be bad.’
’Yeah.’
Suddenly, they heard Shi Lan saying, "We should be able to arrive within five minutes after passing this last living quarters."
However, right after she said those words, a male’s voice echoed from the small plain that seemed to host a few houses. "Well, isn’t this Lan’er?"
Albert and Gin had the same reaction as they both said the same thing, ’She jinxed it.’
’Still, what’s Lan’er?’ Albert asked Gin through the system.
’If I remember correctly, they have two ways to call someone with affection, it’s either to add ’er’ to their name or repeat their name. For example, that Lan’er or Lan Lan.’
’I see.’
"Su Hao." Even Shi Lan furrowed her eyebrows when she saw this man.
"Don’t forget my title. I am Master Li Mu’s disciple. Don’t be too casual with me." Shi Lan snorted, glaring at this young man who was wearing fancy clothes and holding a fan.
"Lan’er. Don’t be too full of yourself just because you’re Elder Li Mu’s disciple. My Su Family has even more resources compared to Elder Li Mu alone. And I will be the patriarch of the Su Family sooner or later. If you become my woman, you can get all those resources."
Albert was wondering if he was comparing his family’s wealth with the sect, but realized it was only Li Mu alone. In the end, the sect still had more resources than a small family like him.
"Who wants to be your woman? Only an idiot will become your woman!" Shi Lan gritted her teeth, annoyed by him.
However, Su Hao’s attention shifted to Albert instead of Shi Lan. Gin and Natasha were ignored because Gin’s cultivation was too low while Natasha hid her body and face. Only Albert seemed to possess some sort of challenge to him, especially with the fact that he was a demon.
"What is this? To think you would bring a dog here." Su Hao snorted, showing his racism. "To think you would choose a dog over me. What is the meaning of this, Shi Lan?"
Su Hao’s expression became extremely cold as if he was betrayed.
However, this was also the answer Albert had been waiting for. It truly showed how most people in this world was braindead. Even Albert didn’t understand why would something like this happen.
’It seems Gin told me the fact. To think there’s someone who would be offended simply because there’s another person there. And to make it worse, he’s targeting me even though we come here with a group. Something is wrong with his brain.’ Albert thought while having a troubled face.
On the contrary, Su Hao was gnashing his teeth, angry to see someone approach his woman.
"Stop, Su Hao! What do you think you’re doing?" Shi Lan stepped forward to stop him. "They’re my Master’s guests!"
"Then, they must be special. I need to test them if they really fit or not to be Elder Li Mu’s disciple." Su Hao closed his bamboo fan and pushed it forward as if he was stabbing with a knife.
"You!" Shi Lan hurriedly grabbed Su Hao’s wrist to stop him from hitting Albert.
However, Su Hao didn’t stop there. He had an evil smile on his face as he opened the fan. "Explode!"
"No!" Shi Lan shouted before a huge wind erupted, hitting Albert hard enough to make him fall off the mountain.
*Boom!*
