Chapter 733: Heavenly Master and the Former Slacker 2
"No problem, I’m doing alright. I can take care of myself," Cui Wenyan politely replied, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Zhou."
"That’s good. We don’t have any particular reason, just came to check on you. If you have any difficulties, tell me, we will certainly help you solve them." Zhou Zhenghao looked around; the villa was tidy, and Cui Wenyan seemed to be in good spirits, suggesting that she was indeed accustomed to living on her own.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Cui Wenyan was still grateful to Zhou Zhenghao; this kind and gentle elder was a very famous master, quite busy in general, but his concern for her was never lacking.
"If anything comes up, make sure you let us know," Ma Dong chimed in at this moment.
Cui Wenyan nodded, but felt even more odd, as if something was off.
"By the way, Cui Wenyan, I remember your parents gave you a bracelet with a bell on it, right?" Wu Zhongyuan, who had been silent until now, spoke up.
Cui Wenyan frowned and instinctively hid her hand behind her back.
"Old Wu, what do you mean by this?" Zhou Zhenghao frowned, looking at Wu Zhongyuan with dissatisfaction.
"It’s a ghost-catching Magic Treasure, sealed all along. If the seal is broken, it has immense power. If it stays with you, the Magic Treasure’s capabilities can’t be utilized. We’ve come today to ask if we could borrow this Magic Treasure. Allowing it to fulfill its purpose is a good thing, isn’t it?" Wu Zhongyuan addressed Cui Wenyan seriously, ignoring Zhou Zhenghao.
"Impossible! It’s a keepsake from my parents. It’s my possession, and I will not give it up," Cui Wenyan stood up excitedly, glaring at Wu Zhongyuan. "So, that’s your real purpose for coming today! Apart from my parents’ funeral, you appeared just to seize their relic, didn’t you?"
"Ah, Wenyan, don’t be so agitated. You know the saying, ’A fine stone invites its own ruin.’ By giving it to us, you would also be removing a danger from yourself, isn’t that right? Keeping such an item as mere decoration is truly a waste, don’t you think?" Ma Dong earnestly said, "Allowing this Magic Treasure to fulfill its purpose, I believe your parents would want this outcome as well. Of course, we wouldn’t take it for nothing; we will compensate you well. Such as money, or ensuring you get into the university you desire."
"No need! Get out, you’re not welcome here. I said, it’s my parents’ belonging left to me, and I won’t hand it over," Cui Wenyan exclaimed angrily, "Please leave."
"Little girl, don’t refuse the toast only to drink the penalty wine," Wu Zhongyuan’s face darkened.
"Old Wu!" Ma Dong scolded. Regardless, this girl’s parents died on duty. You can’t treat her with such an attitude. Speak calmly if there’s an issue; words of threat are out of order!
"Old Wu! Old Ma! You’ve gone too far. I genuinely thought you were here for old times’ sake, to check on the child they left behind, truly wanting to care and help her; turns out you came to snatch things. Where’s your shame?" Zhou Zhenghao burst out.
Wu Zhongyuan sneered, casting a disdainful glance at Zhou Zhenghao; only this foolish fat man still believed they came today to visit someone out of concern.
"I said, I won’t hand it over. Please leave." Cui Wenyan pointed coldly at the front door, starting to give a guest-push order.
