(This large chapter of 8,000 words may not be explosive, but it's still longer than a normal update.)
·
He Rong was in a pretty good mood that night.
She had visited both Daqing's and Yingying's families in the afternoon, and both were still plagued with bad luck.
Anyway, when He Rong saw others doing well, she felt terrible!
But when she saw others in misery, her heart felt at ease!
You couldn't really explain how such scumbags came to exist in the world, but undeniably, there were quite a few of them around.
He Rong was just one of the more extreme members of that small group.
And yet, she possessed the ability to commit evil deeds.
·
He Rong lay on her bed, listlessly flipping through channels with the remote control. In reality, she was wondering, Should I secretly visit that Sun girl tomorrow?
Hmph. What a pity to have wasted one of my Seeds.
This magical fruit that can bring misfortune to people... I don't have many of them, and I have to nurture them slowly within my body until they ripen.
In recent years, only three have matured.
One was for Daqing's father—that old coot opened a restaurant with all those gongs and fireworks, just showing off! And I used to like Daqing; who did he think he was to disagree with me?
PAH!
The second went to Yingying, the owner of that little shop. Humph, I've hated her since we were kids! Prettier than me, a better figure than me, and more likable too. Just seeing her face makes me want to scratch it to pieces! Running a little shop, so popular with the neighbors... Does she think I'd let her prosper?
PAH!!
As for the third Seed, I originally had two targets. One was that girl from our neighborhood who goes to a key high school.
So what if she's good at studying? Attends a key high school, thinks she's going to make something of herself? I'll make her life miserable! That's what makes me happy!
The other option was a team leader at work, that old hag. She uses her position to pick on me for no reason, docking my pay several times for being late or leaving early. Then she hypocritically lectures me about working hard—what a show-off!
I originally planned to use the ripe third Seed on one of those two.
But a few days ago, when I went to Lin Xiaona's house and met Sun Keke, I impulsively used it on her!
Why does that Sun girl get to be so pretty! And have such a good figure!!!
Lin Xiaona said her dad is the dean of students at their school, and he's about to be promoted to vice principal?
PAH!
Why doesn't someone like that just drop dead! Pretty, great figure, popular at school, and her dad's a school leader?
People like that get all the good things in life!
It would be great if she just died!
So, on impulse that day, I used the third Seed on Sun Keke.
After all, seeing those who had it all made He Rong feel uncomfortable and unhappy from the bottom of her heart!
She only felt joy thinking about such people meeting with misfortune.
This incredible power had awakened in He Rong when she was a child.
But in the beginning, the power was very weak; she only vaguely sensed that she was capturing some indescribable and mystic intuitions.
It wasn't until two or three years ago, during a dream, that she inadvertently entered the Consciousness Space.
After several more experiences, she realized that she might have gained an extraordinary ability.
In her Consciousness Space, the various negative thoughts that plagued her daily life eventually gave birth to Seeds, which she could feel germinating, growing, and nourishing within her Consciousness Space every day, every time she dreamed, as if nurturing something.
Until a few months ago, the first fruit ripened. He Rong suddenly discovered that she could manipulate this fruit with her own thoughts while entering that magical dream.
After waking up, she could even summon this thing to play with in her hand—only she couldn't let it leave her body; once it left her body, the fruit would immediately wither.
The first time He Rong discovered she could use this fruit was on Daqing's father.
She surreptitiously made contact with his body, patting Daqing's father's shoulder, and then cautiously infused the invisible fruit into the other's body...
With just a touch, it vanished into the other person!
Then, He Rong began to watch in secret.
In just a few days, Daqing's father got scalded by hot oil while cooking in the restaurant.
He had to rest for many days after that.
Later on, Daqing's father made a mistake counting money, resulting in that day's business at the restaurant amounting to nothing.
He Rong gradually mastered the use of her mysterious power!
The only thing that dissatisfied her was...
The fruit takes too long to mature!
Too, too slow!
It can only mature one by one.
There are so many people in this world living well, living happily! I really want all of them to suffer misfortune!
All of them should just die!
A self-taught prodigy, her power had awakened.
From this perspective, He Rong could be considered a genius among geniuses with unique gifts.
But given her personality and character, if such a person were to truly grow, she would be an absolute disaster to the world.
He Rong didn't fall asleep until the wee hours of the night.
This time, in her sleep, she once again entered that magical Consciousness Space—she didn't yet know what it was; she could only naively call it a mystical dream.
In the dream, in He Rong's Consciousness Space, there was a peculiar chaos that seemed like a tree, its countless strands of consciousness weaving together fruits still in germination.
He Rong happily "watched" this scene, watching one of the fruits getting closer and closer to maturity...
In the dream...suddenly, He Rong felt a force surge in from the outside, crashing into her dream!
That force, as if descending from the heavens, swept over her "fruit tree" like a tide, entangling it layer by layer after enveloping it...
In the dream, He Rong tried to scream, but this was a Consciousness Space, where no sound could be made.
Anxiety filled her heart, but she didn't know how to stop it, as the force easily scattered and pushed through her consciousness, and then He Rong felt her own sensations growing weaker and weaker...
"AHHHH!!!!"
Finally, with a shrill scream, He Rong woke from her dream, sitting up straight!
When she opened her eyes, He Rong suddenly screamed again, "AH!!"
Where is my bedroom? This isn't my home!
Above her was the pitch-black night sky, filled with cool breezes on a summer night; beneath her was the hard concrete slab...
Not far away was the external equipment of a water heater...
He Rong realized she was now on the rooftop terrace!
The woman frantically got up, looked around in horror, and then suddenly remembered her experience in her dream.
She immediately closed her eyes, carefully sensing her Consciousness Space, and after opening her eyes, her complexion instantly turned pale.
"Where did it go!! Where did it go!! How could it disappear!!"
Behind her, a cold voice came through, "Looking for this?"
He Rong suddenly turned around, only to see a teenager standing quietly a few steps away behind her.
In the youth's hand, with his palm spread open, in the midst of swirling mists within his palm, there was clearly a chaotic entity shaped like a tree! On it hung fruits that were in the midst of forming...
He Rong's eyes widened, and then she screamed, "Give it back to me!!"
She opened her arms and lunged forward, but the teenager simply stepped lightly to the side, avoiding her, then drifted behind He Rong.
He Rong shrieked loudly, trying several times to pounce but to no avail—apart from this ability that was almost like a [curse], He Rong was no different from an ordinary person.
Chen Nuo intentionally angered her, and after letting He Rong lunge a few times, he confirmed this in his heart.
Without this ability to harm others in secret, she's just a normal person.
His finger flicked lightly, and He Rong's body was suddenly enveloped by Telekinesis, lying rigid on the ground!
Chen Nuo stood in front of her, "How long has your ability been awakened? How many people have you harmed?"
The expression on He Rong's face twisted, "You, who are you! Who the hell are you!! Give my treasure back to me!!! You've come to steal my treasure, haven't you! Give it back to me!!"
"Give it back to you, so you can go on to harm innocent people with your malicious heart?" Chen Nuo shook his head and sneered, "I must say, it's my first time seeing this kind of power. Quite fascinating, isn't it."
He Rong calmed down, her eyes wide open as she lay on the concrete, looking at Chen Nuo.
Chen Nuo held the "tree" in his palm that he had uprooted from the very depths of He Rong's Consciousness Space, contemplated for a moment, then released a thick wave of Telekinesis, wrapping it layer by layer.
Chen Nuo felt that when this object came into contact with his spiritual power, it seemed to come into contact with some kind of nutrient, as it instantly burst forth with vitality.
At the same time, it was dissolving and eroding his Telekinesis slowly yet subtly.
Following his past experiences, Chen Nuo used his Telekinesis to form a thick cocoon, wrapping the object layer by layer, then brought it into his own Consciousness Space.
As He Rong saw Chen Nuo's palm emptied of the object, her face turned even uglier, "You, give it back to me, that's mine! Mine!!"
With a wave of his hand, Chen Nuo had He Rong close her eyes and pass out stiff as a board.
Chen Nuo huffed, and with a gentle touch on her forehead, a tremendous spiritual power was injected!
This power rampaged through He Rong's Consciousness Space, shattering the mental strength of an ordinary person into utter disarray, crushing everything in its path.
With a motion, he controlled his Telekinesis, throwing He Rong back from the rooftop to her room at home, then Chen Nuo disappeared into the night.
·
The next morning, residents near the XX community witnessed quite a scene.
The chubby, short woman from the community, He Rong, had gone mad!
This woman rushed out of the community early in the morning, screaming and bellowing in the streets.
She went to the entrance of a restaurant and cursed at Daqing and his son, "Think you're great because you run a restaurant! Sooner or later, you'll be scalded to death by boiling oil! Hope you die the moment you step outside!"
She then ran to the convenience store, laughing and yelling at Yingying, who was cleaning up the mess, "Burn to death, burn it all! Why do you have to be so pretty! It'd be better if your face were ruined!"
In the end, the woman started to act hysterically on the road, crying out loud, and even began to undress herself.
Eventually, she was restrained by the onlooking neighbors from nearby, and soon after, the police and paramedics were called.
Later it was heard that the girl was admitted to a mental hospital...
·
In the morning, Chen Nuo was sitting in quiet contemplation at his home.
There was now a "Tree of Misfortune" in his Consciousness Space.
Chen Nuo could clearly feel that, ever since this Tree of Misfortune took root in his Consciousness Space...
His [sensing] of this world had gained an additional layer of change!
Subtly, within his original perception, looking at this world, looking at the skies above, it seemed there was an existence that had not been there before.
It was very faint, hard to capture, but it could be sensed indistinctly.
The faint sense of perception, although not very clear, was indeed a power Chen Nuo could confirm he had never possessed before!
Chen Nuo frowned. Is this considered... taking that woman's Special Ability?
The actual situation was a bit more complicated...
It was He Rong's natural talent, so she was intrinsically immune to the "misfortune" she created.
But Chen Nuo was not immune.
Therefore, he could only use his Telekinesis to envelop the "Tree of Misfortune," intensifying the cage every moment as the entity within constantly corroded.
However, due to Chen Nuo's extraordinarily powerful Telekinesis, the rate of corrosion was far lower than the rate at which he reinforced the cage.
As for how to use this ability... that would have to be seen in the future.
·
In the morning, Sun Keke was at home. Her leg had healed quite a bit... it hardly hurt to walk now.
It wasn't too severe a wound to begin with, plus Chen Nuo had been helping her in secret.
After Old Sun and Yang Xiaoyi had left for work, Chen Nuo sneakily timed his visit to knock on the door.
When Sun Keke opened the door, she saw Chen Nuo standing outside with a smile on his face.
Sweet laughter was brimming in the girl's eyes, but her mouth said, "Why have you come again?"
Chen Nuo didn't answer; instead, he pulled Sun Keke inside and sat down on the sofa before taking out a paper bag, "I bought breakfast on the way."
"I already ate this morning; my dad made me breakfast before he went to work."
Chen Nuo's eyes rolled, "You can eat a bit more. It's good to be a little plumper; plumper is good."
Sun Keke, having been around Chen Nuo for so long, already knew what that "little plumper" he mentioned really referred to. She half-scolded, half-bashfully pushed the rascal away upon hearing his words.
But she was caught off guard when Chen Nuo smoothly pulled her into his arms and landed a kiss on her lips.
Sun Keke was startled, smacked Chen Nuo, and her face turned red, "You—what are you doing!"
"What's there to be scared of? Old Sun has gone to work; I was crouching downstairs watching him leave before I came up."
Chen Nuo released Sun Keke with a smiling gaze.
Kisses and hugs were already the limit—given their current relationship, this was as far as they would go. Chen Nuo didn't want to rush things, and Sun Keke, having been sternly warned by her parents, didn't dare to cross the line.
He picked up a bag of soy milk and handed it to Sun Keke.
Although she had already had breakfast, Sun Keke still took it, inserted the straw, and sipped it bit by bit.
While Sun Keke was drinking the soy milk, Chen Nuo carefully observed her in secret.
After obtaining the "Tree of Misfortune," Chen Nuo gained a new skill in sensing, vaguely feeling that there seemed to be a faint, almost imperceptible power on Sun Keke.
Even though the "Seed of Misfortune" had been removed by him before.
But a trace of residual misfortune still lingered... however faint.
According to Wu Daodao, it would just evaporate over time.
After finishing the soy milk, Sun Keke turned her head to see Chen Nuo calmly looking at her, and not knowing what she thought of, her face blushed.
After sitting for a while, Sun Keke suddenly remembered something. She reached into the drawer under the coffee table, and with a sense of regret on her face, she said, "Chen Nuo, the Amulet your Senior Brother gave me is broken."
"Hmm?" Chen Nuo's interest was piqued.
The thumb-sized Pixiu carved out of stone had been sold to Chen Nuo by Wu Daodao for five hundred yuan that day.
Now, this object lay quietly in Sun Keke's palm, yet at some unknown time, it had split into two halves.
Chen Nuo took it and examined it closely in his hand; the break was very irregular, as if caused by some external force.
After a thought, Chen Nuo asked, "When did it break?"
"Just yesterday when I went out, I was hit by a car. When I got home and checked my pocket, this thing was broken... Maybe I damaged it accidentally when I was hit," she said.
Chen Nuo listened but frowned secretly.
The collision with the bicycle must not have been severe. If it was enough to crack a stone... then how could Sun Keke still be sitting in front of me like this?
She'd probably be in the ICU.
And besides, Sun Keke's injury was to her leg.
The stone carving was in her jacket pocket.
If the old sayings are true...
This Amulet must have blocked a disaster for Sun Keke!
That Wu Daodao... he really seems to have some skills!
·
After sitting with Sun Keke for a while, enjoying some couple's time on the couch, and noticing it was getting late, Chen Nuo made an excuse about having to go to work at Brother Lei's shop and took his leave.
He told Sun Keke to rest well at home, then left the Sun family residence.
But just before leaving, he hugged Sun Keke and gave her a kiss. As the girl blushed and closed the door behind him, a peculiar smile spread across Chen Nuo's face.
He went downstairs, out the door, and headed straight for Brother Lei's car workshop on Tangzi Street.
·
Wu Daodao was still under house arrest.
Brother Lei hadn't been harsh with him, providing him with cigarettes and tea, and even a varied dinner the night before.
But he was strictly forbidden from going out and was staying in a room behind the car workshop.
At first, Wu Daodao was a little annoyed, but as time went on, he calmed down.
He sat on the sofa in the back room, legs crossed, with a tea set and fragrant cigarettes on the coffee table before him, along with a plate of melon seeds and peanuts.
Beneath the TV cabinet, a DVD player was playing a pirated Hollywood blockbuster.
The plot was so-so, but the constant action made it lively enough.
He was watching the hero defeat the villain, and just as he was about to plant a kiss on a blonde beauty—well, Hollywood action movies of that era all followed that script—when the door was pushed open.
Chen Nuo walked in from outside.
Wu Daodao looked up and saw his cheap Junior Brother come in with a smile, greeting him warmly as he entered.
"Yo, Eldest Senior Brother, watching a good movie, huh?"
As he spoke, Chen Nuo approached the coffee table, placing two large plastic bags he was carrying onto it.
He then started pulling items out one by one.
Brined duck, duck delicacies, pig's head meat, sauced beef, mixed cold dishes.
There was also a bottle of Yanghe liquor.
Wu Daodao nodded.
Hmm, the dishes really aren't bad, and that bottle of Yanghe liquor isn't cheap either.
"What's up, Junior Brother? Seems like you have a favor to ask of me?"
Chen Nuo didn't answer but simply said, "I asked Brother Lei to send someone to the restaurant across the way to order some mutton soup. They'll bring it over, pot and all, shortly. We'll eat these dishes with the soup and have a few drinks."
Chen Nuo arranged the dishes on the table, tossed the Yuxi cigarettes aside, pulled a pack of soft Zhonghua from his pocket, tapped out a cigarette for Wu Daodao, and lit it for him.
Wu Daodao took a drag, lounged back in satisfaction, and squinted at Chen Nuo.
With his appearance—the black mole above the left corner of his eyebrow, and that tuft of hair—his posture, demeanor, and expression perfectly matched that of a lackey beside a wealthy landlord from the tales of old.
"Looks like you need something from me." Wu Daodao, holding the cigarette between his fingers, smiled and said, "Junior Brother, you can't be like this. Cold at first, warm later. You were so tough, threatening bloodshed, and now you come with fine liquor and food, all smiles."
"You change too quickly; I can't quite keep up with your rhythm, Senior Brother."
Chen Nuo also smiled and said, "What are you talking about? I really don't need anything from you, Senior Brother. It's just that I didn't drink enough at Teacher Jiang's birthday banquet! Since I'm free today, I thought I'd have a couple more drinks with you, Senior Brother. We're fellow disciples; it's only right to get closer."
With that, he opened the bottle of liquor and poured a cup for Wu Daodao first.
Wu Daodao took a sip from his cup, smacking his lips, "Not bad, this will do."
"Try this pig's head meat; the Jinling Liuhe Pig Head Meat is famous! And this saltwater duck, bought from the flagship store of the old Xu Family Duck Shop!"
Chen Nuo picked up his chopsticks and placed a few pieces of food in Wu Daodao's bowl, then also raised his cup, "Senior Brother, I toast to you!"
Wu Daodao clinked glasses with him and took a drink.
Looking at the overly young Junior Brother in front of him, he sighed, "Chen Nuo, Junior Brother, you... you turn hostile in an instant, yet you can lower your stance just as quickly... Impressive! You're ruthless, decisive in your actions, and can let go of your pride!"
"I'd say, Teacher Jiang has accepted a formidable disciple."
"You're bound to become successful sooner or later."
"No, wait, you're already successful! I saw it yesterday; the boss of this car workshop even seems to be working for you."
Chen Nuo just smiled and didn't reply.
After a short while, Brother Lei came in from outside, bringing a steaming pot of mutton soup to the coffee table.
Brother Lei also pulled up a chair and joined the drinking party.
The three men started to drink, passing cups back and forth.
The meal lasted for an hour, and the dishes on the table were nearly finished, along with a whole bottle of Yanghe liquor.
Brother Lei was mainly responsible for setting the mood, talking and joking around. After the meal, he made plans with Wu Daodao to take him out for some fun in the evening.
Wu Daodao's face looked much better, and the corners of his eyes were curled up in a pleased smile.
Brother Lei then helped tidy up the table a bit before heading out.
Chen Nuo poured another cup of tea for his Eldest Senior Brother.
Wu Daodao held his tea cup, looked at Chen Nuo, and suddenly spoke up.
"Junior Brother, I guess... the Amulet I gave Sun Keke, it broke, didn't it?"
Chen Nuo's eyes sharpened, then he casually laughed, "You really are clever, Senior Brother."
"...First, I need to ask, is the girl's problem solved? Did you find the person in the shadows?"
Chen Nuo didn't say much, just said indifferently, "It's all in the past now, Senior Brother."
But he didn't elaborate on how he had handled it.
Wu Daodao felt a stir in his heart, took a closer look at Chen Nuo's expression, and decided not to ask more, but instead took a sip of his tea.
"So, this fine liquor and delicious food for lunch today..."
"It's to thank you, Senior Brother," Chen Nuo said. "I saw Sun Keke today, and only then did I learn that the Amulet had cracked..."
"I thought it over, and I'm afraid the car accident she had yesterday would have been much worse if it weren't for the Amulet you gave her."
Wu Daodao didn't deny it, "Hmm, at least you understand gratitude. Junior Brother, if you treated me today like you did yesterday, I really wouldn't have much to say to you."
"I was impatient yesterday, please forgive me, Senior Brother." Chen Nuo smiled, making his apology, then his slyness quickly showed, "Like yesterday's Amulet, Senior Brother, you must have more, right? How about giving me another thirty or fifty? Can you do that?"
"Give..."
Good grief, Wu Daodao almost spit out a mouthful of tea!
Thirty or fifty?
Where do you get the gall to say something like that?
I spent ages carving that single one!
"You think my Amulets are cabbages? Thirty or fifty?! The one from yesterday—that was the last one!"
"Really none left?"
"None!"
"Not thirty-five, but three or five would do."
"None!"
"How about just one?"
"None!!"
Chen Nuo squinted at Wu Daodao and suddenly laughed.
"Senior Brother, the safety lock you're wearing around your neck looks pretty good!"
"..." Wu Daodao was stunned, then said in frustration, "HEY! That's not okay! Not that one! ARGH... Don't snatch... HEY!!"
The safety lock was already in Chen Nuo's palm.
Wu Daodao looked helplessly at Chen Nuo and quickly straightened his clothes, "Junior Brother, that's not okay! Give it back! That's my life-bound artifact I made for myself!"
Chen Nuo looked at the object in his hand.
It was carved as well, but the material wasn't an ordinary stone, but jade instead.
The carving was much more refined than the previous Pixiu.
"Sell it to me, Senior Brother. Still five hundred!"
"PAH!" Wu Daodao fumed. "Five hundred! The one from the other day was stone! This is jade!"
"Then... five hundred and fifty?"
"...Open your eyes and look carefully! This is genuine Hetian Sheep Fat Jade!! It's precious! Five hundred and fifty, you've got the nerve to say that!"
"Senior Brother, do you think I'm blind!" Chen Nuo also glared. "Hetian Sheep Fat Jade is white! This thing is bluish-green! It's just an ordinary piece of green jade!"
"ER..." Wu Daodao was at a loss for words, his eyes darting around.
"Five hundred and eighty!"
"Ten thousand!"
"Six hundred!"
"...Eight thousand! I'll give it to you! Really, just the cost of the jade stone is that much!" Wu Daodao's face twitched with heartache.
"Six hundred and fifty!"
"...Fine, fine, who asked you to be my Junior Brother! Six thousand! Six thousand it is! I carved it for a whole half year!" Wu Daodao looked like he was about to cry.
"Six hundred and eighty," Chen Nuo said, unflustered.
"You're ruthless! One price! Five thousand! Not a penny less! To refine this artifact, I even suffered a great loss of my own cultivation power! Otherwise, if my power were intact, how could I let a whippersnapper like you toy with me!" Wu Daodao fumed.
"Seven hundred."
"...Come on, Junior Brother, give a little more! Let me make a little profit, just a little..." Wu Daodao pleaded, clasping his hands. "Alright, I'll be honest. Three thousand. Really, three thousand. I can't go any lower."
Chen Nuo laughed.
He put the jade-carved safety lock into his pocket. "I'll have Brother Lei give you the money later."
Wu Daodao sighed, "This is a loss-making business. My thing is really quite valuable..."
Chen Nuo shook his head, "This thing, in terms of material cost, is worth at most a hundred bucks, Senior Brother. You're skilled in this craft; three thousand really isn't a loss for you."
"Fine, fine. It must be fate that we're fellow disciples." Wu Daodao waved his hand. "Since we're from the same sect, let's not talk like outsiders."
Chen Nuo then called Brother Lei over, who brought 3,000 yuan in cash. Wu Daodao pocketed it, putting it away carefully.
Then he stood up and said, "Junior Brother, now that your matter is resolved, you don't need to keep me confined anymore, right?"
"What are you talking about! It was just to get closer to you, Senior Brother. I invited you to stay for a day; what confinement are you talking about!"
"Then can I go?"
"Of course, Senior Brother. Please leave whenever you wish," Chen Nuo said with a smile.
Wu Daodao stood up, "Then I really am leaving! I was supposed to go back yesterday, but you kept me for another day. I have many things to attend to at home."
Chen Nuo thought about it and indeed found no reason to keep Wu Daodao any longer.
He too stood up, saw Wu Daodao out, and even helped him hail a taxi on the roadside, watching as Wu Daodao drove off.
He then turned and headed back to the shop.
Brother Lei approached him, "Master Nuo, is that person really your Senior Brother?"
Chen Nuo nodded, "He is, in a way, my Senior Brother."
"That man, babbling on about gods knows what, he dragged me into a pointless chat last night, almost talked my head off! He's so talkative!" Brother Lei shook his head. "He's hard to deal with, too sly and slippery. You've got to be careful when dealing with him."
Chen Nuo shook his head, "It's no trouble, I can handle him."
After a pause, Chen Nuo asked, "Has he been up to any mischief or done anything strange in the past couple of days he was here with you?"
Brother Lei thought for a moment, "Not really... OH, right, there was one small thing."
"What?"
"This morning, he asked one of my shop assistants to go out and buy something for him."
"Isn't the Chaotian Temple antique market nearby? He gave the assistant 100 yuan, told him to go to a street stall there and buy any jade carving to bring back. I looked at it, nothing special, just a worthless little jade lock… Huh? Master Nuo?"
"Master Nuo, what's wrong?"
Chen Nuo: "......I really feel like hitting someone."
·
Back in the room behind Brother Lei's shop, Chen Nuo was fuming.
Sitting on the sofa, he reached out and surprisingly found a piece of paper folded into a square next to the sofa.
It was folded from a cigarette box paper from Brother Lei's room.
Unfolding it, he saw several lines of text written inside.
The handwriting was beautiful, showing considerable mastery of calligraphy.
"Junior Brother:
I've taken the money, thanks a lot!
Don't be angry; even though the item is fake, the effects are not compromised!
You plied me with liquor, had someone strip my clothes off—let's consider us even on this.
Your Senior Brother leaves this note. Don't miss me too much!"
As Chen Nuo read this, his expression suddenly turned quite odd!
That rascal... he was plotting against me all along.
Yet, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated.
Chen Nuo stroked his chin. "This Senior Brother... he's quite interesting."
