Chapter 86 Eighteen Scholars



Zeng Yu's downstream buyer was taken aback.

Zeng Yu is always smiling, never showing a fierce look in her eyes.

Especially those red eyes, like those of a hungry wolf, ready to pounce and devour someone at any moment.

That's absolutely terrifying.

The other person pulled hard, and her wrist was tightly clamped, unable to break free no matter what she did.

Upon hearing Su Lenghe's words, Li Mengping asked worriedly, "Lenghe, has my mother encountered a ghost?"

Su Lenghe nodded slightly.

Li Xiang's attention was entirely on Zeng Yu, and he didn't hear their conversation. He asked anxiously, "Wife, what's wrong with you today? Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Upon hearing this, the other two card players stood up and moved away from the table, saying tremblingly, "I have something to do, so I won't play today."

Zeng Yu's eyes widened: "Come back!"

The two card players' eyes instantly became glazed over, and they sat back down at the card table blankly.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and Su Lenghe used a pair of mahogany chopsticks to pinch Zeng Yu's middle finger.

"Ah!" Zeng Yu screamed in agony, her face contorted in a grimace.

Li Xiang was anxious and tried to stop Su Lenghe: "Let go of my wife!"

Li Mengping stopped him and explained, "Dad, Leng He said Mom is possessed by a ghost, so don't make things worse."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang broke out in a cold sweat.

When he was a child, a boy in the village went to play in the cemetery and was possessed by a ghost.

Later, the child fell seriously ill, and the sorceress used many methods to finally exorcise the ghost.

The child also suffered from aftereffects; he would faint whenever he caught a chill, which was quite frightening.

Thinking of this, Li Xiang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, his head spinning with worry.

Li Mengping comforted him, "Dad, don't worry, Leng He will definitely be able to do it."

She watches Su Lenghe's live stream every day, knows her abilities very well, and thinks Su Lenghe is omnipotent, turning into a crazy little fangirl.

Zhang Kai doesn't usually watch live streams, but Su Lenghe saved his life last time, so he admires Su Lenghe very much.

He then reassured her, "Uncle, don't worry, Auntie will be fine."

Despite what they all said, Li Xiang still had some doubts about Su Lenghe's abilities, even though she was so young.

Su Lenghe remained calm, while Zeng Yu's forehead was covered in cold sweat, veins bulged at her temples, and her face was contorted in pain, as if her fingers had been snapped off.

"Come out!" Su Lenghe's voice was cold and carried an undeniable authority.

Zeng Yu cried out, then collapsed to the ground, her body giving way.

Her hazy eyes instantly cleared, and her voice was hoarse: "Husband, what are you doing here?"

Li Xiang helped her up, asking with concern, "Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zeng Yu looked around, confused, and said, "Wasn't I playing mahjong? How did I end up on the floor?"

Li Mengping explained what had just happened, but Zeng Yu had no recollection of it at all.

Su Lenghe rolled up a talisman, wrapped the gambler held between chopsticks inside, made a hand seal, and the talisman spontaneously combusted.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I keep feeling like there are screams coming from inside the talisman.

The young girl in front of him was not only young and beautiful, but also so capable. Zeng Yu said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Su!"

Li Xiang was also ashamed of his shortsightedness. He said embarrassedly, "Thank you, Master Su. I'm sorry, I was just doubting your abilities."

Su Lenghe smiled slightly: "It's alright."

The mahjong players gathered around, looking terrified, and said, "Master Su, it's so scary that you could be possessed by a ghost while playing mahjong."

"Yeah, I'm so unlucky."

Su Lenghe patiently explained, "It's not bad luck, it's good luck that you get possessed."

"That guy was a gambler. He got so unlucky at the card table that he got sick and his resentment ran deep, so he hasn't been reincarnated yet."

"It always seeks out those who are lucky, wanting to experience the feeling of winning money."

Zeng Yu sighed, "I always thought that being too lucky was a good thing, but now it seems that it's better to have both wins and losses."

She had exceptionally good luck gambling today. From the moment she sat down at the table, she got all sorts of winning hands, like pure suits, seven pairs, and winning on a draw...

When Li Xiang called, she had four concealed kongs in a row, plus a winning hand on the kong, and played the Eighteen Arhats hand.

This kind of hand is hundreds of times harder to win than a Heavenly Hand or an Earthly Hand.

Zeng Yu was so immersed in the joy of winning that she had no recollection of what happened afterward.

Su Lenghe explained, "Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of good fortune!"

A mahjong player, upon seeing Su Lenghe's abilities, asked, "Master, is there any way to avoid this?"

Su Lenghe said, "A protective talisman will suffice."

These mahjong players felt that two thousand yuan for a single talisman was a very good deal.

With this talisman, you can play mahjong with peace of mind.

Several classmates who came with Zhang Kai regretted not buying talismans last time.

They happened to come across this opportunity and all took out their money to buy it.

After the gambling addict's matter was resolved, the group returned to Li Mengping's house for dinner.

Li Xiang is a master chef whose dishes are delicious and visually appealing, especially his boiled fish, which is devoured in no time.

The boiled fish tasted the same as the one Rong Yan packed.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Su Lenghe.

Oh no, something's happened to Rong Yan.

Not daring to delay, Su Lenghe could only bid farewell to Li Mengping's family and classmates and head to Rong Yan's house.

Rong Yan's house was right next to Rong Ce's house. Just as they arrived at Rong Ce's door, Rong Ce called.

"Master Su..."

"I'm at your doorstep now."

Rong Ce arrived quickly, his steps agile, his pale face replaced by a healthy complexion.

Without time for pleasantries, Rong Ce led the way, explaining Rong Yan's situation as they walked.
