Chu Luo walked along the school path. As school had just ended and it was time for everyone to go have their meal, the entire journey was noisy.

At this moment, a person playing with his phone suddenly shouted:

“Quick, take a look at the trending topic. It says that there was a very serious explosion in the backyard of Hanqing Temple this afternoon. There seem to be casualties.”

Another person hurriedly asked, “Was the cause of the explosion mentioned? Hanqing Temple is a huge temple in Ocean City. Last week, I even followed my mother there to pray to Buddha.

“I hope that nothing bad happened to the masters inside. I was hoping to go there to ask for a divination lot when I take the college entrance examination next year.”

“It only said that there was an explosion. Nothing else.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she didn’t pay much attention to it. She took out her earphones and listened to English words as she walked out of the school.

10:30 pm.

Chu Luo was sitting at her desk, studying. Suddenly, the sharp sound of a blunt object striking glass came from the window.

Accompanying this was a strange whining sound. The sound was like that of a child crying and struggling with his mouth covered, or like the low growl of some ferocious animal before it was angered.

If anyone else were to hear this sound, they would be scared stiff and develop goosebumps.

However, Chu Luo was calmly sensing what was outside.

Then, the corners of her mouth curled up into a sneer. “Heh! You want to use such a trivial trick to scare me? Do you have no idea what I’m capable of?”

After saying that, she quickly pulled open the curtains.

What entered her sight was a green face with fangs and a face full of blood.

This face was already scary to begin with. Now, it was pressed against the window, looking deformed, and it was even scraping the glass with its sharp fangs.

If anyone else had seen this, they would have been scared out of their wits.

Chu Luo’s face was tense as she quickly chanted an incantation. Then, she saw that the bloody face seemed to have been frightened by something and wanted to escape.

“Since I’ve seen you, there’s no way you can escape.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she quickly opened the window, jumped onto the desk, and chased after that thing.

That bloody face quickly fled towards the back of the district. Chu Luo, who was as light as a swallow, stepped on the various branches as she chased after it.

There was a park behind the district. The bloody face floated to the artificial lake in the middle of the park before stopping.

There was a white-haired old man standing there with his hands behind his back.

The old man had on a green robe. A gust of evening wind blew past, making him look like a sage.

The old man didn’t turn around. There was a hint of admiration in his voice as he said, “Looks like you have some real ability, young lady. To think you’re not afraid of such a terrifying bloody face and actually managed to catch up.”

With that, the old man raised his hand and the bloody face disappeared into thin air.

Chu Luo’s lips curled into a cold smile. “It’s just a tool for swindling. There’s nothing to fear.”

When the old man heard this, he finally turned around and gazed at Chu Luo with his pitch-black eyes.

“No wonder my junior brother was defeated by you. It turns out that you’re a child that has concealed her strength.”

The old man stared at Chu Luo and frowned. His voice became stern. “I want to see how capable you are today!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a talisman onto the surface of the lake. Suddenly, a huge ball of water rose from the lake and flew towards Chu Luo.

Chu Luo raised her head and looked at the lake water. A cold glint flashed across her eyes. Then, she raised her finger and said, “Turn.”

The lake water suddenly turned and splashed all over the old man.

The sagely old man immediately became a drenched chicken and no longer had the demeanor of an expert. The expression on his face could no longer be maintained. As he shook off the water on his head and body, he was fuming with anger. “You actually broke my charm. What sect do you come from exactly?”

“What sect?” Chu Luo looked at the old man and sneered. “I, Chu Luo, don’t need to learn from any sect.”

“Arrogant brat, let me see exactly how powerful you are.”

With that, he took out another talisman paper and quickly chanted while his fingers drew on it.

Soon, a barrier appeared.

Fierce winds swept across the barrier like knives.

Chu Luo tilted her head and felt the energy of this barrier, thinking about how to break it.

At this time, Phoenix’s excited voice suddenly sounded in her mind, “Mistress, Mistress, I can absorb this energy.”

Before Chu Luo could say anything, a red light flashed. With a swoosh, the barrier that the old man had spent a lot of effort to build disappeared.

“Pfft…”

A mouthful of blood spurted out from the old man’s mouth. He stared at Chu Luo in horror, held his chest, and pointed at her with trembling fingers. “What method did you use to swallow my barrier? Could it be… could it be that you practice unorthodox ways?!”

Chu Luo gave him an evil smirk and deliberately tried to scare him. “You’re right. What I’m practicing is the unorthodox path that specializes in destroying your cultivation. Watch carefully, I’ll turn you from an expert into an ordinary person today.”

She then opened her hand, and red light appeared in it.

The elder immediately widened his eyes and quickly retreated with a frightened expression. He didn’t care about anything else and quickly took out something from his robe.

As he was in too much of a hurry, he didn’t pay much attention to the treasures he had taken out falling to the ground. It wasn’t until he’d taken out a talisman and thrown it into the air that he disappeared into thin air.

“It’s actually a teleportation talisman. However… have you asked for my permission before you escaped?”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she quickly chanted an incantation. In less than five seconds, a figure appeared on the lake, and, with a plop, that person fell in.

Plop!

Splash!

Water splashed everywhere.

“Cough… Help…”

Chu Luo stood on the shore and looked coldly at the figure struggling in the lake. She walked to the handful of treasures that he had just dropped and bent down to pick them up. She looked at the items under the moonlight for a while and nodded with satisfaction. “Good stuff. I’ll take it as compensation for having my time wasted tonight.”

After saying that, she put her things away and ignored the person struggling in the lake. Then, she turned and walked out of the park.

Since he’d dared to provoke her, he had to be prepared to be punished.

…

After that night, no one knew if the two “experts” were scared off or what, but no one came looking for trouble again.

Chu Luo had just washed up and was about to go out for a run when she suddenly received a call from Chu Zhengyang’s secretary.

The secretary informed her, “Second Miss, Boss was injured last night and is now in the hospital.”

Chu Luo responded with an “Mm” upon hearing this.

The secretary didn’t seem to notice her indifference and continued, “The chauffeur is already on the way to pick you up. Boss wants you to accompany him at the hospital today.”

Then he hung up.

Chu Luo looked down at her phone for a few seconds, then turned around and went back to the bedroom to change. She went out and knocked on the door of Auntie Wu’s apartment.

Auntie Wu opened the door and asked in surprise, “Miss Chu, do you have any instructions?”

Chu Luo said to her, “Auntie Wu, bring forward breakfast today.”

Auntie Wu didn’t ask anything further and quickly nodded. “Okay, breakfast will be ready soon. Miss Chu, please go over first. I’ll send it over to you.”

Chu Luo had just finished her breakfast when the chauffeur called.

She picked up the few books and the portable audio player she had packed and headed downstairs.
