“Long time no see, I came to bring you food,” said Lu Yang, in an amiable manner, a trait perfected by working in a barbecue shop.
After over a month of practice, Lu Yang’s fake smile had reached a level of realism that even Meng Jingzhou applauded him for his genuine seeming cheerfulness.
Chi Xulong, with an annoyed expression, heard Lu Yang’s voice and abruptly turned his head. His eyes revealed a fierce look. “Would I be in such a rut if it weren’t for you bringing the constable over for a meal?”
“Wiry are you here?” Chi Xulong asked gruffly. This brat had tricked him into thinking he was an examiner the moment they met. He had even set him up during their meal a few days ago. He was nothing but a cunning troublemaker! Adding to this, his faux amiable appearance further underscored his ulterior motives.
Compared to a ruthless murderer like himself, Chi Xulong thought that Lu Yang was even worse!
Lu Yan didn’t have any desire to mock Chi Xulong in jail. They all have to help each other out in the future. There’s no need to spoil their relationship, this was also the intention of the Rudder Master.
However, Lu Yan misheard Chi Xulong’s question as an inquiry about his promotion to the Manager position: “What? How did you know that I was promoted to Manager? But don’t get too excited. As long as you perform well, you can become a Manager too.”
Unexpectedly, Chi Xulong seemed to be fairly knowledgeable even in jail.
Lu Yang then proudly displayed his Waist Card engraved prominently with the title “Manager”, infuriating Chi Xulong to the point where he was ready to breathe fire.”The Gods must be blind!”
Lu Yang then comforted him, “Don’t be upset, the Master asked me to pass on a message to you.”
Chi Xulong calmed down upon hearing that it was a message from Master Chu. He assumed that the Master regarded him highly and especially sent a message for him,”What did the old man say?”
“He said that you’d better get along well with me.”
Taken aback by this, Chi Xulong was livid. The Master seemed to be favouring this kid, “Over my dead body will I ever get along with you!”
Seeing that Chi Xulong actually defied the Master’s order, Lu Yang sighed, left some food and walked out.
The other convicts smelled the delicious food, causing them to drool. The prison didn’t serve food this good.
To the other convicts, Lu Yang was very kind. He encouraged them to reflect on their deeds while in prison and contribute to the Central Continent’s progress after their release. His words were filled with concern.
Obviously, they were not sentenced for a decade or more.
After leaving the prison, Lu Yang truthfully reported the situation to Master Chu,”I went to the prison with food for Chi Xulong. I mentioned that there must have been some misunderstanding and we all belong to the same group. In the future, we will inevitably work together. By maintaining good relations, it would be conducive to future work. I also emphasized that this was Master’s idea and mentioned that he could also become a Manager if he behaves well.” “But who would have expected Chi Xulong to get furious and curse? He said who would turn a blind eye to me being a Manager. He would rather die than develop a good relationship with me. I can’t remember the exact words, but the general meaning was like this.”
Master Chu’s gaze suddenly turned cold, “Who did he say was blind?!”
Lu Yang quickly bowed, keeping his eyes fixed on Master Chu. He nervously replied, “The person he insulted has a high status. This is very disrespectful, I dare not say it.”
Master Chu seemed to have already figured out the answer, “Alright, that’s enough. I know, go back.”
Lu Yang sighed, thinking that Chi Xulong couldn’t keep his mouth shut. He blurted out anything that came to his mind,”Please, Master, don’t hold what I said against me or think I got it wrong.”
Master Chu impatiently waved his hand. He had enough of this.
After Lu Yang left, Master Chu knocked on his jade chair and coldly chuckled, “A good one, Chi Xulong. How dare he say that I am blind!”
During the day, Meng Jingzhou wandered around as usual, Man Gu was exercising in the backyard, Ghoul was threading beads in the main hall, and Lu Yang was washing clothes.
Lu Yang’s clothes were ordinary and couldn’t maintain cleanliness on their own.
“Damn, why can’t I learn the Cleaning Clothes Spell,” Lu Yang grumbled, vigorously scrubbing his clothes, “Once I have enough money, I must buy clothes that don’t require washing.”
He had previously asked Meng Jingzhou to teach him the Cleaning Clothes Spell. Although Meng Jingzhou was no expert, he had a book titled, “Small Magic Skills for Daily Life”, which his sister had sneaked into his bag when he left home.
The book mentioned a spell called the Cleaning Clothes Spell.
The Cleaning Clothes Spell, as its name implies, can make clothes clean, and is easy to learn.
Meng Jingzhou and Man Gu were the first to master it. With a burst of refreshing Spiritual Energy from the skies, their dirty clothes turned as white as new in no time.
Both of them were pleased as they often dirtied their clothes while working at the barbecue shop.
With Meng Jingzhou’s stature, he had access to clothes specially made for him. Not needing to be cleaned, they were automatically kept clean. But the quality of these clothes was too high, revealing his heavy background, thus not conducive to his covert operation in the demonic sect.
It was widely known that Lu Yang was gifted in magic. He too, picked up the spell, but his results were a bit unexpected.
After casting the Cleaning Clothes Spell, with a twist in the air, a new set of clothes appeared out of nowhere.
At that moment, Lu Yang remained silent for a while, wanting to curse but not knowing where to even begin.
In terms of order this was the first spatial spell that Lu Yang had learned, and it was of great significance.
In terms of innovation, it was a breakthrough in the Cleaning Clothes Spell- it was like creating a whole new spatial spell.
In terms of logic, it defied logic.
Looking at the clothes tagged with “For So-and-so”, Lu Yang understood that they probably belonged to a tailor’s shop crafted for a specific customer, who didn’t get the chance to collect them because they were summoned by his spatial spell.
“Wiry did the Cleaning Clothes Spell I cast summon a new set of clothes? What happens if I cast the Body Cleaning Spell?” Lu Yang exclaimed angrily, thinking the gods were jealous of his magical talent and were deliberately restricting it. Of course, these clothes couldn’t be worn. They belonged to someone else and Lu Yang didn’t even know who they belonged to, let alone return them.
Meng Jingzhou generously offered to cast the actual Cleaning Clothes Spell to wash Lu Yang’s clothes. Despite several trials, he failed.
The Cleaning Clothes Spell could only clean clothes worn by the spell caster. Lu Yang obviously couldn’t take off his clothes to let Meng Jingzhou wear and clean them, only to hand them back afterwards.
Perhaps, he just had to resign himself to the arduous task of laundering clothes normally.
Finishing the washing, Lu Yang attempted to hang the clothes out of the window. Unexpectedly, the clothes pole slipped and was about to hit a passerby below.
“Watch out!”
Surprisingly, the passerby nimbly sidestepped to avoid the clothes pole.
Lu Yang hastily descended the stairs only to discover that the passerby was Lan Ting from the Laurel Fairy Palace, who had previously aided him in Song Mountain.
It had been over a month, what was she still doing around here? He was perplexed.
Lan Ting lowered her head and silently stared at the fallen clothes pole. Her eyebrows knit in contemplation, as though pondering over something. Curiously, Lu Yang asked, “What are you thinking about?”
Almost instantaneously Lan Ting responded, “I was wondering why the clothes pole fell to the ground instead of going up into the sky. Could there be an invisible force pulling all things in the world downwards?”
Lu Yang was left speechless.”…
