Chapter 351: Merely an Excuse
Lu Sheng patted Mdm Zhao’s back lightly, hinting for her not to be afraid.
She looked at He Qin, seemingly asking for his opinion.
He Qin was silent for a while before saying lightly, “Let them off.”
It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Furthermore, it was the new year.
“Thank you, little brother! Thank you!”
The Zheng family kowtowed a few times before leaving.
Zhang Hui was still sitting at his original spot in a daze. A thin layer of ice had formed on his pants.
“You should leave too.”
He Qin looked at him and said lightly, “Don’t appear in front of the He family again.”
“Yes! Yes!”
Zhang Hui sat up and kowtowed a few times before leaving in a hurry.
He believed that after this incident, the Zhang family would not think of finding trouble with the He family again.
Regarding this, Lu Sheng did not say anything. After all, the authority was in He Qin’s hands. He could decide whatever he wanted.
The group cleaned up and sat back at the table. Not long later, they heard scoldings from the Zhang family.
It turned out that the Zheng family was afraid of offending Lu Zhou and wanted to divorce Zhang Xiaohua. However, the Zhang family refused, so the two families quarreled.
In the end, it seemed like the Zheng family had promised not to divorce Zhang Xiaohua, but for her to sever ties with the Zhang family.
Zhang Xiaohua had long been disheartened with the Zhang family. When she heard the Zheng family’s suggestion, she agreed without thinking.
In the end, Zhang Xiaohua severed ties with the Zhang family in front of everyone and followed the Zheng family back to Zheng Village.
As for Zhang Hui, ever since that day, he only dared to avoid the He family. He was no longer as arrogant as before.
On the third day of the New Year, the Lu family’s restaurant opened for business again.
The number of customers did not decrease.
It was as if Shangguan Dian had discovered a new continent and was obsessed with the delicacies inside. He was unwilling to go anywhere else and spent his days eating and drinking in the Lu family’s restaurant.
Because of this, Lu Zhou even mocked him for being the reincarnation of a Taotie.
In order to eat more delicious food, Shangguan Dian even specially went to the auction house to auction off two gems, a blue and a red.
No one knew how much he had earned. They only knew that he was not short of money now.
“Uncle Demon King.” Lu Sheng looked at Shangguan Dian and asked in a low voice, “I heard from my master that you came to find the Demon King Token?”
Shangguan Dian paused in his actions. Seeing that Lu Zhou wasn’t here today, he quickly smiled and said, “Not entirely.”
The Demon King Token might be important to other demons, but to him, it didn’t matter if he had it or not.
Finding the Demon King Token was just an excuse.
He actually wanted to follow Lu Zhou to the long-lost human world to take a look.
He had thought that Lu Zhou would go to the modern human world. Who knew that he would come to the human world from a thousand years ago?
Although this era was slightly worse than the modern era, there were still a lot of delicacies.
“I think you can find the Demon King Token soon, but…”
Lu Sheng pondered and said, “I want to ask Uncle Demon King for a favor.”
When Shangguan Dian heard that, he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and sat up straight. “Little niece, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it. I can go up a mountain of blades or go down a sea of flames.”
Lu Sheng waved her hand and chuckled. “That’s not necessary! It’s not that serious.”
She scanned her surroundings and saw that the Soundproof Barrier had been set up. Then, she looked at Shangguan Dian and said, “We’ve dealt with all the demons that escaped from the Demon Realm previously. However, I’ve recruited a few demons here. They said that they were tricked by Chi Ming to come out, so I want to ask Uncle Demon King to help me send them back to the Demon Realm.”
