CH 95.2

Heyo! I'm back. It's been a heck of grueling months. The site I was using before shut down as I was really unable to take care of it, and now it's impossible for me to reinstate the site or retrieve all the translations there. So, I'll just be with Sleepytranslations :) It will take some time for me to transfer all the novels with whatever I was able to save, but I'll be sure to complete what I've been working on.

“Grandpa Yan, you know him right?” Lu Ning glanced at his father excitedly and then asked, “Grandpa, Shishi is that same girl. She said she knew the Soul Calming Spell, but my dad doesn’t believe it. Grandpa Yan, you know her grandfather. Please help us analyze whether this matter is credible.”

“Does he know the Soul Calming Spell?” Elder Yan frowned with a hint of uncertainty in his tone. However, although the old guy was unreliable many times, he never joked about this kind of thing. “Give your father the phone.”

Lu Ning handed the phone back to Lu Jinjiang.

“Elder Yan.”

“Jinjiang, if it’s that old fellow’s apprentice, you can give it a try,” Elder Yan said.

“You really know him? Which sect is this master from?” In order to cure his wife, Lu Jinjiang had visited all the big and small sects and families over the years, but he had never heard of a sect that knew the Soul Calming Spell. What was more, if Elder Yan knew the man, he would have told him.

“You should have heard of him too.” Elder Yan’s voice reeked with disdain, “That old fellow used to be particularly shameless and gave himself a specially pretentious nickname, Perfected Lou He.”

“Perfected Lou He?” Lu Jinjiang couldn’t believe his ears. Some of the Celestial Masters of their generation had never heard of Perfected Lou He’s name. It was just that Perfected Lou He retired twenty years ago. He had searched every nook and corner over the years, but failed to find him. Unexpectedly, they chanced upon him without any effort.

(Shishi, I’ll pick you up at the hotel in half an hour.)

Chen Yu looked at the message she just received and could no longer swallow the ice cream she’d been craving. She dashed to the next door and pounded her grandpa’s door.

“What?” Elder Wu impatiently opened the door.

“Old Sir, where are you? Come quick. Why did you suddenly stop moving?”

“You vanished from sight all of sudden. Are you suffering from a heart attack after playing games all night?”

“Sure enough, he’s in his seventies and can’t compare with us, young people.”

Blue veins popped out of Elder Wu’s forehead upon hearing the voices from the computer. He chose to ignore his granddaughter at the door, strode back and scolded, “You bastards, wait for my return, and I’ll show you the difference between an old man in his seventies and young people.”

Wails instantly resounded on the computer.

Chen Yu stared at the scene incredulously. She exclaimed, “Grandpa, you brought your computer for this trip?”

“Of course. Didn’t you bring yours? Are there still people who go out without a computer nowadays?” The old man’s expression said it all, You’re behind the times.

The corners of Chen Yu’s mouth kept twitching, but she didn’t argue. She was more concerned about Lu Ning’s arrival later: “Old Man, what should I do? Lu Ning is coming over to pick me up later.”

“Which Lu Ning?” Old man Wu asked somewhat forgetfully.

“Didn’t I tell you about it yesterday at dinner? It’s the same Lu Ning who gave me the Soul Summoning Bell,” Chen Yu explained.

Elder Wu momentarily froze. The mention of the Soul Summoning Bell made him completely remember who Lu Ning was. He turned off the mic function of the game and asked, “You told me yesterday that you wanted to help stabilize someone’s soul with the Soul Calming Spell. Is that person Lu Ning’s mother?”

“Yeah.” Chen Yu said nervously, “I thought about it all night last night, but I still can’t remember where I learned the Soul Calming Spell. What should I do? Don’t tell me that it’s really something I dreamed about when I was sleeping, right?”

“Otherwise, I’d better call and talk to Lu Ning. I’m not sure. Let’s forget it.” Chen Yu was tangled.

When Chen Yu took out her phone and was about to call, Elder Wu suddenly interjected, “Wait a minute.”

“Hmm?”

“Didn’t you say that Lu Ning’s mother won’t last long? In that case, regardless of whether your Soul Calming spell is real or not, there’s no loss in trying it,” Elder Wu suggested.

“Are you suggesting that I go?” Chen Yu confirmed with some uncertainty.

“Go ahead. What if it works? They gave you the Soul Summoning Bell for free, so you should return the favor, one way or the other.” Through yesterday’s Calming Incantation, Elder Wu realized that Chen Yu’s Soul Calming Spell must also be true.

“Right. Even if it flops, it can’t be any worse.” Chen Yu gave it a second thought and felt that her Grandpa made sense. “Then I’ll go downstairs and wait for them.”

After Chen Yu left, Elder Wu hesitated for a while. He gave the group an excuse, shut the computer down, and followed Chen Yu to the lobby as well.

“Huh? Old man, are you tagging along, too?” Chen Yu couldn’t help but wonder when she saw her grandfather downstairs as well.

“No, I came down to hang out and buy some food while at it,” Elder Wu denied.

“Oh.” Chen Yu didn’t doubt it and found a seat in the lobby to wait.

Elder Wu passed by and asked, “Didn’t you say someone would pick you up later? Why hasn’t he arrived yet?”

“There is no hurry. Just wait a little longer. Don’t you want to buy something? How come you’re not there yet?” Chen Yu retorted offhandedly.

“…” Elder Wu moved to the side sheepishly. He took out a bottle of juice from the freezer in the hotel lobby, and looked towards the door while unscrewing it.

Just then, a young man walked in behind the turnstile at the door at nine o’clock. After sweeping his gaze around the lobby, he quickly locked onto Chen Yu and ran over with a smile, “Shishi.”

Lu Jinjiang, who came in with the young man, only rested his gaze on Chen Yu for a moment before fixating on Elder Wu, who was not far behind her. The moment he spotted Elder Wu, Lu Jinjiang’s hands trembled with excitement as he quickly walked forward and bowed deeply to Elder Wu who was drinking juice, “Elder.”

Elder Wu was startled and asked, “Who are you?”

“Elder forgot. Twenty years ago, at the Ghost Gate,” Lu Jinjiang reminded him.

Elder Wu had rarely been to the Underworld for the past twenty years, so he quickly recalled. When he left the Underworld twenty years ago, he seemingly happened to see a young man robbing his already dead wife at the Ghost Gate. He seemed to be in a terrible mood at the time, so he beat up the ghost messengers, passing by.

“It’s you,” Elder Wu said in a daze.

The Author has something to say:

After young Wu was scolded for sending Vitality Herb, he was very puzzled. One day, he happened to meet young Yan who was also pursuing the lady.

Young Yan holding a rose: My lady, although flowers are not enough to match your beauty, I really can’t find anything more beautiful than you.

The lady accepted the rose and turned around to leave.

Young Yan was so excited that he spun in place three times.

Young Wu went out at night and caught a six hundred year old zombie and secretly released it into the residence of Young Yan, whose cultivation level was low.

From then on, Young Yan specialized in killing zombies and became a grandmaster of all generations.
