Chapter 145 - A Red Hand is Needed to Open the Box
Yu Zhenghai drank three cups of wine consecutively. Each time, the Tiger Ridge Gang’s member next to him would refill his cup. “If I didn’t leave the Evil Sky Pavilion, I would’ve died.”
Mingshi Yin and Zhu Honggong were stunned.
“It’s that bad?”
Yu Zhenghai nodded calmly and said, “Forget it. Let’s not talk about this. Come, let’s have a drink.”
“…” Mingshi Yin emptied another cup with a perplexed expression on his face.
“Another.”
“Uh…”
Everyone in the Evil Sky Pavilion knew that Yu Zhenghai loved to drink. He could care less about other matters, but he would insist on drinking to his heart’s content when it came to wine.
Zhu Honggong pinched his own thigh. He was filled with regret. Everyone’s attention had been focused on the content of the box and had forgotten the most basic fact.
…
Meanwhile, Mingshi Yin had returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion. He instantly made his way to the great hall.
“Little Junior Sister, where’s master?” Mingshi Yin walked in while carrying the box.
“Fourth Senior Brother, you’ve returned! Master didn’t think you’d returned so soon so he has gone into the hidden chamber.”
Mingshi Yin nodded and said, “I had bad luck. I ran into Eldest Senior Brother. Fortunately, I was firm enough, and I gave him a good talking-to. He knows he’s in the wrong and didn’t dare to talk back. After that, he handed the box over.”
Little Yuan’er clapped and said, “We can always count on you to get the job done, Fourth Senior Brother!”
Mingshi Yin nodded. The two of them passed by the great hall and walked toward the hidden chamber.
When they were outside the hidden chamber, Mingshi Yin bowed and said, “Master, I’m pleased to report to you that I have completed my mission. I have returned with the box.”
Lu Zhou heard Mingshi Yin’s voice inside the hidden chamber and opened his eyes. He sat cross-legged on the bed and asked through voice projection, “What’s the condition of the box?”
“Senior Brothers and Seventh Junior Brother didn’t give me a hard time. They had unlocked the box with their weapons. All that’s left is the Amorous Hoop, and the box will be unlocked,” Mingshi Yin replied.
Whizz!
The hidden chamber’s door slid open slowly.
Lu Zhou emerged with his hands on his back. His gaze fell on the box in Mingshi Yin’s hands immediately.
Mingshi Yin was secretly elated. ‘Since I’ve done a wonderful job this time, shouldn’t master offer me some sort of reward?’
Lu Zhou ignored Mingshi Yin as he appraised the box. Indeed. Only the Amorous Hoop’s pattern remained unchanged. ‘I hope the content of this mysterious box isn’t something useless.’
He mumbled to himself, “A red hand is needed to open the box.”
