Chapter 57

A low-grade amulet, worth millions, but Lu Li felt it was simply not suitable to give away.

However, the lightning-struck jujube wood, being one of the best materials for making magical artifacts, would not be so simple. Besides its inherent ability to ward off evil, it has a high compatibility with various talismans and even has a certain enhancing effect.

After much thought, Lu Li picked up the carving knife again, took a drop of blood from his eyebrow, and used it as dye to inscribe three talismans on the wooden carving.

As soon as he finished drawing, the wooden carving instantly emitted a faint red light, which quickly disappeared.

Looking at the wooden carving again, the talismans drawn with blood had vanished, as if they had never appeared. The surface of the wooden carving was smoother, and the crane looking down became even more lifelike, as if it were about to spread its wings and fly away.

"It's done."

Lu Li stroked the wooden crane, feeling that the amulet had become of medium quality, and his eyes showed more joy.

A medium-quality amulet is more powerful than the Bagua amulet.

A female ghost like Wang Xuexi, who is full of resentment, cannot approach Xia Ming, let alone Shen Muqing, who wears the crane amulet. As long as she wears it, even a century-old ghost would have to think twice before trying to harm her.

In addition to warding off evil, Lu Li also added a calming talisman, making the amulet's effect of calming the mind even better.

A series of actions greatly increased the value of the crane amulet. If an expert were to discover it, they would probably not even consider asking for less than ten million.

The next day, the final exams continued.

When Lu Li appeared in the examination room again, all the candidates, whether they knew him or not, gave him a look of attention.

He didn't know that after yesterday's scene, he had already become the most low-key rich kid at Hai Cheng University.

Fortunately, these gazes were not enough to affect him. He took the exams and make-up exams as usual, and three days later, the final exams ended smoothly.

As for the grades, did he need to worry?

As soon as the final exams were over, summer vacation began, and students left the school one after another.

What surprised Lu Li the most was Zhang Jian.

After two weeks of seclusion, this guy seemed to have thoroughly enlightened. When he went home, he even brought Liu Xia, saying he wanted to introduce her to his parents and get engaged after graduation.

Liu Xia, who was usually a tomboy, now became like Lin Daiyu, her face full of shyness, and she almost couldn't walk, which made Lu Li secretly laugh.

No matter what, Lu Li was very optimistic about their future, especially since he had specially noted Liu Xia's facial features, which were a typical sign of a wife who brings good fortune, even more so than Lu Fang.

If the two could live to old age together, it would undoubtedly be a blessing for Zhang Jian, who always took an unconventional path.

The news of Xia Qingshuan's withdrawal from school had already spread throughout Hai Cheng University.

As the top beauty of Hai Cheng University, her withdrawal undoubtedly shattered the dreams of many male students. However, they didn't think about the fact that Xia Qingshuan had been at Hai Da for a year and a half, and she didn't even have a few female friends, let alone male friends, so the chances of pursuing her were almost zero.

When Xia Qingshuan left Hai Cheng, she didn't notify anyone. She only sent a text message to Lu Li before boarding the plane. The content of the text message was typical of her personality, just four short words: "See you again if we have the chance."

Receiving the text message, Lu Li thought for a moment and replied with four words: "Take care."

The dormitory was already empty, and Lu Li originally planned to go home, but the news of Shen Muqing's upcoming trip abroad made him stay.

A week later, Lu Li made another amulet and then went to the stadium to practice as usual. His current realm had improved again, but he was still far from the peak of the Later Heaven stage.

After practicing for an hour, Shen Muqing appeared in the stands, watching him as usual.

"When is your flight?" Lu Li quickly finished his practice, wiped the sweat off his face, and asked.

Shen Muqing said softly, "Ten o'clock tomorrow morning."

"I'll see you off then."

"Okay."

Lu Li climbed up to the stands, sat down next to Shen Muqing, and gently put his arm around her shoulder. "On the other side of the Earth! It doesn't seem that far. I'll come to find you as soon as possible."

"Do you need to find your uncle?" Shen Muqing asked.

Lu Li looked up at the starry sky and said calmly, "I want to find him, whether he is alive or dead. But I need to discuss it with my mother first. I don't know if she will agree."

Shen Muqing softly said, "Oh," and fell silent.

After a moment, Lu Li patted her shoulder. "It's late today, and you have to leave tomorrow. Go back early."

"I—," Shen Muqing gazed at Lu Li, her teeth tightly biting her red lips, and said almost inaudibly, "Tonight, I—can stay with you."

"Huh?"

Lu Li was taken aback and said strangely, "Do you want to give yourself to me?"

"Big bad guy." Shen Muqing, feeling both embarrassed and angry, raised her hand to pinch his ear.

"Ha ha."

Lu Li laughed heartily, kissed her forehead lightly, and teased, "Do you really want to stay with me tonight?"

"I! Big bad guy, dreaming, at most I'll chat with you."

"Is that so? Then forget it. Don't let the chat turn into something worse." Saying this, Lu Li stood up. "I'll take you back. As for the gift, I'll keep it for when we meet again."

Shen Muqing looked at Lu Li's carefree and trustworthy expression, feeling a deep sense of reluctance. She suddenly stood up, tiptoed, and bit Lu Li's lips hard. Her cheeks gradually turned red, and after a long time, she jumped out of Lu Li's embrace and ran out in a panic.

Lu Li licked his lips, tasting the blood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Is this a memento for me?

At Hai Cheng International Airport.

Lu Li arrived at eight o'clock and waited for half an hour. Then Shen Muqing and a middle-aged man came together.

Seeing Lu Li from a distance, Shen Muqing turned to the middle-aged man and said a few words, then quickly walked over.

Lu Li looked at Shen Muqing, remembering the hard bite from last night, his lips twitched, and after a long silence, he said, "Take care."

"I'll wait for you to come."

"Okay."

Lu Li took out the crane amulet from his pocket, and a red string had been added to the top.

Shen Muqing's eyes lit up, and she slightly lowered her head. Lu Li, sensing her thoughts, pulled the red string with both hands and hung it around her white, jade-like neck.

"This is an amulet, to ward off evil and calm the mind. While you are abroad, try not to take it off."

"Only you can take it off." Shen Muqing said gently, but her tone was firm.

"Be careful and avoid dangerous places. Leave me more messages."

Hearing this, Shen Muqing glared at Lu Li and asked, "Is that all you want to say to me? Don't you have anything else?"

"Anything else?" Lu Li was taken aback. "What else?"

"Idiot."

Seeing that Lu Li was so insensitive, Shen Muqing punched him in frustration, then hugged his waist and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "When you come, I will—agree to you." Without waiting for Lu Li's response, she quickly left his embrace and hurriedly ran to the boarding gate.

As she turned, tears streamed down her face.

Shen Muqing left gracefully, leaving behind a slender and elegant figure.

Lu Li stood in the waiting hall for a long time, his complex expression gradually turning into a smile. Then he turned and went home.

Not long after he left the airport, two people came out of the exit. One was about forty or fifty years old, neatly dressed, and full of righteousness. The other was Xia Yuantian. He clearly respected the middle-aged man beside him and said as they walked out, "Master Song, it's rare for you to come to Hai Cheng. Why don't you rest for a few days before taking action?"

"No. A ghost harming people goes against the will of heaven and must be eliminated as soon as possible." Master Song firmly rejected.

"But now that the university is on break, that kid might have already gone home. If we go now, we might find nothing."

Master Song thought for a moment. "Since that's the case, let's first determine his residence."

Xia Yuantian's face brightened, and he quickly promised, "Master, rest assured. I'll send people to investigate right away. I believe we'll have news soon."

Indeed, it was busy at home, sigh.
