Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

203. His Face Is Swollen

Translator: Helene

When Zhuo Hua returned to the Chu house with Kaka, he looked around but failed to find Chu Ze.

A servant saw him and went up to ask if Zhuo Hua needed anything.

“Well, I happen to meet my old friend today, so I like to ask if he can stay here for a few days.” Zhuo Hua thought he’d better tell Chu Ze as he had brought a stranger back.

“Since it’s a friend of Mr. Zhuo, he could stay here of course.”  Lord Ze had told them to satisfy any request of Zhuo Hua. They had to pick the stars in the sky for him if he asked.

“Please convey my thanks to Lord Ze.”

“Mr. Zhuo, don’t mention it. This is my duty.”

For a few days, Zhuo Hua and Kaka went to investigate on Netherworld Palace, but it was getting more difficult. Somehow, more guards suddenly appeared around the hall.

Zhuo Hua had thought they had alerted the Palace, but he found there were more and more people on the street. Besides, he hadn’t seen Chu Ze for a few days. Zhuo Hua knew Chu Ze had a high position in Purgatory City, so he guessed something was going to take place in the city.

“Mister, why are there so many people these days. What is the event?”

Zhuo Hua just came back to the reality when he saw a man stop and ask another man.

The man who got stopped glanced at the man. “With a glance I can see you are a newcomer. This is Nether King Festival that took place in Purgatory City once in hundreds of years. The king will come out on that day, and we can see him in person. You know that it takes the good luck of three lives to see the king.”

“What’s more important is that when the king comes out, blessings will land randomly on us. These blessings decide what path we would take in reincarnation. For those who have done all kinds of vicious things when they are alive, the path of animals would be a good ending for them, as they would become humans after ten lives. If they take the path of ghost and path of hell, they have no hope at all.”

“Therefore, everyone comes for the blessings on the festival. The closer we get to the king, the bigger the blessings are. Therefore, there are so many people coming to Nether Town these days.”

“It’s only three days away from the festival, and you will see more people in the next two days. This street will be packed on that day.” The man stroked his imaginary moustache, as if he was seeing the crowd in three days.

Zhuo Hua listened and he had an idea. The Nether King Festival in three days would be a chance. However, it was too coincidental, as the fesival took place not long after Li was brought here. Zhuo Hua shuddered. He had to rescue Li in three days. Li might be safe before the festival, but it was hard to say after the festival.

Kaka thought the same way. The two of them went back to the Chu house and discuss the ways to save Li.

When they returned to the Chu house, they saw a figure walking along the wall furtively. It looked like Chu Ze, so Zhuo Hua called him.

“Yes?” The man responded and turned his head instinctively.

Zhuo Hua looked at Chu Ze’s swollen face, the corner of his mouth twitching. Kaka looked at the host, thinking he looked wretched.

“What’s wrong?” Zhuo Hua asked. Very few could hurt Chu Ze in Purgatory City.
