CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 100: RUAN RUAN MUST NEVER FIND OUT HE MOCKED HER LION HEAD DRAWING

Su Ruan furrowed her brows slightly, "Zhang Shan?"

"What is he doing here at this time?"

"I don’t know." Lu Shinian deactivated the privacy mode and said, "Ruan Ruan, you go inside first."

Su Ruan asked with some concern, "What if he recognizes you?"

Lu Shinian chuckled softly, "Is Ruan Ruan underestimating what 3S Spirit Power can do?"

Su Ruan: ...

High spiritual power is remarkable? Well, it really is remarkable.

She nodded slightly and then turned to enter the house.

As for the issue with her abnormal spiritual power, she decided to find a suitable opportunity to tell him later.

After watching Su Ruan enter the house, Lu Shinian took out a human skin mask from the Space Button.

This human skin mask had been in the Space Button for many years, left by an old friend for backup. He never thought that after so many years, he would actually need to use it.

After putting on the human skin mask, Lu Shinian deliberately suppressed his aura to make himself look like an ordinary person.

Then he commanded the system manager, [Open the door.]

The door swung open, revealing Zhang Shan’s slightly frail body.

Zhang Shan was very thin, yet he wore oversized clothes that didn’t match his figure, as if trying to hide something.

He craned his neck to look inside the villa, but all he could see was the tall figure of Lu Shinian standing in front of him, coldly saying, "What do you want?"

Zhang Shan rubbed his hands, his small eyes concealing a hint of greed, "Are you the owner of this villa, sir? I came by earlier, and it was your wife who answered."

"She said you’ve entered the Ancestral Stage, and I left you a little gift. Did you see it?"

Lu Shinian knew what gift he was referring to—a piece of trash that looked like a Level 1 Energy Stone but was merely an ordinary rock.

"I saw it." His voice, though cold, was more robotic than usual, matching the persona he took on with the human skin mask.

In Zhang Shan’s eyes, the man before him was just an average guy. Although slightly taller, his face was so ordinary that you’d forget it in a crowd.

With just a quick glance, Zhang Shan classified him as "plain" in his mind.

What Zhang Shan didn’t realize was that this impression was because of the realistic human skin mask and because Lu Shinian intentionally used his spiritual power to lower his presence.

In short, after Lu Shinian "intentionally disguised," Zhang Shan let down more than half of his guard.

Zhang Shan rubbed his hands and leaned in closer, speaking in a low voice, "Brother, that’s a Level 1 Energy Stone with zero impurities."

"How about it?"

Lu Shinian didn’t betray any other emotion, merely furrowing his brows, "Are you talking about that Level 1 Energy Stone with zero impurities that’s about to be auctioned at the Galaxy Auction?"

"Of course." Zhang Shan glanced around cautiously, "Brother, why don’t we talk inside?"

As he spoke, he attempted to enter the villa.

Lu Shinian blocked him, his voice still robotic, "My wife is tired and resting inside. I don’t want to wake her."

Zhang Shan gave a knowing look, "Still strong in the snow... impressive!"

Lu Shinian’s long lashes lowered, a dark gleam flashing in his eyes.

"There’s no such thing as an Energy Stone with zero impurities in this world." He redirected the conversation, "How can I believe what you’re saying is true?"

"Brother, you can trust me." Zhang Shan grinned, his small eyes glinting with greed, "The Energy Stone at the Galaxy Auction is also supplied by me."

"I felt we had a connection." Zhang Shan rubbed his hands, "So I wanted to give you a backdoor opportunity."

"All the people at the Galaxy Auction have tested it. Can it be fake?"

"Look, I have one left. I won’t cheat you. One million a piece, how about it?"

"A Level 1 Energy Stone with zero impurities is very cheap at one million apiece."

Zhang Shan spoke, pulling out a Level 1 Energy Stone, shielded by his clothes, and motioned to Lu Shinian, "Look at this gloss; it’s different from ordinary Energy Stones."

It was indeed different. Lu Shinian looked down, seemingly curling the corners of his mouth subtly. This man even hid an Illusion Insect on him, quite interesting.

"All my money is with my wife." Lu Shinian’s lips remained straight, with no sign of the earlier hint of mischief, "The auction starts in a couple of days. You could take it there."

"As you said, one million per stone is very cheap."

If it were real, it would indeed be cheap.

But this item is fake.

Zhang Shan grew anxious. He initially took the risk of trying to deceive the seemingly honest-looking new neighbor because he appeared easy to dupe.

However, it turns out, honest is honest, but damn it, he’s also a cheapskate!

"What’s the point of giving all the money to your wife?" he muttered, "Why don’t you ask her? This is an Energy Stone with zero impurities!"

"She’s too tired." Lu Shinian acted like a henpecked husband, "I dare not wake her; she’d get upset."

"I’ll ask her when she wakes up. If she agrees, I’ll buy it."

"That’s the only way." Zhang Shan sighed, "I live next door, so you better decide quickly, or I’ll sell it to someone else."

Lu Shinian firmly nodded, "Rest assured, once she wakes, I’ll ask her."

Although Zhang Shan was anxious and unwilling, he dared not force his way in. The villa’s protective system would allow the other party to kill him if he did.

As long as he could make the sale today, there was no problem. The woman should wake up in a few hours.

Zhang Shan never doubted they wouldn’t buy it. No one experiencing the Ancestral Stage could resist an Energy Stone with zero impurities.

"You’d better hurry." Zhang Shan advised again before he left.

After he left, Lu Shinian instructed the system manager to activate the privacy mode, casually taking off the human skin mask. Looking at the Light Brain on his left wrist, he quietly called, [003.]

[Master, I’m here!] 003 responded promptly.

Lu Shinian commanded, [Investigate Zhang Shan, thoroughly.]

003: [Yes!]

The Light Brain flickered with blue light, and Lu Shinian ordered, [One more thing, delete all argument videos of me and the Lion Star Thief Group leader from when we battled.]

003: [You mean those where you mocked the Lion Head flag of the Lion Star Thief Group as hideous, childish, grotesque...]

Before it finished, Lu Shinian cut it off.

[Yes, all of them. Delete them.]

If Ruan Ruan found out he had despised her drawing of the Lion Head before...

Lu Shinian’s mouth twitched slightly, and he sternly commanded again, [Delete first, investigate later, hurry up!]

Ruan Ruan must never know he once criticized her Lion Head drawing!
