Chapter 509 509: The Frustrated Zhuge the Semi-Immortal
After Su Chen shouted, an old man dressed in gray Daoist robes walked out from the house.
The expression on his face was the epitome of gloom, as if he had eaten shit, while the little boy timidly hid behind the old man's voluminous Daoist robes, occasionally peeping out with a pair of shiny black eyes at the man in front.
"Little Xia, Brother Su is here to see you, why are you hiding?"
Su Chen beckoned to the little boy with a smile.
"Hmph, I don't believe you!"
The little boy snorted.
"Spit it out, you scoundrel, what are you here for?"
Zhuge Dongming looked at Su Chen with a wary face, as if a night cat had entered the house.
"Of course, I'm here to make some connections."
Su Chen rubbed his hands together and grinned, his appearance indescribably sleazy.
"You've already emptied out my treasures, there's nothing left for you, just leave!"
Zhuge Dongming directly said upon hearing this.
"I don't believe that, I heard what you said to Little Xia just now. Besides, it's been years since I've been here, how could you let me leave empty-handed!"
At this moment, Su Chen's eyes were already gleaming with excitement, it seemed that this old rascal had accumulated quite a few good things over the years, this trip was really worth it!
With that, he strode toward one of the rooms.
Pei Man watched this scene and suddenly felt extremely surprised, how could Mr. Zhuge, who was revered like a saint by every noble family, seem to be as scared of Su Chen as a mouse in the presence of a cat?
"Don't go in, there really aren't any good things left in my house!"
Zhuge Dongming stood at the doorway blocking him, if this kid got in, could he really keep his treasures safe?
"Are you really going to fight me?"
Su Chen glanced at him, the corner of his mouth curling into a mischievous smile.
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Dongming immediately stepped aside obediently.
Pei Man saw this and became even more amazed, could it be that what Su Chen said last time was true, was he really that formidable, so much that Mr. Zhuge was so fearful of him?
"Mr. Zhuge, why do you seem so afraid of him?"
Pei Man wheeled closer to Zhuge and asked.
"Afraid my ass, I'm afraid of his master, that old ghost of a master is the most protective. If I lay a finger on this kid, he'll probably pretend to be injured, even intentionally making himself severely injured, then go back and tattle!"
Zhuge Dongming vented in frustration:
"If that old ghost of a master comes, he'd probably tear down my house!"
At these words, Pei Man couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter.
No wonder Su Chen was so fearlessly brazen! It turns out he has a master who'd back him up no matter what!
"Alright, I need to go in and see, who knows what state this kid has left my place in?"
Zhuge Dongming slipped by and quickly walked into the house, and Pei Man followed in her wheelchair.
"Yo, isn't this Huang Quan's 'Rare Birds Painting'?"
As soon as Su Chen walked in, he saw a lifelike painting of insects, birds, and turtles hanging on the wall.
Without further ado, he leaped up, took the painting down, and then rolled it up.
Further inside, there were two more inherited famous paintings, which he also took down.
"Eh, isn't this a Yuan blue and white 'Zhuge Liang Down the Mountain' pot?"
Su Chen suddenly spotted the blue porcelain on a table nearby and said:
"I heard it was auctioned off for three hundred million a couple of years ago, didn't expect it to end up in your hands, old chap!"
Naturally, he took the porcelain into his embrace, and then rapped on the table underneath it:
"This table isn't bad either, it must be made from golden-threaded nanmu from the Ming Dynasty imperial supply, a fine example of its kind, selling it for a few hundred million shouldn't be a problem."
Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Zhuge Dongming's face couldn't help but twitch, thinking to himself, "You're not going to take the table too, are you?"
"But never mind, it's such a big piece, and it won't fit well in my car,"
Su Chen sighed and shook his head.
At this, Zhuge Dongming couldn't help but pat his chest, letting out a sigh of relief, but before he had completely relaxed, he heard Su Chen curl his lips and say:
"I'll just leave it here this time, and find a truck next time."
Zhuge Dongming's mouth twitched immediately, looking like he wanted to curse but swallowed the words back!
Pei Man was completely stunned as well, no wonder Zhuge was so alarmed upon hearing of his arrival!
How is this behavior any different from a robber's?!
The key point was, this was Zhuge the immortal's home! And it was all happening right in front of Zhuge the immortal himself!
But to Su Chen, this was hardly anything. Could such trivial items really get rid of him?
Su Chen glanced around, then noticed a leather suitcase that had been placed high up, his eyes immediately bursting with a more searing gleam!
Zhuge Dongming naturally noticed Su Chen's gaze and was alarmed. He quickly pleaded:
"Please spare my suitcase; there really isn't much in it."
In the voice of the great Zhuge Dongming, there was almost a sob.
"Let's just have a look first,"
A smile appeared on Su Chen's lips, and he promptly took the suitcase down.
"Mr. Zhuge, by saying that, you're definitely not going to make him give up on the suitcase,"
Pei Man said with a laugh from the side.
"Do you think, if I don't speak, this damned guy would stop?"
Zhuge Dongming spat out with ill humor.
Pei Man smiled and didn't say anything, but she didn't expect that Su Chen could actually manage to suppress someone like Mr. Zhuge completely.
Su Chen opened the suitcase, and at a glance, saw that it was filled with clothes.
Without a second thought, he tossed all the clothes onto the ground. The suitcase was immediately empty, there was nothing but the clothes.
However, there was not the slightest sign of disappointment on Su Chen's face. He felt the bottom of the suitcase and found nothing out of the ordinary. Then he felt the lid of the suitcase and still found nothing.
Su Chen then frowned and, looking at Zhuge, he smiled and said:
"It seems your methods of hiding things have improved again."
"There was never anything there,"
Zhuge Dongming said.
"Do you think I would believe you?"
Su Chen smiled slightly, closed the suitcase again, flipped it over, and started to check it out.
His eyes slowly narrowed, while Zhuge Dongming's heart began to pound nervously…
Suddenly, Su Chen grabbed the suitcase's wheel and pulled it off in one go!
"How about it, old trickster, still hiding things from me?"
Su Chen laughed triumphantly.
Zhuge Dongming felt utterly defeated, his own so carefully concealed item had still been found by this damned guy!
It took Su Chen no time to dismantle the wheel, and from the middle bearing, he pulled out a nail-cap-sized item wrapped in tattered cloth.
Su Chen immediately unwrapped the cloth and found a small, blue-glowing, round pill inside.
Seeing the small pill, Su Chen's eyes widened suddenly:
"Old trickster, you actually have such a good thing!"
What do you think?
