God's Gift

Anthony choked for a few seconds, then asked, "What are they going to do? I feel like something big is going to happen."

"I don't know." Lu Keming casually adjusted his sleeves and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "I asked you to keep an eye on the village to see if there are any fewer people in the past few days. What's the result?"

When Lu Keming asked this, Anthony's expression immediately became serious. He looked around to make sure there was no one around, then stepped forward and whispered to Lu Keming:

"Master, it is true as you said. Girls have been missing in the village every day these days."

After saying that, Anthony thought for a few seconds and continued:

"But the villagers who lost their children didn't seem to care much. I guess they were using the girls as sacrifices to the Thousand-Faced Buddha."

Lu Keming's expression did not change at all. He was calm as if he had expected this. He patiently plucked a piece of white dog hair off his clothes, but his voice was indifferent.

"Keep staring."

Anthony was about to speak when Shen Minghua and Ye Li pushed open the gate and walked in. They both looked a little unhappy.

Lu Keming raised his eyes to look at their expressions, stopped what he was doing, and spoke with interest.

"What did you find out? Why do you all look so bitter and resentful?"

Shen Minghua and Ye Li stopped because of his words and looked at each other.

Shen Minghua took a deep breath and looked at Lu Keming, with some suppressed anger in his voice.

"We just went to the mountain and saw villagers grabbing seven girls and bleeding them into the incense altar."

"Like this." Lu Keming frowned slightly. So this was the method of sacrifice.

He responded, hiding the thoughts in his eyes, looked up and saw that both of them were unhappy. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why are you so angry? When Endless Township asked you to sacrifice the villagers, weren't you quite decisive?"

Hearing Lu Keming bring up this matter, Ye Li and Shen Minghua were reminded of how they were deceived by him, which made them even more upset.

Ye Li frowned and explained.

"Everything you do has a price to pay. The villagers who were sacrificed were the ones who had killed their relatives. This is retribution for their evil deeds."

Lu Keming, who was originally smiling sarcastically, froze at the corners of his mouth when he heard the phrase "evil will be punished" again.

Ye Li did not notice Lu Keming's reaction and continued, "The girls we saw today were only in their teens. They were smiling as they walked by the door after school a few days ago, but today they were caught by the villagers and taken to the mountain to bleed the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha."

"They have never done anything evil, and are even at the most innocent age, but they have to suffer such inhumane things because of that evil Buddha. Why can't we be angry?"

Ye Li's voice was firm, pushing back Lu Keming's sarcasm.

Lu Keming looked at Ye Li and sneered, "So what are you going to do, to save those girls?"

"Nothing is impossible." Shen Minghua responded and pulled Ye Li past Lu Keming.

"Does your mission allow you to save those girls?" Lu Keming lowered his eyes and continued to pick the dog hair off his clothes.

His voice was very soft, but it successfully made Shen Minghua and Ye Li stop.

The footsteps disappeared, but Lu Keming still kept his eyes downcast, his movements were neither hurried nor slow, with a sense of leisure as if he was confident in what he had planned.

Shen Minghua and Ye Li stopped for a few seconds and walked away again.

"Young Master, has the headquarters also sent you tasks for other students?" Anthony was stunned for a second when he saw this scene. After Ye Li and Shen Minghua left, he walked to Lu Keming and asked in a low voice.

"I guessed it." Lu Keming patted his clothes and responded casually.

Anthony fell silent, and after a while he looked at Lu Keming with admiration.

As expected, you are the young master.

Lu Keming didn't care what Anthony was thinking. He looked towards the house. Yu Youyou had changed into new clothes and jumped out of the house.

A smile appeared on Lu Keming's face. He squatted down and caught Yu Youyou who was rushing towards him.

"I saw Ali and Brother Minghua here just now. What were you talking about?" Yu Youyou stepped on Lu Keming's hand with her paw, kicked up a few times, and tucked her butt into Lu Keming's arms, asking while wagging her tail.

"Some small things." Lu Keming didn't want to tell Yu Youyou what he had just said to Shen Minghua and Ye Li, "I'll explain it to you in detail later."

"Oh." Yu Youyou nodded and asked excitedly, "What are we doing today?"

Lu Keming was about to answer when he heard unclear voices coming from outside. He frowned. Yu Youyou in his arms pricked up her ears to listen, then jumped out of his arms, ran to the door, and looked out curiously.

Lu Keming also followed, and when he reached the door, he saw Chen Qingqiu and Achou standing not far away from the door.

They seemed to be arguing about something, and this was the first time Lu Keming saw such excitement on this man's face.

The distance was still quite far, and the two of them couldn't hear what they said.

Yu Youyou stared at them with her dark eyes and tilted her head.

Fang Ziang was chewing an apple and just walked out of the house. When he saw a man and a dog standing at the door, he exclaimed "Huh" in surprise and walked over.

"Yu Youyou, what are you looking at?" He avoided Lu Keming, walked to the other side, and asked Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou raised her chin and pointed in the direction of Chen Qingqiu and Achou.

Fang Ziang looked over and just happened to see Ah Chou take out a letter from his pocket and hand it to Chen Qingqiu.

But Chen Qingqiu did not take the letter. He reached out and pushed the letter away.

"That can't be a love letter!" Fang Ziang widened his eyes in surprise. This is the first thing he saw when he arrived?

Lu Keming frowned and glanced at Fang Ziang. Fang Ziang was swept by his cold gaze and closed his mouth in disappointment.

Lu Keming then turned his gaze back. He looked down at Yu Youyou who tilted her head and explained:

"Chen Qingqiu must have received news from the city yesterday. He was originally planning to leave the village in two months, but yesterday he suddenly said he would leave here in two days."

He looked at Ah Chou who was still stubbornly handing the letter to Chen Qingqiu, and continued, "This Ah Chou probably doesn't want him to leave."

"Oh, I see." Yu Youyou nodded in understanding and continued to look at that place.

Over there, Chen Qingqiu seemed to have reached the point where he could no longer bear it. He threw the love letter that Achou had handed over to him to the ground. He had a bad expression on his face, but he continued to say something.

Ah Chou lowered his head and looked at the love letter that fell on the ground. Suddenly, he raised his head with a fierce expression and said something to Chen Qingqiu, which made Chen Qingqiu stunned for a few seconds.

He seemed very surprised and unbelievable, with a hint of anger in his expression. He raised his hand and was about to slap Achou.
