My apprentice is a little weird?

Although Shopkeeper Lu was in high spirits, he was not overwhelmed by joy.

Those who were still able to stand were told to go back and recuperate, and the shop was closed.

After doing all this, he told Li Qiaoer everything.

Finally, he said, "Yesterday I realized that he was not an ordinary person. I thought it would be good to make a good relationship with him, so I did it~"

"I didn't expect it to come true so soon. I wanted to ask that person to help you cure your illness."

Li Qiaoer raised the corner of her mouth, and her eyes revealed an emotion that was difficult to understand.

"Uncle Lu, thank you"

Shopkeeper Lu was stunned: "Why are you thanking me?"

"It was that person who saved me last night. If it weren't for him, I might have died last night."

"Thanks to you, we have this connection. That person is a true immortal."

Shopkeeper Lu suddenly realized that this was the case.

Thinking of this, Shopkeeper Lu couldn't help but feel the silver in his hand burning a little, and wondered whether he should offer this piece of silver as an offering or something.

Then Li Qiaoer said again:

"Uncle Lu, let's talk about the past later. I need your help now."

Shopkeeper Lu's face turned serious and he spoke solemnly:

"Qiao'er, I know you are eager for revenge, but the two families are so powerful now that it is difficult for us to defeat them alone. We need to conserve our energy and wait for the right time to act."

Li Qiaoer nodded, but did not adopt it.

"Uncle Lu, you don't know the Li family, nor do you know how much the Li family has deployed in Lianshan City in the past, and to what extent, but I know everything."

"I already have a perfect plan, all you have to do is follow my instructions..."

"Today you..."

Shopkeeper Lu's brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed. Finally, he stood up suddenly and said in surprise:

"You! What are you going to do after you do this? Don't you plan to live in Lianshan City in the future?"

Li Qiaoer smiled faintly, suppressing the biting coldness in her eyes.

"Uncle Lu, can you..."

Shopkeeper Lu looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Is this still the same well-educated, lively and cheerful niece?

Shopkeeper Lu took a half step back unnaturally and said:

"no problem"

"That's good. Uncle Lu, all you have to do next is wait for news~"

…………

In the afternoon, snowflakes began to fall from the sky of Lianshan City again.

Just as every household had finished clearing the snow in front of their doors, a new layer of snow fell in the blink of an eye, so they simply gave up.

In front of a book room.

Jiang Yan was holding a pile of books in his arms, followed by little Shen Ming.

The two walked out under the happy gaze of the bookstore owner, who even bowed to them and said goodbye.

"Sir, take care. If you need anything in the future, you can come to our store and get some free services. Please take care, sir. Be careful of the slippery ground~"

As he spoke, he wiped the silver in his arms, his mouth grinning and unable to close.

It's almost the New Year, and basically no one comes to the library. Even on normal days, not many people come.

Other bookstores had closed long ago, and he was planning to close his store as well, but he didn’t expect a large customer to come!

Almost two months' supply was sold in one go! Now we can have a good Chinese New Year!

……

"Xiao Shenming, take a look, do you know what this is?"

Jiang Yan raised several stacks of books in his arms and looked at Shen Ming with interest.

Shen Ming also cooperated very well. He leaned forward slightly and looked upwards, and then, when he couldn't see anything, he began to tilt his head and act cute.

Jiang Yan naturally knew that she would not answer, so he just talked to himself.

"This is the beginning of your life of despair, and it may also be the origin of my collapse."

Shen Ming had no idea what Jiang Yan meant, so she just opened her mouth slightly:

"Ah...Master..."

Jiang Yan wanted to tease her, but with a book in his hand, he gave up the idea and sighed to himself.

"Oh... Shen Ming, you must be a smart kid, otherwise, this will really become the source of my breakdown..."

"Master...don't cry..."

.........

Jiang Yan brought Shen Ming back to Li Mansion. The Li Mansion at this moment was completely different from when they left.

Everywhere seemed lifeless. Some servants were in a hurry, carrying large and small bags, while others had sad faces and red and swollen eyes.

Inside the hall of Li's residence, white cloth curtains hung all over the room, with a coffin placed in the middle.

Li Qiao'er was lying quietly inside, her eyes closed, her face pale, and she was no longer alive.

The area was crowded with people.

Some covered their faces and cried, some looked around quietly, and some even cried loudly, and followed closely to the coffin to express their condolences.

It seemed that he was sad for Li Qiaoer, but in fact he was secretly observing to see if she was dead.

The whole hall was filled with wailing.

Suddenly, a loud howl sounded from outside, and Shopkeeper Lu walked into the hall with his clothes torn, hair and beard disheveled, and injuries on his body.

He pulled away those who had fallen on the coffin and looked at Li Qiaoer in disbelief.

Then he felt for her pulse with a trembling hand and let out another wail.

This prevented some people in the venue who wanted to attack from getting close.

But there was no need to go up again, because they had already confirmed that Li Qiaoer was indeed dead.

After realizing this, some people quietly retreated and informed the masters behind them.

.........

Shopkeeper Lu sat next to Li Qiaoer, his expression gloomy and his eyes dull, and the people around him had similar expressions.

But at this time, Li Qiaoer's personal maid stood up.

With tears on his face, he trembled as he took out the package from his arms and handed it to Shopkeeper Lu, saying:

"Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu, the young lady left something before she passed away...she said she wanted to give it to you~"

Shopkeeper Lu took it numbly, opened it, and found a letter and a pure gold token inlaid with many gems.

And the moment he took out the token, almost everyone's eyes turned to him, and many of them had greed in their eyes.

"The Patriarch's token! It's actually here~"

"How could it be? How could it be given to him? Damn it!"

"What do you mean? Are you saying that we are going to hand over the Li family to him? Damn it!"

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the venue.

"That's enough! Shut up!"

A loud shout rang out, instantly shocking the entire audience.

The person who spoke was a Li family guard. He was one of the twelve guards of the Li family and was only loyal to the head of the family.

His clothes moved without wind and his whole body was filled with fierce blood, just like a real master.

After he finished scolding everyone, he quickly walked to Shopkeeper Lu and knelt on one knee:

"Master Lu, before the young lady died, she asked you to take care of all the assets of the Li family. This letter contains the young lady's last words and the treasure of the Li family! The token is the key."

"So please take charge of the situation as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, many other guards suddenly echoed him one after another.

But at the same time, some doubts began to arise, saying why the Li family allowed an outsider to take control, but because they were not important enough, they were basically suppressed easily.

Shopkeeper Lu didn't say a word from beginning to end, just stared at the token in a daze.

Hearing the argument, he came to his senses, but instead of reading the letter, he stood up tremblingly and closed the coffin lid with his own hands.

"Qiao'er..."
