1793 Sudden Even (1/2)

”Huh? That's strange… Xiao Tianquan did not join the chat the whole day and now when the Red Envelope Snatching session is about to begin, he private messages me? I wonder if something's wrong?”

Chen Xiaobei checked the message immediately.

Xiao Tianquan: God Chen! Something big happened!

Chen Xiaobei: What is it? ????

Xiao Tianquan: I was out on duty with God Erlang for the whole day and we just came back from the Great Hall. Shen Gongpao came right after.

Chen Xiaobei: Shen Gongpao? What scheme is that idiot planning next?

Xiao Tianquan: He came to take the Bad Luck Charm from God Erlang!

Chen Xiaobei: Bad Luck Charm? The Mid-Autumn Red Envelope Snatching session is about to start soon. Is he going to use that Bad Luck Charm on me?”

Xiao Tianquan: You guessed it right! Because Shaoba Xingjun is not in the Heavenly Realm, there are very few Bad Luck Charms going around. Lately, Shen Gongpao has been running here and there gathering all the charms to be used against you!

Chen Xiaobei: Searching for all Bad Luck Charms? Does that mean he'll be using more than one Bad Luck Charm?

Xiao Tianquan: Yes! I overheard Shen Gongpao telling God Erlang that he had found 30 pieces of Bad Luck Charms. He is going to use all of it on you so that you won't be getting any Red Envelopes at all.

Chen Xiaobei: Wow! What the hell, wow! That asshole is seriously throwing me into the deep end! Thirty pieces of Bad Luck Charms! All to be used on me! I won't be getting shit tonight!

Xiao Tianquan: Oh, it's not just the Red Envelopes! For a long time in the coming days, you'll suffer from terrible luck! You will have to endlessly collect merit points to recover your luck!

Chen Xiaobei: F*ck! This Shen Gongpao is one sly son of a bitch! I don't mind not getting other Red Envelopes but my sifu is going to send me one today. If I don't get it, it'll be a complete waste of my sifu's effort!

Xiao Tianquan: What? The Prime of Tongtian will be giving out Red Envelopes? He will be giving out items that are at least Divine Tier! If other people got their hands on your Red Envelope, it would be a great loss for you!

Chen Xiaobei: No! If I can't have it, then no one else can! I better tell sifu not to send me the Red Envelopes tonight!

Chen Xiaobei sent a few messages to his sifu consecutively but there was no reply.

”Shit!” Chen Xiaobei was growing more anxious by the minute. ”If sifu doesn't see the messages and sends the Red Envelope out, it's over for me!”

As Xiao Tianquan had said, the Red Envelopes that the Prime of Tongtian sent were normally at least DIvine-Tier items.

If Chen Xiaobei failed to get it, the Red Envelope would then fall into someone else's hand. Worse yet, an enemy on Sheng Gongpao's side may get it.

But then again, that was still not the worse consequence!

”That lowlife Shen Gongpao is ruthless! How could he do this?!” Chen Xiaobei was gnashing his teeth. ”The session is going to start anytime now, and sifu is not returning my messages. I don't even stand a chance at salvaging this situation!”

”Childe Chen!” Qin Yitian suddenly walked into the study. ”The Mid-Autumn Festival dinner has already started. We're all waiting for you!”

”Oh, okay! You could've just asked one of the servants to call for me. You didn't have to come here yourself.”
