Old Villain quickly let go, and Ghostfire Young Master immediately lay on the ground and played dead.
Lu Chengwen walked over and kicked him. "Hey, are you dead or not!? If you're not dead, get up already. Acting out this whole bit by myself is way too dry."
Old Villain said, "Lu Chengwen! You claim you're Ni Huang's most beloved martial nephew. Do you have proof?"
Lu Chengwen said, "Of course! She asked me a few questions, and I got them all right."
"What questions?"
"What does one plus one equal?"
Ghostfire Young Master, who had recovered a little on the ground, weakly raised a hand. "Senior... he... he's talking nonsense... no one would ask..."
Old Villain looked at Lu Chengwen, overjoyed. "That matches too!"
Ghostfire Young Master's raised hand dropped back down. Lying on the ground, two streams of tears slid from the corners of his eyes.
There really was no road left for decent people to walk.
Liu Ruyan could not understand it.
How was Lu Chengwen like a pangolin? A wall that had been solid as iron, one nobody could do anything about—wherever he went, he could bore a hole right through it. Sharp, precise, painful, efficient...

This old bastard had originally been a brutal, arrogant master who looked down on everyone and was extremely difficult to control, but when it came to Lu Chengwen, he had been turned directly into an elderly simp!
