Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 410: Not Like the Ones I Know

Chapter 410: Chapter 410: Not Like the Ones I Know

“Have you thought about healing at all?” Cen Yunuo asked.

“I have, I worked part-time during university to save a bit of money and intended to start a business after graduation, but unfortunately, I was scammed by the Celestial Dragon Sect,” the girl mumbled.

Oh?

Cen Yunuo and Lu Ran were taken aback.

How did this get tangled up with the Celestial Dragon Sect?

“Sister, you probably know, the Celestial Dragon Sect is quite renowned in Jingzhou, and I too was brainwashed by them, believed in their lies, and ended up not going to the hospital. Instead, I bought their so-called medicine, which in hindsight was just flour pills. Not only did they cheat me out of my money, but they also delayed my illness.”

“Later, I tried to expose them, but their influence is too great, I couldn’t do anything.”

“I tried to persuade others not to believe them, but no one wanted to listen to me.”

“If only someone could bring them to justice, but unfortunately, I don’t have much of a chance.”

“I’m just a bit worried, if I leave, what will happen to my dad? He doesn’t know anything yet.”

“I don’t have the heart to tell him either.”

…

Listening to the girl’s words, Cen Yunuo and Lu Ran were somewhat astonished.

It’s rare for the girl to wake up to the truth, realizing those Buddhists are not good people.

But it’s hard for others to come to such an understanding.

Probably only those who’ve experienced life and death realize those Buddhist things are all deceitful.

But not everyone has the chance to experience life and death.

Moreover,

Even if one realizes the truth, there’s nothing much that can be done.

At this moment,

The father from the kitchen brought out the noodles, one bowl each for Cen Yunuo and Lu Ran.

Honestly, it smells great!

Although there’s no special attribute, in terms of filling the stomach and taste, it’s absolutely delicious!

Lu Ran hadn’t experienced this in a long time.

At that moment,

The girl brought out a serving of cold dishes from the kitchen and placed it on the table.

“It’s on the house, eat up. These days the world is in chaos, soon even this restaurant might not be able to stay open,” the girl said.

It was because of this sentence,

That Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo felt a bit awkward.

Because the cold dish was free, but the noodles needed to be paid for.

Yet Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo, didn’t have any money!

They were both Professionals and didn’t have this world’s currency, they were so focused on eating, they hadn’t even considered that they couldn’t pay.

“Are we going to run on two bowls of noodles?” Lu Ran asked exasperatedly.

“I never thought of this, this is bad,” Cen Yunuo admitted awkwardly.

“Weren’t you a local here? Don’t you have money?” Lu Ran asked.

“Nonsense, I used to be, but not anymore, where would I have money, I do have Gold Coins, but who knows if they’d accept them,” Cen Yunuo replied awkwardly.

Seeing the girl approach again, the two quickly shut up.

And focused on eating the noodles.

The girl continued to open up and talk.

She said, “Although I haven’t been out yet, I heard that the Professionals here are really powerful. But they don’t seem like they’re from the same world as us. Who knows if they’re cruel, if they really wanted to target us, one person could easily kill thousands, how terrifying.”

Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo felt a bit awkward.

Probably the Professionals haven’t had much contact with this world yet?

Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo were among the first batch to arrive.

But didn’t expect,

People here already knew about the existence of Professionals.

And…

The impression of Professionals wasn’t very good.

Soon after,

The two bowls of noodles were finished.

Cen Yunuo and Lu Ran exchanged worried glances.

Thinking, what should we do now?

Run away?

That would be straightforward, with Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo’s abilities, no one could stop them, they could just skip on the noodles.

But if the owner of this restaurant was a bad person, the two of them wouldn’t feel guilty at all.

But considering the girl’s situation now, if they did skip out on paying, they’d be such beasts!

Meanwhile,

The girl came over to settle the bill.

And said with a smile: “Twenty-four bucks, the cold dishes are complimentary.”

“Ahem ahem…” Lu Ran coughed twice.

Glanced at Cen Yunuo.

In the end, it was Lu Ran who spoke up: “We forgot to bring money when we went out, so…”

The girl was taken aback.

Then waved it off, saying: “It’s normal, in these chaotic times, even before, there were occasions when people forgot to bring money, just pay next time if our restaurant is still around by then, hehe…”

The girl still had the mood to chat and joke.

Apparently, she wasn’t much concerned about the money for the noodles.

Lu Ran felt uneasy.

So he contemplated and said, “Why don’t you come with us.”

Ah?

The girl was confused, then waved her hand and said, “No need, it’s just for two bowls of noodles, there’s no need to specially fetch it, pay next time.”

Lu Ran shook his head and said, “It’s not about the money for the noodles, we have some issues with the Celestial Dragon Sect too, which need to be addressed, come with us, we can help you get back the money they scammed you out of, and as for your illness, I have a way to heal it.”

Upon hearing this,

The girl was a bit surprised.

Just two bowls of noodles, is it really necessary to go this far?

“Do you know any authoritative doctors in this field? But… I’m aware of my own condition, being terminally ill, it’s really hopeless,” the girl shook her head and said.

“Somewhat, but the doctor I know is different from what you’re thinking, you’ll see when the time comes, give yourself a chance, and give your dad a chance too, come with us, to the Celestial Dragon Sect,” Lu Ran said.

After speaking,

Lu Ran looked at Cen Yunuo.

The latter nodded approvingly.

In this regard, as a disciple of the Taoist Sect, Cen Yunuo could probably empathize more.

And highly appreciated Lu Ran’s current actions.

The Taoist Sect speaks of cause and effect, from them missing the car, to eating here, and the subsequent series of events, could all be related to cause and effect.

“Alright then, let’s go, at least to get the money back,” the girl hesitated and nodded.

She also looked towards the kitchen.

Probably not solely to cure her illness, because she probably didn’t think she could be cured.

Death was certain.

But if before dying, she could retrieve the money, leaving it for her father, that would provide some comfort.

Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo could see the girl’s intentions.

But said nothing more.

She would know by then anyway.

“Dad, I’m going out for a bit, I’ll be back soon.” The girl shouted towards the kitchen.

“Okay, be quick, with no phone signal now, things are pretty chaotic out there, don’t wander aimlessly, got it?” the father replied from the back.

Afterward,

The three left the restaurant.

Since they couldn’t take a taxi, they had no choice but to walk.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too far.

On the road,

The girl watched as people around were all in chaos.

And couldn’t help but say, “Do you think there’s a chance that some Professionals have already come to our place?”

Hmm?

Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo turned to look at the girl in unison.

“Who knows the difference in appearance between Professionals and us? But they are very capable, like Immortals, wonder how the world ended up like this,” the girl mumbled.

Yet didn’t doubt Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo’s identity.

“By the way, my name is Cheng Maixiang, and you are?” the girl asked.

Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo introduced themselves:

“Lu Ran.”

“Cen Yunuo.”
