Chapter 4: Short Life

When she first met Leonard, he was already a leader in the global business world. The name Leonard symbolizes power and wealth. He is a legend at the top of the pyramid. However, fate made Leonard short-lived, and his brilliant career ended at the age of 35 .

She called him her mortal enemy because even after death, his soul still haunted her until the final battle, when she used all her strength to cast the sealing formation and fell from a high altitude, she saw Leonard flying over and trying to catch her...

Samantha couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Uncle Lee supported Leonard and slowly approached. The dilapidated mountain temple in front of them made the two of them obviously stunned.

"Uncle Lee, are you sure that the master grandpa mentioned is really here?" The young Leonard's voice was as clear as broken jade, but it contained an unquestionable sense of oppression.

Uncle Lee nodded and looked at Samantha inquiringly. Seeing that she was dressed simply, like a child from the nearby mountains, he hesitated for a moment and asked, "Little girl, do you know where the owner of this mountain temple is?"

Samantha responded calmly: "What do you want from my master?"

Uncle Lee's mouth twitched slightly, "I'm not looking for your master, but the owner of the mountain temple."

Could this girl be causing trouble on purpose?

Samantha saw the doubt in his eyes, clasped her hands and said softly: "Master Taixuan, what do you have to say?"

Looking at Leonard 's half-dead look, he probably came to see his master to change his fate.

Uncle Lee was dubious: "Are you really Master Taixuan's disciple? It doesn't look like it. You seem to be in your teens. The master has been traveling around the world for many years, and his whereabouts are erratic. He only said that we would come here to look for him in twenty years. He is an old man. Where are you now?"

Samantha also wanted to know the whereabouts of her master, but unfortunately the divination couldn't predict his whereabouts.

That's all, let's make peace with it now that it's here.

Samantha moved her body and sat on the rotten wooden doorstep that had been gnawed by a dog. She smiled at the two of them and said, "Master is traveling outside, and I will take care of the affairs of the mountain temple. If you have any problem, just tell me, I can solve it..."

Before he finished speaking, Leonard turned away expressionlessly.

" Master!" Uncle Lee hurriedly called him, "The old man said that you must come to the mountain temple to worship in order to save your life!"

Leonard glanced at Samantha coldly, "It's ridiculous for me to worship this pile of junk."

Samantha: “…”

It would be fine if he just said the mountain temple was dilapidated, but why was he staring at her?

Recalling the scene of him haunting her day and night when he was a ghost, Samantha couldn't help but feel a little hot in her ears, and she slapped the half of the rotten door.

"Bah, if you want to die, you'd better die far away, not in front of my house, it's so unlucky!"

Uncle Lee's eyes lit up: "Master! It seems that she is really the master's successor. She can see your fate at a glance!"

Leonard's eyes were grim and he was furious.

Uncle Lee, is he old?

He couldn't even tell that this girl was just scolding him!

" Young Master, since you are the descendant of the master, do you have any way to help my young master overcome this difficulty?"

Uncle Lee looked at her sincerely.

Leonard looked stern, his lips tightly pursed.

He wanted to see what ivory she could spit out of her dog's mouth.

Uncle Lee obviously sensed the young master's thoughts and tested Samantha by saying, "Since the young master is the master's apprentice, the master must have told him before he left that the Lee family would come to him to seek answers in twenty years, right?"

Samantha 's sharp eyes swept across Leonard's face.

His complexion was pale due to long-term illness, but his facial features were handsome, with sharp edges, clear eyes and thin lips. Although he was a little thin, his tall figure added a bit of abstinence to him.

Although this guy was mostly shameless when he was a ghost, it must be said that this face was really good-looking.

Both the skin and bone structure are perfect, it is a top-notch facial feature.

Unfortunately, his fate was too bad. If his master had not extended his life in the first twenty years, he would have died long ago.

Looking at his handsome features, dignified yet cold and aloof appearance, Samantha found it hard to associate him with the shameless dead man Leonard in her memory.

She had calculated Leonard's fortune and knew that he would encounter a disaster when he was twenty years old.

This is the White Tiger Evil.

“The White Tiger Evil brings bloody disasters and sudden misfortunes. Ordinary people will lose money or become seriously ill if they encounter it. You have a short life to begin with, and it will be even more dangerous if you encounter the White Tiger Evil…”

“ You are worthy of being the master’s direct disciple! These words are exactly what the master said! Young master, how should the young master resolve the White Tiger Evil?”Uncle Lee asked devoutly.

He is now certain that this seemingly poor and shabby girl is the master's disciple, otherwise how could she say the same words!

Samantha said casually: "It's very simple, just keep the person by my side for three days and it will be resolved..."

Before he finished speaking, Uncle Lee rushed towards the Maybach, left only one sentence and drove away.

"Master, I will come to pick you up in three days~~~"

The way he drove away in such a hurry made it look like he was running away.

Samantha was shocked: "Hey, what should I do if you just dump someone at my door and make it stink?"

Leonard said nothing and reached for the phone in his pocket.

But he found nothing.

The phone fell in the car.

The two looked at each other in silence, and finally the sound of Samantha's stomach growling with hunger broke the eerie silence.

"Um...are you hungry?" Samantha asked a little awkwardly.

She was familiar with the dead Leonard, but completely unfamiliar with the young Leonard.

Leonard didn't respond. He pulled off his tie with one hand, slowly unbuttoned it, and pretended to take off his suit jacket.

Samantha had seen this scene so many times that she jumped up almost reflexively and grabbed the sides of the suit jacket, pulling it tight to stop him from moving.

Leonard rarely had close contact with people, and when the girl suddenly pounced on him, he suddenly became short of breath.

Looking at his handsome face that was flushed with pain, Samantha reacted suddenly, let go of his clothes and took two steps back, "Why are you taking off your clothes?"

"Dirty." Leonard casually took off his coat and threw it on the rotten wood, then sat down.

It turned out to be used as a butt pad, she thought...

Facing his indifferent eyes with a hint of surprise, Samantha said seriously: "The temperature in the mountains is low, and Leonard is weak, so it's best not to take off his clothes everywhere."

Leonard: "..."

Why does this sound so awkward?

Samantha ran to a nearby grave to find some food.

Leonard watched her eat the offerings of the dead with big mouthfuls, his brows furrowed.

"Can this be eaten?"

Samantha picked up an apple and handed it to him while eating roast chicken. "I asked the tomb owner and he said it's edible."

Leonard: “?”

Isn’t the tomb owner already dead?

She was asking about ghosts.

Never mind. None of this has anything to do with him.

If Grandpa hadn't insisted that he come to the mountain temple to worship, he wouldn't have believed it. He just had to wait until dark and someone would come to pick him up.

As for the girl who ate with such gusto…

It would be better for him to stay away.
