In the square, Ren Xiaosu had wanted to leave immediately, but the magician's words made him stop. He looked back and saw Li Shentan standing in the crowd, still holding a poker card in his hand. He had stopped performing magic.
The crowd around Li Shentan looked at Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu put on his hood to prevent too many people from remembering his appearance.
When Li Shentan saw that Ren Xiaosu had stopped, he smiled and said, "Wait a moment, let me finish performing this magic."
As he spoke, the crowd looked back at Li Shentan. They saw the poker cards in Li Shentan's right hand suddenly surge into the sky like a spring. He only had a stack of poker cards in his hand, but the poker cards flying above everyone's heads seemed to cover the sky and the sun.
Slowly, the poker cards gathered into a tornado and enveloped Li Shentan.
The crowd exclaimed. They could no longer tell whether it was magic or not, nor could they understand what was causing the poker cards to spin.
The dazzling poker cards finally completely surrounded Li Shentan. The crowd could no longer see Li Shentan. They could only see the poker cards still spinning rapidly.
In the midst of the countless poker cards, Li Shentan smiled and said, "3 … 2 … 1!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the poker card tornado landed on the ground. Li Shentan, who was in it, was nowhere to be seen!
The crowd cheered. They had never seen such a magical magic trick since they were young.
Moreover, everyone was so close to the magician. They saw the magician disappear into thin air with their own eyes!
A girl screamed, "He's too handsome, too handsome! I'm in love with this magician! This must be magic! "
Li Shentan had been performing magic in Luoyang City for some time. Because of his magical magic and outstanding appearance, he had attracted many girls to become his fans. Before night fell, many people would come to the square to wait for him to perform magic.
Meanwhile, Li Shentan did not disappoint the audience either. His magic tricks were never the same, and the audience could never tell how he did it.
Ren Xiaosu frowned. Even he couldn't tell how Li Shentan did it.
At this time, Li Shentan's laughter came from behind him. "What do you think of this magic?"
Ren Xiaosu looked back at Li Shentan and asked, "How did you do it?"
"It's just a smokescreen." Li Shentan smiled modestly.
But Ren Xiaosu knew it was definitely not as simple as a smokescreen. He just did not understand why Li Shentan would appear here. Moreover, he was clearly a legendary supernatural being, yet he liked to perform magic on the streets so much.
Li Shentan glanced at Zhou Yingxue, who was standing next to Ren Xiaosu. However, he did not ask anything. Instead, he seemed to have thought of something. "By the way, come with me. I still have something for you."
With that, Li Shentan led the way to a small park next to the square. It was a place where many of the stronghold residents strolled.
Li Shentan walked in front of Ren Xiaosu and was not worried that Ren Xiaosu would just walk away.
When he got to a place with no one around, he took out a piece of black cloth and threw it on the lawn. Ren Xiaosu was stunned by this move. What was Li Shentan trying to do?
Li Shentan looked at Ren Xiaosu and said with a smile, "I'm going to show you a magic trick."
With that, he blew at the black cloth and lifted it. A large pile of gold bars was placed on the lawn!
"This is for you." Li Shentan smiled happily and said, "Do you like it?"
Zhou Yingxue's eyes widened. However, Ren Xiaosu, who had always been greedy for money, did not move at all. He just frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"I robbed this from the Soong Clan, but it wasn't me. It was a supernatural being named Wang Congyang who did it," Li Shentan said with a smile.
"Wang Congyang? Who did he rob from?! "Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt like there was something very important behind all this.
"It should be a brigade commander from the Soong Clan. Wang Congyang drove his small train and knocked over the brigade commander's vehicle that was used to transfer his assets. After that, he took away half of the gold, and I took the other half as well. I knew you liked it, so I specially kept it for you." Li Shentan explained with a smile, "I didn't touch it at all. Our daily expenses are all earned from performing."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly understood something. Back when the Razor Sharp Company was being pursued by an armored brigade in the hinterlands of the Soong Clan, everyone could not understand why the armored brigade did not go to the front lines of the battlefield. Instead, they ran back to the hinterlands of the Soong Clan to chase after his steam locomotive.
Only now did he realize that he had also taken the blame for Wang Congyang?
They were not fucking pursuing him at all. Instead, when they saw the steam locomotive, they thought Wang Congyang was there as well, so they chased after Wang Congyang to get their assets back!
Ren Xiaosu was speechless. Even if he had copied someone else's skill, he should not have used it indiscriminately.
However, Ren Xiaosu still did not take the gold bar. To be honest, he did not really want to deal with Li Shentan that much. That was because it was very dangerous for a normal person to deal with a lunatic. You would not be able to figure out why the other party would do something like that.
He changed the topic and asked, "Where's that young lady next to you?"
Ren Xiaosu was asking about Si Liren. Weren't the two of them inseparable in the past? As he spoke, Ren Xiaosu looked up into the sky to see if Si Liren was flying around somewhere.
Li Shentan explained, "Oh, she's been obsessed with reading romance novels recently and doesn't go out at all."
"Why did you come to Luoyang City?" Ren Xiaosu asked again.
Li Shentan smiled and said, "Because this place is more suitable for performers like me. Don't you think the residents of Luoyang City are more 'lively' than the residents of the other strongholds? The other strongholds make me feel lifeless. It's like I'm sitting at home waiting to be exploited by the consortiums. "
Zhou Yingxue stood behind Ren Xiaosu without saying a word. She knew this was not the time for her to speak. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu scrutinized Li Shentan. He had a feeling that Li Shentan's motive was not that simple.
Could he be waiting here specifically to look for him? That didn't make sense. He had only come to Luoyang City by chance.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "What are you planning to do in the future? Perform magic in Luoyang City?"
"No, no, no." Li Shentan said with a smile, "I'm waiting for a miracle."
At this moment, it was Li Shentan who ended the conversation first. He said, "It's getting late, and the young lady is still waiting for me to buy some roasted sweet potatoes for her. I'll leave the gold here. If you want it, take it with you. If you don't want it, there's nothing I can do about it. We'll definitely meet again in the future. By the way, I suggest you make a trip to Qinghe University. You might find something there. "
With that, Li Shentan turned around and left without any hesitation.
It was as though he had arrived on a whim and was leaving after his excitement had run its course.
