The show ‘Super Brain’ had already aired its third episode, and Lu Miao’s performance on the program had won her numerous fans. Coupled with her beautiful appearance and exceptional figure, several advertising companies approached her for endorsement deals.
Moreover, several variety shows wanted to invite her as a regular guest, offering contract fees as high as eight digits. Though the eight-digit contract was tempting, Lu Miao declined the offers. Participating in ‘Super Brain’ was a request from the school principal and was also a way to promote Zhenhai High School. She had no intention of venturing into the entertainment industry.
After confirming from Auntie Xiu was indeed sick, Qin Shuang agreed to pay an additional five million to purchase the love charm. Lu Miao handed the item to Lin Bufan and instructed him, “Tell her to put it in water and make the person drink it in her presence. This is three times the usual dose. Usually, one dose is enough, and the rest can be considered a gift from me.’
Lin Bufan looked at the item curiously, asking, ‘Does this thing really work?’
Lu Miao gave him a meaningful look and replied, ‘Do you want to try it?’
Lin Bufan shuddered and quickly waved his hands, ‘Haha, no need, I believe my charm is enough to find someone who likes me.’
He didn’t dare to use the love charm that Qin Shuang was desperately looking for. He feared not even knowing how he’d end up dead.
‘How is the search for the other artifacts I asked for?’ Lu Miao inquired.
To break the Seven Killings formation, she needed those specific artifacts.
“Only the Three Pure Bells are left. I’ve had people searching all over the country, but so far, there are no leads,” Lin Bufan replied with a headache. “But rest assured, I’ve also spread the information abroad.”
‘No need to search anymore, I know where it is,’ Lu Miao stated directly.
She had helped a young girl named Xu Zhenzhen before, and the bell hanging around her neck was the Three Pure Bell. If she was right, when Wen Yaoyang killed Xu Zhenzhen, the bell was still around her neck. That’s why she could hear the bell’s sound when she was in the hospital.
In other words, the bell was now on Xu Zhenzhen’s body.
That was why she didn’t ask Xu Xinran for the Three Pure Bell last time.
Pressing her temples with her fingers, Lu Miao continued, “Leave this matter to me, and make sure you pass on my message to her.”
“Understood,” Lin Bufan nodded.
Then, he hesitated and asked again, “Boss, I heard that Qin Shuang and the Lu family have a daughter also named Lu Miao, and she was later engaged and married to Mr Gu. You’re not…”
Lu Miao gave him a faint glance and said, “Don’t ask, if you asked, I’ll tell you I’m not.”
Lin Bufan quickly made a zipping gesture across his mouth, indicating that he knew nothing. ”
The next day, when Lu Miao arrived at school, she coincidentally ran into Lu Siyu at the school gate. It seemed that Lu Siyu’s mood had improved, probably because she had obtained the love gu and was no longer bothered by the accusations of being a traitor.
Lu Siyu smirked and glanced at her before straightening her posture and walking towards the school.
Lu Miao’s lips curled up, but she did not mind.
When she walked into the classroom, she saw a group of people huddled together and discussing.
“What time does it start?”
“The news said that it’s from 11 pm to 3 am. This is a once-in-60-years event, so we can’t miss it.”
Lu Miao stepped forward and took a glance.” What can’t be missed?”
“It’s the Leo meteor shower. They say it’s the biggest meteor shower in the world, with an average of four to five thousand meteors per hour.”
Su MO explained and then noticed Lu Miao, expressing concern. “Boss, Li Sihai said you took sick leave. How are you feeling?”
“I’m fine.’
Lu Miao waved her hand and reached for Su MO’s phone to look at the news on the screen.
Observing her actions, Su MO quickly added, “According to the information, the best time to watch the meteor shower tonight is after midnight. The best viewing spot in Luo City is in the South Mountain. However, it’s too late, and the South Mountain location is too remote.
I heard there was a murder case there just last year, and the culprit hasn’t been caught yet. It’s too dangerous, especially in the middle of the night. It’s not suitable to go there.
Otherwise, with so many shooting stars, if someone’s lucky, they might even find one.”
“Our school’s newly built observatory should be good too. Judging from the name, it should be specifically for stargazing,” another student beside them suggested.
“Yeah, that’s right. The building is almost finished. Why don’t we apply to the teacher and go to the observatory tonight?”
The proposal immediately received enthusiastic responses from everyone around.
“Boss, do you want to come? I’ll save you a good spot,” Su MO said excitedly.
“No, I go to bed early at night, so I won’t come to watch, ” Lu Miao declined. She calculated in her mind that a meteorite would indeed fall in Luo City tonight. “No, I sleep early at night, so I won’t come to see you.”
Lu Miao refused. She counted on her fingers and realized that there would really be a meteorite falling in Luo City tonight.
She silently estimated the distance to the South Mountain.
Whether she could pick up a shooting star was not important. What mattered was that when the meteorite landed, Starfall Grass would start growing within a two-meter radius.
This herb grew extremely fast. Normally, it would take three to five hours to fully mature. The best medicinal effect was achieved when it was in the early stage of growth, and the longer it grew, the weaker the effect became.
Moreover, very few people were familiar with this herb, and it often got trampled and destroyed unknowingly.
If she wanted to find it, she had to do so before it was damaged by someone.
It would be best to pick it when it had fully matured.
Meanwhile, after school in the afternoon, Lu Siyu took the love gu out of her backpack and checked it before carefully placing it in her pocket.
Then, she glanced at the travel schedule of Gu Shiyan, which she had purchased from the Gu Corporation using her own money, took a deep breath, and hailed a taxi..
