Chapter 543 Wang Sanmu's Worries
With that, the matter of the Seven Stars Life Extension Formation was settled.
Wang Sanmu was responsible for introducing another master and providing guidance when performing the Seven Star Life Extension Formation.
The three of us are responsible for ensuring the safety of Gambling King Lu.
After that, we discussed some more details.
Half an hour later, we left the hospital.
We had barely settled in when we got home when we received a call from Wang Sanmu.
"Uncle Wang, what's up? Want to get together?"
After answering the call, Fatty Lin joked.
"What's the point of getting together? I'll come over to your place tonight and chat with you guys. Okay, I have something to do, I'll hang up now!" Wang Sanmu said.
"Okay, see you tonight!" Fatty Lin replied.
"It's over already?" I asked.
"Um!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "He's more worried than we are right now!"
"That's true!" I nodded.
I believe Wang Sanmu's explanation.
The last time Wang Sanmu performed the Seven Star Life-Extending Formation for Gambling King Lü, he was reluctant to do so.
Not only that, he did the same when arranging a feng shui layout for Li Yuechi to pray for a child.
The reason is simple: Wang Sanmu was afraid of getting involved in karma.
He's made a lot of money now and knows a lot of important people. He feels his status has risen, and he's different from when he was penniless. So, he's more careful about his reputation now.
But some things can't be avoided just because you don't want to do them; he has too many weaknesses.
"Let's see what kind of nonsense he can come up with tonight!" said Fatty Lin.
After saying that, he thought for a moment and said, "Madman, do you think this scheme of using a newborn as a sacrifice, devised by the Fourth Wife, will work?"
"I don't know!"
I shook my head and said, "Fourth Aunt and Zhu Minghua have gone all in. I estimate that the fetus will be removed at most in three months!"
"I think so too. The pressure from the second wife's family is too great!"
Fatty Lin let out a breath and said, "I think that this fall by Gambling King Lü has shattered all his luck in gambling, power, and family in this lifetime."
Even if the Seven Stars Life Extension succeeds this time, Gambling King Lü will never be the same as before!
"Fatty, whether he fell in the bathroom or while doing errands with that nurse Shishi, I think it's somewhat related to the life-extending schemes he's pulled before!" I said.
"That's what I think too!"
Fatty Lin tapped the table and said, "Cause and effect are the most mysterious things. Some retribution doesn't necessarily kill you; more often than not, it makes you wish you were dead!"
"Even if this life-saving scheme succeeds, Gambling King Lui will inevitably live a life of suffering for the rest of his life!"
"Furthermore, I think that the reason why Gambling King Lu got into trouble this time is that his good fortune collapsed. In addition, these three craniotomies, which seemed to save people, actually broke through his last barrier of luck."
At this point, Fatty Lin snorted and said, "You madman, just you wait and see. This sacrifice will only keep Gambling King Lu alive for five years at most. After five years, he'll have to make another sacrifice; otherwise, he won't survive!"
"I believe that!"
I nodded. This surgery saved Lu the gambling king's life, but it couldn't save his fate.
Even if the patient's life is extended, those organs that are close to failure will not recover much.
"Moreover, with each subsequent sacrifice, the requirements for the quality of the infant will become increasingly stringent. It's unlikely that we'll be able to sacrifice a three-month-old fetus like we did this time!"
"That's what Fatty Lin said next."
"Given Fourth Wife's ruthlessness, she will most likely mass-produce children!" I said.
"That's possible!" Fatty Lin thought for a moment and agreed with my statement.
Realizing this, the three of us fell silent and didn't continue the conversation.
Wang Sanmu arrived at 11 p.m.
"Uncle Wang, you said you'd come at night, I thought it would be around seven or eight o'clock. Why are you here at this hour? You're acting like an underground agent!" Fatty Lin teased Wang Sanmu as he greeted him.
"I just came from the hospital!" Wang Sanmu sighed and said, "Do you have any herbal tea? Give me a cup, I need to replenish myself!"
"What's wrong, Uncle Wang? Is it already failing you?"
I said this while making tea.
"I'm so tired!"
Wang Sanmu sighed.
"Uncle Wang, didn't you bring this on yourself?"
I handed the qi-boosting tea to Wang Sanmu and said, "If you hadn't arranged the life-extending ritual for Gambler Lü in the first place, would things have come to this?"
"Wasn't I short of money back then?" Wang Sanmu said matter-of-factly.
I was taken aback by what he said, and it took me a couple of seconds to react. I gave Wang Sanmu a thumbs up and said, "Uncle Wang, I admire your shamelessness!"
"Uncle Wang, tell us, what do you want to say to us this time?" Fatty Lin said.
"Fourth Wife has gone mad!"
Wang Sanmu uttered a shocking statement the moment he opened his mouth.
"What's wrong with you?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Do you know what Fourth Aunt said to me after you left?" Wang Sanmu asked.
"Is it related to the life-extending scheme?" Fatty Lin guessed.
"Yes, it's related to the life-extending formation!" Wang Sanmu nodded.
"What, does Fourth Aunt still want you to perform the life-extending ritual?" Fatty Lin asked.
"no!"
Wang Sanmu shook his head and said, "Fourth Aunt asked me how many years this life-extending ritual could extend my life!"
"Uncle Wang, what did you say?" I asked.
"I said it could be as short as one year or as long as five years, it's uncertain!" Wang Sanmu said.
"And then?" I asked.
"Then the fourth wife raised a question. She said that she should prepare in advance and use in vitro fertilization to find women to have a few of the gambling king's children, just in case!" Wang Sanmu said.
Upon hearing this, Fatty Lin and I exchanged a glance. We had already guessed this outcome, but we didn't expect Fourth Aunt to actually want to do it.
But thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. If the fourth wife was willing to sacrifice her own child, she would certainly do something like this.
"Uncle Wang, what did you say?" I asked.
"How should I put it?"
Wang Sanmu scoffed and said, "I advised her not to do that, but I reckon she won't listen to me. She'll only seek other methods after hitting a brick wall!"
"What does 'hitting a brick wall' mean?" I asked.
"Thirteen, don't pretend with me!"
Wang Sanmu's gaze swept over my face and Lin Pangzi's face before he said, "I don't believe you two can't see that Gambler Lü is currently shrouded in malevolent energy. Given his condition, after this life-extending ritual, he'll be burdened with even more karmic debts!"
"And then?" Fatty Lin chimed in.
"Then?"
Wang Sanmu snorted and said, "Then, with test-tube babies, nobody can tell what kind of thing they are. What if they're sacrificed and cause a backlash? Then nobody will survive!"
"So, you came here because you want us to persuade Fourth Aunt not to do this, right?" I understood why Wang Sanmu had come.
To put it bluntly, he was afraid of taking the consequences.
Fearing that the Fourth Wife would have him perform the Seven Star Life Extension Ritual again, it seems he was certain that the master he introduced wouldn't last long enough for Gambling King Lu to perform the Seven Star Life Extension Ritual again.
