In ancient times, A Dou tricked Liu Bei; today, Zhou Nian tricks her own dad!

Zhou Nian's actions almost made Crazy Zhou curse, pushing him close to the verge of a beating.

He slammed the cup down on the table, then suddenly grimaced, gently stroking the table, and muttered, "Oh my, my mahogany table."

Some capricious people like to smash expensive things when they're angry, but those who are penny-pinchers feel a pang while doing it. That's exactly the kind of person Crazy Zhou is!

Liu Zixuan watched the scene unfold and laughed heartily from his chair!

But just as he was about to laugh till he was gasping for air, Crazy Zhou suddenly pulled him up and walked directly outside.

"Hey, hey, hey, Crazy Zhou, what are you doing! It's pouring rain out there!" Liu Zixuan hurriedly asked.

Crazy Zhou furiously said, "If you want to find the Seven-Star Tomb, just shut up!"

Liu Zixuan immediately kept quiet. Compared to merely watching the fuss, he would rather choose the Seven-Star Tomb!

The two of them braved the heavy rain and got into Liu Zixuan's car. Crazy Zhou yelled, "Drive!"

"Where to?"

"Just keep heading west. I'll tell you when to turn, when to stop!" It really seemed like the earlier events had made Crazy Zhou angry!

No wonder, having such an unruly father and a weirdo daughter, it's surprising he's not mad!

Liu Zixuan didn't hesitate, started the car, and headed west. They took two turns, finally stopping at a very secluded spot.

Liu Zixuan looked around; it seemed like farmland on the outskirts of the city because there were patches of corn on the left side, and on the right was a huge mound next to a large deep ditch, like a water channel!

Crazy Zhou got out of the car, and within moments the rain had soaked his hair and coat. Pointing at the deep ditch ahead, he said, "Find some tools and divert all the surrounding water into that ditch!"

Liu Zixuan was dumbfounded, "You must be joking? I'm here to find the Seven-Star Tomb, and you want me to divert water into a ditch? What's next? Do I have to do hard labor before searching?"

"You think I have nothing better to do than make you do pointless hard labor?" Crazy Zhou said gruffly.

Liu Zixuan smirked, "What if your cornfield is nearby, and you don't want to pay for irrigation, so you have me help divert the water to water your corn!"

"Do I look like someone who's too cheap to pay for water?" Crazy Zhou was displeased, thinking Liu Zixuan was hinting he was stingy!

Liu Zixuan shrugged, "Honestly, you do seem that type!"

Infuriated, Crazy Zhou shouted, "Just say whether you'll do it or not. If not, we'll head back. I'm only helping you find the Seven-Star Tomb for my daughter's sake, and her kid's!"

Liu Zixuan scratched his head; "Does this ditch have something to do with the Seven-Star Tomb?"

"You think I'm really crazy, dragging you out here in a downpour to take a free shower?"

Liu Zixuan was puzzled, "But why choose this weather to come here?"

In such heavy rain, with the ground all muddy, even if digging to enter a tomb, it shouldn't be done now!

Crazy Zhou smiled mysteriously, "Kid, there's too much you don't understand. The wisdom of the ancients surpasses modern people greatly, and the things they created are ingeniously complex, sometimes beyond scientific explanation. This Seven-Star Tomb can only be found and entered during a heavy downpour!"

"You should've told me earlier, so I could bring some tools. Now, the only thing in the trunk is a small bucket, with not even a raincoat!" Liu Zixuan groaned.

"Then you can wait for the next downpour. According to the weather forecast I checked today, the next rain might be in half a month. If we're unlucky, there might not be another rainy day this summer! So, wait until next year then, I'm not in a hurry anyway!" Crazy Zhou spread his arms and sat back in the car, casually picking up a cigarette to smoke.

Seeing this, Liu Zixuan twitched the corners of his mouth, damn it, seems like I've really invited a lord here!

But so what!

For the Seven-Star Tomb, for the sake of a beautiful mentor, I have no choice but to do hard labor in the rain!

Liu Zixuan was quite helpless. At this time, he should be at a comfy hotel with Meng Yu, but here he was, in a deserted place, doing hard labor in the downpour!

He took out a bucket from the trunk and began diverting the surrounding rainwater into the deep ditch.

After about twenty minutes, Liu Zixuan was completely drenched. At first, he felt uncomfortable, but soon became oblivious to it all.

At this point, the water in the deep ditch was about one and a half meters high. Crazy Zhou got out of the car and waved at Liu Zixuan, "Alright, this water level should be enough!"

Liu Zixuan sighed with relief, "You were cozy in the car, huh?"

"Of course. You don't even know who I am!" Crazy Zhou boasted sarcastically, then looked seriously at Liu Zixuan, "You're about to witness a moment of miracle, but let's get one thing straight first!"

"Hmm?" Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow.

"You previously said that you'd only take one or two treasures from inside, the rest belongs to me!" Crazy Zhou held up his index finger.

Liu Zixuan frowned, "You just said earlier, once I marry your daughter, all your treasures would be mine. Why are you still bargaining?"

"Business is business!" Crazy Zhou stubbornly shook his head.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. Anything else?" Liu Zixuan said dismissively.

"Secondly, among the older generation in our field, the Seven-Star Tomb is considered the Ghost Gate. Aside from terrifying traps, there are rumored to be entities beyond human imagination in there. I will evaluate the situation; if there's danger, you have to protect me, if not, you may die, but first get me out safely!" Crazy Zhou said sternly.

Greedy and also cowardly! A typical merchant's mentality!

Liu Zixuan laughed, "Ghost Gate? Don't worry, they call me the Living Yama, even the Yama Hall doesn't scare me, why would I be afraid of a little Ghost Gate?"

"Stop bragging! I'm not joking with you." Crazy Zhou whispered, "I've been eyeing this tomb for over a decade, but haven't retrieved the treasures inside due to family rules forbidding easy entry, else death is certain!"

"Then why suddenly decide to take me in?" Liu Zixuan asked puzzled, "Logically, if you see me as your future son-in-law, you'd want to protect my little life even more. What about your daughter then?"

Crazy Zhou showed a sly smile and said, "Today I asked around about you. You've faced Witch Country ninjas and that so-called ghost doctor magician without fear, I figured you should be strong enough to handle the Seven-Star Tomb!"
