Chapter 585 - Li Shentans gift of gold (1/2)

In the town square, Ren Xiaosu wanted to leave immediately at first. However, the magician’s words made him stop in his tracks. He turned around and saw Li Shentan standing in the crowd with a card deck in his hand. He had suddenly stopped his performance he was putting on.

The crowd around Li Shentan looked at Ren Xiaosu. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu casually pulled his hood up so fewer people would remember his appearance.

When Li Shentan saw Ren Xiaosu stop in his tracks, he smiled. “Hang around for a bit and let me finish showing off my magic.”

With that, the crowd turned back to look at Li Shentan. They saw the playing cards in Li Shentan’s right hand suddenly surge into the sky like a water fountain. Although he only had one deck in hand, the cards hovering above everyone’s heads and spinning around in the air enshrouded everyone underneath it.

Slowly, the cards converged like a whirlwind and headed towards Li Shentan.

The crowd let out a cry of surprise. They could no longer tell whether this was a magic trick or a magic spell, nor could they figure out what was causing the cards to spin around like that.

The dazzling whirlwind of cards finally enveloped Li Shentan, and the onlookers could no longer see his figure. All they could see were the cards spinning around rapidly.

Li Shentan, surrounded by countless cards, said with a smile, “Three… two… one!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the whirlwind of cards dropped to the ground. And Li Shentan was nowhere to be seen!

The crowd immediately cheered. They had never seen such amazing magic in their lives before.

Furthermore, everyone witnessed the magician disappearing into thin air despite being in such close proximity!

A girl screamed, “Cool, that was so damn cool! I’ve fallen in love with that magician! This must be real magic, right!”

Li Shentan had been performing magic in Luoyang City for quite some time now. Due to his amazing magic tricks and handsome appearance, many girls had become his fans. Even before night fell, a lot of people would already be waiting in the town square for his performance to start.

Meanwhile, Li Shentan never disappointed his audience either. His magic tricks were never repeated, and the audience could not even tell how he pulled them off.

Ren Xiaosu frowned. Even he was unable to tell how Li Shentan did that.

At this moment, Li Shentan’s laughter pealed from behind him. “How did you like my trick?”

Ren Xiaosu turned around and asked Li Shentan, “How did you do that?”

“It was just misdirection,” Li Shentan said with a humble smile.

But Ren Xiaosu knew it was definitely not as simple as misdirection. He just did not understand why Li Shentan would appear in this place. Moreover, he was clearly a legendary supernatural being, yet he liked doing street magic so much.

Li Shentan glanced at Zhou Yingxue, who was standing next to Ren Xiaosu. However, he did not ask Ren Xiaosu anything. Instead, he seemed to have thought of something and said, “Oh yeah, come with me. I have something I want to give you.”

Then Li Shentan led the way to a small park next to the square. It was where many of the stronghold residents strolled.

Li Shentan was walking at the front and did not seem worried that Ren Xiaosu would just leave.

When they got to a place where there was no one around, Li Shentan took out a black cloth and threw it onto the grass. This action took Ren Xiaosu by surprise. What was Li Shentan up to?

Li Shentan looked at Ren Xiaosu and said with a smile, “Let me show you a trick.”
