Chapter 555: Gathering at Luo City

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Far away in Luo City, Lu Shu was not quite sure of what had happened over on Lu Xiaoyu’s side. It was not that he had not asked Lu Xiaoyu about this, it was just that he had never told Lu Xiaoyu about the distress points. He could not just open his mouth and ask what had happened. Lu Xiaoyu would suspect that something was wrong.

Thus, Lu Shu asked indirectly, “Xiaoyu, how are you getting along with your comrades?”

Lu Xiaoyu replied happily, “I’ve beaten them into a consensus.”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “You mean metaphorically, right?”

“Nope. I’ve beaten them into a consensus,” Lu Xiaoyu replied with confidence.

Lu Shu did not dare to ask further. As for how the students were doing, it had nothing to do with him...

Now, Lu Shu spent the day meticulously revising his content. At night, he would change his appearance and go to the black market with Li Yixiao.

The representatives of each family had arrived. At this age, transport was very convenient, thus, they only took a few hours before they reached Luo City.

Some felt that this was not good. They yearned for the past, where cars, horses, and mail were all slow. It was as if they could only love one person throughout their entire life.

But Lu Shu felt that people did not cease to be loyal because of this. Were there so few people in history who were fickle and heartless? Not at all.

Even if the cars, horses and mail were all slow, there would be times when people ceased to be faithful even before mailing out their letter.

After the families reached Luo City, they did not rush to interact with Li Yixiao. Before they had left home, they were all rather panicky. But after reaching Luo City, they realized that there was no need to do so. In reality, they were all afraid that Li Yixiao would demand an exorbitant price. Li Yixiao would also have to talk to all the families before making his decision, right? Thus, they were waiting for Li Yixiao.

The bell rang, signaling the end of school. Lu Shu calmly walked out. It was as if the moment the school bell rang, normal life and the Practitioner’s life were split apart.

A few boys who were in their sophomore year did not plan to study hard. After school ended, they either ran to the internet cafe or the field.

A student passionately engaged in a discussion as he walked out of school. “Did you guys hear? Luo City is now very lively. Many Practitioners and big families have come here.”

“I’ve heard. There have even been discussions on the Golden Foundation forum. It seems like all of them came here for something. But no one has specified what exactly they are here for.”

“It would be great if I could awaken too. Who is the one who organized this large occasion?!”

As the two students chatted happily, they suddenly looked up and saw Lu Shu in front of them. They hurriedly stopped talking and walked past Lu Shu. After they had created some distance between them, they once again restarted their discussion. They did not know that what they were talking about was because of this very student that they disliked.

Lu Shu turned back and looked at the school building against the dusk sky. He then turned his body and walked towards the black market.

He suddenly thought of one problem. He had returned from the Collection of Gods in the middle of January. Chinese New Year was coming, yet Lu Xiaoyu was to be at training for three months. Did this mean that he had to celebrate the New Year alone?

As he thought about this, he reached the entrance of the black market. The iron gate had specks of rust.

Lu Shu knocked on the gate. A new face opened the small window above the door. When he saw Lu Shu, his eyes lit up and smiled obsequiously. “The Venerable! You’re here!”

Lu Shu was still using Gao Shenyin’s face. His nickname was still Kasyapa. Now there were two important figures within the black market, one was called the Lord, while the other was called Kasyapa. The two names sounded quite natural next to each other.

Wang Zhe had disappeared. This low level secret practitioner had taken advantage of the chaos to steal one of Lu Shu’s magical stones and make a run for it. This was not new. Lu Shu felt it was best that Wang Zhe did not appear in front of his eyes again...

To Lu Shu, stealing one of his magical stones and running away was equivalent to asking for murder! Not even one magical stone could be stolen!

Lu Shu walked along the bomb shelter and then entered it. The secret practitioners on the street greeted him very politely. One middle-aged, big-sized man saw Lu Shu enter and his face lit up in pleasure. “The Venerable, I have some good alcohol here. How about a taste?’

Lu Shu laughed and tactfully rejected him. “No thanks. How good can your alcohol be?”

“From Zhang Tiangou’s distress, +199...”

After Lu Shu walked away, a group of old men sighed in annoyance. “The Venerable is so harsh when he rejects others...”

But they rather liked dealing with Lu Shu. Lu Shu was just too kind.

This made Lu Shu’s classmates rather unhappy. But these old secret practitioners were comparing Lu Shu to the people they had met in the past. Those people were thick-skinned and ruthless. One wrong word and they were as good as dead.

But Lu Shu gave off a different feeling. They felt that as long as they paid their processing fees, Lu Shu would not make things difficult for them. Everyone knew that Lu Shu was the sword expert from that night. He had displayed his frightening destructive power that night. He was not someone that these secret practitioners could go against.

But they did not know that Lu Shu’s true identity was that of a Captain in the Heavenly Network. They similarly did not know that Lu Shu was able to come to an agreement with their Lord.

The secret practitioners had also heard the rumors. According to the rumors, the big families had come to Luo City to make a deal with the Lord.

Two may keep counsel putting one away. Lu Shu thought that since the secret practitioners all knew about this, then on Nie Ting’s side... they had no choice but to carry on. Withdrawing was not an option. He could only silently wish Li Yixiao all the best.

Once the secret practitioners knew that the big families were coming, they immediately called their companions over. In the eyes of the secret practitioners, these families were all rich. They did their business precisely because they wanted to change their lives and have a better future. This time, secret practitioners from all over the country were gathering in Luo City.

If he had not seen it for himself, Lu Shu would find it hard to believe that there were so many practitioners who had fallen through the cracks across the country. Many people did not inherit their abilities. A large majority had embarked on this path because they had suddenly undergone an awakening. This was similar to what was happening overseas.

Some female secret practitioners saw that Lu Shu was young, strong and rather good-looking. They wanted to hook up with him. If they could do so, they would no longer have to rush about with these old men.

But Lu Shu did not fall for them. This made the girls disinterested. From their point of view, there must be a lot of girls outside who liked him. He was rich, strong, and most importantly, young...

Lu Shu walked all the way in to Li Yixiao’s office. Before he had even reached the entrance, he could hear Nalan Que angrily shouting at him. “Look at all these trivial things you have done!”

Li Yixiao unhappily said, “Can you think about my good points as well?!”

Nalan Que fell silent for two seconds. “Look at all these good things you have done!”

Li Yixiao was speechless.
