Chapter 582: Too Early to be Happy

Lu Shu saw that Shi Xuejin and Nie Ting did not believe him. Oh well. He used the Cheng Ying sword to pierce his finger and summoned Hai Gongzi. It seemed like this wound on his finger would never fully heal…

Hai Gongzi saw Nie Ting and laughed. “I did not expect that you would grow up so quickly. Very good. But I cannot understand why the Cheng Ying sword would be in the hands of this young boy. Young people now are so superficial! Back in the day…”

Before Hai Gongzi could finish speaking, Lu Shu recalled him into the Cheng Ying sword. “What are you acting for? Back in the day? Don’t play around with me.”

Nie Ting was silent.

Shi Xuejin was speechless.

“From Ao Hai’s distress, +999!”

“From Nie Ting’s distress…”

“From Shi Xuejin’s…”

Nie Ting calmly said, “I think I know why you were beat up by Hai Gongzi.”

Lu Shu was suddenly somewhat curious. “Can you defeat Hai Gongzi?”

Nie Ting was silent. “I don’t know.”

“That can’t be right. I have a feeling that you had been beaten up by him when you were young. Am I right?” Lu Shu felt that he was one step closer to the truth.

“Hurry up and pass the admission letter to Zhong Yutang.” Nie Ting turned and left. “I am going to Liujing Lane. I will have my dinner at the canteen.”

“Okay,” Shi Xuejin smiled in agreement. He sat back on his sling chair and started to read. The two of them acted as if Lu Shu did not exist. This meant that they were preparing to send him off.

Lu Shu glanced at Shi Xuejin. “I heard that you are determined to be well-versed in the three teachings. But with so many books and so many teachings, can you, an ordinary person, possibly finish reading everything?”

Shi Xuejin leisurely smiled. “The truth has no limits, but there is no need to be afraid. There is also joy in every step of learning.”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. “That is very meaningful. You are a wise man.”

“I didn’t come up with that.” Shi Xuejin lay on the sling chair. In a blink of an eye, he was fully immersed in his book.

Lu Shu took a train to Yuzhou. The first thing he did was to find Zhong Yutang.

The Heavenly Network Yuzhou Headquarters was at the provincial capital. Before the new year, the country’s biggest black market had been established in Luo City. Furthermore the Luo Shen College, one of the seven major Cultivation Colleges, was there. Thus, Zhong Yutang had requested to move the headquarters above the Luo Shen Cultivation College.

Luo City had always been one of the places with the highest concentrations of magical energy. To the Heavenly Network, it was also relatively important. Back then, Li Yixiao had been chosen to take control of Luo City precisely because of its importance. Furthermore, Shi Xuejin had correctly guessed that there was more than just one relic in Luo City.

The relic on Beimang mountain had appeared. But there was still magical energy contained in the extreme depths of Longmen mountain.

If the Seal of Lands had not been taken, Shi Xuejin and Nie Ting would have probably deployed people to find a way to open the relics.

Now, they knew that the Seal of Lands was in Lu Shu’s hands, they did not say a single word about it. They were very worried that Lu Shu would come up with some mischief and abandon the relics…

Lu Shu came to the Luo Shen Cultivation College. He was quite familiar with this place. Many of the students had never come here before, but Lu Shu often passed by the college.

Whenever Li Yixiao wanted to convince him to go overseas with him, he would invite him for a meal. Out of the five times Lu Shu had come, he had accidentally helped Nalan Que find Li Yixiao’s private savings three times. Thus, Nalan Que warmly welcomed Lu Shu. She treated Lu Shu like a close friend…

Lu Shu stood at the office building of the Luo Shen Cultivation College and hesitated. He had not come in from the main gate. Instead, he had quietly climbed over the wall behind the building. After he had reached Zhong Yutang’s office, he carefully peeked through the window.

He placed one hand on the windowsill and used his other hand to fish out his phone from his pocket. He gave Zhong Yutang a call. “Sorry, the number you are dialing is unavailable. Please try again later…”

Lu Shu looked inside the office. Zhong Yutang was arranging his documents. His phone, which was by his side, was ringing. Evidently, Lu Shu’s call had gone through.

Ha ha, be that way. Lu Shu laughed coldly.

Zhong Yutang was still unaware of the situation. He picked up his phone and saw that Lu Shu was calling him. He smiled and prepared to place his phone on the table.

At that moment, Zhong Yutang suddenly felt that something was wrong. He turned to look at the window. To his surprise, he saw Lu Shu laughing coldly at him. What?!

Zhong Yutang almost threw his phone at Lu Shu. “Why are you here!”

“From Zhong Yutang’s distress, +666!”

Lu Shu pushed open the window and jumped in. “Ha ha, your ringtone is not bad!”

“What? I don’t understand what you’re saying?” Zhong Yutang looked outside the window.

Lu Shu did not pester Zhong Yutang any further. He slammed the admission letter from Nie Ting on Zhong Yutang’s table. “Do what you have to do.”

When Zhong Yutang saw this piece of paper, for some reason, he felt happy. It was as if he had been relieved of a heavy load.

Ordinary students, and even ordinary members of the Heavenly Network, did not know Lu Shu’s current identity. But Zhong Yutang was very clear. The dispute between Lu Shu and Nie Ting was on another level. He did not dare to provoke any of them.

“Ha ha, I’ll settle this for you.” Zhong Yutang felt as if a ray of light had broken through the stormy clouds. “Tomorrow, I will assign a reserved car to bring you to the military camp for training. How about it?”

Lu Shu calmly looked at Zhong Yutang. “I am not participating in the military training. Didn’t I tell Xi Fei? I have participated in the training before.”

“Even the Class A aptitude geniuses went for military training after completing their tasks.” Zhong Yutang was dumbfounded. He said, “They have participated in the training as well. You still have to go a second time.”

“They are them and I am me,” said Lu Shu calmly. He had gone to dangerous places like the Koh Chang Island remains and the Collection of Gods. To speak the truth, the military training had no substantial content for him. As for basic training for military strategies, Lu Shu felt that his strategy was to go with the flow. Other strategies did not work for him.

It seemed like that always happened. All his carefully prepared plans would fall apart or be destroyed by others. But if he went with the flow, it always worked with extraordinary efficacy.

“That will not do. This military training will be recorded as part of your assessment.” Zhong Yutang panicked. “In the future, there will be a competition among the seven major Cultivation Colleges. You won’t be able to participate without that record.”

Zhong Yutang was the principal of the Luo Shen Cultivation College. Nie Ting did not let Li Yixiao be the principal. Furthermore, it seemed like there was a competition among the seven major Cultivation Colleges. Of course, Zhong Yutang was happy to have strong students like Lu Shu in his school. How many students in the country could defeat Lu Shu? But here was Lu Shu, why was he not following the script from the very beginning?

Lu Shu turned and left. “Forget about it. I won’t participate.”

“From Zhong Yutang’s distress, +666!”

He suddenly realized one problem. Although he was no longer in the middle of the conflict between Lu Shu and Nie Ting, but in the future, he would have to deal with Lu Shu. He was not easy to deal with. Was it too early for him to be happy?!
