Chapter 530: Reunion With Liu Li!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

For people like Liu Xiu, their existence were like beacons of light in the darkness. We walked in the darkness, surrounded by apathy and coldness, and we needed not be told how much more cheating, deception and ugliness lay ahead of us. What we needed was a reminder that we could become a more beautiful and positive version of ourselves.

Lu Shu stood in silence in the last row of the crowd. Hao Zhichao told him that Liu Xiu’s standing posture in his death would be crafted into a bronze statue to be erected in Lingjing Lane and an account of Liu Xiu’s life would be carved on the base of the statue.

The Heavenly Network did not mind the world knowing that they killed Takashima Tairatsu. On the base, it was clearly written that Liu Xiu perished when he assisted his comrade in slaying Takashima.

However, no one could deduce the true identity of the so-called “his comrade”.

Lu Shu brought Lu Xiaoyu forward to pay their last tribute to Liu Xiu. Lu Xiaoyu made a deep, sincere bow to Liu Xiu’s coffin and said softly, “Thank you for saving Lu Shu.”

Unfortunately, though, she could not sense Liu Xiu’s spirit from within the coffin. It was also Lu Shu’s reason for bringing her to the site, to test his hypothesis on his ability to revive the dead after the completion of his collection of the seven swords.

Although it was only a guess, he had to make some effort in proving it nonetheless.

Lu Xiaoyu shook her head at Lu Shu, whose expressions darkened slightly. Maybe it was better this way, because Liu Xiu’s spirit could well be lost if Lu Shu’s spirit reconstruction failed. He certainly did not want to take the risk before he was sure of what he was doing.

Many people were pleasantly surprised to see Lu Shu again. They had just sent a comrade away, and here returned another comrade.

In fact, although they grieved during the funeral, they were not weak. It would be fine to carry on from where Liu Xiu had left off.

Thus, Lu Shu made a brief explanation about his mission to obtain deep sea white sand by fraud. He did not go into details, though, because it was nothing glorious to get rewards through fraudulent means…

But, he had never expected people’s response. “Good job! You did the right thing! You took their stuff and took revenge. That’s good enough! Most importantly, you are safe!”

Lu Shu was speechless for a long while. They were model soldiers trained by Nie Ting, what could he expect…

But at this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Li!

Lu Shu took a long moment to recover from his shock. He pointed at Liu Li and asked You Mingyu, “Why is he here?”

You Mingyu asked in reply, curious, “Why, do you know him?”

“Nonsense. He’s my Daoyuan classmate!” Lu Shu said, slightly annoyed.

“I see. He’s Liu Xiu’s cousin. Heavenly King Nie asked him to attend the memorial,” You Mingyu explained, “When he was young, he was pretty close with Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu left when he was about six. It’s said that Liu Xiu used to bring him around while letting him ride on his shoulders. Thus, Liu Xiu had been Liu Li’s role model since the kid was young, and then he became an undercover agent in Japan, which made Liu Li even more proud of his country. Of course, he only knew his cousin was working for our country, but had not the slightest idea of his exact assignment or whereabouts.”

Lu Shu was shocked. He had certainly not expected the relationship between Liu Xiu and Liu Li!

Now, his conscience was guilt-stricken, recounting on what a pain in the ass he had been to Liu Li.

“Wait for me for a second, Xiaoyu,” Lu Shu said and walked towards Liu Li, who was startled too upon seeing him approaching!

“From Liu Li’s distress, +999!”

“You… you are still alive!” Liu Li exclaimed, as if he had met a ghost.

Lu Shu was a tad awkward. Honestly speaking, he really did not want to upset Liu Li in this situation, though he had not been nice to him in the past. Hence, Lu Shu could only comfort himself by thinking that it was perfectly normal for one to be distressed upon meeting someone presumed to be dead…

It was an impulsive decision to approach Liu Li, and now, Lu Shu was suddenly at a loss of words. In order to break the awkward silence, Lu Shu apologized, “I am truly very sorry for what I did in the past. From now onwards, we are classmates and comrades-in-arms. So we must love and care for each other…”

Staring into Lu Shu’s genuine expression, Liu Li did not know how to respond!

“From Liu Li’s distress, +999!”

He had been planning to avenge Lu Shu ever since he found out about his death. In spite of the many unhappy memories between them, Liu Li had to admit that Lu Shu was kind at heart.

But now, he was pretty shocked by Lu Shu’s behavior. What are you doing? So earnestly repenting for your past misdeeds? Please be normal, brother…

You Mingyu and Hao Zhichao were shocked too. Had that annoying kiddo suddenly undergone a change in temperament?! Indeed, Lu Shu’s irritating personality had left too deep an impression on all members of the Heavenly Network.

Liu Li took a long while to reply, “Since you are still alive… why were you absent form the admission test of Luo Shen College? It’s over now.”

Lu Shu continued, as if he did not hear him talking. “… From today onwards, your trouble is my trouble too. Tell me if you get bullied or if you need money… Forget it. You are rich enough… Wait. WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!”

He had missed the admission test of Luo Shen College?! He must have been tricked!

Lu Shu’s expression darkened at once. He immediately left and walked towards Zhong Yutang. “I suppose I am eligible for a makeup admission test for Luo Shen Cultivation College, right?”

But Zhong Yutang ignored him and waved at You Mingyu. “You Mingyu, come here. I want to have a word with you!”

Before he could walk away, Lu Shu pulled him back forcefully. Based on his strength, Zhong Yutang’s clothes would have been torn apart had he not stopped shortly…

“From Zhong Yutang’s distress, +374…”

“Listen to me, Lu Shu. The admission test for Luo Shen Cultivation College is the same as High School Leaving Examinations. It’s a national paper and no makeup assessment is allowed…” Zhong Yutang smiled, though his expression was kind of stiff. As the person in charge of Lu Shu’s undercover mission, he had good knowledge of Lu Shu’s actions in the Collection of Gods. The kid could even take down a bloody pseudo-Class A, so how was he, Zhong Yutang, a rival to him?!

But he had no choice too. During this period of time, he had turned down countless people in power. There was no way to open the back door for Lu Shu!

Furthermore, Zhong Yutang was in no position to decide whether to open the back door. After some consideration, he said, “Little Shu, it’s not a serious problem. Really. You can simply talk to Heavenly King Nie or Heavenly King Shi. There’s no use to finding me…”

Lu Shu gave a cold laugh. “Ha.”

“From Zhong Yutang’s distress, +666!”

“Let me go first…”

“Ha.”

“Are you not going to let me go…”

“Ha.”

“From Zhong Yutang’s distress, +999!”
