Chapter 536: Lu Shu’s withdrawal from his plan

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

A group of villagers wanted to get the support of Xi Fei. They did not quite understand the rest, but since Xi Fei was in charge of Luo City under the Heavenly Network, then Xi Fei should be of higher position than Lu Shu.

But within the Heavenly Network, they were not so particular about regulations like salutations, unlike the Collection of Gods who were strict about rank. But everyone clearly knew the necessary senior and junior system.

Hence, the first thing Xi Fei did when he arrived was to salute Lu Shu and exchange greetings. The two of them acted as if no one else was present.

Although the villagers did not hear the positions they called each other, but it was evident that Xi Fei and his colleagues were very polite towards Lu Shu. They were not stupid. They knew that Lu Shu was of higher position than Xi Fei!

Upon seeing this, Liu Pengsheng planned to make a run for it. In the end, he did not even get the chance to turn before Lu Shu laughed coldly at him. “What’s wrong? Did you think you could steal my Chinese chives just because you assumed I was dead? I’m not done here.”

Xi Fei seemed as if he was not listening at all.

This was someone Zhong Yutang did not want to provoke. They were the ones who created trouble for themselves. They also felt that it was good to have someone like Lu Shu to deliberately embarrass them. When they encountered such situations, they typically submitted to humiliation. They could not hit or scold people, even if they wanted to. If their way of handling the matter was even slightly inappropriate, they could be scolded by Zhong Yutang.

Zhong Yutang was also not someone who confused right and wrong. He knew that there was generally no problem when Xi Fei and his colleagues settled matters, but he had no choice in this position.

Xi Fei and his colleagues could also understand. Zhong Yutang handled affairs in Yuzhou. There were times that he had no choice but to handle problems in an extremely official way. It was no big deal if Zhong Yutang occasionally scolded them.

But Lu Shu was even more impressive. Zhong Yutang did not dare to scold him… more accurately, Zhong Yutang felt that it was good enough for Lu Shu to stop calling him actively. He would not call Lu Shu for no reason.

When Liu Penghsheng heard how Lu Shu dared to say such a thing in public, he was slightly humbled. Lu Shu had also underestimated the villagers’ rudeness. In the beginning when the Liu village and the Wang village were fighting over water sources, the local police did not pay attention to a mob fight involving over three hundred people. Even firing a warning shot did nothing to stop them!

But Liu Pengsheng swayed from side to side. He knew that Lu Shu was probably not someone who followed the rules. Thus he thought long and hard about how he could continue to protect the strawberries left in his house.

Xi Fei laughed at Lu Shu. “It’s good that nothing had happened to you. Later when you report to the Security Team, I’ll treat you to a welcome dinner.”

“Okay.” Lu Shu happily agreed. Before they left, he gave each of them a basket of strawberries. “These were grown at my home. Everyone, take some and give your brothers a try.”

The surrounding villagers’ hearts were practically breeding. All your home had were Chinese chives! Do you know what you’re talking about?!

“From Liu Pengsheng’s distress, +666!”

“From…”

…

Now, at the Liuhai Lane, in the Capital, Nie Ting sat on top of a rock in the courtyard, flipping through the document in his hands. The information reported in this document was all related to Lu Shu’s near future.

Shi Xuejin held a bowl of millet gruel in his hands and stood beside Nie Ting. He laughed. “The Deities say that they want to form an alliance. They have been asking everyday when the person in charge of overseas relations would come to have a talk. If we don’t send anyone there, they will come over to discuss the alliance with us themselves.”

Nie Ting rubbed his temple and said, “After Lu Shu went back, he did not call Zhong Yutang even once. It seems like he has given up on his hope of entering the Cultivation College. Now he is starting to cultivate land in peace!”

“Cultivate land?” Shi Xuejin laughed. “I’d like to go back to my hometown and do the same, if I didn’t have so many things on my hands. But is he able to cultivate crops with that practical attitude of his?”

“The Seal of Lands is in his hands. It’s up to him whether he wants to plant anything. He can even grow gold if he wanted to, I’m not exaggerating.” Nie Ting’s face was gloomy. He said, “Last night, the Spirit Qi produced at Liu Li’s Daoyuan Class became weird. Even the plants nearby have produced oddities that collapsed the villa. The exact same thing happened in Jiang Shuyi’s training residence. Lu Shu was definitely the one who did it. I’m guessing that Lu Shu helped Liu Li improve the practice environment. There is no doubt that the Seal of Lands is in his hands.”

“Indeed, the Security Team brings in no profit. Anyway, they do not care about these kinds of matters. They only help to vanquish demons and monsters. But if you’re thinking of helping him get more profit through more overseas projects, I’m afraid that it will break the bank,” Shi Xuejin said, taking pleasure in the misfortune.

“Recently, the situation overseas has become more and more unstable. The Puppet Master’s shadow is everywhere. The Blood Devil also seems to be rapidly regaining its strength.” Nie Ting furrowed his eyebrows. “The Heavenly Network desperately needs someone in charge of overseas relations. I want to see how long he will be able keep it up for.”

“Don’t be so determined to win.” Shi Xuejin finished the millet gruel in one gulp. “I don’t dare to speak for others, but when it comes to Lu Shu, I feel that things will only go more and more out of plan…”

Nie Ting suddenly raised his eyebrows with a peaceful expression. He also felt that he was gradually losing control. Nothing that Lu Shu had done in the past two days were normal!

He could not help but ponder whether it was appropriate for Lu Shu to be in the Security Team…

…

That night, Lu Shu once again brought Lu Xiaoyu and Little Fury out to take action. Before they had left, Lu Shu even praised Little Fury for its good work, as the family Little Fury had provoked provided the greatest amount of distress points…

He could not go so far as to kill these people. But Lu Shu felt that since he had already planned to build an alternate base here, then he would let them understand the price they would have to pay for their mischief.

Lu Shu may not be skilled in other areas, but in this aspect he was like an ancestor!

Lu Shu strutted forward. Tonight the villagers had learned their lesson. They simply lived in their fields and looked after the strawberries. But as Little Fury passed by, the villagers, who had been protecting their greenhouses and were ready to catch the thief, lay down and fell asleep one by one.

In this day and age, how could an ordinary person resist the ability of a Practitioner?

Lu Shu’s first stop was Liu Pengsheng’s greenhouse. When they approached the greenhouse, they were dumbfounded by the sign that had just been erected. The words on the sign were slanted. “In this greenhouse, there is one poisoned strawberry.”

Ha ha. Lu Shu was angry, but he could not stop himself from laughing. He would not take strawberries from this family. He added a line of words under the sign. “Now there are two.”

The next day, when Liu Pengsheng woke up and saw the words on the sign, he almost fainted with a belch. This thief really had no morals! He had never seen a thief with such an easy conscience!

“From Liu Pengsheng’s distress, +999!”
