“Enough.” Gu Lingfei broke Lu Shu off. If she did not break him off, she was really worried that the candidates of the Sword Hut selections would start singing and dancing under Lu Shu’s commands…

Lu Shu stood quietly and shrugged, as though he was saying “what do you want me to say”.

Initially, Lu Shu wanted to remember the names of those in the Sword Hut directly. However, he did not expect there to be so many people who provided him with distress points, to the point where he could not recognize them. Even the public who were standing outside the fences began to provide him with distress points.

Too much distress points was burdensome too…

Gu Lingfei said coldly as she sat on the head of the black leopard, “Pray for blessings.”

At this moment when the disciples of the Sword Hut stood evenly on both sides of the two statues, Lu Shu realized that there was a table behind the statue. Then, Gu Lingfei knelt below the female statue and said, “Dear teacher, please give your blessings for the Sword Hut’s swordplay!”

Then, Gu Lingfei knelt down in front of the male statue and said, “King of G.o.ds, please bless our people’s safety.”

Lu Shu was surprised. So that was the old King of G.o.ds and the owner of the Sword Hut. Wasn’t the owner of the Sword Hut still alive, why did they turn the two into G.o.ds and wors.h.i.+p them?!

He peered at the expressions on the faces of the people nearby. Everyone seemed to be used to it. n.o.body felt that the blessing ceremony was inappropriate.

Lu Shu looked at the two statues again. However, he did not know who carved this statue. He only felt that there was a spiritual presence in the statue. By right, it was difficult for the statue to show its original owner’s appearance and the aura was the main thing people looked out for.

As a woman, the owner of the Sword Hut exuded immense charisma and she looked somewhat angry. Lu Shu suddenly recalled what the other party said, “I only need 30 percent of the scenery.”

She claimed that she needed 30 percent and really took only 30 percent.

As a female, what sort of broad aspiration was that?

Meanwhile, Lu Shu was carefully examining the other party’s appearance by looking at the statue of the old King of G.o.ds. However, he felt that the aura was so complicated that it was difficult to be described. It felt as though the other party had a strange boost of energy. Lu Shu was very surprised. As the leader of the world, shouldn’t he exude an arrogant aura?

At this moment, the disciples of the Sword Hut went forward to wors.h.i.+p him, followed by the candidates. When it was the candidates’ turn, Yu Wentao said, “I pray for the owner of the Sword Hut to ensure my successful entrance to the Sword Hut. I, Yu Wentao, am willing to protect everyone in the Sword Hut…”

Then, Lu Shu realized that the number of people ahead of him started to decrease. Before he knew it, it was his turn…

Lu Shu thought about it for a long while before he walked over to the statue of the old King of G.o.ds, knelt down and said peacefully, “King of G.o.ds, I wish for your good health and wealth…”

At this moment, everything around him became silent. It felt as though Lu Shu was holding onto a switch. When he pressed it, the world was muted…

However, what made it difficult for everyone to accept and understand was… Why did the switch appear in Lu Shu’s hands…

The onlookers looked sheepishly at Lu Shu. Gu Lingfei, as well as the candidates beside them, also looked sheepishly at Lu Shu.

All these years, after the blessing ceremony by the candidates, the public ought to kneel down and automatically make their prayers.

However, all this while, everyone was praying for the King of G.o.ds and the owner of the Sword Hut’s blessings. This was the first time they had seen someone make their prayers for the King of G.o.ds… How crazy!

“From Gu Lingfei’s distress, +666!”

“From Yu Wentao…”

“From…”

Lu Shu stood up and said as he looked at their suspicious gazes, “Don’t all of you think that you guys are being unloyal to the King of G.o.ds and the owner of the Sword Hut? Why did they protect all of you, if you respect them, you should wish them to live a good life, perhaps they are living a happy life in the Heavenly Country. When you guys make prayers, they have to return from the Heavenly Country to look after you guys, does this even make sense… Is this how you guys treat people whom you respect?”

“From Gu Lingfei’s distress, +666!”

“From…”

This sentence made Gu Lingfei and the rest speechless. Gu Lingfei held it in for a long time. “Scram!”

Lu Shu moved to the side obediently. As someone who just arrived, he should not make himself so eye-catching…

Then, the situation turned awkward. Gu Lingfei forgot what she should do next… The onlookers suddenly felt that they did not make a wasted trip today. It felt as though a coin collector suddenly found a precious coin with a wrong printing. Because it’s printing was wrong, it had an immeasurable value…

After they were dispersed, they could return home and tell the rest who were not present, “All of you are losing out! Do you know that this happened in the Sword Hut today…”

Gu Lingfei turned to Lu Shu suddenly. “Why don’t you go and take a rest at the back, there’s nothing much for you to do here.”

She said this because Lu Shu did not have to partic.i.p.ate in the test as he was already a disciple of the Sword Hut.

Lu Shu said humbly, “I think it is better to be fair to everyone. I am willing to partic.i.p.ate in the test along with the rest of the candidates…”

Before Lu Shu could finish his sentence, many of the candidates’ hearts sank. ‘Can you please f*cking get lost, n.o.body wants to see your face now…;

Gu Lingfei said coldly, “Are you leaving or not?”

At this moment, the black leopard beside her suddenly shrunk and turned into a sword that floated beside Gu Lingfei. Lu Shu was stunned. The black leopard was a sword? He had seen magical weapons with weapon spirits. However, magical weapons were still weapons, he could not believe it when he saw a weapon turn into a living thing?

Moreover, since it was Rank One, it ought to be able to fly. That was much more charismatic than flying in the sky alone.

However, Lu Shu said calmly when he saw how Gu Lingfei was about to attack, “I suddenly feel tired, I will walk around, you guys can continue… Remember to call me if there are any problems.”

After he said that, Lu Shu ran towards the back of the Sword Hut and did not care about the opinion of the rest of the people… The candidates of the Sword Hut heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Shu walked directly towards the cottage at the back as though it was n.o.body’s business. At this moment, he realized how important the position of the cottage was. From afar, the cottage made the place look like a yard without boundaries. After crossing the cottage, one felt as though things were changing.

Of course, the cottage was not very small. When they went near, every cottage was as big as a mansion. At the center, there was a cottage which was extremely delicate.

After walking for a very long time, Lu Shu looked up and saw a simple banner on the cottage which read “Library”.

He thought about his initial intention of entering the Sword Hut. Didn’t he want to look for the records from the palace of the King of G.o.ds? His heart was pounding. The way back home was just in front of his eyes?
