Lu Xiaoyu silently packed her luggage. She packed all her daily essentials into the pink luggage bag she had just bought, while her snacks went into the s.p.a.ce ring.

They were prohibited from bringing snacks on this trip, but who could obstruct the s.p.a.ce ring?

“Wait until I finish training. In the future, I can also save you,” said Lu Xiaoyu to Lu Shu, who was standing outside the room door. “If I say that I will protect you, I will definitely protect you! I, Lu Xiaoyu, will do as I say!”

The back of Lu Shu’s head began to hurt. How did a pa.s.sionate young person, resolved to become a Heavenly King, spring out from his home?

“From Lu Shu’s distress, +199!”

“Lu Shu, will you miss me for these three months?” Lu Xiaoyu asked.

“Who will I miss? Won’t you be back in three months?” Lu Shu replied absentmindedly.

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +399!”

“Lu Shu, look at me in the eyes and tell me that,” Lu Xiaoyu said coldly.

“Ha ha ha ha, of course I will miss you,” said Lu Shu guiltily.

“What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent minded?” Lu Xiaoyu was unhappy.

“I was thinking of how to sell all the magical stones I have now,” said Lu Shu.

Lu Shu had already sent Little Fury out to find a place similar to a black market near Luo City. Lu Shu felt that Wen Wan City was not reliable. He wanted to see whether there were any other concealed black markets in Luo City.

After the Heavenly Network took control of the situation, they did not exterminate all the secret pract.i.tioners. On the contrary, they were raising these pract.i.tioners.

This was similar to what happened in the past, when they were more strict in order to maintain social stability. They were afraid that someone would commit crimes. But now, the secret pract.i.tioners were obedient and did not create much trouble either. Thus the Heavenly Network slightly relaxed their att.i.tude towards them.

According to Zhong Yutang, secret pract.i.tioners who became vagrants, for example Li Dian, became sleek old men early. There was a fear that if they were forced into a team, they would become the black sheep of the group. Thus, secret pract.i.tioners who had committed crimes like Li Dian would not be recruited into organizations. They would either be detained or deployed as spies for the organizations.

The Heavenly Network’s att.i.tude was very clear, not everyone could join the Heavenly Network. The secret pract.i.tioners practiced caution so as to not be caught. If not, the over ten black markets that had been destroyed in Xiazhou, Yuzhou and Shanzhou would be their fates too!

Lu Shu felt that the Heavenly Network’s affairs were none of his business. Now, he wanted to find a suitable black market and sell all his magical stones.

The markets had always been determined by supply and demand. Under the current circ.u.mstances, supply fell short of demand. Thus, the price of the magical stones would consequently become high as well.

Magical stones were originally peddled by members of the Heavenly Network and the Daoyuan Cla.s.s, but there were too few of these peddlers.

There was previously a thread on the Golden Foundation forum that said that a rich and powerful person had appeared at a black market in Xiazhou. He had bought a large amount of magical stones for three hundred thousand a piece. Whatever they had, he bought it all.

Rumor had it that this person was the broker of a certain family. The magical stones that he had purchased were to be used to nurture the children of the family. Some of the children had skills and abilities, but were reserved in nature. However, in reality, their ability levels were unnaturally high.

Two days later, Lu Shu went to send Lu Xiaoyu off. Over twenty military trucks had been parked in the field of Luo City International School. A group of parents cried miserably while holding on to their children. It felt as if they were sending their children to the war front, never to return. Most of the students were also crying buckets. A small group of students were either curious, or were trying to hold back their tears.

One of the parents saw Lu Shu bring Lu Xiaoyu to register and wiped their tears. “Why is there a young girl here? Is this the genius you were talking about at home?”

The student being questioned had a complex expression on his face. “Yes, that’s her.”

“Who is the person beside her?” The parent asked, wanting to know more.

“Oh, he is from the same batch as us. But he did not get into the Cultivation College and was sent to the security formation,” someone replied.

The parent nodded. “This is the consequence of not studying!”

The students beside them held back their opinion. Many people knew that Lu Shu’s grades were very good. But they could not understand why he had been a.s.signed to the security formation.

In reality, many people still did not know the truth of this world, the reason why they did not know some things was because their level was not high enough. They simply were not supposed to know…

Lu Xiaoyu looked at the group of students and parents, shedding tears and bidding goodbye. She suddenly thought of what Lu Shu had said two nights ago. One had to first have enough capability and convince the public, before one could become a Heavenly King.

How do you convince the public? Most importantly, you had to be firm and strong!

Lu Xiaoyu calmly turned around and said to Lu Sh,: “Lu Shu, don’t cry like these people. They’re so childish.”

Her voice was not soft. There was a momentary silence…

“From Liu Jianguo’s distress, +481…”

“From Ye Pei’s distress…”

“From Lu Shu’s distress, +99…”

Lu Shu felt that the speed at which Xiaoyu earned Abyss Fruits should be quite fast…

In reality, Lu Shu was very clear that the position of Heavenly King would not be given to a child, even if the child had exceptional abilities and had been promoted. A child was not yet mature. Even if Lu Xiaoyu did mature faster than usual, this was no exception. The Heavenly King was the face of the Heavenly Network. There were times when the att.i.tude of the Heavenly King would represent the entire Heavenly Network when facing external forces.

So Lu Xiaoyu’s current dream of becoming a Heavenly King, was only a dream…

Furthermore, Lu Shu was very clear that Lu Xiaoyu wanted to become a Heavenly King not because she wanted to bear the responsibility, but because of her rivalry. Under these circ.u.mstances, Nie Ting would have no choice but to reject giving the position of Heavenly King to Lu Xiaoyu.

Even if Lu Xiaoyu had two Cla.s.s B experts with her to force the situation, their combat power instantly dropped to an awful state against Nie Ting…

Lu Xiaoyu jumped on the military truck without looking back. She was like SunWukong

and wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Lu Shu hoped that Lu Xiaoyu would not create any major issues while she was there.

But Lu Shu reconsidered. Since Lu Xiaoyu now needed distress points as well, then she should just do as she liked.

On the other hand, Lu Shu himself had to return to a normal school life and properly sort out his content. He would have to wait for his official high school exams under the strange gaze of his cla.s.smates.

Within this period of time, he still had to think of a way to turn the magical stones in his hands into cash. This was the gray realm of training his cla.s.smates had yet to encounter.
