Chapter 469: Huge Sums of Inheritance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Residents at the No.4 Xingshu Road were confused about the sudden appearance of the crowd.
Last time, Lu Shu’s killing of the three human traffickers had left a profound impact on his neighborhood. Now, most of his neighbors knew that the innermost bungalow was occupied by a Daoyuan Cla.s.s student, whose murderous vibe was so strong that no one dared to approach.
The residents soon learned that those white chrysanthemums were for Lu Shu. Perplexed, the onlookers discussed among themselves. “What happened? He’s a martyr now?”
“Didn’t you see the Golden Foundation forum? A student from our Luo Cheng Daoyuan Cla.s.s made an enemy abroad with some cultivation organization. Then, he was a.s.sa.s.sinated!”
“So scary?”
“Now he’s called a national hero. But I don’t think he can be considered one, can he?”
At this moment, a student walked past, his head was half bald and his eyes red with tears. Upon hearing the comment, he could not help but shouted, “Lu Shu IS a national hero! Whoever disagrees can find me, Liu Li, in Daoyuan Cla.s.s!”
Residents, “???”
Why are you so triggered? You freaked us out…
Meanwhile, Lu Shu mumbled after the crowd had left, “I’m still alive but they all think I’m dead. I… I deserve a pay raise!”
He was well aware that Nie Ting must have some plans for him, which explained the fake death scheme. However, Zhong Yutang’s quick action made him feel like… they could not wait to throw him out and that was why they jumped at the opportunity with no delay at all…
In order to keep things running smoothly, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly became a talented actress too. Sobbing miserably, she went to put away the white chrysanthemums and candles outside the door. Lu Shu watched everything with a straight face. Even he felt that he had died once.
Honestly speaking, he did not expect that so many people would come to “send him off” after his death and that even Cao Qingci would be willing to avenge him. He had rarely experienced the same feeling before.
In the past, with no interest in joining any parties, Lu Shu had always emphasized on personal freedom. But Liu Li’s appearance at his doorstep still tugged at his heartstrings.
Then, his thought drifted to the girl thousands of miles away. She must be heartbroken upon hearing about his death, he thought.
Later in the day Lu Xiaoyu went to school as usual. She was very displeased, though, as she had missed yet another opportunity to be Lu Shu’s cla.s.smate…
Not only this, she even had to cover for Lu Shu for “the greater good”!
The first thing to do after she arrived at school was the settlement of admission particulars. Due to the unique nature of her case, the procedures were comparatively much more complicated.
However, she crossed way with the Chinese teacher Lu Hong the moment she entered the staffroom. The teacher made a deep bow to Lu Xiaoyu first. “My apologies for mistaking you. Lu Shu is indeed a national hero and I should not have given your essay such a poor score. You are a grade skipper with high capabilities.”
Lu Xiaoyu dismissed her with a wave. “Ignorance can be forgiven.”
“From Lu Hong’s distress, +299…”
How could a kid speak to her teacher in this manner? The atmosphere soon became awkward…
s.h.i.+ Qingyan had a hunch that he might have a tough time being the form teacher this year…
…
When Lu Shu was watching Naruto at home, he was startled by a wave of energy underground. Instantly he was on his guard as only very few would break into his house during this sensitive period. It was possible that the visitor had come with hostility.
As a result, as soon as the earth-type Metahuman who had just brought Lu Shu home in the morning emerged from the floor with You Mingyu, they saw two glistening spears aimed directly at their heads…
“Eh, friendly forces!” the earth-type Metahuman immediately left after sending You Mingyu there.
When Lu Shu and You Mingyu were left alone in one room, Lu Shu was starting to get goose b.u.mps. “Why are you here?”
“To check with you regarding your future ident.i.ty. I suppose you’ve already known what you are going to do in the future, right… Put down your spear first…” You Mingyu said.
a.s.sured that he was quite normal under usual circ.u.mstances, Lu Shu felt relieved. “Yes. Pay raise.”
“From You Mingyu’s distress, +199!”
“Field agents enjoy excellent subsidies. You can rest a.s.sured about that. Besides, you’ll get a huge sum of compensation if you are sacrificed…”
“Wait, wait. It’s fine, we are only talking about subsidies and not compensation…” Lu Shu interrupted him. “So, where am I going? Who will I be? What should I do?”
“Be yourself. A high school student, orphan, often bullied… Put your spear down!” You Mingyu jolted.
Lu Shu’s face darkened. “I’m afraid you have some misunderstanding about me. What do you mean by ‘often bullied’?!”
Then he realized that no distress points were produced as he pointed his spear at You Mingyu’s head. Haha, no matter how much you denied it, your emotions were pretty honest.
You Mingyu reconsidered his choice of words. “Isolated, then…”
Lu Shu felt suspicious of the plan. “What’s there to act as an ordinary high school student? What’s the point of being a spy like this?”
“We are on the same team so can’t you at least show some respect? What’s your problem? I won’t hurt you anyway so why do you keep pointing at me with your spear?!” You Mingyu snapped.
“Respect? Right…”
Then he went to his bedroom and came back with another spear. “In order to show my respect, which spear do you prefer me to use on you? Please suit yourself.”
Now he had the freedom of choice. Was that not enough respect?
“From You Mingyu’s distress, +666…”
“Do you have the right definition of respect?!” this time, You Mingyu was angry. “This high school student’s ident.i.ty has certain value. His parents were killed during the internal conflicts of the Collection of G.o.ds, leaving behind an inheritance…”
“Inheritance? What inheritance?” that had finally caught Lu Shu’s interest.
“Heavenly King Nie has said that in addition to the field-agent’s allowances, this inheritance belongs to you too,” replied You Mingyu.
“My goodness!” Lu Shu immediately put his spear away. “You see, haha, I’m really sorry about earlier. I was just kidding. Please don’t take it too hard.”
You Mingyu was suddenly reminded of Heavenly King Nie’s advice. If you can’t talk any sense into this kid, the inheritance will be your trump card…
“Actually, one of our people has long since been lurking around him. She’s their maid, responsible for gathering their information. The initial plan was to instigate a rebellion against his parents but the jingoists of the Collection of G.o.ds were even faster. As for this high school student, his parents were representatives of the Conservatives and also leaders of an inherited trade. Now, the Conservatives wants to use this student as a puppet against the jingoists of the Collection of G.o.ds. In secret, of course.”
