Chapter 72: Nie Ting (Part 1)
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
No one knew why someone so good-looking from Daoyuan cla.s.s would hang out with someone like Lu Shu.
Someone from the same school as Jiang Shuyi previously said that his family background was not normal. Combined with his lead in the road of training, he seemed like a bright and s.h.i.+ning star.
On the other hand, Lu Shu had the reputation of being unapproachable and also happened to be trailing far behind in training… Even a normal person trailing behind did not have such an extreme reputation…
But the two of them getting along was just not right!
Jiang Shuyi was unlike Liu Li. Despite his accomplishments in training, he did not plan to make use of that to rope people onto his side. If anyone were to think that, they would have guessed that Lu Shu had been roped in…
But what was so good about Lu Shu, someone of tier F apt.i.tude? So what if he had awakened as a strength type?
Jiang Shuyi whispered a whole bunch of stuff to Lu Shu, “The magical energy in the city can’t be compared to in the wilderness. There are places in the mountains rich in magical energy and it has reached unimaginable levels. So I suggest that you visit the Laojun Mountain on the weekends.”
“There are also magically rich places in Luo Cheng but many people are already fighting over them. Since you have never considered about this matter, it’d be better to target places in the wild. Even though it may not be as convenient, going there once a week would make up for your lack of apt.i.tude… I’m not saying your apt.i.tude is bad, but… everyone has their own flaws.”
His lecture went on for half an hour and Lu Shu gained plenty of useful information. But he also learned that this Jiang Shuyi, the moment he started blabbering, he was actually a bigger chatterbox than Ye Lingling!
Never did he expect that!
Lu Shu observed that Jiang Shuyi was actually a really nice person but due to his easily misunderstood gender, it was starting to drive him crazy. Although he did not know why the other party was willing to share so much with himself, he was starting to reveal his innate personality.
Jiang Shuyi thought for a moment before adding on, “Do you know about the Golden Foundation website? You should be careful when posting anything there. The Golden Foundation is okay but the problem lies in all the eyes on this forum. So if you wish to post anything, better spend a few hundred dollars to buy a second-hand phone and a new SIM card as every phone has its own registration number. So even if you used a new SIM card with your current phone, it would not work.”
That spelled more trouble for Lu Shu. Even the phone had to be changed? If not for Jiang Shuyi’s reminder, he would have committed that mistake.
In fact, not many people knew about this!
Lu Shu had planned to mess around on the forums at night but now that the plan was foiled, he could only wait until tomorrow.
By the time cla.s.ses ended, the entire cohort of Daoyuan cla.s.s students already knew that Cao Qingci had completed 3 cycles of training overnight, giving herself a dominating lead.
And Jiang Shuyi had also completed 2 cycles. This duo had become Luo Cheng Daoyuan cla.s.s’ top figures.
Some had started to wonder where Jiang Shuyi stayed and that place must be br.i.m.m.i.n.g with magical energy!
Outside the school gate were cars that came to pick up the Daoyuan cla.s.s students. There were originally no parking lots for cars outside Luo Cheng international school gates so all the cars parked along the main road, causing a congestion. Despite that, no one did anything about it.
This was due to the importance of the Daoyuan cla.s.s and its wide, mysterious connections that made the local officials unsure of how to deal with it.
But even wide connections might not suppress all of the officials’ authority. In logic, the rules and regulations of many years of history would not be affected so easily.
At night, Lu Shu reached his doorsteps when he suddenly noticed over 10 men in black coats had appeared in the alley behind him.
It was 10 pm at night, the air was moist and cooling as the black coats calmly approached, as though they could alter the air around them.
All these was like the feeling of oppression taking form and anyone who witnessed it would definitely be nervous.
The scene right before Lu Shu’s eyes sent chills down his spine but he was not dumb, these black coats might not be here for him!
Lu Shu regained his composure and firmly turned his key and entered the house. If these black coats were here for Li Xianyi, then not learning the art of the sword from him would have been his smartest choice yet. But if Li Xianyi could tide through the night, then that might suggest that it was okay for him to finally start learning.
The main point was to find out the relations.h.i.+p between Li Xianyi and the black coats!
A man within the black coats said, “Neighbour, Daoyuan cla.s.s student, Name- Lu Shu, tier F apt.i.tude, yet to have any contact with the target.”
Someone behind the black coats acknowledged with an ‘oh’. This person wore a black cloak and had the vibe of a mysterious night overlord.
This black cloak seemed very out of fas.h.i.+on with the current trend and not many would really wear such a thing. And that shade of black was like the black of the deepest, darkest abyss.
But such a person was especially cool-looking as he or she walked down the alley with a tall-standing posture without making any sound. But judging from the eyes, this person seemed quite young.
The gang of black coats arrived in front of Li Xianyi’s doorsteps as Lu Shu peeped through a small s.p.a.ce in the window curtain.
Only to see the person wearing a black cloak look back in his direction, as though the curtain was invisible. Lu Shu felt a gush of cold wind and knew that this person was definitely not someone to mess with.
At this moment, the other party’s gaze went through the curtains and locked onto Lu Shu and he smiled, before turning back to face Li Xianyi’s house and exclaimed, “Lowly disciple Nie Ting, comes forward to pay respect to Elder Li!”
Lu Shu watched on from behind the curtains. Since the other party was not looking for him and did not mind him watching, there wasn’t a need for him to act cowardly.
Li Xianyi replied from inside the house, “The grand arrival of a heavenly king, pardon my insufficient welcome, please enter.”
Lu Shu’s pupils dilated, this person… was actually one of the legendary heavenly kings!
The were many members in the organization but there were only less than 10 heavenly kings. Jiang Shuyi mentioned earlier today that each and every heavenly king was an expert and none of them was lower than Cla.s.s B. Having the ability to draw the heavenly powers, these people did not appear during the magical era, but were long in existence.
As for the other details, Jiang Shuyi wasn’t sure.
If not for Jiang Shuyi, Lu Shu would not even know what these heavenly kings were about.
Cla.s.s B! Even the priest in the Golden Foundation’s video was just a Cla.s.s D and yet, a Cla.s.s B expert had just appeared!
