Chapter 1238: The Mystery of Cao Qingci
Apart from Tear Tricker themself, perhaps n.o.body else would go over to look at the isolated tomb. Moreover, it was coincidentally after the Spirit Qi recovered. Lu Shu suspected that Tear Tricker had regained their memory during that time period.
Moreover, the way she was advancing alone, how she went to the Luniverse with a Xin Ting sword, made one wonder if she had a motive or someone in mind whom she wanted to kill.
The news that Tear Tricker might have reincarnated as Cao Qingci made Lu Shu happy immediately. However, he began to worry if Cao Qingci could cope in the Luniverse alone as she was only Rank One when she left Earth.
No wonder, when the species research department admitted students, Lu Shu thought that Cao Qingci’s choice of course was very strange.
It made sense for Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao to do it. Both of them were close to Lu Shu and Chen Zuan was persuaded by Chen Baili to take up the course. However, it was a different story for Cao Qingci, why must she enroll in that particular course and remain obedient to Lu Shu?
Cao Qingci was the most outstanding student amongst the Cla.s.s A geniuses and Nie Ting’s disciple. Not only was her ident.i.ty astounding, but her accomplishments were also terrifying and she was the best in the Daoyuan Cla.s.s.
However, she was so obedient to Lu Shu? Perhaps she was not considered obedient but Cao Qingci had never opposed Lu Shu’s decisions and never gave Lu Shu any distress points.
One should know that many students who were not as good as Cao Qingci viewed Lu Shu in a negative manner.
Cao Qingci was the first Metahuman that Lu Shu discovered. Before the Heavenly Network completed their blood test for apt.i.tude, Lu Shu had already discovered Cao Qingci. Cao Qingci’s calmness and prudence left a deep impression on Lu Shu.
In the Beimang remains, Cao Qingci’s performance was exceptional. During the training for Cla.s.s A apt.i.tude, she and Lu Shu worked together and stopped the huge wave that the Rank Two water Metahuman brought about.
Ordinary students were completely astonished but Cao Qingci was not.
There were many unusual things about Cao Qingci. However, after Lu Shu found out about her ident.i.ty, everything seemed to make sense.
However, nothing could compare to the happiness Lu Shu felt when he realized that Cao Qingci might be the reincarnation of Tear Tricker.
The first thing Lu Shu did when he returned to the Longmen Fortress was to look for Ouyang Lishang. Ouyang Lishang was bowing to his disciples and was ready to kick them after that. However, he was stopped by Lu Shu.
“Didn’t I tell you to be civilised, what are you doing?” Lu Shu was confused. That was something he had personally instructed!
Ouyang Lishang explained, “I bowed before I kicked them!”
The experts in the weapon refinery laboratory were speechless. Why was Ouyang Lishang so bold?!
In the past, they looked down on Lu Shu. Now, they viewed Lu Shu as their savior as they realized that only Lu Shu was able to control Ouyang Lishang. Even Zhong Yutang was unable to do it.
Therefore, all the experts looked at Lu Shu in antic.i.p.ation. They had never placed all their hopes on a young man before.
Lu Shu reprimanded Ouyang Lishang, “You have to mind the way you educate people. Physical punishment is not going to work, you have to allow them to understand what mistakes they made instead of kicking them.”
The experts were touched to tears. Thank goodness, the Ninth Heavenly King understood!
Lu Shu took a glance at the busy weapon refinery laboratory and said, “After you are done, ask Zhong Yutang to bring you over to look for me.”
Right now, almost all the bronze lamps were moved by Zhong Yutang as Lu Shu did not trust others to do it. Unfortunately, Zhong Yutang was still looked down upon by the Lamp G.o.d…
After Lu Shu finished his sentence, Ouyang Lishang immediately said obediently, “Yes King, goodbye!”
After Lu Shu left, Ouyang Lishang turned around and saw an expert slacking off.
Then, that expert saw Ouyang Lishang bow and kick him, before staring angrily at him and asking him, “Do you know what mistake you made?”
The experts realized that it was impossible to stop the physical punishment. Now, an extra step was introduced.
After they were kicked, they still had to reflect on what mistake they had made…
Moreover, the experts realized that this was not the most terrible thing yet…
The most terrible thing was, if their reflections were incorrect, the bowing and kicking process would continue… until they realized their mistake.
In the weapon refinery laboratory, everyone endured the suffering as they wanted to learn how to inherit the techniques. Everyone was like Goujian who slept on sticks and tasted bile, Lu Xun who endured humiliation as part of an important mission and Yu Qian who had a bad relations.h.i.+p with Guo Degang[1]
As night fell, Zhong Yutang brought the Lamp G.o.d to the apartment Lu Shu was staying in. Zhong Yutang threw the lamp down and left, n.o.body knew what the Lamp G.o.d did to him.
Lu Shu took out a hammer and threw it to Ouyang Lishang. However, Ouyang Lishang hugged Lu Shu’s thighs and began to complain while crying after seeing the hammer, “King, you finally decided to give me the hammer again!”
Lu Shu’s face turned black immediately. “Speak properly. Do you know why I gave you the hammer?”
Although Lu Shu did not acknowledge the fact that he was the old King of G.o.ds and thought that they were two separate people, he could not explain this to Ouyang Lishang and therefore referred himself as the old King of G.o.ds.
“Because I am your most loyal subordinate.” Ouyang Lishang was sucking up to Lu Shu.
“No,” said Lu Shu expressionlessly, “Because you are a hammer!”
Lu Xiaoyu shot a look at the Lamp G.o.d when she pa.s.sed by Lu Shu on her way to the kitchen. “This guy is Ouyang Lishang?”
Ouyang Lishang was attentive. He knew that Lu Xiaoyu was extraordinary, if Lu Xiaoyu was living together with Lu Shu, she was definitely special. He smiled to Lu Xiaoyu, “I am Ouyang Lishang.”
At this moment, Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao came in. It was the time for dinner. When they saw Ouyang Lishang, they were not surprised as they had met a couple of times before.
Then, Lu Xiaoyu immediately pointed to the two of them. “Enter after changing to slippers!”
Chen Zuan looked down and saw the newly-bought slippers at the door. However, Chen Zuan did not understand. “You don’t really clean your house, why suddenly the change?”
As he said that, he touched the floor with his fingers and his fingers were full of dust. He was shocked. “Look, there’s so much dust.”
Lu Xiaoyu smiled coldly. “The dust in my house doesn’t have germs. The dust can be disobedient but you can’t.”
Chen Zuan was dumbstruck.
“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”
