Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 1000: Take A Drastic Measure to Deal with A Situation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as all the candidates of the Sword Hut selection were feeling unsafe, the selection was to begin half a month earlier than stipulated. When Gu Lingfei went out of the clouds on the back of the black leopard to announce this news, all the people of the palace were stunned, including the aristocrats.

Everyone knew why the first round of selection was brought forward. There were too many accidents in this round of Sword Hut selections. For example, for the first time in history, someone was given an early offer to the Sword Hut. Moreover, in the past, none of the selections had ever had a change in time but a change was made in this year.

What was the difference between this year’s Sword Hut selections and the past years? In the past, Lu Shu did not participate but he did this year...

Many people realized that Gu Lingfei’s face was pretty black. She looked as if she was in a terrible mood.

On ordinary days, nobody dared to make Gu Lingfei angry. Very few people in the Sword Hut showed their faces. They seemed to be practising all day long and was unconcerned about what was happening in the world. In the Sword Hut, the senior disciple seemed to be taking care of the matters but Gu Lingfei was the person who was in charge of everyday maintenance.

Therefore, Gu Lingfei was actually the Chief Manager of the Sword Hut and she was the most liked person by the owner of the Sword Hut.

Before Gu Lingfei became a Master, she was rather demanding. Nobody in the palace could deal with her. After all, what could they do to a disciple who was the most-liked by the owner of the Sword Hut?

When Gu Lingfei became a Master, many of the aristocrats had given up hope. They thought that Gu Lingfei would become more demanding. However, the result was shocking. Gu Lingfei recollected her temper and was able to see the bigger picture.

At this moment, Gu Lingfei wanted to kill Lu Shu as the entire issue of the Sword Hut selection involved the Sword Hut’s reputation. After the end of the second round of examination, the Sword Hut ceremony would be conducted. Every single descendant of the Sword Hut would attend the ceremony and different powers would watch the ceremony too.

They were there to watch the ceremony not because of the grandeur, but rather because during the past ceremonies, the owner of the Sword Hut would demonstrate their swordplay, allowing many people to benefit from it. Every since the owner of the Sword Hut disappeared, the senior disciple of the Sword Hut took over the task of demonstrating his swordplay.

Although the senior disciple of the Sword Hut was not as powerful as the Master, when the Master personally demonstrated their swordplay, countless people were attracted too.

Therefore, the ceremony of the Sword Hut became the most important thing in the Luniverse.

Just as the entire Luniverse was focusing on the Sword Hut, Lu Shu appeared...

Gu Lingfei wanted to kill Lu Shu but the senior disciple did not agree. Instead, he said some things that Gu Lingfei did not understand. Gu Lingfei respected the senior disciple who sat on the top of the mountain all year long practising his skills. However, she felt that the senior disciple had something that he was unwilling to say.

What could Lu Shu, a mere Rank One, do? At the very most, he would become a Master. Could he tear the Sword Hut down?

Gu Lingfei had thought of some other possibilities. However, when she checked with the senior discipline, he negated all of her guesses.

Now that the Sword Hut selections were suddenly brought forward, the other candidates who did not want to see Lu Shu were tortured tremendously.

To Lu Shu, he felt as though he was struck by lightning, it was such a drastic measure to deal with the situation...

That was because he could not get onto the battle stage of the first round of selections...

Besides that, everyone was in the Sword Hut, even if he was extremely daring, he would not dare to stir things up in the Sword Hut.

“Oh no, I am screwed,” Lu Shu sighed, “Time to strike a deal with the Sun family, I won’t be able to make anymore money in the future.”

“Hmm.” Lu Xiaoyu nodded. “From the money we have saved, apart from a small fraction of the money to be used as expenses, we can already purchase 12000 sets of magical armor. Our gains are pretty good. However, I’m not sure if Sun Zhongyang is able to get us so many sets of magical armor.”

When Lu Shu went over, Sun Zhongyang was stunned. He initially thought that Lu Shu did not have much money and could barely use his money to buy 1200 sets of magical armor. Now, he realized that the entire Sun family had insufficient supplies. After all, the Sun family did not have to be involved in battles!

Sun Zhongyang looked at Lu Shu and said, “Give me two months’ time, I will rush a batch of armor out for you...”

Lu Shu smacked his lips. “The Sun family don’t even have 12000 sets of magical armor?”

Sun Zhongyang felt terrible. This question sounded as though the Sun family was very weak. It was clearly because Lu Shu was good at earning money! That amount of armor was nothing much to the Sun family. However, who would keep so many sets of magical armor? Most of the armies in the Luniverse did not like to use such expensive equipment. To those who had assumed positions, life was worth nothing as the social classes were fixed. Those with a lower social class status were as powerless as ants.

In the past, the rules were also set for the territories of the Lords of Heaven. People only started to attack each other in recent years and the boundaries were blurred. However, it was not to the extent such that people fought to their deaths.

Everyone was still afraid of that individual in the palace of the King of Gods. The boundaries were set fairly by the old King of Gods and each person had a quarter of the territory. However, did they really not have any other thoughts? Probably not.

Sometimes, the battle on the borders became means for testing these boundaries. As for what people were testing, it was impossible for ordinary aristocrats to guess.

“Alright, I will give you two months’ time. After two months, I will return to the Sun family to collect my armor,” said Lu Shu.

“Why do you need so many sets of armor? Are you planning to attack someone?” Sun Zhongyang did not understand. “The Wei Wu Army only has 5000 soldiers in total! The magical armors are not easy to spoil, it won’t be used up so quickly.”

“Can’t I keep them?” Lu Shu was unhappy. “Just do your business. Why are you concerned about what I am using them for.”

Well, he could not tell Sun Zhongyang that he was planning to bring them back to Earth...

Lu Shu and Nie Ting, as well as the other Heavenly Networks would not view the rest of the members’ lives in the Heavenly Network as powerless and worthless. A life is a life. With an additional set of armor, everyone would feel more secure.

However, at this moment, Lu Shu saw someone from the Sun family run towards Sun Zhongyang and whisper to him.

Lu Shu wanted to go forward to listen to what they were saying. Sun Zhongyang pushed Lu Shu. “You are almost touching me!”

“Cough cough.” Lu Shu was not sorry. “What’s wrong?”

“The ceremony of the Sword Hut is being brought forward, you know that,” Sun Zhongyang said, “However, what is more shocking is that the people under the Lord of Heaven have also arrived early. Just now, the people under Duanmu Huangqi from the West Region have entered the palace with their horses. There was a large group of carriages behind them. Some people speculate that Duanmu Huangqi has come personally to view the ceremony!”
