Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 1237: Bestowed By the Emperor

The relationship between Lu Shu and Li Xianyi seemed to have returned to when they were neighbors in the apartment. They joked around. They were either angry or being angered.

This was the life that Li Xianyi had been yearning for. If the Golden Foundation did not exist, he would have lived in seclusion.

Li Xianyi looked at Lu Shu. Suddenly, he said, “I’m sorry about the Puppet Master.”

This was the first time Li Xianyi had properly apologized to Lu Shu. In the past, he could not quite say it. But it was like a thorn in his heart.

In the end, this misunderstanding had occurred because the Golden Foundation had been cheated by something despicable. The dead could not be revived. If they were wrong, then they were wrong.

Lu Shu thought deeply about it. He earnestly said, “It is not realistic for me to forgive you that easily. Although I have never seen her face, I can feel the loneliness she felt when she was chased to death down the street. She had ten thousand reasons to hand me over to you, but she felt that I was more important than her life.”

She had no comrades. She spent three days and three nights. She rapidly ran 500 kilometers to Luo City after forcefully reducing her strength, just to fulfill her mission.

Perhaps she had thought about giving up, but she did not.

Behind her were all people who wanted to kill her, but she gave all her warmth to Lu Shu. Perhaps she sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Lu Shu when he cried.

Lu Shu could even imagine the warmth and strength of the lady when she sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

This kind of person had been killed. How could Lu Shu forgive Li Xianyi and the Golden Foundation that easily? If the assailant was not Li Xianyi and was someone else instead, Lu Shu might have started a massacre. He might even have destroyed the entire Golden Foundation.

He did not mind facing the entire world. Thankfully, the entire world was not against him in this lifetime.

Lu Shu stood by the window and sighed. “This is the reason why I am going to the Luniverse again. Some debts have to be settled. I will not act compassionate and say that I will forgive anyone. The person who died was Tear Tricker. I have no right to forgive anyone on behalf of her. We’ll talk about it again once everything has been settled.”

Lu Shu was thinking of another problem. He already had new Puppet Masters. Little Fury was one of them. It had inherited Dream Chooser’s abilities.

The piece of golden paper had chosen an entourage for Lu Shu. Another one was the phoenix he had found in Africa. It was a creature that belonged to Howard from the Phoenix Society. Now, it was sleeping and transforming. But Lu Shu felt that there was a problem with the phoenix. Even if Chaos had slept and transformed, it was complete, but the phoenix had not awakened. It was as if it were waiting for something.

But he, Lu Xiaoyu, and Coral could reincarnate. Why did Tear Tricker not have this opportunity? After all, she was a Puppet Master. She was the person closest to the old King of Gods. She might have had the technique for reincarnation.

Li Xianyi calmly said, “I have decided. The Golden Foundation has changed. Once the creatures in Australia have been eliminated, I will resign and leave the Golden Foundation. I will live in seclusion back in Luo City and not attend to world affairs. If you want to settle this debt with me, you may do so anytime.”

Li Xianyi then took out a silver hammer from his thumb ring and passed it to Lu Shu. “This is the relic that the Golden Foundation obtained from the Laos remains. But it is not a weapon. I have always been curious about its function. At first, I used it as an invisible storage equipment. Later on, after I obtained this thumb ring, I have never used it.”

Lu Shu curiously asked, “What are inside the remains?”

Li Xianyi furrowed his eyebrows. “You should have heard. When the Laos remains opened, Vientiane was almost completely burned. There are countless mountains made out of metal, as well as surging flames and molten iron. I don’t know what is inside the remains either. I haven’t had the time to explore.”

“Are you saying that there are no creatures in the remains?” Lu Shu was dumbfounded after receiving the hammer. He saw a row of words on the handle of the hammer. “Bestowed by the emperor to Ouyang Lishang.”

Wait. Was this hammer given to Ouyang Lishang by the old King of Gods? Was the Laos remains filled with molten iron and flames a place of materials the old King of Gods had prepared for Ouyang Lishang?

Li Xianyi said, “There are no creatures in the remains. Back then, the biggest problem in obtaining the relic was not the remains. Li Yixiao was a real piece of work. If he did not cause any trouble, obtaining the relic would have been a relatively easy task. Take this. It’s useless to me. There’s no harm giving this to you.”

Lu Shu kept the hammer in the Seal of Lands. Then, he said, “Thank you. I really need it now.”

Although Lu Shu did not yet know what the relic was for, if it had been bestowed to Ouyang Lishang by the old King of Gods, it would be extremely important.

Lu Shu thought about it. Then, he said, “When I come back from the Luniverse, we can be neighbors at the apartment. I will welcome you on behalf of the Heavenly Network.”

Li Xianyi was absent-minded. At the dawn of the magically rich era, Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin had invited Li Xianyi to join the Heavenly Network, but Li Xianyi rejected.

It was also then when Lu Shu first encountered the two Heavenly Kings. Then, he realized that his elderly neighbor was not simple.

Now, Lu Shu represented the Heavenly Network...

That was right. This young man could now represent the Heavenly Network. The Ninth Heavenly King had reached the point where he could represent the Heavenly Network’s intentions.

“Sure.” Li Xianyi smiled and nodded. “I will go.”

Things had come a full circle. Back then, Li Xianyi was not able to bring Lu Shu into the Golden Foundation. Now, he was going to be brought into the Heavenly Network by Lu Shu...

Lu Shu stepped into a void. When he reappeared, he arrived at Mangshan cemetery. He walked up the steps and looked for the gravestone that Li Xianyi had mentioned. Finally, he saw the words “Puppet Master” in a corner.

An auntie was sweeping the dust on the gravestone with a massive broom. She did not realize when Lu Shu had appeared.

The auntie looked at Lu Shu. “Young man, do you recognize this gravestone? This gravestone is the strangest one in the cemetery. There are no words on it.”

Lu Shu looked at the auntie. “How long have you been cleaning this place?”

“Over ten years?” The auntie recalled. “You are the second person who has come to see this gravestone in the past ten years.”

“Hm?” Lu Shu asked curiously, “Is there someone else who has come to see this gravestone?”

“Yes.” The auntie said, “I definitely remember correctly, as this gravestone is very unique. Since last year, a young lady would frequently stand quietly here. But she did not give flowers or burn paper money. She would leave after standing for a while.”

Lu Shu suddenly took out his phone and flashed the picture of Cao Qingci from the Heavenly Network records. “Is this her?”

The auntie was shocked. “That’s her. She is very cold and proud. When I talk to her, she will not pay any attention to me. I definitely cannot mistake her.”

Lu Shu looked at the gravestone. Suddenly, he felt that he might have found Tear Tricker.
