Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 370: Clues of the Gold Lord

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Heavenly Network called it Lu Shu’s Killing Affair, the incident where Lu Shu killed the three scammers who tried to abduct his sister.

Since it was witnessed by so many neighbors, the Network was under immense pressure from public opinion, but it still exhausted all means to minimize its effect.

As a matter of fact, no one inside the Network who knew the actual situation faulted Lu Shu for his doings. Human traffickers deserved to die, they said. What was more, the fact that they wanted to sell Lu Xiaoyu, a girl with cultivation aptitude, made their act even more unforgivable.

In addition, Heavenly King Chen’s confidants were all aware that he wanted to accept Lu Xiaoyu as his apprentice. Thus, the matter infuriated Chen Baili…

Actually, the most enraged were the Heavenly Network fighters stationed on the Beimang Mountain. Did someone say they wanted to take Lu Xiaoyu away while they were giving her snacks all day? No way.

For the entire month, a heated topic was widely discussed inside the Capital’s and Beimang’s Network, well done, nice kill… All of a sudden, the public indignation was mounting rapidly…

Was it not? Recently Lu Xiaoyu had not been to the mountains for a while all thanks to the bloody human traffickers! Now, they had no one to give their huge piles of snacks to!

Soon, a group was formed on the Beimang Mountain, called “Lu Xiaoyu’s elder brothers and sisters”, eager to protect Lu Xiaoyu personally…

But Lu Shu did not know any of that. All he knew was the change in attitude of his neighbors. To tell the truth, they had witnessed Practitioners combats on the Golden Foundation forum, but it still instilled fear when such violence happened in such close proximity.

Therefore, Lu Shu’s third star had been lit, and he was halfway towards the fourth.

What was the most terrifying was Lu Shu’s merciless killing when he had the chance to capture them alive.

But that was none of Lu Shu’s concern. He believed he was right. It was never on his mind how strangers might view him.

People liked to judge others with their own sets of principles due to one single reason, everyone thought that theirs was the sole truth.

Lu Shu was more extreme in this aspect. His rules could never be shaken by others’ opinions.

If even the Heavenly Network disagreed with him, he would not think twice about migrating elsewhere with Lu Xiaoyu.

They could leave underground with Anthony’s help, their greatest trump card at the moment.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Network sided with him without any hesitation.

It was a strange yet amazing feeling, that strangers came to support, approve and care for you as your “comrades-in-arms”.

It was also something foreign to Lu Shu. But at that moment, he suddenly realized the Network might really have a place for him.

…

After dinner, Lu Shu happily led Lu Xiaoyu to the rooftop and sat at its edge.

It was their favorite time of the day in the past. Watching the myriad of twinkling lights afar, the world felt small, as if there were the two of them only.

“Do you really have to go, Lu Shu?” Lu Xiaoyu was curious.

“Yea, the influence was bad. I need to leave for a while. It’s said the Heavenly Network is under pressure due to that too,” Lu Shu explained.

After that day, Li Yixiao had become an even more frequent guest at their house, as though the intensity had been escalating and Lu Shu should not stay any longer…

Lu Shu was skeptical, was it really so serious? But Li Yixiao did not seem to be joking at all. Furthermore, Lu Shu did not want to cause the Network too much trouble. As the center of attention, he must be considerate for their plight as well.

As for Nie Ting, it was a timely event, like a much needed pillow when he was feeling sleepy. The three ran into Lu Shu just when he was having difficulty trying to indirectly persuade the kid into the overseas remain.

Moreover, it was not done for Lu Shu.

Lu Xiaoyu’s current ability only allowed two spirits to be incarcerated simultaneously. At first they were Anthony and a pig, which was later replaced with Class C Liu Dakun at Tongguan. This time, Lu Xiaoyu captured Wang Qian, Meng Yunbang and Meng Yue one after the other to probe into their memories.

After they had obtained all the information, she let them vanish into the air. Lu Shu was unsure whether reincarnation was real. If it was, he hoped they could never be reborn in this world.

Sometimes violence is necessary to free one from sin, a thought suddenly struck Lu Shu, if the world could not give you justice, you need to earn it yourself.

Lu Shu was, after all, a selfish person. He had always been.

This time the memory obtained was rather complete as it was pieced together by three people’s recollections.

Lu Shu had made an educated guess. Indeed, they were unaffiliated scammers. Unexpectedly, though, the commoner named Meng Yue, whom Lu Shu had thought to be a puppet, actually had the highest position there.

According to their original plan, they would take Lu Xiaoyu to the south, where she would be brainwashed and tamed by another group.

Their accomplices were not that strong either, a handful of Class D’s. Lu Xiaoyu was a Class D based on their information, thus their evil plan was infallible if Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu were convinced of her “background”.

Subsequently, they would smuggle Xiaoyu into South East Asia and sell her by auction on the Darkness Kingdom.

Every time he thought of them auctioning Lu Xiaoyu, it made Lu Shu exasperated. But in return, Lu Xiaoyu would eye him with a smile.

Lu Xiaoyu had become less naughty in this period of time. She volunteered to sell and harvest chives for Lu Shu, and even started doing house chores. She seemed to be in high spirits all day…

On the other side, Lu Shu was notified of the confirmation of the three people’s identities, which turned out to be already on the Heavenly Network’s blacklist. Although their intentions were unclear, they would not get away from Yuzhou even if they had Lu Xiaoyu.

Their accomplices in the south had been wiped out as well…

But even so, Lu Shu’s anger was not pacified. And it was at that time when Lu Xiaoyu dug out information about the person working behind the scene from Meng Yue’s memory fragments.

That would explain Meng Yue’s exceptionally high status despite being a commoner. He was a representative of a Gold Lord downstream.

Thus, Lu Shu was determined to pay a visit to South East Asia. Coincidentally, the remain was situated there too.
