Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 557: The Script is Wrong

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Lu Shu confirmed a few details about meeting the families with Li Yixiao, he left. These details mainly consisted of some points that they had to pay attention to. First, the families had to discuss at the same time. Only after they finished their discussion could they have the chance to interact. Secondly, they could not give up on this black market. They would have to wait until the deal was completed before they could go into detail on how to operate the black market.

To Lu Shu, this black market was a business that was up to standard. His earlier businesses, such as selling stinky tofu by the roadside or selling Chinese chives, did not quite qualify as actual businesses. If Li Yixiao could continue to control this black market, he would also continue to receive 20% of the profits. This black market would become his first business that could act as a steady source of income.

At first, Lu Shu was worried that Li Yixiao would spread the word that they were selling magical stones and extricate himself from the black market. Then, after the deal he would once again have control of the black market. Wouldn’t this make things difficult for Li Yixiao?

But after their discussion, Lu Shu realised that he had underestimated Li Yixiao’s principle. From the start, Li Yixiao had no intention of allowing the black market to fall into someone else’s hands. He was the Lord of this territory!

Li Yixiao’s principle was that he had no principles.

The two of them complemented each other well. Li Yixiao thought about it and said that he had not thought about how to deal with the families after the deal. But Lu Shu was not worried about this.

Lu Shu walked out of Li Yixiao’s office and prepared to go home. He still had to wake up early to practice his sword. He had saved up enough distress points to break through the third Nebula. Thus, he did not even dare to draw the normal lottery, let alone buy chi fruit.

If he wanted to rebuild the snowy mountain, he had to rely on his own hard work.

Lu Shu also felt that Li Xianyi’s sea of chi had been accumulated through his own hard work. Only Lu Shu had taken the shortcut.

Taking the shortcut had its own benefits. But you would miss out on a lot of things, for example some details and epiphanies about training. Lu Shu decided that he would take the rebuilding of the snowy mountain as a form of tough training, to make up for what he missed when he had taken the shortcut.

Lu Shu had not walked far before he stopped in shock.

Gao Shenyin was in shock too.

“From Gao Shenyin’s distress, +666!”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Why was Gao Shenyin here?

Gao Shenyin was even more shocked. He had been completing tasks at the border of Dian Nan when an elder from his family told him that someone who was exactly like him had appeared. He was even more surprised when he heard that this person was a sword expert, and was a big name in the world of Practitioners.

Gao Shenyin rushed back home to discuss this with his parents. Li Yixiao had happened to contact the Gao family as well, thus the Gao family rushed over too!

Lu Shu did not know that Li Yixiao had contacted the Gao family. Li Yixiao did not talk about the black market with Nalan Que and Nalan Que also did not talk about the information she had received with Li Yixiao. Thus, this was a very awkward situation.

Lu Shu suddenly felt that the process of working together with Li Yixiao was like a textbook example of a mutually harmful relationship...

Now that the person himself had appeared, what could he do? The secret practitioners by the sidelines were all dumbfounded. Everyone had just seen the Venerable enter Li Yixiao’s office. And then, another Venerable followed closely behind. Ha ha, did you trust that they were real?

But the secret practitioners had interacted with Lu Shu for a few days now. Lu Shu’s symbolic harsh words had left a lasting impression on them. This characteristic was as conspicuous as a bright lamp in the dark night...

So the secret practitioners knew that the person who had entered first was the Venerable. The person who had followed behind looked exactly the same, but was not the same person, as Gao Shenyin did not speak at all.

Lu Shu quickly pondered about his reaction. “You...”

Before Lu Shu could react, Gao Shenyin said, “Elder brother!”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.

The script... doesn’t seem right?!

Gao Shenyin said, “Elder brother, what have you been doing these few years? Mom and dad are here too, but they were afraid that you wouldn’t want to see them. So they sent me here. Let’s go home.”

Lu Shu said: “... do you have an older twin brother?”

“Elder brother, stop it. Is there any meaning in your words?” Gao Shenyin asked.

Um...

Lu Shu did not know how to explain this.

Earlier, when he had bumped into Kitamura Hirono, he had said that he was Hirono’s twin brother from different parents. Now that he had disguised himself as Gao Shenyin, why did the real Gao Shenyin suddenly have an elder twin brother?!

“I’m not. You’ve gotten the wrong person. Goodbye,” said Lu Shu, wanting to leave. He had to think carefully whether he wanted to change his identity and continue working together with Li Yixiao...

At this moment, Gao Shenyin suddenly pulled Lu Shu’s arm.”Mom and dad were wrong to not respect your wishes. But after so many years, I think you should forgive them. But didn’t you want to conceal your identity and leave? Why are you practicing the sword now...”

Lu Shu was going crazy. What drama was this?! But he did not want to continue playing along!

He patted Gao Shenyin’s shoulder. “I need to use the toilet. I’ll talk to you later.”

Lu Shu immediately slipped into the newly-renovated toilet in the bomb shelter. He quickly changed his clothes and appearance before walking out. When he walked past Gao Shenyin, he still saw him waiting eagerly at the entrance of the toilet...

I’ve let you down, brother...

That night, news suddenly broke out in the realm of training. It was said that the expert that had appeared at the Luo City black market was the genius from the Gao family that had ran away from home. He was also the elder twin brother of Gao Shenyin.

Because it had happened a long time ago, and the younger generation like Gao Shenyin did not receive much attention in the magical energy-scarce era, thus no one paid attention to this information.

The big families were all shocked. They did not think that the Gao family would also produce a Class B expert!

Lu Shu sat on his bed. As he sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, he felt that the situation was very messy. He had to sort it out...

Shortly after, Lu Shu saw the distress points in the system’s back-end increase. “From Gao Shenzai’s distress, +199, +201...”

No one would let the distress points from the two brothers slip through their hands.

As Lu Shu was thinking about what identity he would use from now on, the big families had formed a thought. They now knew Gao Shenzai’s true identity. Furthermore, Gao Shenzai had come to Luo City so quickly and even dared to tussle with the Heavenly King. Did this mean that the Gao family have had their eyes on the Luo City black market for a long time?

It looked like the local black market at the Cultivation College had roused the interest of many. The Dian Nan Gao family had actually taken precautions so early on!

From their point of view, Gao Shenzhai’s appearance could not be a coincidence. Which family did not have children who ran away from home, only to come back very quickly? Blood is thicker than water. There could not be that much hatred between family members.

Gao Shenzai was definitely the Gao family’s secret weapon!

That night, the respective families, who had arrived in Luo City but had not mobilized their troops, started to contact Li Yixiao one by one. They felt that they might already be too late. They could not delay any further!
