Chapter 998: Stopping My Livelihood

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

?Stop blocking me!? Lu Shu was furious!

Just as everyone thought that Lu Shu was lucky enough to be recruited into the Sword Hut in advance, Lu Shu was unhappy. Where would his money come from?

Earlier, he had wanted to defeat all the candidates in one go and earn money from this.

After all, other than his soap business, he only had the gambling den as his temporary source of income. That was right. He treated this as a business.

But after the Sword Hut announced that he had been recruited in advance, his bets disappeared from the gambling dens in the palace!

From now on, Lu Shu was an official disciple of the Sword Hut. No gambling den felt that there was any potential to earn money from him.

?We are not blocking you.? Lu Xiaoyu rolled her eyes and said, ?If you want to go, then go. But I don?t think you can defeat them now.?

Yi Qian said, ?Congratulations, boss.?

But Yi Qian did not have a large reaction like the others. If the Sword Hut was willing to allow Yi Qian to enter the Sword Hut, he would definitely be very happy. But who was Lu Shu? To Yi Qian, Lu Shu joining the Sword Hut was only part of their plan. There was not much to it.

According to Gu Lingfei, if the King of Gods had not said anything, the Sword Hut was the rule.

There was a condition behind this. If the King of Gods did not appear, the Sword Hut was the rule.

But to Yi Qian, who was Lu Shu? He was the King of Gods!

Thus, Yi Qian felt that Lu Shu, joining the Sword Hut was not a particular cause of celebration. It was only part of their plan.

Lu Shu sighed. ?What do we do now? Do we report to the Sword Hut??

Lu Xiaoyu thought about it and said, ?They did not specify when you have to report to them. Furthermore, although your bets have disappeared, the bets of the other candidates have not. Who said that outsiders are not allowed to eliminate Sword Hut candidates??

Lu Shu?s eyes lit up. ?Lu Xiaoyu, you are a genius!?

This time, Lu Shu had thought in the wrong direction. When he heard the news, his first thought was that his business was done for. But with Lu Xiaoyu?s reminder, he suddenly realized… he could still attack the other candidates, as long as he was not caught by the Sword Hut!

Lu Shu was very clear of the reason why the Sword Hut had recruited him in advance. They were worried that he would kill the rest of the candidates, right? But to the Sword Hut, as long as Lu Shu was recruited, he should stop.

But they had underestimated Lu Shu?s pursuit for wealth…

?We can live in that house safely now.? Lu Xiaoyu said, ?Yi Qian, contact the construction workers in the palace. I have a blueprint. They can build the house according to the blueprint. Let?s go take a look at the house.?

Lu Xiaoyu was not too worried about what would happen when Lu Shu joined the Sword Hut. She was only concerned about whether they would have a safe place to stay in the palace. Lu Shu was now part of the Sword Hut. The complaints of the civilians towards Lu Shu would also disappear as Lu Shu had joined the Sword Hut. This was the influence of the Sword Hut.

At first, Lu Xiaoyu was worried that after Lu Shu came, the strange beauty standards in the Luniverse would cause many girls to admire Lu Shu. But now, it seemed that she had worried too much. Lu Shu?s ability to cause others to hate him exceeded his good looks. It had reached a point where his looks did not matter…

But they had to be alert. After all, since Lu Shu had become a disciple of the Sword Hut, his identity would attract the attention of others. But she thought about it. Since Lu Shu was about to enter the Sword Hut, others would not have the opportunity to meet him. She thus calmed down.

The three of them came to the house that the Song Ji gambling den had given Lu Shu. It was in ruins…

When the Song Ji family gave presents, they would definitely give the best gifts. As one of the upper wealthy families, they had to live up to their name. Thus, even the plants in the house were species that were treasured by the Luniverse.

But now, everything had been trampled flat by the rage of the civilians.

At that moment, Lu Shu suddenly turned and looked at the street. Many civilians were secretly looking in their direction behind their doors or through windows. The vendors along the road stopped selling their products. They were focused on Lu Shu and the rest. Lu Shu felt as if he was a panda at the zoo, being observed so intently.

Everyone was curious. This was their first time calmly seeing a calm Lu Shu…

A group of people approached them. They seemed to be the slaves of wealthy families. They carried many red boxes. A young man happily led the way. Those who did not know what was happening would assume that the young man was getting married!

The young man approached Lu Shu. ?I am Tu Le from the West Region. Congratulations on becoming a disciple of the Sword Hut! These are some gifts that the Tu family has prepared for you. Please enjoy them!?

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. The people in the Luniverse were very kind. He felt as if he was the number one scholar in ancient times on Earth. In the past, all of them were strangers. But once he had done well in the imperial examination, all the influential officials started to surround him. They discarded any hatred they had towards him in the past.

Now that he had joined the Sword Hut, his former enemies had come and given him presents to build good relations. It was as if what had happened in the past had never happened at all.

Lu Shu looked at Tu Le. He paused for two seconds. Suddenly, he said, ?What are your odds? It?s impolite if you don?t state your odds in your self-introduction!?

Tu Le?s smile suddenly grew stiff.

?From Tu Le?s distress, +666!?

Tu Le felt a great sense of danger. He silently remembered his own odds. He was sure that if his odds were very high, he would die!

?Yi Qian, could you check how high his odds are now?? Lu Shu turned and asked Yi Qian.

Yi Qian said, ?His odds are rather low. It?s not worth it.?

Lu Shu suddenly smiled at Tu Le. ?Hello, hello, Tu Le from the West Region. I have admired you for a very long time. What did you bring…?

Tu Le looked at the cheerful Lu Shu. He suddenly felt as if his low odds had saved his life.

But he could not understand. He had already joined the Sword Hut. Was he still planning to attack the rest of the Sword Hut candidates? There was no such rule!

But Tu Le thought about it. No one had said that outsiders could not attack the Sword Hut candidates. Even if he was a disciple of the Sword Hut…

?I will take my leave.? Tu Le was panicking beyond belief. He had wanted to rope in Lu Shu. If he joined the Sword Hut, they would be friends. Even if Tu Le did not join the Sword Hut, they knew a disciple of the Sword Hut. Gu Lingfei, one of the Masters of the Sword Hut, had said that Lu Shu?s potential might allow him to advance to the Master Realm. There were only so many Masters in the Luniverse. Who did not want to get to know them?

But it seemed like their roles had not changed much. He was still meat in the eyes of Lu Shu, and Lu Shu was the knife…

If someone asked you for your odds the moment he met you, would you not be scared?
