“When should we make our move?” Someone in the corner asked.
Although their objectives were different, and they had different plans, since they were going to the same place, they should act as soon as possible.
Everyone had been trained in the army. They did not want to waste any time. Li Fangfeng laughed. “Now. Let’s eliminate him as quickly as possible and prevent any delays.”
“Sure,” said someone.
They were well suited for one another as they all had similar thoughts. Everyone immediately headed towards Lu Shu’s residence. Li Fangfeng observed the number of people. He knew that some people had not been notified. Some people had not come even after being notified. But there were already around 30 people here. It would not be much of a problem to eliminate Lu Shu.
Li Fangfeng was somber. He wanted to kill Lu Shu at an appropriate opportunity. The Sword Hut did not prohibit the killing of others. It was not rare for people to die before the selections began.
They did not make a huge uproar while they traveled on the roads. Instead, they jumped across rooftops. It was better to lie low. After all, there were hidden dangers in the palace.
Those who traveled on the roads could sense the complex relationship between the candidates. Some grouped together and defended themselves against the others. Some hid in the dark and observed the situation. There were all sorts of relationships.
The Li residence, where Li Fangfeng had situated the meeting at, was not too far away from Lu Shu’s residence, He had decided on this location to allow them to act more easily.
Thus, not long after, they arrived at a roof near Lu Shu’s residence. But all of them were dumbfounded. “It can’t be?!”
“How exaggerated!” Someone was shocked.
Lu Shu sat in the courtyard and waited. Yi Qian stood behind Lu Shu and protected him. He did not mind this dull job.
To be honest, Lu Shu was not used to Yi Qian protecting him like this. He wanted to let Yi Qian rest. But Yi Qian said that back then, when he was an Imperial Dragon Soldier, he guarded the palace of the King of Gods in eight hour shifts. They could not even move. This was nothing to him.
Originally, the courtyard was dusty. Everywhere inside and outside the house was covered in a layer of dust. But Anthony was adept at this. He easily swept all the dust away.
Lu Xiaoyu was busy as well. She calculated that they would be in the palace for a relatively long time. After all, it would not be easy finding the route back home. If the disciples of the Sword Hut were able to break through the barrier between the two worlds, it would be slightly easier for them to do so.
Thus, she decorated this house as if it were their new house. Even when Lu Shu was training his swordplay, she would think about what decorations to place around the house.
Lu Shu opened his eyes and glanced at Lu Xiaoyu. “Has everything been prepared?”
He was referring to Anthony, the Bishop, and Johnson. If many candidates came this time, Lu Shu would not be able to handle them alone. Lu Xiaoyu had to join in to make it even.
Lu Xiaoyu looked at her account book. She did not even look up. “Yes.”
“This time, we will capture the candidates all in one go. There are probably only a few of them who are not coming,” said Lu Shu. He was very pleased with himself. “The Song Ji gambling den has relayed this information to us. Everything is as predicted. The Li family is the one in charge who has gathered a majority of the candidates to attack me. They are now discussing at the Li family residence. Heh heh, I’m waiting for them to come! The new bet set by the Song Ji gambling den should have earned us enough money.”
Lu Xiaoyu thought about it and said, “Rationally, everything should go well. But for some reason, I feel that since this is your plan, some accident might happen…”
“From Lu Shu’s distress, +666!”
Lu Shu was unhappy. “You don’t trust me.”
“No.” Lu Xiaoyu looked up and calmly looked at Lu Shu. “I am respecting history.”
Yi Qian looked at Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu in doubt. He felt that there was something wrong, but he could not figure out where. It was as if… there was something vague about Lu Xiaoyu’s identity, but he could not figure out exactly where. It was as if something had not been worked out.
At that moment, someone jumped into the courtyard. But the moment he landed, the ground stretched out like two hands, grabbing him.
But this person was not weak. He exerted some force and broke through the two hands.
Suddenly, the hands regained their shape and attacked. This time, they were even more ferocious!
“Wait! I am here to help you!” The young man shouted. He had sensed that the one attacking him underground was a Rank One! He did not think that Lu Shu would have a Rank One protecting him. Furthermore, there was more than one Rank One!
No wonder he dared to fight the rest of the Sword Hut candidates!
Lu Shu signaled to Lu Xiaoyu for her to stop. But Lu Xiaoyu did not truly have the intention to attack, nor did Yi Qian. But there was something heroic about a Rank One going up against four Rank Ones.
Lu Shu curiously asked, “Who are you?”
“You should’ve heard of me!” The young man smoothed out his messy hair and stood with a dignified aura. “I am ranked fourth on the list! I’m Yu Wentao!”
Lu Shu was puzzled. “You know where I’m ranked, right?”
Yu Wentao thought about it and said, “First.”
“Then why are you trying to compete with me?” Lu Shu could not understand.
“From Yu Wentao’s distress, +666!”
Lu Shu nodded his head. He had confirmed that this young man was indeed Yu Wentao.
But he was still confused. “Why are you here? Are you the only one?”
“I’m here to tell you that Li Fangfeng has gathered many candidates. They are heading here now. Hurry up and leave. Remember to repay me,” said Yu Wenato. He seemed very pleased with himself.
Lu Shu sighed. “What an honest and frank child. Are the adults in your family okay with you participating in the Sword Hut selections?”
He was not helping Lu Shu. Yu Wentao hated the Li family for buying the ranking for him. Thus, he intentionally came here to settle this…
Lu Shu did not know the hate between the Yu family and the Li family…
When Yu Wentao heard Lu Shu’s words, he was unhappy. “I am helping you out of my goodwill. Who are you to speak?”
Lu Shu suddenly said, “Don’t you know that every candidate that has seen me has been eliminated?”
“From Yu Wentao’s distress, +666!”
Yu Wentao turned and tried to run, but realized that he had been surrounded. There was extreme danger all around him!
But at that moment, Lu Shu, Lu Xiaoyu, Yi Qian, and Yu Wentao all heard a massive uproar outside the courtyard.
Suddenly, the fight in the courtyard stopped. Lu Shu jumped up the wall and looked out. “What?!”
Lu Shu gasped in shock!
He was surrounded by a crowd of citizens from the palace. Their eyes were full of hatred. Some people were even drenched. They seemed as if they had just climbed out of the Long Yin River…
Lu Shu looked up and saw Li Fangfeng and the rest on the rooftops. They had followed this crowd… there were enemies everywhere…
Li Fangfeng wanted to immediately attack Lu Shu, but they could not squeeze in! There were far too many people who wanted to kill Lu Shu!
