Chapter 252: Mr. Lu Xun (Part One)

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Chen Zuan turned his gaze to Lu Shu. This youth is actually a lieutenant too, and an Class C lieutenant at that! Seems like his military achievement is beyond question.

But there is only one question … if he is already promoted to a lieutenant, why only a Class C? Is his aptitude not up to mark?

The fact is, if a person is able to distinguish oneself in the family, surely, he or she would not be an easy character to be reckoned with. No family would want to disgrace themselves by letting out those who were too dumb.

To tell the truth, Chen Zuan was a little envious of Jiang Shuyi and Lu Shu. Not envious because Jiang obtained the method to promotion, but that he was at where the remains were being opened.

Chen Zuan felt that had he entered the remains, he would have succeeded too. Hence, his presence here now.

Sometimes the mentality determines one’s behavior. Ordinary Daoyuan Class students associated the remains to danger. To enter would spell certain death and thus they were afraid.

But to the child of a familial clan like Chen Zuan, the remains were an opportunity.

All of a sudden, the youth who had been making his bed in silence suddenly straightened up and said, “Have any of you distinguished yourselves at the remains? I am Gao Shenyin, Lieutenant, Class D, Junior Class. I fought in the border battles before.”

Chen Zuan chuckled quietly at that point. The frostiness for the better half of a day, was it because he detests me?

There was such a divide within the circle of children: those who had fought in battles looked down somewhat upon those who have not. To them, the latter are all greenhouse flowers, without the guts.

Such situations were all the more apparent in the military compound, with some even flaunting their battle scars proudly and ignoring those who have never fought before.

All that this group of people would think about all day was where could they go for the next battle.

For instance, when Chen Zuan introduced himself earlier, Gao Shenyin immediately knew that he had never fought in a battle before and promptly ignored his presence. However, Gao immediately warmed to Jiang Shuyi and Lu Shu when they arrived upon knowing that they, too, had fought and distinguished themselves in battles.

Lu Shu chuckled in reply, “Yes, yes, I’ve fought at the remains before. Good day to you!”

He thought, are all these people big clients? Should I go buy a book on marketing when I return to learn how to protect them? historical

“Why are you still a Class E?” Gao Shenyin asked, confused. “Were you not rewarded with the power?”

“Ah,” Lu Shu smiled. “I am a Class E power-type Awakened Person. In terms of practice, too low a level isn’t worth mentioning.”

Both Chen Zuan and Gao Shenyin were momentarily stunned. It was indeed rare to encounter an Awakened One.

Under the normal circumstance, everyone mainly focused on cultivation. Only a lucky few would be trained both in cultivation and awakening, thus belonging to the select group groomed exclusively as the increase in cultivation level would mean the same for the level of awakening.

It’s really rare to encounter one with such unique circumstance like Lu Shu’s technique of awakening…is something awry?

Chen Zuan suddenly felt that something was amiss and inquired cautiously, “Which clan do you belong to?”

Lu Shu was taken aback, why mention family and clan all of a sudden.

He gave a deep sigh and replied, “The clan of buried love.”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +333!”

What is this crap about the clan of buried love! I’m asking which clan do you hail from!

However, before he could explain, Lu Shu chortled merrily, “I’m not like all of you, I don’t belong to any clan.”

There is really no need to to deny such things. Or should one come up with a fabricated clan to appear superior and posh like Chen Zuan? Don’t think there’s such a need.

If one can cultivate up to Grade A, anybody could have come up with their own clans…

This is still a world where the truths prevail everywhere where the fist is within reach.

When Chen Zuan realised that Lu Shu was merely an ordinary student of Daoyuan Class, his desire to befriend him waned slightly. After all, how far can an Awakened Person without background go?

But Gao Shenyin was different. As long as the person is ready to fight and shed blood, he would be willing to befriend him despite his background. This youth with his resolute look seemed to have a relatively simple world view.

He was simply standing there, body as erect as a rifle propped up.

The group had finally broken the ice. Jiang Shuyi stood by the side, listening quietly, not uttering a word.

Chen Zuan and Gao Shenyin were a little awkward and their conversation almost crashed. Chen enjoyed talking about supercars whereas Gao was interested in chatting about where would there be possibilities of battles and where else can one open up new remains. Evidently, when two have nothing in common, every word is one too many.

In the end, Chen Zuan called Gao Shenyin a rash fellow while Gao called Chen a gilded youth, a flippant flower from the greenhouse

Lu Shu voiced his agreement with both of them.

In actual fact, the impression of the children from the clans was misleading. After knowing them better, one would realise that they are nothing more than a bunch of underage teenagers.

This was an awkward age whereby they were not considered childish, yet could only feign sophistication and maturity.

Chen Zuan suddenly joked, half-seriously, “Lu Shu, why did you bring your children here? Haven’t Lu Xun said that one must travel light when going for battles?”

Lu Shu said, eyebrows raised, “Did Mr. Lu Xun ever say that?”

“Mr. Lu Xun said so many things in his lifetime, who knows what did he truly say or not? How about you shout him here so we can ask?” Chen Zuan chortled.

“It’s probably very tough to ask him here.” Lu Shu sighed deeply then continued, “but I can probably send you to him…”

“From Chen Zuan’s distress, +666!”

Lu Shu brought Lu Xiaoyu out for meal. Lu Xiaoyu looked up curiously, “Lu Shu, can I enter the remains? I am so much more capable than that Chen Zuan. In a few days’ time, he probably can’t even beat Xiao Xiongxu…”

Upon hearing that, Xiao Xiongxu instantly puffed out his chest and held his head high before Lu Xiaoyu.

“Aren’t you a little too disdainful towards the those from the clans? You never know, he may have some special skills up his sleeves and even if he can’t summon any powers, he may still be able to obtain some special instruments. However, it is indeed true that he is no match for you, neither is Gao Shenyin. After all, considering your spirit, you are already possessing the capability of two D-Grade experts.” Lu Shu said thoughtfully.

However, despite Lu Xiaoyu’s impressive power and the fact that Lu Shu also wished to bring her around to play at the remains, the question was how could he do it?

He may be able to use his ties with Jiang Shuyi to get her in, but it is utterly impossible to get her into the remains.

Lu Shu certainly was not the overly protective kind. The basic consensus between the two as they grew up together was to share both happiness and pains together. Still, Lu Shu would bear the greater part of any burden, for he was the elder brother.

However, it was not in her character for Lu Xiaoyu to live on her brother like a parasite. She could not stand the situation either and so was willing to help him set up a stall, wash his clothes and handle some simple housework, willing to help bear his burden … to fight alongside him.

Lu Shu, on the other hand, knew that Lu Xiaoyu was willing to.
