Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

No one had thought that the price war they had been looking forward to would end in such a commotion. In the eyes of the secret practitioners, the Route 301 black market had won this one. But for some reason, they had stopped sales and no longer provided magical stones.

Suddenly, it was all clear to the secret practitioners. It seemed as if their Lord had bought the magical stones just to trick the big families!

After the meeting between the families ended, Lu Shu sat in the office of the Route 301 black market, deep in thought. The door suddenly opened and Nalan Que stomped in.

Nalan Que fiercely asked, “Where is Li Yixiao?”

Lu Shu laughed. “He went to drink with Uncle Gao.”

The secret practitioners outside curiously peered in. Nalan Que slammed the door shut with a bang. The moment the door closed, Nalan Que flashed a smile. “How was my acting? Anyone can stir up trouble. As we have discussed, give me the jade from the Li family. I’ll exchange it with my Vajra. And you’d better make up for the price difference between 400 thousand yuan per piece and 340 thousand yuan per piece. It’ll be best if you made it up in magical stones.”

Lu Shu threw the jade towards Nalan Que. He did not provide divine water to the jade because Nalan Que had said that she wanted to exchange her Vajra for the jade.

She had worked together with Lu Shu and Li Yixiao to act in front of the rest of the families. This was one of her conditions.

Lu Shu could see how deeply Nalan Que felt towards Li Yixiao. But Lu Shu was curious. “Is that piece of jade so important?”

“What do you know?” Nalan Que glanced at Lu Shu and wore the jade around her neck. She gently adjusted it so that it would be in contact with her body.

If the Li family saw this, they would immediately understand what role the Nalan family played in this deal. She was the one who had suggested that they put up magical stones. She was also the one who backed others up. Once the Nalan family put out magical stones, the rest of the families would have to follow suit.

There was a private alliance among the families. But Nalan Que had immediately decided to make an alliance with Li Yixiao. They still had feelings for each other.

Lu Shu felt that he could not underestimate a girl’s desire to look good. Even a masculine woman like Nalan Que wanted to find a way to get her hands on a jade that could preserve youthful looks...

“Okay.” Nalan Que waved. “I will take my leave. Tell Li Yixiao if he dares to touch another woman, it’s the end for him.”

After she finished speaking, Nalan Que returned to her fierce manner and stormed out of the room. All of this was an act.

After Lu Shu finished dealing with this final matter, he heaved a sigh of relief. Nothing had been going his way since he returned. First he had to choose whether he wanted to take up the position of Heavenly King. After rejecting Nie Ting, Nie Ting intentionally made things hard for him. He did not allow Lu Shu to proceed to the Cultivation College...

Was the aim of selling these magical stones to earn money? That was only one factor. To speak the truth, Lu Shu was not lacking in money. But he did not get the mythical objects or weapons he had wanted from the families, thus this deal was of little value to him.

On the other hand, he had wanted, from the bottom of his heart, to create a large affair to humiliate Nie Ting. It was that simple.

Lu Shu was someone who bore grudges. Nie Ting had made him miss the exam and refused to pick up his calls. Even if Nie Ting was the strongest in the East, Lu Shu could not bear this humiliation.

He had definitely made a lot of contributions on this trip to Japan. Not only had he been promoted to Captain, he had even made outstanding contributions. Just because Nie Ting wanted to make him in charge of overseas relations, thus he could deliberately humiliate Lu Shu?

For what reason?!

Liu Xiu did not mind facing danger. In reality, he felt that there was more to gain overseas. But he did not want bear the lives of Liu Xiu and the others on his shoulders while doing his work. He could not forgive this! historical

So what was all this for!

Lu Shu had been sitting in the office, seemingly deep in thought. In reality, he was waiting for Nie Ting’s distress points!

What made Lu Shu somewhat unhappy was that he had not received any distress points from Nie Ting...

Since he had peacefully left the Capital, he had thought about this. He was not done. Lu Shu had to oppose Nie Ting’s supremacy till the end. He wanted to see who could last longer...

If it were someone else, they would give in after just one strike from the Heavenly Network leader. But Lu Shu would not give in!

Lu Shu knew that even if he had money, Nie Ting could also freeze his bank account within minutes. But Lu Shu was very clear of Nie Ting’s and Shi Xuejin’s behavior. He had known them for a long time. Even if his account was frozen, he could talk his way out of it.

Nie Ting could control Lu Shu because he knew that Lu Shu was not unethical. At least, he would not rebel against the Heavenly Network. He would not commit a heinous crime.

Lu Shu’s current courage came from the knowledge that Nie Ting dealt with things in an official way. The current conflict was that he did not want to be a Heavenly King, but Nie Ting insisted on him being one.

Others would think that Lu Shu was crazy. Becoming the Heavenly King was a good thing. Why was he so troublesome even after such good things had been sent his way? But Lu Shu was different. He did not want to be forced to do something.

It was at this moment that Lu Shu’s phone rang. Lu Shu glanced at it and saw that Shi Xuejin was calling him. Ha ha, he would not pick up.

Where did you go when I called you the previous time? And now you are the one calling me?

As his phone stopped ringing, Lu Shu received a message from Shi Xuejin. “What are you doing!??! Pick up the phone!”

“From Shi Xuejin’s distress, +999!”

Lu Shu was dizzy with happiness. This was the first time he saw Shi Xuejin so agitated. He had received distress points from Shi Xuejin. But why not from Nie Ting?

Another call came. Lu Shu waited for ten seconds before picking up the phone. “Hello? Heavenly King Shi? Last time when I tried to call you, no one picked up. I was still worried that something had happened to you.”

“From Shi Xuejin’s distress, +999!”

“I’m fine. Can I ask you how many magical stones you have?” Shi Xuejin was dumbfounded.

“You see, wasn’t Heavenly King Li selling them? It has nothing to do with me,” Lu Shu laughed.

“Cut the nonsense. What do you want? A letter of admission?” Shi Xuejin was rarely so irritable... Nie Ting had only been at the Changbai mountains for a few days, and a serious incident had occurred. Shi Xuejin did not know what to tell Nie Ting when he returned.

“A letter of admission? What letter of admission?” Lu Shu acted surprised. “Haven’t I missed the admission period? I was thinking about it. Rules are rules. The Heavenly Network could not possibly give me a special advantage...”

“You...” Shi Xuejin held back from saying obscenities.

“From Shi Xuejin’s distress, +1000!”

“Let’s put school affairs aside for now. Recently I lost a tool, did you see it around? Help me find it...” Lu Shu said casually.

Shi Xuejin was dumbfounded. This was extortion!
