Chapter 968: Panic

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At first, Lu Shu had wondered why the Luniverse did not use gold and silver as hard currency. At first, they had used magical stones. After they standardized the currency, they used notes. Now, they even used silver needles to test for poison.

After a long time, he realized that the old King of Gods had copied this from Water Margin 1...

Lu Shu tried to explain the reasoning behind using silver needles to test for poison. He told them that it was not an accurate indicator. But Lu Shu felt that based on their level of education, he would not be able to properly explain it to them.

Sun Zhongyang was a famous scholar from the palace. He was an outstanding student in the Imperial College who excelled in both morals and studies. He never expected to be treated as an uneducated person by Lu Shu...

“There is no way to test for poison,” said Sun Zhongyang. “But I will not allow human lives to be used to test for poison! The Sun family will not gamble with human lives!”

Lu Shu realized that the expression of the girls around Sun Zhongyang had changed. They all adored Sun Zhongyang. They were willing to devote their lives to him.

The differences in the innate nature of Sun Zhongyang and the other playboys were evident after a problem occurred. Lu Shu cheerily observed this. He quite admired Sun Zhongyang. In the past, he had thought that the people in the palace did not think highly of human lives.

Lu Shu let go. “Then, if you are not willing to test for poison, you will definitely not eat food from the outside world. Am I right?”

Sun Zhongyang nodded his head. “That is true. But we have run out of food in the trade caravan. We have to find a solution.”

“We can’t starve either.” Mo Xiaoya looked very worried. “It will take at least half a month to reach the palace.”

“But without testing for poison, we cannot eat food from the outside world,” said someone.

Spies and food became the worry of the trade caravan. Putting spies aside, food was the most urgent matter.

Suddenly, someone realized that although they had been injured, they still felt fine. How did they become so melancholic overnight? What was the reason?

When everyone carefully thought about it, they suddenly realized that it was all because of Lu Shu...

Lu Shu had told them about the spies. He had also told them that the food might contain poison. Was he intentionally trying to cause panic in the trade caravan? But why would he do so?

Mo Xiaoya looked at one of the others. They had been worried about whether Le Yulu would bribe them. With his greedy personality, it was not impossible!

Thus, Sun Zhongyang and the rest could not help but suspect that Lu Shu was the source of panic in the trade caravan!

Sun Zhongyang calmly asked Lu Shu, “What should we do now?”

He wanted to push this question to Lu Shu and try to find clues from his solution!

At that moment, Lu Shu looked at Sun Zhongyang and the rest. He paused for two seconds before saying, “My price for grains is fair and reasonable. It is enough for everyone...”

“From Sun Zhongyang’s distress, +777!”

“From Mo Xiaoya’s distress, +999!” historical

“From...”

Sun Zhongyang and Mo Xiaoya were very angry. Everyone was guessing why Lu Shu had tried to get everyone involved in the panic. Everyone had thought about the worst possible scenario. But he had spent so much effort only to sell his grains!

Mo Xiaoya laughed coldly. “Your greed has exceeded my expectations. Is the money you will earn from grains worth all this effort?”

Lu Shu was puzzled. “The meager amount of money I will earn from selling grains?”

“What? Are you thinking of selling your grains at an exorbitant price?” Mo Xiaoya laughed coldly.

Lu Shu patiently explained, “You don’t quite understand me...”

“From Mo Xiaoya’s distress, +666!”

The entire trade caravan had mixed feelings. Song Bo felt that ever since Lu Shu had joined the trade caravan, many annoying things had happened.

When Lu Shu talked about selling his grains, everyone realized that Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu might have invisible storage equipment.

The identities of Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu became more mysterious.

At first, Mo Xiaoya had said that Lu Shu was poor. Thus, he was greedy. Although Lu Shu’s power was mysterious, he definitely did not have any background or experience. They could sense this, as Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu felt that many things were new.

But now... they even had invisible storage equipment!

Even for Sun Zhongyang, he was only gifted a space ring after he had officially advanced to Rank One.

Out of the twelve of them, only two possessed invisible storage equipment. After all, they were not the only children of their families.

The possession of invisible storage equipment became a dividing line among the children of the palace. If one had invisible storage equipment, this meant that they were valued by their families and had the right of authority.

But Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu had such a rare item... and not just two of them!

At first, when Lu Shu had killed seven Rank Two experts at Port Artyom, he thought that he would be able to obtain one or two pieces of invisible storage equipment. But he did not obtain any.

But there had always been a space ring that Lu Shu had kept. It was the space ring that Lu Shu had obtained when he killed Howard.

The mask that allowed Lu Shu to change his appearance also had a space within it, but Lu Shu had never thought of using it as an invisible storage equipment.

Thus... the combined wealth of Sun Zhongyang and the rest did not even come close to Lu Shu’s wealth. But Sun Zhongyang and the rest were not able to accept this answer...

In the end, Song Bo spent a few hundred thousand notes to buy 300 kilograms of grains and some preserved vegetables from Lu Xiaoyu.

Mo Xiaoya and the rest saw the words “Long Meng Army” printed on the packets of grain.

Mo Xiaoya softly said to Sun Zhongyang, “So he was from the Long Meng Army!”

The Wei Wu Army had obtained grains from two armies, the Long Meng Army and the aristocrat armies. They had stolen grains from the aristocrat armies in a commotion. If the packets of grain they had stolen had the seal of an aristocrat family on them, the identities of Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu would have been exposed.

But when Lu Xiaoyu had stolen grains from the Long Meng Army, she had done so by sinking the trucks underground. Even the Long Meng Army had thought that it was the doing of the Black Feather Army. Thus, they wiped out the spies from the Black Feather Army, resulting in a great war...

Thus, no one knew that the Long Meng Army had been robbed by the Wei Wu Army...

Back then, the Long Meng Army and the Black Feather Army engaged in a very vicious fight with each other. Lu Xiaoyu still felt that everything was under control...

“That should be the case. If not, why would he have grains from the Long Meng Army?” Sun Zhongyang nodded his head. “He might have trained in the Long Meng Army.”

Sun Zhongyang was certain that Lu Shu was from the rear mountain of the Sword Hut and had trained in the Long Meng Army.

“No wonder he is willing to betray the commander of the Wei Wu Army. I heard that the Long Meng Army has a grudge against the Wei Wu Army for looking on at their troubles with indifference.” Sun Zhongyang finally found a reasonable explanation for Lu Shu...

Mo Xiaoya furrowed her eyebrows. “He’s just doing it for money!”
