Chapter 952: Grand Occasion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Before Lu Shu set off, he stretched. Li Heitan had crawled under the carriage and planned to secretly follow Lu Shu. But he was discovered and hit by Lu Shu.

Lu Shu said earnestly, “I will explore the path. Once I determine that it is safe, I will call all of you. All of you can stay here and train in peace. Since you are so strong now, you might be of help in the future.”

Li Heitan hurriedly nodded. They just had to wait until the Great Lord called them over!

When Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu joined the trade caravan, the trade caravan did not think much of them. There were typically many aristocrats who joined them as well. All they had to do was pay some fees, and the trade caravan would be responsible for the food and lodging.

When they saw Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu, they did not think too much. Firstly, they had never seen them before. Secondly, they did not expect that the head of Nangeng City would appear now. Furthermore, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu did not look like the heads of a city...

The Bishop drove the cart. The Bishop, who was now a Rank One, had become the strongest labor force for Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu. They used the Bishop to drive carts and go on sentry duty. After all, when night fell, most of the trade caravans would camp outdoors. Lu Shu could not rest easy if there was no one to wake him up when he slept. He and Lu Xiaoyu had not advanced to Rank One. Thus, they did not have the ability to sense when other people were looking at them.

The people in the trade caravan did not speak to Lu Shu or Lu Xiaoyu. They saw each other as business partners. All they had to do was send Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu to the palace. Their identities were not important and had nothing to do with them.

To them, great experts would not tag along with them. Those who did were people who were afraid of bandits. Why would experts be afraid of bandits?

The trade caravan had probably never thought that they had brought a bandit along with them... furthermore, he was a very famous bandit...

Before Lu Shu joined the trade caravan, he knew that the strongest person was only a Rank Two. Thus, he could completely disregard any threats from the trade caravan. After all, Johnson, Anthony, and the Bishop were all Rank Ones.

Even if there were many rich and wealthy families in the Luniverse, there were few children of such families who were protected by three Rank Ones... or even none.

Over 20 other people had joined the trade caravan after paying a fee, but none of them traveled as far as Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu did. However, the trade caravan would pick up such “passengers” along the way. Thus, there were always new people who joined them.

In the day, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu sat in the carriage as they traveled. Lu Xiaoyu would sit beside the Bishop, bored to death as her legs swayed outside the carriage. On the other hand, Lu Shu sat inside and trained his swordplay.

He sat cross-legged inside the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. There was a newly broken tree branch on his knees. Similar to the previous time, the leaves were still on the tree branch.

It was as if Lu Shu no longer had to move when he trained his swordplay. The sword energy stayed in his heart, ready to appear at his call. Occasionally, the branch on his knees would tremble, but remained unscathed throughout.

At the same time, Spirit Qi from the heaven and the earth gathered within his body. It strengthened his muscles and body.

If someone from the Sword Hut was beside him, they would be astonished. Even in the Sword Hut, no one was able to give up on external swordplay training and train their internal sword energy before they had advanced to Rank One.

Lu Xiaoyu swung her legs outside and listened to the discussion among the trade caravan. If their journey went smoothly, they would be able to witness the grand selection of the Sword Hut.

The leader of the trade caravan laughed and said, “The Sword Hut selection is always a grand occasion. It was even more lively than the New Year celebrations. The disciples of the Sword Hut would display their extraordinary skills. The small practitioners would finally have the opportunity to view and learn from expert practitioners.”

The disciples of the Sword Hut from outside regions would return as well. Although some areas were engaged in war, the leaders of the armies, who were also disciples of the Sword Hut, would stop the war. Even if they were enemies on the battlefield, they would call one another brothers in the Sword Hut.

War was for the sake of benefits. But the mysterious thing was that even wars that involved life and death could not severe the friendships between disciples of the Sword Hut.

Lu Xiaoyu heard this and pouted. “What is so ideal about that?”

When the rest heard this, they laughed and said, “Young lady, you are going to the palace as well. When you reach the palace, you will understand that the Sword Hut is a mysterious place.”

Lu Xiaoyu pouted again. According to these people, places like the Sword Hut did not compete for benefits. They were able to maintain the Sword Hut because of the sacrifices made by their disciples. Furthermore, the Sword Hut prohibited making the head of the Sword Hut divine. It was as if the Sword Hut was something that had been created casually. They did not do much other than fight for the King of Gods.

Only mad people would do something that benefited others, but not themselves. This was what Lu Xiaoyu thought.

But when they talked about the Sword Hut, Lu Xiaoyu thought about how Lu Shu wanted to become a disciple of the Sword Hut that they had thought about. As they spoke about how amazing and honorable the disciples of the Sword Hut were, she suddenly became happy.

Rationally, with Lu Shu’s current identity, Lu Xiaoyu did not care about whether he would be able to join the Sword Hut as a disciple. She was just happy.

In her mind, if Lu Shu wanted to become a disciple of the Sword Hut, it was definitely possible.

The trade caravan liked to call their passengers “employers” to display their respect to them. Suddenly, one of the employers asked curiously, “You must have had many passengers while traveling to the north. Were there any interesting incidents and people?”

“Ha ha.” The leader of the trade caravan said, “Of course, Three years ago, a son of an aristocrat in the East said with great arrogance that he was chosen for the Sword Hut selections and was going there. We brought him all the way there. And then? When he reached the palace, he was so scared that he begged us to bring him home. Ha ha, not everyone can go to the Sword Hut selections!”

“Are the goods that you typically transport valuable?” The middle-aged employer asked.

“It’s not worth much.” The leader suddenly lowered his tone. “We buy and sell items at a profit. How much money can we earn from that?”

The leader knew not to openly flaunt their wealth. But Lu Xiaoyu, as a manager before she became the head of Nangeng City, knew that this trade caravan was very powerful. They were part of the top five in terms of stocks. The Song family did not even buy as many products as they did.

When Lu Xiaoyu recalled how Zhang Weiyu and the rest handed over the accounts to her, she was angry. Why was their mathematics so poor? They could not even balance accounts?!

Suddenly, someone asked Xiaoyu, “Young lady, are you going to the palace? What’s wrong? Are you staying over at the palace?”

The leader suddenly asked curiously, “Are you participating in the Sword Hut selections?”

Hm? When the leader mentioned this, it seemed very possible. Some time had passed since the Wei Wu Army had submitted their nominations. The Wei Wu Army was stationed in Nangeng City, right? The two of them had joined the trade caravan at Nangeng City.
