Chapter 1024: Make a Living as a Performer, But Not Sell Myself
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
One of the mountain ranges in the Changbai Mountains had been leased by the Deities. The contract would last for 30 years.
But there was only one person in the mountain range, Coral.
She had built a wooden house on the mountains. Everyday, she sat in front of the house and watched as the sun rose from the horizon, before sinking below the horizon again. There were times when she would walk to the Heavenly Lake and sit on the branches of the large tree. She would look at the canyon where the sword formation was.
The sword formation was no longer there. The Puppet Masters had just left as well.
Before the Puppet Masters left, they came to the World Tree to say goodbye to Arcane. Arcane could not speak, but could control the veins of the World Tree to form words.
Cloud Yi said, “A new era has begun. If we don’t go back now, we might miss the opening of a grand performance.”
Arcane said, “There are times when I regret what I have done in the past. If you see the king, please tell me that I know I am in the wrong.”
Cloud Yi looked up at the World Tree. “If it is possible, I will plead for you to be released from the World Tree and be given another body.”
The branches and the leaves of the World Tree trembled. A massive leaf lightly stroked Cloud Yi’s head. “There’s no need for that. Everyone has to bear the consequences for their mistakes.”
Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi did not give up. There were times when they felt that this journey to the land of their forefathers was the death of the dirtiest member of the Puppet Masters. Furthermore, the remaining Puppet Masters had united once again.
Their hearts, which had been tainted by power and desire for thousands of years, had been cleansed.
This time, no one would lose their way.
Suddenly, Arcane formed new veins. “How can you bear to leave hotpot meals and return to the Luniverse?”
Cloud Yi felt slightly awkward. Tiger Zhi said, “She fought over 5000 packs of hotpot base. It will be enough to eat for a while.”
Arcane was speechless...
Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi left. Coral walked up from the foot of the mountain. Her platinum hair glittered under the sunlight. She was as pretty as a picture.
It was as if she was the most elegant person in the world. Then, she sat by the Heavenly Lake at the summit of the mountain and looked into the distance.
Arcane suddenly stretched out a leaf in front of her. “Have you regained your memories?”
Coral calmly nodded her head.
“Do you blame me?” Arcane asked.
“I did for a while, but later on, I thought it through,” said Coral with a smile.
“Aren’t you planning to go to the Luniverse and look for him?” Arcane asked.
“Yes, but not now.” Coral said calmly, “Furthermore, he will come back. I know he will.”
The moment Lu Shu walked out of the library, Gu Lingfei glared at him. Lu Shu was worried that Gu Lingfei would attack him, but she did not.
Gu Lingfei observed Lu Shu. He had been in the library for 20 days, but his expression was the same as before. Thus, Gu Lingfei knew that Lu Shu probably had invisible storage equipment that sustained him inside...
“Did you see anything that you should not have seen?” Gu Lingfei asked in a serious tone.
Lu Shu asked curiously, “Was there anything I should not have seen?”
Gu Lingfei was stumped. To be honest, she had treated Lu Shu like an outsider. After all, no sword hut disciple had ever been like Lu Shu.
When Lu Shu went in, the selections had just started. When he came out, the second round of selections had ended.
Surprisingly, the frank Yu Wentao had joined the Sword Hut. On the other hand, Li Fangfeng, who had more plans, had been eliminated in the second round of selections.
Gu Lingfei quite liked people like Yu Wentao.
He was frank and obedient. Furthermore, he attentively refined his swordplay. He was very different from Lu Shu. Lu Shu was only up to trouble!
At that moment, what was happening at the boundary between the West and the North Regions had not reached the ears of the palace. No one knew what was happening there. But the truth would eventually be revealed. The news about the loss of a master and a Rank One soldier would spread like an epidemic.
After the palace had been built, news that a master had died was rare. This would definitely shock the entire Luniverse.
Lu Shu looked at the sky. He was bold and assured. “How long have I been in there?”
Gu Lingfei had a dark expression on her face. “20 days. Today is the Sword Hut ceremony.”
“Ah.” Lu Shu was shocked. “Then we have to hurry up and go! What are we waiting for?”
Gu Lingfei wanted to attack him, but she had received instructions from the senior disciple to wait for him.
She jumped on the black leopard. The more she talked with Lu Shu, the angrier she became, but she could not kill him. The best thing she could do was not talk to him.
Gu Lingfei suddenly said, “The Sword Hut ceremony this time is somewhat strange. Don’t cause any mischief.”
Lu Shu asked, “What’s so strange about it?”
“The East Lord of Heaven, Yu Fuyao, the North Lord of Heaven, Wen Zaifou, the South Lord of Heaven, Qing Kong and the West Lord of Heaven, Duanmu Huangqi, have gathered in the palace. All of them will appear during the Sword Hut ceremony,” said Gu Lingfei.
When Lu Shu heard this, he was shocked. Wait. He thought that only Duanmu Huangqi would come. But now, all four Lords of Heaven had gathered in the palace! A major change was going to occur in the Luniverse!
“Be careful.” Gu Lingfei said, “I don’t know why, but Yu Fuyao specifically requested to see you. Although the Sword Hut had never been afraid of anyone, we cannot hide you. You have to deal with it yourself. But you need to know one thing. Even the four Lords of Heaven cannot do as they wish in the Sword Hut.”
Lu Shu bit his lip. It was easier said than done. Although it seemed like a battle between four masters from the Sword Hut and four Lords of Heaven, the Lords of Heaven had other masters serving them.
If they fought, the Sword Hut would suffer, right?
Lu Shu was puzzled. He had never seen Yu Fuyao. Why did he want to see him?
“Hey. Did Yu Fuyao say why he wanted to meet me?” Lu Shu asked as he walked.
“Oh.” Gu Lingfei sounded amused. “Yu Fuyao has many close relatives and friends. He might even take you in as a handsome male companion.”
Gu Lingfei was not completely joking. Although she detested Lu Shu, she had to admit that Lu Shu was very good-looking.
News about Lu Shu included the fact that he was very good-looking. It was possible that Yu Fuyao remembered this.
Lu Shu’s expression changed. “I can make a living as a performer, but I will not sell myself. Can the Sword Hut protect me? If not, will your reputation be affected?”
From the conversation between Lu Shu and Gu Lingfei, it was obvious that one of them did not treat Lu Shu as a member of the Sword Hut, while the other did not have any sense of belonging.
They had maintained this strange relationship. Gu Lingfei could not understand how this had happened.
