“Xiaoyu, are we now…still going to look for Lu Shu? At such unearthly hour…” Chen Zuan asked curiously. Now that the military merit he long dreamed of was his, all he wished was simply to wait it out in the remains with no mishap. Moreover, the task of locating the Matrix Eye had got nothing much to do with him.

Chen Zuan hailed from the capital. The youths there were highly competitive, to the point that even the girls started to look at military ranks and capabilities. Hence, Chen Zuan had forced himself to approach his family to fight for the chance to come here. The old man at home even praised him at that time. Sadly, his application for a master to accompany him was rejected by his father…

Truth be told, Chen Zuan’s family viewed practitioners in very high regards. In terms of hospitality, everything was of the highest standard. After all, with masters like Nie Ting who stand superior, a sensible person would understand that one a person’s capabilities became extraordinary, innate power class would be utterly incapable of looking them straight in the eyes.

In the words of Chen Zuan’s father, if a true master was only used as a mere bodyguard, the person may not say anything now as they have not attained Nie Ting’s level of near-detachment, but what about in the future?

Actually Chen Zuan also understood that his words were indeed correct. After all, any master hired into the family would not have much sense of belonging to them.

Now, various families were eagerly cultivating their own children as outstanding practitioners, what for? It was to sue the resources they were possessing to push out a truly successful person. Only when one’s own family members were powerful could it be truly considered stable and steady.

Now that Chen Zuan had the merit, when he return home, the rank of Lieutenant would definitely be awarded to him. Also, he would definitely earn himself the power to go beyond Class D. This was enough.

To be honest, Chen Zuan had never dared to think too high. If he found out about the rank of the military merit sold to him by Lu Xiaoyu, he probably would laugh at the present him…

Just with his Class E capabilities now, he would never dare to dream of the Class B level. Moreover, how could a Class B possibly be killed by Lu Xiaoyu with just a blow? What a joke.

More than that, he started to feel that Lu Xiaoyu and her brother Lu Shu both were both a little petty. If an IOU is written, are they worried the Chen family would not pay up? Why so worried?

Lu Xiaoyu was adhering strictly to Lu Shu’s words. However, this was also a character limitation of Lu Shu. He only believed in what he owned in his hands right now. Writing an IOU was of course possible, one simply had to claim after getting out of the remains.

However, to two commoner siblings, would it really be possible to claim their debts from the rich?

Lu Shu never believed in the word “credibility”. Impossible to believe.

He only trusted himself, and Lu Xiaoyu.

Actually, Lu Shu was very clear that this could be considered a character flaw of his. Therefore, he would always say that it was a limitation of his, but he was not to concerned.

A wrong may not always have to be corrected.

Lu Xiaoyu sat down once again on the huge head of Naughty Pig, “If you want to stay here alone, by all means go ahead.”

Chen Zuan turned around to look at the deep, dark forest and laughed immediately, “Of course I will go find Lu Shu with you. Am I such a selfish person?”

“Heh heh,” Lu Xiaoyu chuckled and raised her head. “Naughty Pig, let’s go!” Now, she wanted more than anything to tell Lu Shu that the escaping Class B master had already been killed by her punch. Also, his soul had been obtained. If Lu Shu finds out that she captured yet another Class B soul, he would surely compliment her!

“Wait a moment, wait,” Chen Zuan forced himself get into the path of the Naughty Pig and halted it. “Xiaoyu, you are not certain that it was Lu Shu battling just now. Also, from the sound of it, it should not be too far from here. It’s now only an hour away from daybreak, it would still be okay if we wait for an hour before moving.”

Lu Xiaoyu furrowed her brows. Every single minute, she felt like beating up this little fatty who always crapall over the place…

Of course she was certain that one of the fighters in front was Lu Shu. She had searched through the Class B master’s memory fragments.

However, from the look of the fragments, she could be sure that Lu Shu was safe.

Lu Xiaoyu sank into deep thoughts. Should we go find now? To be honest, it was not very convenient to bring Chen Zuan along because in her heart, she did not want to let Chen Zuan find out that actually these trees would not attack her. This was a great secret between Lu Shu and her.

Moreover, she had yet to break through the second Celestial Cloud. If she wanted to capture another soul, the previous black coloured soul would naturally disappear. She could be considered to be in her weakest state now. The wild animals bound by her would probably not be able to last long against the monster trees too.

Her urgency to find Lu Shu at all cost just now was because she was worried for his safety. Now that she knew he was safe and sound, she naturally would start to consider other things.

Lu Shu had said, the secrets she harboured could not be exposed.

“Okay, then let’s wait an hour,” Lu Xiaoyu dismounted from Naughty Pig’s head. Chen Zuan and wild animals all heaved a sigh of relief…

She knew the location of Lu Shu and Chen Baili anyway.

…

In this point in time, Lu Shu was scraping the earth…

When his quarry dived into the ground and escaped, Lu Shu took back Corpsedog and Concealed Arrow, only to realise in shock that the white sands were still caked over them.

Lu Shu knew very well that these special white sand were used as body armour by the white man, and towards the end was even used as a killing weapon. The sand were certainly extraordinary.

Furthermore, there were actually strong magical waves on the sand. Such a small handful of sand was actually comparable to the Black Dragon long spear seen in the Beimang remains.

Therefore, the street-smart Lu Shu carefully kept all these sand into his seal of lands. Not only that, he even went back to pick up another handful of sand used by the opponent to attack him… He almost went blind searching for the specks but only managed to find a mere half of what there were!

Still, to find even a single grain is one earned. Lu Shu was still very happy. When he looked at the white sand in the Seal, he felt a great sense of achievement…these were all his and Lu Xiaoyu’s assets!

Even though he did not know what use could these things have, to keep them was still a good decision. Who knows if they could be sold in the future?

Little did Lu Shu know that these white sands were themselves of the same value as the earth-system weapons the Class B master risked his life for.

After collecting all the sand, Lu Shu began to fret again. When he leapt into the air to fire the barrage of spears, it had ploughed the earth once over and inflicted critical blows upon the white master..

Come to think of the image, Lu Shu must have looked really cool just now!

However, what about after he was done being cool? All the spears had penetrated deep into the ground!

Holy crap! If the spears could not be retrieved, Lu Shu would be beyond pain and grief!

In the future, he could not afford to be such a wastrel. He should be more cautious when throwing the spears!

With great effort, he finally dug out the spears from the ground after a full half hour of digging with the handled longsword from the Seals of Lands. This miser only thought of something else at that moment…Chen Baili, the old Taoist priest, all alone at the clearing after being left behind by Lu Shu. Would he run into any danger?
