Chapter 81: To kill him no matter what

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Before Lu Shu arrived at the location where he sold stinky tofu, he had received distress points from Li Xianyi which led him to realize what an intelligent choice it was to leave Lu Xiaoyu with him.

Of course, he was unaware of the spoilt lightbulb. Lu Shu also reminded Lu Xiaoyu during breakfast to be careful not to leak anything about their powers even though the other party was a good person.

These days, it was impossible to see through a person’s true nature without many years of interaction.

Swordplay was a separate matter and it should not lead to leaking your own secret to the other party.

If one day he and Lu Xiaoyu had to go into hiding, they would have to make sure no one could find any leads to them, then would it be considered safe.

Lu Shu had always been afraid of poverty and it would be practical to have some savings. The backup plan was his savings.

In life, there must always be a backup. To bet everything on a single person, who knows if that person is trustworthy?

At some point in life, everyone would have friends or a lover but what about after a period of time? Probably not anymore.

Perhaps while you were still good friends he would keep your secret but what if something happened and caused a conflict?

Li Xianyi seemed to want Lu Shu to bear some kind of responsibility. It might be something minor or something like protecting world peace which would be impossible.

“What if”, Lu Shu thought “What if Li Xianyi used his secrets to threaten him?”

It was quite despicable to think that but Lu Shu always had his suspicions when it came to human nature.

While he was at the orphanage, one of the orphans was adopted by a kind-looking man but in the end, the orphanage received a police report that that man was actually a pedophile! To know one’s looks but never to truly know his intentions, the poor were especially wary of this point.

Lu Shu wasn’t in the least worried that Lu Xiaoyu would not understand his intentions as the young lady was quite smart.

…

To Lu Shu, selling stinky tofu was no longer just about earning money but also a test of his acting skills.

Due to returning customers, his stinky tofu was no longer enough and the news of an awesome stinky tofu stall that only sold 50 servings a week had spread!

Lu Shu also wished he could sell more but the problem was to have a healthy balance. To enter the lottery for stinky tofu or to give up the lottery in order to buy celestial fruits.

Both options were not considered as he had to balance them. This would prevent any complications in his daily life and his training.

50 servings, this wasn’t too many or too little.

The stall owner was awesome, but the customers were even more so. The news of such a limited supply of delicious food attracted even those who never liked eating stinky tofus to join in the commotion.

As the saying goes, the citizens of Luo Cheng would wake up as early as 5 am to travel 30km in order to have a bowl of MJ Tie Xie mutton soup…

As Lu Shu arrived carrying his crate, there were already 20+ people in the queue.

“Boss, 3 servings of stinky tofus!” The person first in queue shouted.

This agitated Lu Shu. He was afraid of selling out too quickly and this guy wanted 3 servings?

“Only one serving each person,” Lu Shu felt this was too rude and added, “If everyone in front bought it all then what about those behind?”

Upon hearing that, those in queue felt that it was quite reasonable and this stall owner was really particular!

But someone in the queue rebutted Lu Shu, “If you’re scared that we may not get to eat, you should make more. How can 50 servings be enough?

This got everyone else thinking again. That made sense, why can’t you just sell more?!

Lu Shu laughed it off. This guy was really quick-witted! One serving each, no buying extras!

Despite that, the stall was still cleaned out instantly and Lu Shu once again started his performance.

As subsequent customers approached Lu Shu for stinky tofu, he would pretend to still have some before telling them it’s sold out…

Some customers were enraged, wondering if this stall owner was a dimwit?! If sold out, why was he still sitting there?

But Lu Shu was elated… 4000 distress points from just one morning…

In the afternoon, Li Xianyi was tutoring Lu Xiaoyu on her homework and there was a harmonious atmosphere between them.

It was thanks to Auntie Liu’s tips, “The young lady is still growing and loves to eat, so buy her some snacks and she would definitely change her opinions of you.”

Li Xianyi melancholy stared at the alley outside, what is this situation, why do I still have to buy snacks at this age and isn’t it like pampering my granddaughter? Not to mention this isn’t my own granddaughter!

But the effect of the snacks was instantaneous. The moment Li Xianyi brought out the snacks, Lu Xiaoyu’s sharp tongue against him reduced greatly. Although there were still some instances, it was not as annoying anymore!

Li Xianyi also realized that although Lu Xiaoyu was no longer spouting things to poke at him, her attitude was nowhere close to being trusting.

It felt like Lu Shu was the only one in the world who could earn her trust and her trust was only placed in Lu Shu, no one else.

However, living in harmony was already a huge progress and slowly, the two of them would be able to joke around.

At this moment, a middle-aged man appeared outside. He had an honest look and from his appearance, he seemed no different from a peasant. But there was a unique aura in his actions which gave off a contradicting feeling but at the same time, seemed natural.

Upon seeing the man, Li Xianyi became silent as the man laughed, “I came without an invitation and hope that elder Li would not mind.”

Li Xianyi forced a smile. Seemed like news about his recovery had traveled fast and within such a short time, all sorts of people had appeared, “Of course not, of course not,” Li Xianyi turned to Lu Xiaoyu, “the idiom ‘A distant friend is visiting’, what comes after?” This was the content of primary education.

Lu Xiaoyu glanced at him, “and to kill him no matter what!”

Li Xianyi, “???”

Lu Shu, who was scrolling the online forums in class, was alarmed.

“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +488!”

“From Shi Xuejin’s distress, +199!”

Why the sudden wave of distress points?!

Shi Xuejin… Could that be the Shi Xuejin who Li Xianyi said was well-versed in all of The Three Teachings?! Is Shi Xuejin with Li Xianyi and Lu Xiaoyu?
