Chapter 1034: Please Come In, Brother
That night, over ten people followed Tang Linshan into Lu Shu’s hut. They closed the door and conspired.
Lu Shu was very frank. All of them were brothers and sisters of the Sword Hut. He would definitely not hide good things from them. But Lu Shu had spent all his life discovering this secret. It did not make sense to do research without any reward. If not, who would immerse themselves in research?
When the brothers and sisters heard this, they declined to comment. They knew what was happening. They were the ones who had partic.i.p.ated in the deal to leave their names in the Sword Hut records. One of them calmly said, “Brother Lu Shu, just tell us.”
Lu Shu laughed cheerily. “Brothers and sisters, all of you belong to large families. If you did not, you would not have obtained Rank One or Rank Two techniques and joined the Sword Hut. There is something I would like everyone to do. I like to collect magical armor…”
The brothers and sisters looked at one another helplessly. So he wanted magical armor? Someone suddenly asked, “How many do you need? If you only need a few, I have some in my room right now…”
“I need ten sets of armor from each person, on the condition that you keep it a secret,” said Lu Shu with a calm expression. This was an agreement between people of virtue. Even if someone leaked this, you might not be able to determine who it was.
But Lu Shu had his own considerations. On one hand, the disciples of the Sword Hut were relatively pure. He could not bear to cheat others. On the other hand, he had an unusual feeling towards the Sword Hut. He felt that it was very intimate. Li Xianyi and the senior disciple of the Sword Hut had helped him. Although Gu Lingfei was very ferocious, her bark was worse than her bite.
Everyone here was very nice. Lu Shu liked it.
To these kids from rich families, ten sets of armor per person was not much. Furthermore, there were many people in the Sword Hut. If Lu Shu could sell this to one-third of the people, he would be able to obtain over 3000 sets of armor. It would be enough.
Lu Shu antic.i.p.ated that he would leave this place soon. He was not planning on obtaining ill-gotten wealth. He was doing his final preparations.
The Song and Sun families had made a deal with Lu Xiaoyu over the past two days. Lu Shu spared some time to journey out. He now had 20 thousand sets of magical armor in the Seal of Lands.
But the potential of the Song and Sun families had been sucked dry. They would not be able to buy anything from them for a period of time, even if they were given money. Thus, Lu Shu focused his attention on the children of these rich families.
Lu Shu called this method… crowdfunding…
But at that moment, Lu Shu suddenly felt that everyone’s expressions had turned strange. It was as if there was something very frightening behind him…
Lu Shu laughed. “What’s wrong. Ha ha ha. I feel that Gu Lingfei is very beautiful. She has a good temper as well…”
“That’s enough.” Gu Lingfei found a place to sit. She was wearing white robes with a red rim. “You’re up to something again, right? If it is useful, there is no need for the disciples to compensate you. The Sword Hut will reward you.”
Lu Shu’s eyes lit up. He did not doubt Gu Lingfei’s understanding. He summoned his sword spirit.
But before the sword spirit could rush out, Lu Shu grabbed it. Then, he raised it in front of Gu Lingfei. “This is a sword spirit. It will appear after you collapse your snowy mountain. There are no negative consequences. You can rebuild your snowy mountain from scratch. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Tang Linshan.”
Gu Lingfei looked at Tang Linshan. Her eyes glistened. No one knew what Gu Lingfei was thinking about.
Tang Linshan nodded his head and responded. “It is just as Brother Lu Shu has said. There are no negative consequences. This small sword spirit has the strength of a pseudo Rank One!”
The candles in the cottage flickered. Gu Lingfei’s breathing grew rapid. The other disciples held their breath.
Before they came, Tang Linshan had said that he had something important to say. But no one expected it to be able to change the structure of the Sword Hut!
In the past, everyone had used the snowy mountain as a polis.h.i.+ng stone. No one dared to collapse such a mighty mountain. After all, what if they collapsed the mountain and became disabled.
Now, everyone knew that there was a spirit within the snowy mountain that had to be released!
Everyone turned to look at Lu Shu. It was as if their gazes were conveying their shock. He did not even let his snowy mountain off!
Lu Shu could not do much either. Back then, his Sea of Chi had been restrained by the snowy mountain. This caused him to be unable to open his Sea of Chi and snowy mountain. If not, he would go crazy! Would he have the time to play with this snowy mountain? Were the people in the Hall of Swords good at cheating their brothers? If I have been tricked, what else can I say?
Needless to say, Lu Shu’s words would change the history of the Sword Hut.
No one had expected a new disciple to discover something so important just after joining the Sword Hut!
In the past, although everyone knew that Lu Shu was very strong, no one expected him to change the history of the Sword Hut.
The next moment, Gu Lingfei disappeared. Before they could react, there was the sound of a bell.
Everyone looked at one another helplessly. Then, they stood up and ran towards the statues of the King of G.o.ds and the head of the Sword Hut. The bell gathered all the disciples of the Sword Hut to return. As of the present, all the Sword Hut members had returned. This was the best time to start the revolution. The fist of the Sword Hut had never been clenched so tightly before.
Lu Shu did not go because he knew what Gu Lingfei was going to say. There was no meaning for him to go.
After that night, the disciples of the Sword Hut worked hard to polish their snowy mountain. The Sword Hut was renewed.
Lu Shu did not remember the reward Gu Lingfei had promised him. Instead, he was waiting for something.
After causing such mischief, earning money was a secondary concern. Lu Shu was now waiting for his objective of remaining in the Sword Hut.
After half an hour, Gu Lingfei appeared in Lu Shu’s cottage. She calmly looked at Lu Shu, then presented the gifts. “I bestow upon you these gifts on behalf of the Sword Hut.”
Lu Shu did not hide or say anything. He simply accepted the gifts. Then, he asked, “And then?”
Gu Lingfei was surprised, but quickly regained her calm composure. “Follow me. Please come in, Brother.”
Gu Lingfei placed her long and slender hand on Lu Shu’s arm. In an instant, the scenery in front of Lu Shu changed. They were on a mighty mountain, in front of a small path that led to the summit.
The pines by the path were winding. Lu Shu slowly followed behind Gu Lingfei.
The two of them advanced at a rapid speed. It was as if they were flying in the mountains. But it felt as if they were affected by the restraint imposed by the old King of G.o.ds that prevented them from flying.
When they approached the summit, Gu Lingfei stopped. “Go. I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain.”
Lu Shu did not mind and continued walking up. He even slowed down his pace.
He had been waiting for this day, as he had seen a familiar name in the Sword Hut records. Jiang Shuyi.
At that moment, Lu Shu thought that it was a coincidence. Later on, he believed that there were not many coincidences in this world.
