Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mountains overlapped a distance away and the green color gave one an extremely refres.h.i.+ng feeling. However, when the people of the Sun family and the Song family recalled the battle last night, the good feeling they felt immediately vanished.
Song Changying looked at Zhao Shuai. In the past, Zhao Shuai was always very courteous when speaking to the master. The Song family also knew that Zhao Shuai had helped the Song family for almost 200 years only because he was repaying a favor.
However, after the event last night, Zhao Shuai seemed to have changed, but not entirely.
Song Changying laughed, “New wealthy family? Don’t say this too early.”
“It’s not early.” Zhao Shuai shook his head. “12 out of the 14 wealthy families decided to fight the Wei Wu Army, but I heard that n.o.body could escape unscathed after offending him, including Duanmu Huangqi.”
Song Changying felt suffocated. That was right, if Duanmu Huangqi was being threatened, what about the wealthy families of the palace?
Meanwhile, Zhao Shuai and Xiao Mingze from the palace had begun investing in Lu Shu a long time ago. Song Changying suddenly recalled the incident that happened in the Song family a while ago.
The magical armor that Xiao Mingze gave Lu Shu came from the warehouse of the Song family. That was something that was kept deep within the warehouse. However, the Song family had been a wealthy family for a long time, the members were too busy enjoying themselves to realize that the warehouse even stored those types of armor.
However, it was impossible to keep secrets. On the ninth day Lu Shu left the palace, the news that Xiao Mingze had gifted the magical weapons were exposed.
Xiao Mingze was punished by the master of the Song family to kneel in the yard for a long time. The master of the Song family asked Xiao Mingze for his reason for doing it and he answered, “It was a rare commodity worth investing in”.
From that day on, not only did Xiao Mingze stay alive, he was protected by the master of the Song family. Meanwhile, the worker that reported that Xiao Mingze used the magical weapon was killed by the master. Apart from that, every single worker that knew about this was killed.
Zhao Shuai and Xiao Mingze became the chief officer and boss respectively. However, they knew that they would have died if they did not escape unscathed.
After all, the people who dealt with the wealthy families were still workers.
In fact, before he left the palace, Zhao Shuai had already promised Xiao Mingze that he would leave the Song family.
Now, Song Changying felt that the master’s decision was very wise. Only those who dealt personally with the Wei Wu Army would know that the wealthy families were extremely helpless in the safe and peaceful Luniverse. Meanwhile, the Wei Wu Army were like the wolves who ate the helpless sheep.
At this moment, loud footsteps were heard from a distance away. Song Changying looked towards the direction nervously. He knew who had arrived, and that person was powerful enough to kill everyone.
The Imperial Dragon Soldiers appeared and Zhao Shuai went forward to welcome them. Song Changying suddenly felt that Zhao Shuai’s expression looked like the expression he had when he first arrived in the Song family over 100 years ago.
The people from the Sun family also rushed over. When Song Changying saw the thick armor that the other party was wearing, he was unable to tell the ident.i.ty of the person.
The three parties met. Zhao Shuai greeted Lu Shu, who was standing in front of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, “How are you, Great Lord?”
Lu Shu smiled and Lu Xiaoyu, who was beside him, took out an Armor that Shook Mountains from the invisible storage equipment and said calmly, “Will you wear it? Make a choice. We will make you wealthy after the battle.”
“Thank you, Great Lord!” Zhao Shuai was extremely happy. In the future palace, he would definitely be able to stand out!
Song Changying was in a daze. He did not expect Zhao Shuai to leave the Song family so suddenly. He also did not expect the Wei Wu Army to view the palace as their possession.
After settling the problem with Zhao Shuai, Lu Shu looked at the commander of the Sun family and said while examining his armor, “Why are you here, master of the Sun family?”
Song Changying looked over in shock. Sun Xunwen led his troops and came over? Wasn’t he guarding the tomb of his ancestors? He had only been there for seven days. According to the customs, he had to stay there for at least three years.
Sun Xunwen took off his armor and said while smiling, “Great Lord, you have great observation skills. You managed to recognize me despite my armor.”
n.o.body expected this to happen. The masters of the other wealthy families would always send people with important positions over instead of going over personally. After all, if any mishaps happened, they were doomed.
However, as the master of the Sun family, Sun Xunwen came over and took the risk by himself!
Lu Shu smiled. “You are rather daring to come here by yourself? Did you gain the courage from advancing to the master realm?”
“The Master Realm is not the reason. I don’t think it’s difficult for you to kill a master. I came because I think that you won’t kill me,” smiled Sun Xunwen, “I am only able to show my sincerity if I came personally. I risk my life for you, if you want to kill me, I won’t resist.”
This was an eye-opening day for Song Changying. Firstly, the master of the Sun family risked his life. Now, that master let down his guard in front of Lu Shu and told Lu Shu that he could kill him!
At this moment, Song Changying realized that the people wearing black armor behind Lu Shu had their arms hidden in their armor as though they were hiding some important weapons that could kill even a master.
Suddenly, Sun Xunwen asked, “May I ask if my son is still alive?”
Lu Shu smiled. He had heard that Sun Xunwen doted on his son extremely. He did not believe that initially as he thought that power and status overpowered love in the wealthy families.
However, it seemed like Sun Xunwen cared a lot about family ties.
Lu Shu said, “He is alright. However, I found out that his literacy standard is quite low, hence I am giving him supplementary lessons.”
Sun Xunwen laughed. “It is his honor to receive supplementary lessons from the Great Lord.”
After knowing that Sun Zhongyang was alright, Sun Xunwen heaved a sigh of relief. Then, Lu Shu asked, “You took such a big gamble. You must want something from me? What is it?”
Song Changying listened attentively. He wanted to know what Sun Xunwen wanted. At this moment, Song Changying did not dare to interrupt and listened attentively.
Sun Xunwen calmed down. “I came over to ask for the position of the Lord of Heaven.”
Lu Shu was stunned. “Why did you look for me if you want to be a Lord of Heaven?”
Then, Sun Xunwen fell to his knees and kowtowed to Lu Shu. He took a deep breath before saying, “That is because you are the Lord of Heaven. I, Sun Xunwen, welcome your arrival.”
