Chapter 1151: What a Coincidence
When someone actively approached Lu Shu, he would not treat them as an unrelated stranger. He would subconsciously think that they belonged to a slave owner and tried to deliberately approach him.
It would be easy to recognize them if the mark of a slave was on their necks or hands, but some were hidden. They could not be seen when one was clothed. Lu Shu knew that some marks of a slave were on the b.u.t.tocks… of course, he had not confirmed this with anyone…
Lu Shu could not be blamed for being overly suspicious. He had a cautious personality. Recently, many people deliberately approached him. In the past, many people he thought he had met by chance all had their own aims. No matter whether their aims were good or bad, he felt uncomfortable.
But this was also one of the reasons why he wanted to solve this problem once and for all. He could not be on guard his entire life. It would be very tiring.
He longed for a day when he could finally relax. He would not have to worry about anything.
Everyone in the campsite looked over due to the lady’s sudden bold actions towards Lu Shu. Lu Shu did not like this feeling. Who were you? Why did you mysteriously come over?
The lady saw that Lu Shu did not react. She smiled broadly. “Aren’t you going to shake hands? How ungentlemanly.”
Lu Shu looked up at her. “There are so many people here. Why did you come and greet me?”
At this moment, Lu Shu had realized that the people behind the lady had started to surround them. They had secretly started to defend themselves against Lu Shu.
This meant several things. If Lu Shu had been suspicious, he now completely understood what was going on. There were no real coincidences in the world. He was being targeted!
Lu Shu had gotten straight to the point. He did not plan to interact with these people. Although he was cautious, he was not afraid.
Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao sensed that there was something wrong with Lu Shu’s tone, but they did not move. Under these circ.u.mstances, Lu Shu would be able to control the situation alone. If the lady had certain aims, she would not be able to run away.
Before the lady could reply, a secret pract.i.tioner said, “Don’t you know what organization they are from? She wanted to shake hands with you, but you haven’t moved at all!”
This sudden bas.h.i.+ng shocked Lu Shu. It seemed like over the past year, this organization of elite secret pract.i.tioners won the hearts of the people. The overseas Pract.i.tioners highly praised these “cool” actions. It was like how hackers were highly sought after when the calculator was first introduced.
The surrounding secret pract.i.tioners all felt that Lu Shu was shameless, but Lu Shu did not care too much about them. He continued to look at the lady. “I will ask and you will answer. Why did you come to shake hands with me in particular?”
When the secret pract.i.tioners heard Lu Shu’s tone, they could not sit still. They recognized this elite secret pract.i.tioner organization. If not, their arrival would not cause a commotion in the campsite. Furthermore, two women in the group were very pretty. No matter whether they liked them or not, they could not stand seeing these women being bullied.
To Lu Shu, this wave of people was ordinary. They did not seem like particularly ferocious Pract.i.tioners. All their back-ups had arrived.
In reality, there was a period of time when the murderous intent off Lu Shu’s body was very strong. However, after he advanced to the master realm, he recollected his aura. Nie Ting had named it Shen Cang Jing as such for a reason. Once a person had advanced to this realm, they would return to their true nature and conceal their aura.
Moreover, Lu Xiaoyu looked very innocent as she hugged her pet. Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao were slightly upset. This group of people did not seem to have much combat power…
Lu Shu silently looked at the secret pract.i.tioners. Were they about to find…
He glanced around. Most of the secret pract.i.tioners were Rank Five or Rank Six. The strongest was probably a Rank Three or a Rank Four. Lu Shu was too lazy to deal with them.
However, the lady turned and smiled at the secret pract.i.tioners. “Please do not be angry. There’s no need to do so. I might have been too abrupt.”
But this did not stop them from wanting to fight. On the contrary, it made the secret pract.i.tioners feel that Lu Shu and the rest were too much.
Chen Zuan was happy. He softly said to Cheng Qiuqiao, “This is interesting.”
If the people behind the lady had not surrounded them, everyone would not have thought much about it. But now, it was obvious that they were not welcoming to strangers. The secret pract.i.tioners were riled up. This was a disdainful move.
But at that moment, there was a sudden movement in the forest behind Lu Shu. Everyone in the campsite was dumbfounded and looked at the forest. Then, a large group of people on horses suddenly appeared. Coral was in the lead.
The moment she walked out of the forest, she sat down beside Lu Shu by the bonfire. She remained silent, as if she did not know what to say. She was aggressive when she had arrived, but the moment she sat down, it seemed as if this aggression had disappeared. A ferocious tiger had become a white rabbit.
Suddenly, Coral said, “What a coincidence to b.u.mp into a neighbor here.”
Her cousin expected better from her. She had said that she wanted to be strong and let Lu Shu know that being liked by the leader of the Deities was a pleasant thing. However, all of this disappeared after she saw him.
The secret pract.i.tioners in the campsite were speechless. They were all too familiar with this girl. How many people did not know about the leader of the Deities, Coral? There were few public videos of Lu Shu, but there were many of Coral. After all, Coral had represented the Deities in many high-ranking meetings. These were all covered by the media.
Lu Shu did not know what to say either. “Yes, what a coincidence…”
He subconsciously put his hand in his pocket. He wanted to hide the tab on his finger, but saw that Coral was still wearing the tab on her finger as well.
For some reason, he suddenly relaxed. His expression was more natural.
But before Lu Shu could say anything else, Coral suddenly stood up and left with the rest of the people from the Deities. She did not even say h.e.l.lo!
Lu Shu and the rest looked at one another helplessly. The secret pract.i.tioners in the campsite were speechless.
They had been planning to launch a group attack on Lu Shu and the rest when the Deities interfered. Now, were they planning not to attack at all? What relations.h.i.+p did the Deities have with these four people?
None of this made sense!
Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He had been waiting for the secret pract.i.tioners to attack. He would kill them once he felt that it was justified. But now, everyone was suddenly quiet. Lu Shu did not know what to do either!
He looked at the forest. His mouth was agape, but he did not say anything. Were the Deities just here for a stroll?
Coral’s cousin chatted to Coral as they walked back to their campsite. “You can’t let him get ahead of himself! Think about it. He had been hiding among the secret pract.i.tioners at the Koh Chang Island remains. Now that he is a master, he is still hiding among them! He might be up to something! You can’t allow him to be too comfortable!”
