Chapter 1006: Buying Li Liang Over

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The newly-bought house of Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu was not small. It was even bigger than that of the inn. However, it was at the extreme east of the palace and was relatively hidden.

When they bought it, they thought that it was quiet and hidden. However, what surprised Lu Shu was how he kept hearing the sounds of carriages in the middle of the night.

However, after a few times, Lu Shu felt that something was amiss. He asked Yi Qian, “Who are those people living around, why are all of them women?!”

Yi Qian laughed happily. “This is the Colorful Sparrow Place, a place where some of the aristocrats house their loved ones. Some of the aristocrats have similar family backgrounds as their wives, or found themselves in a situation where their wives have better backgrounds than themselves. This caused them to be unable to buy female slaves and…”

“Alright, alright, I understand.” Lu Shu had a headache. There was actually such a place. No wonder so many carriages and horses came in the middle of the night.

When Lu Shu left the house yesterday to check out what was happening outside, or check if he could enter the Sword Hut, he bumped into a beautiful lady in a veil who stopped another girl who was selling rouge. After the lady saw Lu Shu, she threw a piece of red handkerchief into Lu Shu’s room that night.

Lu Shu immediately threw the handkerchief back. A “hmph” was heard and the lady seemed to be very angry…

Lu Xiaoyu frowned and mumbled, “All of you are evil people!”

Li Liang and Yi Qian watched this scene without making any comments.

Li Liang’s injuries were taking a long time to heal as his foundation was broken. Therefore, his powerful healing powers disappeared. In fact, practitioners who suffered equivalent injuries would recover completely in about half a month’s time, however, Li Liang was in a terrible state.

“Your status as a Rank One expert disappeared just like this, isn’t it very unfortunate?” Lu Shu asked curiously. He also took much effort to get to Rank One and had once lost his status. Therefore, he could sympathize with Li Liang.

Everything was lost in a blink of an eye.

Li Liang sighed, “Those who succeed are called kings, and those who fail are called bandits. There’s nothing worth debating. When you entered this path, you should have been mentally prepared… If you sympathize with me, can you help me get a bed first?”

Up to now, Li Liang had stayed in the residence for over ten days. He had been sleeping on the floor in Yi Qian’s room!

There was a reason for Lu Shu to make this arrangement. After all, he was kind enough to bring Li Liang over. However, he was worried that Li Liang would betray him.

When they met, Lu Shu knew that Li Liang was not an honest man. Zhao Shuai, the chief officer of the Song gambling den had told Lu Shu that before the Black Feather Army retreated, people followed Lu Shu and rigged their bets. The amount totalled up to hundreds of millions of notes. Eventually, the Song gambling den found out that the person was Li Liang’s schoolmate in school and is the current commander of the Water Dragon Post 1

Water Dragon Post sounded rather majestic, as though there were real dragons in the post. However, that was not the case, it was equivalent to the fire station on Earth…

Lu Shu did not feel embarrassed. “I initially saw your bloodstained shirt and how your injuries failed to heal after a long time. Your bed was stained dirty in a couple of days. Now that your injuries are starting to heal, I am about to prepare your bed for you!”

Li Liang, who was initially keen on the beds, became cautious. “How much does it cost? All my money has been taken by the people under Duanmu Huangqi!”

“Come on, don’t be like this.” Lu Shu did not intend to ask Li Liang for money. Only Lu Xiaoyu knew that Lu Shu was planning to get Li Liang as a person instead!

Zhang Weiyu could indeed assume the position as the commander of the Wei Wu Army. However, Lu Xiaoyu knew that Lu Shu had some reservations about Zhang Weiyu because Zhang Weiyu was loyal to the old King of Gods and not Lu Shu.

This could not be settled by a small favor. It was the same as how although Lu Shu had entered the Sword Hut, he preferred to assume the role as the Ninth Heavenly King.

Moreover, before Lu Shu left, Zhang Weiyu had revealed that he was strangely not very keen on being the commander. Therefore Lu Shu had to plan for the worst and hoped to find another suitable individual to take over Zhang Weiyu’s position.

Liu Yizhao did not want to be the commander so Lu Shu granted his wish. Zhang Weiyu did not want to face the self-accusation brought about by the deaths of soldiers and Lu Shu gave him freedom.

Now that Li Liang was at his lowest point in his life, although what Lu Shu was doing was not very nice, it was the best opportunity to buy Li Liang over!

Buying over a Rank One was a good deal in the Luniverse. After all, how many Masters were there?

Lu Shu had once felt that the population on the Luniverse was less than that on Earth. After all, there were very few people living on Earth in the past. However, after thinking about it a little more and going to a few other fortresses, Lu Shu realized that he had a misconception.

The Luniverse was around the same size as Earth. Although the resources on the Luniverse was incomparable with that on Earth, Lu Shu neglected the point that the mean life expectancy of the people on the Luniverse was way longer than that of the people on Earth.

Initially, Lu Shu thought that food was a huge issue as Zhang Weiyu and the rest could not earn enough despite being a farmer.

However, Lu Shu eventually realized that Zhang Weiyu did not manage to earn enough because the taxes were heavy and his plots of land were always ruined by the slaves in town.

After Lu Shu took over as the ruler of Nangeng City, he realized that the earnings as a bookmaker was way more than that on Earth. That was because the Luniverse had entered the Era of magical energy!

Therefore, Lu Shu felt that there were at most trillions of people on the Luniverse? There were only over ten people of the Master realm. That was an extremely low ratio.

Of course, after reaching Rank One, Lu Shu realized that the Master Realm may not be achievable, or it may be achievable with time.

Now that he thought about it, Nie Ting had truly lived up to his name as the First Man on Earth, instead of the First Man in the East.

However, Li Liang was intelligent. When he heard that Lu Shu did not want money, he became extremely cautious. How would Lu Shu not demand for money? Unless Lu Shu wanted something even more!

“What do you want?” Li Liang was slightly nervous.

Lu Shu said, “You should look into the mirror.”

Li Liang had the look of a young man who had yet to reach 30 years old. That was because practising caused his lifespan to lengthen and he could maintain his youthful look for an extremely long time. However, because Li Liang’s foundation was heavily destroyed, he was ageing rapidly and could end up with a look of 40 years old like Zhang Weiyu and the rest.

In fact, Li Liang knew that he had no value. He was a wasted man without any power or money. What did Lu Shu want from him? That was something Li Liang did not understand.
