Chapter 997: Did We Set Off the Fireworks for Nothing?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Sword Hut appeared in the Luniverse when the palace was built. The Sword Hut had never made an exception for anyone. Everyone had to go through two rounds of assessment. They would only be able to obtain the coveted position after experiencing difficult fights.

There had never been any exceptions.

But when Lu Shu came to the palace, an exception had been made for him without warning. No one had been prepared.

The civilians, who were shouting and jumping for joy, suddenly fell silent. How could he have been recruited in advance? This was not in the rules?

But everyone thought about it. What rules? The Sword Hut simply had not broken their traditional practice, but there was never a rule that said that the Sword Hut could not break these practices.

“Were we happy for nothing?” Someone stood among the crowd and asked, dumbfounded.

“Did we set the fireworks off for nothing?”

They had been wild with joy. But now, it was as if they had fallen into an icy cavern. Not only did their common enemy, Lu Shu, not get eliminated, he had been recruited by the Sword Hut in advance.

This was very awkward. Why did they come?!

“But have you realized something? Since Lu Shu was recruited in advance, the bets in the gambling dens will be stable. No one will be around to mess them up!” Someone in the crowd tried to comfort them. No one was sure whether he was comforting the rest or comforting himself.

Someone suddenly realized that it had been a long time since the civilians of the palace were bound by hatred for a common enemy. Their cohesion had been strengthened considerably.

Typically, neighbors would have conflicts with one another. But when they faced a problematic person like Lu Shu, their attitudes were surprisingly similar.

But Lu Shu’s house had been destroyed, and Lu Shu had been recruited into the Sword Hut. To the civilians, the Sword Hut was the most revered place besides the palace of the King of Gods. Since Lu Shu was a disciple of the Sword Hut, they would let bygones be bygones.

This was a step that everyone knew clearly, if not, what else could they do against Lu Shu?

But Li Fangfeng and the rest were unhappy. What gave Lu Shu the right to be recruited into the Sword Hut? What?

The Sword Hut did not just look at ability, as they did not care how powerful you were when you entered the Sword Hut. Regardless of whether you were a Rank One or a Rank Two, everyone was the same, as the Sword Hut had confidence that once they had the talent and moral conduct, strength would not be a problem.

But what about Lu Shu? Everyone was very unhappy... how was a person with such poor morals like Lu Shu able to pass through the Sword Hut selections? Were your blind?!

Of course, while this was what they thought, they could not say this out loud. After all, no one could provoke the Sword Hut...

This time, Li Fangfeng did not intentionally target anyone. Instead, he led the way to the clouds surrounding the Sword Hut. He wanted to ask them why!

“I am Li Fangfeng. Senior from the Sword Hut, please come out.” There were many candidates behind Li Fangfeng. Everyone was not satisfied. What gave Lu Shu the right to be admitted to the Sword Hut first?”

“I am Yu Wentao. Senior from the Sword Hut, please come out.”

“I am...”

At this moment, a lazy voice from within the clouds interrupted them. “Okay, okay. I am listening. Hurry up and speak. Go away if there is nothing.”

The voice was neutral, but some femininity could be heard.

“Why was Lu Shu able to be recruited in advance? The Sword Hut has never done this before! This is not according to the rules!” Li Fangfeng exclaimed in a loud voice.

More and more civilians from the palace gathered around. Everyone wanted to see what was happening. This affair had nothing much to do with them, but they were curious. Thus, they willingly came to observe the situation.

The voice within the clouds said in an impatient tone, “What rules? The King of Gods has not said anything. The Sword Hut is the rule. Can’t you understand this?”

At this moment, it was as if a giant was stepping out of the clouds. Even the ground started to tremble.

“It’s Gu Lingfei...” Someone recognized her. Not only was her voice symbolic, there were other obvious characteristics as well.

At that moment, a two-storey tall black panther slowly walked out. A young girl sat with her legs crossed on top of the panther. She wore white robes with a red rim. Her hands were hidden within her sleeves.

Li Fangfeng and the rest could not help but step back. She was one of the four Masters in the Sword Hut!

The black panther stared coldly at the crowd, but did not act rashly. It was as if it was an obedient beast when the young girl was sitting on its head.

Li Fangfeng bowed and said in a softer voice, “But Lu Shu does not have proper moral conduct! The Sword Hut is revered by the citizens because...”

“Wait.” Once again, Gu Lingfei interrupted him impatiently. “Why has the Sword Hut been able to stand strong in the Luniverse? Is it? Because our proper moral conduct is respected by the people. Is it because our disciples are found everywhere? No. Let me tell you. It’s because we can fight. Is there anything else?”

Li Fangfeng lowered his head and clenched his teeth. “This is not fair!”

“Fine. Stop bending over like that. The Sword Hut is all-seeing. If you are not bad, you will definitely be able to enter the Sword Hut. If you do not qualify, there is no use acting.” Gu Lingfei looked down at Li Fangfeng. “Our senior disciple has been kind enough to recruit Lu Shu in advance. Do you think that we are biased? We are protecting you!”

Everyone was dumbfounded. What else could they say? Had Lu Shu become so strong in the eyes of the Sword Hut? Did the Sword Hut think that Lu Shu would be a threat to the rest of the candidates?

“Do you think that he only wants the ranking and the money from the gambling dens?” Gu Lingfei said with disdain, “Have you not realized that he has planned on eliminating all of you from the very beginning? Not allowing Lu Shu to participate in the selections with all of you is the fairest.”

The observers all gasped in shock. It could not be. Was Lu Shu so crazy?

But if this had been said by a Master of the Sword Hut, they did not doubt it. They would believe that this was real!

For some reason, everyone realized that they might have underestimated the commander of the Wei Wu Army. No wonder he was able to make a name for the Wei Wu Army!

But... everyone felt that he was just doing it for the money!

“Go away. He is not someone you can catch up to. If you want to compare yourself to him, why not refine your own training?” Gu Lingfei rode her black panther back into the clouds. She slowly disappeared into the white clouds.

The explanation of why the Sword Hut had recruited Lu Shu in advance started to spread throughout the palace. Everyone who heard this was shocked, as the Sword Hut had not admitted the potential and talent of any candidate in a very long time. But this time, Gu Lingfei had stepped out and stated that Lu Shu was amazing. He was not on the same level as the rest!

At that moment, Sun Zhongyang, Mo Xiaoya, and the rest were chatting in the Sun residence. They were the minority who were not surprised when they heard the news, as they had experienced Lu Shu’s Sound of Dao for themselves.
