Actually, Shi Xuejin had fully explained the current situation on the phone. Could Nie Ting have called for the same reason? No, no way. Nie Ting only aimed to annoy him.
However, it wouldn’t be that convenient either to follow Shi Xuejin’s advice of changing his look. Did he have to go overseas eventually?
In fact, what Shi Xuejin was implying was still the same old topic. For Lu Shu to accept the position as the Ninth Heavenly King. Currently, Lu Shu was not as opposed to the idea as much as before, probably because You Mingyu’s words had made him realize that his potential could only be unleashed to the fullest abroad…
Yet, Lu Shu felt that he did not have to make the decision so soon.
I wonder how well our Chinese chives are growing. By the way, Nalan Que agreed to help us build an inn and its foundation had already been complete before I left. I reckon the construction should be done now.
Time flew by during their conversation. Soon, they had arrived at their destination.
After they got down from the plane, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu walked towards the exit. Suddenly, someone walked past them and hit Lu Shu. Stunned, Lu Shu tilted his head to see a white-collar woman beside them. She was very attractive, dressed in a white shirt. Her black hair swayed over her shoulders, revealing her fair neck and a fiery tattoo on the right side of her neck.
Wait a minute. Lu Shu hesitated. The fire seemed living, it not just any normal tattoo.
For some reason, Lu Shu had a strange feeling. The woman’s side face was already extremely pretty, but her beauty felt abnormal, as if there was an attraction from the inside.
Furthermore, Lu Shu could not sense any energy waves from her.
Commoners usually had energy waves of value 1, and Class F’s 10. No one could have zero.
The woman walked on and cast Lu Shu a cold glimpse, as though she was studying an ant. Lu Shu was displeased.
Hold on. Shouldn’t you at least apologize since you’ve hit me?
From Cloud Yi’s distress, +99!
Lu Shu drew a startled breath…
Cloud Yi fixed him with a frosty and condescending stare, as if she was a superior creature compared to Lu Shu.
Oh?
she said. Her voice was not gloomy at all, but rather melodious and crisp. Perhaps she had purposely processed her voice when she was in the black robe.
Lu Shu immediately made a bow and said,
Sorry.
Cloud Yi was speechless.
Lu Shu was frightened. He shouldn’t take the risk!
Cloud Yi could not understand what was wrong with this human, while in fact Lu Shu had figured out her identity directly from her distress points…
Lu Shu would have cursed out aloud if Cloud Yi was not around. What the heck? He had bumped into the Puppet Master just like that! Speaking of which, why did you take the plane when you could fly? And where’s your iron-clad puppet? Why so low-profile when you traveled around?
After Shi Xuejin’s call, Lu Shu had already been suspecting that the Puppet Master might simply be a bloody job title. Hence, no one knew how many there were.
But Lu Shu felt that there should not be too many of them. Otherwise, they could have overthrown the humans easily. What were they waiting for?
Moreover, Lu Shu had ruled out the possibility of people with the same name. After all, it was almost impossible that two Cloud Yi’s were both of special existence with totally no energy waves.
But Lu Shu believed it was also a coincidence that they were on the same flight. Otherwise, she would have dismantled the plane directly judging from her power in the sea. She did not have to waste any time with the pseudo-Class B Lu Shu…
Luckily she did not recognize him…
Cloud Yi ignored him and continued walking forward. As the clatter of her heels drifted further away, Lu Shu heaved a sigh of relief, his shirt had been wet by his sweat. He was seized with terror. Even terrorists were just anti-human, while this lady was not even a human at all…
But Lu Shu suddenly realized that his sensory-type abilities were not reliable in many situations because they had failed him multiple times so far. It could either be due to something they wore or the Puppet Masters’ own abilities.
Lu Shu led Lu Xiaoyu towards another exit.
Hurry!
Lu Xiaoyu whispered,
Who was she?
Lu Xiaoyu knew that she had to keep quiet and cooperate with Lu Shu when he apologized politely to the woman.
She’s the Puppet Master,
replied Lu Shu.
Lu Xiaoyu was stunned.
But she wasn’t wearing a black robe! How did you recognize her? Do you have some secrets with her?
Lu Shu was dumbfounded.
Her imagination was too wild!
Lu Shu patiently explained,
I can’t tell you exactly how, but I just know it.
Is that an explanation…?
Lu Xiaoyu said, expressionless. How’s that any different from the typical excuse
I believe it no matter if you buy it or not
?
Lu Shu started packing up once he got home. He was genuinely scared. Apparently the Puppet Master named Cloud Yi had a permanent residence in the country and she could wreak havoc anytime. Moreover, her top target at the moment would probably be Lu Shu…
Speaking of which, did Nie Ting even know that there was such a great threat within the national borders? It was no longer safe for Lu Shu to stay locally anymore!
Lu Shu called Nie Ting at once. However…
Sorry, the number you are dialing is unavailable…
Haha! Come! Let’s harm each other!
Not before Lu Shu called him six times in one go did Nie Ting finally answer the phone. Nie Ting said calmly before Lu Shu could even speak,
Don’t even think about the rewards for the remains adventure this time. I won’t ask you for the items you pocketed yourself either.
Lu Shu paused and said,
That’s not why I called!
Oh,
Nie Ting said and put his phone aside, as if talking to someone else.
Why do we have to eat scallion? Can you put it away?
… I want to go overseas!
AGAIN?
Nie Ting’s volume suddenly went up.
I said, I want to go overseas!
Lu Shu repeated.
Check the airport surveillance camera footage. After I got off the plane, I bumped into a lady on my way out. She’s the Puppet Master. Don’t ask me how I know. Find her!
This time bomb must be found. She was the danger hidden in the country.
Shi Xuejin called two hours later and said,
You will go overseas in three days. We couldn’t find the Puppet Master, it’s as if she has disappeared from the world.
