When Lu Shu saw this piece of news, he was stunned for a while. In the past, everyone did discuss about how it was quite inadequate to use ABCDEF to grade experience and strength but no one wanted this system to be replace. Anyways, it is up to the higher-ups. The whole world used this system to differentiate individuals’ abilities.

However, now that 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th grades are used to differentiate abilities, it is indeed more comprehensive.

“Whatever”, said Lu Shu with a sigh. Most people knew what heavenly stems were and knew that 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th were the top four heavenly stems. To be honest, very few knew what the next few ranks were.

Just like Lu Shu, he did not know that after 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th existed…

Therefore, he was then the rank 6th which very few people heard of… it felt weird…

It felt as though something was messed up…

Lu Xiaoyu who was beside him saw the message on the domestic magical device and asked, “Lu Shu, so what is your ability like now?”.

“Ahem, go go go, let’s go take a walk”, Lu Shu held Lu Xiaoyu and walked out of the tent. Chen Zuan who was behind him suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Lu Shu walking out as he always felt that this young man was not as simple as he thought.

How was he not simple? Chen Zuan was in deep thought.

Right, calmness.

Chen Zuan himself saw how even Jiang Shuyi and Gao Shenyin, these two D-grade Daoyuan class youth experts, looked nervous in the relics. Although Jiang Shuyi and Gao Shenyin were peacefully practicing, Gao Shenyin was nervous and uneasy yet excited when they were talking previously.

Lu Shu was different. In Chen Zuan’s impression, Lu Shu was too calm. Even Lu Xiaoyu was very calm.

Furthermore, Chen Zuan thought Lu Shu was recruited by Jiang Shuyi. After all, every family had someone like that. He even thought if Lu Shu had applied for a bodyguard to protect him but was rejected by his father so that he could learn to be independent.

However, it seemed that Lu Shu and Jiang Shuyi were only close friends.

Someone who was confident he could continue awakening without family ties… yet with the worse abilities of 6th grade?

It was getting interesting.

Lu Shu held Lu Xiaoyu’s hand and walked towards Chakayan Lake. In fact the camping site was right beside the tent.

In the end before they took a photo, Lu Shu froze. He saw a Taosist beside the white salt pond struggling to do a handstand with his body swaying. It seemed like he was falling asleep with the horsetail whisk in his embrace…

His entire body’s energy waves were so strong as though there was no end to them.

Standing beside the salt pond, Lu Shu felt as small as a speck of dust. Lu Shu felt this exact same feeling when he stood beside Li Xian.

That was the old Taoist, Chen Baili, an authentic master, a B-grade expert!

It was only that day did he learn from Chen Zuan that this master was called Chen Baili. In Lu Shu’s memory, he seemed to have received distress values from Chen Baili before but when he thought about it, he felt that it was caused by the seal of lands so he did not think further.

Then again, he did not recognise a lot of the names in the records of those who provided him with distress values.

Lu Shu turned around and wanted to leave with Lu Xiaoyu but Chen Baili spoke, “Come come, who said you can leave.”

Lu Shu was dumbfound, “…”

Suddenly silence fell… Lu Shu still did not know how to react at that moment. He looked around and indeed, only Lu Xiaoyu and him were there.

Just then, Chen Baili was slightly impatient, “I’m speaking to you!”

“How may I help you, master…”, Lu Shu moved over carefully.

Chen Baili turned and looked at him, “You are Lu Shu, right?”

“How do you know my name?”, Lu Shu was extremely surprised as he and Chen Baili never met so how did he know that he was Lu Shu?

Chen Baili stood beside the salt pool and said, “Li Yixiao mentioned you. You are pretty good, continue to do your best in this relic.”

Oh, so he heard Li Yixiao mentioned but still it was not right. Just by hearing from someone, how did he knew it was him?

Lu Shu suddenly thought that perhaps Chen Baili was waiting for him there?

He carefully asked, “Is there anything else?”

“Yes”, Chen Baili closed his eyes, “Why did that monk from Kumbum Monastery chased you out of Daikin Watts Temple?”

Lu Shu was shocked that the master even knew about the incident. He was not worried if there was Heavenly Network’s people there but was afraid that Chen Bail saw him chased out of the monastery by the monk but did not know what happened in there.

He did not hide anything as after all, he was not the only one who knew it and the skeleton would be out of the closet so he said factually, “He said that I was haunted by karma and asked me to wait for Ren Boqie at Kumbum Monastery.”

“Rubbish!”, said Chen Baili with disdain as he suddenly opened his eyes.

The sky rumbled and the birds flying across immediately fell dead from the sky!

What a strong atmosphere of anger!

Lu Shu almost peed in his pants. Was that really someone who practised peace and calmness?

Chen Baili toned down, “Don’t believe him, just continue practising practically. Throughout the practising journey who hasn’t killed several others. Just answerable to yourself!”

“Yes, you’re right, master…”, Lu Shu was slightly worried that he would beat someone up…

“I admire what you did in the Beimang relics. Are you willing to become my disciple? I, Chen Baili, will teach you all that I know”, Chen Baili said calmly.

Lu Shu was enlightened. This was why Chen Baili waited for him here? He wanted to take Lu Shu as his disciple!

However, what did Chen Baili see in him? Definitely not because of his gold chain and watch fashion sense, right!

“For now, I have no intention…”

Lu Shu rejected him halfway and saw Chen Baili sway the horsetail whisk and said, “No issue, it is up to you, direct and simple, very good.”

Then, Chen Baili turned and looked at Lu Xiaoyu, “Little girl, are you willing to become my disciple?”

“No”, said Lu Xiaoyu simple.

“From Chen Baili’s distress, +211…”

Lu Shu found it weird that when he rejected Chen Baili he did not give off any signs of distress and yet when Xiaoyu rejected him, he was distressed?

He actually wanted to take Lu Xiaoyu as his disciple?!

The old Taoist, Chen Baili, kept quiet for a while, “Nowadays, do young people reject others so directly?”

Lu Shu was speechless. Chen Baili was the one who said it was up to him and that being direct and simple was good.

Wasn’t he contradicting himself?
