After bumping into Cloud Yi at the airport, she disappeared in the crowd. This made Lu Shu very insecure. Who knows when she would find out about his identity and come to kill him?

She was a Class A too. If she really wanted to kill someone, Lu Shu could not depend on Nie Ting to protect him all the time, right?

Nie Ting could use Lu Shu as bait to kill them, but the problem was that Lu Shu did not want to be bait… she was a Class A. If things went wrong, he would be dead before he even realized it!

Nie Ting’s arrangement was not complex. After three days, deploy a group of secret practitioners towards Europe from Luo City. These secret practitioners were recruited by the Heavenly Network. There would be members from the Heavenly Network to lead this group.

Lu Shu knew that this group even had a few ordinary people. They were experts in negotiating with overseas partners.

Their task was to buy and sell training resources, as well as contact training organizations to engage in business talks and build alliances.

With transport becoming increasingly convenient, the world felt as if it was getting smaller. For example, every time a remain opened, Practitioners from all over the world would gather there.

The Heavenly Network could not assume that it did not need allies and everyone else was their enemy just because it had two Class A’s.

After all, they had to compete for training resources. Some conflicts were bound to happen. In these times, the Heavenly Network needed to find some friends.

The ideal situation would be to reduce the number of hostile Practitioners at the borders of the Heavenly Network. It was fine even if they could not completely eradicate them. If they had more allies, their allies could check for the Heavenly Network. The Heavenly Network could also check other ambitious organizations.

Of course, they both had to consider their own benefits.

There were ordinary people in the group because the Heavenly Network did not have professional negotiators. There were often soldiers in history who could cause a hundred thousand soldiers to surrender with just their words. Many people felt that they had the gift of the gab. They felt that if they were born in that era, they would be able to do the same.

But many people thought too highly about themselves. Real life negotiations were not as easy as in stories. They needed not just eloquence. They needed courage and insight, as well as plenty of time spent preparing in advance.

Lu Shu did not hate this. Furthermore, he was very clear that this time, Nie Ting had included him in the group to act as the strongest secret bodyguard.

This was simpler. The secret practitioners did not have to worry too much. They only had to ensure the safety of the ordinary people.

To be honest, this was different from what Lu Shu had expected, but he could still accept this.

As for the identity that Lu Shu wanted to use, it was as he had expected. It was the identity that You Mingyu had prepared for him earlier. He was the original owner of the Darkness Kingdom ID, Li Teng.

Back then, Lu Shu had realized that Li Teng’s height and physique was similar to his. Furthermore, he was a spy and an overseas Chinese businessman. It was very easy to take over his identity.

Nie Ting had actually thought a step ahead of Lu Shu, who had only realized how this identity was very suitable for him to substitute. Nie Ting was different. For the unforgivable crime of having always been selling classified intelligence from the country, Nie Ting would not hesitate to push Li Teng out to be the scapegoat for Lu Shu if Lu Shu got into any great trouble out there.

When he was allocating the identities, Nie Ting had already made preparations in this area. This was based on his understanding of Lu Shu…

All in all, Nie Ting was very happy. This idiot was finally out to damage others!

As for whether Lu Shu would wreck the group, Nie Ting still approved Shi Xuejin’s plan. Lu Shu had morals. He was very clear on what he should and should not do.

This was a young man that often frustrated him, but could be trusted during crucial times…

That night, You Mingyu came to the Xingshu Road courtyard to see Lu Shu. He brought resources for the trip to the west and the position of Heavenly King.

You Mingyu looked at Lu Xiaoyu and Little Fury watching television. He had no intention of keeping Lu Xiaoyu away, because he knew the close relationship between Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Shu.

“I didn’t expect that you would become a Heavenly King in the blink of an eye…” You Mingyu sighed with emotion. “The Ninth Heavenly King. The world will definitely have their eyes on you.”

He did not expect Lu Shu to suddenly shake his head. “I can’t become a Heavenly King. Help me tell Heavenly King Nie that I have no intention of becoming a Heavenly King.”

Lu Shu had pondered deeply about rejecting the position of Heavenly King. Once he took on this position, his responsibilities would increase significantly.

Maybe he was not mature in his thinking. Maybe his many years of experience had caused his personality to be as such. He would do his all to protect the team in this trip and do what he should do.

He could consciously decide to get rid of the snake in the grass rather than to enter the remains at the cavern of lizards. He could lead his comrades to bravely kill the enemies on the island. But he did not want to become a Heavenly King.

You Mingyu was dumbfounded. “Are you serious? This is the position of Heavenly King… a position that many yearn for! Did you know? There are newly ascended Class B’s in the Heavenly Network, but till today, they have not gotten the chance to become a Heavenly King. You can’t be a Heavenly King with your abilities now!”

Lu Shu shook his head. “I cannot accept this position yet.”

“Slap me. Am I dreaming?” You Mingyu said.

Lu Shu said, “What are you saying?!”

But Lu Shu did not do anything. He was not asking Lu Shu to really slap him, right? Suddenly, You Mingyu urged him, “Hurry up and slap me!”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. What a strange request. He hesitated before slapping him.

Slap!

You Mingyu shouted, “Ah!”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded.

Lu Xiaoyu was confused.

Little Fury was confused too.

To be honest, this was the first time Lu Shu felt uncomfortable after slapping someone. Why did he feel like he was being taken advantage of…

Lu Xiaoyu glanced at You Mingyu. “He doesn’t seem like a serious person.”

Little Fury’s knowledge about humans was once again overturned. There were no such strange hobbies among its own species…

“Ahem.” Lu Shu had a strange expression on his face. “Thanks for the resources. It’s getting late. You should go back. I’ll take a look at the resources.”

Before You Mingyu left, he said, “Although you are concealing your identity and providing protection in secret. but Heavenly King Nie has said that you can reveal your identity and lead the group at any time. If the situation is very dangerous, he has allowed you to give up protecting the others. Sometimes, this is an inevitable decision in a hopeless situation.”
