Spare Me, Great Lord!

Lu Shu was very busy. He had to feed Lu Xiaoyu fruits while eating fruits himself.

To be honest, he did not want to keep earning distress points from his comrades. Although he was only one step away from the third Nebula, he did not feel satisfied immediately advancing without earning experience. But after all, they were his comrades. He came to earn distress points with a clear conscience, right?

The train towards the Capital was very fast. They reached it in a few hours. After they alighted, there was no vehicle for them, nor did anyone come to receive them. They had to go to the airport by themselves to settle the procedures.

From this moment onwards, they had become people who came under no one’s jurisdiction. If anything happened overseas, the Heavenly Network would not admit to their identities. This was why secret practitioners were chosen for this.

It was not because the Heavenly Network was heartless and did not protect their own people. If this was the case, they would not have to assign Lu Shu to accompany them.

This was the situation they were in. Although it seemed rather cold, the Heavenly Network could not affect the entire situation just because of an individual.

But there was a problem with the transport arrangements. There were two nine-seater SUVs. There were 18 people in the team, including Xia Rensheng. There was nothing wrong about this. But Xia Rensheng had forgotten about something, their luggage.

Two SUVs could not store 18 people’s worth of luggages. They had to take up three seats at the back to put the luggage, but these three people would not have a place to sit.

Liu Fan happily sat at the passenger seat of an SUV. “I’ll sit here. You guys can slowly choose your seats.”

Xia Rensheng thought about it. He quickly gave the negotiators seats. After all, he was tasked to prioritize the safety of these three negotiators. Their jobs were more important, thus their positions were also more significant.

When it came to Lu Shu, there were no more seats. Liu Fan jeered, “Li Teng, I think you can sit on top of the car. How about it?”

After the stinky tofu incident, a group of secret practitioners grouped together to pick on the three negotiators and Lu Shu. They could not provoke the negotiators much, since Xia Rensheng had placed a greater focus on protecting them. But Li Teng was different. He did not quite fit in with the rest of the secret practitioners and was easy to bully.

Lu Shu was rather depressed. He did not want to think too much about going overseas and earning distress points. The trees long for peace but the wind will never cease.

Lu Shu suddenly realized that this phrase suited him very well. He was a Shu 1 and he wanted to treasure harmony, but others did not agree!

Ka! Lu Shu opened the passenger seat door and pulled Liu Fan out. Liu Fan wanted to resist, but he realized that he could not move! He had thought that Lu Shu was easy to bully, but that did not seem the case! What a pain in the ass!

“From Liu Fan’s distress, +199!”

The average strength of the secret practitioners was around Class E. Liu Fan himself was a middle Class E. According to his calculations, Lu Shu was at least a beginner Class D! Or even a middle Class D!

His imagination was very limited. To him, the secret practitioners were not much different from one another. Since Li Teng was a secret practitioner too, his abilities would not be that high either!

This was a normal thought process. After all, if a Class C or even a Class B appeared among the secret practitioners, it would be very frightening…

Liu Fan stood near the SUV and laughed coldly. “Brother, take care of your temper when you are out. If not, something bad will happen to you.”

Lu Shu did not feel that this was logical. He was silent. “Why should I control my temper? Shouldn’t you all take care not to provoke me?”

“From Liu Fan’s distress, +666!”

“From Ye Zichen’s distress, +666!”

Li Ganyu, who was sitting behind, suddenly laughed coldly. “Jackals from the same lair.”

Lu Shu suddenly could not understand. Why did she like to do such a thing… did elite members go through this many times? From Li Ganyu’s point of view, the quarrel between him and Liu Fan was like a dogfight…

The most depressed person in the entire team was Xia Rensheng. He could not understand. This was his first time leading a team. Why were they at odds with one another even before they went overseas? He was very tired…

“From Xia Rensheng’s distress, +99!”

They would stay in the Capital for a day before boarding their plane. Their original plan, to set off after three days, had been changed. Thus, they could not book so many air tickets in one go. The entire team was hence in chaos.

Everyone had only thought that the Heavenly Network’s plans had clashed. They took into consideration the overall situation and did not mind that the plans were shifted earlier. But they did not think that shifting their travel date earlier had nothing to do with the overall situation. It was only because Lu Shu wanted the date to be shifted earlier…

When they alighted and were about to enter the hotel, a middle-aged man with a walking stick and wearing glasses approached Li Ganyu and said, “Pretty lady, I have not eaten for a day. Do you have money to spare?”

Lu Shu had thought that Li Ganyu would not give him any money. But Li Ganyu fished out ten dollars from her bag and gave it to him.

Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He waited for the man to walk way before saying. “He did not ask for money from the rest of us even though there were so many people. He had chosen you because you were the only girl who seemed to have some sympathy. If he was really blind, how would he know that you are pretty?”

Li Ganyu was dumbfounded too. “I’ve been cheated! My ten dollars!”

“From Li Ganyu’s distress, +299!”

Lu Shu was puzzled. He was not the one who had cheated her of her money. Why did he earn distress points?!

Lu Shu laughed. “You’ve gained from this. He called you a pretty lady for ten dollars. I won’t call you that even if you gave me 100 dollars. Maybe 1000 dollars would be enough…”

“From Li Ganyu’s distress, +499!”

When Lu Shu saw that Li Ganyu’s expression had darkened, he was happy. Anyway, there was nothing wrong with causing mutual harm to the people in this team. Suddenly, Li Ganyu fished out 1000 dollars from her wallet and passed it to Lu Shu…

Lu Shu said, “Pretty lady.”

“Brother…” Liu Fan and the rest looked at Lu Shu humiliating Li Ganyu, but they did not expect this turn of events. “Although you’ve earned easy money, do you not have any moral principles? If I give you 1000 dollars, will you call me handsome?”

“If you want me to call you handsome, I’ll have to charge more… maybe 10 thousand…” Lu Shu said after carefully looking at Liu Fan.

“From Liu Fan’s distress, +666!”

Lu Shu was happily earning distress points. He was getting closer and closer to lighting up the seventh star. Lu Shu could feel boundless joy…

He did not feel guilty. On one hand, it was because the situation would take its own course regardless of his wishes. On the other hand, he needed these distress points for his own training.

As they prepared to board the plane heading north towards Russia to hold talks with an organization called White Bear, Xia Rensheng received a notice. “White Bear has been destroyed…”
