Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 999: Senior Disciple of Sword Hut

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Tu Le realized that he was in danger, he prepared to leave. It was far too dangerous to be with Lu Shu.

When he turned around, Lu Shu suddenly asked him to stop. Lu Shu looked at Tu Le and the rest. He was slightly puzzled. “Are you bringing these gifts back?!”

“No, no.” Tu Le smiled stiffly. “How could I?”

“Stand there and don’t move.” Lu Shu then said a few words to Yi Qian. Thereafter, Yi Qian hurriedly left.

Tu Le had an unpleasant premonition. He curiously asked, “Where is he going?”

Lu Shu naturally said, “Nothing, nothing. He’s just buying some things.”

Tu Le heaved a sigh of relief. But at that moment, another group of people came from another direction. Tu Le was suddenly overjoyed. It was another candidate of the Sword Hut selections. He seemed to be representing his family gifts to try and rope in Lu Shu.

Everyone realized the importance of Lu Shu. Sun Zhongyang’s father, Sun Xunwen, had worked hard for many years just to be appraised by a senior disciple of the Sword Hut. Gu Lingfei’s appearance to comment on Lu Shu’s potential seemed like an imperial order.

But Tu Le did not care about these. He just hoped that someone would be able to share the impact of Lu Shu’s firepower...

But something unexpected had happened. Lu Shu asked him for his odds, took the gifts, and asked him to stay behind as well.

There was nothing behind this, but Tu Le suddenly felt as if Lu Shu was treating them like... storage goods?

Not long after, a third person came. The same thing happened.

The fourth person came, but he was not a candidate of the Sword Hut selections. Lu Shu let him go.

Tu Le and the rest did not dare to leave. The three of them started to chat. One of them asked, “Are you a candidate?”

“Yes, I am a candidate as well...”

“You too?”

“Yes, me too...”

When the sixth person came, they sat on the ruins and looked at Lu Shu who was preparing something. They were very bored. At first, they were very nervous. But they gradually relaxed and even joked around.

At first, when only one of them faced Lu Shu, they had a lot of pressure. But with many people around, they were not so scared.

When the sixth person came, Lu Shu suddenly looked at them. “Announce that you are forfeiting.”

Tu Le was speechless.

What in the world?!

Everyone was dumbfounded. There was one Rank One and five Rank Twos. Lu Shu had made them wait so long so that they could forfeit together...

Tu Le finally knew what he had felt just now. Lu Shu had stored them here like goods!

But how did Lu Shu have the confidence to settle one Rank One and five Rank Twos at the same time?

Tu Le and the rest thought about it. Then, they looked at one another. The despair in their eyes revealed their true thoughts... this fellow was very powerful!

Tu Le carefully asked, “Can I ask you something? What bet did you place this time? Our odds are very low. Furthermore...”

Tu Le wanted to say that the servant had left a long time ago. Thus, how did Yi Qian know who would come later.

“Hm.” Lu Shu thought about it. “The gambling den has a fixed bet on how many people will be eliminated that day. I bet that six or more people will be eliminated. The odds are very high...”

Tu Le was speechless. Although the odds that they would be eliminated was not very high, there were still other bets with high odds.

But why did you think about attacking six people from the very beginning? Where did this confidence come from?!

But Tu Le felt that his greatest strength was recognizing the current situation. He asked in a low voice, “How about this? I will redeem myself with a price higher than the odds...”

Lu Shu’s eyes lit up. “Brother!”

Tu Le was speechless.

The name “brother” had appeared once again. Although the way he had become his brother was very complicated, suddenly becoming brothers with a disciple of the Sword Hut was not bad... what if he suddenly made rapid advances in his career?

Lu Xiaoyu felt that in the future, Lu Shu’s brothers would occupy the world.

But Lu Shu felt that this was not proper. “I have already placed my bets in the gambling dens. Why don’t you redeem yourself and trick someone else here?”

“What kind of condition is that?” Tu Le was annoyed.

Hm? Something was wrong. Tu Le suddenly changed his way of thinking? Lu Shu wanted to eliminate six people. Thus, if he tricked someone to come here, he would definitely eliminate a potential enemy!

Although Lu Shu’s greed for money was frustrating, to put it another way, he could also become your aid as long as you had money!

Tu Le gritted his teeth. “Look at it this way. What if I give you more money to ensure my safety in the first round of the selections?”

Lu Shu thought about it. “How much?”

“Four million notes!”

“Five million,” said Lu Shu.

“Deal!” Tu Le exclaimed with confidence.

“Wait. What did you say?”

“Deal!”

“Again!”

“Four million notes,” said Tu Le. He was puzzled.

Lu Shu calmly said, “Eight million.”

Tu Le was speechless.

“From Tu Le’s distress, +748!”

Typically, when people bargained, it would be complicated when the other person did not counter-bargain. Furthermore, typical people would often take back their words and be embarrassed. But Lu Shu was amazing. He was never embarrassed.

In the end, they made a deal for eight million notes. The others also paid the price for their freedom. Then, they asked their subordinates to spread the news. They had to trick people into becoming Lu Shu’s sacrifices...

They spread the news in a very shrewd manner. A family had just sent Lu Shu gifts in an attempt to rope him in.

Other people listened in on the news. These people seemed to chat in a relaxed manner with Lu Shu. They were surrounded by gifts. It looked like a gift party!

This was what competition between the wealthy families was like. No one wanted to lose out to the others. If others were able to rope Lu Shu in with money, they would be able to do so as well!

But when they came to Lu Shu, everyone realized that something was wrong. After Tu Le and the rest finished discussing with Lu Shu, they left, smiling. The rest of the people looked at Lu Shu in despair...

The day that Lu Shu had become a disciple of the Sword Hut, everyone thought that the selections would go back to normal. But the gamblers in the palace jumped into the Long Yin River once again...

Behind the clouds of the Sword Hut, Gu Lingfei rode on her black panther and walked up the mountain. When she saw the young man at the peak of the mountain, she was upset. “Senior, why don’t we cancel his qualifications and chase him out of the palace? If our master is here, he will definitely not stand to see this fellow!”

There was a barely visible white sword in between the eyebrows of the young man. He did not open his eyes. He said, “I am afraid that he might turn his shame into anger and destroy the Sword Hut.”
