Spare Me, Great Lord!

Chapter 173: New Fruit (Part 1) Lu Shu was rather annoyed after he received Xi Fei’s message. This was the first time he was informed of a parent meeting.

In the past when he was still at the orphanage, he would attend normal public schools. The teachers of the school knew about the situation of these students very clearly. Initially, these kids couldn’t even afford to go to school and only with the help of an entrepreneur could they attend school. Prior to that, everyone had lessons in the orphanage by their own orphanage staff.

It was already a miracle to be able to sustain his good academic performance to get into Luo Cheng international school despite such circumstances.

Most orphans ended up as thieves and criminals. Their own character and upbringing were contributing factors but it wasn’t fair to claim that society was not to be blamed at all.

After Lu Shu went to high school, there weren’t parent meetings anymore. If there was anything such as trouble, they’d call the parents down personally. Who’d bother with a parent meeting? High schools which organized such meetings were few if any.

So after Lu Shu came to Luo Cheng International School, parent meetings never occurred in his mind. And in the end, his normal school didn’t organize one and instead, daoyuan class is organizing a parent meeting…

What meeting, I don’t have parents alright, Lu Shu was slightly annoyed. At this point, not having parents wasn’t something sad to Lu Shu anymore. There were only some exceptions, such as that day on Mt Beimang. Under the dark sky and looking at all the other parents, Lu Shu occasionally wondered how his own parents looked like.

Usually, he wasn’t the least sad. Apart from some troublesome matters….

It was indeed troublesome for an underaged teenager to not have parents.

Daoyuan’s parent meeting this time definitely involved something important. Based on Lu Shu’s thinking, it was likely regarding the deaths at the remains. Which students would stay and which would go? Or maybe the heavenly network wanted to change the education structure?

No matter what it was about, it was definitely very important.

Lu Shu was troubled, who would he ask to go? The only person around him who could pass off as his parent would be Li Xianyi, or maybe aunty Liu?

But these two had the identity of leaders of the golden foundation and it wasn’t very appropriate for them to go. If Li Xianyi went, the entire heavenly network would definitely feel tense as if an enemy came into their territory.

Moreover, they did not have any blood relations. Why would they attend the parent meeting?

Apart from assuming that they weren’t willing, if Li Xianyi went alone, it would be sufficient for the heavenly network to associate Lu Shu with the golden foundation. Would he still be able to go into the remains of their country then? Maybe everyone would be allowed to go except for him if that happened…

He just experienced victory and success in the remains, how could he give up future remains so easily…

It would be fine if he was part of the golden foundation but in reality, he wasn’t. It was like he wasn’t part of either party.

In actual fact, he didn’t want to be on either side.

There is no mistaking that humans are civilized and social creatures. But all that was based on the foundations of rules and regulations of the past. If one did not have the ability or powers to be the best, he had to abide by the rules of the society.

But what was the situation now? Lu Shu definitely had the ability to increase his class and earn some money, then live life day by day.

When practitioners achieved class B onward, would they be constricted to standing by societal rules and regulations? Even if they were, what about those in class A?

Simply speaking, if a class A stayed in the capital, you’d be aware that there was no way you could harm this person. So would you still throw a grenade in his direction?

The rules and regulations of society were now being slowly reconstructed. A huge change was impending and there were bound to be conflicts and resolutions, but all these wouldn’t happen overnight.

No one knew what societal norms would be like. So to Lu Shu, the most appropriate choice was to grow and develop slowly under the shelter of the heavenly network.

But if he suddenly claimed that he was the best in the world and that he should be part of the golden foundation instead of the heavenly network, perhaps on the same day next year, the weed in front of his tomb would be… a meter tall?

He was now a member of the heavenly network and as part of this huge organization, he wanted to slowly understand the changes in the world.

He merely made the safest choice – to integrate into the organization without much attention.

Since no one else was suitable to go and Lu Shu couldn’t miss this parent meeting, he could only go on his own…

Coincidentally, he had to buy new clothes. He bought a set which made him look more mature, but people could tell the truth easily due to his kiddy face. But Lu Shu still felt the need to at least act more mature at the meeting.

Lu Shu returned home after buying the clothes but got an earful from Lu Xiaoyu who couldn’t stand that look, “You don’t look the least bit like a parent, you don’t have the face of one.”

After saying that, she ransacked the house and found a pair of old glasses for Lu Shu, “The landlord’s, remove the lens.”

Lu Shu removed the lenses from the glasses and put them on. He turned to the mirror and was surprised to see that he looked much more mature…

He then turned to look at Lu Xiaoyu. In the past, people on the web always noted, “How do girls master makeup and styling under no one’s guidance after they reach a certain age?”

Looking at Lu Xiaoyu managing to give him a different look now, Lu Shu felt that this issue was a… mystery.

Lu Shu went back to his room and Lu Xiaoyu was training by herself outside. As for little fury, Lu Shu did not have any plans for it.

As for Lu Shu, he had to persevere.

He still had to practice swordplay the next morning and after that, he had to sell stinky tofu. Lu Shu wasn’t the type of person to just idle around.

He had not entered the lottery for a long time. He now had 85 thousand distress points at his disposal. After many days causing distress in the remain, his income recently had slowly diminished, only getting a few points occasionally.

Lu Shu pondered and decided to use 5 thousand for the lottery. As for the rest, he would save up to 160 thousand to light up his sixth star.

His really wanted to know if another little sword of the seven souls of instincts will be conjured after lighting up the second nebula.

The moonlight was thin and delicate outside his window. Lu Shu sat below his bed and pressed the button for the lottery. The wheel started spinning as usual.

And during his first attempt at the lottery, Lu Shu saw a white fruit which was the size of a peach. The needle then pointed at it.

The white fruit looked extremely illusory, as if it was formed by swirling clouds.

Lu Shu was surprised. This was actually a new fruit!
