Chapter 83: Protection (Part 3)
Nie Ting came to remind Li Xianyi not to let the Golden Foundation interfere with the happenings on the border .
Shi Xuejin came to remind Li Xianyi not to let the Golden Foundation interfere with the remains .
The two Heavenly kings appeared to tell Li Xianyi that this was not a place for the Golden Foundation to interfere .
Two heavenly kings did not go out of their way to pay respects to Li Xianyi because of his worth, but for the Golden Foundation’s worth .
Curious, Lu Shu waited for Shi Xuejin to leave before turning around to ask, "Who was that?"
"Shi Xuejin," Li Xianyi replied without paying more attention to it, as if just saying his name was enough .
"B Class expert? Heavenly King?" Lu Shu continued probing .
"A normal being, Heavenly King," Li Xianyi let out a sigh, "The only one below Class B . within the Heavenly Kings"
This stunned Lu Shu as in his previous conversation with Jiang Shuyi, every Heavenly King was an expert so how could there suddenly be a normal being?
How could a normal being become a Heavenly King? Did this person invent the Yinyang Kinship of the Three method? But that’s preposterous . Lu Shu could not comprehend how a normal being could invent such a method .
And it was this normal being who came to tell Li Xianyi not to let the Golden Foundation interfere with the remains . What a bold move!
Only at this moment did Lu Shu fully understood that Li Xianyi was the boss of the Golden Foundation and not with the Heavenly Network .
The Golden Foundation website was established all over the world without much hindrance which suggested the prowess of the Golden Foundation . Lu Shu had always wondered what kind of existence the Golden Foundation was and who would have thought that the man at the top of it was just in front of him .

He had previously thought that Li Xianyi belonged to the high levels of the Heavenly Network and could even be a Heavenly King himself but what a mistake!
Lu Shu suddenly thought . . . Would it implicate him and Lu Xiaoyu?
It was only natural for him to think so despite his politeness to Li Xianyi . The problem was that both organizations could very likely have disagreements and conflicts .
Even if there were no conflicts, Lu Shu did not wish to have his name known within the Heavenly Network .
As though he saw through Lu Shu’s mind, Li Xianyi casually said, "Don’t worry, I will not let anyone know that you’re learning from me . Ever since I recovered no one could spy on me within a radius of 1km without me realizing . Furthermore, they came with sincerity, not to spy on me . "
Lu Shu sensed a confidence in the old man’s words and finally relaxed . . . At least this proved that no one knew about him learning swordplay from this old man .
The old man’s words made a lot of sense . The Heavenly King called Shi Xuejin said that the last seat among the Heavenly Kings was reserved for him and to spy on him after saying that would be despicable .
Lu Shu could feel the unusual aura surrounding the man Shi Xuejin .
He thought for a moment and asked, "For future swordplay trainings, can we not do it at your place?"
Li Xianyi had this confidence and unwavering spirit which made him fearless but Lu Shu did not .
Li Xianyi shot him a look, "A Class F aptitude Daoyuan class student like you, what is there to be afraid of? Why is Shi Xuejin a normal being? Because he has no aptitude for powers so he knows the importance of it . He had simply given up on using resources to make up for his lack of aptitude and chose to take a different path . "

So this was it! Lu Shu had a sudden realization why Li Xianyi emphasized on his Class F aptitude- his Class F aptitude was actually his greatest protection!
What was so special about Class F aptitude? It’s so low that even if he was living beside Li Xianyi, the Heavenly Network would not worry about his aptitude for swordplay . . .
Lu Shu was really grateful for this unprecedented luck . The blood drive had led him to escape the radar of the Heavenly Network .
Although being treated as a good-for-nothing did not feel good, safety was still of utmost priority . If Lu Shu was a patriot that had a loyalty to serve the organization, he would announce his real aptitude, I’m not Class F!
But was he that kind of person? No .
Lu Shu was elated . He hoped that everyone would find him useless which would be ideal .
Lu Shu also thought that if he did not want to be under the Heavenly Network’s radar, he had to fulfill all the requirements of a Class F aptitude and be the lowest-ranking student . Even as he had announced being awakened as a strength-type, he should not exceed Class E .
Lu Shu felt that from Class D onwards, the number of people achieving the subsequent classes would decrease in numbers like going up a pyramid and this could be predicted from the aptitudes . Those with Class B aptitudes and below would require at least half a year of training to reach Class E and to reach Class D would require years .
And Class E was useful enough . Even though Lu Shu was still Class F, he could still ‘awaken’ again . . .
In today’s world, no one would remember a person of no value .
Lu Shu was really grateful to the man from the Heavenly Network who forcefully drew his blood . Without the Class F aptitude, his days would not be as smooth .
Li Xianyi noticed Lu Shu’s expression and understood that he was the kind who lived by his own morals .
"Speaking of which, did Lu Xiaoyu anger that guy just now?" Lu Shu was still curious about the distress points he received .
Furiously, Li Xianyi replied, "Ask Lu Xiaoyu, ‘a distant friend is visiting’, what’s the second half?"
Lu Shu turned his curious gaze onto Lu Xiaoyu as she obediently replied, "a distant friend is visiting, and comes happiness and joy . "
Li Xianyi, "???"
You didn’t say that just now!
"From Li Xianyi’s distress, +311!"
"Hehe," Lu Shu knew Lu Xiaoyu must have said something else if not he would not have received that kind of distress points . . .
This young lady is really smart witted…
"Alright then, I’ll be heading back to school after retrieving my things . Lu Xiaoyu, you can follow them for lunch and this 300 dollar is for Xiaoyu’s meal," Lu Shu pretended to retrieve his things before leaving for school . Lu Xiaoyu had mentioned that Aunty Liu’s meals were really tasty .
Seeing the 300 dollars on the table, Li Xianyi was enraged .
He did not wish for Lu Shu to regard him as an outsider but yet, this teen was too stubborn .
"From Li Xianyi’s distress, +81!"
Li Xianyi also realized that he had been fuming a lot ever since he met this sibling!
In the past, Lu Shu would have premade lunch and brought his share to school while leaving a share for Li Xiaoyu which she could heat up using the microwave . Lunch break was only 40 mins and that was not enough for him to return home to make lunch for Lu Xiaoyu .
But this was still incomparable to freshly cooked meals and he couldn't make sure that Lu Xiaoyu ate her meal on time . And so, it would be good to let Lu Xiaoyu eat with Li Xianyi and Aunty Liu .
Being an older brother was worrying . . .
