Chapter 991: Too Slow!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhang Weiyu had reminded Li Heitan and the rest that they could eliminate the bandits, but no other incidents should happen .

But Li Heitan and the rest were crazy with joy, as they did not have to do homework or attend cultural classes . At first, Li Heitan and the rest were still quite mild . But when the white squirrel suddenly led an army of mice, the situation changed .

But Nangeng City was very safe . There were mice in every corner of the city . Even those who tried to seduce women could not escape their gaze .

But Zhang Weiyu could not understand . Lu Shu had never told him about this squirrel . Furthermore, it was a human-like Rank Two squirrel!

But even though Lu Shu had never told them about Little Fury, the Wei Wu Army had never doubted Little Fury’s origins… its face was printed on the soap!

Thus, although Little Fury was worried that Lu Shu would not be able to explain its origins, it later on realized that its identity was not a cause of concern to the Wei Wu Army!

Furthermore, Little Fury had written out its origins for Li Heitan and the rest . They were all filled with veneration . Little Fury was a senior disciple!

At the same time, Lu Shu made his move in the palace . He waited for the entire morning before sorting out the bets and odds in the gambling dens .

The night before, the Li family, who was originally ranked fourth, suddenly bought the fourth ranking once again for the person ranked fifth . With Ding Qiushui and Duanmu Yunge eliminated, this candidate called Yu Wentao was the most talked-about candidate other than Lu Shu…

Li Fangfeng, the genius from the Li family, was an experienced soldier who had fought at the boundary . Although his achievements were not as outstanding as that of Ding Qiushui, he was very ferocious . Thus, with his wealthy background and experience, he was ranked highly even though he had just advanced to Rank One .

At first, the Li family was very happy . It was good for their image to be ranked so high . But last night, when they suddenly received the news, they were unhappy . Although the wealthy families in the palace had fame and power, the commander of the Wei Wu Army had eliminated the illegitimate sons of the Lords of Heaven . The wealthy families in the palace would not be spared…

But the wealthy families had money . Li Fangfeng’s father talked to all the gambling dens in the palace and bought the fourth placing for Yu Wentao .

This time, it was Yu Wentao’s turn to be uncomfortable…

But that afternoon, Yu Wentao was not the one who was eliminated . Instead, someone in the middle of the rankings had been eliminated .

Everyone was dumbfounded . A lot of people had placed bets that Yu Wentao would be eliminated . How did this kind of accident suddenly occur?

A group of people started to jump into the Long Yin River, complaining that the gambling dens had sabotaged them…

Suddenly, everyone came to a realization . What characteristics did the one who was eliminated have? His odds were the highest…

When the news that Lu Shu would eliminate other candidates according to their ranking, broke out, everyone placed bets that Yu Wentao would be eliminated . The more people who placed bets, the lower the odds would become .

Thus, if Lu Shu eliminated Yu Wentao, they would not earn much money .

Everyone now understood . Lu Shu did not go according to the rankings to eliminate people . He looked at their odds…

Everyone also discovered that up till this point, Lu Shu was responsible for all the candidates who had been eliminated .

Everyone gasped in shock . There had never been such a ferocious candidate in history . He dared to challenge the entire Sword Hut selection candidates by himself!

The boss of the Song Ji gambling den was melancholic . He had earned money from the bets placed on Yu Wentao, as the person who had been eliminated this time was not Yu Wentao . Thus, the bets placed on Yu Wentao would go back to the gambling dens .

The problem was, although they had earned money, someone had bet a large amount of money on the candidate who was in the middle of the rankings!

Who earned money in the end? Lu Shu .

Xiao Mingze was furious . “Can you find him? If we can’t find Lu Shu, everyone will be punished . No one is to run away!”

A manager hurried in . “Boss, the Li family has sent someone here . This time, they want to buy Yu Wentao’s odds!”

Xiao Mingze was dumbfounded . “The Li family has something against Yu Wentao…”

The manager thought about it . “I think Yu Wentao wants to know why too…”

At that moment, someone suddenly reported, “Boss, something terrible has happened!”

Xiao Mingze was alert . “Who did Lu Shu eliminate this time? How much did he bet?”

“No . ” The person who reported this piece of news panted . “Someone has entered that house!”

House? What house? Xiao Mingze was dumbfounded . It took some time for him to realize that it was the house the Song Ji gambling den had given Lu Shu!

“Hurry, hurry . ” Xiao Mingze jumped up . “Bring me there!”

Although everyone knew that the house belonged to Lu Shu, they did not react as quickly as the Song Ji gambling den .

Xiao Mingze was racing against time . As long as he ran fast enough, the odds would not catch up to him…

Xiao Mingze knew that when Lu Shu stayed publicly in the house that the Song Ji gambling den had given him, it meant that they were willing to discuss with the Song Ji gambling den after earning enough money from this afternoon’s accident .

They were not enemies, but Lu Shu was extremely unhappy that the Song Ji gambling den had accidentally placed Lu Shu in first place . This was the reason all these events had happened .

But no matter whether it was Xiao Mingze or Lu Shu, they missed the days that they earned money together .

If Lu Shu had not worked with the gambling dens, he would not be able to earn much money . On the other hand, if Xiao Mingze did not work with Lu Shu, he would not be able to earn much either .

The gambling dens had many methods to ensure that they did not lose money . But the problem was, a money-squandering den like the Song Ji gambling den would not be considered as they were losing money!

Lu Shu staying in the house meant that the cold war was over . Business would return to its regular state .

Xiao Mingze hurried over . Lu Shu smiled joyfully and welcomed him . They discussed for 30 minutes .

Then, Xiao Mingze took the chance while everyone had not reacted to secretly leak out Lu Shu’s position!

The entire palace stirred . Everyone was still guessing when Lu Shu would appear, but now, his position had been exposed!

The candidates for the Sword Hut were ready to take action . In the past, they were unable to find Lu Shu . But now that they had found Lu Shu, they could think of a better strategy . For example, working together to eliminate Lu Shu!

To everyone, Lu Shu was the chief culprit that had messed up the entire selections . With him around, they would not be able to have a proper fight .

Furthermore, no matter how amazing Lu Shu was, he would not be able to stop all the other candidates, right? There were six Rank Ones and over 30 Rank Twos!

Everyone started to move . Some managers in the Song Ji gambling den could not understand . “Boss, why does Lu Shu want to expose his own position?”

Xiao Mingze sighed . “He doesn’t want to eliminate the rest one by one . He said it was too slow…”
