Spare Me, Great Lord!-Novel2

Chapter 214: Stalking (Part 1)

The sky turned dark rather late at Xijing market. It was summer and the sun would only gradually set beyond the horizon at approximately 9 pm.

It wasn’t to say that the altitude here was extremely high, but the difference in longitude between this place and the capital was extremely great. The land of China covered a really vast area, an area so great that citizens have trouble visualizing it in its entirety.

Lu Shu gazed at the speck of red light behind some infrastructure far away. The darkness of the night was impending.

He brought Lu Xiaoyu to hide behind a group of people as they waited for the appearance of those four daoyuan students. It would be alright if he didn’t know about the existence of the black market. But since he knew of it, he should naturally pay it a visit.

Wouldn’t it be great if he could sell his magical stones off secretly?

Lu Shu was thinking. If he really sold the stones, the only form of payment he could accept was cash. He didn’t have a bank account under someone else’s name and even if he did, it was easy to trace it back to him now that there was so much surveillance technology.

Cash is still the most reliable.

He wasn’t worried about the heavenly network possibly halting their provision of magical stones. On the other hand, he was more worried about people realizing the issue of him not needing these magical stones. Although people viewed his aptitude as extremely poor, as long as he could amass 9 stones, he should be able to master the yinyang kinship of the three and advance to class E.

He had to treat this with caution.

There was already someone waiting for Yuan Liangtuo and his companions as they appeared. These four students boarded an SUV and left, while Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu leaped up onto the roofs, jumping and bolting their way to follow the SUV.

Lu Shu suddenly remembered Yuan Liangtuo mentioning that he had relatives in Xijing City, and the news of the black market was also shared with him by a relative of his.

“Why do I have a feeling that it’s unreliable?” Lu Shu said softly.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Xiaoyu was curious.

“His relative doesn’t have any energy waves within him. If even a normal person knows about the black market…”

How could it still be a black market?!

It would be weird if such a black market wasn’t under the control of the heavenly network.

But then again, could it be done by the heavenly network on purpose? Sometimes, it was wise to contain such stuff by allowing it in moderation, or the heavenly network was controlling it directly from behind? It seemed quite plausible.

Since he had already thought of this, should he still go?

Go!

Lu Shu decided to go and take a look. He just had to be cautious and wary when he got there. He believed that in such a big city, not many people would be able to catch him if he was really intent on running.

Qingzhou was not one of the main strongholds under the jurisdiction of one of the seven heavenly kings. Instead, Beijiang state and Nancang state, even further west, were each helmed by a heavenly king. Based on geography, the seven heavenly kings, apart from Li Yixiao who was situated in the center, were guarding the borders of the country silently.

And with his current abilities, he could probably run from anyone apart from a heavenly king.

After all, a class D strength type metahuman was fundamentally and physically stronger than other practitioners by a notch.

Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu were bolting around on top of roofs. With their physical advantage, it was difficult to lose track of a car in such a city crammed with cars.

“This relative of his looks very rich, the cars he drives are all branded. This Yuan Liangtuo’s family background should be quite well-off, or he wouldn’t have brought more money than the others.” Lu Shu analyzed, as the car Yuan Liangtuo was in was caught in a jam…

Speaking of which, his relative had probably not been to the black market before, and everything was hearsay. Why else would there be such a great misvaluation of ten thousand dollars for a magical stone?

The black SUV ended up in a small area. Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu infiltrated the area, initially planning to send Little Fury to find out which floor they stayed on. Only upon entering the area did they realize that they were actually staying in a villa…

Luckily, this small area was filled with greenery and the siblings didn’t have to worry about being discovered as they concealed themselves.

“What should we do now?” Lu Xiaoyu asked softly.

Lu Shu was in deep thought. These people chose to come to Qingzhou for the black market and it would likely be their first stop given how excited they were.

But he had no idea when they would set off for the black market. Since it was the black market, it probably didn’t operate in the morning but in the darkness of the night?

Now, he didn’t have any other method of surveillance. He tried using the seal of lands on the train, but apart from Luo Cheng, it could not be used anywhere else. Or else, it would be the best and most effective way of surveillance.

“Little Fury, wait here first. I’ll bring you over to a hotel to rest. After all, you have no identification card and you won’t be able to get a room on your own. I’ll come back here to keep watch with Little Fury after you’re settled in,” Lu Shu said after some thinking.

Little Fury, “???”

Little Fury felt uncomfortable upon hearing Lu Shu say that it had to keep watch here alone. But after hearing that Lu Shu would return only to continue to keep watch here with it, it was utterly disappointed!

Do I really have to keep watch here? Can’t I go and rest with Lu Xiaoyu?

“From Little Fury’s distress, +1+1…”

Lu Xiaoyu suddenly spoke, “If we only need to keep watch here, a soul puppet can do it. My senses can be shared with it as long as our distance doesn’t exceed 5 kilometers. It can act on its own as well. As long as I give it the order to stay here and keep watch, it would inform me if someone comes out of the house.”

Lu Shu’s eyes lit up. Is it really so amazing? He didn’t expect the soul puppet to be so useful in keeping watch.

Upon further consideration, the soul puppet’s black appearance was easy to conceal in the dark of the night and it would be difficult to spot it.

Little Fury almost wanted to hug Lu Xiaoyu till it cried. My benefactor!

But just then, the doors of the villa reopened. The people who just entered the house left their luggage inside and with each of them carrying a backpack, that relative of Yuan Liangtuo’s started up the car and left with them.

Lu Shu was baffled for a moment. Could the black market really be operating now? Lu Shu would still believe that these people were on their way to having supper if they didn’t carry those backpacks, but all of them were wearing caps and mouth masks, looking extremely mysterious. historical

Lu Shu would not believe it if they were going anywhere else other than the black market!

“Go! Let’s follow them!” Lu Shu said softly.
