"Ah, ah," Lu Shu remembered that he had tricked Lvy Xiao Yu to capture the pig this morning and felt a bit uneasy. Moreover, he had even blown up someone's pig, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
However, this time was different from earlier in the morning. "We need trust between us. Am I the kind of person who would betray you?" Lu Shu said with a righteous tone.
"Are you," Lvy Xiao Yu looked at Lu Shu expressionlessly.
"You're making me sound like someone I'm not!" Lvy Xiao Yu's words made Lu Shu feel a bit miffed.
"Haha, when you start playing tricks on people, you aren't human anymore," Lvy Xiao Yu still maintained her emotionless expression.
Although they were joking around, Lvy Xiao Yu knew that Lu Shu had something important to do tonight. After all, he was chasing after three fugitives.
However, they couldn't go straight there. Li Xianyi lived nearby, so Lu Shu and Lvy Xiao Yu discussed a strategy. Lvy Xiao Yu suggested saying that Lu Shu wanted to take her out for late-night snacks. This would give them a valid reason to leave the house!
Lu Shu thought about it; this was not bad at all!
Then, the two of them walked while chatting about going to the famous cheap and delicious night market in Luoyang called 'Xiao Street Tianfu' for some late-night snacks.
Once they were one kilometer away from their home, they started bouncing around on the roof towards the north. Li Xianyi had said that within a kilometer, no one could monitor him, so they would leave and continue once they got past this distance...
Lvy Xiao Yu felt a strange sense of excitement as she followed Lu Shu; it was like something only between them, keeping secrets from everyone else!
While they were still about one kilometer away from where Lu Shu had faced the fugitives, he stopped and said to Lvy Xiao Yu, "Use your Sparrow to scout ahead. Fly high so no one notices you, head north for about a kilometer. If you spot any suspicious individuals, let me know immediately. If not, we can come back another time or give up. We cannot take the risk."
Lu Shu was well aware that there was no need to stay here even if it meant being in danger. From past incidents, the Sky Net usually cleaned up after their job and vanished. But better safe than sorry.
After all, Lvy Xiao Yu had her Sparrow, which could give them a wider view of the surroundings. Better be cautious.
The two crouched in a corner on the roof as the black smoke of the Sparrow flew northward. Lu Shu also wanted to see how far this skill extended. His records showed that over 9000 negative emotion points had been accumulated from unfamiliar names, making it difficult for him to distinguish between the fugitives and the Sky Net members. At the time, he was too focused on the battle to pay attention to these details.
After some calculations, accounting for recent gains and the cost of using his lottery items, Lu Shu realized that he could light up his third star if he combined the 20 Star Fruits from the lottery with his cultivation progress. This realization made him feel like his actions in combat were actually quite profitable.
However, he did not wish this to happen often. His cultivation was for more choices in life, not just for fighting and killing.
Therefore, Lu Shu did not consider this a source of income. The battle today had given him significant confidence. He now knew what level of Awakeners or cultivators he could face.
