Just as the Jianlu candidates were feeling insecure, the selection began half a month earlier. When Gu Lingfei rode the Black Panther out of the clouds to announce this news, all the citizens of the Imperial City were shocked. The aristocrats were no exception.
Everyone knew why the first round of assessment had been brought forward. There had been too many accidents in this year's Jianlu selection. In the past, no one had ever been accepted into the Jianlu early, but this year it had. In the past, there had never been an assessment that had changed the time, but this year it had.
And what was the difference between this year's Jianlu selection and the previous ones was that Lü Shu had not participated in the past, but now there was …
Many people noticed that Gu Lingfei's expression was not very good, as if she was in a bad mood.
Normally, who would dare to provoke Gu Lingfei? The other great grandmasters of the Jianlu rarely showed their faces in public, as if they were cultivating every day and did not care about the affairs of the world. In the Jianlu, it was said that the eldest senior was in charge, but in fact, the daily management was done by Gu Lingfei.
Therefore, Gu Lingfei was actually the chief housekeeper of the Jianlu, and she was also the one who was most favored by the master of the Jianlu.
Before Gu Lingfei had become a great grandmaster, she had been very rude and unreasonable. The aristocrats of the Imperial City could not do anything to her, and it had been a headache. After all, she was the favorite disciple of the master of the Jianlu. What could they do to her?
When Gu Lingfei had become a great grandmaster, many aristocrats had despaired. They had thought that Gu Lingfei would be even more rude and unreasonable, but the result was surprising. Gu Lingfei had actually restrained her temper and seemed to understand the big picture.
At this time, Gu Lingfei really wanted to kill Lü Shu. This was because the Jianlu selection was related to the reputation of the entire Jianlu. After the second round of assessment, the Jianlu Ceremony would be held. At that time, all the descendants of the Jianlu would return to participate in the ceremony, and various powers would come to watch.
The ceremony was not to see how powerful the Jianlu was. In the past, during the Jianlu Ceremony, the master of the Jianlu Ceremony would evolve his own swordsmanship, which benefited many people. Ever since the master of the Jianlu Ceremony disappeared, the person who would evolve the swordsmanship became the eldest senior of the Jianlu.
Although the eldest senior of the Jianlu Ceremony had not surpassed the realm of a great grandmaster, the realm of the swordsmanship could still attract countless people.
Thus, the Jianlu Ceremony became one of the most important events of the year in Lü Zhou.
However, just when the whole of Lü Zhou was paying attention to the Jianlu Ceremony, a problem like Lü Shu actually appeared …
Gu Lingfei wanted to kill Lü Shu, but the eldest senior did not agree. He even said some things that she did not understand. Gu Lingfei sincerely admired the eldest senior, who had sat on the top of the mountain and cultivated for more than ten years. However, she always felt that the eldest senior was hiding something in his heart and was not willing to say it.
What trouble could a small first-rank Lü Shu cause in the future? At most, he would only be a great grandmaster. Could he destroy the Jianlu Ceremony?
It was not that Gu Lingfei did not think of other possibilities, but when she asked the eldest senior, she received a negative answer.
Now, the selection of the Jianlu Ceremony was suddenly brought forward because they did not want to see Lü Shu torment all the other candidates.
To Lü Shu, this was like a bolt from the blue, and he took drastic measures …
This was because he could not go up to the arena for the first round of assessment …
Not only could he not go up, but everyone was in the Jianlu Ceremony. Even if Lü Shu had two guts, he would not dare to cause trouble in the Jianlu Ceremony.
"It's over, it's all over," Lü Shu sighed. "Prepare to make a deal with the Sun Clan. We won't be able to earn much money in the future."
"Yes." Lü Xiaoyu nodded. "Other than setting aside a small portion for expenses, the money we have now is enough to buy 12,000 sets of artifacts and armors. The profit is quite good. I just don't know if Sun Zhongyang can take out so many artifacts and armors."
When Lü Shu went to the Sun Clan, Sun Zhongyang was shocked. He thought that Lü Shu did not have much money on hand, and that it would be good if he could at most exchange for one or two thousand artifacts and armors. In the end, it seemed that the entire Sun Clan did not have that many artifacts and armors. After all, the Sun Clan did not have that many artifacts and armors!
Sun Zhongyang looked at Lü Shu and said, "Give me two months, and the Sun Clan will forge a batch for you overnight …"
Lü Shu smacked his lips. "The Sun Clan does not even have 12,000 artifacts and armors?"
Sun Zhongyang did not feel good. Why did this make it seem like the Sun Clan was very weak? It was clearly because you were too good at making money! This amount of armor was actually nothing to the Sun Clan. The key was, who would have so much time to save up so many artifacts and armors? Currently, most of the armies in Lü Zhou did not like to be equipped with such expensive things. For those in power, human lives were like grass. The social class had already solidified, and the people of the lower class were just ants.
In the past, the territories of the Emperor Of Heaven were also fixed. In the past decade or so, everyone began to fight each other, and the borders began to blur. However, it did not reach the point of fighting to the death.
Everyone was still afraid of the one in the Divine King's palace. The borders were set by the Old Divine King, and everyone was given a quarter of the territory according to the rules. However, did everyone really not have any other thoughts? Not necessarily.
Sometimes, the war at the border was more like a test. As for what the test was, it was not something that ordinary aristocrats could guess.
"Alright, I'll give you two months. After two months, I will come to the Sun Clan on time to collect my armor," Lü Shu said.
"What do you want so much armor for? Who are you planning to wage war against?" Sun Zhongyang was a little confused. "You, Wu Weijun, only have a total of 5,000 people! Artifacts and armors are not easy to break, and they are not fast consumables. "
"Can't I keep them as treasures for my family?" Lü Shu was unhappy. "If you want to do business, then do business. Why do you care what I want to do with them?"
He could not possibly tell Sun Zhongyang that he was going to use them as local specialties when he returned to Earth …
Lü Shu, Nie Ting, and all the other Tengra members would not be like the superiors of Lü Zhou and treat their fellow members of Tengra's Earth Net as ants and grass. Human lives were human lives. An extra set of armor could increase everyone's safety.
However, at this moment, when Lü Shu was still in the Sun Clan's side courtyard, he saw a servant of the Sun Clan hurriedly run to Sun Zhongyang's side and whisper something.
Lü Shu moved closer to listen to what they were saying. Sun Zhongyang helplessly pushed Lü Shu. "You're almost leaning on me!"
"Ahem." Lü Shu was not embarrassed. "Did something happen?"
"You know that the Jianlu Ceremony is going to start early." Sun Zhongyang said, "But what is more surprising is that the Emperor Of Heaven's people have also arrived early. Just now, the people of Western Province's Duanmu Huangqi have already entered the capital on horseback. There is a huge carriage behind them. Some people speculate that this time, Duanmu Huangqi may personally come to watch the ceremony!"
