All it took was a piece of news from afar, and the lively competition between the Academy of Cultivators seemed to have been forgotten, and no one mentioned it again.
The heated discussion about the competition on the forum was gone, and no one talked about who was the strongest academy. No one even paid attention to the final outcome of the competition.
Everyone's discussion turned into something related to Changbai Mountain, as if that was the only place that could affect everyone's mood.
This was the first time in the history of Tengra's Earth Net faced such a huge foreign enemy. In the past, Nie Ting alone was enough to deal with an invasion. But now, Nie Ting couldn't act casually.
Someone said on the Academy of Cultivators' forum that Tengra should act. All members of Tengra's Earth Net were willing to live and die together. It didn't matter even if the world was destroyed.
But the problem was that these hot-blooded youths had this resolve, while others didn't. Ordinary people also read the foundation forum. So when all the discussions were happening on the foundation forum, there were also different voices among the ordinary people.
The students of the Academy of Cultivators naturally wanted to perish together. They would rather be killed than humiliated. They felt that it didn't matter even if Nie Ting destroyed the world with a single move.
But many ordinary people suddenly jumped out at this time to express their hope that the conflict in the cultivation world wouldn't affect the safety of the world.
The voices became louder and louder, as if they were being influenced by the discussion.
Lü Shu even wondered if the other party had chosen to lead the discussion on the foundation forum instead of the Kingdom of Darkness because they hoped that Nie Ting would be affected by the public opinion of ordinary people.
This kind of choice was very difficult. When the British army evacuated from Dunkirk, even Churchill, who was mature, would also be swayed between "surrender" and "fight to the end". Who could say that they were the wisest?
It was easy for most of the bystanders to say it, but only those who were involved knew how much courage it took to make this decision.
At this time, the internal spies were killed and captured. The students were discussing in private about going to Changbai Mountain to resist the strong enemy together. Some even wrote in blood to request to participate in the battle. In the end, after the blood was written, they couldn't find Zhong Yutang and Dim Radiant Feather …
Lü Shu knew that Dim Radiant Feather had set off for Changbai Mountain after purging the spies, and Zhong Yutang had begun to mobilize the available forces in Yuzhou. How could he have the time to tangle with the students?
The teachers of the Academy of Cultivators were getting nervous. They had been tasked with keeping the students in class. If a student were to suddenly disappear and sneak off to Changbai Mountain, they would have to bear the responsibility.
In the past, Tengra's Earth Net was afraid that the students would be too cowardly, but now, they were no longer cowardly. All of them had become pro-war …
Lü Shu brought Lü Xiaoyu home. Without saying a word, he entered the bedroom and closed the door, quietly going through all the clues.
Meanwhile, Lü Xiaoyu was leaning against the wall and frowning. She was eavesdropping. Beside her, Xiaoxiong Xu wrote and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lü Xiaoyu frowned. "Lü Shu didn't even sing Twinkle Little Star today. He must be in a dilemma."
Xiaoxiong Xu was stunned for a while, unable to figure out what Little Star was talking about.
Lü Xiaoyu looked at Xiaoxiong Xu. "Go next door and ask Lü Shu why he didn't sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star today."
Xiaoxiong Xu felt that this might be a trap. It wrote, "Why don't you ask?"
"Eh, you've become much smarter recently." Lü Xiaoyu said in surprise, "How about I test you on a brain teaser?"
Xiaoxiong Xu wrote proudly, "Go ahead."
"What are the consequences of disobeying Lü Xiaoyu?" Lü Xiaoyu asked.
Xiaoxiong Xu: "???"
What kind of brain teaser is this? It's obviously a naked threat, okay?!
"Negative emotion points from Xiaoxiong Xu, + 499!"
Xiaoxiong Xu lowered its head and went next door to ask. Then Lü Xiaoyu heard the sound of the window next door opening. Then, Lü Shu threw Xiaoxiong Xu out of the window.
"Negative emotion points from Xiaoxiong Xu, + 599!"
Lü Xiaoyu tiptoed to the bedroom next door and looked inside. Lü Shu said angrily, "When did you know I was singing Twinkle Little Star?"
"A long time ago." Lü Xiaoyu used the door to hide half of its face and secretly observed Lü Shu's expression.
"Negative emotion points from Lü Shu, + 666!"
"Come, let's go sit on the roof." Lü Shu got up and took Lü Xiaoyu's hand out of the door. Together, they jumped onto the roof. The two of them sat on the edge of the roof of the small bungalow and looked at the evening lights.
"Are you conflicted about whether to go to Changbai Mountain or not?" Lü Xiaoyu asked curiously. In fact, Lü Xiaoyu knew Lü Shu the best. Usually, Lü Shu went to the rooftop because he was troubled by something.
"Yes." Lü Shu nodded. "You know there's danger waiting for you there. The enemy just smiles and hides in the dark, watching you walk into a trap, but you can't do anything about it. This kind of feeling … it's not good."
"I don't think there's anything to do there." Lü Xiaoyu whispered. "It just so happens that I can absorb a third soul now …"
Lü Shu took a deep breath. He was thinking about whether he would fall into the trap of the mastermind behind the scenes, but Lü Xiaoyu was already thinking about capturing the soul after killing someone …
But on the other hand, Lü Xiaoyu's simple thinking seemed to make him happier. If someone was plotting against him … then he would just kill him and capture his soul …
"Lü Xiaoyu, I'm so envious of you." Lü Shu suddenly sighed. Although Lü Xiaoyu's thinking was ridiculously simple, it could really reduce a lot of troubles.
"Lü Shu, let's go to Changbai Mountain?" Lü Xiaoyu suddenly lowered his voice.
"Hmm?" Lü Shu was stunned. "Why?"
"I know it's going to be dangerous this time. Someone might even be plotting against us and waiting for us to go there." Lü Xiaoyu said, "But I dreamed that something happened to the old man in Changbai Mountain yesterday. I don't want anything to happen to him …"
Lü Shu looked at Lü Xiaoyu in a daze. He used to want Lü Xiaoyu to go to school because he was worried that Lü Xiaoyu would be out of touch with society. What if he gradually lost friends, teachers, and classmates? What if he became a loner?
At that time, Lü Shu knew very well that Lü Xiaoyu didn't seem to care about anything other than Lü Shu.
Originally, Lü Xiaoyu and Lü Shu were two selfish and loner children. But they used to resent not the society of this country. In fact, they didn't have the concept of country in their hearts at that time. They resented the whole world.
Lü Shu never blamed the unfair society. He even sincerely thanked those who helped him. He was more grateful than ordinary people because he knew how to cherish things only after losing them.
But what else in this world was crueler than being abandoned by one's own parents?
But now, too many people had entered their lives, such as Li Xianyi.
Yes, the old man might also be in danger because of the plot.
He could be indifferent when Dim Radiant Feather offered him the position of Tengra, but if he was indifferent when he saw Li Xianyi being ambushed, then what was the point of cultivating?
