Ever since the establishment of King City and the appearance of Jianlu in Lü Zhou, Jianlu had never made an exception for anyone. Everyone had to go through two levels of assessment and go through extremely difficult battles in the open and in the dark before they could obtain that precious spot.
Never, never, ever, an exception.
However, when Lü Shu came to King City, this exception happened unexpectedly, and there was no preparation at all.
The citizens of King City, who were cheering excitedly, suddenly fell into a deathly silence. How could it be an early admission? This was against the rules!
But when everyone thought about it carefully, what were rules? Jianlu had never broken this precedent before, but it had never been said that Jianlu had a rule that did not break this precedent.
"We were happy for nothing?" Someone stood in the middle of the crowd and asked.
"All the firecrackers were set off for nothing?" Another person asked.
Just a moment ago, everyone was still celebrating, but now it was as if they had fallen into an icy cold cave. Not only did that God angering Lü Shu not get eliminated, he was even admitted into Jianlu in advance.
This was very awkward. Go do what you need to do!
"But did you guys realize that after Lü Shu was admitted in advance, there is one good thing about it. At least the gambling house's bets have stabilized, and no one is manipulating them!" Someone comforted everyone. It was unknown whether he was comforting others or himself.
Someone suddenly realized that the citizens of King City had not been so united against a common enemy for a long time. Everyone's cohesiveness was unprecedentedly strong.
Usually, the neighbors of King City might have some conflicts or something, but when faced with a problematic contestant like Lü Shu, everyone's attitude was surprisingly unanimous.
However, Lü Shu's house had been demolished, and now that Lü Shu had been admitted into Jianlu, to the citizens, Jianlu was the most noble place apart from the Divine King's Palace. Since Lü Shu was a disciple of Jianlu, then everyone would let bygones be bygones.
Actually, this was a way out that everyone was well aware of … Otherwise, what could they do to Lü Shu?
But Li Fang Feng and the others were not happy. Why would such a contestant be admitted into Jianlu in advance? Why?
One should know that Jianlu was not a place that only looked at strength. This was because Jianlu did not care about one's strength before entering. Whether it was Rank-1 or Rank-2, it was all the same. This was because Jianlu had the confidence of Jianlu. As long as one's talent and character were up to standard, strength was not a problem.
But what about Lü Shu? What everyone was most unconvinced about was … Could Lü Shu really pass the Jianlu examination with that kind of character of his? Are you guys blind?!
Of course, this was what he thought, but he couldn't say it out loud. After all, no one could afford to offend the Jianlu …
This time, Li Fangfeng did not purposely organize anyone. Instead, he took the lead and arrived outside the clouds of Jianlu. He wanted to ask why!
"Disciple Li Fangfeng invites the senior of Jianlu to come out and speak." There were quite a number of candidates standing behind Li Fangfeng. Everyone was feeling indignant in their hearts. On what basis could Lü Shu be the first in the Jianlu Recommendation?
"Disciple Yu Wentao, please come out and speak with a senior of Jianlu."
"Disciple …"
At this moment, a lazy voice interrupted from the clouds. "Alright, alright. Listen up. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, scram."
This voice was somewhat gender-neutral, but one could still tell that the other party was a female.
"Why can Lü Shu be selected in advance? Jianlu has never done this before! This is against the rules! "Li Fangfeng asked loudly.
At this moment, the number of commoners in the capital who were watching this scene was increasing. Everyone wanted to watch a show. Actually, this matter did not have much to do with them. However, they were curious, so they were willing to be part of the crowd.
The voice in the clouds said impatiently, "What are rules? The Divine King Gong did not speak. Jianlu is the rule. Don't you understand this logic? "
At this moment, there seemed to be a humongous creature walking out from the clouds. Even the ground was shaking.
"It's Gu Lingfei …" Someone had already recognized the person. Not only was the voice very iconic, but the other characteristics of the other party were even more obvious.
At this moment, a two-story tall black panther slowly walked out from the clouds. On top of the black panther's head sat a young lady. She was wearing a loose white robe with red edges. Her hands were hidden in the sleeves.
Li Fangfeng and the rest could not help but take a few steps back. This was one of the four Grandmasters of Jianlu!
The black panther stared coldly at everyone in front of it. However, it did not act rashly. It was as if with the young lady on its head around, it was an obedient beast.
Li Fangfeng's voice became softer. He bowed and said, "But that Lü Shu's character is not proper! The reason why Jianlu is respected by our people is because … "
"Wait a moment," Gu Lingfei interrupted impatiently again. "Why is Jianlu able to stand tall in Lü Zhou? Is it because we have a good character and are respected by others? Is it because we have disciples all over the world? No, let me tell you, it's because we can fight. Is there anything else? "
Li Fangfeng lowered his head and gritted his teeth. "This is not fair!"
"Alright, stop acting like you would rather break than bend. Jianlu has a good eye for talent. If you are not bad, you will definitely be able to enter Jianlu. If you are not good enough, no matter how much you act, it will be useless." Gu Lingfei looked down at Li Fangfeng. "Recruiting Lü Shu into Jianlu in advance was Eldest Senior's idea. Do you think we are being biased? We are protecting you! "
Everyone was stunned. How should they put it? Could it be that in Jianlu's eyes, Lü Shu was already this strong? Could it be that Jianlu thought that Lü Shu would be a threat to all the other candidates?
"Do you think he only wants the Jianlu's quota and that bit of money from the gambling house?" Gu Lingfei said disdainfully. "Did you not realize that he actually planned to eliminate all of you from the start? Not letting Lü Shu participate in the selection with all of you is the greatest fairness. "
The onlookers gasped. It couldn't be, right? Was this Lü Shu so arrogant?
But when these words came from the mouth of the Grandmaster of Jianlu, no one doubted it. They subconsciously thought that it was true!
For some reason, almost everyone felt that they might have underestimated the commander of the Wu Wei Army. It was no wonder that he could lead the Wu Wei Army to such a great reputation!
But … everyone felt that he was really doing it for money!
"Disperse. He is not someone you can catch up to. Instead of comparing with him, it is better to focus on your own cultivation." Gu Lingfei drove the Black Panther back into the clouds, gradually disappearing into the sea of white clouds.
The news of Jianlu coming out to explain why they recruited Lü Shu in advance began to spread in Monarch City. Everyone who heard this news was very shocked because Jianlu had not publicly acknowledged the potential or talent of any youth for a long time. But this time, Gu Lingfei coming out was clearly saying that Lü Shu was very strong and that they were no longer on the same level as him!
At this time, Sun Zhongyang, Mo Xiaoya, and the others were sitting in the Sun Family's side courtyard chatting. They were the few who were not too surprised when they heard the news, because they had personally experienced Lü Shu's martial arts voice.
