Chapter 21 - I Don't Want It, Don't Come Near Me!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When the escaping child saw Lu Yu, his eyes lit up and he shouted, “Big Brother, save me! These guys said that our Wild Wolf Sect was destroyed. We must teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful our Wild Wolf Sect is.”

When the few people behind heard the child’s words, their speed slowed down, and they were a little uncertain. They were wondering if the news of the Wild Wolf Sect being destroyed was fake.

Then, they carefully observed Lu Yu and realized that Lu Yu was only a teenager. Even if he was really from the Wild Wolf Sect, he was not that powerful.

The few of them looked at each other and then moved closer to Lu Yu and the child. They held knives that were stained with unknown stains and shouted, “So what if he’s from the Wild Wolf Sect? Kill him as well!”

When Lu Yu saw that they were chasing after the child and were coming towards him, he intended to avoid them. He did not expect that the child would actually say that he was a member of the Wild Wolf Sect and drag him down into this mess.

The child’s body was emitting a foul smell, his skin and clothes were dyed black. When the child running towards Lu Yu, he wanted to slap the child away.

Unfortunately, the few people chasing after the child seemed to see him as the child’s accomplice. They were after him as well.

Lu Yu looked around and picked up a stick that was leaning against the wall. He did not want to touch their knife and clothes that were covered with unknown objects.

The stick hit the child’s stomach and sent him flying. The child lay on the ground motionlessly.

Lu Yu hated trouble, especially this kind of meaningless trouble.

When they saw Lu Yu send the child flying, they felt that something was wrong. However, they did not think too much and rushed over with knives.

In their eyes, Lu Yu, who only held a wooden stick, was definitely not their opponent.

The strength of these people was average. They were probably martial art 

cultivators at the second level of the body refining realm. If not for the unknown black stains on their swords and bodies, Lu Yu would have already beaten them to the ground with his hands.

Lu Yu hit the wrists of the three people holding the swords with the stick. The extremely intimidating swords in their hands fell. The people realized that Lu Yu was not easy to deal with.

They did not even dare to say anything harsh, so they abandoned the knives and turned around to escape.

Lu Yu was too lazy to chase after them. He threw away the wooden stick and walked towards the direction of Ji Min Hall.

He had only taken a few steps when he realized that child, Little Tail behind him. He deliberately walked into an alley.

When Little Tail saw that Lu Yu had turned into an alley and disappeared into the crowd, he hurriedly chased after Lu Yu. When he ran into the alley but did not find Lu Yu, he was a little disappointed.

“Why are you following me?” Lu Yu appeared at the entrance of the alley and blocked Little Tail’s path.

“I know you.” Little Tail said.

Lu Yu rolled his eyes. “It’s none of my business that you know me. I don’t know you. Don’t follow me. Otherwise, I won’t just hit you with a stick only!”

After saying that, Lu Yu turned around and left. He did not want to know anything about Little Tail at all. He only wanted to cultivate quietly. When he had enough strength, he would expose Yang Xiu and receive the grand prize.

Seeing that Lu Yu turned around and left without any hesitation, Little Tail panicked and hurriedly chased after him. “I know you. You used to be a beggar like me in the Black Water Gutter. Half a month ago, you were taken away by the Han Residence.”

“You’re from the Han Residence. You must really want to know about the mysterious person behind the Wild Wolf Sect, Fierce Tiger Sect, and Bloody Blade Sect. I once accidentally bumped into the mysterious person looking for the chiefs of the three sects. I know who the mysterious person is!”

Lu Yu suddenly turned his head. Seeing that Little Tail was about to bump into him, he quickly stepped to the right. Little Tail stopped abruptly and fell to the ground.

“I don’t want to know who the mysterious person is. Don’t tell me.”

Seeing the child get up, Lu Yu added, “Don’t come near me.”

Little Tail was very puzzled. The people of the Han Residence were obviously looking for the mysterious person everywhere. Why did Lu Yu refuse to know the clues of the mysterious person?

“Don’t you know that the Han Residence will give you a big reward for finding the mysterious person?”

“I know, but I don’t want it.” Lu Yu ignored Little Tail and walked out of the alley.

“The mysterious person is from the Han Residence. I don’t know his name, but I can recognize him.”

Lu Yu stopped in his tracks. He looked a little helpless. What was the point? Why was he forcing himself?

Lu Yu did not think that this kid would be able to recognize Yang Xiu. He was hesitating. Should he kill the kid? This kid’s existence was a huge threat. Whether it was Yang Xiu found out that Lu Yu knew he was the mastermind from this kid, or Butler Zhang found out that Lu Yu was unwilling to tell him the truth, both situations were not good to Lu Yu.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Yu still could not bring himself to do it. Although he was annoyed by the fact that Little Tail had caused trouble to him, he could not do such thing to a child.

After a long time, Lu Yu said helplessly, “Come with me! But I’m warning you, before I give you permission, don’t tell anyone about the mysterious person. No matter who it is.”

“Once I know that you have told others, you should know the consequences. I don’t need to tell you.”

“Okay.” Little Tail smiled happily and promised, “I will definitely not tell anyone else. I have only told you about this. I have never told anyone else.”

“That’s good. Remember what I said.” said Lu Yu.

“I will remember it!” Little Tail nodded seriously.

After returning to the courtyard that the Ji Min Hall had arranged for him, Lu Yu called over a subordinate. He pointed at Little Tail and said, “Bring him to wash up and give him a new set of clothes. From now on, he will be staying here. Without my permission, he cannot walk out of this door.”

“Yes.” A subordinate brought Little Tail to take a shower and change his clothes.

However, when the subordinate came back, Lu Yu felt that there was something wrong with the way the subordinate looked at him. Just when he was wondering why, he saw a girl walking out from behind his subordinate.

“A girl?” Lu Yu sat in the room and stood in front of Little Tail who had washed up and changed into a new set of clothes. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I thought you knew.” After Little Tail was washed up, even her personality seemed to have changed. She didn’t look like a wild boy anymore. She stood where she was and rolled up the corner of her clothes as she said softly.

Lu Yu picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip of water when he heard what she said. His hand paused for a moment.

He suddenly poured all the water in the teacup into his mouth. “Alright! What’s done is done. I can’t kick her out now!” Lu Yu thought.

“You will sleep in that room from now on.” Lu Yu pointed to a bedroom casually. “And you are not allowed to leave this courtyard without my permission.”

“Got it.” Little Tail nodded softly.

Gu…

The sound came from Little Tail’s stomach. Lu Yu looked at her twice and went out to ask someone to arrange for dinner for her.

He had eaten the marching ball previously and did not need to eat dinner. That was why he forgot to eat.

During dinner, Little Tail returned to her wild appearance, afraid that others would snatch her food.

Lu Yu ate some food and then began to cultivate. He took out the Hundred Forged Greatsword, ate a qi-blood pill, and began to practice the Edgeless Blade Technique in AFK mode.

The qi-blood pill was different from the body tempering pill. The qi-blood pill had the effect of replenishing qi-blood. It could be taken multiple times a day to speed up cultivation, and it could also recover qi-blood during battle.

However, very few people would directly consume the qi-blood pill during battle to recover their depleted qi-blood. This was because the recovering speed was too slow. Before the qi-blood pill could have any effect, the battle had already ended.

Therefore, the qi-blood pills were mostly used to replenish the qi-blood that was consumed during cultivation.

Previously, when Lu Yu did not consume the qi-blood pills, he could only increase his qi-blood by 1 point when cultivated the Fierce Tiger Fist in AFK mode. After consuming the qi-blood pills, he could increase his qi-blood by 2 points for the same amount of time.

After the system took over his body, Lu Yu began to cultivate the Edgeless Blade Technique. He could feel that his qi-blood were being rapidly consumed. The qi-blood pills were replenishing the qi-blood that was used during cultivation.

The qi-blood consumption rate of cultivating the Edgeless Blade Technique was much faster than cultivating the Fierce Tiger Fist Style. Very soon, Lu Yu could feel that the qi-blood pills in his stomach were no longer gushing out qi-blood.

After a while, Lu Yu automatically withdrew from his cultivation state.

As soon as his consciousness took over his body, he felt that his entire body was sore and weak. In particular, the arms and waist that he used to wield the Hundred Forged Greatsword felt as if they were no longer his. He could not feel anything at all.

He used his consciousness to put the Hundred Forged Greatsword on the ground into his backpack and walked towards the second floor with heavy steps.

“Do you need me to help you?” Little Tail saw his appearance and ran over to ask. She still remembered that Lu Yu had said before not to get close to him.

“No need. You can go to sleep by yourself.” Lu Yu did not even look at her. He went upstairs and used his shoulder to push open the door of the room. He closed the door and directly laid on the bed to sleep.

After Little Tail was rejected, she didn’t say anything and went back to her room to sleep.

The next day, when Lu Yu logged into the game, he found that his body was still a little sore.

“Looks like I can only practice the Edgeless Blade Technique once every two days.” Lu Yu sighed. However, after seeing his qi-blood, his mood immediately improved.

Edgeless Blade Technique was worthy of being a third-grade spirit class technique. In just a short period of time when he practiced last night, he had actually increased his qi-blood by three points, which was even more than practicing the Fierce Tiger Fist Style every day.

And this was only the first level of the Edgeless Blade Technique. When it was upgraded to the second level, the cultivation speed would be even faster.

Right now, Lu Yu was very eager to obtain experience points. He was just a little bit away from upgrading the Edgeless Blade Technique. Where was he going to obtain more experience points?

After eating breakfast, Lu Yu left the Ji Min Hall early in the morning. Before he left, he had instructed Little Tail to stay in the courtyard and not go anywhere. He had also instructed the guards to keep a close watch on Little Tail.

However, when he left, he felt that the people in the medicine shop were looking at him strangely.

“Hu” Lu Yu shook his head and shook the gazes of the people in the medicine shop out of his mind. “Forget it. I need to think of a way to gather 1,000 experience points to upgrade the Edgeless Sword Art.”

Lu Yu walked out of Windmill Town..
