Spare Me, Great Lord!

Doing his best to avoid unnecessary attention, Li Xianyi descended from the sky in silence. In order to protect Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Shu, his family, he certainly did not want the news of them entering the remain made known.

Actually, the Golden Foundation was not on good terms with a number of organizations. The very fact that he himself was the host of the event this time was already mired in disputes. In spite of his power, the randomization mechanism in the remain made it hard to ensure Lu Xiaoyu’s safety.

Even if something happened, it would be almost impossible to track down the killer, for he could not just wipe out all the experts in the remain simply in the name of revenge.

The remain was an especially dangerous place, unlike the outside world. The key issue was the lack of effective communication tools.

All devices, including radios and walkie-talkies, would malfunction inside, as though the space there followed a completely different set of rules.

Li Xianyi used the darkness as his cover and gently landed in the yard. Lu Xiaoyu was already waiting, “Lu Shu, when can you learn to fly? I want to fly around with you.”

It was a Class A-only ability, Lu Shu thought to himself. When Li Xianyi was not around, he could brag by saying it was gonna be soon, but now…

Li Xianyi’s smile was amicable, “He will be able to do that when he reaches Class A. By then, your sea of chi will be resonating with Nature, naturally carrying you afloat in the air.”

Lu Shu replied awkwardly, “What if I cannot unlock my sea of chi? I’m afraid strength-type Metahumans are not flyers. We are jumpers…”

“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +188…”

Truth be told, Li Xianyi was unsure about that as well. By right, indeed they could never fly, as their only power was simply their physical strength. Besides, Lu Shu’s grudge was apparent…

“Well,” Li Xianyi felt a tad unease, “Maybe you can fly. But as for how… do you have any ideas?”

Excuse me? You were asking me…?

Lu Shu sneered, “Of course I do. I can watch other people fly…”

“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +666…”

In fact, he had a question for the old man as well. Lu Shu threw his confusion at him once Li Xianyi was inside the house, “Grandpa, my snow mountain is about to collapse. What should I do next? Can I unlock my sea of chi after it falls? Or do I have to redo my practice again?”

With his brows knitted together, Li Xianyi pondered for a long moment, “Good question.”

Lu Shu, “???”

“Wait a moment. So you forgot to help me figure out a way?!” Lu Shu was unhappy.

Li Xianyi froze for an instant and immediately waved his hands, “It’s a rare reunion today. Not a time to speak about cultivation…”

“From Li Xianyi’s distress, +262!”

Lu Shu’s face darkened at once, you have no ideas at all, right?! You are getting upset the moment you think of this matter, can you please be more helpful?

Honestly speaking, Li Xianyi did care about Lu Shu for a while after they parted last time, for the young man could almost be considered his apprentice. If there was something wrong with his teaching, Li Xianyi could not simply evade his responsibilities. However, he did not manage to reach a conclusion after the arduous research, because there was no record of such cases in their classical books!

A total of three days of flipping through all comments did not lead to any concrete solutions, but one thing was clear. Li Xianyi was probably the worst teacher ever since the inception of the faction.

Moreover, he had misguided a super genius!

To him, Lu Shu’s supreme talent was unquestionable. After all, no one else except for the grandmaster had achieved a snow mountain before the opening of his sea of chi. No, even the grandmaster was not as good as Lu Shu…

However, this very genius was now unable to unlock his sea of chi under the suppression of his snow mountain, all thanks to Li Xianyi himself…

Li Xianyi quickly diverted Lu Shu’s attention, “Xiaoyu, why are you here?”

“To follow Li Yixiao into the remain, of course. He dragged Lu Shu along,” Lu Xiaoyu explained.

Li Xianyi was certainly aware of the danger of overseas remains. Now, Li Yixiao’s image in his heart had transformed into a jerk who tricked his granddaughter into peril…

Lu Shu commented, “You don’t have to enter the remain. I can go in myself and you wait for me outside.”

Although he trusted that Lu Xiaoyu was capable enough to face dangerous situations by herself, he was still worried about her safety. There was no need at all for such a young girl to risk her life in coming to Pattaya. Amidst a crowd of experts, a little girl surely seemed like an easy target, which would result in loads of trouble despite her remarkable abilities.

“No way! I’m going in!” Lu Xiaoyu protested. With two Class B spirits at her command, she was fearless. Why would they refuse her entry? Furthermore, the top priority would be the relic, not changing the remain into a combat competition.

Li Xianyi frowned, “This remain is unlike the one in our country. Don’t gof in, Xiaoyu. How about keeping me company outside?”

“No. I follow Lu Shu wherever he goes,” Lu Xiaoyu was determined.

Sadly, in Lu Xiaoyu’s heart, Li Xianyi’s level of significance could never overtake Lu Shu’s. But Li Xianyi did not aim to compare either, as he was well aware of how difficult it was for the two kids to survive until today.

Li Xianyi thought for a while, “Lu Shu, don’t miss this opportunity of obtaining the relic. After the remain disappears, there’s bound to be a grand fight in the city. The possession of the relic is equivalent to the eternal possession of the remain itself. Currently, the remain is deemed as the best shot at resources and survival means by all organizations.”

In other words, the owner of the relic was not finalized until their return to the original world. The outbreak of another series of tangled fights would almost be certain when others tried to make the relic theirs.

The old man lowered his voice, “Don’t worry too much, though. I can keep you safe as long as you get out in one piece.”

Actually, Lu Shu did not place high expectations on acquiring the relic. With dozens of Class B experts ready to shed their blood for it, it would be quite unrealistic to sneak the relic away under their eyes. Nonetheless, Li Xianyi’s presence would eliminate all inconveniences once they got out of the remain. At the current moment, Li Xianyi was his and Lu Xiaoyu’s biggest talisman.

There was no reason to willfully reject such a talisman. The most memorable lesson that life had taught him was to be practical.

But, as for Li Yixiao…

He had become completely unbridled the moment he passed the national boundary. Who knows what he would do in the remain? If he really screwed things up in there, Lu Shu would be more than happy to treat him as a stranger ever after, as long as they were safe…
