Chapter 1286: Son of the Lord of Heaven

The wealthy families had originally planned to hold a meeting in seven days, but now, they realized that the Wei Wu Army were traveling very quickly. They traveled over 500 kilometers per day. Everything was too sudden and they could no longer wait.

Of course, if they knew that the Imperial Palace Soldiers had left the Wei Wu Army, they would panic even more.

In reality, they wanted to use this meeting as a cover to do something else. Lu Shu was using the Imperial Dragon Soldiers to attract the attention of everyone, right?

The Imperial Dragon Soldiers was like a lamp. Their travel route had been exposed to the wealthy families in the palace and other powers. But who would have thought that Lu Shu had reached the palace, and that the Imperial Palace Soldiers had left the group?

This was the reason why Lu Shu had to leave Lu Xiaoyu with the army. Lu Xiaoyu now controlled five masters. Not everyone could attack them, even if they wanted to.

Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu had discussed it after Duanmu huangqi’s death and Lu Xiaoyu captured his spirit. After all, Duanmu Huangqi was the strongest person in the West Region. He even had the divine power of Black White Reversal.

But in the end, Lu Shu changed his plan and let Lu Xiaoyu capture the spirits of the other two masters. After three days, these two spirits materialized from the black hole.

Although they were weaker than Duanmu Huangqi, but in addition to Lu Xiaoyu, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers would have six masters. There was no one who could easily injure the Imperial Dragon Soldiers. After all, the Imperial Dragon Soldiers were not weak either.

The Imperial Dragon Soldiers was not a typical army in the realm of cultivation. This was what the wealthy families from the palace were most afraid of.

The King’s Studies scholars were very relaxed. To them, no matter how large the disturbance was, it would not affect them. They did not need to fight for authority. They had never provoked any officials either.

They were the people who were least worried about the Wei Wu Army. After all, there was no conflict of interest.

To the King’s Scholars, no matter who eventually became the ruler, all of them had to respect the old King of Gods. This was politically correct.

The King’s Studies scholars enjoyed preferential treatment wherever they went. Some scholars even started to develop in a troublesome manner. Those who did not respect the scholars would be deemed as disrespectful towards the old King of Gods.

Of course, they were not particularly demanding. After all, they were also afraid of dying…

While the wealthy families from the palace were discussing their problems, the King’s Studies scholars prepared for their own discussion. They even loudly publicized their discussion. For example, they said that a famous teacher would come, or a teacher had an important argument to present.

Not only were there wealthy families in the palace, there were also sons of typical rich families. People everywhere posed as lovers of cultures. The King’s Studies discussion would become a grand ceremony.

The civilians were slow in thought when it came to politics. No matter how their rulers clashed, or how unpredictable they were, they only found out later, or felt detached from the situation. The conflicts among the upper classes did not have much to do with them.

This often happened in history. There were places where violent fight were happening, while in other prosperous cities that had never experienced war, sons of rich families were singing and visiting prostitutes. It was very normal.

Thus, when the news that the West Capital had been destroyed, the wealthy families from the palace panicked, but the lower and middle classes thought about whether it was time to go rowing in the Long Yin River.

No. More accurately, some people had started to go rowing in the Long Yin River.

The King’s Studies poetry session was held at the Peach Blossom Association. It was said that the association had obtained its name from one of the poems written by the old King of Gods. “I don’t know where beauty has gone, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.”

The owner of the Peach Blossom Association was a wealthy and high-ranking person from the palace. He did not use this status to earn money. Instead, he preferred to discuss the King’s Studies with scholars.

In the end, a small association that did not even intend to earn money saw more and more lovers of culture gather. Everyday, they lavished praises on the old King of Gods. Then, they discussed their points of view and new poems.

Slowly, 100 years passed. This place became the biggest association in the palace. It became the most “elegant” place to the civilians in the palace as well.

The owner of the association did not expect this to happen. He had just done this for fun, but it became the most lucrative business in their family.

Of course, the success of the Peach Garden Association could not be replicated. The old King of Gods had traveled incognito to this place and written “obedient” on the wall.

When this was revealed, the King’s Studies scholars went crazy and visited this sacred site. To Lu Shu, the people who were best at currying favor with the old King of Gods were none other than the King’s Studies scholars.

Till today, many scholars gathered outside the Peach Garden Association. Lu Shu stood by the side and happily looked at them. The scholars greeted one another when they saw other scholars. The first thing they said was a poem that included the words “peach blossom”. The other person would have to reply with another poem that included the words “peach blossom”.

A poetry session became like a gathering of spies. Those who disagreed with the poems did not dare to bring it up. Furthermore, they had to say something related to peach blossoms!

Lu Shu blended in. Although he had forgotten most of the poems he had learned after two years of training, he felt that it was enough for him to remember “but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze”.

Many people greeted Lu Shu. Everyone would greet the person they met, whether or not they recognized them.

Someone said, “A cluster of peach blossoms with no owner bloom in splendor.”

Lu Shu replied, “But the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.”

Someone said, “The mountains are filled with red peach blossoms.”

Lu Shu replied, “But the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze.”

No matter what the other person said, Lu Shu managed to blend in with this one poem. Lu Shu had even thought about it. After greeting two people, he was still safe. This time, his character did not collapse as quickly. He had improved!

Suddenly, a young man walked past Lu Shu. He looked at Lu Shu and smiled. “But the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze!”

Lu Shu sighed. “… you are off track.”

The young man was speechless.

Before the young man could react, Lu Shu had put him in the celestial map. When passers-by saw this, they thought that there was something wrong with their eyes. Furthermore, it was too crowded here and no one took any further notice.

At that moment, Sun Zhongyang was doing homework in the celestial map. A young man suddenly appeared in front of him. Sun Zhongyang was excited. “Can I ask you something? Brother, are you from the Luniverse?”

The young man was still dumbfounded. “Yes, I am.”

“What happened to the West Capital? Who is the Lord of Heaven there?” Sun Zhongyang asked.

“The West Lord of Heaven is now Sun Xunwen. Where am I?” The young man had a classic expression on his face. Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing…

But when he realized that Sun Zhongyang was in front of him, he started laughing wildly. Furthermore, he suddenly felt that Sun Zhongyang looked very familiar. “Wait. Aren’t you Sun Zhongyang from the Sun family? You are the son of the Lord of Heaven!”
