After the experts were brought over as workers, Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan relaxed completely and did not have much to do.
Lu Shu asked them if they wanted to go to the Luniverse and they were extremely willing to go. In fact, they had already begun to pack their luggage.
However, the awkward thing was that Lu Shu ultimately did not ask them. Moreover, both of them felt that Lu Shu was not very willing to bring them along.
This was not because he was afraid that they would be a burden. After all, both of them were Rank One experts and it was not a matter of their capabilities. In fact, it was because Lu Shu was afraid that they would encounter danger. Lu Shu felt that Chen Zuan and Cheng Qiuqiao did not need to accompany him to face danger.
Although the Wei Wu Army was very powerful, Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Shu never figured out what was the realm higher than the Master Realm. Therefore, they could not predict how terrifying their enemies were.
Lu Shu had been preparing for the past 18 years of his life. Now, it was the only time he had to start a battle with the unknown. Lu Shu felt that he would not lose but he did not want to use another’s life to take a gamble.
After he returned, Lu Shu did not have a proper chance to chat with Lu Xiaoyu. It felt as though Lu Shu was busy with the preparation of heading to the Luniverse. Ultimately, both of them did not get things clear. Lu Shu was too shy to ask Lu Xiaoyu directly and Lu Xiaoyu did not think of a proper answer.
Therefore, Lu Shu prepared for his trip while Lu Xiaoyu was busy calculating the bills for the Wei Wu Army, regarding how much allowance they should get after they entered the Luniverse. She had to find Uncle Li and the rest of the vendors who sold breakfast for them to transport the refresher fruits and meat over.
Both Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu were very busy. Half of their time was spent out of the Longmen Fortress and they did not have much interaction.
It was not because there was a barrier between them. Rather, it was because both of them wanted to solve the problem with the best method but ended up not speaking up as they were perfectionists.
It was as though a craftsman saw a piece of jade and felt that it was too good to be true. However, the craftsman had not thought about how to carve it such that it became the unique treasure on Earth and decided to leave it alone.
However, the problem came. They had to deal with things sooner or later.
Lu Shu climbed up to the roof of the house and sat there, thinking about things of the “future”. He had communicated with Zhong Yutang that night and made some requests for the things he needed for his trip to the Luniverse. They were extremely important.
However, after hearing what Lu Shu needed, Zhong Yutang was confused as he had no idea why Lu Shu wanted them.
Lu Shu sat on the roof. In the past, he sat there with Lu Xiaoyu. In those days, they could not pay for television channel subscriptions and could only access very few television channels. Therefore, the highlight of their day would be sitting on the roof and chatting while looking at the outside world.
When they first moved in, the couple living on the third floor opposite them always quarrelled. After a while, they stopped quarreling and they heard from the elderly lady that they had divorced.
Life was uncertain. Nobody could predict what would happen.
Lu Shu suddenly heard someone leap up onto the roof. He knew that it was Lu Xiaoyu without even turning his head around.
However, before he could speak, Lu Xiaoyu complained, “Why didn’t you cook dinner?”
“What are you busy with today?” Lu Shu smiled. Lu Xiaoyu sat down beside him.
“I found Uncle Li. The premium meat of the creatures had been sent over and it should last him for one month. The entire family’s body condition has been improved to the maximum,” said Lu Xiaoyu, “However, I got bad news. Aunt Wang passed away on her journey from Luo City due to a stroke. It was too late for resuscitation.”
When Lu Xiaoyu said that, she sounded rather depressed too. In the past when Lu Xiaoyu bought eggs for Lu Shu, people joked that Aunt Wang protected Lu Xiaoyu like a mother hen.
However, she had passed away.
Lu Xiaoyu looked at the lights outside. “Lu Shu, if you have any questions, ask them. The world is unpredictable, there shouldn’t be a barrier between us.”
“I want to know if you have the memory of the past life?” asked Lu Shu.
This question did not seem meaningful but it meant a lot for Lu Shu.
That was because a person was made up of pieces of memories. The memories of a person determined who the person was. Therefore, Lu Shu reminded Xiaoyu in the past to throw away the fragments of memories of the spirits after using them. It did not matter if some important details were missing.
If Lu Xiaoyu had the memory of the past life, was she the person in her past life, or Lu Xiaoyu herself?
In other words, the person in her past life did not have feelings for Lu Shu as Lu Shu did not exist back then.
Lu Shu rejected all memories as though he rejected an entire era and refused to look back.
However, he was slightly worried. He did not look back but what about Lu Xiaoyu?
“I didn’t.” Lu Xiaoyu smiled. She looked afar and shook her legs that were hanging from the roof. “So, you are worried about this. Rest assured, I removed the memories on time. I know why I have such an evil aura and killer intent.”
Lu Shu raised his eyebrows. “Why?”
“In this life, I will take on the evil doings that you refuse to admit.” Lu Xiaoyu said casually, “Perhaps you were too depressed in your past life. Therefore, I made a vow to kill those people whom you are unwilling to kill.”
Lu Shu was speechless due to astonishment. Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lu Shu. “Although I am not related to her, this fervent wish still affected me.”
Many people thought that Lu Xiaoyu was extremely cold-blooded and aggressive in the past. Her classmates and her comrades all thought so. Even Lu Shu felt that this characteristic was bad. Of course, Lu Xiaoyu had changed a lot.
However, nobody expected that Lu Xiaoyu’s violence was because of a wish she made in her past life.
The woman who said that she did not want anything in the world gave up on her sword. She cut everything off to accompany Lu Shu for another journey and killed people for him.
“After saying so much, are you still not going to make dinner?” Lu Xiaoyu said expressionlessly.
“Oh oh.” Lu Shu laughed. “What do you want to eat?”
“Fried tomato egg. One tomato and three eggs. I want sliced garlic and not scallions,” said Lu Xiaoyu proudly.
Everything seemed to have returned to what it was from the start.
