He wasn't sure which organization Zhi Wei and Li Xianyi were from but judging from Zhi Wei's tone, Li Xianyi must be someone of importance in this organization.
While the black coats were trying to maintain stability, Lu Shu was not sure if learning the art of the sword from Li Xianyi would raise any complications and so decided to wait and observe the situation first.
As compared to the state apparatus, Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu's household was too weak to survive any such problems.
He did not wish for his recklessness to result in the destruction of this hard-earned life.
Waiting would be better. Anyway, it was Li Xianyi who first approached him.
If there were no complications, he would definitely go and learn as both Lu Xiaoyu and he had no teacher to help them with their training and figuring it out themselves would be tough.
Since there was a potentialy important figure living so closeby, he definitely should not miss the opportunity.
Lu Shu had left to sell stinky tofu in the morning as Lu Xiaoyu eagerly sent him off, "Come back soon!"
Why did she want him to be back early? Of course, it was to bring her to the movies!
Lu Shu suddenly felt really refreshed as his training had started to transform and quality of life had become better. Everything was improving. Life was just like a warm ray of sunlight that just shone in and this ray of light had distinctive lines of a myriad of colors.
As he carried the boxes out of the door, Li Xianyi was still practicing his sword in the backyard of his house. For some reason, watching Li Xianyi's swordplay today gave Lu Shu a different feeling.
Every time Li Xianyi swung the normal-looking sword in his hand, it gave off a magical vibe that could attract any passers-by's gaze and Lu Shu could feel the aura in the air change and move along with the tip of his sword.
As the sword slowly moved along, it felt like the air was sliced into half.
A mere sword was able to stir up Lu Shu's feelings and from this, he could tell that Li Xianyi was definitely not simple and he could be someone really influential within the metahumans.
When the Golden Foundation was introducing the grading system, they also mentioned that there were existing practice methods and people who practiced them. What did this suggest? It suggested the existence of special powers in the past which no one knew about.
Look at Li Xianyi. It would be preposterous to say that he had just awakened. He must have been practicing long before.
But Lu Shu had to suppress his curiosity. Instead of risking his and Lu Xiaoyu's future to learn some swordplay with unknown origins, he should be practical and continue to increase his aptitude first.
At this point in time, Lu Shu felt that he was definitely able to stab someone of his caliber dead with his 'Corpsedog'.
His prowess had reached Class E, so did his physical and defensive capabilities.
And in this world, there were others who have reached Class E too, but not too many.
The grading system was like a pyramid, the higher the class, the fewer people there were. Even Class E's were rarely seen, how scarce could Class D's be? There was no way he could have been able to meet them all.
Lu Shu greeted Li Xianyi and continued on his way, at the same time being afraid that he would succumb to the temptation.
Li Xianyi had already waited for half a day and yet, he still had not thought of a good way to persuade Lu Shu who had already left!
"From Li Xianyi's distress, +56."
Lu Shu grinned. What's the deal with this old man wanting to teach me his swordplay so badly?
The auntie walked out to see a depressed Li Xianyi and sniggered, " I can tell that he's not interested. Perhaps he's afraid of us? Zhi Wei had also investigated his background. He's enrolled in the Daoyuan class with tier F aptitude."
"No way, " Li Xianyi shook his head, "My judgments are never wrong, how could he be tier F? Those people in that organization have only been training for no more than a year, what did they know about the mystery within? Lu Shu can't be tier F..."
The auntie laughed, "Then what tier do you think he is?"
"At least tier A, same applies to that young lady with him, " Li Xianyi sighed, "All the illnesses and pain had blinded me, and to think that I never noticed these two kids of tier A aptitude. You, Zhi Wei and Qi Yu... were all hand-picked by me, how could my judgment be wrong?"
The auntie noticed Li Xianyi's choice of words: "At least tier A". In other words, it could be higher than A.
Tier A... There were not many of them within the Golden Foundation.
"But he used to be so weak and fragile?" The auntie questioned.
"The same could be said for my illnesses. After the magical aura was recovered, everything changed, " Li Xianyi shook his head.
The auntie had a sudden realization. During the era where magical energy was scarce, Li Xianyi's swordplay could affect heavens and earth but at the same time, required a great deal of concentration and depleted his vitality. This bunch of people were tough and managed to find an alternative during the era without much magical energy. But this also came with a price.
Before magical aura was regained, all of his vitality was almost depleted and even with now, it was impossible to fully heal him as the foundation was already affected.
Li Xianyi's words suggested a possible explanation. Perhaps due to Lu Shu's exceptional aptitude for abilities, the previous era with scarce magical energy could have resulted in his body becoming weak...
So this was what Li Xianyi meant! One of many possibilities!
Even if this might be a misjudgment, he at least had a tier A aptitude as his foundation, so nothing could go wrong.
It did not matter if Li Xianyi or the auntie had realized, but Lu Shu was weak, really weak! The only reason his aptitude had increased so much was due to his Mischief System...
Upon selling all of the stinky tofu, Lu Shu returned and Li Xianyi and the auntie were no longer in the yard. Lu Shu did not think too much about it and had no idea that they were just discussing his aptitude. Today's sale of stinky tofu had earned him a sum of 8000+ distress points and 40 servings of stinky tofu brought in200 dollars. Having this money in hand was a really good feeling.
Should I buy new clothes for Lu Xiaoyu today? When was the last time, was it half a year ago?
Although Lu Xiaoyu was being considerate and never requested anything expensive, being a big brother meant that he should consider all that.
The morning mist had cleared as Lu Shu kept the boxes back and brought Lu Xiaoyu out. She wore the new clothes Lu Shu had previously bought which she normally did not bear to.
Before he left, Lu Shu also checked the greenhouse he had created. The tomatoes never seemed to ever ripen, how frustrating!
Lightly closing the wooden fence door, Lu Shu walked in front while Lu Xiaoyu, skipping happily, followed behind.
Lu Xiaoyu pondered a moment before quietly placing her small hand on Lu Shu's hand. Lu Shu looked down at Lu Xiaoyu, only to see the young lady speechless.
Lu Shu smiled and gripped her small hands a bit tighter.
Lu Xiaoyu smiled.
