Untitled Part 154

Chapter 154 - It's All Fine?

Tan Yubing's guess was correct; nobody challenged Lu Mingshu after her fight. She was injured under the eyes of every participant. Whoever dared to challenge her despite that would be seen as the epitome of shameless.

The games of the world indeed had their own rules and regulations, and the Qilin Festival was no exception. No matter how many dirty secrets were hidden below, they should at least remain magnificent on the surface. Otherwise, how could the New Generation Ranking mean anything?

The skies soon darkened, and the chaperones sent someone to check on Lu Mingshu, except for An Tongchen, who came down personally.

"You should work on your defense," An Tongchen started. "It's good to be an elite in one area, but it probably won't get you to the top."

"Thanks, Senior Uncle An."

All sorts of feelings welled up in Lu Mingshu's heart. In other people's eyes, An Tongchen was someone cold and nasty, but to her and her master, it was a totally different story.

An Tongchen didn't stay for long. "Rest early. There's a high chance that someone will challenge you tomorrow."

"Yes."

An Tongchen waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to send him off, then left.

Lu Mingshu took a pouch that An Tongchen left behind. She opened it up to reveal a box of ointment and a thin disk

She took it out to have a better look. The disk was smaller than her palm, and it was dark green with a complex rune on it.

"Spiritual Tool..." she murmured.

Spiritual Tool – a tool that arose during the war between mankind and the barbarians when mankind's development was at its apex. Back then, with a Spiritual Tool, one could demonstrate extraordinary skills without using much mystic force. Spiritual Tools were a heroic contribution to mankind winning war. As time passed, the rune-carving industry started to wane, so Spiritual Tools were hardly seen anymore.

This Spiritual Tool was definitely not newly made. Looking at its condition, it must have been at least a hundred years old.

Mystic force rushed forth from her palm, and gold rays of light surrounded the disk. This inconspicuous Spiritual Tool shone brightly on her palm. Lu Mingshu flicked it lightly, and as if it was alive, the disk jumped on her palm like a paper frog and blinked continuously.

Such a treasure! If I had this with me earlier, I wouldn't have been injured.

"I owe him so much!" Lu Mingshu sighed and grabbed the disk in her hand.

If she was An Tongchen's disciple, it would be a different story, but she wasn't.

"Whatever. When there are too many debts, one stops worrying." Lu Mingshu placed the disk back into the pouch.

As she was about to go into the Heavenly Wheel, someone came to her door.

When she opened the door, the servant girl who came over that day was standing outside. "Miss Lu, someone instructed this servant to pass you something."

She passed a roll of silk to Lu Mingshu and left hurriedly after bowing.

Lu Mingshu closed the door and opened the silk.

It was filled with writings that had the same font as the one on the back of book she received a couple days ago. Each and every stroke was clearly and neatly written. One could tell that the owner of this text had great patience.
