Chapter 215: Identity verification (Part 2)

The car wasnt traveling quickly and it was already 12 am. As they hopped around on top of roofs, Lu Xiaoyu found it quite fun, as if they were flying about in the sky.

It was the first time Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu came to Xijing City in Qingzhou so they werent sure where they were following that car to.

But they were still within the city and they werent headed towards the countryside.

Could it be hidden right within the city? The heavenly network, in reality, cannot be underestimated.

But Lu Shu was thinking if the heavenly network began to close an eye towards the black market here, would more black markets appear elsewhere?

In handling the black market, it was wiser to allow it in moderation rather than let it happen without any information on it.

Lu Shu stood at the top of the building as he watched the car stop behind an alley. The five of them then got off the car and walked into the alley.

I have to buy a mouth mask and a cap. You wait here for me with Little Fury. Lu Shu finished and just as he was about to go down, he noticed a black sedan at the alley. From so far away, he could already sense the energy waves from inside the car.

From his intuition, the person in the car was probably, at the very least, a class D.

This car stopped here without moving for a long while. Its engine was killed, lights were extinguished and didnt make a single sound.

If he didnt feel the energy waves from inside, Lu Shu would probably have thought that there was no one inside. But there were no ifs.

It wasnt strange for someone to keep watch at someplace like the black market. This car seemingly reinforced Lu Shus previous worries: This black market wasnt as safe as he thought.

As a black market, it naturally deviated away from normal rules in normal markets. Without rules, there would definitely be chaos or confusion.

But did the guy in the car belong to the heavenly network?

Lu Shu really wanted the answer to this question. After all, if that person really belonged to the heavenly network, it would be testament to the fact that the black market was under supervision, and the rumored future black markets could all be a possibility.

And he had to be even more cautious. After all, the materials provided to him were from the heavenly network, be it the magical stones or items he attained from the remains.

Oh, speaking of which, since he could manipulate magical energy, could he sell fruits or stuff containing magical energy instead of stinky tofu once Luo Chengs black market opened?

This was a new method to get rich! Lu Shus eyes immediately lit up upon thinking of this!

If black markets could appear anywhere within the country, the most important ones would be those in the cities of the seven special military schools. Practitioners were gathered there, so how could there be black markets elsewhere instead of these areas?

The students of these schools would make up the bulk of the purchases in these markets.

So as long as the heavenly network didnt have the notion of closing down and preventing any sort of black market, there would definitely be one in Luo Cheng in the future!

Since he had magical energy at home, surely its legal to sell fruits with magical energy?!

Lu Shu then remembered. How could he check if the other party belonged to the heavenly network?

One of the specialties of the heavenly network was that it was regimental and discipline was highly enforced. Principles were of priority as well and members would most definitely not lay their hands on civilians. As compared to the majority of practitioners, members of the heavenly network were military personnel and their moral standards were much higher.

Very few peoples moral standards improved with the recent emergence of magical prowesses and abilities, and even if they did, they wore off easily.

So, although the heavenly network handled things strictly and secretly, especially their treatment of practitioners, they were still warm and nice people in general.

Lu Shu thought for a moment before telling Lu Xiaoyu, You wait upstairs. Dont go anywhere.

He jumped down from the back where there was no one watching. He jumped down 7 floors just like that without a whim or worry.

Lu Shu strolled slowly and edged close to that alley. The sunlight in Xijing City was all gone, and this place was rather secluded with dim yellow streetlights. Lu Shu seemed just like an ordinary teenager walking along the road.

The cars windows were tinted and nothing could be made out from the outside. Lu Shu had no idea if the person inside him was observing him, and all he could do was to behave more naturally.

Dong dong dong, Lu Shu knocked against the cars window.

He heard clearly someone inside sitting up abruptly, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. The window was lowered and a young man inside looked at Lu Shu calmly, Hello, is there a problem?

The way he spoke was rather polite and distant, and it was apparent that he didnt want to interact much with Lu Shu. The mysterious but alert look in his eyes made Lu Shu understand that the other party was prepared to handle any sort of sudden emergency.

Lu Shu lifted his head and pointed to his wrist, Sorry, but what time is it?

The young man was confused for a moment, Dont you have a phone?

I forgot to bring my phone, Lu Shu explained.

From Zhu Bishis distress, +110.

The man relaxed slightly but he continued to be wary. He took one glance at his watch and replied, Its 12.35am.

Thank you. Lu Shu walked away after he was done. He had no intentions of dragging the conversation further.

As he turned a corner, he jumped up the block to regroup with Lu Xiaoyu. He stood beside Lu Xiaoyu and analyzed, It seems like hes from the heavenly network, but we cant eliminate the possibility that hes a forgotten practitioner. After all, its easy to go unnoticed as a practitioner or metahuman in such a huge country.

Previously, the heavenly network brought those who exhibited their abilities or abnormalities away, but they probably left some of them out without knowing.

The heavenly network, no matter how informed, did not have the ability to confirm whos a metahuman without even looking or encountering. Lu Shu feared that with the continuation of this magical era, more metahumans or practitioners who were forgotten would surface and form their own gangs and clans. But the chances of these gangs surviving would be quite low, given the attitude and management of the heavenly network.

Lu Shu thought before continuing, The guy was calm and collected. Xiaoyu, you go down too. Check once more, everything should be fine. If theres anything out of the blue, youll jump up and regroup with me at once.

The path of training was tough and dangerous. There was no logic in nurturing Lu Xiaoyu into one of those greenhouse flowers like other daoyuan students. That was not what Lu Shu wanted Lu Xiaoyu to become.

He could still protect her when hes alive. What if hes not by her side?

The energy waves from the other party gave away the fact that he had just reached the beginning of class D. Lu Xiaoyu definitely had what it takes to deal with him.

Lu Xiaoyu passed Little Fury to Lu Shu and jumped down from the back as well. Before she even reached the car, she saw a piece of paper stuck onto the cars window, and on it was: I dont know what time it is now. No watch, no phone. Nothing at all.

The words were clearly there with the intention of fending people off from disturbing

Lu Xiaoyu pondered for quite some time. Who knew shed encounter such a situation?! But she wasnt someone who didnt have brains. Neither was she just a flower in a greenhouse.

Lu Xiaoyu took in a deep breath and knocked on the window. Zhu Bishi lowered his window and looked at Lu Xiaoyu blankly. He was rather surprised when he saw an adorable and pretty little lady outside his car, Young lady, is there a problem?

Hi uncle, Lu Xiaoyu took the slip of paper off the window, Nothings wrong, I just wanted to tell you its 12.44am now.

From Zhu Bishis distress, +666!
