Chapter 205: Holiday (Part 1)

In reality, hot topics would eventually die down. More than a month later, the discussion on daoyuan class had passed and there weren’t any more happenings in the lives of daoyuan students. The normal students would go to school while daoyuan students continued their training. Those with merits were rewarded and they successfully completed the mysterious senses chapter and started on the third chapter- the mysterious dao chapter. On the other hand, those without contributions were stuck at Class E.

The Class D represented by the mysterious dao chapter was clearly something those still at Class E yearned for. They wanted to earn merits but there wasn’t much they could do in this peaceful era.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Being stuck on this ladder, training was no longer useful as they could only further stabilize their powers.

This led to everyone regaining their normal school life. Attending the daoyuan class was just a something that they signed up for. As for the content of daoyuan class, it was a continuation of Buddhist and Daoist teachings.

Luo Cheng was still the same and in fact, the incident this time was just a little spark to the people’s peaceful lives. It’s not like there was really a war and the fuss about it would die down eventually.

The streets were still bustling with activities and once it was the evening peak hours, the roads would still be filled with traffic jams. The vehicles at the back would honk impatiently, drivers cussing and swearing about the wait.

The most flexible vehicle on road would be the motorbikes as those riding motorbikes would drive freely through gaps between the cars.

The back door of the west courtyard was adjacent to Kaixuan road, and at the intersection of Kaixuan road and Jidong road, there was a small train ticket outlet.

At the ticket outlet, the voice of a teenager could be heard.

“Miss, student ID is half price, so shouldn’t the military officer card have half price too?”

“There’s no such thing. No student ID means no half price,” The lady at the counter sitting behind a computer sounded very firm.

Lu Shu refused to give up, “Miss, can you confirm it again? This is obviously a discrimination against military personnel!”

The lady replied coldly, “Are you buying? If not, please move aside as there are people queuing behind you.” In fact, the sales lady had become extremely skeptical of the validity of this person’s military officer card.

Lu Shu looked back and besides the expressionless Lu Xiaoyu, there was no one else at the outlet. He sighed, “Two tickets to Qingzhou’s capital Xijing city, one would be a child ticket.”

As of now, there wasn’t any half price for military personnel buying train tickets but Lu Xiaoyu satisfied the height requirement of 1.2-1.5m for a child ticket at half price. One student ticket, one child ticket, and both at half price.

Lu Shu suddenly felt that he should bring Lu Xiaoyu out more often before her graduation as paying for the full ticket price was so not worth it!

Lu Xiaoyu, who was watching Lu Shu waving his officer card, rolled her eyes, “You weren’t like this before. Didn’t you say you were passionate about this? So why are you using such a sacred item to bargain?”

Lu Shu wasn’t pleased, “It’s two separate things. I said that I’m willing to make a contribution to defending my homeland but I never thought of this as something sacred. Fighting for the country and selfless dedication to the country are two different matters and I’m the former.”

At this moment, Lu Shu’s body suddenly froze. His originally pale face turned red in an instant. His chi was surging!

Eating two chi fruits a day for over ten days, the chi outside his mountain of chi was like a thick heavy cloud, The number of times he had to suppress it a day had increased from 24 to 30 times!

And Lu Shu had a stubborn personality. The more it surged, the more Lu Shu wanted to suppress it… Whenever this happened, Lu Shu thought that his Chi had not accumulated into raindrops and it was already so difficult. So how did the old man and the rest achieve an ocean-like chi? Could it be that people from the past had a stronger willpower?

That didn’t make sense. Lu Shu felt that his own willpower was strong too.

As of now, the thick chi was causing him trouble every once in awhile and Lu Xiaoyu asked expressionlessly, “Lu Shu, did you contract Polio?”

After spending 2mins to recover, Lu Shu replied, “You won’t understand!”

The lady at the counter was shocked. Watching Lu Shu twisting in pain, she was worried that this scum wanted to play the pity card to ask for money!

Lu Shu and Lu Xiaoyu held onto two red train tickets and left the ticket outlet. This was their first time going on a tour and first time buying train tickets.

The tourist season in Qingzhou had arrived as the holidays were starting the next day. The sophomores would start their final year early and they only have less than a month’s time of the break.

As such, Lu Shu wanted to make use of this time to bring Lu Xiaoyu out. Lu Shu looked at the time, “We will be taking the train for 22h…”

“All because you wanted to save money by not taking a plane,” Lu Xiaoyu said coldly, “I’ve never taken a plane.” Lu Shu smiled, “You’ve never taken a green train too, so why not experience this first? We can take a plane next time.”

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +99!” Although they didn’t have much savings right now, the recent sales of stinky tofu had been bringing a stable income of 6000 dollars every month. As such, their savings would slowly pile up.

With a stable income, Lu Shu was confident that they could take a plane the next time!

Lu Xiaoyu looked at Lu Shu and said in all seriousness, “Lu Shu, you’re so stingy!’

“What do you know? Good steel should be used as the knife’s edge!” Lu Shu replied gleefully and wasn’t ashamed about his stinginess.

“I am the knife’s edge!” Lu Xiaoyu exclaimed seriously.

“Yea yea you are!” Lu Shu chided, “Let’s get home and quickly pack our things. And make sure to not forget anything. Since we have already bought the train tickets, we can’t refund them now. Let’s take the plane the next time!”

“Ok,” Lu Xiaoyu replied. At this point in time, Lu Shu was feeling a little sense of accomplishment. After living independently for so long, he had always wanted to bring Lu Xiaoyu out and it finally came true.

To Lu Shu, there was nothing better than this.
