Chapter 176: Dumbstruck! (Part 4)
The other parents were stunned by Lu Shu’s youth, but his physique was already similar to that of an adult . Also, there were only parents here and no other students, so no one thought much about it . The glasses were also actually quite convincing .
Some parents were curious, "Did your child mention this Lu Shu? How powerful is he exactly?"
Actually, they didn’t necessarily care about this ‘Lu Shu’, but it’s just that at this juncture of either quitting or staying with daoyuan, they wanted to know how powerful their child could become . It was just like buying something; if something was really expensive and the buyer is tempted to buy it, he would ask someone else if it was worth it .
Lu Shu mentioned reservedly, "This Lu Shu is really powerful . My Xiaoyu said that Lu Shu sliced those skeletons like vegetables in the remain . How many pounds did a normal punch carry? A few hundred? Do you guys know how many pounds his punch weighs? A few thousand!"
The parents looked at Lu Shu in shock, "So powerful?!"
One of the things Lu Shu loved the most was knowing that people were praising him behind his back…
A parent pondered for a moment before saying, "But I heard from my child that this Lu Shu doesn’t seem to be much of a team player . He isn’t good with people and my child was annoyed just speaking of him…"
Lu Shu was rather displeased, "Your child is?"
"Oh, my child is called Ye Lingling…"
Lu Shu understood and this all made sense… he then continued, "My child feels that Lu Shu is rather decent and quite special . He is very analytical when faced with problems . He makes sense when he speaks most of the time as well . Everything that comes out of his mouth seems logical and well thought through . But all of us know that it’s normal for children to not listen to reason at this age . I feel that it’ll be good if our children can spend more time with him . Spending more time with such a knowledgeable and wise child would help our children right?"

The parents nodded, "So this is the case . We have to make sure our children know this when we get back . Instead of disliking everything he says, they should spend more time with him so that they can learn from each other!"
Suddenly everyone felt that this parent of Lu Xiaoyu was very decent and could look at things very clearly!
They had gotten a huge conversational topic out of that student ‘Lu Shu’ – Since everyone in daoyuan class would turn powerful, would everyone stay or leave daoyuan class .
Actually, they didn’t really want to leave daoyuan class . They actually wanted suggestions from the heavenly network, such as promising not to risk the lives of their children in future . As long as they could guarantee the safety of their children, they would allow their children to continue staying in daoyuan class!
Lu Shu thought that these people noticed the situation on Mt Beimang and thought that the heavenly network could be reasoned with . After all, they looked sincerely apologetic and they felt that they could ask for some requests . After all, their children suffered some scares in the remain .
But the heavenly network wasn’t exactly the place for people to make demands . . .
At this moment, Xi Fei walked in with a file . Other people didn’t recognize Lu Shu but he definitely did . Throughout his entire time in the remain, he had the deepest impression of Lu Shu . Xi Fei sounded out, "Lu Shu, why are you here? Where are your parents?"
He knew Lu Shu came from a poor family but he didn’t know that he was an orphan . The information the heavenly network obtained through their research was handed directly over to the heavenly kings and there was no need to provide members such as Xi Fei with all the information .
Xi Fei and the rest weren’t even clear of Li Xianyi’s identity apart from the fact that one of the important members of the golden foundation stayed there and they were to avoid the area if they didn’t have a need to go there .

At this moment, the entire place… fell silent…
Lu Shu…
Flashes of the previous scene flashed through the parents’ minds as they turned around to look at the newly silent Lu Shu .
"This Lu Shu is extremely powerful…"
"Your children should spend more time with him . Spending more time with such a knowledgeable and wise child would let your child improve…"
Lu Shu’s voice echoed in their ears .
Parents, "???"
"From Ye Jianguo’s distress, +477…"
"From…"
Lu Shu was stunned . Everyone was so generous! His classmates were wonderful and their parents were really wonderful parents!
But he couldn’t care less about all these and walked over to Xi Fei, "Teacher, I’m an orphan so I have to come over and find out the details about this meeting . "
Xi Fei was stunned . He only just found out that Lu Shu was an orphan .
Thinking about it, this meeting was indeed important and attendance was necessary, "Alright, stay then . "
"Alright," Lu Shu ran back to the group and got seated .
The parents started whispering amongst themselves . They now understood why their children spoke about Lu Shu with such annoyance, he really had a problem!
Parents continued streaming into the classroom . Seats were not assigned and parents sat wherever they wanted to . After some time, the seats beside Lu Shu were still empty . Only at the end, when left with no choice, people started to fill up the seats next to him… it was like everyone was afraid of him .
Xi Fei started to take attendance to see whose parents were not present .
Those who were called out had to sign on the form as well to confirm that they were present . It was to acknowledge that they understood whatever information which they were going to receive .
Lu Shu was listening to the attendance taking but realized that Jiang Shuyi’s name was skipped . He wasn’t part of this parent meeting .
He was suddenly worried . Zhong Yutang was obviously looking after Jiang Shuyi back in the remain . But now, why were his parents not here at such an important meeting? Xi Fei seemed to know why .
And what relations did Jiang Shuyi’s family have with the heavenly network? Could those huge families have infiltrated the heavenly network?
After all, this was a new piece of cake, very new, and everyone wanted a piece of it .
When there was no war, practitioners were not important to civilians . But it was different to those people of importance . Practitioners could be employed as bodyguards or something of that sort .
How could normal bodyguards compare to practitioners? They were just not of the same ilk .
After taking attendance, Xi Fei stood on the rostrum and everyone went silent, "The students should have told you what happened in the remain . We didn’t request for secrecy regarding this incident, we just wanted to give everyone some time to think over this incident . By now, everyone should have thought more or less about this incident . "
One parent said, "We know that this incident was a mishap and we can understand it . But we wish to get some assurance that our children’s lives will not be put at risk again!"
Xi Fei pondered for a few seconds before replying, "This parent might not have understood what I meant . What I meant was that those worried parents can have their child quit daoyuan class . We are not making it compulsory to stay . The abilities of those students would be sealed upon quitting and they would never be able to use them again . "
