Chapter 1134: 1134

In reality, this secret meeting was not meant to hide the truth from Lu Shu . However, if Lu Shu was at the meeting, Sakurai Yaeko would be too embarrassed to speak .

To Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin’s surprise, Sakurai Yaeko only discussed one issue at the secret meeting . She wanted to join the Heavenly Network and become a foreign Heavenly King of the Heavenly Network…

Sakurai Yaeko was very polite when she brought this up . “I don’t need to be a Heavenly King . I’m fine with being an ordinary member . ”

Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin were dumbfounded . Was this possible? This was too much!

In reality, Sakurai Yaeko had wanted to do this for a long time . Even Motegi Toshimitsu had a feeling that this would happen . Sakurai Yaeko had asked her several times about what policies Motegi Toshimitsu would implement to deal with other organizations . Would she be radical or conservative?

How would she treat the Collection of Gods? Would she be tolerant or strict?

Motegi Toshimitsu felt that if Sakurai Yaeko did not plan on leaving, she would not have such plans .

But was Sakurai Yaeko planning to abandon the Collection of Gods and go to the Heavenly Network for Lu Shu?

But Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin were thinking of something else . The Collection of Gods’ attitude towards other organizations was their favorite . All they had to do was to take care of themselves . They did not aim to contribute much to the world . It was good enough that they did not cause more trouble .

This was a change that had occurred after Sakurai Yaeko completely controlled the Collection of Gods . It might be different with a new leader .

Furthermore, Sakurai Yaeko’s position in the Collection of Gods was very high . If another leader stepped up, a faction of the Collection of Gods might not be satisfied . There would be internal strife within the Collection of Gods once again .

But this was not the main concern of Nie Ting and Shi Xuejin . It was very hard for them to discuss such practical affairs with a pure, young girl . Nie Ting was concerned about the overall situation as the leader of the Heavenly Network, but Sakurai Yaeko did not seem to have any practical aims .

Regarding the long-lasting political stability within an organization, others could be headstrong, but could Nie Ting do the same? Others might feel that he was cold when he considered this situation, but if Nie Ting did this to return a favor without thinking it through, he would no longer be Nie Ting .

All of these decisions might affect the distant future of the organization .

There were times when Shi Xuejin felt sorry for Nie Ting . He knew that Nie Ting had wanted someone else to be the leader of the Heavenly Network . It was not that Nie Ting felt that he was incompetent . He felt that he was more suitable as an invincible assassin .

Like Zhang Weiyu and Liu Yizhao, their responsibilities were not the life that they most desired . Now was the time they could truly fulfill their potential .

But Nie Ting had no choice . He had considered Chen Baili and Lu Shu, but they were not quite suitable .

Chen Baili was aloof from the affairs of the world . If Lu Shu controlled the Heavenly Network, the Heavenly Network might cause too much mischief .

Nie Ting asked, “Are you planning to return to China with us?”

Sakurai Yaeko smiled and said, “No . I just hope that it will be easier for me to go there in the future . ”

She had said so, but everyone knew that if Sakurai Yaeko wanted to visit China, all she had to do was ask . Everyone would welcome her .

They all knew that Sakurai Yaeko was giving herself a possibility .

Sakurai Yaeko miled, “Perhaps one day, when everything here is settled, I will go there to live permanently . Will you welcome me?”

Nie Ting smiled . “You are welcome . ”

Why not? If Sakurai Yaeko became a permanent resident in China, it would not be the responsibility of the Heavenly Network . It would be Lu Shu’s responsibility . It was up to them to think about it . We do not understand the world of young people…

When Nie Ting said, “You are welcome,” this meant that Sakurai Yaeko had secretly joined the Heavenly Network .

But Nie Ting would not directly give Sakurai Yaeko the identity of a Heavenly King . She would be an ordinary member .

When the door of the meeting room opened, Lu Shu asked curiously, “What did you talk about inside? Tell me . ”

Shi Xuejin and Nie Ting smiled, but did not speak . They were not willing to tell him .

Nie Ting stepped into a void . Shi Xuejin was about to leave when he was pulled back by Lu Shu…

Shi Xuejin was puzzled . “Are you bullying me? Why didn’t you stop Nie Ting?”

“Does it matter? Tell me what you talked about inside,” said Lu Shu . He did not have a kind expression on his face .

“Ahem, it’s fine if I tell you,” said Sakurai Yaeko . “Sakurai Yaeko has secretly joined the Heavenly Network . ”

Lu Shu gasped in shock . This was major news . “You agreed? Are y’all crazy?”

Shi Xuejin was unhappy . “Hey, I am your senior . Can you be more respectful when you speak?”

Lu Shu paused for two seconds . “Are you crazy?!”

“… everything I say to you is meaningless!”

As Shi Xuejin spoke, he brushed away Lu Shu’s hand . He turned and stepped into a void .

Sakurai Yaeko stepped out of the meeting room looking embarrassed . She smiled at Lu Shu . “Lu Shu-kun, we will be colleagues in the future . I look forward to working with you . I will find some time to look for you . ”

Sakurai Yaeko had not decided to become a permanent resident in China . Instead, she would stay in the Collection of Gods .

Even Sakurai Yaeko had not thought about how she would interact with Lu Shu . She knew that Lu Shu was more touched than happy .

To Sakurai Yaeko, Lu Shu was like a hero who would appear as promised when she was in danger .

But you could not say that the hero loved whoever he saved .

Sakurai Yaeko felt that they still had a lot of time . There were countless possibilities . She was not afraid and would continue waiting . However, she would not just sit and wait and do nothing either .

Furthermore, it was fine even if she could not wait . Sakurai Yaeko felt that she could live in those beautiful moments .

“Lu Shu-kun, can you accompany me to Hakodate mountain again?” Sakurai Yaeko asked .

That was the place where Lu Shu had saved her .

The two of them stood on Hakodate mountain . The sea was in the distance . The waves crashed against the shore in the starlight .

“Lu Shu-kun, we will be able to live for a long time, right?” Sakurai Yaeko smiled .

“Yes . ” Lu Shu nodded his head . “A Rank One has a lifespan of 800 years . But I think that you will be able to advance to the master realm . ”

Sakurai Yaeko happily said, “I will work hard to advance to the master realm . That way, I will be able to accompany you for a longer time . ”

Lu Shu was dumbfounded . On the other hand, the young girl seemed to have revealed her thoughts and ran away . Lu Shu had never imagined this goodbye, but it was as if they would meet each other again one day .

For some reason, Lu Shu felt that the night sky was particularly vast and clear .
