Chapter 202: Oath (Part 1)
If Lu Shu could be intimidated by Liu Jianguo, would he still be Lu Shu? He understood that Liu Jianguo’s generation of people had been through all kinds of ordeals in order to survive and it wasn’t surprising that they would be rather vicious. But he was still a normal human being.
In fact, Liu Jianguo could hire a hitman to kill him but the problem was, who could Liu Jianguo hire? Frankly speaking, all Class Cs were well-known figures in the country. One example would be Zhong Yutang who was placed in charge of the entire Yuzhou’s heavenly network management.
The local Class Cs were difficult to hire and experts outside of the heavenly network were hard to find… If a foreign Class C was brought here, it would definitely alert the heavenly network. As far as the recent Mt Beimang incident was concerned, the entire country was now prohibited to foreigners. Not that they couldn’t enter at all, but if they came in and killed a talented student such as Lu Shu, leaving the country would be impossible.
At this point in time, besides Nie Ting who was watching over the capital, the rest of the heavenly kings were allocated to the other parts of the country. Even if they managed to escape out of Yuzhou, there would still be a heavenly king to lead the chase.
China was too large for anyone to escape! If Class Cs were impossible to hire, only Class Ds would be available but Lu Shu wasn’t afraid of anyone below Class C.
Even if Liu Jianguo really hired a Class C, who could kill Lu Shu under the watch of Li Xianyi? This was no joke…
If a normal person could threaten someone who had embarked on the road of training, wouldn’t this training be pointless?
At this point in time, Xi Fei looked at the students who had stayed, “Congratulations to all. From now on, we will all be colleagues, so do take care of one another.” Immediately after, Xi Fei started hugging each and every one of these daoyuan students and Lu Shu was the first. Honestly, Lu Shu was rather unused to someone else being so passionate towards him.
He suddenly realized that Xi Fei didn’t thank everyone, but instead, congratulated everyone who stayed.
What would thanking everyone mean? It would be thanking everyone for their support and trust…
On the other hand, Xi Fei’s congratulation represented the pride he took in being part of the heavenly network and being enrolled in this organization was something worth celebrating to him.
Lu Shu didn’t know what to say and remained silent. Liu Jianguo signed his name sullenly as Xi Fei smiled, “Those students and parents who are quitting, do remain in this classroom with me and someone will be here soon to seal your chakras. The rest can proceed to the field downstairs. Those students quitting, you will be regaining your peaceful life but I don’t see it as a good thing. I feel that people should work hard to prove themselves in their life.”
Lu Shu was surprised, what is the gathering for? Does Li Yixiao have something to say again? But for some reason, after hearing Xi Fei’s words, Lu Shu felt calm and was able to think clearly.
When he was downstairs, he saw that Jiang Shuyi was already on the field. His parents didn’t attend to sign the papers and he was enrolled just like that. It’s not surprising since he was from such an established background…
Lu Shu greeted Jiang Shuyi cheerfully, “You’re really special. What are we gathered here for?”
Jiang Shuyi waved at the sight of Lu Shu and waited for him to walk closer, “It’s for the oath.” Oath? Lu Shu was stunned. He had forgotten about such a procedure. It seemed like be it joining a sect, or enlisting into an organization, or even embarking on certain jobs, there would always be an oath.
But he didn’t feel the need for an oath, it’s more like a tradition? Everyone would say things that even they themselves did not believe in.
Lu Shu suddenly realized a trace of solemn and seriousness in Jiang Shuyi’s expression and was a little curious, is this oath that important?
The parents were all brought to the side of the field. They could only observe the oath ceremony from outside while there was a little excitement brewing among the students.
Like everyone else, their priority used to be studying and waiting for the college entrance examination before deciding their own future.
Whether or not the future they wanted would come true, everything would still be peaceful and dull. But at this moment, their identities were completed change and they had become soldiers. No, more accurately, they were about to become officers. Needless to say, this change was significant enough to have an impact on their mindset. As of today, their lives would be completely torn apart from the past and would no longer be the same as those ordinary students.
At this moment, Li Yixiao suddenly walked up the flag-raising stage and looked down at the chaotic daoyuan students. He said calmly, “Gather according to your classes.” Li Yixiao was also holding a national flag and Lu Shu suddenly felt that Li Yixiao was finally serious for once. Normally, this guy was unreliable but once he was silent and serious, he gave off an indescribable sense of power.
This feeling was like… something that Li Yixiao was serious about must be major and to be taken seriously.
It felt like a mysterious strength flowing through Li Yixiao’s blood…
After the students had been lined up properly, Li Yixiao walked to the side of the flagpole and a little clumsily, he tied the national flag to the rope.
It seemed that it was Li Yixiao’s first time doing such a thing and just tying the rope took him five minutes.
After the rope was tied, Li Yixiao personally raised the flag up. A gust of wind blew over and the red flag was instantly lifted up.
The commotion between the students suddenly died down. Li Yixiao spoke calmly, “Welcome to the heavenly network. From today onwards…” Speaking halfway, Li Yixiao paused. He then calmly pulled out a piece of crumpled paper from his pocket which incited laughter from the students. Lu Shu looked at the piece of crumpled paper in Li Yixiao’s hand and imagined that he must have taken it out many times to memorize the script. But in the end, he still couldn’t memorize it… Li Yixiao continued, “From today onwards, everyone will bid farewell to the peaceful life you once had and the pledge to shed blood for the nation will no longer be empty words.”
Li Yixiao sounded serious and dignified as the students gradually quietened down as if someone had pressed the mute button for the whole field. Everything came to a still.
