Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Chapter 168 Celebrities

Another battle, another victory, and once again... he lay on the field.

"I will never do anything like fighting someone of a higher level again. I will also crush noobs and rely on my higher strength to overwhelm others."

Once again, everything returned to normal, and Lu Yunshi sincerely expressed his feelings to Lao Liu.

He twisted his neck, stared into Lao Liu's eyes, and asked rather nervously.

"Hey, has the temperature gone down yet?"

"It's gone down, it's gone down." Old Six nodded hurriedly, but as soon as he finished speaking, a loud commotion came from outside Lu Yunshi's house.

"Lu Yunshi! Lu Yunshi! Lu Yunshi! Lu Yunshi!"

......

Lu Yunshi walked to the window, looked at the large group of human students who had gathered there, quickly drew the curtains, and turned back to stare straight at Lao Liu.

"Surrendered?"

The sixth brother gave a bitter smile. "It's really true. We've already gone to clarify, but there's just a group of people who just won't believe that you're not the person they think you are. It's that group... he... he's a little bit too many."

"..."

Seeing the eldest brother's clenched fist, the sixth brother quickly stepped back and said.

"But it's not all bad news."

"Hmm?" Lu Yunshi glanced at him sideways.

"I made a killing by taking advantage of your popularity these past two days, at least this much."

The power of money is immense. Seeing the gesture Lao Liu made, Lu Yunshi's anger subsided somewhat, but he still couldn't help but speak up.

"You used my popularity to trick me into winning against Tianyi, and now you're doing this again?"

"Don't worry, boss. Before, I took the official route, which made it hard to explain myself. This time, I'm taking the channel route. I'm only responsible for collecting money and won't show my face. It's all others buying under our name. If something goes wrong, I can explain myself clearly. Besides, before, I mainly opened one round, but this time I didn't open any."

"Hmm...you made money, huh?" Lu Yunshi listened and fell into deep thought, but he still wasn't going to let Lao Liu off so easily. "You, a cultivator like us, should...defy the heavens and rise up to strengthen ourselves, why are you acting like you're obsessed with money?"

"Isn't that a quirk you instilled in me, boss?" The sixth brother rolled his eyes at Lu Yunshi and muttered irritably.

"what?"

"It's nothing. I was just saying that's true. The boss is right. I'll change it gradually in the future."

After saying that, Lao Liu hesitated for a moment before finally making a decision and asking.

"Hey boss, are you going to win this battle today?"

"Win?" Lu Yunshi sneered, his hands behind his back. "Sixth Brother, do you know how I defeated Tianyi?"

"Because you're better than him, boss," the sixth brother said without hesitation.

Lu Yunshi shook his head slightly. "No, I was able to beat him because of the opponent I'm facing today. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to win."

"Such a prodigy, she's a monster. Tianyi is already powerful enough, but she, just by helping me, was able to defeat Tianyi, who is considered invincible by others. Monster... monster! How can I fight such a monster, let alone that she helped me?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Liu's expression instantly turned strange, and he hesitated before saying, "Um... Boss, what I'm saying is, is it possible that you're also quite a monster?"

"You dare say I'm not human?" Lu Yunshi glared at him, this kid actually dared to call him out.

Two seconds later, Lu Yun sighed. "To be honest, anything can happen. I originally only planned to aim for a top ten spot, and at most, I would try my best to push forward. I didn't expect to jump to the top two so quickly."

"Life is truly unpredictable, even with a large portion of food like this..."

"Boss, let's stop with the tired jokes. It's getting late, we should hit the road."

"Oh." Lu Yunshi nodded, then immediately realized something was wrong. "Wait, what are you saying? That's so unlucky."

Before going out, the two disguised themselves to avoid being discovered.

"Boss, although disguising ourselves is a good plan, it's really not appropriate for us to wear night clothes during the day."

Looking at the night clothes that Lu Yunshi had pulled out from somewhere, Lao Liu couldn't help but chuckle.

"Huh? Really? Don't you think he's handsome?" Lu Yunshi looked him up and down, feeling quite satisfied.

“Stylish, I completely trust the boss’s judgment, but... this is daytime.”

"Tsk, these young people nowadays are really something. They don't care about atmosphere or style at all when they do things. Oh well, let's just do it your way."

"..."

After a while, at Lao Liu's strong suggestion, the two finally put on two hats that could cover half of their faces and went out through the back door.

Lu Yunshi's popularity seems to have exceeded his expectations. Apart from the hundred or so people at the door, people outside are also discussing Lu Yunshi from time to time.

"Look, this is the same longsword Lu Yunshi used. I heard the shopkeeper say that Lu Yunshi comprehended the Dao through this sword, which is why his swordsmanship is so exquisite. Although mine can't compare to the one Lu Yunshi used, which can change forms, it's still quite good. It has a lot of charm. Holding it is like holding Lu Yunshi's hand and fighting alongside him. So it's really a good weapon, and it quickly resonated with me."

"Wow~ What a cool sword! No wonder it was used by Lu Yunshi. I want one too. Brother, would you be willing to part with it? I'm willing to pay a high price."

"Hey, why are you giving up your love? If you really want it, go to Han Guang Weapon Shop in the north of Holy Blood City. They sell this kind of sword. I heard the owner has a good relationship with Lu Yunshi. When you go there, mention Lu Yunshi's name and you'll get a 20% discount. It'll only cost about 1,500 gold coins, super cheap. But you have to hurry, a lot of people have already bought it, and it will probably be out of stock in a couple of days."

"Damn, I'm off then. Thanks, brother."

......

Watching this scene unfold before his eyes, Lu Yunshi turned to look at Lao Liu, and was about to speak when a new voice came from the side.

"Lu Yunshi's hairstyle? Who did yours?"

"Oh? I won't tell you that I spent 500 gold coins at Old Iron Hair Salon in Holy Academy City to get this hairstyle, and I certainly won't tell you that with this hairstyle, the goddess I've been fawning over for five years is now bowing and scraping to me, even giving me 1,000 gold coins as pocket money every day~"

"Hey bro, right? I'm coming right now."

......

"Look, that man is holding Lu Yunshi's emotional notes."

"Hey? What are you doing?"

"Brother, godfather, where did you get this in your hand?"

"What do you mean, where did this come from? I wrote this myself. I copied all the love letters that Lu Yunshi has written for Lu Yunxi up to this point. With this, I'm no longer afraid of not being able to win over my goddess."

"Huh? But Lu Yunshi himself didn't get any, so what's the use of this?"

"Superficial, that's just their way of expressing their feelings, actually..."

"Love my ass! Boss has no feelings for that stinky woman. You, the salesman, at least change it to a love letter from Lu Yunshi to Li Hongying."

Li Hongying suddenly barged in, kicking the person holding the notebook away. Not satisfied with that, she went forward and punched him again. After a while, she suddenly stopped, her nose twitching.

"Strange, it smells like the boss."
