Poor?
Being poor is alright; being poor is safe.
This place has been where I studied, grew, and fought. My family and friends are here.
"I love D8B3 area."
Xu Shu gave a thumbs up towards the towering Star Tower in the distance, then turned and entered the inn, returning to his room.
There were still a few small tasks to attend to.
The first was, as the newly appointed high-level Prosecutor of the Judgent Departnt, having recently lost ten team mbers, to write a report to secure their death benefits.
This wasn’t urgent, but needed to be done during the day. He had to make a trip to the Judgent Departnt and, incidentally, handle his "new official" duties.
The second task was to take care of the issues concerning the widow from the Gu family,
Gu Ru.
Xu Shu looked across to the opposite door, recalling the mother and daughter from the Gu family, which caused him so annoyance.
He’d brought them back because the silly little girl, "Gu Yunyi," had a special urinating trait similar to Gu Pan.
Was there any suspicion she was Gu Pan’s illegitimate daughter?
That, of course, was a joke.
Just by looking at Gu Pan’s innocence, it was clear she was untouched.
But there certainly was so connection between the two, so Xu Shu brought them here, intending to help Gu Pan inquire and see if there was any specific connection, performing a good deed in the process.
However, the entire Gu family had relocated.
He’d also encountered an attack from the Cao Gang, and after being tossed around till now without going ho for two days, he’d almost forgotten about them.
These three must be quite confused, having offended him unintentionally and been left hanging for two days.
Since they had no one to rely on and were helpless, it might be better to...
At that thought, Xu Shu harbored malicious intentions.
Resolved to act, he imdiately went over and knocked on the door.
Shortly after, Gu Ru opened half the door in thin clothes, reluctantly welcoming with, "Sir, good, good morning."
It wasn’t actually morning yet; there was still half an hour before dawn.
But this man coming to knock on a widow’s door so early in the morning was all too apparent in its intent.
What should I do?
Fight back?
He is a Transcendent. What do I have to fight him?
Does he want to marry ?
But being a widow, am I worthy?
Sigh, let it be. I don’t ask for him to treat well or give a status. As long as he is willing to feed and allow to raise my daughter, even if he insists on making his mistress, even if he wants to... it doesn’t matter...
Gu Ru’s heart raced, her face flushed.
She opened the door today prepared to sacrifice her dignity.
Xu Shu casually handed over a neat fifty thousand dollars, saying, "Take this money."
"..."
Gu Ru was stunned; her heart suddenly filled with indignation.
So early in the morning, he intended to... and even gave money first... what does he take for? Even if I die today, in a head-on crash against the wall, I...
Gu Ru hesitated internally, looking towards Xu Shu, her gaze lingering on his broad shoulders,
A few seconds later.
"Thank you, sir, but sir, could we not do this here... Yi and Xiao Yun are still asleep..."
Gu Ru said with a bitten lip, reckoning a person shouldn’t, at least shouldn’t,
Not in front of the children.
Xu Shu looked at her quizzically, then said, "Keep the money; don’t tell anyone you’ve seen . Also, don’t move houses; I’ll need to find you later."
"Ah?" Gu Ru was sowhat bewildered.
"Nothing serious, you’re part of the Gu family, and I have history with them. Consider this money compensation for the hardships these past few days. Let’s be friends, haha. Once it’s daylight, you can leave; I’ve paid for the room. Rember not to move, but if you must, leave your address at my place; you know where my house is."
Xu Shu’s face was amiable, but Gu Ru felt fearful seeing it; she knew this man seed benign now, but if she dared disobey, he had the ans and thods to find and tornt her.
Yet...
Is it over?
Isn’t he going to do sothing to ?
Seeing Xu Shu leave nonchalantly, Gu Ru pursed her lips, confused and torn, unsure of whether to feel relieved or worried.
...
...
With that matter settled, Xu Shu returned to his room and stretched lazily.
He had not slept for two consecutive nights and, after nurous stress-inducing promotions and erosions, he was quite fatigued.
Relaxing now, he fell asleep imdiately.
When he woke up again, it was nearly 9 a.m., already bright outside.
Despite only a few hours of sleep, it was very efficient. Xu Shu felt refreshed and took a glance at the Tai Chu Scroll:
[Todays’s opening tis: 3]
"Tsck, why isn’t there a ’sunrise brings a rejuvenation of everything’ today?"
Xu Shu licked his lips; this was one of his rare mornings not waking up precisely at six.
The Tai Chu Scroll had refreshed while he was asleep, but today it lacked a "greeting."
Three lives in hand, Xu Shu was calm and not in a hurry to start Adventurer Mode to farm "death potions," but instead undressed and walked into the bathroom.
He placed the small jade Buddha on the counter, patted his face, then turned on the shower and lay down on the floor.
Today feels great, might as well level up another rank!
Honestly, Xu Shu had already brought his Second-order Curse Seal to level 11, just one level shy of unlocking the "guaranteed safeguard."
He managed to hold off for several hours, perfectly adjusting his state before he began absorbing the crystal to enhance his strength—a testant to his restraint. How many in this world could do so?
The temptation of hitting a big guarantee? No way.
But I, I can do it!
