He looked at Lu Shu, who was enduring the difficulties and flying to Bulao City . Suddenly, he felt somewhat foreign . There was an unfamiliar spirit within that familiar figure . This made Chen Zuan feel insecure .
Coral said that he would return, but Chen Zuan felt that the one that returned… was possibly no longer Lu Shu .
Other people might not feel this way, as to them, the Ninth Heavenly King was simply a symbol . They did not need to care about his personality or interactions . He only had to be strong and mysterious .
But to Chen Zuan, the Ninth Heavenly King was not that simple . He had experienced many things with Lu Shu . From the Salt Lake remains, they had gone through life and death together… although more accurately, Lu Shu risked his life, while he followed along .
But what Chen Zuan needed was not a powerful comrade . He needed a friend .
No matter how they joked about it, and no matter how harsh Lu Shu typically was, Chen Zuan could still laugh freely and wildly explore at the verge of death .
If that person was no longer Lu Shu, but another spirit, would it still be the same?
They would no longer eat hotpot together or joke around together . No one would ask Chen Zuan why he was no longer wearing a hat either .
This kind of life was very lonely .
“I don’t want him to come back,” said Chen Zuan in a deep voice .
“Hm?” Coral looked at Chen Zuan, puzzled .

Chen Zuan lowered his head . His expression was hidden in the shadows . “I like the current Brother Shu more . Don’t you think that Brother Shu is pretty good?”
Coral thought about it . Suddenly, she laughed . “You’re right . We’ll have to see his decision . ”
The clouds in the sky were peaceful before Lu Shu arrived . When Lu Shu flew to the entrance of Bulao City, the tightly shut doors suddenly opened with a crash . Inside, there were no streets or anything else . There was only a black star . It seemed infinitely deep .
Lu Shu did not think much about it . He held the Seizing Thief and walked in . The flames of the Seizing Thief displayed his emotions . He wanted to find Lu Xiaoyu .
But the moment he stepped in, he felt like a sculpture while maintaining his stride . The entire world was under the strangest rule . Lu Shu felt empty, as if he had forgotten many things .
His memories had been engulfed by a mist . He was at a loss .
The burglar-proof door of an old house opened in front of him . It was a scorching hot season . Inside the “house”, there were a few plates of food on the dining table . Although they did not look like much, they seemed to go particularly well with rice .
The faint lights were lit up . A warm and aged woman carried a bowl of rice and walked out of the kitchen . She smiled at him . “Xiaoshu, are you back from school? Go wash your hands and eat . ”
Lu Shu was dumbfounded for three seconds . “Mom?”
The warm woman furrowed her eyebrows . “Did you do poorly on your exams again? I will call your form teacher later and ask about your performance at school!”
Lu Shu pondered . He felt that something was wrong, but everything felt natural . He felt slightly guilty . “My performance at school has been rather good . ”

The old world seemed to have been destroyed . The new world had arrived . The past had been locked up . He no longer had those deep memories .
Lu Shu, a 17 year old third-year high school student . He seemed very normal . He had everything everyone else had .
When he was 17 years old, he worked hard and studied in his third year of high school . Like a majority of third-year high school students, he ran with everything he had . It was the peak of his youth . He did not regret anything . He did not do quite well for the final mock exam before his high school exams . Lu Shu felt that he would only be able to attend a second tier university .
When he was 18 years old, he completed his high school exams and entered university .
During his graduation ceremony, a girl confessed to him . She was the prettiest girl in class . Many people liked her . She could play the piano and lived in a large mansion . It was said that after she graduated from high school, her family gave her a car .
But Lu Shu rejected her . Everyone looked at Lu Shu, puzzled . They did not know why Lu Shu had made this decision .
Lu Shu himself did not know either . He stood in the sports ground . It was a hot summer afternoon . Weeds had started to grow . The scorching sun shone on the sports ground, like a sea of light .
Lu Shu felt as if he was waiting for someone . Thus, he could not accept the girl’s confession .
When Lu Shu turned 21, he was in his third year of university . Students had started to prepare to take the graduate entrance exams, but Lu Shu was not willing to continue wasting time in the ivory tower .
His grades were normal . His teachers neither liked nor disliked him . They did not even have an impression of him .
During this period, a girl chased Lu Shu . She was not good-looking, but she was not ugly either . Lu Shu told her that he was waiting for his fated one . She left while crying .

That day, it rained heavily . Lu Shu distractedly stood on the sports ground . He felt as if he was forgetting something . It was as if the most important thing… was gone .
When he returned to his bedroom, the fact that he had rejected a girl has started to spread . His room mates ridiculed him . “Shu, you are like a blockhead . You have been single for so long . We have never seen you like anyone . Why are you acting like you are finding your fated one? Ha ha ha . ”
Lu Shu did not say anything, as he did not know who he was waiting for either .
When Lu Shu was 22 years old, he graduated from university . He had a normal educational background and was from a normal family . It was very difficult for him to find a very good job .
While his classmates flew far and high, Lu Shu remained where he was . His one month salary never seemed to be enough, no matter what he did . If he did not date anyone, he would barely have some surplus .
A classmate who opened a factory invited Lu Shu to work with him .
Lu Shu rejected . He watched as his friend drove away in a branded car .
When Lu Shu was 27 years old, he had attended many weddings . Some classmates were even having their second child .
Fewer and fewer people attended gatherings . They were often too busy with work or were busy with their children . There was almost no one at the gatherings . Only a few lonely people drank and shared stories .
One of his classmates suddenly said, “Did you know that the prettiest girl in our class is still single? She has always liked you . ”
Lu Shu shook his head . “I already have someone in my heart . ”
His classmates laughed out loud . “Stop it . How can we not know whether you have anyone in your heart?”
His parents started to arrange dates for Lu Shu . He had no choice but to accept this awkward decision . He had seen over ten ladies, but none of them were the person he was waiting for .
Slowly, Lu Shu himself started to move .
Where in the world was that person?
While they were drinking, they gave Lu Shu advice . They started to sigh . “Shu, most people do not marry the person they like best . Everyone has changed from ‘it must be you’ to ‘you will do’ . You have to make do!”
