Chapter 82: An Act Of Meri (2/2)

Lu Yin looked at the man and replied sincerely, “Yes, Royal Uncle.”

The Undying Yushan stared into Lu Yin’s eyes, then smiled, “You really are Zishan’s descendant. He also knew how to show gratitude where it is due. Alright, I’m tired, you can leave.”

Lu Yin nodded and left, while the Emperor looked at his back and sighed towards the skies, “Your descendants are really like you.”

……

Lu Yin hadn’t even reached the Grand Astral Gate before the imperial edict had been sent out, “Owing to amendments for his crimes, Sigmund Mathers is pardoned from capital punishment. He will be detained temporarily due to insufficient evidence of his treason.”

Many high officials of the Empire were stunned by this order, unable to understand just why this had happened. Only those on the Capital Star knew that the Zishan King had gone to the palace.

“How is this possible? Amendments for his crimes? What amendments? What did that brat do?” Sicar stared at his screen blankly, an emotion mimicked by many people across the Empire.

Even at the Grand Astral Gate, Bronsen was staring at his own screen in similar disbelief. He had never spoken out of turn towards Lu Yin because his job was to ensure the Zishan King’s safety, but he hadn’t felt that pleading for mercy would have worked. Now, he had to reevaluate this Zishan King who’d brought about a miracle. It seemed like this guy wasn’t arrogant and oblivious; he had the brains to match his guts.

“Boss, you’re out!” Xu San was excited.

Lu Yin frowned at the wording that made him seem like he was being released from prison, “Bronsen, do you know where Vice-Treasurer Sicar lives?”

Bronsen was distracted, “Yes.”

“Bring me there.”

Bronsen nodded and set the route on the plane, which dashed off the runway only a few moments later. This was Lu Yin’s first time to the capital, and it was quite different from what he had imagined. There certainly was technology everywhere, but there were some ancient buildings as well. A large section of the place was covered in greenery, which was a stark contrast from the planes that constantly flew by and the stunned expressions of those within. His transport was far too eye-grabbing here.

Not far away, a giant screen was showing a lively young girl singing, and there were people crowding around it both on the ground and on the bridges. The three rings could be seen clearly in the sky, circling in the air like clouds.

“Boss, look. So many beauties!” Xu San exclaimed as he surveyed the city below, but Lu Yin was wholly uninterested. The Great Yu Empire was a far cry from the Innerverse.

A plane suddenly dashed across their front and turned sharply to move beside Lu Yin’s, and a pretty girl threw him a flirtatious glance through the glass, “Hey, handsome. Let’s have a race to see who’s faster.”

“Sure, let’s bet,” Lu Yin’s lips curved up.

Her eyes flashed, “How much?”

“Five cubes of star crystals.”

Her jaw dropped, “Five cubes? You must be crazy! Do you even have that many?”

“Don’t play if you can’t afford it,” he dismissed, and she snorted and left in another direction.

“She was such a pretty girl, Boss. You shouldn’t scare them.” Xu San felt it was a shame.
