Chapter 241: The Scholar Of The Ten Arbiters (2/2)

“What a petty man.” Mira rolled her eyes.

Lu Yin did not explain the situation any further to Mira. His family must have had good reasons for them to require that he join the Great Yu Empire Youth Council. Now that he had gone beyond that and could stand on equal ground with the Outerverse Youth Council members, he wondered if it would affect anything. Whatever it was, joining the Council of Astral Academy meant that he would also be able to join the Outerverse Youth Council as there was no conflict of interest. One was the Astral Combat Academy while the other belonged to the Outerverse; he could join both.

Lu Yin still remembered how Bazeer had humiliated him in the past. When he went back to the Outerverse’s floating city of San Dios, he would settle the score then.

“You won’t go back on your word, right?” Lu Yin asked while looking at Mira.

She smiled, and her eyes curved into crescents as she clearly answered, “What do you think?”

Lu Yin blinked but did not answer.

Mira tilted her head. “I have a question for you. If I like your answer, then I’ll submit a recommendation for you to enter the Outerverse Youth Council.”

“Go on,” Lu Yin said.

Mira drew closer to him with an impish grin. “Who’s prettier: me or Michelle?”

Lu Yin was startled. He never thought that Mira would ask such a question; they were still on the battlefield! However, he reacted quickly and immediately answered, “You’re obviously prettier.”

“Hehe, really?” Mira giggled happily.

“Yes,” Lu Yin said as he nodded seriously.

Mira came even closer to Lu Yin and whispered, “How about I marry you then?”

Lu Yin’s heart stopped beating for a moment. It was a very tempting proposal. He gazed at her figure, and her pale neck and beautiful curves entered his eyes while her enchanting fragrance tantalized his senses.

However, he froze for just a brief moment. After only a second, he hastily pulled himself away. Mira wasn’t quite as attractive as Madam Nalan, so in a way, Lu Yin already had acquired some experience and was able to somewhat restrain himself.

As he saw a cunning glint flash through Mira’s eyes, Lu Yin suddenly grew furious as he realized that he was being teased. He’d gone through multiple near-death experiences before, and he was not one to let himself be affected by a woman. With this thought, he immediately moved forward and lifted her chin with a single finger. Under her startled eyes, he seriously stated, “If you have the courage to marry me, then I will accept.”

Mira froze. She had always liked teasing others, but this was the first time she had even been on the receiving end. She was Mira, the Red Lotus Witchbow and someone who ranked in the Top 100 Rankings. More importantly, she was supported by the Ten Arbiters. It was precisely because she held such an exalted status that numerous disciples from large organizations did not dare to treat her disrespectfully, but right now, she was being teased by a mere youth. Mira couldn’t help but be shocked by this experience.

Lu Yin enjoyed the sensation when the tip of his index finger rubbed over her smooth skin as he slowly retracted his hand. He could not overdo things, or else the joke would become a prank. Above all else, he was still not a match for Mira.

“Enough with the jokes. Will you keep your word and submit a recommendation for me to enter the Outerverse Youth Council?” Lu Yin asked.

Mira was still frozen in shock at what had just happened, but then she glared at him. “You’re very daring. Aren’t you worried that the person behind me will settle this score with you?”

“The person backing you?” Lu Yin’s eyes flashed curiously.

Mira’s lips curved up. “He’s one of the Ten Arbiters. Scared yet?”

“Who is it?” Lu Yin asked.

Mira pointed at the sky. “The Scholar of the Ten Arbiters, Wen Sansi.”

“The Scholar of the Ten Arbiters?” Lu Yin was confused.

“That’s what everyone calls Wen Sansi. I’ll only warn you once—don’t be rude to me, or you’ll be in trouble when he finds out. All men are petty,” Mira threateningly said to Lu Yin, but then she smiled. “By the way, I recorded your answer just now. I’ll send it to Michelle, so be careful.” After that, she stepped back into the void and disappeared.

Lu Yin froze in place. That woman had tricked him, and she wanted to send his answer to Michelle? Lu Yin could already feel a headache developing just from thinking about it. He could already imagine Michelle’s fury when seeing the video. He hadn’t even helped her comprehend battle force yet, which was something that he had promised. With this matter piled on top, he would have to carefully choose his future words with Michelle.

“That woman is pretty interesting,” the Ghost Monkey said as his voice drifted into Lu Yin’s ear.

Lu Yin had completely forgotten about the tamed beast. “So you’ll be staying with me from now on?”

“I don’t have a choice. You were about to kill me, so I had to save myself somehow,” the Ghost Monkey answered sadly. Currently, it was impossible for him to die while he was someone’s tamed beast.

“Can I summon you to fight for me?” Lu Yin asked.

“Of course not,” the beast answered matter-of-factly.

Lu Yin contemptuously said, “Then why should I keep you around? I should just kill you as soon as possible.”

“Hey! Think this over. I might not be able to fight for you, but I do know a lot of ancient secrets, like about Progenitor Wushang. Don’t you want his inheritance? Once you get it, you’ll be invincible throughout the universe!” the monkey said temptingly.
