Chapter 287: Top Results In The Trial (2/2)
“So you’re the guys who want to have your results personally judged?” Wen Sansi turned around and calmly looked at the trio. An intense scholarly aura radiated from him; he did not seem like the Ten Arbiter who had single handedly suppressed the Shenwu Continent as he had no air of superiority about him.
Starsibyl bowed graciously. “May Arbiter Wen judge us.”
Wen Sansi smiled and nodded. The next moment, an invisible force spread out and isolated Lu Yin and Grandini Mavis.
Grandini was anxious, as she wanted the same results as Starsibyl and did not want Starsibyl to go first. “Arbiter Wen, please let me go first.”
Wen Sansi was flabbergasted by this request.
Starsibyl laughed before explaining, “Our descriptions are going to be the same, but that won’t affect the judged outcome. The results will be the same.”
“You both discovered the information at the same time?” Wen Sansi was interested.
Grandini nodded. “That’s right, we discovered it at the same time. Or to be more accurate, I saw it before her.”
Starsibyl smiled.
Wen Sansi then looked at Lu Yin. “And you?”
The two girls also looked at Lu Yin curiously.
Lu Yin gestured before saying, “Ladies first.”
Wen Sansi smiled. “Such good manners. It’s no wonder why Mira likes you.”
Lu Yin felt sluggish and a little speechless as well. He forced out a smile and clarified, “There’s nothing going on between Mira and me.”
Wen Sansi laughed and said, “There’s no need to hide anything—she’s mentioned you to mne before. I can tell that she appreciates you greatly. I’ve seen your record, and it’s pretty good. Even when I was a Limiteer, I wasn’t any stronger than you. You are indeed qualified to be a candidate for the Ten Arbiters.”
Lu Yin’s face changed, and he stared directly into Wen Sansi’s eyes. Wen Sansi did not back down, but there was nothing else in his eyes besides cheer.
Lu Yin did not really understand this person. He felt like a blade of grass that swayed in the wind, but would not be blown away no matter how fierce the storm was. There was a quiet sense of resolution and great presence to him. Lu Yin believed that Wen Sansi’s tenacious aura came from his self-confidence in his own strength.
“I say, what are you two men doing, staring at each other? How can the number one beauty in the universe, Starsibyl, put up with this treatment?” Grandini cried out.
Wen Sansi and Lu Yin were unaffected by her words and calmly diverted their gazes.
“Grandini, you go first. I’ll judge you first,” Wen Sansi said.
Grandini looked at Lu Yin sharply. “You can’t listen.”
Lu Yin was rendered speechless, and he felt like he could see Lulu’s shadow in this girl. Are the Mavis family members all the same? They managed to gain control of the universe’s finances with those kinds of personalities?
Wen Sansi isolated Lu Yin and Starsibyl while he listened to Grandini’s account. He was shocked by the information she revealed. It didn’t take Grandini very long to finish her report, and then Wen Sansi listened to Starsibyl’s account.
The two had similar reports and had both discovered that the Tower of Resonating Light was Ming Taizhong’s tomb. Their accomplishments could be considered as completing one of the trial’s biggest missions, so they would definitely receive good results.
After isolating Starsibyl and Grandini, Wen Sansi finally looked at Lu Yin. “It’s your turn. What did you discover?”
Lu Yin glanced at the two curious ladies and replied, “The Tower of Resonating Light is Ming Taizhong’s tomb.”
Wen Sansi curiously asked, “They infiltrated the palace and manipulated the Explorers in order to seize that information. How did you discover this?”
“This information is not limited to just the palace. Reverent King Ming Zhaoshu also knows this, and I was once a coachman in the Reverent King's household.”
Wen Sansi nodded and did not ask for any further details. “If that’s the case, then the results of you three will be the same.”
“Please wait,” Lu Yin spoke and faced Wen Sansi seriously. “I also know the secret of the Tower of Resonating Light as well as its configuration diagram.”
Not long after, the results of this most recent batch of trialtakers that had left the Shenwu Continent were announced. Most people had assumed that Starsibyl would be ranked the highest, but the truth stunned them, and even Starsibyl herself was taken aback. The best results belonged to Lu Yin; Wen Sansi had verified that Lu Yin had completed the mission of finding Ming Taizhong’s tomb.
This result shocked the entire space station and astounded many others as the news spread throughout the universe. The two permanent missions of the Shenwu Continent had not been completed for a thousand years, but one of them had been completed on this day.
Starsibyl and Grandini both stared at Lu Yin in shock. “How did you complete the mission? We clearly gave our accounts, but you must have found some dirty secrets.” Grandini kicked up a fuss.
Starsibyl gazed intently at Lu Yin, as this person was becoming harder and harder for her to read. That had been especially true when he left the Shenwu Continent. There was now a familiar sensation coming off of his body, which was almost definitely the sign of a domain. This person is getting stronger… She was looking forward to the battle between the top four.
The person with the top results from this trial would naturally be able to join the Outerverse Youth Council. Since Wen Sansi was one of the Ten Arbiters, he could not personally make arrangements for Lu Yin, even if he appreciated his rising talent. Instead, Mira was the one who made arrangements for Lu Yin. It turned out that Mira was also at the space station.
When he faced Mira once again, Lu Yin felt uncomfortable. This woman was just too alluring, and it felt as if she was teasing him even though she was just looking at him.
“Congratulations on entering the Outerverse Youth Council. You were even ranked number one in this trial,” Mira marvelled as she beamed at him.
Lu Yin had always felt that something was sinister about her smile, as if she were delighting in his misfortune. “Senior Mira, your smile’s very strange.”
