Chapter 352: The Massacre Of The Pas (2/2)
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Yin spent these days in extreme peace. Puyu did not trouble him, and the external universe’s speculations about his connection with pirates had gradually died down. Everything seemed to be returning to normalcy.
Wen Sansi had also departed from San Dios several days prior to return to the Innerverse. In other words, all of San Dios was currently split between Puyu and Lu Yin.
Regardless of if Lu Yin had been stripped of his status as a representative, he still held the highest status out of all of Wendy Yushan’s subordinates, and in some sense, he could even be considered to be on an equal footing with her. Hence, her several subordinates still listened to Lu Yin, especially Barley, who was very obedient.
Lu Yin had also settled some matters with Puyu in the San Dios tower.
Puyu ultimately decided to ignore Lu Yin. If Wen Sansi could guess that the person who had delivered the warning to Darkstar Gorge was related to Lu Yin, then Puyu could as well. His gaze towards Lu Yin was now filled with apprehension.
Lu Yin did not cause trouble for Puyu of his own initiative since he knew that this person would not survive for very long. Vulture’s very existence already meant that Puyu would be cast into the abyss sooner or later. Since Wen Sansi had not acted, then he should still be investigating the councilor’s relationship with the Neohuman Alliance. After all, Puyu would be finished if anything became clear.
But if Puyu was finished, who would remain in power in San Dios? The Ten Arbiters would not deliver San Dios to Lu Yin or Wendy Yushan, so it seemed that new members would probably arrive soon.
On that day, San Dios welcomed two new subsidiary members who would be under Wendy Yushan: Yue Xianzi and An Shaohua.
The two arrived at almost the same time and reported to Lu Yin. Barley then escorted them to Lu Yin’s courtyard to await his instructions.
“Bring Brother An in,” Lu Yin told Barley.
The man nodded and indicated for An Shaohua to proceed.
Yue Xianzi had an ugly expression. “What about me?”
Barley apologetically answered, “Please wait, Yue Xianzi. Representative Lu will meet you both one on one.”
Yue Xianzi snorted and unhappily stood to the side.
An Shaohua was aware that Yue Xianzi had some old grievances with Lu Yin, and that Lu Yin had given her a hard time at Shenwu Continent’s space station. An Shaohua then smiled and paid no attention to the girl as he entered Lu Yin’s courtyard.
His motive in coming here was simple: he intended to worm his way into Lu Yin’s inner circle. If Lu Yin could truly compete for a position as one of the Ten Arbiters in the future, then An Shaohua would have a ladder to climb higher on. After all, he was about the same age as Lu Yin, and the current Ten Arbiters were much older than the two of them. They would need to abdicate some day, and as long as no accident befell Lu Yin, he would be able to one day compete for such a position as well.
Watermoon Villa did not want to fall behind.
Lu Yin was not overly thrilled to see An Shaohua because Watermoon Villa had not given him any money. Still, the actions that they had taken were pretty decent.
“Brother An, I haven’t seen you for a few months. How are you doing?” Lu Yin invited An Shaohua to sit down and poured him a glass of water.
An Shaohua sighed and then courteously replied, “It’s been just a few months, but I never imagined that Brother Lu would become the champion of the Tournament of the Strongest and also become an acting councilor of the Outerverse Youth Council. Your accomplishments are astounding.”
Lu Yin laughed. “Forget about the position of acting councilor, as it’s already been taken away, haha.”
An Shaohua smiled in response. “Still, with Brother Lu’s position on the Council of Astral Academy, losing the other position can’t have been too bad. Even in the Outerverse’s East San Dios, Brother Lu’s status should be in the top five.”
Lu Yin sipped some tea. “Brother An, I’m curious. How did you pass the trial back then? Your particle-sized camera was also ruined.”
“I’m not like Brother Lu who dared to invite the Ten Arbiters to judge your results. I requested a space-exploring powerhouse to appraise me and also delivered some reports. That allowed me to pass the trial.”
Lu Yin understood, as An Shaohua was from a great power after all. As long as a trial taker survived through the Shenwu Continent, there would be some way for them to pass the trial. The information that he had reported might have already been discovered before but not been revealed in order to give these disciples a chance to pass the most recent trial.
These were the benefits of having a background, as everything would be prepared for their members.
Over the next two hours, Lu Yin and An Shaohua chatted about many things, and Lu Yin even came to a better understanding of the situation concerning Watermoon Villa as well as the overall situation of the Spirit Seal Flowzone. What Lu Yin was most concerned about were the peak powers like the Myriad Swords Peak rather than the Souldream Tribe.
The Souldream Tribe was filled with beauties, and their members intermarried with countless other powers. The tribe’s influence was not small, but Lu Yin was also not unfamiliar with it; Xi Yue was from the Souldream Tribe. Their initial misunderstanding had somewhat intertwined the two’s destiny, but the two of them had not spoken in a long time, so Lu Yin did not know if that washboard had undergone any changes. Lu Yin privately decided to find another time to contact him.
“Brother Lu, I’ll withdraw first, but feel free to let me know if there’s anything that you need.” An Shaohua spoke respectfully since he recognized his own position. He was well aware that their statuses were completely different.
