Chapter 353: What Do You Think? (1/2)
The mental resilience that these people had cultivated to achieve their desires was the result of their education, and when that was combined with a personality like An Shaohua’s, it made it that much easier for him to achieve success. Lu Yin admired An Shaohua and would not mind giving him a hand in the future.
However, there was one thing about them that was quite annoying. These types of people tended to overthink things. Lu Yin had made it very clear that he needed money, but An Shaohua had assumed that Lu Yin was actually referring to the Great Yu Empire’s economy. What a pain.
Soon enough, Yue Xianzi walked in.
Lu Yin wasn’t as polite to her. The Frostmoon Sect and Watermoon Villa’s strength were at similar levels, but the Frostmoon Sect was located in the Daynight Flowzone. Lu Yin was no fool and did not expect the sect to abandon the Daynight Family for his sake. Although Yue Xianzi was here to show her goodwill, it would be impossible to hope she would actually help him.
“Long time no see, Yue Xianzi. Have you been well?” Lu Yin asked casually.
Yue Xianzi pursed her lips. “Congratulations, Lu Yin.”
“For what?” Lu Yin was baffled.
Yue Xianzi forced out a smile. “Congratulations on entering the Outerverse Youth Council.”
Lu Yin quickly raised his hand to stop her. “Are you trying to tease me? I don’t actually have any real power, and I’m just helping Councilor Wendy handle some matters. I’ll return her seat to her as soon as she’s back.”
Yue Xianzi sat down in front of Lu Yin and looked at him with a pair of beautiful eyes. “There’s something that I’m quite curious about. Would you answer a question of mine?”
Lu Yin nodded. “Sure.”
Yue Xianzi narrowed her eyes. “Bei Qing acted very strangely back in the Shenwu Continent. Do you happen to know why?”
Lu Yin nearly spat out his tea and coughed. “That’s your business. Why would I know anything about that?.”
Lu Yin set his cup of tea down with a slightly embarrassed look. “I really don’t know.
“By the way, Yue Xianzi, I remember that you once mentioned that you had twin sisters. Why didn’t you bring them here with you?”
Yue Xianzi’s eyes flashed. She had only understood what had happened with Bei Qing after returning to the Astral Combat Academy. Bei Qing had acted very strangely and said some very odd things. It was impossible for his odd behavior to have nothing to do with Lu Yin. This person must have done something. “Are you talking about Can Xue and Can Mei? Have you taken a fancy to them, Lu Yin? If so, I can have them warm your bed.”
Lu Yin was struck speechless.
“Ooh, warming your bed! Quickly agree, Seventh Bro! It’s a pair of twins who are cold on the outside but warm on the inside!” the Ghost Monkey shouted in glee.
Lu Yin was developing a headache from how loud the monkey was yelling and immediately blocked it off. He quickly rejected Yue Xianzi’s offer and had some people see her out.
From that point on, Yue Xianzi and An Shaohua were officially a part of San Dios, and they began managing certain matters of the younger generation under Wendy Yushan’s jurisdiction on her behalf.
Meanwhile, Lu Yin discovered that Wendy Yushan was about to arrive, which meant that he didn’t have much time left at San Dios.
The main reason why he had wanted to come to San Dios in the first place was Jenny Auna and Yan Feng’s wedding, and he had also wanted to find out why his family had told him to try to join the Outerverse Youth Council. And now, he had successfully interfered with the wedding, dealt with Firesmelt Planet, and his family had returned to the Pirate King’s regiment and no longer seemed to need him to do anything. In other words, he was now free.
Since Wendy Yushan was on her way over to San Dios, the Great Yu Empire would need someone leading it. Lu Yin thought things over and decided that he should return to the Great Yu Empire to unify the Frostwave Weave.
Having control over an entire Weave would be quite an impressive feat.
More importantly, when the Great Yu Empire managed to save up some money, he’d be able to improve his strength. He would reach the Explorer realm soon, and then, he would be able to travel through space without a spacecraft. This was what Lu Yin wanted the most right now: money. What he lacked the most was also money.
Sometimes, things came the moment one thought about them. Just as Lu Yin was puzzling over how he could earn more money, the Lockbreaker Society announced that an internal trading event would soon be held on the Violent Ape Planet.
The Violent Ape Planet was located in the Vastdearth Weave, and it was a very young planet that had no indigenous civilizations. The planet contained nothing but countless species devoid of sapience. The rulers of these mindless creatures were the Violent Apes, which looked like apes that reached a height of a hundred meters. They were extremely violent and very strong. Each Violent Ape had a power level that matched a Limiteer’s, and some of the stronger apes even had power levels that exceeded ten thousand.
The foremost organization of the Vastdearth Weave, the Vastdearth Sect, had once wanted to capture the Violent Apes and raise them as frontline warriors for their wars, but their endeavors ultimately failed. The creatures were far too violent and could not be tamed.
Half a month ago, a large spacecraft had accidentally landed on Violent Ape Planet, and the passengers had discovered a tree-shaped sourcebox that gave off a mysterious bloodlust. Even Explorers were unable to approach the strange item. Word of this strange phenomena then spread throughout the universe until it gained the attention of the Lockbreaker Society, which immediately sent a few Lockbreakers to head towards the planet with the intent of unlocking the strange sourcebox.
This was not an uncommon occurrence. Sourceboxes with no owners would frequently attract a number of Lockbreakers. The gatherings often turned into a trade event, and anyone who was capable of unlocking the sourcebox would be able to sell the recovered item for an astronomical price.
The Vastdearth Weave wasn’t very far from San Dios, so Lu Yin did not hesitate to immediately set out. He was in dire need of money, and if he was able to get more, he would surely be able to beat up Ye Xingchen and the other top Limiteers without a problem.
Lu Yin had planned on traveling alone, but to his surprise, Yue Xianzi followed him. One after the other, two personal spacecraft made their way towards the Vastdearth Weave.
He switched his communication device on and asked her, “Why are you following me, Yue Xianzi?”
“Lockbreaking seems very interesting, so I’d like to learn more from you,” she answered.
