Chapter 367: Setting Up (1/2)
Lu Yin took a deep breath and looked at Puyu gravely.
Puyu smirked. He wasn’t scared of Lu Yin, and besides, the Outerverse Youth Council couldn’t be swayed by a single person’s power level. There were supposed to be five councilors in East San Dios, and a plan would only be approved if three councilors agreed to it. There were only three people here at present, so even if Lu Yin joined forces with Liu Shaoge, he wouldn’t be able to do anything here. It wouldn’t matter even if Wendy Yushan showed up, as the two of them shared the status of a single councilor.
“Representative Lu, if there’s nothing else, then I’ll take my leave.” Puyu smiled.
Lu Yin answered, “Please wait a moment, Councilor Puyu.” He then spread out his map of the
Outerverse and gave Puyu a sincere look. “I was too inconsiderate when handling the matter of Bushtree Planet, and I hope that Councilor Puyu won’t blame me for it.”
Puyu smiled. “Oh, Representative Lu, are you going to return Bushtree Planet to Darkstar Gorge as a training ground?”
Lu Yin shook his head. “Councilor Puyu, I have already given my order, so I can’t take it back.”
Puyu’s gaze turned cold. “If that’s the case, then there’s no point in discussing this any further.”
Lu Yin anxiously continued. “However, I can give Councilor Puyu another training ground that’s even better than Bushtree Planet.”
Puyu turned around and looked at Lu Yin curiously. “I’m interested to hear more about your proposal.”
Lu Yin pointed to a corner of the map. “Shuta Planet in the Woori Weave”
Puyu’s eyes gleamed; he had heard about Shuta Planet before. The planet produced strange metal creatures and was even a source of polarium. It truly was a great training ground as one could not only increase their power during a trial, but also gain some riches. “Representative Lu, Shuta Planet belongs to the Nine Allied Nations of the Darkmist Weave, correct?
Lu Yin answered, “Of course not. This territory originally belongs to the Woori Weave—it’s just that this planet has been taken over by the Nine Allied Nations. However, it still belongs to the Woori Weave.”
Puyu frowned. He was very attracted to this plan, but he was also worried since he wasn’t in charge of the Darkmist Weave.
“Councilor Puyu, the Council of the Ten Arbiters wasn’t established to fight for territory. We are only here to oversee the younger generation in name, so that’s the only thing we need. Shuta Planet still officially belongs to the Woori Weave, and since I’m the person overseeing the Woori Weave, I have the right to assign it to Darkstar Gorge as a training ground,” Lu Yin spoke confidently.
As for Lu Yin, he could just pass this problem to Liu Shaoge.
“Alright, I’ll accept Representative Lu’s offer,” Puyu graciously replied.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank you, Councilor Puyu. What about my suggestion during the meeting?”
Puyu beamed. “That’s no problem at all! I’ll just report it to the Ten Arbiters. However, the details will still be decided upon by the Ten Arbiters, and it’s even impossible for it to be carried out now, so Representative Lu will have to be prepared for such a possibility.”
Lu Yin didn’t actually care about that suggestion. His main goal all along had been for Puyu to accept Shuta Planet and for Darkstar Gorge to start fighting against the Nine Allied Nations’ forces. This would allow Lu Yin to remove some of the burden that was plaguing the Shenwu Continent, and although such a change wouldn’t make a huge difference, it was still better than nothing.
“By the way, Representative Lu, do you remember that a person attacked Darkstar Gorge?” Puyu suddenly asked, staring at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked surprised. “The attack on Darkstar Gorge? Councilor Puyu isn’t suspicious of me, are you?”
Puyu chuckled. “Of course not. It’s just that Representative Lu is very worldly, and I just wanted to ask.”
Lu Yin sighed. “Councilor Puyu, I’m merely a student. How could I know someone so powerful? Haha.”
“Haha, then forget about it. Goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
Lu Yin’s smile faded away as he watched Puyu leave the tower. He hoped that Darkstar Gorge would attack the Nine Allied Nations. Since the Nine Allied Nations definitely wouldn’t be able to hold out against Darkstar Gorge, he was hoping that Mafioso Planet and Battle Street would be embroiled in the brewing war.
Outside the tower, Liu Shaoge had a strange gaze as he watched Puyu happily walk away. He had purposefully opposed Lu Yin after receiving Lu Yin’s instructions to do so, all in order to help Lu Yin handle Puyu, but what was he looking to achieve through all these maneuvers? Lin Shaoge couldn’t understand what Lu Yin was thinking. He turned around to look at the tower and coincidentally met Lu Yin’s gaze. The two youths glanced at each other for a moment, and then, both turned to look at Puyu; he wouldn’t stay happy for long.
Shuta Planet was extremely important to Puyu since it could help salvage his reputation with Darkstar Gorge. That same night, Darkstar Gorge immediately contacted the Nine Allied Nations, informing them that Shuta Planet had become Darkstar Gorge’s designated training ground.
