Chapter 372: Lu Yin’s Privileges (1/2)

When the inspector heard Lu Yin’s voice, he turned towards him angrily. “Shut up and get lost already.”

Lu Yin grinned. “If you don’t come, then get the person next to you to come over.”

The inspector became furious and ran over to his monitor in just a few steps to stare at Lu Yin. He spoke quietly in a threatening manner. “Kid, don’t cause a commotion! That’s the Young Master, the son of an official. If you offend him, then you can forget about getting into the Innerverse for the rest of your life!”

Lu Yin shrugged. “Sorry, you’re too late. I already offended him a long time ago. Go and ask him if you don’t believe me.”

The inspector was astonished and turned around to look back at Gu Er.

At the same time, Gu Er looked over at the same time and noticed Lu Yin. When he finally realized who he was looking at, a brilliantly stupendous expression appeared on his face.

The inspector ran back over to Gu Er with a new smile plastered on his face. “Young Master, that kid says that he offended you in the past. Would you like me to seal his qualifications to enter the Innerverse?”

The tea that Gu Er was just sipping was spat back out when he heard the inspector’s question. He walked to Lu Yin and smiled rather reluctantly. “Se- Senior Lu, what are you doing here?”

Lu Yin casually replied, “Nothing much. I wish to enter the Innerverse, but that person says that I can’t.”

Gu Er turned back around to glare at the inspector. “Can’t enter? Senior Lu can’t enter the Innerverse? According to you? What gives you the guts to stop Senior Lu from entering the Innerverse?”

The inspector was stumped and immediately apologized. He knew that he had offended someone, and from how the situation was looking, this person’s status couldn’t be minor.

Lu Yin chuckled inwardly as he watched Gu Er. This fellow could be considered to be smart, and he knew that he could not offend someone like Lu Yin. Even though Gu Er was the son of Elder Gu De, he was still a student of Astral Combat Academy. He was scared that, if he offended Lu Yin, Lu Yin would then smother him within Astral Combat Academy, just like how he had dealt with the Daynight clan before.

Lu Yin’s guess was on point, as Gu Er was indeed afraid of Lu Yin.

The Ten Arbiters Council supervised the younger generation, and even someone like Gu Er, who was the son of someone with great power, did not dare to casually infringe upon such a matter.

“It’s fine, don’t blame him. I do have to ask, though… Gu Er, why do you keep calling me ‘senior?’ If I recall correctly, you should have entered Astral Combat Academy before me.”

Gu Er hurriedly smiled as he responded, “Senior Lu is the champion of the Tournament of the Strongest, and the most powerful person in the academy. Anyone who encounters Senior is beneath him, which is as it should be.”

At this point, those waiting in line to enter the Innerverse were all stunned. It was very normal for an inspector to scold and humiliate them however they wished, and no one had ever seen someone who could scare an inspector, let alone Gu Er. Someone with this level of status should not have waited in this line and should have entered the ark a long time ago.

“Gu Er, I heard that others rely on luck to enter the Innerverse. Is that true?” Lu Yin asked.

Gu Er’s face changed; was Lu Yin indicating that he was about to intervene in this matter of the Astral River Ark? This person was overestimating himself! After all, he was still just a student. But then, Gu Er suddenly thought of Lu Yin’s other positions, such as a member of the Council of Astral Academy and an acting Councilor of the Outerverse Youth Council. If Lu Yin made a fuss and levied the influence of those two positions, not even Gu Er’s father would be able to ignore him.

Lu Yin knew what Gu Er was thinking when he noticed that Gu Er did not immediately reply. “Relax, I’m not being that difficult. It’s none of my business how you manage things, but since things are based on luck, could you give me some face and allow all those in the same line as me to enter the Innerverse?”

Gu Er relaxed. “Of course, whatever Senior wants.”

Lu Yin nodded with a smile and replied with a casual, “Thanks.” He then continued along the track to enter the Astral River Ark.

Lu Yin just wanted to taste how much authority he could wield through a mere suggestion. It was a wonderful feeling, and he found it to be quite to his liking. If he could one day control an enormous vessel such as this one day, then all the better.

The Astral River Ark was exceptionally important to both the Innerverse and the Outerverse, so, generally speaking, no one was allowed to move about as they wished once they were onboard. In fact, people were not even allowed to exit their spacecraft. Lu Yin was an exception, as his status meant that nowhere was restricted to him, especially since he had two Honor Points. One privilege that his points allowed him was to freely roam about the ark.

However, he did not leave his vehicle since he was afraid of running into Elder Gu De. Lu Yin did not want the envoy to see the hatred in his eyes.

It was still too soon for him to meet Elder Gu De. That encounter had to wait until he had at least gained the power to take his revenge.

However, he felt strange about one point—why hadn’t his family’s Big Sis and the rest acted against Elder Gu De? Were they afraid of the Innerverse?

As for the other party, as soon as Lu Yin left, Gu Er contacted Elder Gu De and reported Lu Yin’s presence on the ark.

“You did well, it’s best not to provoke Lu Yin. Some newly-obtained information suggests that he might be linked to various Outerverse pirates, and he also has two Honor Points. Even my authority might not be able to deal with him,” Elder Gu De said.

Gu Er was unsatisfied. “Father, doesn’t that mean that he can rampage across the universe to his heart’s content?”
