Lu Yin looked at Zi Rong and then at Cai Jianqiang. "You two know each other?"
Cai Jianqiang nodded. "I've met him a few times when I was young, and we can be considered to have gotten to know each other through fighting."
Zi Rong grumbled, "That bastard beat our generation into submission. Even the Ten Arbiters back then — no, the Ten Arbiters didn't exist back then. Even the Youth Council members weren't his match. I was just unlucky, as I was a member of the Outerverse Youth Council, and I was beaten up by him."
"You're a member of your generation's Youth Council?"
"He's a member of the Outerverse Youth Council," Zi Rong corrected.
"Do you know Kong Shi?" Lu Yin asked.
Zi Rong replied, "I've heard of it, but I'm one generation older than Kong Shi. I'm from the same generation as Cai Jianqiang, and Kong Shi is from the younger generation."
"Then why is her power level higher than yours?"
Zi Rong's mouth twitched, and he looked away. This guy didn't know how to chat.
Cai Jianqiang laughed. "Kong Shi is a member of the previous generation's Outerverse Youth Council, and Lu Yin is just a member of the previous generation's Outerverse Youth Council. It's just like the difference between Wendy Yushan and the Ten Arbiters. Although it's not that exaggerated, there's still a difference. However, the difference is only in terms of power level. If they really fought, Kong Shi might not be his match."
Zi Rong rolled his eyes. "Don't talk about the difference in status. Our generation of Youth Council members were all about the same level of strength, unlike now. Any one of the Ten Arbiters can sweep away the previous generations of Youth Council members. Someone like me doesn't even have the qualifications to make one of the Ten Arbiters act."
"Yes, the times have changed. Even I can't deal with those monsters from the Ten Arbiters," Cai Jianqiang sighed.
Lu Yin looked at Cai Jianqiang curiously. "Come to think of it, I've never seen you use your full strength before. You're synonymous with invincibility in this generation."
Cai Jianqiang waved his hand. "I'm about the same as this guy, and there's not much of a difference between us. Don't listen to others' nonsense. Compared to cultivation, I'm more interested in lockbreaking."
Zi Rong snorted. "Alliance Master Lu, don't be fooled by this guy. His true strength is enough to scare a bunch of people to death. It's not like he hasn't beaten up an Enlighter before."
"Don't spout nonsense." Cai Jianqiang glared at Zi Rong.
Lu Yin sighed in amazement. Lu Yin had actually beaten up an Enlighter, which meant that Lu Yin hadn't relied on any external objects. If that was already amazing, then how strong would Lu Yin be once he broke through to the Enlighter realm?
Now that he thought about it, this person might be similar to the Ten Arbiters, and he might even be a benchmark. If he could fight against Cai Jianqiang, then Lu Yin's strength might be close to the Ten Arbiters'. When he thought about this, Lu Yin grew excited.
Lu Yin had always been uncertain about the Ten Arbiters' strength. During the chaotic battle in the Daosource Sect's ruins, Lu Yin had either been beaten up or rescued by the Ten Arbiters, and he hadn't been able to retaliate against Nightking Zhenwu at all. Now that there was a benchmark in front of him, Lu Yin would look for this benchmark to verify his strength once he grew stronger.
Cai Jianqiang took out three jars of wine from his cosmic ring, which were actually jars. "It's been a long time since I've drunk to my heart's content. Cheers."
"This is a cup?" Zi Rong's eyes widened.
Cai Jianqiang happily drank a mouthful and wiped the corner of his mouth. "Don't be ignorant. This is the best wine I've obtained from a planet that had just broken free from slavery. You can't buy it anywhere else."
Lu Yin took a sip, feeling the spiciness choking his throat. It was very refreshing, and there was a soft sweetness to it. It felt like a fire was burning in his stomach, but it quickly cooled down. It was a very contradictory feeling, but it was very comfortable. "Good wine."
"You know your stuff." Cai Jianqiang admired Lu Yin more and more. He would not serve wine to anyone he did not recognize.
Zi Rong took a sip. "Not bad, not bad. Where did you get it?"
Cai Jianqiang replied, "I'm not telling you."
"Why not?"
"You're from the Amethyst Trading Company. If I tell you, this wine will be very common."
"Isn't that even better?
You'll be able to drink it more often. "
"Things are precious when they're rare."
"That has nothing to do with food or drink. He's talking about things."
"It's the same principle."
"What a blockhead. He's obviously talented in cultivation, but he likes to lockbreak. He hasn't achieved anything in his entire life."
"It doesn't matter."
…
Lu Yin drank another mouthful of wine and watched the two bicker. He actually felt a sense of tranquility. He had only met these two by chance, but they got along very well.
"Hey, tell me. I don't interfere with trading companies, you know that." Zi Rong looked at Cai Jianqiang expectantly.
Cai Jianqiang glanced at him. "I remember that you don't like to drink. Why are you asking for the source so enthusiastically? Why aren't you telling the trading company?"
Zi Rong grinned and took a big gulp.
Lu Yin put down the jug. "I rarely drink. It feels good."
Cai Jianqiang smiled. "Whenever I'm having trouble lockbreaking, I'll drink a little. Getting drunk will solve a thousand worries. I don't want to use star energy to resolve them."
Lu Yin looked at Cai Jianqiang. "Tell me the truth. Why are you so obsessed with lockbreaking?"
Cai Jianqiang looked forward to it. "It's a dream."
"Dream my ass. You just don't want to lose to your brother."
Cai Jianqiang lowered his voice. "That was the case at first, but when I succeeded in lockbreaking for the first time and saw something that had been sealed away by the universe for countless years, I felt like I was fighting with the universe for a treasure. Those who don't lockbreak will never understand this feeling." He then looked at Lu Yin with bright eyes. "I really wish that I had your lockbreaking talent, but … sigh."
This person really did like lockbreaking. Lu Yin didn't know how to comfort him. Lockbreaking talent?
Did he have it?
He didn't know. He relied on his Sirius Art, his eyes, and his control of star energy. Cai Jianqiang wasn't bad at all, but he just couldn't lockbreak well. Who could he blame?
What a sin!
Lu Yin looked at Zi Rong. "Why don't you want to interfere with the company's matters?"
Zi Rong took a sip of wine. "It's too annoying. How can it compare to the joy of cultivation?"
Cai Jianqiang explained, "He's just afraid of being annoyed, so he doesn't practice any other techniques. He just focuses on the Thousand Army Slash. It's just one slash, but he's been training it for dozens of years."
Lu Yin was stunned. "It's not because of his willpower?"
"It's because he's lazy," Cai Jianqiang mocked mercilessly.
Zi Rong retorted, "Don't spout nonsense. He definitely has willpower. Otherwise, how could he have persisted for dozens of years?"
Lu Yin was speechless. He felt like his worldview had been flipped upside down. Everything was inevitable and had a cause and effect. Zi Rong had been training the Thousand Army Slash for dozens of years, and even if he was lazy, he still had great willpower. It was just that this motivation was annoying. Lu Yin had almost worshipped Zi Rong's willpower, and his blood had turned cold.
There were some things that couldn't be said out loud, as they weren't true at all. One could only imagine.
"Alliance Leader Lu, I know why you're here, but I'll tell you clearly that I can't represent the Amethyst Company. I can't help you with your matters with Aegis," Zi Rong said.
Lu Yin wasn't surprised, as he knew that this was inevitable the moment he saw the Thousand Army Slash. "It's fine. Your sister has helped me quite a bit."
Zi Rong suddenly approached Lu Yin and glared at him. "Don't even think about my sister. She's going to marry a scholar in the future."
Lu Yin blinked. "I'm a scholar."
"Just because you can read doesn't mean you're a scholar," Zi Rong said in a low voice.
Lu Yin didn't know how to respond. Was he supposed to compose a poem on the spot?
It didn't take long for the three of them to finish all three jugs of wine. None of them used star energy to dispel the effects of the alcohol, and it was obvious that they were drunk.
Cai Jianqiang hugged a jug of wine as he tried to lockbreak, crying and complaining about something.
Zi Rong slashed out again and again with his blade. Lu Yin didn't know if he was drunk or sleepwalking.
Lu Yin collapsed to the ground and tried to recall the past, but he couldn't remember anything that had happened nine years ago. He only had memories of the past nine years. He had spent a year with Big Sis and the others, and he had lived peacefully on Earth for more than a year. In addition, he had cultivated for nearly seven years. These were the only memories he had.
He was like a rootless duckweed, and Earth could barely be considered his root.
The next day, in King Zishan's palace, Lu Yin rubbed his head. He had drunk too much yesterday, but fortunately, he knew how to return.
Star energy circulated around his body, clearing his mind and making him feel much more comfortable.
He didn't know how those two were doing, but one was frantically lockbreaking while the other was crazily swinging his blade. They wouldn't randomly start fighting, right? Fortunately, he had left first.
When he reached the courtyard, Gavin requested an audience with an anxious and excited expression.
"Good news, Your Highness. Goddess Luo has come to Zenyu Star. Would you like to meet her?" Gavin asked excitedly with a strange look in his eyes.
Lu Yin was puzzled. "Goddess Luo?
Who? "
Gavin was shocked. "You don't know Goddess Luo?
She's the most popular celebrity in the Outerverse, the Jade Goddess. She's famous throughout half of the Outerverse. Haven't you heard of her? "
Lu Yin shook his head. "What does a celebrity have to do with me?"
Gavin lowered his voice. "Goddess Luo wishes to meet a friend on Zenyu Star. If Your Highness is interested, I can invite her to perform a private dance for Your Highness. With Your Highness' current status in the Outerverse, I believe that Goddess Luo will not refuse."
Lu Yin looked at Gavin in astonishment. There was something wrong with the old man's expression. Was he trying to force Lu Yin to take advantage of him? Lu Yin laughed. "Is she that beautiful?
Even Sir Gavin can't control himself? "
Gavin smiled. "You must be joking, Your Highness. I don't have the fortune to see Goddess Luo's dance alone. Right …" He then activated his gadget and a girl appeared on the screen. "Please take a look, Your Highness. This is Goddess Luo, the Jade Goddess chosen by the Amethyst Trading Company."
Lu Yin looked over and was astonished. He was truly stunned by her beauty.
The girl on the screen looked to be in her twenties. Her blonde hair reached her waist, and she was gentle but not dazzling. Her appearance was refined and pure, and she had an indescribable charm. She had a faint smile on her face that made her seem like an angel. Even Lu Yin, who had seen beauties like Ming Yan, Bai Xue, and Madam Nalan, felt that Goddess Luo's beauty was rare. She was different from any other beauty he had seen before.
This girl had an intoxicating appearance and a healing smile.
Her smile seemed to be able to illuminate even the darkest corners.
Gavin looked at Lu Yin carefully and saw that his eyes were bright. He whispered, "Your Highness, would you like to meet her alone?"
Lu Yin looked away. "Can I meet her alone?"
Gavin replied, "Of course not, but with Your Highness's status, I can invite her." He then opened up the other pictures of Goddess Luo.
Lu Yin had only been looking at her appearance and had been stunned by her beauty. He hadn't paid much attention to her figure, but it had to be said that all beauties had good figures. This Goddess Luo was no different. Her pure appearance did not match her chest. Her breasts were huge.
