Bazeer glanced at the man, "You're right. What do you think we should do?"
"Seal the news and think of a way to get rid of that native," the man suggested.
Bazeer tossed the towel aside and approached the man, "Well said. What else?"
"Councilor Wendy doesn't care about a native's life. Not only do we have to kill him, but we also have to make it look like an accident that will make his name go down in history. We have to make Councilor Wendy hate her hometown," the man continued.
Bazeer walked in front of the man and placed a hand on his shoulder, "You're right, but have you thought about how nothing can escape Councilor Wendy's eyes?
If she thinks that Lord Puyu ordered us to do this, how will Lord Puyu show his face? "
The man paled and tried to explain himself, but it was too late. Bazeer exerted more force, and the man who had been standing still was instantly reduced to a puddle of blood that dyed the ground red. The stench of blood filled the air.
Everyone grew even more terrified and lowered their heads, not daring to move.
At that moment, footsteps sounded as a young man slowly walked over. He was thin and pale, "Don't be angry, Brother Bazeer. That native is a Sentinel, and so am I. Let me help you out. Deaths are common in sparring, and I'm sure no one will blame me."
Bazeer wiped his hands, "Then I'll leave it to you, Ghostfire."
A few days later, Lu Yin was studying the star chart in King Zishan's palace when Bronsen transmitted, "Your Highness, Captain Peach of the Sixth Squadron of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons is here to visit."
Lu Yin looked up in surprise, Peach?
Why is she here?
He didn't think he had anything to do with this loli, but she had glared at him the first time he had come to the capital. She wasn't here for revenge, was she?
However, he didn't have time to think about it. As soon as he arrived at the front hall, he saw a little loli walking around with an extremely beautiful woman.
"Oh, Lu Yin, you're here!" Peach was pleasantly surprised and instantly appeared in front of him, blinking her large eyes as she sized him up.
Lu Yin stepped forward, "Hello, Captain Peach."
She quickly retreated, "Don't come close."
Lu Yin was puzzled and looked at himself, "What's wrong?"
Bai Xue explained, "Captain doesn't like to stand with people who are taller than her."
Lu Yin stared blankly at Peach. The little girl was only 1.2 meters tall, and it would be difficult to find someone shorter than her. No wonder Bai Xue was several meters away from her.
"King Zishan's residence is so big and tall. I like it," Peach said as she looked around.
"You can stay here if you like."
"Really?" Peach was pleasantly surprised. She liked high places and enjoyed the feeling of looking down.
"Really. By the way, is there something you need from me, Captain Peach?"
Peach grunted in acknowledgment, but she turned to him and said solemnly, "I want to apologize to you."
"Apologize?
Why? "Lu Yin was puzzled.
Peach ruffled her hair. "I shouldn't have scared you in court. I'm sorry." She bowed solemnly as she apologized.
Lu Yin was startled and quickly dodged; this was the captain of the Sixth Squadron, a Cruiser who was ranked in the top twenty of the Great Yu Empire. Even Undying Yushan didn't need to bow before her, but now she was bowing to him. He couldn't accept it, but he couldn't avoid it. Several Peaches suddenly appeared around him and bowed in unison.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Were these clones?
No, it was speed. Extreme speed.
After apologizing, Peach giggled at Lu Yin and turned to leave.
When Bronsen had introduced Peach to Lu Yin, he had told him that she was someone who would correct her mistakes and wasn't scheming. Lu Yin hadn't believed it at the time, but he hadn't expected it to be true. The little girl didn't put on the airs of a captain at all.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Lu Yin hurriedly said, "Captain Peach, it's rare for you to come here. Have some tea before you leave."
She shook her head, "No, I have other matters to attend to."
Bai Xue nodded at Lu Yin and followed behind her.
Lu Yin took out a bag of snacks from his cosmic ring and waved it around, making a rumbling sound.
Peach paused and turned to look at the bag in his hand, her eyes burning with passion, "This … This is the third generation of Big Fatty's snacks from the Kaka Weave. There are only fifty thousand bags of Cryosaurus Crayfish Chips produced."
Lu Yin was astonished; he hadn't expected this bag of snacks to have such a great origin. He had stolen them from his die and had only wanted to see if he could attract Peach's attention, but he hadn't expected it to be so effective.
"I'm glad you like it," Lu Yin smiled and passed the bag to her.
She instantly appeared in front of him and looked at him with a burning gaze, "You … You're such a good person. Are you really willing to give it to me?
It's delicious. "
Lu Yin smiled, "Of course, but I only have one bag. It's not enough."
"It's enough, it's more than enough. I didn't even get a single bag back then. Thank you, Lu Yin, you're such a good person!" She spoke incoherently as if she had learned some peerless battle technique.
Lu Yin was speechless; how had someone like her become a captain?
She shouldn't be that old!
Not far away, Bai Xue stared at Lu Yin in astonishment. Although Peach wasn't scheming, she wasn't someone that just anyone could get close to. The less scheming a person was, the better they were at judging people and the more principled they were. Bai Xue had never seen Peach so enthusiastic in the past few days.
"Lu Yin, from now on, we're friends." Peach blinked her large, sparkling eyes at Lu Yin. She was very close to him at this point.
Lu Yin didn't know how to respond, so he could only say, "I'll give you any snacks I have in the future."
Peach's eyes lit up, "Thank you, but I can't take your things for free. Is there anything I can help you with?
Let me say this first: I can't beat Wendy, so don't think I'll help you kidnap someone. "
Lu Yin raised an eyebrow. How much did this girl know about him? She knew that he had kidnapped someone before, and she even knew so much about him. As expected, no one who could become a captain was an idiot. This loli had obviously done her research on him, and if he really treated her like a little girl, he would be in deep trouble.
"No need, you're a guest, so it's my duty to entertain you. Besides, didn't you say that we're friends? There's no need to be so calculative."
"That won't do, I don't like owing people." Peach hugged her snacks tightly and bit her index finger in thought. Her eyes lit up, "Right, is there a battle technique you want to learn?
I can teach you. "
Lu Yin was about to refuse when his heart skipped a beat, "That was a footwork battle technique, right? It was so fast."
Peach was pleased, "Of course, that's the footwork battle technique of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons, Flash Step."
"The Thirteen Imperial Squadrons' battle technique?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Peach explained, "The Thirteen Imperial Squadrons, Yu Academy, and the royal family all have their own battle techniques that His Majesty obtained from the Innerverse. Flash Step is a footwork battle technique unique to the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons. It can push one's speed to the limit, slow down space, and deceive space. Do you want to learn it?
I can teach you. "
"Isn't that a battle technique of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons?
I can learn it? "Lu Yin was surprised.
Peach nodded, "Because you're also a member of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons."
"Me?
The Thirteen Imperial Squadrons? "Lu Yin pointed at himself. When had he joined the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons?
Wasn't he in Yu Academy?
Peach smiled, "The Yushan and Zishan families are members of Yu Academy and the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons. You should be in the first squadron. I don't know the specifics, but you can definitely learn Flash Step. How about it?
Do you want to learn it? "
"I couldn't ask for more, as long as it doesn't go against my principles or make things difficult for you."
Peach giggled, "It won't make things difficult for you. Come, I'll teach you." She then grabbed Lu Yin's right arm and the two disappeared, reappearing a few meters away in an instant, "Carefully experience the mysteries of Flash Step."
Bronsen had left the room the moment Lu Yin started learning. He knew how to use Flash Step, but everyone had a different definition of it.
Bai Xue looked at Lu Yin enviously; she hadn't even learned it yet.
Peach was extremely fast. Flash Step was similar to the Roving Step, which required a lot of strength in the legs. However, Lu Yin had the Roving Step as a foundation and had experienced the Daynight clan's speed techniques, so it wasn't difficult for him to learn it.
Even so, it still took him two hours to just barely execute it.
"You really are a genius. Most people would need at least two months to learn Flash, and those who are qualified to learn it are the elites of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons, which means that they're the elites of the Great Yu Empire. You've left those people in the dust," Peach praised.
Lu Yin exhaled and smiled excitedly. He had the Sirius Palm, Daynight Punch, and Skybeast Claw for offense, and the Sirius Art for defense. What he lacked was extreme speed, and Flash Step filled that gap, "Thank you, Peach."
