Chapter 67

Hearing about Lu Yin's talent and its use, Mira's eyes sparkled, and she smiled, "Very ordinary. Do you need me to recommend you to join the Great Yu Empire Youth Council? Or, if you agree to my conditions and complete them, I will directly recommend you to join the Outer Universe Youth Council."

"Will you be my recommender if I agree to your conditions?" Lu Yin asked.

Mira said lazily, "That's right, I will be your recommender, on the condition that you can not only join the Tenth Academy of the Starry Sky but also do something that I can be proud of, something that I, the Crimson Lotus Demon Bow, can be proud of." After saying this, Mira smiled at Lu Yin again, gave him a string of numbers, and left.

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, Crimson Lotus Demon Bow?

"By the way, your method of protecting that native planet was correct. In the future, it might give birth to talents like Zhang Dingtian and Liu Shaoge. Cherish it," Mira said before leaving.

Lu Yin was startled. He understood Zhang Dingtian, but why did she mention Liu Shaoge specifically?

Regarding Liu Shaoge, Lu Yin only regretted not being able to kill him. Could it be that Mira discovered something?

Lu Yin immediately left and headed to the surveillance room.

The surveillance room was not a place just anyone could enter, but Lu Yin had free access. His status on the Perseverance made him second only to Lulu Mibis and Mira, even exceeding Xikemaluo in rank.

"Retrieve all footage from the battle in Tianzhu," Lu Yin ordered without hesitation.

The people in the surveillance room were taken aback for a moment, then followed his command.

At the same time, Xikemaluo, Toleona, and Shaloshu received messages that Lu Yin had appeared in the surveillance room.

Xikemaluo was surprised but did not interfere, as he had already instructed that as long as Lu Yin did not overstep, he could do anything he wanted.

Carefully watching the footage, Lu Yin focused on Liu Shaoge. Gradually, his gaze shifted from surprise to wariness.

The screen was showing the moment when he used the Heavenly Beast Claw to repel Liu Shaoge, which should have been a routine scene. However, if you looked at the moment before the attack, you would notice Liu Shaoge's intentions. Liu Shaoge was deliberately injured by Lu Yin. With his strength, he could have fought back, but he did not, and it seemed he was intentionally hurt. Why?

Liu Shaoge had joined Qingyu, and Qingyu was injured in the decisive battle. If Liu Shaoge had not been hurt at all, how would Qingyu view him? Even if he was called foolish, he had to show his loyalty, even if it meant enduring a potentially fatal blow from Lu Yin. This was Liu Shaoge.

Lu Yin's gaze was filled with wariness. This person was ruthless to others and even more ruthless to himself. This was a formidable opponent.

No wonder Mira praised Liu Shaoge. This person was meticulous, able to endure what others could not, neither standing out nor being content with obscurity. Every move he made was just right, and he knew when to get hurt. His mental fortitude far exceeded that of Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue.

Lu Yin had a feeling that such a person would never be weak wherever he went. In the future, they would surely have a confrontation.

"Fine, we'll see," Lu Yin muttered to himself.

The people in the surveillance room occasionally stole glances at Lu Yin. During the trial, when they saw him capture so many students, even daring to capture Las and Jenny O'Nara, they thought he was doomed. They never expected him to become an imperial prince. This experience was too incredible, and they were always curious about Lu Yin.

"Show me the surveillance footage from various areas of the Perseverance," Lu Yin said calmly.

A slightly older officer hesitated, "The surveillance footage from various areas of the Perseverance can only be viewed with the captain's approval."

Lu Yin repeated, "Don't make me say it again. I order you to do so in my capacity as the Purple Mountain Prince."

The officer hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Play."

Immediately, more screens appeared around them, the scenes changing continuously.

Lu Yin smiled faintly. He was not interested in the surveillance footage; he just wanted to test the power of the Purple Mountain Prince. It seemed that the title of Purple Mountain Prince was even more useful than he had imagined.

Hmm? Just as Lu Yin was about to leave, Xu San's figure appeared on the screen, and he was being beaten.

Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and he turned and left.

On the second floor of the living quarters, several students tightly held Xu San. "You are just a native. Don't think that just because you boarded the Perseverance, you can be equal to us. Natives are always garbage, understand?" Wei Luo shouted, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

Xu San's face was bruised, but he did not speak.

Wei Luo snorted, "Let's go."

Xu San coughed, his head lowered, not daring to resist.

Students passed by from time to time, giving him a mocking glance but not paying much attention.

It was common for people from trial planets who joined the empire to encounter such incidents. Wei Luo was not being too excessive, and out of respect for Lu Yin, he did not go too far. He just could not stand the sight of Xu San and decided to beat him up.

Suddenly, a figure blocked their path.

Wei Luo looked up and saw Zhang Dingtian.

"Get out of the way," Wei Luo growled.

Zhang Dingtian drew his long sword and pointed it at Wei Luo, "Apologize."

Wei Luo's expression changed, then he laughed, "Country bumpkin, do you know where you are? Using weapons here, you're asking for death."

As he spoke, a group of soldiers appeared and surrounded Zhang Dingtian, "Put down your weapon immediately. Fighting is prohibited on the ship."

Zhang Dingtian said coldly, "They just attacked him, why didn't you stop them?"

"Say it again, put down your weapon immediately," the soldiers shouted.

Xu San quickly ran to Zhang Dingtian's side, "I'm fine, let them go."

Zhang Dingtian narrowed his eyes and gripped his sword even tighter.

More and more students gathered to watch, many of them excited. They were all unfortunate souls captured from Earth, and they were happy to see an Earthling suffer.

At this moment, Xia Luo appeared, suddenly moving through the crowd and appearing in front of Wei Luo. He lifted his leg and kneed Wei Luo in the stomach. Wei Luo let out a painful cry, gagged, and curled up in pain.

This scene surprised everyone, including Zhang Dingtian.

Xia Luo turned and smiled at Zhang Dingtian, "How about that?"

Zhang Dingtian sheathed his sword, "Thank you."

Xia Luo looked at the soldiers, "I acted within reasonable limits. You can leave now."

The soldiers gave Xia Luo a deep look, then warned Zhang Dingtian with a glare before leaving.

Wei Luo coughed continuously, looked up angrily at Xia Luo, but under Xia Luo's icy gaze, he had to lower his head. "Let's go," he said, then left with a few students.

Zhang Dingtian looked at Xia Luo again, said nothing more, and left.

Only after they left did Lu Yin arrive.

"Boss, he helped us," Xu San said to Lu Yin.

Lu Yin nodded, "Thank you, Brother Xia."

Xia Luo said warmly, "No need to thank me. I just didn't like those people. I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Lu Yin thanked him again and watched Xia Luo leave.

After Xia Luo left, Lu Yin looked at Xu San, "Why did they pick on you?"

Xu San shook his head, "I don't know. I just came out to find something to eat, and those people came, saying they didn't like the sight of me."

Lu Yin's eyes flashed. Didn't like the sight of him? Wei Luo could not have been unaware that Xu San was his person, yet he still dared to act. What did this mean? A student would never dare to provoke him, the Purple Mountain Prince. So, did it mean that some conflicts within the Great Yu Empire had already begun, and they were eager to deal with him?

Lu Yin was certain that every move he made would be recorded and sent back to the capital planet. Any small matter would be exaggerated by certain people, involving his character, mental fortitude, and morality. These would all be used as ammunition against him in the future.

Wei Luo was the first to provoke him. There would be a second, a third, and so on, until those people felt they had done enough.

"I heard something interesting happened just now, but I missed it," Yin said, appearing out of nowhere with a smile.

Lu Yin told Xu San to go back and turned to Yin, "What do you want to see?"

Yin smiled, "I want to see the conflicted expression of someone who is torn between taking action and being criticized or enduring repeated provocations. It's quite amusing."

"What kind of person do you think I am?" Lu Yin asked calmly.

"I don't know," Yin replied casually.

Lu Yin did not have time to argue with him. He needed to think about what the title of Purple Mountain Prince meant in the Great Yu Empire and do some research.

"Want to chat? I know a lot about the Purple Mountain clan, which might be helpful to you," Yin smiled at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin turned around, "What do you know?"

Yin shrugged, "Not much, just some old news from a few hundred years ago, like the old allies of the Purple Mountain clan, the unique cuisine of the Purple Mountain clan, the combat techniques of the Purple Mountain clan, and the marriage alliance promise between the Purple Mountain clan and the Universe Mountain clan, and so on."

Marriage alliance? Lu Yin seemed to have heard something significant, "What marriage alliance? Explain clearly."
