After leaving Wei Rong to handle Nan Yuan's downfall, Lu Yin worked up the courage to contact Big Sister.

"Hic—what is it, Little Seven?" Big Sister drawled. Her tone sounded off, like she was drunk.

Lu Yin asked carefully, "Big Sister, um, have you decided whether you'll become a councilor?"

Big Sister let out another drunken burp. "Bullshit. Why the hell would I become a councilor? I wouldn't have any freedom at all. Who'd want to stay in a place like Boundary Mountain?"

Lu Yin was speechless. Wasn't she insulting Glory Hall? "Well, councilors aren't really bound by that many rules. You can go out. You don't have to stay at Boundary Mountain."

"Go out? You think I'm an idiot? What for? I finally got to be a councilor. Why would I leave instead of staying at Boundary Mountain, throwing my weight around and enjoying everyone's tributes? Idiot." Big Sister was completely plastered, rambling and letting her true thoughts slip.

"So, you're saying you agree to become a councilor?"

"Are you drunk? When did I ever agree?"

"Didn't you say you'd stay at Boundary Mountain, throw your weight around, and enjoy everyone's tributes? Don't worry, plenty of people will pay their respects to you."

"Don't try to tempt me. I don't like people paying me tribute. I like taking it by force. That's the proud tradition of the Leien Battle Group."

"Fine. You can still take what you want at Boundary Mountain. Just don't go too far."

"Are you stupid? Why not stay at Boundary Mountain and wait for people to pay tribute? Honestly, you're an idiot. I don't know how you've survived this long, let alone won a war. Ridiculous."

Lu Yin was so furious that he hung up on her. He was an idiot for trying to reason
