"Hehe, just luck."
Lin Yu smiled and said it plainly.
There was not the slightest trace of the exhaustion he had shown when he fought his way out of the Demon region.
"How could luck explain that?"
After hearing Lin Yu's words, Ye Xin Xia murmured softly.
She knew better than anyone what state Lin Yu had been in back then.
"Getting back to business!"
"Lin Yu, I'm carrying out a mission and need a Destruction Mage."
"If you can help me, I can recommend you to the Judgment Society."
After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Tang Yue told him why she had called this time.
"Hm? Is that so?"
"The Judgment Society?"
Lin Yu spoke in an unhurried tone.
"The Judgment Society has many treasures that money can't buy."
"Anyone joining midway needs an introduction from a senior adjudicator."
Tang Yue could hear that Lin Yu seemed rather unimpressed by the Judgment Society.
If it had been any other student, she would have started scolding them long ago! Did they know how much authority the Judgment Society held in Yan Xia?
In other countries, the Magic Association could oversee everything, but in Yan Xia Country, the Judgment Society was the institution that stood above all mages.
"I'll just be an External Member. As long as I'm not restricted, that'll do. Forget about fully integrating into the Judgment Society."
"I'll make a trip there."
In the end, Lin Yu accepted directly and gave his reply.
"Good. I'll wait for you in Hang City."
After saying that, Tang Yue hung up immediately.
"Brother Lin Yu, what are you planning to do alone with that beautiful teacher of yours?"
A voice suddenly sounded beside him, instantly pulling Lin Yu from his thoughts.
"She has a mission and needs my help."
"She promised to recommend me to the Judgment Society."
"But I reckon I'll only become the kind of External Member who isn't restricted."
Lin Yu looked at Ye Xin Xia and explained directly.
"You don't need to explain."
"It's a great thing if Brother Lin Yu can join the Judgment Society."
Ye Xin Xia had actually known already, since Lin Yu had not avoided her while making the call.
She had heard everything.
"For the time being, just stay home and cultivate your Healing Element, Xin Xia. I'm heading out for a while."
Lin Yu then looked at Xin Xia and said directly.
"Mm."
Xin Xia did not say much, only nodding obediently.
She knew that a mage like Lin Yu would not quietly remain in one place and cultivate in seclusion.
That would not temper one's state of mind at all.
Their combat strength would also be among the lowest of mages.
But Lin Yu would not feel at ease leaving Xin Xia here alone.
Thus, the next morning—
After finding the address of Azure Hunter's Lodge online, Lin Yu took a car straight there.
"Azure Hunter's Lodge."
Lin Yu muttered as he looked at the sign, then stepped inside.
Behind the counter sat a delicate young girl with twin ponytails, reading a book in her chair.
Even after hearing the door open, she did not look up.
There were simply too few people who could afford the commission fees of Azure Hunter's Lodge.
Most people entered, then left almost immediately.
"I'll pay five hundred thousand for you to protect someone for a while."
Upon hearing that, Ling Ling put down her book and looked curiously at Lin Yu.
"Give me the specifics. Who is it, and what level of protection do they need?"
Ling Ling looked at him and spoke directly.
She did not look down on him because he was dressed in cheap, mismatched clothes.
"I've provoked the Bai Family, and I need to leave Magic City for a while."
"I need you to protect my younger sister."
"A High-level Mage. Money isn't an issue, and I can pay more, but it has to be a woman."
Lin Yu spoke directly to the little girl.
Of course, he did not regard Ling Ling as an ordinary young girl. Her mind was sharper than that of most adults.
"You provoked someone from the Bai Family at such a young age?"
At that moment, an elderly man with a weathered face and white beard slowly came down from upstairs.
"I injured four Bai Family Disciples. Those guys were too useless."
Lin Yu merely spread his hands.
"Hahaha, if those old geezers from the Bai Family heard that, they'd probably get angry again."
Old Man Bao laughed, then carefully appraised Lin Yu before him.
"We'll take this commission. How many days do you need?"
Old Man Bao looked at Lin Yu and asked directly.
"Until I return from Hang City. Count it by the day."
Lin Yu answered directly, because he did not know exactly how long he would be gone.
"Oh, and there's another commission."
Lin Yu then looked at them and continued!
"Hm? Another one?"
Old Man Bao was somewhat curious. Although Lin Yu was very handsome, everything he wore together was worth less than three hundred yuan.
Yet he could afford to issue two commissions at once.
"Help me find a top-grade Fire Spirit Seed that can triple the power of magic and has an additional effect!"
"Anything under forty million is fine."
Lin Yu knew that Spirit Seeds enhanced magical power by between two and three times. In the original work, Mo Fan's Mei Yan gave a 2.5-times boost, but had no special effect.
(This is from the original work. I just read it. Thousand Jun has a shockwave effect.)
But Lin Yu had already strengthened his Fire Department Star Particles twice, so he naturally did not lack this bit of money.
Even a Spirit Seed that doubled power could sell for over twenty million, while a Top-tier Spirit Seed that tripled it naturally had an even more outrageous price.
"A big customer!"
Old Man Bao looked curiously at Lin Yu across from him.
From the fact that he had injured Bai Family members and needed to seek out Azure Hunter's Lodge, it was clear that Lin Yu did not have a major power backing him.
Yet someone like that was actually claiming he would spend forty million to purchase a Top-tier Fire Spirit Seed.
"Sure, but we need a deposit!"
Before Old Man Bao could speak, Ling Ling hurriedly said.
It could not be helped. If Lin Yu did not act and speak like a normal person, Ling Ling would have suspected that he had escaped from some mental hospital.
"Mm."
After nodding, Lin Yu directly took out a bank card.
There was now another General-level Spirit Essence in his spiritual world. A Spirit Seed was nothing to fuss over!
Ling Ling transferred twenty million, and there really was twenty million available on the card.
"Don't worry. Your younger sister won't face any problems during this time."
"I guarantee it with the reputation of Azure Hunter's Lodge."
After receiving the twenty million, Old Man Bao looked at Lin Yu calmly. Yet his words carried incomparable confidence.
"Good!"
Lin Yu nodded. After confirming all the details, including what effects he wanted from the Spirit Seed, he left directly.
This Hunting Ground was naturally trustworthy.
"This guy is called Lin Yu."
Ling Ling looked at the name on the contract in her hand, curiosity rising within her toward Lin Yu.
She watched Lin Yu leave.
"Notify those people. We've got a big job!"
"Okay, Grandpa."
Ling Ling nodded and headed upstairs.
