"If I said I wanted to become close to you, Junior Brother, would you be willing?"
Become close.
That was merely a veiled way of putting it.
Both of them knew perfectly well what it truly meant.
After hearing Senior Sister Lü's words, Chen Yu remained silent for a long time. Just as Lü Yanyan's expression began to fall, the light of hope in her eyes fading as despair rose to take its place, Chen Yu spoke. "Senior Sister, you know that everyone the sect selected this time was someone they could casually discard. They were either buried under mountains of debt, mediocre in talent, or injured with no hope of advancing their cultivation. And I happened to be on that list too. Aren't you worried that I might not be the person worthy of your trust that you imagine me to be?"
Hearing Chen Yu's question, Lü Yanyan immediately shook her head. "No."
"Why?"
"Your talent is exceptional, Junior Brother, and you aren't injured, so that leaves only one reason..." Lü Yanyan did not spell it out. "As long as you become an inner sect disciple, there will be a way to resolve your debts."
"What if it isn't because of debt?" Chen Yu asked with a smile. "I only recently joined the Outer Sect. How many contribution points could I possibly owe? Besides, the elders wouldn't lend a new disciple an enormous number of contribution points."
66
Lü Yanyan froze.
Thinking it over, she realized he was right.
Puzzled, she asked, "Then, Junior Brother, is it because...?"
Chen Yu looked at her with a smile and answered directly, "A false spirit embryo."
After saying that, he repeated, "I have a false spirit embryo."
Lü Yanyan's expression changed.
She fell silent.
Chen Yu smiled.
