"I want to declare myself emperor?"
"Lu Yu, you're planning to declare yourself emperor?"
Hearing Sect Master Ning's words, Lu Yu looked puzzled, while Ning Tian beside him paled in shock. How had someone who had been her classmate not long ago suddenly decided to declare himself emperor out of nowhere?
"Huh?" Seeing Lu Yu's expression, Sect Master Ning realized he had misunderstood and hurriedly stood up. "Sorry, Master Lu. I misunderstood."
"All right, perhaps what I just said was a little ambiguous."
Master Lu was also somewhat embarrassed. Still, he had not expected Sect Master Ning to dare go this far with him. Given the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's size, where did he find the nerve? Had he gone mad?

Lu Yu spoke.

"I found aromatic silk beauty!"
"What?!" ×2
