Chapter 762: Influence
Palace Lord Qing Yu paused, startled. "A celebration?"
Then, as if something clicked, her expression shifted. "Lord Ju Mang, don't tell me... you're planning to have her marry one of the prodigies? That mustn't happen."
Ju Mang looked slightly helpless at her reaction.
Before he could respond, Han Su, standing behind him, quickly stepped in. "Qing Yu, you've got it all wrong. You've been so focused on that girl these past few days, you probably haven't had time to notice what's happening outside."
"I gave Sacred Child Li my word that I'd look after her. I can't just break that promise," Qing Yu said. "She just broke through to the Solar Flare Realm. Her energy is unstable. Even a moment of carelessness could be dangerous."
Ju Mang glanced at her, silently thinking to himself, Seems fortune really is on her side... though she did earn it through her own hard work.
With that, he finally said, "The prodigy I mentioned isn't just anyone. I was referring to Li Pin."
Qing Yu froze. "Li Pin!?"
"You can't refer to him so casually anymore," Han Su said with a chuckle. "He's now known as Cosmic Radiance Origin. And before long, we'll be calling him Tyrant Origin."
"Cosmic Radiance? Tyrant? Li Pin?" Qing Yu looked more confused than ever. "Wasn't he just at the sixty-sixth step of the Supreme Ladder a few decades ago? Even if the Divine Race ranked him ninth on the Black List, that shouldn't mean—"
Halfway through her sentence, she caught sight of the serious looks on their faces. Her words faltered, and the confusion in her eyes slowly faded.
It took her several breaths to fully process the meaning behind this news. "Li Pin... he's reached the Cosmic Radiance Realm? He became an Astral God less than a century ago, and now he's already stepped into Cosmic Radiance?"
