Chapter 472 Sense Of Mystery


    This only served to further confuse Larissa, who asked, “If you two didn’t know each other before, then


    why did you act so strangely just now?”


    “Is that so? Perhaps it’s due to our personalities. That’s how I greet your godbrother,” Hazel said with a


    smile.


    Emrys affectionately ruffled Larissa’s hair. “Issa, don’t let your imagination run wild. Your teacher and I


    were simply testing each other. You know, when masters meet, they enjoy pretending to be profound


    while assessing each other.”


    “What were the results of the test?” Larissa asked, her eyes wide


    open.


    Emrys nced at Hazel, then withdrew his gaze, smiling as he said, “The results of our test are


    satisfactory to both of us.”


    “Is that so?”


    Larissa looked at Hazel skeptically.


    Hazel gently nodded.


    Larissa let out a sigh of relief and said, “That puts my mind at ease. Seeing the way you were arguing


    just now, I thought there was some sort of grudge between the two of you…”


    As she had a carefree personality, she didn’t dwell on it any further. Suddenly, a glint shed in her


    eyes, and she asked, “Ms. Mapleton, since you and Rys have already tested each other, did


    1/4


    you find out that Emrys is the Empyrean Lord-Mm!”


    Before Larissa could finish speaking, Emrys suddenly covered her mouth.


    Hazel, with a puzzled expression, asked, “What did you say?”


    “The Empyrean Lord-”


    Emrys covered Larissa’s mouth with one hand, while with the other, he scooped her up around the


    waist and dashed out of the chancellor’s office.


    Just as Larissa was about to reveal to Hazel that Emrys was the Empyrean Lord, she suddenly felt


    someone lifting her.


    When she came back to her senses, she realized that Emrys had whisked her out of the office in a


    domineering manner.


    Larissa twisted her delicate body, struggling a few times with great effort.


    However, Emrys’ arm was as firm as an iron mp. He held her waist tightly, rendering her unable to


    move.


    Left with no other choice, Larissa had to resort to her old trick. She bit down on the index finger of the


    hand Emrys used to cover her mouth.


    Only then was she able to break free.


    “Rys! What were you doing? We were having a nice chat, and suddenly you picked me up and ran off.


    It’s really rude. If I didn’t

    know better, I’d think you were a kidnapper!”


    Emrys nced at the bite mark on his hand, his face darkened as he said, “Biting people without


    warning, are you a dog?”

    Fortunately, it was his hand that got bitten this time.


    “No, I’m a tiger. You had iting. Hmph!” Larissa looked at Emrys with a gleeful look of


    schadenfreude.


    Emrys was speechless.


    With a hand on her seductive waist, Larissa questioned, “Why didn’t you let me reveal your identity


    earlier?”


    “Have you forgotten what your teacher told me? She advised me to live a low-profile life. Wasn’t that a


    warning not to be too shy? It makes one an easy target.”


    “But you are the Empyrean Lord. How is it considered shy for me to state a fact?”


    “You don’t understand, do you? The title of Empyrean Lord has be a sort of belief. If you were to


    reveal my identity, the sense of mystery would be lost. When a belief begins to lose its sense of


    mystery, it’s the time when faith gradually starts to crumble. People tend to project an imagined, elusive


    figure onto me. Once the halo of myth is stripped away, it’s hard for faith to return to its former state.”


    Emrys was unaware of the impact of his words, but they had a remarkable effect. They left Larissa


    feeling disoriented and bewildered.

    “Is it truly that… enigmatic? I merely intended to disclose your


    identity to my teacher as a delightful surprise. It shouldn’t be as


    grave as you perceive it to be, correct?”
