Chapter 1227: Want to Join the Astronomical Parliament? Prove Your Worth First!

However, the moment she reached out her hand to touch the Corona Australis seat, the woman on the Libra throne said calmly, “Wait. If you want to join the Astronomical Parliament, you have to prove your worth first.”

Wen Yu’s words stunned Su Yiren.

She did not remember Ta Lei being asked to prove his worth before he formed a contract with the Leo Minor seat.

This made Su Yiren feel as though she was receiving special treatment.

Although she was living a life worse than death in the Divine Wood Federation, she was in a dream-like meeting where her figure was formed from willpowers.

She could puff up with the pride of being a Dark Envoy here.

She would have backed out of the Astronomical Parliament without hesitation if she had received such special treatment the last time.

Ever since the last Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting ended, Lin Yuan had used Star Spirit Seat to transfer the Jasmine Lily’s vitality to Su Yiren to heal her injuries.

This had allowed Su Yiren to see how powerful the Astronomical Parliament was. She also knew that being in the Divine Wood Federation did not affect how much help she could receive from the Astronomical Parliament.

Moreover, Lin Yuan had mentioned hope that enabled Su Yiren to plan out her future path over the last week.

This was why Su Yiren could not wait to form a contract with the Corona Australis seat the moment she entered the Astronomical Parliament.

She had decided to join the Astronomical Parliament and was determined to survive—she would not abandon this chance just because she was receiving unfair treatment.

Su Yiren looked at Wen Yu and asked, “How do you want me to prove my worth?”

While Su Yiren was speaking with Wen Yu, Lin Yuan looked through Su Yiren’s memories again to see how she had spent the last seven days.

When he saw that Su Yiren wanted to form a contract with the Corona Australis seat, he was about to stop her, but Wen Yu beat him to it.

Since Wen Yu had spoken first, Lin Yuan left the rest of the interaction to her. He wanted to see how Wen Yu would act and what she said.

Wen Yu said, “Proving one’s worth does not depend on what the person has but what they can do. Can you work with the Astronomical Parliament wholeheartedly without a single thought of scheming?”

Su Yiren fell silent.

Instead of replying to Wen Yu, Su Yiren pointed at Ta Lei, Yin Lin, and Bei Xu and said, “Can they wholeheartedly work with the Astronomical Parliament without a single thought of scheming? How are others supposed to know what a person is thinking? This promise seems childish to me. If I say I’ll do it, will you believe me?”

Yin Lin cut her off and snapped, “Don’t forget how you entered the Astronomical Parliament in the first place! What did you swear before entering the Astronomical Parliament? Libra is already being kind by using the term ‘working together’. After the Astronomical Parliament fulfills your wish, you should do whatever you can to repay them.”

Bei Xu and Ta Lei frowned as well.

Su Yiren could clearly sense the other three’s distaste for her.

Yin Lin’s words were a reminder to Su Yiren. She had been so set on entering the Astronomical Parliament again because she wanted to lead a better life and fulfill her goal. It was true that she had completely forgotten how she entered the Astronomical Parliament in the first place.

At that moment, the woman on the Libra throne said calmly, “You’re currently thinking of ways to receive more benefits from the Astronomical Parliament. Once you’re able, you’ll return to the Dark Continent and use your identity as one of the seven Dark Envoys to enjoy the benefits of your status. Am I right?”

Su Yiren’s eyes widened as Wen Yu had hit the nail right on its head.

It was like Su Yiren was an open book to Wen Yu.

Last time, Su Yiren had wondered how the two people seated on the throne knew so much about her.

Something was off about this meeting. Could the woman seated on the Libra throne have the ability to read everything in another person’s mind?

While Su Yiren was thinking, Wen Yu went on to say, “I always assumed that people who have the capabilities to become a Dark Envoy are able to judge matters clearly. If you want revenge, you have to be more powerful than Seventh Page War at the very least. If you charge ahead without this power, it will only result in the deaths of those closest to you. You should know this well.

“I’m giving you a final chance. Tell me what you can do for the Astronomical Parliament. Otherwise, you can continue to live a life of struggle by drifting around the Divine Wood Federation and scrounging for food in trash cans.

“There is a Class 4 family in Oak City, some Class 3 families, and many Class 2 families. In such a huge city full of wealthy families, the death of a drifter will be less than insignificant. No one will know that the once-great Dark Envoy has died in a dirty corner of one of Oak City’s alleys.

“You know I’m not saying this to scare you, and you shouldn’t think of forming a contract with the Astronomical Parliament as a simple matter. Once you form a contract with the Astronomical Parliament, you’ll have to make good on your promises to the Astronomical Parliament. Otherwise, you’ll have a much higher price to pay.”

Everything Wen Yu said was like arrows shot directly through Su Yiren’s heart as they were all the struggles that Su Yiren was being tortured by.

Su Yiren was terrified by Wen Yu’s ability to read a person’s mind.

She gnashed her teeth and replied, “There are many things I can do. If you hand me a federation, I can guarantee that it’ll be organized and prosperous. If you want me to do anything else, you’ll have to heal my wounds first. Moreover, my sacred source lifeform is special. Its abilities are tied together with the rest of my feys. If my sacred source lifeforms doesn’t recover from its near-death state, I won’t be able to summon my feys even if my soul injury is healed.”

Although Su Yiren spoke pompously, Wen Yu knew that she was telling the truth.

There were seven federations in the Dark Continent, and one of the tests to become a Dark Envoy was to manage a federation for a year to prove that they had the ability to plan with the big picture in mind.
