Chapter 472

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 glanced 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 flashed in her eyes, and she asked, “Ms. Mapleton, since you and Rys have already tested each other, did 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 clamp. 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 glanced 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 it coming. 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 flashy? It makes one an easy target.”

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

“You don’t understand, do you? The title of Empyrean Lord has become 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?”
