Lu Yu had just returned to his villa, seeking solace in a small pavilion overlooking the front yard. Before he could settle into a comfortable position, his assistant burst into the courtyard, her hurried steps echoing across the stone path.

“Is Lu Yu here?” She panted, scanning the area before spotting him. “Lu Yu! I found you. There’s something urgent!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

She rushed toward him, barely catching her breath. “I have important news!” Lu Yu raised an eyebrow, setting down his drink. “What’s the matter?”

“You’ve officially joined the hunting team, haven’t you? That means you’re obligated to complete the tasks we assign, correct?” she queried nervously.

Lu Yu offered a curt nod. “Indeed. What’s the task?”

“Excellent! You’re proving to be a valuable asset to the team,” she beamed, her voice laced with relief. “I knew we could count on you. Thank you!”

Taking a deep breath, she explained the dire situation. “The Poison Dragon has returned! The Demon Lord’s Abyss forces are back, and they’re gearing up for another attack. We haven’t pinpointed their location yet, leaving us vulnerable. We need swift retaliation, or disaster awaits!”

Her voice rose in urgency. “Lu Yu, we need you to act immediately. The Poison Dragon is a threat we can’t ignore. I have complete faith in your abilities. You can handle this!”

Lu Yu, however, held up a hand, his expression unwavering. “I refuse.”

The assistant froze, disbelief etched on her face. “Refuse? But you just assured me you’d help! The enemy could attack at any moment. We can’t afford to wait. We need a counteroffensive, now!”

Her voice cracked with desperation as she clasped her hands in a pleading gesture. “Please, Lu Yu! Don’t you understand the gravity of the situation? Our city’s safety hangs in the balance!”

Lu Yu remained unfazed, settling back into his chair with a yawn. “Honestly,

I’m just not in the mood for this. Besides, I don’t have the time.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Do you have other pressing matters?” she inquired, a flicker of hope igniting in her eyes.

Lu Yu gave a nonchalant nod. “Of course.”

“Really? And what could possibly be more important than the safety of Skyplume City?” she pressed, incredulous.

“Enjoying this peaceful moment,” he replied coolly. “Sipping my drink and admiring the scenery.”

The assistant sputtered, dumbfounded. “Just… just for that? You’re kidding me, right? We have an enemy at our doorstep, and you want to relax? Lu Yu,

Skyplume City’s future rests on your shoulders! Please, I beg you, attack!”

“Your immense strength is our only hope! Destroy the enemy before they destroy us!” Tears welled up in her eyes as she dropped to her knees.

Lu Yu reached for his drink, taking a slow sip. He shook his head, a hint of exasperation tinging his voice. “Go back. I need some rest.”

“But what about the enemy?” She cried out, her voice thick with despair.

“Ugh, this is unbearable. Leave. Now. I have no patience for this nonsense. If you persist, I’ll be forced to call security.”

Defeated, the assistant mumbled, “I’ll leave… I’ll leave…” before turning and walking away with slumped shoulders.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Lu Yu watched her depart, then took another sip of his drink, the silence settling heavily around him.

The assistant left the courtyard, her steps heavy with disappointment. As she hurried towards Zhao Qingya’s office building, she muttered under her breath, “What kind of teammate is that? No sense of responsibility at all. Clearly, he’s not the one who can save this city. Time to find someone else.”

Back in the villa courtyard, Lu Yu rose from his chair, stretching leisurely. Just then, Hu Zhan approached.

“Just saw a visitor. Here for you?” he inquired.

Lu Yu offered a curt nod.

“Anything I can do to help?”

“Nothing major,” Lu Yu replied dismissively.

Hu Zhan waved a hand dismissively. “Good to hear.”

“Just a heads-up,” Lu Yu continued, “the Demon Lord Abyss folks are gearing up for another attack. Seems they’re about to make their move.”

Hu Zhan’s eyes widened in alarm. “The Demon Lord Abyss? That’s a big deal!

Everyone in Skyplume City knows how dangerous they are. They could level this city!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Huge deal,” Lu Yu agreed.

“That’s why we can’t ignore it. By the way, that visitor was Mayor Zhao’s assistant. Probably here to enlist you in the fight, right? You said yes, of course?”

Lu Yu shook his head with a hint of impatience. “Of course not.”

“Why not?” Hu Zhan pressed, confused.

“Simple,” Lu Yu explained. “She didn’t come to me first. They ran to Li Tianen first. Only after they found out he couldn’t fight did they come looking for me.”

“So, in their eyes, I’m not their first choice. Not about being the first one to fight.”

“Let them sweat a little. Once they’re desperate, it’ll be my turn.” Lu Yu tossed his empty drink aside.

“So you’ll still take action, just not right now?” Hu Zhan clarified.

Lu Yu nodded. “Absolutely. Taking out that Poison Dragon wouldn’t even take much time.”

Hu Zhan sighed heavily. “Alright, let them learn their lesson. It might make Zhao Qingya appreciate you more.”

“What about Li Tianen? Knowing him, he’d be itching to show off, wouldn’t he? Shouldn’t he be gearing up for battle? Unless… he’s decided to fight, and that’s why the assistant didn’t come for you.”

“Don’t tell me!” Hu Zhan clutched his head in disbelief. “Did Li Tianen fall to the enemy?”

“No, just relieved him of his dragon.”

Hu Zhan started to relax with a sigh. “Good, at least he’s alive…”

His relief was short-lived as another shock hit him. “You took his dragon? He’s not mad?”

“He doesn’t have the guts to be mad,” Lu Yu smirked.

“Sounds like… you taught him a lesson.” Hu Zhan grinned. “Then let’s enjoy some peace and quiet. When the time is right, you can make your move.”

With that, Lu Yu sauntered back into the living room, picking up his newspaper and continuing his leisurely reading.

Meanwhile, the assistant returned to Zhao Qingya’s office, finding the mayor pacing back and forth with worry etched on her face.

“What did Lu Yu say? Did he agree?” Zhao Qingya asked urgently. The assistant shook her head dejectedly. “No… no, he refused.”

“What? Why? That’s impossible! This mission would boost his status significantly!”

“He said he needs to rest and can’t fight right now.”

Zhao Qingya slumped her shoulders, defeated. “It looks like I’ll have to find someone else to handle this..”
