Lu Yin was curious. "Is it related to the President Ye you mentioned?"
Elder Big Drum replied, "Ye Wang, the founder of Shamrock Enterprises."
"The Daynight clan?" Lu Yin's gaze turned cold.
Elder Big Drum shook his head. "Ye as in leaves."
"Oh." Lu Yin understood. If it really was the Daynight clan, then he would destroy Shamrock Enterprises in the Outerverse.
"Alliance Leader Lu, Ye Wang is not a simple person. He founded Shamrock Enterprises and expanded his business from the Innerverse to the Outerverse, then to the Cosmic Sea, and finally to the Neoverse. There are very few people in the history of the universe who have been able to reach this stage. He has lived for a very long time and has always been in a deep slumber. No one dares to disturb him, but he will wake up every once in a while."
"Even the Hall of Honor does not want to offend him. It would be unwise to make an enemy out of him," Elder Big Drum advised.
Lu Yin replied, "I don't want to make an enemy out of Shamrock Enterprises. I just want Yu Mu to apologize."
Elder Big Drum replied, "I can help you fight for that, but I hope that this matter will end here. This is for your own good. You've offended many people in the Innerverse, and you are the Hall of Honor's solution. We don't want you to suffer any losses."
Lu Yin's anger had mostly dissipated after the battle, and he was not a petty person. "How about this? Let him apologize to En Ya, and we'll let this matter rest."
Elder Big Drum nodded. "I'll talk to him."
When Elder Big Drum appeared, En Ya was the most indignant. It was not because Elder Big Drum could mediate between her and Yu Mu, but because she would not be able to get Yu Mu to apologize for insulting Shui Chuanxiao.
Shui Chuanxiao had intentionally lost the battle and caused half of the Endless Weave to fall into the hands of the Technocracy. This was the judgment of the Hall of Honor. If they forced Yu Mu to apologize for insulting Shui Chuanxiao in front of Elder Big Drum, then it would be equivalent to slapping the Hall of Honor in the face.
Lu Yin walked over to En Ya, and she hurriedly said, "Your Highness, we can't bring up Commander Shui's matter."
Lu Yin nodded. "I know. We'll talk about this later." Yu Mu was not someone who would willingly accept such humiliation. Perhaps he would apologize under Elder Bigu's coercion, but he would definitely harbor a grudge against Yu Mu. Lu Yin could already imagine the friction between him and Yu Mu in the future, but he was not in a hurry. He could deal with this matter in the future.
He could be rational enough to give up some benefits for the sake of the big picture, but he could not be rational enough to give up his dignity for the sake of the big picture. He had to pay back the humiliation that Yu Mu had given him, even if it meant having another enemy in the future.
No one knew what Elder Big Drum said, but not long after, Yu Mu glared at Lu Yin and En Ya. He gritted his teeth and said, "I apologize for what happened before."
En Ya clenched her fists and slowly loosened them.
"President Yu, we'll meet again if fate wills it." He then nodded at Elder Big Drum and left with En Ya in his collapsible spacecraft.
Yu Mu took a few deep breaths as he watched the spaceship disappear into the sky. His eyes were filled with unwillingness.
Elder Dagu came to his side. "If King Ye knew about what happened today, he would definitely have a whole new level of respect for you. Not everyone has the courage to apologize."
Yu Mu replied in a low voice, "This brat showed off his abilities and courted death."
Elder Big Drum looked at him. "Even if he courted death, it shouldn't have come from you, and it definitely shouldn't have come from Shamrock Enterprises. King Ye has always been on good terms with my Hall of Honor, and Lu Yin is our Hall of Honor's solution. You should know what that means, and his background involves the Adjudicator."
Yu Mu closed his eyes. Elder Big Drum's last sentence was the true reason for his apology. This Lu Yin was related to the Adjudicator, and the Adjudicator was a peak existence in the Human Domain. Yu Mu did not dare to provoke him.
"I'll take my leave as well.
I hope that today's matter will end here, and that both sides will not pursue the matter further, "Elder Big Drum said tiredly.
Yu Mu turned around and left without even saying goodbye.
Elder Big Drum frowned. If not for King Ye, then this Yu Mu would not have been qualified for Elder Big Drum to mediate. Lu Yin was completely capable of eliminating this person. Elder Big Drum felt a headache coming on when he thought about Lu Yin. He had a premonition that he would have to mediate even more matters for this person in the future.
This time, it was Shamrock Enterprises. Hopefully, the next time, it would not be an existence like the Mavis Bank. That was a colossus in the Neoverse, and it was not something that Elder Big Drum could mediate.
After leaving Shamrock Enterprises' headquarters, Lu Yin and En Ya boarded a collapsible spacecraft and headed towards Shenwu Continent.
He felt a deep sense of guilt towards Ming Yan, as they only met once in a while. However, this was the norm for cultivators. They did not care about life or death, and any random seclusion could last for years or even decades. Lu Yin had already done a very good job.
Among the younger generation, whether it was the Ten Arbiters, the Realmlings, or the experts on the Top 100 Rankings, very few people dated, and even fewer married. One reason was that the higher one's cultivation grew, the higher the bloodline innate gift. Another reason was that cultivators were different from ordinary people. They enjoyed status that ordinary people could not reach, but they also had to endure loneliness that ordinary people could not understand.
It was nighttime on Shenwu Continent, and Lu Yin tore through the void and walked out of Mingdu's imperial palace. He was greeted by a pair of jade-white palms. "Yan 'er, it's me."
Ming Yan's palms stopped, and she looked at Lu Yin in shock. Her brows rose. "How dare you appear in my bedroom? You're courting death. Be careful that I don't bury you."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. This was White Inventor Yan. Right, it was already dark, so White Inventor Yan had come out.
This Ming Yan was not easy to communicate with.
"Yan 'er, why don't you go to sleep first and Brother Lu will come back tomorrow?" Lu Yin asked carefully. He then turned to leave.
The white-haired Ming Yan snorted. "Stop right there."
Lu Yin paused and then laughed dryly. "Yan 'er, is something the matter?"
Ming Yan stared at Lu Yin coldly. "I heard that you died?"
"That's just a rumor."
"Is that so? What a pity."
Lu Yin was speechless.
"What happened?
Tell me, "the white-haired Ming Yan said coldly, and there was a bone-chilling look in her eyes.
This was not directed at Lu Yin, but at the person who had caused his death. It was a coldness that Lu Yin had never felt before.
Lu Yin's heart warmed. Regardless of whether it was the white-haired Ming Yan or the black-haired Ming Yan, they were both Ming Yan and the people he loved. Although the white-haired Ming Yan had a cold appearance and bore the burden of Ming Yan's loneliness and sadness, her feelings had not changed. She was just not good at expressing herself and preferred to hide her feelings.
The night quickly passed, and Lu Yin told the white-haired Ming Yan about the war in the Innerverse as well as the fight for the General Appointment Platform. However, he did not mention anything about Nightking Zhenwu, as Ming Yan did not need to worry about him.
The white-haired Ming Yan still wanted to know the reason behind Lu Yin's death, and Lu Yin had no choice but to tell her that it was a rumor created by Wang Wen.
The white-haired Ming Yan's gaze was cold as she muttered Wang Wen's name.
Lu Yin pursed his lips and secretly apologized to Wang Wen. Wang Wen might have to suffer because of this matter in the future.
They chatted for the entire night, and Lu Yin tried his best to take advantage of her. Surprisingly, the white-haired Ming Yan did not reject him, and she kept saying that she would bury him, but she did not do anything extreme. This made Lu Yin excited, and he felt that the future was filled with light and passion.
The white-haired Ming Yan and the black-haired Ming Yan seemed very interesting.
The night passed, and Lu Yin watched as Ming Yan's white hair turned black.
He hugged her, startling her, and she turned back to her white hair as she glared at him.
Lu Yin laughed dryly and retreated a few steps.
"How impudent! I'll really bury you!" the white-haired Ming Yan shouted.
Lu Yin did not move.
The white-haired Ming Yan snorted and slowly turned back to her black-haired self.
When the black-haired Ming Yan completely appeared, Lu Yin could not help but hug her again. The black-haired Ming Yan hugged him back, her eyes red. "Brother Lu, Yan 'er thought that you were really dead."
Lu Yin hurriedly apologized.
The black-haired Ming Yan's emotions fluctuated greatly, and she kept complaining about how much she missed him.
Lu Yin kept comforting her.
"Brother Lu, you should marry Yan 'er," Ming Yan whispered bashfully, burying her head in Lu Yin's chest.
Lu Yin's heart swayed, and he gazed at her beautiful face before lowering his head to kiss her.
After a long while, Ming Yan looked up and met Lu Yin's eyes. Her gaze suddenly turned gloomy and bitter. "Brother Lu, you're not willing?"
Lu Yin sighed. "Yan 'er, I really did almost die this time."
Ming Yan's heart trembled, and her face turned pale.
Lu Yin told her the entire story of the struggle, with the main focus being Nightking Zhenwu.
He did not want Ming Yan to be worried, but he also did not want to marry her at this time. Even if he wanted to marry her, he would have to deal with the hidden danger that was the Daynight clan and completely stabilize his position in the universe. He loved Ming Yan, and he did not want her to suffer another blow.
Ming Zhaoshu's death had made Ming Yan want to die. She was afraid, afraid that the same thing would happen again and that there would not be a third Ming Yan.
Ming Yan's fists turned white as she listened to Lu Yin's story, and her entire body trembled.
She had almost lost her most important family. She had almost lost her most important family.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and her hair turned from black to white.
Lu Yin hurriedly hugged her. "Yan 'er, don't think too much. I'm fine. I have someone protecting me, so nothing will happen. I promise you that I'll marry you once I deal with the Daynight clan, okay?"
Ming Yan's trembling gradually calmed down, and she curled up in Lu Yin's embrace. It took a while for her to calm down, but her gaze had changed, as if she had made some sort of decision.
Lu Yin did not see Ming Yan's gaze, and he only thought that she was worried and angry for him.
"I'm fine, Brother Lu," Ming Yan said gently as she caressed Lu Yin's face.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief and hugged her tightly. "Yan 'er, I promise you that nothing will happen again, okay?"
Ming Yan grunted in acknowledgment and smiled sweetly. "Brother Lu, accompany me for a stroll in the garden."
Lu Yin nodded.
…
Shenwu Continent was sealed off by the five sealing planets, and Lu Yin had guessed that the five sealing planets were a sourcebox array. He had no idea what was hidden within such a huge sourcebox.
The only other person who knew of this secret was Ming Yan. Lu Yin had told her not to tell anyone about Gu Yue, as even he would not be able to prevent Shenwu Continent from being destroyed.
Just the Lockbreakers alone would be enough to tear apart Shenwu Continent for research purposes.
Lu Yin had only planned to stay on Shenwu Continent for a few days to accompany Ming Yan, but Ming Yan had insisted that he stay for ten more days. Ten days later, he left Shenwu Continent.
Ming Yan looked at the empty garden and raised her head. "Brother Lu, I can't let you experience life and death alone. Shenwu Continent is too small, and I can't help you." Her gaze was resolute as she spoke.
