Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. Lu?
What did that mean?
Was it a surname?
Or was it the title of an ancestor?
Could it be the oldest Progenitor that had been confirmed and discussed alongside the Grim Reaper and Fate?
Was it related to the surname Lu?
He looked at Long Kui, but the old man's lips were sealed. Lu Yin's heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
He wanted to ask, but Long Kui definitely would not say anything. There was one thing that Lu Yin was certain of: his real name could not be exposed. The surname Lu seemed to be rather unique in this region.
On the Fifth Mainland, it was one of the primeval surnames, just like Liu and Bai. However, in this region, it was rather strange.
The Cloudpass Stone on Long Xi's wrist vibrated, and Long Tian's figure appeared. "It's done. Immediately bring Long Seven to the Yin Mountain District to report. He has officially joined the Humble Class, and the mission location will be the Yin Mountain District of the Central Plain Realm."
Long Xi nodded. "Understood."
Long Tian looked deeply at Long Xi. "Warn him not to cause trouble. Stay there for a few months, and I'll think of a way for him to obtain contributions so that he can smoothly retire." He then vanished.
Long Xi said to Long Kui, "Yin Mountain District."
Long Kui sighed. "Young Ancestor, you've put in a lot of effort this time. Among the Humble Class, the Yin Mountain District is the most suitable for him. There are only young masters and young mistresses there, and it's not dangerous. There are also very few missions. Zhuo Si is famous for being lazy and never fights for contributions. Even the Four Scales of the Upper Realm sent their hedonistic sons to the Yin Mountain District.
"Stay there for a few months, earn some contributions, and retire. He'll be safe for the rest of his life, and no one will dare to touch him. Just a few months and he'll be protected by the Humble Class. Young Ancestor must have paid a heavy price."
Long Kui had said that Long Tian had paid a price, but he was actually referring to Long Xi. He was well aware of the siblings' situation, and Long Tian would not have been able to reach this stage without paying a huge price.
It was easy to throw someone into the Yin Mountain District, but it was difficult to obtain contributions there. Most of the young masters and young mistresses there could not obtain any contributions; only the Four Scales had the ability to do so.
Retiring without contributions would at most add a layer of polish to one's identity and make others wary. However, retiring with contributions was different, and one would obtain the protection of the Humble Class.
The Humble School was famous for being protective of their own. There were many experts in the Humble School, and they had great authority. If they could obtain the protection of the Humble School, no one would dare to touch them.
Long Xi had promised to help Long Tian go to the World of Sovereigns in order to let Lu Yin join the Humble Class and earn enough merit to retire.
The higher the price Long Tian was willing to pay, the more dangerous the trip to the Sovereign Realm would be.
Although they hadn't known each other for long, Lu Yin could feel that Long Xi truly cared about him. Even if she was just using him, it was still a form of care. He didn't want her to throw her life away. "I don't have to go to the Humble School, but you don't have to accompany him to the Ruler Realm," Lu Yin told her.
Long Xi looked at him, "You saw what happened in the Mortal Realm. There are people who want to kill you all the time, and they even hire boundless assassins. Without the protection of a poor student, you'll be walking on the edge of a cliff for the rest of your life. You can die at any time."
"Life and death are determined by the heavens. To be honest, everyone is afraid of death, but I don't want to sacrifice you in exchange for my life. You should know that if you die in the Sovereign Realm, I won't be able to live either. My family won't care about my life."
Long Kui glanced at Lu Yin; this kid was pretty smart.
Long Xi looked deeply at Lu Yin, and her tone was much gentler than before, "Don't worry, I won't die."
Lu Yin didn't say anything else, as he couldn't change her decision.
"Be honest when you go to the Yin Mountain District. You don't have to make friends with anyone, and you don't have to live like a coward. You're the illegitimate son of the Riverside Clan's leader, so you'll change your name to Riverside Yi when you get there," Long Xi said.
"Change my name?
Why? "Lu Yin didn't understand.
Long Xi explained, "The Four Cardinal Scales are too big of a target, and your status is too high. If you join the Yin Mountain District as a White Dragon, you'll become the center of attention. Even in a place like the Yin Mountain District that's just waiting to die, there will still be disputes. The White Dragon Clan's identity is too sensitive, so it's not suitable for you to join."
Lu Yin nodded. Riverside Yi, then. Thankfully, his name was good, but his status as an illegitimate son was a little unsightly.
"Do you know anything about the Humble School?" Long Xi suddenly asked.
She had said so much, but she hadn't even asked if Lu Yin knew anything about the Humble School.
Lu Yin hated being asked such questions, and he was afraid that they would be common sense questions.
"Then you don't," Long Xi said as she looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin liked how confident she was.
"The Humble School was established in the Four Cardinal Scales, and its responsibility is to eliminate traitors among the humans. It has great authority and has a total of thirteen gates. There are four in the Top Realm and nine in the Middle Realm, and the Yin Mountain District is one of the nine gates. In theory, all thirteen gates have to go out on missions every day and face great danger, but the Yin Mountain District is an exception. The entire place is desolate, and very few humans live there, let alone traitors. That's why the Yin Mountain District is the best place to gain experience."
Lu Yin really wanted to ask who the human race's enemy was and how there could be traitors and traitors, but this was obviously common sense, and he didn't dare to ask. The biographies didn't mention it either.
Speaking of which, most of the biographies were fabricated, and what Lu Yin could glean was only the most common knowledge, such as the name of this region, the land, and even some of the regions.
After that, the group arrived at the orange region and descended. They followed the color and headed towards the Middle Realm.
Long Xi gave Lu Yin a cosmic ring.
Lu Yin looked at it and was shocked, "So much money?"
Long Xi was very generous for some reason, and she gave Lu Yin fifty million star essence. This was quite a lot, so much so that it was strange.
"The Yin Mountain District is desolate, but those young masters have built a paradise there for them to enjoy. Don't embarrass yourself there," Long Xi said calmly.
Lu Yin seriously sized up Long Xi. Although this girl had a fiery temper, she was very considerate. She didn't want him to embarrass himself outside!
She glanced at Lu Yin and frowned when she saw his expression. "Don't overthink it. I just don't want you to embarrass the White Dragon Tribe."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. White Dragon Tribe?
His identity to the outside world was Lin Jiangyi. This girl wasn't honest at all, but she was very cute.
"Do what you should and don't do what you shouldn't," Long Xi added as she stared at Lu Yin with a warning look.
Lu Yin understood, and a brothel suddenly popped up in his mind.
"There's something more important," Long Kui suddenly spoke up and looked at Lu Yin sternly, "Don't go near Zhuo Si."
Lu Yin was confused.
Long Xi didn't understand either, "What do you mean, Elder?"
Long Kui looked back and said seriously, "Zhuo Si has a complicated background. Don't get close to him or have anything to do with him. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome."
Lu Yin hurriedly agreed, "Understood, Elder."
…
Jian Wushuang spread its wings and flew away from the Bifrost.
Lu Yin looked back. The Bifrost was huge, and there were civilizations and cities on it. It was almost like a colorful continent. There were the Lower Realm, the Central Realm, the Top Realm, the Ruler's Realm, and the stars above. This space was even more interesting than the Fifth Mainland.
The Yin Mountain District and the White Mountain District were not in the same direction, and even if they were slightly offset, there would still be a considerable distance between them.
Jian Wushuang flew towards the Yin Mountain District.
A few days later, Lu Yin was attracted by a strange light in the distance. It was just a speck of white, but it was the most eye-catching scene in the universe. Lu Yin looked at the speck of white, and it gradually expanded until it enveloped him.
Suddenly, his mind buzzed. Not good! It was a spiritual force attack! Lu Yin's eyes turned cold, and he growled. Beside him, Long Kui was alarmed, and he turned to stare into the distance. "How dare you!" He raised a palm and slapped out. The palm wind tore through the void and disappeared. Following that, the white light in the distance was obliterated as the palm shattered the heavens.
It wouldn't have been difficult in the Fifth Mainland, and Lu Yin could have done the same. However, it was completely different in this part of the universe. His full-powered attack couldn't even tear through the void, let alone obliterate it.
If Long Kui's palm had been used against Lu Yin, he would have died without a doubt unless he wore universal armor.
The white light was swallowed up by the obliterated void, forming a black hole that scattered in all directions.
Jian Wushuang let out a furious roar that spread out in all directions.
Beads of sweat dripped down Lu Yin's forehead as he panted heavily.
Long Xi supported him with one hand, "How are you?"
Lu Yin panted again and waved a hand, "I- I'm fine."
Long Kui's face was terrifyingly gloomy, "It's an assassin from Boundless. Only that place has all sorts of assassination methods that are impossible to guard against. Even I didn't notice it."
Lu Yin was still afraid, as Boundless was truly terrifying. The assassination attempt in the Mortal Realm had been within his range of vision, but the scene that had just occurred had exceeded his expectations.
A white light had attracted Lu Yin's attention, and a spiritual force attack had followed his line of sight. If not for Lu Yin's powerful spiritual force, he would have been turned into an idiot in an instant.
This person had dared to assassinate Long Kui, who had a power level in the hundreds of thousands. It was no wonder why he had dared to assassinate the Sect Master of the Frigid Immortal Sect. At that moment, Lu Yin was quite wary of Boundless.
This time, Boundless had clearly not expected Lu Yin's spiritual force to be so powerful. What about the next time?
The assassination attempt in the Mortal Realm had failed, but Lu Yin believed that Boundless would have a 90% chance of succeeding the next time.
Lu Yin's thoughts were in a mess. He had thought that with the universal armor, the circle that Long Xi had given him, the Tianhuang Array, and the walnut power vessel, he would be safe. However, he had underestimated this region of space.
If even one's line of sight could be used as an assassination method, then what else was impossible?
Smell?
Hearing?
What else?
This Boundless might have used anything that humans could come into contact with as an assassination method, which was extremely terrifying.
Long Xi's expression turned ugly, "Where's that assassin?"
Long Kui replied, "Dead."
Lu Yin looked into the distance. He was traumatized, and he would not dare to look around in the future.
"This time, he used spiritual force to assassinate. Although that assassin's spiritual force wasn't very powerful, he used it exquisitely. He was actually able to assassinate with his line of sight," Long Kui said.
Long Xi looked at Lu Yin, "The assassin was careless once, but he won't be careless a second time. This time, the assassin's spiritual force wasn't strong, but it might not be the same next time."
