Lu Yin was shocked. "A woman?"
Long Xi's gaze turned cold. "Are you looking down on women?"
"Of course not," Lu Yin hurriedly replied.
Long Xi coldly replied, "This woman helped Bai Shaohong resolve many matters that the Frigid Immortal Sect couldn't easily deal with. She has many tricks up her sleeve, and very few people who have been targeted by her have been able to escape. Even many of the older powerhouses in the Four Cardinal Scales are wary of her. You can say that she's the other side of Bai Shaohong."
Lu Yin frowned. Someone like Wei Rong hated making an enemy out of such a person. Even if he had the means to suppress her, it would still be very difficult for him to win. Back when the Great Eastern Alliance had been suppressing the Wei family, they had still been delayed by Wei Rong for such a long time.
If only Wei Rong or Wang Wen were here, Lu Yin thought to himself.
"I'll remind you again: don't go out. This woman has many tricks up her sleeves, and she can deal with you in ways you can't even imagine. You were lucky this time, but good luck won't last forever," Long Xi warned sternly. "I've already urged Elder Brother, and he'll let you retire within a month. That means that you just have to be obedient for a month.
Lu Yin nodded.
Long Xi looked at him seriously. "After a month, you'll be brought to the Top Realm and officially join the main bloodline of the White Dragon Clan. You'll have no worries for the rest of your life, so this one month is very important to you. Don't make any mistakes."
Lu Yin rubbed his head. Long Xi's second warning had made him cautious. Even this princess of the White Dragon Clan was wary of her, which showed how troublesome this woman called Yu Chen was.
After joining the Humble Class, Lu Yin had understood the rules of the Humble Class. It was almost impossible to join the Humble Class and retire within three months. Even so, Long Tian had promised to do it, which meant that he had paid a huge price. This price was because the person who wanted to deal with him was Yu Chen, a woman that even the Junior Ancestor was wary of.
Lu Yin lowered his hand and looked at the Top Realm. Yu Chen?
Perhaps she was looking down at him as well. Gradually, Lu Yin's expression changed, and he straightened up. When had he become so cowardly?
When Lu Yin had first joined Astral-10, he had offended Nightqueen Yanqing and been suppressed by the Daynight clan. However, he had relied on various methods to survive and eventually disintegrate the Daynight Flowzone. Back then, the Daynight clan had been as powerful as the Frigid Immortal Sect, but he had still been able to disintegrate them. What did he have to fear in this region of space?
At worst, he could start all over again. Moreover, his current status was not simple. He was the son-in-law of the White Dragon Tribe's main bloodline. Although it was a joke, his status was still his status. Moreover, he had joined the Humble Class. His starting point was much higher than when he was in the Fifth Mainland.
"Hiding isn't my style. I've been here for so long, but I've been confused by you," he muttered to himself.
If the heavens do not tolerate me, I will strengthen myself, and the heavens will follow me.
Lu Yin took out a list of names from his cosmic ring. It was the same list that he had obtained from Guan Yun's mind, and he silently pondered over it.
The next day, Lu Yin found Concealed Light. Concealed Light was now his only subordinate in the group. Even if Zhuo Si had assigned the rest to him, the wastrels would not listen to him.
"What are you trying to do?" Concealed Light was astonished.
Lu Yin seriously replied, "You're tied to my interests. Because of me, you lost the chance to join the Frigid Immortal Sect. I'll give you another chance. There will definitely be resistance, and your achievements will be reported. The Four Directions Balance's junior ancestors are all from the Humble Class, and they can all see that your strength will definitely attract their attention."
Concealed Light smiled. "Looks like you want to play big. Why? Don't you want to be passive?"
Lu Yin laughed. "Being passive isn't my style. When have I ever been moved in the Fifth Mainland?"
Concealed Light nodded. "That's right. I've seen your achievements. From the Astral Combat Academy to the Master of the Outerverse, you've grasped the initiative and achieved many unimaginable things. I believe that you can do the same here."
"Looks like you're very interested." Lu Yin smiled.
Concealed Light smiled. "Why not?
I was just worrying about how to enter the eyes of the junior ancestors. How big can you get? "
Lu Yin thought about it. "It should be enough to attract the attention of the Nine Gates Superintendent."
Concealed Light nodded. "Alright."
According to Guan Yun's memories, Lu Yin had recorded down quite a few names. They were densely packed in Huaiyuan and its surroundings, covering almost half of the Middle Realm. These were all spies that Guan Yun had planted, and some of them were very important. Even Guan Yun himself would not use them, and he would only use them at the most crucial moments.
These spies were located in very important positions.
Aside from the most important ones, most of the spies were only there to help Guan Yun collect information on the humans, such as resources and other trivial matters. There were quite a few of them in Yinshan City.
Yinshan City was a place that provided entertainment for the hedonistic scions of the Humble Class headquarters. It didn't seem to have much value, but to be able to place their hedonistic scions in the Humble Class meant that their influence was not small. Some of them were even from the Four Directions Balance. These hedonistic scions seemed useless, but the information they had was enough to analyze many things.
Guan Yun had placed a total of five spies in Yinshan City, and they had been developed directly by him. These spies were also developing people to gather information. Although these people might not know that the information was being provided to the human race's greatest enemy, what was done was done.
On this day, in Fragrant Brothel, the white fatty Wang Dashuai was enjoying himself every night as usual. Lu Yin brought Concealed Light and a group of people who had once followed Mo Gaohe in.
"Oh, isn't this Captain Long?
Please come in, Captain Long. "An old woman warmly welcomed Lu Yin.
This was not the first time that Lu Yin had met her, and she was very familiar with the fatty. Every time he came to play, she would arrange for beautiful women to accompany him.
"Boss Gui, I'm looking for Miss Hanxiang," Lu Yin said. There was a rule in Fragrant Brothel that all the top hostesses were called Hanxiang.
The woman called Boss Gui smiled. "Captain Long, unfortunately, Miss Hanxiang is currently entertaining Captain Wang. Why don't you change to another one?"
Behind Lu Yin, the group of people who had followed Mo Gaohe all looked at Fragrant Brothel with gleaming eyes. Mo Gaohe and the white fatty had been very different from each other, and they had never been here before. Everything was new to them, and they all felt a rush.
"Since Captain Wang is here, I'll go find him," Lu Yin said, allowing Boss Gui to lead the way.
Boss Gui eagerly led the way, not suspecting anything. Lu Yin had always been treated by the white fatty, so it was normal for him to come looking for him.
Not long after, Lu Yin saw a beautiful and shy girl sitting in the white fatty's arms. This was the top hostess of Fragrant Brothel, Miss Hanxiang.
The white fatty had brought a group of people to pass the time, and when he saw Lu Yin, he immediately greeted him warmly. "Brother, you're here! How rare, you actually came to Fragrant Brothel of your own accord. Come, come, sit here."
Lu Yin beamed as he walked to the white fatty's side, bent down, and whispered something into his ear. The white fatty's expression changed, and Lu Yin suddenly grabbed Miss Hanxiang and threw her towards Concealed Light. She didn't even have time to react.
Everyone immediately stood up and glared at Lu Yin.
"What are you doing, Captain Long?" Boss Gui was shocked.
Miss Hanxiang was terrified. "Captain Long, I'll do whatever you want me to do."
The white fatty reacted as well, and he looked at Lu Yin suspiciously.
Lu Yin whispered, "If it's not true, I'll apologize."
The white fatty's eyes flickered as he looked at Miss Hanxiang.
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. "Captain Wang, did I do something wrong?
Why are you treating me like this? "
Anyone would sympathize with such a pitiful girl, and the white fatty's followers immediately surrounded Lu Yin's group. "Captain Long, you're going against us just because you chased Mo Gaohe away. That's not very nice of you."
"Captain Long, give us an explanation. Even if you're from the White Dragon Clan, we won't let this go."
"We won't let this go."
After Lu Yin left, Mo Gaohe's followers became even more excited. They were already at odds with the white fatty, and now they were all red in the face as they cursed loudly.
The white fatty raised a hand, his expression solemn. "Brother, are you sure you want to do this?"
Lu Yin seriously replied, "If I'm in the wrong, I'll definitely admit it."
The white fatty nodded and waved his hand. "Let them leave."
"Thank you," Lu Yin said before leading his group away.
Many people started discussing behind him, most of them saying that Lu Yin had refused to acknowledge Wang Dashuai after taking his position. They also said that he was a scoundrel who was intoxicated by success, or that he was scheming.
The white fatty's ears were filled with ridicule as well, but he had lived for many years and wasn't that shallow. If he was too stupid, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate to his current level. He was quite good at judging people, and this Draconic Seven wasn't Mo Gaohe. Besides, there was no benefit in going against him.
"Alright, alright, you're all dismissed. Come back tomorrow," the white fatty impatiently waved them away.
Boss Gui hurriedly pulled him back and begged, "Captain Wang, please save Miss Hanxiang. You're an honored guest of the Fragrant Brothel, and Miss Hanxiang has always liked you. When she heard that you were coming, she put aside the other guests to serve you. You can't leave her alone."
The white fatty was depressed. "Alright, I'll keep an eye on her." He then left the Fragrant Brothel, as he had to witness an outcome.
News of Draconic Seven kidnapping Miss Hanxiang in front of Wang Dashuai quickly spread throughout Yinshan City and caused a lot of discussion. Many people said that Draconic Seven was even more ruthless than Mo Gaohe. At the very least, Mo Gaohe wouldn't dare to casually step into Wang Dashuai's territory, as Draconic Seven could cause an earthquake in the Yin Mountain District.
Zhuo Si also heard the news, but he didn't care. He hadn't even cared about the hundred-man battle between Mo Gaohe and Wang Dashuai, let alone such a small matter. As for the Fragrant Brothel, it didn't matter to him at all.
Although the headquarters in the Yin Mountain District was a place for those good-for-nothings, there was still a prison for interrogating criminals. For the sake of face, those good-for-nothings had built a prison that was even more comprehensive than other poor families'. All kinds of punishments were available, including expert interrogators.
In less than an hour, that Miss Han Xiang had told him everything.
