She was curious. "What's the matter?"
The white fatty did not know how to explain. The Ruler's Realm was not common knowledge, and not just anyone could know about it. If they failed, then Obscurity and Yu Hua might not even be qualified to know.
"No matter what, the Wang family of the Four Cardinal Scales will not mistreat you," Lu Yin said.
Ascension Mavis nodded.
The white fatty looked at Lu Yin gratefully. "Brother, I'll take them to the Wang family, but I'll probably be back after a while. Thank you for your hard work. Feel free to go to Savory Brothel, and I'll pay for everything."
Lu Yin smiled. "Thank you."
"Haha, we're good friends." The white fatty was very happy. Junior Ancestor Wang Su had ordered the entire Wang family to search for experts of the same generation who were qualified to accompany her to the Ruler's Realm, and he had found two of them. Regardless of whether they succeeded or not, it was still a contribution, and he was very happy.
Not long after, the white fatty left the Yin Mountain District with Obscurity and Yu Hua, heading for the Top Realm.
Lu Yin returned to his residence and waited quietly.
Less than an hour later, the Cloudconnect Stone vibrated. He was helpless; what was to come had come.
Long Xi's beautiful image appeared in front of Lu Yin. Her expression was cold, and her eyes were filled with anger. "Do you have anything to say?"
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Sorry, I had no choice."
Long Xi angrily rebuked him. "Do you know what you've done?
You're playing with fire. You're just a Hunter, and you dare to go against the Humble Huaiyuan Sect's sect master? You're just relying on a piece of unknown information, and you dare to make a bet? Where did you get your confidence from?
Who gave you the confidence?
Do you know?
If you fail, it won't just be you. Me, Long Tian, and the entire White Dragon Clan will become the laughingstock of the Astral Tree Realm. "
"There has never been peace between the Four Cardinal Scales, and we've fought and schemed against each other. You almost became the White Dragon Clan's biggest weakness …"
Lu Yin rubbed his head as he listened to Long Xi's reprimand. He knew that she was angry, but he had not expected her to be this angry.
"You actually dared to ignore my calls? Do you think that you can do whatever you want just because you've made a few contributions?
Do you think that everyone will help you?
If it weren't for your status as the son-in-law of the White Dragon Clan's main bloodline, you would've died long ago.
Lu Yin frowned. "If it weren't for my status, no one would have tried to deal with me."
"You agreed to this identity, so you have to bear the consequences. In this life, life and death, you and I are one. If you want to live, then listen to me," said Long Xi angrily.
Lu Yin retorted, "Can you stop that woman called Yu Chen from scheming?
Can you stop the three Guan brothers from forcing me? "
"But I can protect your life," Long Xi shouted. She then softened her tone. "That's enough. I don't ask you to bring glory to the White Dragon Tribe, and I don't ask you to reach great heights. As long as you're alive, that's enough."
Lu Yin's heart trembled. Long Xi's words actually made him feel a sense of warmth. Many people truly wanted him to live, regardless of their motives. He could feel Long Xi's sincerity, her sincerity to let him live without seeking fame and glory.
"I'm sorry," he apologized.
Long Xi stared at Lu Yin for a moment before exhaling, "The three Guan brothers must have known about the monster under Crimson Orchid City a long time ago. They didn't intend to fulfill their bet when they lured you to Crimson Orchid City. Instead, they wanted to use that monster to get rid of you. For that, they wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice millions of lives in Crimson Orchid City.
Lu Yin shook his head.
Long Xi frowned and muttered, "Human nature."
Lu Yin's expression changed.
Long Xi continued, "Anyone who defected to those monsters is inhumane, especially the Redbacks. Did you think that you could take the initiative just because you knew that the three Guan brothers were Redbacks?
You're wrong. They're inhumane and will do anything to achieve their goals. One wrong step and you'll never be able to make a comeback. Even if your information is true, you could still fall into their trap and die without a grave. Not to mention, there's no way to verify the authenticity of the information.
"If that information came from Yu Chen, then all your schemes would have been for naught. Not only would you lose your reputation, but you would also lose your life.
"I'm only saying this in hopes that you won't act recklessly in the future. Your words and actions don't just represent yourself, but also me. Remember, I'm your wife. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, I'll always be your wife."
Lu Yin nodded, "I understand."
Long Xi had completely vented her frustrations. Seeing Lu Yin nod his head honestly, she should choose to believe him, but for some reason, the more honest he was, the more uneasy she felt. No, she had to retire immediately. She was most worried about that unknown source of information. What was their goal? Was it purely to help Draconic Seven?
How was that possible? Long Seven was just a branch of the White Dragon Clan. Who would be willing to help him and the White Dragon Clan?
Why didn't they contact her or Long Tian directly?
That unknown source of information was what made her most uneasy.
"Long Seven, I'll say this one last time. Stay at the headquarters in the Yin Mountain Region and don't go anywhere. Remember, even if Zhuo Si gives the order, you're not allowed to leave. You've made enough contributions to retire, and my brother has already contacted the Nine Gate Deans. Wait until you retire and Elder Long Kui comes to pick you up."
Lu Yin was stunned, "Elder Long Kui is already here?"
Long Xi's eyes narrowed, "He's on the way and will be here soon. No matter what, you're not allowed to leave until Elder Long Kui shows up."
Lu Yin was speechless. It seemed like this girl was scared out of her wits to send Elder Long Kui. Even if he hadn't retired, she would probably have Elder Long Kui keep watch outside and not allow him to leave the headquarters.
Why didn't she trust him?
What did she just say?
Long Tian had already contacted Qing Chen?
Lu Yin felt a little guilty, "Ahem, my stomach hurts. That's all for now. Let's wait for Elder Long Kui to come. Don't contact me for now, I'm tired."
Long Xi looked at Lu Yin and felt that something was off, but when she saw how obedient he was, she knew that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. "Stay here obediently. If you dare leave again, I'll make you suffer when we return to Dragon Mountain."
"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Yin just wanted to end the call as soon as possible.
Long Xi snorted and the image disappeared.
Lu Yin heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to throw the Cloudconnect Stone away. He didn't know why, but he was a little afraid of seeing Long Xi.
While Lu Yin and Long Xi were talking, Long Tian contacted the Nine Gates Superintendent, Qing Chen.
Looking at Qing Chen's helpless expression, Long Tian was at a loss, "What does he mean by serving the poor and not asking for battle achievements? He just wants to do what he can for his fellow clansmen and fight against the enemies from outside?
What does he mean by risking his life?
Did Long Seven say all of this? "
Qing Chen nodded and praised, "The White Dragon Tribe is indeed one of the Four Scales. For the sake of humanity, a random branch clan member is willing to sacrifice themselves. I'm impressed."
Long Tian was stunned, "Senior, Long Seven is just a Hunter. How can he do anything?
Is there a misunderstanding? "
Qing Chen sternly replied, "You're underestimating Long Seven. He was able to expose the three Guan brothers as Redbacks. This clansman of yours has great foresight, courage, and courage. Even more commendable, he's willing to sacrifice his entire life for humanity. He's worthy of respect and admiration. He's only joined the poor for two months, but his battle achievements have already surpassed those of the Shu Plains' seniors."
Long Tian suddenly interrupted, "That's what I think." "There's no need to say more. I'm well aware that he'll be rewarded handsomely. I've already reported this to the Governor, and he's very happy. He's even ordered Long Seven to join the Fourteenth Gate. A talent like him shouldn't be limited to a single region. What do you think?" Qing Chen asked.
Long Tian was shocked, "The Fourteenth Gate?"
Qing Chen nodded, "This is the Governor's wish. This child, Long Seven, has an innate ability to see through people, and he's very suitable for the Fourteenth Gate. He'll patrol the Astral Tree Domain on behalf of the Governor.
Good my ass! What kind of innate ability is that? Even with Long Tian's self-restraint, he almost cursed out loud. It was someone else who had told him about Long Seven, and that was why he had been so anxious to take him away. He hadn't expected this old man to do something like this.
The Fourteenth Gate wasn't like the Yinshan District or the Huaiyuan District. Once someone joined, it would be difficult for them to leave, unless they failed to complete their mission and were expelled. That would be too embarrassing.
Even with Long Tian's status as the White Dragon Clan's young ancestor, it was impossible for him to get Long Seven to leave the Fourteenth Gate. This was troublesome. This was really troublesome. He was one step too late.
"Senior, Long Seven has already joined the Fourteenth Gate?
It can't be that fast. "Long Tian didn't believe him.
Qing Chen replied, "He's already joined. Why would I lie to you?"
Long Tian knew that Qing Chen wouldn't lie to him about something like this, so he was irritated. "Senior, since that's the case, I'll take my leave first."
Qing Chen nodded. After Long Tian's image disappeared, Qing Chen's lips curled up. He didn't care how Long Seven had exposed the Guan brothers, nor did he care about the source of the information. As someone from a humble family, all he wanted to do was capture the spy and Redback. They only cared about the human race, and they didn't care about the Frigid Immortal Sect or the White Dragon Clan.
Based on Long Seven's current performance, he was qualified to join the Fourteenth Gate, and he was also suitable for it. That was enough.
At the same time, Qing Chen admired Long Seven from the bottom of his heart. Long Seven had dared to fight back against the Huaiyuan Humble School's sect master and the Frigid Immortal Sect's scheme. He was bold and careful, and Qing Chen liked him very much. Joining the Fourteenth Gate would be another form of protection.
The Governor cared most about the people in the Fourteenth Gate, and anyone who dared to touch them would die. As long as Long Seven had the ability to stay in the Fourteenth Gate, then he would have the Governor's protection. Even the Frigid Immortal Sect wouldn't be able to touch him.
This was also a bit of Qing Chen's selfishness!
It could also be considered a reward for Long Seven.
Being retired and living a peaceful life of mediocrity was better than being dead!
"Kid, I hope you don't disappoint me," Qing Chen muttered to himself.
At the headquarters in the Yin Mountain District, Lu Yin's Inkstone vibrated, and he glanced at it. Eh?
It wasn't Long Xi?
He accepted the call, and a line of words appeared. "Yin Mountain District's Humble School Captain, Long Seven, will join the Fourteenth Gate from today onwards. Every year, you will be assigned ten spies to patrol the Astral Trees and ensure the prosperity of the human race. From today onwards, head to the Sword Stele to take a look. The mission will be issued soon. Fourteenth Gate's Sect Master — Owl."
