Where's Lu Yin?
Lu Yin really wanted to take away all of the star essence on Junior Progenitor Planet, but he knew that it was impossible, at least for now. He couldn't allow any accidents to happen just because of a few star essence. However, that didn't matter. As long as Long Tian and the others were trapped in the Sovereign's Realm, Junior Progenitor Planet would not disappear. There would always be a way, so Lu Yin decided to set it aside for now.
Chi flew past the Ancestral Gazing Tower, past the Gazing Isle, and arrived above the Central Calm Sea in the blink of an eye.
"How did you get separated from the princess?" Long Kui asked. Someone had already asked him this question.
At the mention of Long Xi, Lu Yin pretended to be sad and even a little nervous. "There were too many withered creatures, and they didn't die even after being attacked. Instead, they became more and more powerful. We were attacked, and we were all scattered."
Long Kui frowned, as the clan had long known this answer. During the two months that Lu Yin had been back, the clan had not only tried to think of a way to save Junior Ancestor Long Tian, but they had also tried their best to search for Long Xi's whereabouts. However, the Ruler's Realm was not an ordinary place. Although Half-Ancestors could enter, they had to be more careful than anyone else. In the end, they had failed to find anything.
When Lu Yin saw that Long Kui was about to ask more questions, he hurriedly said, "Elder, how will the clan treat me?"
His expression was very perturbed, filled with hesitation and confusion about the future.
Looking at Lu Yin, Long Kui lost interest in asking more questions. Among all of them, Long Qi was the one who did not want anything to happen to Long Xi. If something happened to Long Xi, this person would have a hard time in the White Dragon Tribe. Not only the White Dragon Tribe, but also the people he had offended before would find trouble with him more easily.
The White Dragon Clan had never doubted Lu Yin. No matter how they analyzed it, Lu Yin did not want anything to happen to Long Xi. He valued Long Xi more than Long Tian. The White Dragon Clan was sure of this.
"Don't worry. News that hasn't been confirmed to be the princess is still good news. Perhaps it won't be long before the princess returns," Long Kui said. His attitude towards Lu Yin was much better than before. Perhaps it was out of pity, but Long Kui knew that the tribe's attitude towards Long Seven was definitely not good. This person would definitely not have a good time at Dragon Mountain.
Lu Yin sighed and looked into the distance. "Nothing must happen!"
Not long after, the void in front of them cracked open, as if a fault had appeared in the sky.
He stopped abruptly and stared ahead warily.
Long Kui's expression was grave. An emissary was blocking their way.
A man and a woman walked out of the spatial fault and calmly looked at Long Kui.
When Long Kui saw who it was, his expression turned even uglier. "So it's Mister Liu Ye and Big Sister Feihua. May I know why you two are blocking my path?"
Lu Yin looked curiously at the man and woman in front of him. The man was Mr. Liu Ye, whom he had met at the Ancestral Gazing Tower. The woman, on the other hand, looked ordinary, but her figure was very hot. Although she wasn't considered beautiful, she gave people a very comfortable feeling. It was just that her cheekbones were slightly high and her lips were thin, making her look a little mean.
These two were a team, Flying Willow Leaves and Flowers. They were extremely famous in the Middle Level World, and even Long Kui feared them. As for why they had come, there was no need to guess. It was definitely because of Half-Ancestor Kui Luo.
Up ahead, Mr. Liu Ye took a step forward and smiled. "This junior has been waiting here for Senior, and I sincerely hope that Senior can understand. I have a question for Little Brother Long Seven."
Long Kui frowned. "Mr. Liu Ye, I respect you as a humble guest who helped capture Redback, which is a great contribution to the human race. I won't pursue the matter of you blocking my path, but I'm not afraid of you. I've already said that Long Seven only obtained a portion of Half-Ancestor Kui Luo's resources, and it doesn't even count as an inheritance. You also believed me at the Ancestral Gazing Tower, but now you're joining forces with Big Sister Feihua to block my path.
Difficult.
Your words at the Ancestral Gazing Tower don't count? "
Mr. Liu Ye did not speak, and Feihua walked out from behind him. "Senior Long Kui, I'm the one asking this question. I didn't say that I believed that brat's nonsense."
Long Kui frowned, as this woman's words were annoying.
Mr. Liu Ye growled, "Feihua, watch your words."
Feihua snorted and stared at Lu Yin. "Brat, if you're a man, then don't cower. Although Half-Ancestor Kui Luo is loathed by others, he never hid his actions and dared to take responsibility for them. Since you've obtained his inheritance, then don't embarrass him." Lu Yin was speechless.
Had Half-Ancestor Kui Luo dared to take responsibility for his actions?
He had done it on purpose. Otherwise, how could Lu Yin satisfy his crazy hobby? "Senior, this junior really only obtained a bit of resources. It's just like how you lost your wallet while walking, and this junior just happened to pick it up. Could it be that I've picked up Senior's inheritance?"
Feihua stared at him. "I don't believe you."
Lu Yin opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say.
Long Kui barked, "Sister Feihua, Long Seven said that he doesn't know, and that means that he doesn't know. Anyone who asks, including the Nine Gates Superintendent or the Master of the Four Sides Scales, still doesn't know. Move aside immediately, or my White Dragon Tribe will view this as a provocation."
Feihua gritted her teeth and stared at Lu Yin. "That matter has always been a sore point for Master. Even after his death, I still have to ask him about it. Brat, where did you obtain his inheritance?"
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat, as he was afraid that others would investigate. The more they investigated, the more loopholes they would find. "Senior, this junior really doesn't know. There's no point in you forcing me to answer, and there's no point in interrogating me either."
Long Kui was enraged when he heard this. You still want to interrogate me?
Tian Hou roared at the sky, and Long Kui's spear appeared and he pointed it at Liu Yefei. "Are you trying to provoke my White Dragon Tribe?"
Mr. Liu Ye hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Feihua's path. He apologized to Long Kui, saying, "Senior, this junior was rude. It's just that my heart is too heavy, and Master died because of this as well. That's why I lost my composure. Please forgive me." He then looked at Lu Yin with a deep gaze. "Little brother, it seems like you really don't know. We've offended you." He then raised a hand, causing a willow leaf to bloom, and threw it at Lu Yin.
Long Kui was surprised, but he did not stop him.
Lu Yin caught it curiously.
"This is a power vessel, the Flying Willow Leaf Flower. It's something that belonged to the two of us, and it's a gift to you as an apology. We've offended you today." He then stepped aside and pulled Feihua away.
Feihua was still unwilling, but she did not block Lu Yin's path again.
"Thank you," Long Kui said in a low voice before Tian Hou sprinted away.
As she watched Tian Hou's figure disappear, Feihua gritted her teeth and asked, "Why did you let them go?
Once that brat returns to Dragon Mountain, it'll be very difficult for him to come out. We won't be able to ask him even if we wanted to. "
Mr. Liu Ye replied, "That's why I gave him the Flying Willow Leaf Flower. If he doesn't come out, then we'll pretend that he doesn't exist. Once he does, I'll immediately know where he is. You saw the situation just now, and even if he knows, he won't say anything. If he does, then countless people in this region will cause trouble for him. Long Kui won't let him say anything either, even if it means starting a war with us."
"Let's fight then. Are we afraid of Long Kui?
At worst, we'll just join the Humble School, "Feihua said.
Mr. Liu Ye shook his head. "There's no need to fall out with the White Dragon Clan. Let's wait. As long as that brat leaves Dragon Mountain, we'll have a chance."
In the distance, on Tian Hou's back, Lu Yin curiously looked at the Flying Willow Leaf Flower.
It was a rare treasure, and it was not an ordinary one either. He could sense the hidden power within it.
"That's a Flying Willow Leaf Flower power vessel that was jointly created by Liu Ye and Feihua. In this region of space, it's a rather good defensive power vessel, and they rarely give it away. You've gotten lucky," Long Kui said.
Lu Yin was curious. "What do they want to ask?"
Long Kui's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lu Yin. "Do you want to know?"
Lu Yin blinked. "No."
"Then don't ask. Don't ask anyone else." Long Kui's tone was unpleasant.
Lu Yin answered, "Are we going to the Top Realm now?"
Long Kui did not answer.
This guy's attitude had changed again. Old man, I'll deal with you sooner or later.
Lu Yin looked at the Central Plain Realm. Why hadn't the fish taken the bait yet?
If they really went to Dragon Mountain, then it would be very difficult for them to leave. Was the bait not enough?
Seeing that they were about to leave the Central Plain, Lu Yin grew increasingly anxious.
On this day, Long Kui's cloudvision stone trembled, and Lu Yin did not know who he was talking to. Lu Yin could vaguely hear Long Kui mention Cleardust Mountain, and he was secretly delighted.
Long Kui put down the cloudvision stone and pondered for a moment. He then patted Hou's back and suddenly changed directions, heading in a different direction in the Central Plain Realm.
Lu Yin was curious. "Why did you change directions?"
This time, Long Kui spoke. "Go to Cleardust Mountain."
Lu Yin was puzzled.
Long Kui said, "Cleardust Mountain is where the superintendent of the Nine Humble Schools, Senior Cleardust, resides. Senior Cleardust wants you to assist in investigating some matters regarding the Guan brothers."
Lu Yin was confused. "Weren't Guan Tong and Guan Hai taken away by Senior Cleardust?
What else does he want me to do? "
Long Kui shook his head. "This is a matter of the Humble School, so I'm not sure. Think carefully about what you know and help Senior Cleardust deal with it as soon as possible. I'll wait for you outside Cleardust Mountain."
"Oh," Lu Yin answered, and his lips curled up. Wait?
Don't wait, as he would never be able to do so in this lifetime. There was no way he would go to Dragon Mountain.
Even if he wanted to go to the Top Realm to investigate the Lu family, he would not do so with his current identity. If he did, he would only be put under house arrest.
Twelve days later, Lu Yin saw Cleardust Mountain in the distance.
Cleardust Mountain was where Cleardust resided. Not only were there many experts from the Humble School, but there were also many of Cleardust's disciples.
Lu Yin was led into Cleardust Mountain by one of the disciples. As for Long Kui, he really did wait outside without entering.
When it came to matters involving the Humble School, there were some things that Long Kui wanted to avoid as much as possible.
At the peak of Cleardust Mountain, Lu Yin saw the superintendent of the Nine Humble Schools, Qing Chen. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. "The Fourteenth Gate's Long Seven greets the superintendent."
Qing Chen nodded in satisfaction. He had single-handedly arranged for Lu Yin to enter the Fourteenth Gate. He did not care about the struggle for the Four Cardinal Scales, nor did he care about the motives of the unknown source of information behind Lu Yin. He only cared about one thing, which was that Lu Yin had been able to find a spy for the Humble School and Redback. That was enough.
"Long Seven, it's good that you've returned safely. I heard that the trip to the Sovereign Realm was very dangerous, and there were even stowaways involved," Qing Chen said gently.
Lu Yin respectfully replied, "Yes, those stowaways from the abandoned lands are too cunning. Even Junior Ancestor did not discover them."
Qing Chen sighed. "There have been stowaways in the past. Forget it, let's not think about them. Do you know why I sent you here?"
Lu Yin shook his head.
