The others did not have much to say to Lu Yin, as Qing Chen must have already discussed this with them. Otherwise, how could a Hunter realm junior have such a reaction?
"Alright, Long Seven, time is of the essence. Cai Shu is already waiting for you outside, and I'll take you to the Humble Huaiyuan Sect. From now on, you are the acting sect master of the Humble Huaiyuan Sect. These seniors will teach you what to do in the future, but I hope that you will remove the word 'acting' as soon as possible. Do you understand?"
Qing Chen asked. Lu Yin's expression changed, and he slowly bowed. "This junior will not disappoint the seniors." He paused for a moment before continuing, "This subordinate will not disappoint the Superintendent." Qing Chen gestured for him to leave.
After Lu Yin left, an elder asked, "Superintendent, is this useful?
Our Humble School was originally established to ferret out the Seven Skygods, but after so many years, they are still living freely. Can this kid really fish out the Shaman Spirit God? "
Qing Chen sighed. "He's the only one who came into contact with Guan Yun's scarlet token, and the Shaman Spirit God can sense his aura. The Humble Huaiyuan Sect is located in a special location, and the Shaman Spirit God will not give up."
"With the Shaman Spirit God's methods, even Cai Shu's personal protection will be useless," someone else said.
Qing Chen replied, "I know."
They had already discussed this with Qing Chen, but Qing Chen's attitude had not changed.
Zhuo Si's eyes flashed. Using Long Seven as bait to fish out the Shaman Spirit God was too easy. This was one of the Seven Skygods, and even now, no one knew the true strength of the Seven Skygods. The Humble School was just a joke to them. He looked in the direction that Lu Yin had left, as Long Seven was in danger. He was like a signpost, and the Shaman Spirit God would definitely discover him.
Elsewhere, Lu Yin saw Cai Shu.
She smiled. "From now on, I'm your bodyguard, Long Seven."
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "Senior, please don't make fun of this junior."
Cai Shu smiled. "This isn't a joke. You're the sect master of the Humble School, and you represent the Humble School. Nothing can happen to you. Let's go to the Huaiyuan Sect." She then took out a piece of paper from her cosmic ring and began to fold it.
Lu Yin raised his brows when he saw the white paper. This was it! He had found more than two hundred pieces of paper in Long Tian and the others' cosmic rings, but he had no idea how to use them.
He watched as Cai Shu slowly folded the paper until it formed a small boat that was a few meters long. She boarded the boat and looked at Lu Yin. "Come on, let's go."
Shouldn't a piece of paper the size of a palm be smaller when folded?
How could it become bigger?
It was amazing.
Long Tian and the others had more or less blank sheets of paper, which meant that these things weren't very precious. They were definitely common knowledge, so Lu Yin didn't ask.
The small boat folded by Bai Zhi flew up and headed in the direction of Huaiyuan. Its speed was quite fast, not much slower than Hou.
Lu Yin touched his cosmic ring. These pieces of paper were equivalent to a spacecraft in this universe!
But it was more convenient than a spaceship.
"Senior, how are the people on this junior's list?" Lu Yin asked.
Cai Shu replied, "Aside from Xia Tai Li, everyone else is fine."
"Xia Tai Li can't come?" Lu Yin was secretly delighted. That girl had been a smokescreen all along.
Cai Shu replied, "She's still the princess of the Xia family. Xia Shenfei is currently trapped in the Sovereign Realm, and the Xia family won't let anything happen to Xia Tai Li. Whether or not she can come to Huaiyuan will depend on the Xia family's arrangements."
Lu Yin feigned disappointment. "We worked together quite well in the Sovereign Realm. It would be a pity if she couldn't come."
Cai Shu looked at Lu Yin with a smile. "Is that the only reason?"
Lu Yin replied, "Of course."
Cai Shu shook her head. "You don't have to hide it from me. I know that you want to use Xia Tai Li's status as the princess of Shenwu Plane. That's a good idea. With Xia Tai Li on your side, you'll be able to do many things more easily.
However, I have to remind you not to use her. She's not stupid, and Shenwu Plane won't allow a son-in-law of the White Dragon Clan to use their princess. You have to be careful. "
Lu Yin blinked. That seemed to be the case, but he had never thought about it. He had just used Xia Tai Li as a cover. The reason he had chosen Xia Tai Li over Wu Taibai was because Lu Yin had always been wary of this person. Xia Tai Li was clearly from Shenwu Plane, but he had betrayed it. He had even taken the Martial Ancestor as his master on the Sixth Mainland and imprinted on the Martial Ancestor. During the battle in the Meditative Ruins, he had not used his imprint. He had hidden too much.
The more he acted like this, the more Lu Yin felt uneasy. He was not even as good as Xia Tai Li.
But would Xia Tai Li be on his side?
Lu Yin licked his lips. Maybe, maybe, probably, but definitely not.
While Lu Yin was following Cai Shu to the Huaiyuan Plains, Wang Dashuai was being held captive on the Wang family's Junior Progenitor Planet. He was tied to a bridge that connected the planet to Wangyu, and he was swinging back and forth as he screamed in pain.
"I didn't do it on purpose, no! Save me, Junior Progenitor, Junior Progenitor, please come back …" Wang Dashuai's screams pitied many, but of course, there were even more who took pleasure in his misfortune.
A ruffian from the Wang family had somehow managed to find two experts to accompany the Junior Progenitor to the Sovereign Realm. He had ascended to the heavens in a single step and had even been given the privilege of choosing experts for the Junior Progenitor. That had been the peak of Wang Dashuai's life. He, Yu Chen, Xia Tai Li, and Long Xi had stood on the bridge together and looked down on many experts. It could be said that their names had spread throughout the Astral Tree.
However, fate loved to joke around. Wang Dashuai had been looking forward to the Junior Progenitor's return and his own advancement, but what he had received instead was the fact that Wu Taibai and Wu Taibai were stowaways. He had been dumbfounded and felt as if the sky had collapsed. His brain had turned to mush, and by the time he had reacted, he was already tied up under the bridge.
"I really didn't know! Save me!" Wang Dashuai screamed.
In the distance, Nong Sanniang rolled her eyes and sighed. It was useless to shout for help. Who asked this fatty to find two stowaways at once? How interesting. If she didn't know this guy's background, she wouldn't have believed that he wasn't a stowaway.
The ups and downs of life were just that fast.
In the Ancestral Gazing Tower, many experts who had been eliminated by Wang Dashuai cheered. They were glad that they hadn't gone to the Sovereign Realm back then.
After a while, on the Junior Progenitor Planet, an expert dragged Wang Dashuai up and said with a cold expression, "There are orders from the family. Quickly report to the Humble School of Huaiyuan. From now on, you will be a member of the Humble School of Huaiyuan."
Wang Dashuai was still in shock, and when he heard this, he was confused. "The Humble School of Huaiyuan?"
The first thing he thought of was the three Guan brothers. Could it be that they had been cleared of being a redback? He knew that Long Seven was unreliable. He was the master of the Humble School of Huaiyuan, so how could he be a redback? It was over. Wang Dashuai had fought with the Humble School of Huaiyuan before.
Right, Wu Taibai was Long Seven's old friend, and Wu Taibai was from the Humble School of Huaiyuan. It was all related to Long Seven. Long Seven was a bastard. How could Wang Dashuai treat him as a brother? This universe was full of scams. The era of brotherhood was gone forever.
"I'm not going! I don't want to go!" Wang Dashuai immediately shouted. He wanted to tie himself up and jump off the bridge. He would rather wander around here than go to the Humble School of Huaiyuan. Any random mission there could end his life.
"You don't have a choice. Scram!" The person dragged Wang Dashuai up and threw him out. There were people from the Humble School waiting outside.
On the Junior Progenitor Planet, Xia Taili was shocked. "What?
You want me to join the Humble School of Huaiyuan?
Who said that?
Is there something wrong with their head? Do I need to go? "
There was an old woman in front of Xia Taili. She smiled and respectfully said, "Long Seven has been appointed as the acting master of the Humble School of Huaiyuan. He said that he would bring a few acquaintances with him who could assist him, so he wrote down your name. Of course, you don't have to go if you don't want to."
Xia Taili's mouth fell open in shock. "Long Seven?
The acting master of the Humble School of Huaiyuan?
Long Seven? "
"Yes, Long Seven," the old woman replied.
Xia Taili was speechless. "The son-in-law of the White Dragon Clan's main bloodline?
Long Seven? "
The old woman nodded again.
"Isn't he a Hunter?
What kind of sect master is he?
Who asked him to be?
Did you hear wrong? He's a gatekeeper, not a sect master, "Xia Taili asked strangely.
The old woman coughed. "Absolutely. He's the acting master of the Humble School of Huaiyuan, Long Seven."
Xia Taili felt like she had seen a ghost. She had thought that Long Xi's disappearance meant that Long Seven would be isolated and helpless in the White Dragon Clan. He would also have to face the retaliation of some people from the Frigid Immortal Sect, which would make his life miserable. She had never expected that this guy would become the master of the Humble School of Huaiyuan in the blink of an eye.
Even the Fourth Young Ancestor would at most be the Humble School's Chief of Battle. There was still a considerable distance between him and the position of School Master. To put it nicely, this was the position of a feudal official, in charge of the lives and deaths of countless people. It was perfectly justifiable to frame someone. Wait, justifiable?
Xia Taili's eyes lit up. Framing, retaliation, framing … All sorts of words appeared in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She had never played such games before, so she clapped her hands. "Let's go to the Humble School of Huaiyuan."
The old woman was shocked. "You want to go?
Actually, you don't have to go. No one can force you. "
Xia Taili rolled her eyes. "Long Seven is an old friend of mine. How can I not go when an old friend is asking for help? How disloyal. Hurry up and send me to Huaiyuan."
The old woman hurriedly nodded.
On Planet Frigid Immortal's Junior Ancestor, Shang Qing faced an elder from the Frigid Immortal Sect and answered his questions word by word.
Ever since he had returned to Planet Frigid Immortal's Junior Ancestor, he had been asked the same question every two days. It was all because he was from the Nest and was looked down upon. Before the trip to the Sovereign Realm, everyone had been polite to him because Bai Shaohong relied on him. Now that Bai Shaohong was trapped, everyone's attitude towards him was completely different.
"The Junior Ancestor was fighting with someone in the Oblivion Ruins. Why didn't you help?" asked the elder from the Frigid Immortal Sect solemnly.
"I had an opponent as well. It was someone called Yao Xuan. Every time he attacked, he wanted to kill me. His spiritual energy attacks were extremely powerful," Shang Qing answered in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Didn't you know he was a stowaway?"
"I didn't."
"Didn't you suspect him?"
"No."
"Did the Junior Ancestor have any orders for you?"
"No. We all had our own opponents."
"How did Dong He die?"
"I didn't see him."
…
Shang Qing could only answer one question after another.
He had already met a few important people from the Frigid Immortal Sect, but none of them had been able to thoroughly investigate his identity. After all, he was from the Nest.
