One of the giants raised his hand, and Ghost Monkey raised his head proudly. "Ask."
"If it weren't for you, then the Alliance Master wouldn't have been Hidden Cry's match?"
The giant asked. He looked like a giant, but he was actually just a child. However, his body was just as huge.
Ghost Monkey was pleased. "That's right. Without me, Seventh Bro definitely wouldn't have been his match. Seventh Bro was still too weak back then. Of course, that was also because he was still young. The Ten Arbiters, Qiu Shi, and Hidden Cry were all older than him."
"Does that count as cheating?"
One of the giants asked.
Ghost Monkey waved his hand. "Of course not. I coexist with Seventh Bro, so how can that count as cheating?
If that's considered cheating, then Quiet Weep's horse is also considered cheating. Even your weapons are considered cheating. "
"Are you Seventh Bro's weapon, Marquis?"
"Of course not. I've gone through life and death with Seventh Bro. We're brothers."
"Marquis, you're amazing."
…
Ghost Monkey grew even more pleased with himself as he looked around. The giants' praises gave him a sense of accomplishment. In the Eternal Kingdom, those monsters wouldn't be able to do anything with a single hit, and those fellows from Lu Tianmen were too smart. Children were the best, as they were naive and pure. Ghost Monkey decided that he would teach these children in the future, and when they grew up, they would only worship him even more.
Suddenly, the giant children's eyes widened as they stared fervently in Ghost Monkey's direction.
Ghost Monkey was flabbergasted. Aren't these children's gazes a little too fervent?
No, I have to lower the temperature. Otherwise, if that bastard Ku Wei finds out, I'll be in trouble. That guy can't even beat a cheap fish.
"Long time no see, Monkey." A faint voice sounded from behind him.
Ghost Monkey subconsciously turned into a shadow and hid. Who had been so close to him without him noticing? If this was an enemy, then he was done for. Wait, why does this voice sound so familiar?
Ghost Monkey peeked out from the shadow of one of the giant children and looked in the same direction. His eyes widened. "Seventh … Seventh Bro?"
"Alliance Master!" the giant children shouted excitedly, their gazes filled with worship and fervor.
Lu Yin smiled. "Go play. I have something to talk to Ghost Monkey about."
"Yes, Alliance Master." The giant children reluctantly left, occasionally glancing at Lu Yin as if he was a hero.
The monkey came out, and he had a smile that only appeared when he saw the Celestial Ice Phoenixes. He pounced towards Lu Yin. "Seventh Bro, this monkey missed you so much!"
Lu Yin grabbed the monkey and entered the mirror.
The monkey looked around blankly. Where was this place?
"Take a look and see what this means." Lu Yin tossed the stone to the monkey.
Just as the monkey was about to flatter him, a stone was thrown at him. He subconsciously caught it and looked at it. "Eh? Words from that era?"
Lu Yin looked at the monkey, as he knew that the monkey would recognize him. Aside from the monkey, he could also look for Elder Chan or the Second Nightking. However, Elder Chan was wandering the universe, so it would be inconvenient to disturb him. The Second Nightking was hiding in the Glory Realm, so there was no need to look for him for the time being. The monkey was the most convenient option.
"Seventh Brother, are you saying that you're from the Lu Clan?"
The monkey translated.
"That's right. I'm a direct descendant of the Lu family. Who are you?"
The people in the fog were frightened.
With a bang, another rock fell out and hit the bottom of the monkey's feet.
The monkey picked it up. "I'm the Mistress that you're all talking about." The monkey's eyes went wide, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. He confirmed it again and then stared at Lu Yin in a daze. "She's the Mistress?"
Lu Yin's face sank, and he looked at the fog. "Are you messing with me?"
The monkey was furious. "Mistress, you bastard! Although the Mistress isn't famous, she's still one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. How can you be the Mistress? Why would she be trapped by her own fog?
Who do you think I'm an idiot? "
After cursing, the monkey felt much better, and he turned to look at Lu Yin. He licked his lips and smiled. "Seventh Bro, this guy is definitely a liar. He actually said that he's the Fog Ancestor. She-" But then, he felt that something was off with Lu Yin's gaze. "Seventh Bro?
What's wrong? "
Lu Yin stared at the monkey. "How do you know that the Mistress is one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas?"
Twenty years ago, even Lu Yin hadn't known who the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas were, and it had been Maiden who had told him. How did the monkey know?
The monkey hurriedly replied, "It's been spread around for a long time. Many people know about the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, and even the Twelve Heavenly Gates."
Lu Yin's brows relaxed. That made sense. There were no secrets in this era, and the secrets from back then had already been spread around.
After all, they hadn't even known about the Sixth Mainland back then.
The monkey's explanation was quite reasonable.
There was a thump as another stone fell to the ground. The monkey picked it up. "It says that I'm the Mistress." He then bared his teeth. "Seventh Brother, this guy is obviously a liar, and he's up to no good. He actually pretended to be the Mistress. Why didn't he pretend to be Ancestor Chen?"
Lu Yin stared at the fog. "If you're the Mistress, then why are you trapped in the fog?
Why would the Mistress be trapped by her own power? "
The stone flew out, and the monkey caught it. "I messed up."
Lu Yin blinked. "Just those three words?"
The monkey nodded.
Lu Yin looked at the fog. The Mistress' tone was rather casual. "How do you prove that you're the Mistress?"
The stone flew out. "How do you prove that you're Lu Yin?"
The monkey was enraged. "Seventh Brother, this guy actually dares to provoke you."
Lu Yin stared at the fog. "If you can't prove that you're the Mistress, then I'll seal this mirror forever. I won't open it until I become a Progenitor, or I might never open it. Your choice."
The stone flew out. "I don't know how to prove it, unless there's someone I know."
Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he took out Mount Supreme to release Yun Tingting.
Yun Tingting was confused. She had been inside the mirror from Mount Supreme, but it didn't seem like she was outside.
"The guy inside calls himself the Mistress. Prove it," Lu Yin said.
Yun Tingting was stunned. "The Mistress?"
Lu Yin nodded.
Yun Tingting immediately denied it. "How is that possible?" She looked into the distance and then around her. "Impossible. How could the Mistress be trapped by her own fog? That's impossible. She's a liar."
The monkey hurriedly agreed. "That's right, she's a liar. Seventh Brother, ignore her. She's a liar with bad intentions."
The stone flew out, and this time it hit the monkey's head. The monkey hurriedly caught it and translated, "You've already called her a liar three times. If you dare spout nonsense again, I'll skin you." The monkey was stunned, as this seemed to be directed at him.
At that moment, another stone flew out, and the monkey subconsciously caught it. "Seventh Brother, she says she doesn't know this girl."
Lu Yin looked at Yun Tingting. "Find a way to prove that she's the Mistress."
Yun Tingting immediately replied, "Definitely not. How could the Mistress be trapped by her own power?"
"I asked you to prove it, not to listen to your judgment." Lu Yin's face sank.
Yun Tingting was helpless, and she looked at the fog. "Let me ask you, what's the Mistress' greatest characteristic?"
A stone flew out.
The monkey picked it up and stared at the words on the stone. "Seventh Brother, she said that she's beautiful."
Lu Yin was stunned. "What?"
Yun Tingting was stunned as well.
"Beautiful." The monkey was speechless. Was that something a Progenitor would say?
Lu Yin looked at the fog. "Are you messing with me?
Then I won't keep you company. "
Another stone flew out. "You're from the Lu family. Find Lu Tianyi to prove my identity."
Lu Yin replied, "If I could find Ancestor Lu Tianyi, why would I need to find someone else?"
Yun Tingting asked, "Let me ask you, how many servants did you have back then?"
The stone flew out. "None."
Lu Yin's face sank. None?
He looked at Yun Tingting.
She frowned. "What about unacknowledged in-name disciples?"
"None."
Yun Tingting looked at Lu Yin. "It definitely isn't the Mistress. Otherwise, there's no way she wouldn't know about my Yun family's ancestor."
A stone flew out. "Yun family's ancestor?
There was a shameless person called Yunsan who stayed in the Mountain and Sea Realm. Apparently, he was being hunted down by his enemies. I pitied him, so I temporarily took him in and taught him the Minute Attraction Technique. "
Yun Tingting's eyes widened. "My ancestor's name was Yunsan."
Lu Yin raised a brow. Yunsan?
This name sounded like someone who had been hunted down. "Aside from your ancestor's name, is there any other way to prove that she's the Mistress?"
Yun Tingting thought about it. "According to the ancient records left behind by my ancestor," she suddenly stared at the fog. "How did Ancestor Yunsan address the Mistress when he first met her?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. The first address was obviously different from the later ones.
A stone flew out, and the monkey felt his teeth ache. It felt like it was gradually proving that the Mistress was indeed the Mistress. Although it was inconceivable, even someone from the Above Heavens era had appeared, so what was impossible? What if it really was the Mistress?
That was the Mistress, one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas. Offending her would result in being skinned alive.
The monkey gulped and looked at the stone. "Seventh Bro, it says' Big Sister Fairy '."
Yun Tingting suddenly knelt down. "Yun family's junior, Yun Tingting, greets the Mistress."
Lu Yin was astonished. "Are you sure?"
Yun Tingting respectfully replied, "Only my Yun family's ancestor knows this name, and he's only said it once in the ancient records. Aside from my Yun family's ancestor and the Mistress, no one else knows."
Lu Yin looked into the fog and was shocked. It really was the Mistress.
"This little monkey greets the Mistress. May Senior Mistress live forever. This little monkey welcomes Senior Mistress's return. Welcome back …" The monkey began to frantically flatter her.
Lu Yin looked into the fog, not daring to believe that one of the Nine Mountains and Eight Seas was right in front of him. He had asked Yun Tingting to verify that this person was a fake, but he had never expected that she would be the real deal. "Senior, why are you trapped here?
How can this junior get you out? "
The stone flew out, and this time, the monkey's attitude was much more sincere. It respectfully held the stone above its head and translated, "Your Lu family's Progenitors can open a crack and allow me to reveal some of my abilities. However, if you want to release me, you'll need to be stronger than me."
Lu Yin was helpless. "The Lu family has been exiled, and there are no longer any Progenitors in the universe. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
The stone flew out. "This is the Fifth Mainland?"
"Yes," Lu Yin replied.
The stone flew out. "Why aren't there any Progenitors?
Are all fourteen Progenitors dead? "
Lu Yin was stunned. Fourteen Progenitors?
That many?
