Wu Taibai stepped forward and climbed up the pillar, arriving outside Lu Yin's courtyard. He looked at Lu Yin with a strange expression, "Mister Haoyu has been in the academy for half a month, but I've never met you before. Sorry for disturbing you today."
Lu Yin smiled, "You must be Mister Wu. Please come in."
Wu Taibai walked into the courtyard, and Lu Yin calmed himself down and poured a cup of tea for him, "I've also heard of Mister Wu's name. I heard that you're the only Enlighter in the academy to break through the Eighteen Horizontal Arrays. You're truly admirable."
Wu Taibai smiled. "It's not strange for us to be able to do it at our age. Many people have already broken through to become Emissaries. For example, Mister Haoyu, you're an Emissary powerhouse. You'll definitely be able to break through the Eighteen Horizontal Arrays.
Lu Yin found it strange when he saw Wu Taibai. With Wu Taibai's innate talent, he should have become an Emissary already. He wasn't imprisoned in Mount Supreme, nor was he in the Fifth Mainland that had been devoured by the Astral Source Universe.
Lu Yin estimated that the geniuses of the Astral Tree Domain should have all become Emissaries, but Wu Taibai hadn't.
"Even as an Emissary, I'm not confident that I can break through the Eighteen Horizontal Arrays. Mister Wu thinks too highly of me and underestimates himself," Lu Yin said modestly.
Wu Taibai smiled and sipped his tea, seemingly deep in thought.
Lu Yin wasn't in a hurry, as Wu Taibai's visit definitely had something to do with Xia Shenguang.
After a while, Wu Taibai put down his teacup, "Actually, I'm here to apologize to Mister Haoyu."
Lu Yin was surprised, "What do you mean?
I've never met Mister Wu, so why would I apologize? "
Wu Taibai replied, "Mister Haoyu must have met Xia Shenguang."
Lu Yin nodded.
Wu Taibai said, "I belong to Shenwu Heaven, and Xia Shenguang is the most outstanding descendant of this generation of Shenwu Heaven. Since Xia Shenguang was rude to you, as a senior, I must apologize. I'm truly sorry, Mr. Hao Yu."
Lu Yin hurriedly said, "It's not a big deal, Mister Wu. Xia Shenguang is just a student. Why would I bother with a student?"
Wu Taibai smiled, "I know that Mister Haoyu is magnanimous and won't bother with such a small matter. There's a second reason for my visit."
"Tell me about it," Lu Yin said, even though he already knew the answer. He had already guessed that it had something to do with Wen Zhao. If that was really the case, then Xia Shenguang's reaction would be related to the Shenwu Plane. The Shenwu Plane had set their sights on Dean Wen of Yi Xian Academy.
Wu Taibai muttered to himself, "It's not nice to say this out loud, but I still have to say it." He looked at Lu Yin seriously, "Forgive my rudeness, but what exactly is the relationship between Mister Hao Yu and Mister Wen?"
Lu Yin frowned. "Mr. Wu, you don't believe in the academy's rumors as well, do you?"
Wu Taibai chuckled, "Of course not. It's just that the headmaster has arranged for Mister Haoyu to stay here, which puzzles me, so I would like to know what Mister Haoyu's intentions are."
Lu Yin stared at Wu Taibai. "What does Mr. Wu want me to do?"
Wu Taibai and Lu Yin looked at each other for a moment before retracting their gazes. "Mr. Haoyu should already know that Xia Shenguang likes Mr. Wen, so Mr. Haoyu hopes that Mr. Haoyu can fulfill their wish. In return, Mr. Haoyu can ask for anything."
Lu Yin thought to himself that, as expected, the Shenwu Plane had set their sights on Dean Wen. This was interesting, and Lu Yin wanted to be a part of this.
"The rumors are false. I have nothing to do with Mister Wen. Even if that's the case, does Shenwu Heaven have such intentions?"
Lu Yin asked.
Wu Taibai nodded. "The Shenwu Plane doesn't like surprises. Of course, if Mister Haoyu is unwilling, then we'll have a fair competition. I'm here to apologize on behalf of Xia Shenguang."
Wu Taibai's attitude was very proper, and he did not threaten or coerce Lu Yin. It could only be considered a lure. However, the words "Shenwu Plane" were a threat.
Lu Yin smiled. "Mr. Wu, you don't understand why the headmaster arranged for me to stay here, but I can tell you."
Wu Taibai straightened his body.
Lu Yin said, "A learning domain."
Wu Taibai was astonished. "A learning domain?"
Lu Yin nodded. "My cultivation of a domain has reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm, and I'm only one step away from the Void God Realm. This step is too difficult to cross, and the headmaster kindly arranged for me to stay beside Mister Tang so that I can frequently consult Mister Tang. You've misunderstood."
Wu Taibai laughed. "If that's the case, then perhaps we really did misunderstand. However, this is also a blessing in disguise. We know that Mister Haoyu is about to break through to the Void God Realm, and Shenwu Plane will definitely congratulate you on the day you break through."
After a few more polite exchanges, Wu Taibai said his goodbyes and left. Before he left, he looked into Lu Yin's eyes. "Mister Haoyu, have we met before?"
Lu Yin thought about it. "I don't think so. Mr. Wu is from Shenwu Plane, and I'm just an independent cultivator."
Wu Taibai smiled and left.
Lu Yin watched him leave. Wu Taibai was definitely not referring to himself as Lu Yin, but rather to Yu Hao. Yu Hao had married Xia Zhitong, and she was from a side branch of the Xia family. She was also from Shenwu Plane, so perhaps Wu Taibai had met her before.
If Wu Taibai confirmed Yu Hao's identity, then Lu Yin's place would not be so peaceful. That was fine, as this was exactly what Lu Yin had been waiting for.
Shenwu Plane would not let him off while he was impersonating Yu Hao, and it would depend on whether or not they could do anything to him at Yi Xian Academy.
If Yu Hao did not reveal himself, then how would he approach Shenwu Plane?
Lu Yin would wait for the Four Way Scales' plan to use the Yu family to intimidate everyone in the Astral Tree Realm.
He had come to the Astral Tree Realm with the goal of saving someone, but he had no idea how. He could only take things one step at a time.
As for now, Lu Yin looked at the stone pillars and decided that it was time to rearrange them. Using Wen Zhao's method had already caused rumors, so it was no longer appropriate. Besides, if Shenwu Plane found him and wanted to do anything to him, Yi Xian Academy's attitude would be crucial. Lu Yin's value to Yi Xian Academy would determine their attitude when the time came.
With that in mind, Lu Yin began to rearrange the stone pillars.
The best way to rearrange the stone pillars was to use a teleportation array. It could transfer students without harming them, and it could also fully display his abilities as an Origin Array Master.
Lu Yin spent the next few days comfortably. Nong Siniang did not come looking for him, and neither did any of the other students. Instead, he went to the library to browse through the academy's books. The meager amount of credits that Nong Siniang had given him was not enough for him to ascend to the next level.
Students often went to Mister Young Wen's place to ask about ancient characters.
Lu Yin was also curious about the ancient characters and wanted to learn them. Wen Shengyi was the best choice, as his level would definitely surpass Mister Young Wen's. Right, could they be related?
Both of their surnames were Wen.
Lu Yin did not release Wen Shengyi in Yi Xian Academy, nor did he take out the mirror to summon the Fog Ancestor. After all, this was a place that even the Four Way Scales treated with caution.
Lu Yin was worried.
The third class began, and after the first two classes, Lu Yin was starting to get used to this kind of class.
Jin Zhongshan arrived. The Zijin family had been investigating the Fire Phoenix and Dark Phoenix, which coincided with Lu Yin's class.
Lu Yin was surprised to see Qingfeng here, but he was probably grateful that Qingfeng had helped him at Mister Tang's place and had helped him comprehend something.
Nong Siniang and the other girls were naturally present as well. Although the number of students was not as high as the first class, it was still twice as high. Many people wanted to see Lu Yin, as it was rumored that he was cohabiting with Mister Young Wen.
Lu Yin saw the envy in the eyes of many of the boys.
An hour later, Lu Yin was in the middle of a class when he accidentally came across some records regarding Wen Shengyi in the library. He talked about it and caused some discussion. At that moment, Bai Nan arrived, but he did not cause any trouble. Instead, he looked at Lu Yin with interest and an indescribable smugness.
Lu Yin raised his brows. There was something wrong with this brat's gaze; he must have done something.
Not long after Bai Nan, another person arrived, and Lu Yin finally knew what Bai Nan was so proud of. This person was Xia Shenguang, and he had probably come because of Bai Nan.
Bai Nan sneered as he watched Lu Yin's endless lecture. Xia Shenguang was here. Let's see how you deal with him.
Xia Shenguang's appearance caused a commotion. There were a few students in the academy who rarely attended classes, even those of Mister Tang and Mister Zheng. Xia Shenguang was one of them, and he was a direct descendant of the Four Way Scales. He had become one of the most popular candidates for the position of junior ancestor.
Only Xia Shenfei's generation could truly be considered one of the Four Junior Ancestors. However, the Junior Ancestor Planet still existed, and even if one did not need to go to the Sovereign Realm to search for the Origin Item, the planet could still be used. However, it was still unknown when it would be used.
This meant that aside from not going to the Sovereign Realm and losing the opportunity to obtain the Origin Item, Xia Shenguang was no different from Xia Shenfei's generation.
However, outsiders did not know whether or not they would actually be able to obtain the Origin Item.
In any case, Xia Shenguang was a candidate to become one of the Four Junior Ancestors in the eyes of this generation, and there was an 80% to 90% chance that he would monopolize one of the Junior Ancestor Planets.
If Lu Yin's face under Yu Hao's disguise had excited the girls in the academy because of his looks, then Xia Shenguang had similarly excited them because of his strength. They had two completely different views.
However, in the end, a pretty face was far from being able to compare to a powerful junior ancestor.
"Mister Hao Yu, can you explain the rumors about you and Mister Wen?"
Xia Shenguang's voice was so loud that it spread all around the lake.
Lu Yin's lecture was only in one corner of the lake. The entire lake was huge, and countless students were gathered here. Some were fishing, some were resting, and some were cultivating.
Xia Shenguang's words attracted everyone's attention.
Lu Yin calmly replied, "Student Xia Shenguang, I don't have anything to explain. The innocent will know their innocence. Blindly emphasizing these rumors will only damage Mister Wen's reputation. Is that something you want to see?"
Xia Shenguang raised his head. "Then apologize. You're the one who damaged her reputation."
Lu Yin was using Yu Hao's face and his identity as a teacher, so he was basically a different person. His temper had also changed, and he did not care about anyone's provocation. However, that did not mean that he was completely infuriated. This Xia Shenguang had pissed him off, and if not for his disguise, he would have slapped the guy until he couldn't find his bearings.
