Lu Yin smiled. "Young Mistress, sorry to disturb you."
"Brother Xuan Qi, you can treat the Scenic Cloud Clan as your own home. How could we disturb you when you're home?" Yun Yun was very good with words, and she looked at Lu Yin with a strange light in her eyes.
Although the Scenic Cloud Clan treated Lu Yin courteously, it was not enough to cause Yun Yun to act this way. The main reason was that when Yun Yun had first seen Lu Yin, she had coincidentally seen Lu Yin display his Taixu Domain. That checkered diagram had been too impactful, and it had caused ripples in her heart. After all, she was still young, and it was easy for her to be affected by certain emotions, which led to her current attitude.
Ke Jian was not the only one who felt that their Young Clan Head was too enthusiastic. However, no one dared to say anything. The Clan Head had gone to the Endless Battlefield. Now, the ones in charge of the Scenic Cloud Clan were Young Clan Head Yun Yun and Grand Elder Xu Xiangyin.
Xu Xiangyin's attitude towards Lu Yin was even better, as he wished that he could treat Lu Yin as his own grandson. Lu Yin had not come to the Scenic Cloud Clan to return home for nothing, as that was the truth.
He introduced Ke Jian to the Scenic Cloud Clan, and Yun Yun smiled. "Senior Ke Jian, you've come as a representative of Transcending Spacetime. The Scenic Cloud Clan welcomes you."
Ke Jian smiled and said a few polite words.
The group entered the Scenic Cloud Tribe.
The transaction went smoothly, and Ke Jian was very satisfied with the fact that Ke Jian had actually made a deal with the Scenic Cloud Clan in the past, but because the efficiency had been too low, Ke Jian had had no choice but to rely on Lu Yin. The terms of this transaction were the same, and the only difference was that the time required was much faster, which satisfied Ke Jian.
After the transaction was completed, Ke Jian left immediately. He had to report back to his superiors. Before he left, he had to discuss the time of the next transaction.
The first time, Lu Yin had brought it along, but there was no need for him to do so again.
After Ke Jian left, Yun Yun hurriedly showed him around the Scenic Cloud Clan.
The Scenic Cloud Race's territory was bigger than the Void Yang Race and the Void Yin Race combined. Even though the two races had inherited the legacy of an extreme expert like Venerable Void One, they were only inheritances and not descendants. They were not pure extreme experts' family clans. The Scenic Cloud Race, on the other hand, was the descendant of a true extreme expert's family clan. Their heritage was not something the other two races could compare to.
"Big Brother Xuan Qi, I heard that you helped the Void Yang Race and the Void Yin Race find the Yin Yang Sword?"
Yun Yun suddenly asked as she led Lu Yin on a tour.
Lu Yin nodded. This matter had already spread, and there was no need to hide it.
Yun Yun was envious. "They're really lucky to have Big Brother Xuan Qi's help."
Lu Yin replied, "It's nothing much. If there's anything I can help the Scenic Cloud Clan with, I'll do my best."
Yun Yun smiled. "I know."
"What is that place?"
Lu Yin asked as he looked towards the mountain range to his right.
Yun Yun said, "That's a garden used to cultivate medicinal herbs. Does big brother Xuan Qi want to take a look?"
"Herbs? I wonder if there are any special herbs in the Virtual God Universe. Let's see."
"Alright."
Not long after, he looked in another direction. "What's that place?"
"Our Scenic Cloud Clan has 135 scenic spots, and each of them is extremely beautiful. The Ancestor personally arranged them, and this place is one of them."
"How many sceneries have we seen?"
"Seventeen."
"Let's go take a look at that."
"Alright."
"What is that place?"
"That's …"
Through Yunwu's memories, Lu Yin had a good understanding of the Scenic Cloud Tribe, and he had intentionally brought Yun Yun closer to Yunwu's residence. However, from what Yun Yun knew, Lu Yin had only done so by accident.
"Brother Xuan Qi, it's not good to go there. That's the area where my aunt Yunwu lives," Yunyun said.
Lu Yin was curious. "Your aunt?"
Yunyun nodded. "Aunt Yunwu had a hard life. She had many suitors when she was young, but my father forced her to marry someone she didn't like. However, she had a strong personality and would rather destroy her own cultivation than marry. My father had no choice but to give up on her and banish her from the main area of the clan. She then moved here …"
Yunyun was very respectful towards her aunt, and she spoke a lot about it. Lu Yin knew about Yunwu's memories, and through Yun Yun's point of view and her memories, he was able to determine what kind of image Yunwu was trying to create for herself.
After a long time, Yunyun finally reacted. "I'm sorry, Brother Xuan Qi, I spoke too much."
Lu Yin didn't mind. "It's fine. Yunyun, you said that your aunt stays here all year round and doesn't go out?"
"Yeah, that's why I didn't call her along when I welcomed you," Yunyun said.
Lu Yin smiled. "Although she doesn't go out all year round, she's still quite diligent. It seems like she's not satisfied with staying here."
Yunyun was confused. "Why do you say that?
My aunt has never returned to the clan. Father basically chased her out, and she swore that she wouldn't go back. "
Lu Yin looked at her. "She doesn't go back?
Are there other people from the Scenic Cloud Clan living here? "
"Of course not." Yunyun's expression changed. If there really were other people living here, then it meant that Yunwu was hiding something from the clan, and that would be very embarrassing.
Lu Yin frowned. "But I saw a trace that leads from your aunt's residence to the Scenic Cloud Clan. It's very deep, and someone should be moving around here often. Why hasn't anyone passed by?"
Yunyun looked ahead. "A trace?
Where? "
Up ahead, Yunwu's residence was filled with flowers, and there were no traces of anyone passing by.
Lu Yin explained, "This is a trace of someone walking through space. Normal people can't see it, but I can because I cultivate Taixu. Do you want to take a look?"
Yunyun nodded.
Lu Yin raised a hand and gathered his Void God power, causing lines to spread out and form a square diagram. One of the lines was twisting, and Lu Yin pulled his hand back. The other lines dimmed, and only that one continued to extend. "That line represents a trace of someone walking through space. I'm sure that someone often goes to the Scenic Cloud Clan from your aunt's residence, but I don't know where that is."
At the same time, Yunwu, who was the closest to Lu Yin, saw the square diagram flash by. Her expression turned grave as she walked out and looked into the distance. She saw the dim line that led from her courtyard to the Scenic Cloud Clan, and her expression changed. What was that?
Many people from the Scenic Cloud Clan saw it as well, and they all flew over to where Yunyun was.
"Young Clan Head?
What's this? "
The elder asked, looking at Lu Yin in confusion.
Yunyun's expression sank. Outsiders did not know where the line led to, but she knew that it led to the library, which was where the Scenic Cloud Clan gathered information. Whether it was information from the Void God Spacetime, the frontlines, or even the Endless Battlefield, anything that was related to the Scenic Cloud Clan would be received there.
She looked in Yunwu's direction, unable to believe that her aunt had gone there.
Lu Yin was curious. "What's that place?"
The members of the Scenic Cloud Clan looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Yunyun looked at Lu Yin with a solemn expression. "Brother Xuan Qi, can you really see the traces left behind by Void Walking?"
Although she had a good impression of Lu Yin, this wasn't a joke. Furthermore, she didn't believe that anyone would be able to see the traces left behind by a spatial walker. That was just too ridiculous. She had only been curious about what Lu Yin was talking about, which was why she had asked him to take action.
However, she also suspected that Lu Yin had ulterior motives.
Compared to Lu Yin, she was naturally more willing to believe her aunt, even if Lu Yin had been introduced by Xu Xiangyin.
Lu Yin replied, "It seems like that place is very important to your Scenic Cloud Clan."
Yunyun earnestly replied, "Brother Xuan Qi, I won't lie to you. That's where my Scenic Cloud Clan receives information from the outside world."
"So that's how it is." Lu Yin understood, and he fell silent for a moment before looking at Yunyun. "I don't know how to explain this, but the void is not formless. In the eyes of most people, space cannot be touched, and it's just a concept. However, to some people, especially those who can interact with space, the void is as obvious as the earth."
Lu Yin took a few steps back. "There are traces of our footsteps on the ground, and there are also traces of our footsteps in the void."
"Are you saying that it's the same as intercepting a conversation with a cloudconnection stone?"
Someone from the Scenic Cloud Clan asked.
Lu Yin nodded. "Yes, that's right."
The six parties would use cloudconnection stones, and those who had cultivated their domain to the Void God Realm could intercept the contents of a conversation. If even that could be intercepted, then it would not be strange for traces to be left behind in space.
Yunyun looked in the direction of Yunwu's residence, and her expression turned ugly.
Someone who had sworn not to enter the clan's territory was constantly sneaking in, and he had even gone to the library. There was definitely something wrong.
"Why hasn't Yunwu appeared yet?"
An elder from the Scenic Cloud Clan asked.
Yunyun's gaze turned cold, and she headed towards Yunwu's residence. The others hurriedly followed behind her.
Soon enough, the group arrived at a simple courtyard.
At this moment, Yunwu was watering the flowers. When she saw Yunyun and the others, she was astonished. "Little Yun, why are you here?"
Yunyun took a deep breath and smiled. "Auntie, I brought some guests."
Yunwu's gaze swept across the group and stopped at Lu Yin's face. Her expression was cold. "The Scenic Cloud Clan's guests have nothing to do with me."
Yunyun asked, "Since I'm here, aren't you going to invite me in?"
Yunwu did not reply and continued watering the flowers.
No one from the Scenic Cloud Clan said anything, as they were well aware of the relationship between Yunwu and the clan.
"Does Senior not care about that line?"
Lu Yin suddenly asked.
Yunwu paused and looked at Lu Yin. "Why would I care?"
Lu Yin was puzzled. "I admire Senior's peaceful nature, but have you never visited the Scenic Cloud Clan in all these years?"
Yunwu frowned. "Are you questioning me?"
She then looked at Yunyun. "Little Yun, you brought an outsider here to question me?"
Yunyun replied, "Auntie, he's not an outsider. He's Elder Xu Xiangyin's most favored junior, and he's also Senior Xu Wuwei's disciple." Many people believed that Lu Yin, who had learned Taixuan, was Xu Wuwei's disciple, and that Xu Wuwei was not a guide.
Yunwu was shocked. "Senior Xu Wuwei's disciple?"
Lu Yin looked at Yunwu. "Senior, are you willing to answer this junior's question?"
Yunwu retracted her gaze. "Let alone Senior Xu Wuwei's disciple, so what if I'm the Void Master's disciple? I've never betrayed the Void God Spacetime, nor have I betrayed the human race. Why should I be questioned by you?"
Yunyun asked, "Then let me ask you, Auntie. Have you ever visited the clan in all these years?"
Yunwu was calm. "No."
Yunyun looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Space can't lie. That's what Senior Xu Wuwei said. Senior, you've been to the Scenic Cloud Clan more than once. That line is the path you took when traveling through space."
