After hearing He Shu's words, Shao Qingfeng flung his golden robes and said coldly, "Tu Ke is right. This Xuan Qi doesn't know his limits and thinks he can fly just because he caught a few spies. He went against Lotus Reverend's disciple in the Void God Universe and offended your sister in the Hyperspace Dimension. The You family must be suspicious of him as well. He can't stay in the Hyperspace Dimension any longer.
He Shu fell into deep thought.
…
In the Ziyou Realm, Lu Yin met You Fang.
It was the same place that could monitor the entire Hyperspace Dimension. You Fang stood in the center, seemingly in control of everything.
When Lu Yin arrived, You Fang didn't even look at him and asked, "Did you hear the rumors?"
"Didn't you always think so?"
Lu Yin asked, "Why are you making such a fuss? Why did you call me over?"
You Fang laughed, "I used to think so, but not anymore."
Lu Yin raised a brow, "What do you mean?"
You Fang turned around and looked at Lu Yin, "At first, I thought that He Ran was the one behind you getting close to the You family and instigating Luo Shan, but this rumor made me see another possibility. Perhaps He Ran was the one behind it, but you weren't necessarily the one behind it. You were also being used, or rather …" He paused, "You really wanted to investigate the spies and didn't have any other intentions towards the You family."
Lu Yin smiled, "I said from the start that I didn't have any other intentions towards the You family. You were the ones who thought you were smart. Why didn't you think that I was the one behind this rumor?
My goal was to make you trust me. "
"Hahaha, you really did think that way. When the rumor first appeared, I really did think so." You Fang laughed.
You Lele's voice sounded from behind, "I thought so too."
Lu Yin laughed, "Aren't you guys tired?"
You Lele scratched his head and looked up, "What's so tiring about using our brains? Our You family is best at using our brains, and the little games we play are things that people like you can't understand."
Lu Yin pursed his lips. Where did this sense of superiority come from? I'll play with Wang Wen or Wei Rong some day.
"You were suspicious at first, but why aren't you suspicious now?"
Lu Yin was curious.
You Fang looked at him with interest, "Haven't you thought about who started this rumor?"
"Bai Qian," Lu Yin answered without hesitation.
"Stupid," You Lele disdainfully.
You Fang said, "Bai Qian can't do it. Her influence is too small. On the surface, only Tu Ke supports her. In my opinion, there might be a problem with Tu Ke. Other than that, she has no power to support him. Even if she wants to, she is powerless. You know, this rumor spread throughout the Six Directions Society and the Three Monarchs Universe in just two days.
"If Bai Qian had this kind of power, He Ran wouldn't be able to sleep."
"Who?"....
Lu Yin didn't understand, but he was even more certain that it was He Ran.
You Fang calmly replied, "He Ran."
Lu Yin frowned. "That's impossible. I called her 'Sister Ran', and that helped her a lot. Why would she harm me?"
"You'll have to ask yourself," You Fang said, "To be honest, I didn't expect He Ran to spread such rumors. This is also the reason why I suspect you. Your status and influence are of great help to He Ran, especially when He Ran used you to get in touch with the Virtual God Spacetime to buy resources and expand her research and cultivation techniques. You've helped her a lot.
You've helped her a lot, but she still spread this rumor. You must have crossed her bottom line. "
"I had my suspicions when the rumor first appeared yesterday. Today, I found out that Zijing is missing. Does this rumor have anything to do with Zijing?"
Lu Yin and You Fang looked at each other without speaking.
You Fang smiled, "You don't believe me?
That's right. Compared to He Ran, I'm not worthy of your trust. Then … "You Fang casually opened a screen that showed the various places where the rumor had originated.
"He Ran underestimates the You family. She thinks that the surveillance we have is far from the true number of people under surveillance. These people spreading rumors are outside the scope of the You family's surveillance, but in reality, they're all within range."
"Take a look for yourself. Maybe you know some of them. If you don't believe me, I can give you more evidence."
Lu Yin looked at the people spreading the rumors. He didn't know any of them, but he had to go with the flow. "Her people." Lu Yin's expression darkened.
You Lele sneered, "This He Ran is getting more and more stupid. Xuan Qi actually knows some of them."
You Fang continued, "We haven't fought with her over the past few years, and Bai Qian was almost eliminated. She thinks that she can control spacetime, so she's naturally more unscrupulous and arrogant."
Lu Yin's expression darkened, "Why is she doing this?"
You Fang looked at him, "I told you, you've crossed her bottom line."
Lu Yin replied, "I just want to see Zijing. Although I've offended her, I've also dealt with Tu Ke and helped her slap Bai Qian's face. Why is she still doing this?"
You Fang sighed, "Sixteen years ago, a member of the decision-making team offended He Ran, and his entire family disappeared.
"Thirteen years ago, He Ran ordered the destruction of a planet that wasn't connected to the universe. That planet only knew of itself, and it didn't even know that aliens existed. It was destroyed because someone on the planet had accidentally created a face that resembled He Ran's. Of the four billion people on the planet, not a single one survived. Even in death, they didn't know that a face was the cause of their deaths."
"Seven years ago …"
You Fang spoke of many things that Lu Yin remembered very clearly, and they were all related to He Ran.
"This woman is full of herself and thinks that she's better than everyone else. She doesn't even want to breathe with others, and she sees herself as a god who transcends spacetime. She enjoys the bliss of controlling everything, and anyone who disobeys or contradicts her doesn't have a good ending, especially those who are promoted by her." You Fang looked at him, "In her heart, you're that kind of person. No matter what you do or how much you help her, as long as you make her feel that you're uncontrollable, she'll think of ways to control you.
"She thinks that she's above everything, and even her face can't be easily seen. That's He Ran. Do you really understand her?"
Lu Yin clenched his fists, "Why are you telling me all this?"
You Lele asked, "Why did you approach the You family?"
Lu Yin looked over.
You Lele raised his head, "Don't deny it. You deliberately approached the You family, and it should have something to do with He Ran. Now that she's making a move against you, why are you still helping her?"
You Fang spoke up, "Xuan Qi, you don't need to care about He Ran. You have several powerhouses backing you, and even the Three Monarchs have Chen Le supporting you. In Transcendence, the You family can protect you. With your current status, you're on the same level as He Ran. She's not the true ruler of Transcendence, far from it. Why help her?"
"Zijing is in her hands."
Lu Yin asked.
You Fang explained, "Zijing is researching a very important cultivation technique. She's not working for He Ran, but for that person."
"That Ruler?"
Lu Yin was astonished.
You Fang waved a hand and surveyed the entire Transcendence, "With He Ran's abilities, it's difficult for her to hide anything from me. Only that person can hide anything from me. Zijing was taken away by that person, not He Ran. You have to be clear about this."
"Where is Zijing?"
Lu Yin asked anxiously. He really wanted to know where that parallel space-time flow was.
You Fang shook his head, "I can't find her. I already said that as long as that person wants to hide her, no one will be able to find her. In other words, if Zijing is hidden, it means that she's already caught that person's eye. He Ran won't be able to do anything to her. I guarantee this in the name of the You family."
"But I saw Zijing not too long ago," Lu Yin said.
You Lele rolled his eyes, "I knew it. Something must have happened to make He Ran pay a price for attacking Xuan Qi in anger."
You Fang's lips curled up, "Zijing is hidden by that person, which means that no one can touch her or influence her, including He Ran herself. Since that's the case, she still allowed you to see Zijing. What do you think she paid for it?
This price is enough to make her hate you and attack you. "
Lu Yin's eyes flickered. Was that so?
Perhaps. Uncle Mo and Ke Jian's attitudes towards him were different, and even He Shu's gaze towards him was different. Perhaps He Ran was one of the reasons.
"We've said everything that needs to be said, and we've even told you who attacked you. You should at least show some sincerity," You Lele said.
Lu Yin sighed, "Yes, He Ran told me to get close to the You family."
The two weren't surprised, and they calmly looked at him.
"My goal," Lu Yin looked at You Fang, "is to unify the Heaven's Reflection Manor."
You Fang and You Lele were shocked, "What did you say?"
Lu Yin said, "There was someone from the You family called You Xian, right?"
You Fang's expression turned ugly, and so did You Lele. You Xian was You Fang's grandfather and You Lele's great-grandfather. This person had been mocked by the Six Direction Association and caused the You family to decline for a generation. This was all because he had wanted to unify the Heaven's Reflection Manor and become a giant that enjoyed the privileges of the Six Direction Association while standing outside of it. In the end, he had failed and become a laughingstock. This was a taboo topic for everyone in the You family.
Outsiders said that the You family had taken control of the Heaven's Reflection Manor because the Hyperspace Association wanted to share the family's authority, but in reality, You Xian's generation had also wanted to take control of the Heaven's Reflection Manor. This was the truth.
When he saw their ugly expressions, Lu Yin knew that Uncle Mo was right; You Xian's actions had dealt a huge blow to the You family.
"I'm naturally good at capturing spies. He Ran hopes that I can take over the Heaven's Reflection Manor from your You family and use my abilities to unify the Heaven's Reflection Manor. Who knows, the You family might even help me out because of You Xian," Lu Yin said.
You Fang sneered, "What a scheme. She knows what my You family cares about and sent someone like you here. If she didn't suspect you, then perhaps my You family would have helped you. At least for now, my You family doesn't want to control the Heaven's Reflection Manor. It would be best if you could take over."
You Lele gritted his teeth. "That evil woman."
Lu Yin found a place to sit down. "I'm telling you guys because I'm returning the favor. Since the rumors have already spread, He Ran knows that you guys won't trust me, much less help me. She's probably already given up on her plans to unify the Heaven's Reflection Manor. This plan was originally just a random thought, and it wasn't a secret plan. Otherwise, you guys wouldn't have seen through me so quickly."
