Huang Ding did not hide anything and told Lu Yin about the cultivators in the Fifth Night Pillar who were qualified to fight for the position. He even told Lu Yin about the creatures from the universe that he had subdued.
However, this was not what Lu Yin wanted to know.
"Has the Fifth Night Pillar made any preparations for expeditions?" Lu Yin asked directly.
Huang Ding did not understand and shook his head, "No."
Lu Yin looked at him.
Although Huang Ding wanted to retreat, he still forced himself to look Lu Yin in the eye.
At Lu Yin's fingertip, the karmic spiral pierced through Huang Ding and Huang Ding felt as though something had pierced through him. However, when he looked around, there was nothing.
Lu Yin looked at Huang Ding and used karma to check. His eyes turned cold, "You really don't have anything?"
Huang Ding felt uneasy and gulped, "No, no."
Lu Yin sneered, "This is your last chance. Do you think Swordmaster Taicang has the ability to take revenge for you?"
Huang Ding's eyes narrowed and his face turned pale.
Revenge?
He was in a hurry to leave because he wanted to remind his master about this person. This person was not to be trifled with.
This person was unfathomable and was related to Ye Hai. He was not someone they could afford to offend.
Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead.
Lu Yin looked at him.
Huang Ding felt a chill down his spine, "Yes, I have. However, I do not know where the target is. I only know that Master wants to fight for the position of the Night Pillar. That is why he sent me to Dong Lin Sword Gate to propose marriage. At the same time, I also sent the Minor Circle Sword Fusion Codex."
"Speak clearly." Lu Yin said coldly.
Huang Ding gritted his teeth. He didn't want to hide anything anymore. "Master hopes that I can marry Lu Siyu. With Ye Hai's backing and the Seven Fairies' relationship, it will be easy for him to get the position of Night Chief. Once he becomes the Night Chief, not only will he be safe during the expedition, he will also get the best resources …"
"Even if I can't marry Lu Siyu, Lu Sizhan will still owe me a favor by sending the Minor Circle Sword Fusion Codex. When the Swordmaster of the Four Lin Sword Fusion Codex is selected, everyone will be able to see that Master's prestige will surpass the Swordmaster of the Four Lin Sword Fusion Codex. This will also be helpful in the fight for the position of the Night Pillar."
Lu Yin sighed in admiration. "Advancing step by step, interesting."
Huang Ding's face turned pale. That's right, it would be best if he could marry Lu Siyu, but even if he couldn't, it would still be good if he could gain Lu Sizhan's favor. In the end, the title of Swordmaster Tai Cang would be able to surpass the title of Swordmaster of the Four Lin Swords. Even if this would offend the Four Lin Swords Gate, it would still be helpful in the competition.
No matter how he looked at it, this was the right move.
The only thing he didn't expect was that Lu Sizhan didn't cultivate the Minor Circular Sword Fusion Codex and even became the Swordmaster of the Si Lin with the help of this person.
Not to mention them, even the God of Defense did not expect this.
"Your master doesn't train in sword intent, and instead focuses all of his attention on this. What Swordmaster Taicang? That's just an undeserved reputation," Lu Yin said before leaving.
On the spot, Huang Ding finally heaved a sigh of relief. Why was this person inquiring about the Fifth Night Pillar?
He couldn't be going to the Fifth Night Pillar, right? No, he had to remind Master. Wait, his expression changed. If he reminded Master, wouldn't that be the same as telling Master that he had revealed those things?
If that happened, he would be in trouble as well.
She couldn't say anything. She couldn't say anything.
Xiao Ding wiped the sweat off his forehead and once again headed into the distance.
This trip was really unlucky.
On the other side, Lu Yin returned to the Si Lin Region and went to the Dong Lin Sword Gate.
At this moment, the gate was decorated with lanterns and colored banners, creating a lively scene.
Lu Sizhan carried the birdcage in his left hand. Just like before, he looked carefree and unfettered. But now, no one dared to say anything about him being a good-for-nothing anymore. Even though he didn't rely on himself to become the Head of the Swords of All Kings, his death as a sign of his will and his suffering made everyone acknowledge him.
Ming Zhuo's praise had made him the true Swordmaster of the Si Lin Region, and he was comparable to Lu Zang.
However, there were fewer people coming to propose marriage.
Lu Sizhan's status put even more pressure on others.
In the courtyard, Lu Siyu rested her chin on her hand and beamed as she looked into the distance.
"Miss, Master is so impressive," the maid praised.
Lu Siyu smiled and said, "Of course. Don't you know whose father he is?"
"So happy? Does that mean I've fulfilled my request?" A voice suddenly rang out, startling Lu Siyu.
She looked to the corner, gritted her teeth, and glared angrily, "Can't you make some noise?
You're always like this, are you trying to scare me to death? "
The maid quickly retreated when she saw Lu Yin arrive.
Lu Yin leaned against the wall and grinned at Lu Siyu, "How did my request go?"
Lu Siyu snorted, "You still have the face to ask, you almost got my father killed."
Lu Yin praised, "Your father has a righteous heart, I admire him."
"Of course." Lu Siyu was pleased with herself, raising her neck high to reveal her snow-white skin.
Lu Siyu blushed when she saw Lu Yin staring at her and lowered her head, "What are you looking at, thief?"
Lu Yin laughed, "Tell me about your six sisters."
Lu Siyu blinked, "Are you curious?"
"Very."
"Why don't you ask the others?
The Seven Fairies are famous in the Nine Firmaments, many people know about them. "
"I don't want to ask, I just want to ask you."
"I'm not telling you, it's not that easy to get information out of me. My sisters won't let you fulfill their request so easily."
Lu Yin smiled, "Do you want them to experience the helplessness you felt when you squatted in the corner?"
Lu Siyu's heart clenched at the mention of this, thinking about her father's helplessness and her own despair while squatting in the corner waiting for Lu Yin.
She glanced at Lu Yin. This little thief was very powerful, and his actions were unscrupulous. If her sisters' conditions were too troublesome, then they would definitely cause trouble for themselves as well. No, she had to remind them. But this way, the conditions wouldn't be too difficult, and she could help this little thief.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she felt.
Lu Siyu gritted her teeth, not knowing what to do.
She suddenly thought of something, could this thief be doing this on purpose?
It was true that the conditions Ye Futian had proposed were difficult, but for a powerful warrior like him, there was no need for him to cripple Ye Futian. However, Ye Futian did it anyway. Later on, Ye Futian must have known about Ye Futian's conversation with Old Slayer. Ye Futian must have known that Ye Futian wanted to cancel Ye Futian's conditions, but he did not appear.
Yes, he was doing this on purpose. He wanted to make things difficult for her and put her in despair so that he could threaten her sisters. Yes, that was it.
Lu Siyu glared at Lu Yin, "Just you wait, my scheme won't succeed so easily." She then slammed the window shut.
Lu Yin was baffled; what scheme?
Why was she suddenly angry?
He had to admit that he was at a disadvantage in this situation. Even if he could see through people's hearts, he still couldn't understand Lu Siyu's thoughts. A woman's thoughts were difficult to guess.
Cough cough.
Lu Yin looked outside the courtyard and saw that Lu Sizhan had arrived. When he saw Lu Yin looking over, he smiled helplessly and said apologetically, "My daughter was rude. I hope you don't take offense."
Lu Yin grunted, "It's nothing. Why are you here?"
Lu Sizhan looked at the courtyard strangely; shouldn't he be here?
Lu Yin realized that he had said something wrong, "Sorry, I forgot that this is your home."
"Haha, if you don't mind, you can treat this as your home. Donglin Sword Sect will definitely welcome you." Lu Sizhan smiled.
Lu Siyu pushed the window open, "Old Lu, what are you talking about?"
Lu Sizhan frowned and scolded, "Girl, don't be rude."
Lu Siyu snorted.
Lu Sizhan faced Lu Yin and bowed slowly, "Mister, you've helped me to overcome my hardship. The Dong Lin Swords Sect must repay this debt of gratitude." He then took out two scabs and asked, "Are you satisfied with these?"
Lu Yin's eyes lit up, "For me?"
"Yes."
"Thank you."
Zhong Yue didn't reject her offer. Although the competition for the position of the Sword Head of the Four Lin Swords was full of ups and downs, the result was good. After he fulfilled the conditions, he apologized to the Four Lin Swords Gate and helped Lu Sizhan to overcome her ordeal. In terms of debt, they didn't owe each other anything. However, he needed the Yuan Scab and since Lu Siyu was a Blue Lotus Upper Imperial Disciple, he didn't need it.
Lu Siyu didn't stop him, but gloated instead, "Little, Lu Yin."
Lu Yin looked over.
"I've already told my sisters about what happened here. They said that they will reconsider the conditions. Don't think that you can get away so easily."
Lu Yin smiled, "Don't worry, there's always a way. I won't lose out anyway."
Lu Siyu's face changed, she gritted her teeth and glared at Lu Yin again before closing the window.
Lu Sizhan was embarrassed, "My daughter is being rude again. If you are not in a hurry to leave, you can stay here for as long as you want."
Lu Yin looked at Lu Siyu's room, "Alright, I'll have to trouble you then."
He had to wait for the conditions of the other six girls.
Donglin Sword Sect quickly tidied up a courtyard for Lu Yin, some distance away from Lu Sizhan and Lu Siyu.
Lu Yin didn't know how long it would take for him to meet the conditions, so he decided to roll his die and absorb the scabs.
Lu Sizhan then came to Lu Siyu's courtyard.
"Old Lu, he's staying?"
"Yes."
"This little thief is despicable. He's purposely making things difficult for us to lower the difficulty of the conditions."
Lu Sizhan said, "Don't make wild guesses."
Lu Siyu frowned, "I'm not making wild guesses. It must be him."
She wanted to say that Lu Yin was peeking at the lotus pond, but she stopped herself in time.
Lu Sizhan didn't notice, "Little girl, you're not young anymore. It's time to think about life."
Lu Siyu felt a headache coming on, "Old Lu, you said you wouldn't force me, and I'm still young."
Lu Sizhan looked at Lu Siyu and sighed deeply, "In the past, I was confident that I could protect you. Plus, you were Blue Lotus Superior's disciple, so I let you do whatever you want. However, I will grow old one day, Blue Lotus Superior." He didn't continue as he was troubled.
Lu Siyu didn't understand, "Old Lu, what are you trying to say?"
Lu Sizhan looked towards the Mother Tree and looked up, seeing the majestic canopy that covered the sky, "Upstanding Lotus Emperor is also human. You have to think of a way out for yourself. The Seven Fairies may not always be favored, and Upstanding Lotus Emperor's disciples can also die. You know that."
Lu Siyu facepalmed, "It still happened."
Lu Sizhan didn't understand, "What happened?"
"Change, Old Lu. You didn't think this way before. You're very cheerful and open-minded. Although you're a little useless, you're very bright."
"Little girl, how can you talk about your own father like that?"
"But that's the truth. Why else would people call me the happiest and most useless person?"
