Si Jiushi's face twitched. Serve tea?
Did he hear wrong? When did he learn how to serve tea?
He had no choice. Since Mr. TideStar had asked, he had to do it.
Helplessly, he entered Five Palm Mountain as well.
"Five Palm Mountain is split into two peaks. Go up and drink tea, and go down to cultivate."
"The pressure of the Five Palm Mountain is used to train the disciples' temperament. If they can overcome their superiors, then they can go up and drink tea. However, what they taste is not tea, but the fruit of victory …" Along the way, Mr. TideStar introduced the Five Palm Mountain to Lu Yin.
The disciples they met along the way all looked at Lu Yin as if they had seen a ghost. It was as if a god was standing among mortals.
Even though the Five Palm Mountain specialized in overcoming superiors, they had only succeeded once in defeating the Divine Defense. Lu Yin was an even more ferocious existence than the Divine Defense. His sword had cut through the Four Regions, Startled Sparrow Terrace, Lunar Cliff, and Starsail. It was said that he had even defeated Yu Sang Tian. He had even said that Dan Xiong was no match for him, which meant that besides the dead Rushi, he had single-handedly suppressed four Lesser Gods. He was a true powerhouse second only to the Superior God.
Yu Jiuxiao's support had always been the Eternal Ruler, but Lu Yin was an exception.
This meant that in the Eternal Ruler's eyes, Lu Yin was qualified to be a match for him.
Now that such a person had suddenly appeared, even the Five Palm Mountain's disciples would not ignore him.
Some time later, Mr. TideStar brought Lu Yin up the mountain to a pavilion at the highest point. He gestured for Lu Yin to take a seat.
Lu Yin looked into the distance, his vision clearly encompassing the entire Gate of Five Palms. He could even see the troublemakers outside the Gate of Five Palms.
He laughed. "Mr. TideStar's hobby is very unique."
Mr. TideStar laughed. "The Five Palm Mountain doesn't have a good reputation because of this hobby. While accomplishing your goal, you can befriend three to five disciples and watch the people outside looking for trouble. To be honest, the first time I experienced this, I felt uneasy. It felt like I was being immoral, but I'm used to it now."
Si Jiushi arrived and respectfully served tea.
Lu Yin's lips curled into a smile. "At least the Five Great Sects don't do anything that offends the heavens and reason. They don't have any bad morals, which is much better than Wujie."
Si Jiushi was shocked. Wujie?
Mr. TideStar was surprised. "Sir, you met Wujie?"
"At the Seventh Night Pillar."
"When the Guanlan Universe rebooted?
He won't make trouble for Sir, will he? "
Lu Yin smiled and sipped his tea. "He wants me to slap myself."
Si Jiushi's hand trembled, and he instantly sympathized with Wujie.
Master Tide-listener smiled bitterly. "This Wujie has used Dream of a Thousand Years to trick many people over the years. Moreover, with Dream of a Thousand Years as his backing, no one can do anything to him. It's his bad luck to have met you."
Lu Yin glanced at Si Jiushi and asked, "Do you have any enemies outside?"
Si Jiu Shi smiled hastily and said, "Mister, you must be joking. I've never offended anyone in the Continent of the Nine Clouds. Nobody knows who I am."
"The Jin Clan didn't come either?" Lu Yin was curious.
Si Jiushi shook his head. "No."
He didn't understand why Lu Yin had suddenly brought this up. The Jin clan's matter had nothing to do with the Great Five Palaces. If the Great Five Palaces knew, then the Jin clan knew as well.
Since he knew that it was fake, why did he come and find trouble with the Five Great Sects?
Mr. Tide-listening took a sip of tea and said nothing.
Lu Yin put down his teacup, "I was the one who did that to the Jin Clan. Does Mister Tide-sounding know?"
Mr. Tide-listening looked at Lu Yin. "Yes, Ninefang mentioned it."
"I apologize for letting the Great Five Palaces take the blame." Lu Yin raised his teacup and looked at Mr. Tide-listening.
But Mr. Tide-listening didn't raise his teacup. Instead, he stared at Lu Yin. "The Great Five Palaces have a bad reputation, but we admit to everything we do. If we did something, we did it. If we didn't do it, we won't admit it, and we won't allow others to wrongly accuse us. Mister's actions are not very good."
Si Jiushi blinked. The Great Five Palaces were mighty, and there weren't many people who dared to speak to Lu Yin like this.
Lu Yin wasn't surprised. "That's why I want to apologize."
Mr. Tide-listening turned his teacup but didn't raise it. "There's no need to apologize."
He turned to look outside. "Look at them. Many people have reasons for their resentment, and some reasons are worthy of their resentment. The Great Five Palaces don't do things according to reason, but according to what we need. Sometimes, it's inevitable that things aren't light or heavy."
"If apologizing was useful, they wouldn't be there."
"We look at them with amusement, and you look at us the same way."
"The spectators don't care about this kind of amusement, but the ones being looked at will feel aggrieved. The Great Five Palaces aren't willing to suffer such grievances."
Lu Yin put down his teacup. "So, what do you want to do, Mr. Tide-listening?"
Mr. Tide-listening stared at Lu Yin. "Here, we only believe in four words: the weak subdue the strong. I've heard that you're still in the Primordial Realm, while I'm at Tribulation Transcendence."
Lu Yin understood. "You can teach me at any time."
The pavilion fell silent. Mr. Tide-listening continued to stare into the distance, not in a hurry to act.
Si Jiushi slowly backed away. He should have thought of this; how could Mr. Tide-listening take the blame without saying anything?
No matter how powerful Lu Yin was, the Great Five Palaces weren't afraid of him.
Si Jiushi had been suppressed the first time he met Lu Yin, but even he wanted to fight to the death, let alone Mr. Tide-listening.
It was fine to make the Great Five Palaces take the blame, but it was also fine to make them feel aggrieved, as long as they showed their strength.
Lu Yin's display of invincibility had left the entire Ninefold Universe speechless. The Great Five Palaces were definitely not his match, but Si Jiushi couldn't be too cowardly. How could the weak subdue the strong? How could they inherit the Great Five Palaces' integrity?
Mr. Tide-listening didn't want to defeat Lu Yin, but he wanted Lu Yin to give him a reason to be convinced. The Great Five Palaces only believed that the weak subdued the strong.
When Si Jiushi retreated a hundred meters away, Mr. Tide-listening looked away and poured himself a cup of tea.
Lu Yin stopped him. "I should be pouring tea for you, Mr. Tide-listening."
Mr. Tide-listening acted as if he hadn't heard anything and continued pouring tea.
Lu Yin tapped his finger on the stone table, causing the tea in the teapot to spill out. The small teacup rippled as it spun around, but it couldn't fill up. It was clearly a small cup, but it seemed bottomless.
Mister Tide-listening's gaze turned cold. His left arm that was pouring tea pressed against the stone table. A light breeze swept past where the stone table was connected to the ground. Si Jiushi was almost flipped over by this light breeze that came from the bottom of his feet. He looked at the bottom of the stone table in bewilderment.
He had never imagined that he would be flipped over by the Great Five Palaces from the bottom.
Mr. Tide-listening pressed down on the table, trying to use the Great Five Palaces to fill the cup to the brim.
But no matter how hard he tried, the whirlpool wouldn't stop.
Lu Yin's expression was calm as he stared off into the distance. Aside from tapping his finger on the stone table, he did nothing else.
With a sigh, Mr. Tide-listening put down the teapot, "I'm impressed."
Lu Yin looked at Mr. Tide-listening and smiled, picking up the teapot, "I told you, I'll pour this cup." He poured the tea, filling it to the brim.
"Please."
Mr. Tide-listening picked up the teacup and faced Lu Yin. Lu Yin picked up his as well, and they both smiled before downing the contents in one gulp. Drinking tea brought out the heroism of wine.
Si Jiushi stepped forward and poured tea for the two once more.
As for the matter with the Jin clan, it was over.
"Mr. Lu, your strength is unparalleled in both ancient and modern times, and your sword can suppress the Nine Firmaments. But I'm curious, where did you learn the Great Five Palaces?"
Lu Yin glanced at him, "You didn't tell Mr. Tide-listening?"
"I did," Si Jiushi hurriedly replied.
Mr. Tide-listening laughed, "Ninth Fatty told me that Mr. Lu's Great Five Palaces came from the third generation's master. Yue Ya took over the body of the third generation's master and fought with Mr. Lu. That was when Mr. Lu learned of our feud with Yue Ya, but in theory, Mr. Lu shouldn't have been able to learn the Great Five Palaces under those circumstances."
Lu Yin nodded, "That's right, it was fake back then."
"But that was real," Mister Tide-listener said.
"Would you believe me if I said that I just learned it?"
Mr. Tide-listening stared at Lu Yin in a daze, then sighed, "Mr. Lu's talent is rarely seen in both ancient and modern times. I'm impressed."
Si Jiushi looked at Lu Yin like he was a monster. This guy's Great Five Palaces had been fake, but he'd been able to learn it just by walking around Five Palms Mountain once.
How could there be such a person in the world?
Lu Yin took a sip of tea, "Now that your doubts have been cleared, it's time for me to get down to business."
Mr. Tide-listening's expression changed, "Please, Mr. Lu."
"Do you know where the Third and Eighth Night Pillars went?" Lu Yin asked.
Mr. Tide-listening nodded, "Anyone with some ability in the Ninefirmaments Universe knows about the alien threat. People from all four filaments have gone to war, and my Great Five Palms also sent people to join the Night Pillars. Is your visit related to this matter?"
Lu Yin looked at Mr. Tide-listening, "I hope that the Great Five Palms can help me bring more people to the Consciousness Universe."
"You want to reinforce the Consciousness Universe?"
"That's right."
"As far as I know, the Consciousness Universe is defended by cultivators from the Western Regions. Many of my disciples have gone as well, joining the ranks of wandering cultivators. If you can help, the Consciousness Universe will be stabilized. What's the point of having an extra Five Palms?" Mr. Tide-listening was confused.
Lu Yin slowly explained the characteristics of the insectoid hive.
The more Mr. Tide-listening and Si Jiushi listened, the more serious their expressions became.
"That's why the threat of the insectoid hive isn't focused on the insects that have already appeared, but rather on the hives. Only by finding all of the hives can we resolve this crisis, or the Ninefirmaments Universe will forever be in the eyes of the insectoid hive. You should know that Emperor Mi Jin once said that this is the greatest weapon in the universe."
"You know your limits."
"That's why the Ninefirmaments Universe cannot be exposed."
"But my Great Five Palms doesn't have that many people, even fewer than the Bitter Abyss," Mr. Tide-listening said.
The Bitter Abyss had fewer people, but they were noticed because they were the strongest power in the Northern Regions. The Great Five Palms actually had fewer people than the Bitter Abyss, but because they didn't have the same reputation as the Bitter Abyss, not many people cared about them. With the characteristics of the sect, the fewer people there were, the better.
The Great Five Palms only accepted disciples based on luck.
One had to know that there were many enemies of the Five Palm Mountain outside. It was extremely difficult to enter the Five Palm Mountain to become a disciple.
