He wandered around Tianmao Planet for a bit before finally arriving at the Zi family's ancestral home along a wide river.
The ancestral home wasn't very large, and there were countless cultivators patrolling the area. Both the sky and the ground were sealed off.
Zi Rong and Zi Xue were also there, along with other members of the Zi family. Outsiders weren't allowed in yet, as the ancestral home was very small and couldn't hold that many people.
Lu Yin was stopped; he wanted to see Zi Xue, but he wasn't allowed to.
However, due to his special status, he was treated well, and the Zi family's guards notified the higher-ups.
Not long after, Zi Xianxian arrived with a cautious expression. "I knew you were going to cause trouble. What do you want, Lu Yin?
Let me tell you, the Zi family isn't to be trifled with. Don't even think about stealing the bride. "
Lu Yin rolled his eyes. "I have nothing to do with Zi Xue, so why would I steal the bride? I just want to see her and have some things to say."
"I'm sorry, but Sister Zi Xue can't see you. She's about to marry my second brother. Do you think it's appropriate for her to see you now?" Zi Xianxian said bluntly.
Lu Yin looked past Zi Xianxian and towards the ancestral home, but he remained silent.
Zi Xianxian became even more cautious. "Mister Yi is here. Don't even think about stealing her."
Lu Yin was speechless. "Alright, then I'll be leaving." He simply turned and left.
Zi Xianxian stared at Lu Yin's back; he was leaving so easily?
Although it was strange, Zi Xianxian could only hope that Lu Yin wouldn't cause trouble. She couldn't just find someone to capture him; even Zi Tianchuan wouldn't dare.
Zi Xianxian also wanted to find someone to monitor Lu Yin, but after some thought, she decided against it. This person's strength wasn't something that just anyone could monitor, and even Mister Yi might not be able to do so.
Lu Yin wasn't giving up, but he had no other choice. He couldn't just barge in, and he didn't know Bai Xue's exact situation. As for Luoshen, she was also in her residence, so he couldn't see her.
It seemed that he could only wait until the day of the wedding. Actually, he didn't have much to do with Bai Xue, and for the sake of Earth, he could help her if she was in danger. However, if he didn't even know what kind of danger it was, then it wouldn't be wise for him to make an enemy out of the Zi family just because of Luoshen.
Lu Yin's reputation in the Outerverse was very good with the media, but it was very bad in the hearts of the various powers. Countless people saw him as an invader, and if he made any more enemies, he could easily cause a backlash. This was especially true since the Zi family had too much information....
Another two days passed.
On this day, the Zi family's ancestral home was opened to some people, and Lu Yin was one of them. However, he still couldn't see Zixue, nor could he see Luoshen. Those girls were all in the inner courtyard, and only girls could enter.
As for him, ever since he had arrived at the ancestral home, Zi Xianxian had been watching him like he was a thief.
Zi Tianchuan's attitude towards him had also changed a little. Perhaps he had heard something and was a little vigilant.
Lu Yin met Zi Fang, the first successor of the Zi family. He looked normal and cultured, but he gave off a sinister vibe.
This person did not have a good impression of Lu Yin. Back when the Great Eastern Alliance had been at odds with Aegis, Zi Xianxian had given Lu Yin information, which had resulted in her being reprimanded by this person. Later on, in order to capture Deng Pu, this person had also sent people to act, and Lu Yin had also sent people to act. This could be considered to have foiled this person's plans, so they were indirectly considered enemies.
Lu Yin didn't care about him. If this person really dared to make an enemy out of him, then Lu Yin could change the heir of the Zi family. Zi Xianxian was a good candidate, even though she was always on guard against him.
Lu Yin was drinking tea in the courtyard of the Zi family's ancestral home when he heard a commotion nearby.
"Scram, I don't want to see you. Get lost, you're so annoying." Qiongxi 'er appeared with an impatient expression. Lu Yin blinked and was dumbfounded. Behind Qiongxi' er was Zhu San, who was dressed in female clothing. He looked rather frightening, but his gestures and movements were quite feminine.
Lu Yin hurriedly covered his face, afraid that he would be recognized.
He was the one who had tricked Zhu San into pretending to be a woman to get close to Qiongxi 'er, which had set a bad example for Wanqian City. Now, wherever Qiongxi' er went, there would be men pretending to be women. Every man wanted to marry Qiongxi 'er and become the son-in-law of Wanqian City.
Qiongxi 'er had been interested at first, but now she only wanted to vomit. However, Zhu San was very persistent, and he persisted.
"Xi 'er, don't resist. I know you like me. Come, let's have a good chat about life. Right, Xi' er, what do you think of this color of foundation?" Zhu San's tone was strange as he imitated a woman's voice. He had completely let go of himself.
Many people around them were stunned and had strange expressions.
The people from the Zi family wanted to stop him, but he wasn't doing anything. Furthermore, he was someone with status, so they were in a difficult position. This was too embarrassing.
Qiongxi 'er was about to collapse. She didn't know if it was a coincidence, but when she saw Lu Yin, her eyes lit up and she ran over to pat him on the shoulder. "Brother Lu, so you're here. I've been looking for you for a few days."
Lu Yin laughed dryly and quickly looked around. "Um, I still have things to do. You guys go ahead." He then turned to leave.
Qiongxi 'er hurriedly pulled him back. "Brother Lu, tell me what you have to do. Let's solve it together. I'll help you."
At that moment, Zhu San arrived and stood behind Lu Yin, glaring at him fiercely. "You can't bully your friend's wife. Brother, you have to understand this eternal truth."
Lu Yin's hair stood on end. Even a battle with an Imprinter wasn't this scary. A man dressed in women's clothing and wearing heavy makeup standing behind him could easily give him nightmares.
"Um, I'll leave first," Lu Yin said anxiously.
Qiongxi 'er grabbed his clothes tightly, looking like she was going to face this together. She whispered, "You were the one who told this bastard to pretend to be a woman. If you want to be disgusted, then let's be disgusted together."
"Who told you to have such a weird personality?" Lu Yin blurted out.
Qiongxi 'er snorted. "That's not a reason for you to be disgusted with me."
"Didn't you like it a lot back then?"
"That was just perfunctory."
"I think you enjoyed it."
"You should be disgusted with me too."
"You can't stop me." Lu Yin reached out and flicked the back of Qiongxi 'er's hand with his middle finger. Qiongxi' er let go in pain, and Lu Yin slipped away.
Qiongxi 'er was furious and snorted. She was clearly a beautiful woman, but her gaze was always on another woman.
When Zhu San saw Lu Yin leave, she nodded in satisfaction and tried to please Qiongxi 'er once more.
However, Lu Yin soon returned and sat down across from Qiongxi 'er with a calm expression.
Qiongxi 'er and Zhu San were puzzled.
"Why are you back?" Qiongxi 'er was curious.
Zhu San's gaze was extremely cautious.
Lu Yin replied, "Nothing much. I heard something and wanted to share it with someone."
Qiongxi 'er and Zhu San looked at him.
Lu Yin asked, "Do you know what a woman looks like when she reaches the pinnacle of beauty?"
The two shook their heads, and Qiongxi 'er's gaze burned with interest.
Lu Yin pointed at the sky. "Like white clouds. You can see them, but they're very ethereal. Like a hibiscus rising from clear water, a natural sculpture. Like the goddess of the Luo River, they're as beautiful as a painting."
Qiongxi 'er's breathing quickened. "You saw her?
Who?
Is she as beautiful as Starsibyl? "
To many people, Starsibyl was the most beautiful woman in the world. She was just too famous.
Lu Yin nodded. "I saw her. She's the woman who's going to marry Zi Rong. Her name's Zi Xue, and she's just too beautiful. In my opinion, she's even more beautiful than Starsibyl."
Qiongxi 'er did not believe him. "Impossible. How can there be such a beautiful woman?"
Lu Yin sighed. "What a pity. Such a beauty is going to marry that boor Zi Rong. No one will pity her in the future."
Qiongxi 'er rolled her eyes and stood up to leave.
"Where are you going?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
"To see a beauty." Qiongxi 'er's tone was excited and a little impatient. She liked beautiful women.
Zhu San stared blankly and then looked at Lu Yin with a blank expression.
Lu Yin asked, "Why aren't you chasing after her?"
"I can't. Men aren't allowed in that courtyard."
Lu Yin laughed. "Be careful. Your Xi 'er might be taken away. I heard that Zi Xue likes both men and women."
Zhu San's eyes turned red when he heard this. Qiongxi 'er liked both men and women, and she was so beautiful. If she met an even prettier person who liked both men and women, what could he do?
This was a love rival, even if it was a woman.
Zhu San could no longer sit still and hurriedly chased after them.
Lu Yin's eyes twinkled as he watched the two leave. Go ahead and cause a ruckus, the bigger the better.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a commotion to erupt outside the courtyard. Zhu San first tried to sneak in, but he was discovered as a man. He then started shouting and making it sound like a confession. He even said that Zi Xue liked both men and women, which attracted a lot of attention.
The Zi family couldn't do anything to him since the Zhu family was not a small family.
When Zi Tianchuan found out about this, his face turned green with anger.
At the entrance to the courtyard, Zi Rong, Zi Xianxian, and even Zi Fang appeared. Zi Rong's face darkened, and he grabbed Zhu San and was about to throw him out.
Zhu San angrily shouted, "Xi 'er, don't be with that woman! You won't be happy!"
Within the courtyard, Qiongxi 'er facepalmed, feeling rather helpless. She hadn't even met Zi Xue yet, and the only person in front of her was the apprehensive Luoshen. Luoshen could tell from the girl's words that there was something wrong with this girl's personality.
Qiongxi 'er sighed and looked at Luoshen with a burning gaze. What a beautiful girl. Was she Luoshen?
She had heard of this name before. "Little girl, I heard that you're very good at dancing. I know a little too. How about we dance together?"
Luoshen took a few steps back and shook her head. "No, there's no need."
At the entrance to the courtyard, Zi Rong ordered someone to tie up Zhu San. "Throw him out of Tianmao Planet."
"Brother, don't be rash. He's the heir of the Zhu family. Don't be rude," Zi Fang said.
Zi Xianxian frowned. "I think he's drunk too much. Take him to the bar and sober him up."
Zhu San was restrained, and he couldn't speak. His face was red with anxiety.
"Hold on." Zi Rong suddenly thought of something and approached Zhu San. He whispered, "Who told you that Zi Xue is that kind of person?"
Zhu San was released, and he blurted out, "Brother Lu said so."
"Which Brother Lu?" Zi Fang was puzzled.
Zi Xianxian and Zi Rong exchanged glances and knew who it was. Zi Rong's expression changed, and he hurriedly rushed into the courtyard.
At this moment, Lu Yin was facing Zi Xue in a room within the courtyard.
"You really don't have anything to say to me?
Just say the word, and I can save you, "he said as he stared at her.
Zi Xue was indifferent. "Alliance Leader Lu, the wedding is imminent. This is not appropriate."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "I've already done everything I can for you. I'm only doing this because we're both from Earth. Since you don't have anything to say, I'll let you go."
Zi Xue looked outside and fell silent.
