It was worth mentioning that Luoshen had also been expelled by the Zi family. She was a celebrity who had been groomed by the Zi family to become the Jade Goddess. Now that she had been expelled, her fate would be miserable. Forget about becoming a celebrity, countless people with power and influence would try to recruit her.
Lu Yin could not bear to see her suffer, so he brought her along to the Great Yu Empire. From then on, she would be the star of the Great Eastern Alliance.
Although the Great Eastern Alliance's influence was not as wide as the Zi family's, it was still spread throughout the Outerverse.
Bai Xue and Luoshen followed Lu Yin to the Great Yu Empire.
Cai Jianqiang left as well, as he knew that Lu Yin was telling the truth the moment Zi Rong had used his Corpse King Transformation. Cai Jianqiang felt apologetic, as he had doubted Lu Yin in the past.
This person was too straightforward, and he had even apologized to Lu Yin, which made Lu Yin feel a little embarrassed.
As for the Zi family, even if they did not disband because of Zi Rong, they would still suffer in the future.
Lu Yin considered whether or not he should act against the Zi family, as they had already become his mortal enemy. If he left them alone, they might cause trouble in the future.
"Thank you for the trouble," Bai Xue whispered gratefully as she walked over to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled. "It's fine. I've caused too much trouble, so one more won't make a difference. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Zhang Dingtian. If not for him, you would have been threatened."
Bai Xue nodded. "I know."
Lu Yin was very curious about her experiences. "Who took you away from the Great Yu Empire?"
Bai Xue shook her head. "I don't know."
Her answer was the same as Zhang Dingtian's. The Hidden Earth Organization had not told them anything, which was strange. Taking them away was equivalent to training them and increasing their strength, but they had not told them anything about Earth. Were they not afraid that they would grow stronger and not feel grateful to the Hidden Earth Organization?
"You said that you killed Liu Shaoge?" Bai Xue muttered to herself.
Lu Yin smiled. "Do you care about him that much?"
Bai Xue's gaze turned cold. "He abandoned Earth and betrayed us. Even if you didn't kill him, I would have killed him myself."
"What's your relationship with him?" Lu Yin asked.
Bai Xue fell silent and did not answer.
Lu Yin did not ask any more questions. They were heading back to the Great Yu Empire, and Bai Xue wanted to visit Earth.
In the distance, Luoshen nervously walked in with drinks. "Sister Bai Xue, B-Big Brother Lu."
The two of them turned around, and Lu Yin was stunned. Luoshen was wearing a thin pink muslin dress, and her long golden hair cascaded down her back. She was as beautiful as a painting, and Lu Yin was momentarily breathless.
When she saw the surprise in his eyes, Luo Shen suppressed her nervousness and felt a little smug. "Brother Lu, here's a drink."
Bai Xue looked at Luo Shen meaningfully, then at Lu Yin, before leaving with the drinks.
Lu Yin smelled an intoxicating fragrance, but the woman beside him was even more intoxicating.
Luoshen was an absolute beauty to begin with, or else she would not have become the most popular celebrity in the Outerverse. There were too many people who coveted her, and her heart was now with Lu Yin.
The girls who had appeared around Lu Yin were all beautiful, but none of them were as brazenly seductive as Luoshen.
Luoshen was ready to throw caution to the wind. She liked Lu Yin, and from the time she had been rescued on Zenyu Star until now, she wanted to be with this man.
Lu Yin coughed. "When we return to Zenyu Star, I'll arrange for someone to protect you. You'll be the Great Eastern Alliance's ambassador."
Luoshen obediently agreed and stood beside Lu Yin. She looked up at the stars, not wanting to leave. To her, being able to stand beside this man for even a second was bliss.
The spacecraft entered Zenyu Star's space station, and Lu Yin had already asked Huan Sha to arrange for someone to pick up Luoshen. Bai Xue boarded another spacecraft and headed to Earth.
Lu Yin returned to King Zishan's palace and opened his gadget to contact someone: Zhu San.
If not for the trip to Heavenly Lush Planet, he would have forgotten about this person. This person did not seem to have any abilities, but it was all an act.
Zhu San was surprised that Lu Yin would contact him. "What's wrong, bro?
If there's anything good, just let me know. When I get married to Xi 'er, I'll give you a big red packet. "
"Neoverse, Seven Courts, Ce family," Lu Yin said.
On the other end, Zhu San's face changed and his face went pale. His pupils shrank to the size of needles. "Wh- what did you say?"
Lu Yin smiled. "There's no need to hide it. I know who your Zhu family is. You're from the Seven Courts' Ce family."
"Bro, are you stupid?
What Ce family?
I've never even heard of it. Alright, I'm not going to talk to you anymore. "Zhu San was about to hang up.
Lu Yin said, "Alright, if you don't want to talk to me, I'll talk to Jasper Mountain Sea."
Zhu San fell silent for a moment, and then his lazy and carefree tone changed. He asked in a low voice, "What do you know?"
Lu Yin smiled. "Take a guess."
Zhu San's face turned serious. "What do you want?"
"I'm curious. Are you chasing Qiong Xi 'er because you really like her or because you want to obtain Wanwan City?"
Zhu San did not hesitate and directly answered, "I really like her."
"I don't believe you."
"At this point, I have no reason to lie to you. You're right, my Zhu family did want to obtain Wanwan City from the start, but that was just my family's idea and had nothing to do with the Ce family. To the Ce family, Wanwan City has no value, and the Ce family did not deliberately arrange for us to be in Wanwan City. Our bloodline was accidentally discovered by the Ce family, and we are members of the Ce family who have been stranded outside."
Lu Yin said, "Alright, let's just leave it like that. I wonder if Jasper Mountain Sea will believe your words."
"What do you want?
If you want to use my family to reclaim Wanwan City, that's impossible. My family's ancestor is already dead, and while we know a lot about Wanwan City, you should know a lot as well. I can tell you whatever you want to know, and if you want money, we can support you. But if you want to use us, that's impossible. "
"You'll tell me whatever I ask?" Lu Yin raised a brow.
Zhu San sighed. "As long as we know."
"Alright, I want to know if Wei Rong is in Wanwan City." Lu Yin asked. Zhu San was just a chess piece to him, and he might be useful in the future when he reclaimed Wanwan City, but he did not necessarily have to. In Lu Yin's eyes, the Zhu family was not as valuable as Wei Rong. At least, before the Innerverse and Outerverse were reconnected, the Zhu family would not be of much value.
No, they were valuable, and their bloodline allowed Lu Yin to observe the chessboard again. Perhaps he could comprehend the Mystery of Strategy, but he would need Mister Mu's help.
"Wei Rong?
I don't know. "
"Then go and investigate."
Zhu San was furious. "Our Zhu family is not your subordinate, Lu Yin."
"Then I'll ask Jasper Mountain Sea to help me investigate."
Zhu San was speechless. "Exposing our family won't do you any good."
"There won't be any harm. No, there will be benefits. I'll be able to gain Jasper Mountain Sea's favor."
Zhu San felt aggrieved, as he had always known that Lu Yin was not easy to get along with. He was the type of person who was thick-skinned but was able to grasp people's hearts. Zhu San had always appeared in his previous image, partly on purpose and partly out of habit. Zhu San had once rejoiced that he had been able to view life with a smile while watching Lu Yin and the others play by themselves. These people thought that they were very smart, but they could not see through Zhu San, which made Zhu San feel like he was hiding in a fog.
This was especially true when Zhu San had caused such a ruckus in the Zi family. Did Zhu San really think that he was stupid enough to tell Zi Rong that it was Lu Yin and Zi Xue who liked both men and women? Zhu San had wanted Lu Yin to suffer the consequences of his own actions and become mortal enemies with the Zi family while Zhu San could hide behind the scenes and watch the show.
But now, he had experienced Lu Yin's sharpness. This guy had long since known that Zhu San was from the Ce family. Zhu San had thought that Zhu San was hiding in the fog, but this guy was actually hiding even deeper.
Every step that Lu Yin took had been calculated.
Zhu San was not only aggrieved, but he also felt a chill run down his spine. "Alright, I'll investigate for you. But don't think that you can use this to threaten my family in the future."
Lu Yin smiled. "We'll talk about future matters in the future. Don't worry, I won't stop you from moving."
Zhu San rolled his eyes and immediately hung up. Moving?
Impossible, not in this lifetime. He had to think of a way to break free from this guy's threat. Also, Zhu San was certain that if he could marry Qiong Xi'er in the future, he would definitely not invite this person. Whoever did so would be unlucky. It would be fine if the marriage was not consummated, but if his wife was taken away, that would be disgusting.
The Qiong family was the ruler of Myriad City, but the Zhu family's influence was not small either. The Zhu family had infiltrated Myriad City for many years, and they were second only to the Qiong family. They had even been able to uncover Myriad City's greatest secret, the underground control room, let alone the city lord's mansion.
Not long after, Zhu San contacted Lu Yin and confirmed that Wei Rong was hiding in the city lord's mansion.
Lu Yin had guessed that the Wei family had hidden themselves in Myriad City for so long without any contact with the outside world in order to confuse them. They had told them that Wei Rong was not in Myriad City, when in reality, Wei Rong was not far from them.
"Brother Zhu, do me another favor," Lu Yin casually said.
Zhu San angrily rebuked, "Lu Yin, I already said that you can't order us around."
"Are you deaf?
I already said that I'm helping, "Lu Yin said.
"What's the difference?" Zhu San was furious.
After a moment of silence, Zhu San gave in and gritted his teeth. "Speak."
"Someone deliberately leaked information about the tragedy at East San Dios. I want you to spread the word that Wei Rong was the one who leaked the information. In order to incite the Ten Arbiters against me, he used one of them, Lan Si," Lu Yin said.
Zhu San frowned. "What's the point of doing that?
Lan Si isn't stupid. He'll definitely know that you're trying to sow discord. "
"I didn't ask you to tell Lan Si. There's a person among them called Tie San. He's impulsive, and he admires Lan Si greatly. If he knew that someone from the Outerverse dared to use Lan Si, what would he do?" Lu Yin's lips curled up.
Zhu San sucked in a breath of cold air. Lan Si would definitely not be fooled, but Tie San was different. The Ten Arbiters' reputation could not be blasphemed, and the people of the Outerverse had not even heard of the Divine Fist. It was clear that the Ten Arbiters had maintained their dignity well. The Innerverse had always looked down on people from the Outerverse, and if Lan Si's people found out that someone from the Outerverse had dared to scheme against them, it would be an insult to them regardless of whether the scheme had succeeded or not. They would definitely cause trouble for Wei Rong.
"I want you to exaggerate Wei Rong's intelligence and make it sound as if he's the best in the world. Then, spread the news about the outcome of the confrontation at East San Dios. Say that Wei Rong succeeded and that he used the Divine Fist to take revenge on me. He succeeded in causing me to suffer," Lu Yin said. Although Lan Si's ultimate goal was to glorify the position of Arbiter, that goal was one thing. Being used was being used, and that did not mean that he would allow someone from the Outerverse to use him for his own goals. This was a matter of dignity.
