Chapter 1372: The Situation

The fatty instantly motioned to shush Lu Yin. His face, which was flushed from drinking, instantly paled. "Don\'t mention that!"

Lu Yin\'s eyes flickered. There was clearly no one around them, and yet the fatty was so scared because of a single phrase he had let slip. Could he have mentioned something that was related to some terrible secret? The White Dragon Rolls Over, and Lu? A place? Or could it be the Lu family?

Despite his reluctance to consider such a possibility, Lu Yin was growing more and more certain that he had found a clue. He suddenly remembered what Long Xi had said before: the White Dragon rolling over was enough to push the entire Higher Realm away. But what did that have to do with the Lu family? Was there a connection?

What the fatty had said made it sound like the entire Higher Realm would be shoved away.

Lu Yin\'s thoughts were in chaos. There was a hazy thought that he was trying to grasp, but he was interrupted by the fatty, "Bro, don\'t worry! Zhuo Si doesn’t care about anything in the Yinshan District, so we don’t need to do any dangerous missions, so the Celestial Frost Sect can’t do anything to you. Also, I’m from the Wang family, and don’t have much to do with the Celestial Frost Sect, so I won’t make any trouble for you, so you’ll be safe as long as you stay in the Yinshan District."

Lu Yin really wanted to ask about what the fatty had just mentioned, but given the fatty’s terror after he had slipped up, it was clear that this was not something that could be brought up.

"By the way, it’s pretty obvious that no matter how stupid Mo Gaohe might be, he would never use someone to trick you who might team up with you. How did you pull that off?” The fatty was quite curious about this, as were most of the other people who had watched the events unfold. After all, no one believed some nonsense like Unseen Light had a righteous heart. That was nothing but bullshit.

Lu Yin smiled. "He’s an old friend who I hadn’t seen for many years. In the past, I saved his life once."

"Hahahaha! That idiot Mo Gaohe, he was just too unlucky to find such a person by chance! Hahahaha!"

Lu Yin also found the situation quite amusing. He was not sure if he was lucky, or if Mo Gaohe was completely unlucky.

Mo Gaohe\'s schemes had been utterly ruthless, and he had only been unlucky.

The door opened at this time, and Lu Yin and the fatty both looked up to see Wang Yun staring at them with cold eyes.

Seeing that Wang Yun was the one interrupting them surprised the fatty, but he just grinned. "Sister Yun, why haven\'t I seen you for so long? Did you go out?"

Wang Yun ignored the fatty and focused on only Lu Yin. "I heard that Mo Gaohe got expelled because of you?"

Lu Yin blinked. "No. It was because of what he had been doing."

Wang Yun’s voice was cold. "He\'s not that stupid. He had an elaborate scheme he pulled off when he first arrived in the Yinshan District. I heard that you’re actually Long Xi\'s husband, Long Qi?"

Lu Yin nodded.

Wang Yun\'s tone grew even worse. "When you see Long Xi next, give her a message for me: I won’t just let what happened go, and I will get revenge."

With that, she suddenly shut the door and left.

Lu Yin turned to look at the fatty with a blank expression.

The fatty helplessly spread his hands "There’s a grudge between them."

"What kind of grudge?" Lu Yin asked, feeling a bit of a little headache. Mo Gaohe had just been dealt with, only for an even more ruthless person to pop up. Was there any end to it all?

The fatty carefully ran to the door and peaked out. He sighed after seeing that Wang Yun was really gone, and he returned to his seat. He started whispering to Lu Yin, "Wang Yun used to get bullied by Long Xi all the time when she was a kid. Long Xi painted Wang Yun’s face yellow with shit and took pictures of it."

Lu Yin felt sluggish. What? Was this real? Why did what he just heard sound contradictory to what he knew? Taking pictures did not sound like something that people would do in the Perennial World, but after a moment’s through, Lu Yin remembered that there were some technological civilizations living on White Mountain. This universe was home to diverse cultures, much like the Fifth Mainland, but most were not very useful in the overall picture of things.

"Long Xi spread that picture everywhere, and Wang Yun hated Long Xi from that moment on," the fatty said with a smirk.

Lu Yin was left speechless. "Wang Yun won\'t help the Celestial Frost Sect try to get rid of me because of this, will she?"

The fatty shook his head. "That won’t happen. Given that you’re caught up in the dispute between the Celestial Frost Sect and the White Dragon Clan, there’s no way that Wang Yun would dare get involved. She’s not stupid."

Lu Yin wondered. "How was Long Xi able to bully Wang Yun like? Was there a massive difference in strength? It seems it would have to be pretty big."

The fatty looked at Lu Yin oddly with confusion filling his eyes.

Lu Yin was caught off guard. This was not good; he had clearly said something wrong.

"Bro, your White Dragon Clan is really different from normal people because of your special bloodline, and you people have lifespans that are a hundred times that of a regular human. If you go by just appearance, Long Xi should be about as old as Wang Yun, but the truth is that Long Xi was already about a hundred years old when Wang Yun was born, but because of how slowly she aged, she looked like she was only about five or six years old. Wouldn’t it be normal for her to bully Wang Yun?" the fatty asked.

Lu Yin had not expected the members of the White Dragon Clan to possess such a characteristic, and he had not seen anything about it.

"Bro, you White Dragons really like to brag about your special bloodline when you’re bored." The fatty helplessly shook his head.

Lu Yin let out a sigh of relief and replied with a smile. "I wasn’t trying to show off, I just spoke too quick without thinking."

The fatty shook his head and seemed quite depressed.

The next day, Gate Master Zhuo Si called for Lu Yin. Because Lu Yin\'s identity as Long Qi had been exposed, he was no longer an ordinary member of Humility\'s Gate in the Yinshan District, and so he was given Mo Gaohe’s position and was promoted to one of Humility\'s Gate’s captains for the Yinshan Mountains.

Such a position would not be given out so casually in Humility\'s Gate’s other bases, but in the Yinshan District, those with important backgrounds were given the rank of captain.

Mo Gaohe had been made a captain because of being from the Celestial Frost Sect, and Wang Dashuai had been given the same position because of coming from the Wang family. Given the fact that Lu Yin was from the White Dragon Clan, it was perfectly normal for him to be given the position of captain as well.

However, no one moved to follow Lu Yin. The wastrels who had followed Mo Gaohe looked down on Lu Yin, because he was placed in an awkward position. In particular, everyone knew that the Celestial Frost Sect’s Junior Progenitor, Bai Shaohong, was targeting Lu Yin, so who would want to follow him? It was to the point that Unseen Light was the only person to join Lu Yin’s team.

The fatty felt quite sympathetic towards Lu Yin, but he was also not willing to join Lu Yin’s team. Anyone who followed Lu Yin would be making themselves Bai Shaohong’s enemy, and how many people in the entire Perennial World would willingly do such a thing?

After Lu Yin became a captain, Long Xi called him, and she did not look happy at all. “Didn’t I tell you not to make any trouble? Why didn’t you tell me about Mo Gaohe?"

Lu Yin felt helpless. "I don\'t know what he was going to do."

Long Xi replied sharply, "You didn’t know? Unseen Light betrayed Mo Gaohe for you; don’t try to tell me that’s just a coincidence."

"Unseen Light is an old friend of mine," Lu Yin explained.

Long Xi stared at him and finally let out a snort. "Just remember not to get arrogant just because you won this time. Mo Gaohe might be an idiot, but Bai Shaohong is not stupid. Even if he wasn’t able to deal with you the first time, he’ll definitely try a second and a third time. Don’t do anything in the Yinshan District for my sake. Don’t even go on patrol. I’ll call my brother and see about allowing you to retire as soon as possible with some accomplishments."

Lu Yin nodded, and then suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Wang Yun asked me to tell you something. She said that she will definitely get revenge for what happened in the past."

Long Xi\'s expression changed, and she became arrogant and started mocking Wang Yun, "By relying on herself? That little girl still hasn’t changed.”

She then cautioned Lu Yin, “Make sure you stay away from Wang Yun. There’s something wrong with that girl’s brain, and she likes to try to kill herself. She can take care of herself, but if you die in the Yinshan Mountains, your body won’t even be found in a ditch."

Lu Yin snorted.

Long Xi ended her call with Lu Yin, and she then immediately called Long Tian to ask her brother to try to arrange Lu Yin retirement to happen as soon as possible.

Long Tian was a little surprised by the recent events. "I actually underestimated your husband. He was able to escape one of Yu Chen’s schemes."

Long Xi\'s face changed a bit. "The whole plot in the Yinshan Mountains was designed by her?"

"Who else could have done it? She’s Bai Shaohong’s most beautiful and loyal follower. She’s famous for trapping people in her plots, and Bai Shaohong doesn\'t have the desire to try to make plans against your Long Qi," Long Tian explained.

Long Xi\'s face grew solemn. "Long Qi was lucky this time around. The person they wanted to use to trick him turned out to be one of his old friends. He won’t be that lucky next time. That woman rarely screws up when she’s making her plans."

Long Tian agreed, "I know she’s ruthless, so have him stay in the Yinshan District for no more than one more month. Within this time, I’ll set things up for him to retire as soon as possible. It’s not too realistic to get him out already by Humility\'s Gate’s rules, but I’ll pay what’s necessary to see it done."

Long Xi quietly replied, "I’ll do my best to help you deal with others when we go to the Dominion Realm."

Long Tian was satisfied with her response. "That\'s what I asked for."

After seeing that Long Tian’s image had disappeared, Long Xi sank into silence. She was aware of how dangerous the Dominion Realm was, and she knew that was less than a 50% survival rate during the expeditions after the previous Yuanlun Festivals. Also, no more than one or two people would actually encounter any sort of opportunity, and it was not rare for even the Junior Progenitors to die during the excursions. Long Xi was not weak, and she had various power vessels that could protect her, but none of that really increased her chances of survival by very much. Everyone who would be allowed into the Dominion Realm would be someone with at least her level of strength.

Most important was the fact that Long Xi did not have a particularly close relationship with Long Tian. If they encountered a dangerous situation, Long Tian would take care of himself first and ignore her. However, Long Tian would also act as a deterrent to Bai Shaohong, which would improve her prospects.

From the outside, Long Xi was the White Dragon Clan’s princess, and one of the most beautiful women in the Perennial World. However, she was not even allowed to decide upon her own husband or even where she lived. Unbidden, a person appeared in her mind. They had a kind smile and had worshiped Long Xi her entire life. Unfortunately, she would never see that person again.

Long Xi shook her head and let out a long breath. She stood there, her hair hanging loose and her fists clenched. No one living in this universe would gain anyone’s pity by being weak. All she could do was try to improve her lot in life by improving her strength. Her own, and that of another person.

Thinking about this, Long Xi lifted her hand back up and called Lu Yin again.

Lu Yin was surprised to receive another call, as Long Xi had just spoken to him. Was she worried about him?

"Do you know who was the person behind the plot that targeted you?" Long Xi asked Lu Yin. Her gaze was more profound than normal.

Lu Yin was curious about this matter. "Who was it?"

Such a perfect plan had reminded Lu Yin of Wei Rong, and how he was able to determine battles by how he manipulated events in the outside world.

"Yu Chen. She’s Bai Shaohong\'s personal maid. She\'s a well-known figure in the Higher Realm," Long Xi said.
