Chapter 721: Lu Yin And Wei Rong (1/2)

Wei Rong looked over at Wei Xin'er and barked, “Xin’er, where are your manners? Stand up.”

Wei Xin'er snorted and turned around.

Wei Rong wanted to say something else to the girl, but Lu Yin smiled. “Long time no see, Miss Wei Xin'er.”

Confused, Wei Xin'er turned to look at Lu Yin. “Have we met?”

Lu Yin’s face transformed as he went back to the appearance that he had used on Sourcepeak Planet.

Wei Xin'er was astounded, and she stood up and covered her mouth before pointing at Lu Yin. “It’s you.”

Lu Yin laughed at her and gestured for Wei Rong to sit. He then had Zhao Ran serve some tea.

Wei Xin'er glared at Lu Yin with wide eyes. “You’re Lu Yin. Aren’t you a five star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker? Why did you go through the initial assessment? Hold on, you must have some unspeakable secret if you had to alter your appearance for the exam! Are you the one who instigated the battle on Sourcepeak Planet?”

Lu Yin gasped in surprise. “It’s no wonder why you’re Wei Rong’s sister—you’re so smart. There was indeed someone who instigated things there, but it wasn’t me. You should ask your brother about it.”

Wei Xin'er was at a loss, and she looked over at Wei Rong.

Wei Rong softly said, “I’ll tell you about it when we get back. For now, sit down.”

Wei Xin'er’s eyes were filled with curiosity and confusion, but she knew that this was not the time to discuss such things. She could only purse her lips and sit back down as she looked at Lu Yin.

Lu Yin was astonished. “Loss? Why is Brother Wei using such words? You clearly achieved your objectives.”

Wei Rong smiled. “But the truth is that I paved the way for Brother Lu, who ended up as the biggest winner.”

“I was only at the right place at the right time. Brother Wei’s methods were brilliant, and actually, after the battle concluded, I was hoping to be able to meet with Brother Wei,” Lu Yin exclaimed.

Wei Rong smiled. “We are both the same in this. There’s a matter that I wish to consult Brother Lu about.”

“Please.”

Wei Rong said, “At the beginning of everything, Brother Lu clearly agreed to call out Saul at the end of the competition, so why did you suddenly go back on your word?”

Lu Yin did not hide anything and directly answered, “Because I discovered that there were still other people cooperating with Felynn, and since that person didn’t want to be discovered by me, there had to have been some reason for it.”

Wei Rong instantly came to a realization. “So Brother Lu discovered my people. Only Felynn can be blamed for being so foolish. She had some understanding of Brother Lu, but she still wanted to pull him into the events.”

“Felynn pulled me in to guard herself against you. Among the Lockbreakers, she can already be considered as a rather astute person.”

“Actually, I have a doubt that I would like Brother Wei to clear up as well.”

“Please.”

“Why not go with Felynn? With Brother Wei’s methods, controlling Felynn would be too simple. Yi Feng could then keep his identity hidden, remaining inside the Society. There was no need to expose him.”

Wei Rong smiled. “Because I don’t need a woman who tries to act smart on her own.”

Lu Yin understood and also thought that Wei Rong was right. If not for Felynn trying to act smart by pulling Lu Yin into existing plans, he would have never discovered the Wei family’s participation. If that hadn’t happened, then he would not have contacted Wang Wen, and the final outcome of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society moving its headquarters to Frostwave Weave would have never occurred. All of these events had ultimately occurred because of Felynn; she had thought that she was smart by balancing the Wei family against Lu Yin. However, she had ended up being played by both sides, even trapping herself in the end.

This sort of person would cause more problems than achieve accomplishments.

Wei Xin'er listened to their conversation, and her eyes kept jumping from one to the other. She felt that they were very similar. From what they were saying, the Interim President of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society, Felynn, was nothing more than a foolish woman. These two looked down upon everything, treating the universe as if it was a chessboard and they the players. To them, Felynn, the Lockbreaker Society, and even Saul and the Enlighters were nothing more than chess pieces.

Lu Yin and Wei Rong did not avoid any topic, and they also did not conceal anything from each other concerning the matters of Sourcepeak Planet. Of course, what should be asked was asked, and what should be omitted was omitted by both of them. As they continued to chat, Lu Yin and Wei Rong both felt the other was very agreeable.

Zhao Ran brewed some more tea for the two youths.

“It’s really delightful that I was able to chat with Brother Lu today. This trip to Frostwave Weave was not in vain.” Wei Rong smiled.

Lu Yin similarly felt good about this meeting, and although they were not scheming against each other at this moment, their conversation felt even more brilliant than conducting schemes. This was the way smart people communicated with each other, and the two young men both avoided questions that their opponent would not or could not answer. “Brother Wei, if you are able to stay for a few more days, allow me to fulfill my duty as your host.”

“Absolutely. Brother Lu said that he would take me out to tour Zenyu Star before.”

“Haha, no problem. After the Alliance Conference, Brother Wei can look for me at any time.”

“It’s a deal.”

“A deal. Right, I have one more question.” Lu Yin looked at Wei Rong seriously and then calmly asked, “Why did you choose the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society?”

Wei Rong rearranged his face, and his lips curled upwards. “Because they stand in a position that is too high.”
