Chapter 68: Lu Yin And Silver (1/2)

Silver’s lips curved up as he watched Lu Yin with envy, “You’re so lucky, kid. You get the fruits of your ancestor’s labors, haha.”

Lu Yin stared at the man, who simply continued laughing for a while before saying, “The Zishan Family had two marriages arranged in the past; one was with the Aunas, decided upon by the last head of that family. The other was with the Yushans, a promise between the two Undyings that’s dragged on to this day. While the Zishan Family was extinguished all this while, you’re here now. That means those two marriages are yours too; I’m so jealous!”

Lu Yin frowned, “Marriage arrangements from centuries ago don’t count for much in the present day.”

Silver scoffed, “Oh? You think that’s very long, now? Explorers typically live for centuries, The Undying Yushan has been in power for eight. Those promises from a few centuries ago aren’t even half of one man’s life; outside of The Undying Zishan, those that made these promises are still alive and well.”

Lu Yin felt his heart drop at this revelation, feeling the incoming headache already. He’d thought he was a free soul, but now there were so many issues including an arranged marriage with the imperial family. If there was one thing he’d learnt about The Undying Yushan, it was that the Emperor took promises very seriously. There was a chance— no, it was almost certain that this marriage wouldn’t be cancelled!

“That’s not all you have to consider. The Zishan Family once controlled nearly half the Great Yu Empire’s troops. While the Zishan Family vanished, quite a few of their former subordinates are still alive. Take Sigmund Mathers, for example; his family was once subordinate to yours as well.”

“What else?” Lu Yin asked.

“A lot, but why would I tell you?”

“You’ve said so much already, what do you want? Just tell me.”

Silver smirked, “Did you find something somewhere?”

“Nope!” Lu Yin’s eyes flashed.

“You don’t need to deny it, I can sense it in your cosmic ring.”

“Oh? What can you sense?”

Silver laughed eerily and shook his head, pointing at his eyes, “Red.”

Lu Yin narrowed his eyes, “That belongs to you?”

“Our first meeting was no coincidence. The things we were looking for weren’t the same, but they were located at the same place.”

“I can give it back.”

Silver turned and looked into the distance, “It’s fine, you can keep it. It might be useful in the future.”

“That thing is useless to me.”

“Only because you don’t know what it represents.”

“Does your assassination attempt on Zhang Dingtian have anything to do with it?”

“You really want to know?” Silver grinned like a fox.

Silver made a shushing gesture, “Don’t say that; how could I be connected to any zombies? They’re only a failed product of evolution, they have nothing to do with me. I just help move things around.”

Lu Yin didn’t understand; there were still far too many things in the universe that he didn’t know.
