Chapter 298: Attitude (1/2)

It was time to have a chat with this captain who also held the Zishan name. Now that the Thirteenth Squadron came to mind, Lu Yin wondered if Da Lei had joined it as well.

Liuying Zishan’s residence was not far from the King Zishan residence, so Lu Yin had Bronsen take him to the captain’s home.

Lu Yin was stunned when he saw the mansion ahead of him; the gate had the exact same design as the gate in the Zishan residence.

Liuying Zishan stood silently before the main entrance. She was naturally very pretty, and even from a distance, her figure was sensuous and alluring. Lu Yin secretly sighed in admiration.

“The Thirteenth Captain, Liuying Zishan, pays her respects to the Royal Regent,” Liuying Zishan said as she greeted Lu Yin.

“Captain Liuying, there’s no need for such formalities.”

She looked at Lu Yin. “Does the Royal Regent have any business with me?”

Lu Yin looked towards the entrance of the residence. “It’s a familiar layout, but could I have a tour of the premises?”

Liuying Zishan fell silent, but then nodded soon after. “Please, come in.”

A familiar man appeared before Lu Yin at the entrance. Lu Yin knew this young man from when he had first rolled six pips—Possession. This young man was Da Lei, and he had been a guard in Liuying Zishan’s residence. It turned out that he had joined the Thirteenth Squadron after all.

Lu Yin and Da Lei looked at each other. For some reason, Da Lei felt that Lu Yin was very familiar, as if they had met before, even though he had no recollection of this person in his memory.

Liuying Zishan saw the two men exchange glances and said, “Da Lei, this is the King Zishan Lu Yin who recommended you to me.”

Da Lei was pleasantly surprised and immediately saluted. “Da Lei thanks King Zishan for his grace in saving my life.”

Lu Yin smiled. When he had Possessed this person, Da Lei had been wanted dead by powerful beings on his planet. If not for Lu Yin, then Da Lei definitely would have died there. That had also been the first time that Lu Yin had ever contacted Liuying Zishan. The two men could be considered to have been brought together by fate.

“There’s no need to be overly polite. Captain Liuying, let’s go,” Lu Yin said. He patted Da Lei’s shoulder but then seemed to move on as he entered the mansion.

Liuying Zishan also wanted to understand more about this matter, but it was not convenient for her to inquire since Lu Yin had not made any further comments.

Lu Yin naturally did not want to chat with Da Lei. There was no logical reason for him to have been aware of Da Lei, and the actual answer was that his innate gift was too ridiculous.

The Liuying Zishan mansion was smaller than the Huo family’s, but since she lived here alone, such an area was sufficient.

“The Royal Regent must have something on your mind for you to have come here,” Liuying Zishan probingly asked as she followed behind Lu Yin.

Lu Yin turned around and stared at her. “You have nothing to say to me?”

Liuying Zishan looked at Lu Yin and slowly bowed. “Thank you, for the Zishan family’s kindness in saving me. Liuying shows her thanks.”

Right as she was about to kneel down, Lu Yin hurriedly propped her up. “Captain Liuying, there’s no need for that.”

“If not for the Zishan Family, I would have died long ago, and in a very miserable manner too. I’ve always wanted to repay that kindness, but the Zishan family had withered away by the time I developed my strength. Hence, I could only change my surname to Zishan and try to preserve some of the Zishan family’s reputation. I hope King Zishan doesn’t take offense to my actions.”

Lu Yin nodded. Many people had said that Liuying Zishan had changed her surname to Zishan in order to acquire the treasures of the Zishan family, but it had long since been proven that the Zishan treasure was a lie. Despite that, she had not gone back on her original actions, proving her sincerity.

Liuying Zishan was a proud woman and did not see a need to explain her actions. She only did what she felt was right. This woman was quite admirable.

Lu Yin knew that he should not play games when faced with such a forthright person. “Captain Liuying, the Great Yu Empire is currently facing both internal and external troubles. I don’t know your answer, but could you help me?”

She solemnly nodded. “The Royal Regent should feel free to relay his instructions.”

Lu Yin smiled. “Alright, I’ll thank you in advance.”

Two days quickly passed by, and during that time, Lu Yin had personally visited the Huo family, Liuying Zishan, Ban Jiu, the research base, and even many of the ministers. However, he had not sought out the Auna family yet, which made them feel rather uneasy.

Xueshan Auna was gloomy. The matter of Jenny Auna had become a barrier between his family and Lu Yin. The Auna family would never be able to raise their heads if they did not resolve this issue.

If it were only Lu Yin, then Xueshan Auna would have been confident in suppressing the youth. After all, he was a Hunter. However, Lu Yin’s status was just too exalted. Even without considering his support in the Ten Arbiters Council, just his status as a Lockbreaker was enough to prevent the Auna family from rushing into action. Yet on top of everything else, Lu Yin also had the support of the Huo family, which gave Xueshan Auna a splitting headache.

“Brother, it’s been two days. He’s even visited Pi Lu, but not our Auna family. What is the Royal Regent trying to say?” Rocky Auna was unhappy.

Xueshan Auna’s eyes twinkled, seemingly thinking of something.

Rocky Auna looked up. “Brother, the Royal Regent is most likely dissatisfied with our Auna Family. Will he take action against us?”

Xueshan Auna shook his head. “He’s not that foolish. He’s waiting for us to seek him out.”

“Why?”
