Lu Yin was stunned. “The Yu family just gave it to you?”
Ku Wei nodded excitedly.
Lu Yin looked over towards Wendy Yushan.
Wendy Yushan quietly explained, “It’s fine. Our family has no more connection to the Seven Courts any longer. He’s already promised not to reveal this location, and the elder gave our opportunity to him.”
Lu Yin nodded. “Congratulations, but you can’t get to the Neoverse.”
Ku Wei’s lips twisted, and he stubbornly said, “There should be a way! Brother Wei doesn’t believe that I can’t get back there. At worst, I’ll just take a detour.”
“A detour?” Lu Yin’s brows furrowed.
Ku Wei replied, “I can cut through the Technocracy to get into the Starfall Sea, as those two regions border each other. I should be able to get back from there.”
Lu Yin shook his head. The Technocracy?
He had heard of this place before, and he only knew that it was rumored that the entire territory was completely monitored. Anyone who entered that place would be discovered, and it was not very realistic to return to the Innerverse through that place.
At regular intervals, there were human powerhouses who would storm into the Technocracy and investigate the situation within this region, but they were all Envoys at the very least. Lu Yin and the others were still too weak.
Furthermore, the Starfall Sea was currently at war, and there were most likely powerhouses from the Sixth Mainland in the Technocracy as well. Taking such a detour would just be asking for death.
Ku Wei moved closer. “Brother Lu, Brother Wei has decided to wait for a decade. If the Astral River’s connection has not been restored by then, then I’ll take the detour through the Technocracy. However, a decade is very long, and that’s a lot of time to kill. Brother Wei will give you a chance to recruit an expert, so why don’t you give Brother Wei a part-time job in the Great Yu Empire? Brother Wei promises not to be corrupted!”
Lu Yin felt strange. “You want a position in the Great Yu Empire?”
Ku Wei nodded helplessly. “I have no choice. There’s nothing else to do—there’s nowhere else really worth exploring in the Outerverse, and the Astral Wilderness is too dangerous. Thus, I can only cast my lot in with you. Speaking of which, your ambition doesn’t seem too small, so this should be fun.”
Lu Yin thought about it and then said, “The position of the Tenth Squadron’s captain is vacant, so you can fill in there for now.”
“Alright!” Ku Wei was very happy with this offer. “I’m an officer now, hahaha.”
Lu Yin frowned. Given Ku Wei’s strength, he definitely qualified to be a captain. He was just an Explorer, but his strength rivaled a Hunter’s. More importantly, Lu Yin wanted to keep an eye on Ku Wei, and he wanted to see exactly what this person was trying to do.
There were definitely still other people from the Ku family hiding in the Outerverse, so if Ku Wei helped Lu Yin, then that would be quite the large helping hand.
Based on his interactions with Ku Wei, Lu Yin could sense that the Court of Seven Names was completely different from the Neohuman Alliance. As Ku Wei had said, they had only united for Progenitor Chen’s Mausoleum, and they were not actually evil.
This person wanted to join the Great Yu Empire, and it was possible that he was just following the Ku family’s arrangements. Even if Lu Yin did not agree to give Ku Wei a government position, the youth would still laze about in the Great Yu Empire, so Lu Yin might as well agree.
Lu Yin did not disturb the remnants of the Yu bloodline anymore, and he led their small group back to the spacecraft as they all returned to Zenyu Star.
During their trip back, he enquired about the matter of Shaman Skygod, but Wendy Yushan did not know anything as the elder had not said much about that. The elder had lived for far too long, and his memories had become a little murky.
This Shaman Skygod must have been terrifyingly powerful if they had massacred the Yu family.
“Since the Yu family did not betray the Seven Courts, and this Shaman Skygod chased after the Yu Family, then why wasn’t there some sort of retaliation from the Seven Courts?” Lu Yin asked.
Wendy Yushan glanced at him, and duly responded, “Even if you ask me, who should I ask?”
Lu Yin choked on his words, as that was indeed true. Wendy Yushan did not know much more than him.
“Right, why was that elder waiting for me?” Lu Yin was puzzled by this.
Wendy Yushan’s expression became a bit awkward, and she turned around. “I don’t know.”
Lu Yin was confused, but this woman’s temper seemed to have become even worse. She didn’t seem as detached as before, but she had become a little more eccentric, and it made it even harder to understand her.
