Chapter 137: The Steady Senior Brother (Seeking Subscription)
Chapter 137: The Steady Senior Brother (Seeking Subscription)
Lin Yuan briefly recounted the incident with Hei Yuqiao to his senior brother.
"How dare that young son of Hei Yumo act so boldly?" The senior brother shook his head. Even Hei Yumo had to be respectful in front of him, let alone his son.
"Junior brother."
"How do you plan to handle this matter?"
The senior brother asked casually.
This matter was indeed not difficult for him.
In fact, it was extremely easy.
The simplest way would be for him to personally contact Hei Yumo.
He could make him keep his young son in line.
With the senior brother's status, a single word would be enough to shake the Hei Yu Family.
Most likely, Hei Yuqiao would be captured and brought back to the Chi Kun main star to apologize the very next day.
The senior brother understood Hei Yumo too well; he was skilled at weighing the pros and cons and assessing the situation.
Of course, This method was not without its risks.
There was a high possibility that Lin Yuan's true identity would be exposed.
If Lin Yuan chose this method, the senior brother would suggest that he go to the Chi Kun main star before contacting Hei Yumo.
"Senior brother, I want to stay on the Canglan star for a few more years," Lin Yuan said after some thought.
Before reaching the sixth stage, Lin Yuan was reluctant to go to the Chi Kun main star.
There were too many strong cultivators there, even under the watchful eye of the Chi Kun star master.
Lin Yuan had quite a few secrets.
For example, the Gate of Myriad Worlds.
And the Martial Arts Evolution System.
Before reaching the sixth stage, an Evolver's soul had not yet fully fused with their fundamental evolution path, making it easier for secrets to be discovered.
Lin Yuan wasn't worried about the Gate of Myriad Worlds; even virtual worlds couldn't replicate it, so he doubted that the Chi Kun star master would be able to discern its truth.
However, his soul was currently in the process of slowly merging with the Martial Arts Evolution path, a critical juncture.
If the powerful cultivators on the Chi Kun main star sensed anything amiss, it would definitely spell trouble.
Given the current potential of the Martial Arts Evolution path,
If the founder's identity were to be exposed, the consequences would be far more severe than if Lin Yuan's identity as one of the thirteen peak masters of the Chi Kun lineage were revealed.
"You don't want to leave the Canglan star?"
The senior brother stroked his chin.
This meant that he couldn't openly warn the Hei Yu Family.
"I know what to do," the senior brother nodded and assured Lin Yuan, "Junior brother, rest assured. You can focus on your cultivation on the Canglan star. That Hei Yuqiao will not dare to make a move against you."
"Nor will he be able to capture any information about your true identity through those 'divination'-type Evolvers."
The senior brother's expression turned slightly solemn.
Divination-type Evolvers were individually weak, but they could have a significant influence on the grand scheme of things.
Throughout the history of human civilization, there had been numerous top diviners who used the universe as their chessboard and manipulated countless peak races as their pawns, orchestrating events to their liking.
However, top diviners were extremely rare, and the current top diviners of human civilization were all stationed in the central star domain of humanity, orchestrating events in other races from across a million light-years.
"Then, thank you, senior brother," Lin Yuan said sincerely.
Given the senior brother's status, the fact that he readily agreed to Lin Yuan's request was already a great favor.
Even if the other seventh-stage Evolvers asked the senior brother for help, it might not be so easily granted.
"There's no need for thanks between brothers," the senior brother said nonchalantly. "I'm just waiting for you, junior brother, to reach the sixth stage so we can drink together."
Canglan Star, Central Continent Estate.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, feeling reassured.
Although he was almost certain that Hei Yuqiao wouldn't dare to do anything reckless, it was a relief to have the senior brother's promise as a safeguard against any extreme possibilities.
"Sixth stage," Lin Yuan thought.
"Once I reach the sixth stage...
"My soul will be fully fused with the Martial Arts Evolution path...
"Then, outsiders will have no way of discovering the evolution path I cultivate."
The sixth stage represented a qualitative change for Lin Yuan, not just in terms of strength but also in identity.
Upon reaching that stage, his ability to protect himself would increase significantly, and he could publicly reveal his identity as one of the thirteen peak masters, appearing before everyone in his true form.
There would be no more need for the secrecy and concealment he currently had to maintain.
Personal Space.
Hei Yuqiao sat on his throne, his expression gloomy.
"Young Master," the elder Bei Zhao, dressed in a black robe, appeared and bowed to Hei Yuqiao.
"That Lin Yuan rejected me," Hei Yuqiao said, looking down at Bei Zhao.
"He even rejected my personal invitation?" Bei Zhao's expression turned astonished.
An invitation from the direct heir of the Hei Yu Family was a great honor. How dare Lin Yuan refuse?
"What should we do now, Young Master?" Bei Zhao asked cautiously.
“What should we do now?” Bei Zhao asked cautiously.
"What do you think I should do?" Hei Yuqiao asked.
"He's just a genius from a backward medium-life planet. It's his loss if he refuses Young Master's invitation, Young Master doesn't need to care about him, just continue to recruit other Evolvers." Bei Zhao suggested.
What he meant was that it would be better to leave well enough alone and not waste time on someone like this.
"No," Hei Yuqiao refused.
"He's not an ordinary genius." Hei Yuqiao growled.
Lin Yuan was the 'think tank' of the Hei Yu Family and one of the designated 223 Evolvers. He had the potential to shine in the Star Domain Arena and bring him, Hei Yuqiao, a massive fortune. Such a genius must be brought under his control.
"Is Young Master set on that Lin Yuan?" Bei Zhao continued to ask.
"Yes." Hei Yuqiao nodded.
"It's not difficult, just a bit troublesome." Bei Zhao pondered for a moment.
"Speak," Hei Yuqiao urged, his spirit stirring.
"Since Lin Yuan is unwilling to join Young Master's ranks, we can force him to do so." Bei Zhao said.
"Force him?" Hei Yuqiao frowned, "But we must not violate the Federation's laws and regulations."
The price of violating the Federation's laws was high, and even if he, Hei Yuqiao, wanted to violate them, it would only be at a critical moment. For example, when vying for the position of clan leader. It wouldn't be worth it to do so for Lin Yuan.
"Of course," Bei Zhao nodded.
He had no intention of breaking the law either.
"The reason why Lin Yuan is unwilling to join Young Master's ranks is probably because he has an attachment to Canglan Star and yearns for his home planet." Bei Zhao ventured.
The home planet held a special place in the hearts of many Evolvers. Powerful Evolvers roamed the vast universe, encountering planets with diverse cultures, but there was only one home planet.
"Go on," Hei Yuqiao urged, looking at Bei Zhao.
"Since that's the case, we can start with Canglan Star." Bei Zhao said, pausing for a moment before continuing, "If I remember correctly, the Hei Yu Family has had quite a bit of trade with Canglan Star in the past, haven't they?"
As one of the top five powers in the Chi Kun Star Domain, the Hei Yu Family's influence was vast, and they had interstellar trade with most of the planets in the star domain. This was also normal since some rare minerals and raw materials from Canglan Star needed to go through the Hei Yu Family's commerce to be quickly turned into cash. There were also shopping channels that went through the Hei Yu Family.
"What do you mean?" Hei Yuqiao's eyes lit up.
"With Young Master's identity, he has the ability to cut off all trade between the family and Canglan Star."
"At that time, Young Master can spread the word that the reason the family is not trading with Canglan Star is because of Lin Yuan's ungratefulness."
Bei Zhao smiled faintly, "If there are no surprises, Lin Yuan will surely bear the censure and condemnation of countless citizens of Canglan Star, and may even become the sinner of the entire planet. By then, he will surely realize the power and status of Young Master and willingly submit."
"Good, good." Hei Yuqiao's face broke into a smile.
Cutting off trade with Canglan Star did not violate the Federation's laws and regulations. After all, the human civilization advocated free trade, and if one party did not want to trade, the Three Goddesses certainly wouldn't force them.
"This method may consume some of Young Master's connections, after all, cutting off interstellar trade with Canglan Star is a mutually detrimental method." Bei Zhao carefully asked.
Hei Yuqiao was still in the family's testing phase and did not have many resources or methods at his disposal.
"It doesn't matter."
"It's not a big deal."
Hei Yuqiao waved his hand.
Cutting off trade with Canglan Star was not a problem, they could just choose other planets, it would just increase the cost a bit. He, Hei Yuqiao, had the authority to make such a decision.
"You may leave." Hei Yuqiao said, looking down at Bei Zhao.
"Yes." The elder Bei Zhao, dressed in a black robe, disappeared into the distance.
Seated on his throne, Hei Yuqiao pondered for a moment before contacting an elder.
A moment later, a holographic screen appeared before Hei Yuqiao.
A man wearing a loose coat looked at him.
"Little Claw, what do you want with me?" The man in the loose coat asked indifferently.
"Second Uncle." Hei Yuqiao stood up from his throne and bowed respectfully.
"Second Uncle, I want to cut off all trade between the family and Canglan Star." Hei Yuqiao stated his intention directly.
"Canglan Star?"
The man in the loose coat pulled up the information about this planet and frowned, "It's just an ordinary medium-life planet, how did it offend you?"
The man in the loose coat was a high-ranking member of the Hei Yu Family, in charge of all trade within the Morning Star Galaxy. If he was willing, cutting off trade with Canglan Star would be just a word.
"I want to recruit a genius Evolver from Canglan Star to fight for me in the Star Domain Arena, but he refused."
Hei Yumo said.
"Is that all?"
The man in the loose coat frowned.
If it was merely a matter of failing to recruit the desired person and then using the influence of the Hei Yu Family to suppress them, the man in the loose coat would be very disappointed in Hei Yuqiao.
"Second Uncle, this person is important to me."
Hei Yuqiao gritted his teeth and revealed the matter of the family's 'think tank'.
"So, he's the genius Evolver chosen by the 'think tank'?" The man in the loose coat's expression turned solemn.
For countless tens of thousands of years, the Hei Yu Family's 'think tank' had made innumerable contributions. Especially the chief of the think tank, who had advised Hei Yumo to migrate the entire family to the Chi Kun Star Domain, leading to the prominence of the Hei Yu Family today.
"I will cut off all trade with Canglan Star."
"Little Claw, you need to work hard too and show those family members what you're capable of."
After speaking, the man in the loose coat ended the call with Hei Yuqiao.
"Mr. Lin, after your rejection of Hei Yuqiao's recruitment, he will definitely take further action, most likely by interfering with Canglan Star's interstellar trade."
In the manor's main building, the captain of the guard, Hou Ming, analyzed the situation.
"I think so too," Lin Yuan nodded.
With his parents and sister all living in the manor, his entire family was under the protection of the planet's defense system, not to mention the surveillance of the Goddess of Wisdom. Hei Yuqiao had no leverage to threaten Lin Yuan.
With the influence of the Hei Yu Family, the most they could do was cut off trade with Canglan Star and try to put pressure on Lin Yuan.
"Hei Yuqiao assumes that I refused his recruitment because I value Canglan Star too much and am reluctant to leave," Lin Yuan thought to himself.
"Even if they cancel trade with Canglan Star and place all the blame on me, it will only incite some negative opinions from the citizens of Canglan Star."
"As long as Mr. Lin doesn't mind that, there will be no impact."
Captain Hou glanced at Lin Yuan.
In fact, it was easy for him to say, but when the overwhelming public opinion fell on one's head, being at the center of it all was a completely different matter.
"I won't mind it," Lin Yuan shook his head.
Even when he was the Great Demon King, Xiahou Yuan, hated by everyone in the Five Domains during his fourth shuttle, Lin Yuan didn't care at all, let alone now?
"What we need to pay attention to now is whether Hei Yuqiao will take any extreme actions after cutting off trade with Canglan Star and finding that it doesn't affect you."
Captain Hou's face showed a trace of worry.
People were not machines, they had emotions, desires, and naturally, impulsiveness.
Hou Ming was worried that Hei Yuqiao would lose his temper and act recklessly, even if the possibility was extremely low.
"No problem," Lin Yuan said calmly.
He had already met with his senior brother and informed him about Hei Yuqiao's actions.
His senior brother had assured him that nothing unexpected would happen.
"I wonder what method Senior Brother will use to prevent Hei Yuqiao from causing trouble?"
Lin Yuan suddenly became curious.
Canglan Star spaceship landing area.
A bald man walked out.
"Woo woo woo, is this Canglan Star? The place where my little junior brother grew up?"
The bald man took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the moment.
"My little junior brother wants to cultivate quietly on Canglan Star for a few years and doesn't want to be disturbed by Hei Yuqiao. The most foolproof way is for me to come and preside over Canglan Star myself."
"With me here on Canglan Star, even Hei Yumo wouldn't dare to step foot here."
The bald man left the spaceship landing area and found a place to stay.
With his strength, a mere thought was enough to envelop the entire Canglan Star, and even the planet's defense system couldn't detect his presence.
"This clone of mine is something that no one outside knows about, and even the 'divination' type Evolvers don't know of its existence, so they naturally can't divine any useful information."
The bald man gazed toward the direction of the Central Continent.
He only slightly sensed the aura of the Central Continent without delving deeper, so Lin Yuan wouldn't discover him.
"Just a few decades, as long as I can leave a good impression on my little junior brother, it will be worth it."
The bald man now hoped that Hei Yuqiao would be a little impulsive.
At least then he could show his worth and prove that he hadn't come all this way for nothing.
Two updates completed.
