"Sorry to trouble you with looking after my son, Alliance Leader Lu. If you have time, please come visit me in the Smoke Swallowing Mountain Range," Old Ghost Gu said. Though he was wary of Lu Yin, he knew Lu Yin and Gu Xiaoer got along fairly well. And although Lu Yin was ruthless, he was also forthright.
Lu Yin smiled. "I can't come just yet, but I can make a deal with you, Senior Gu."
"Oh? What kind of deal?" Old Ghost Gu asked curiously.
Beside him, Gu Xiaoer cut straight to the point. "Enough beating around the bush. Dad, Brother Lu went to a strange place and caught a woman who has higher-grade smoke than we do. She also knows the Smoke Ancestor's legacy."
Old Ghost Gu was astonished. "What did you say?"
Lu Yin smiled.
Gu Xiaoer was speechless. "That's a real game changer, huh?"
Old Ghost Gu looked at Lu Yin. "Was there a huge tree where you went, Alliance Leader Lu?"
Lu Yin was surprised. "You know about it, Senior? Have you been there?"
Old Ghost Gu didn't elaborate. Instead, he said, "It seems Alliance Leader Lu wants to help improve my Smoke Swallowing Mountain Range's strength."
"Of course. I, Lu Yin, like nothing better than a mutually beneficial deal," Lu Yin replied.
"Then what can my Smoke Swallowing Mountain Range do for you, Alliance Leader Lu?" Old Ghost Gu asked gravely.
Lu Yin looked at Gu Xiaoer. "What did you trade to the Heavenly Star Sect for the Heavenly Star Art?"
Gu Xiaoer blinked, then looked at the screen. "Dad, get it now?"
Old Ghost Gu laughed. "That should be easy enough. How much White Smoke do you want in exchange for handing that woman over to us, Alliance Leader Lu?"
Lu Yin smiled
