"Dao Child, you don't believe me? The truth is, I'm a member of the Di Yin Organization. Earth is my home. I went to Tree Starry Sky through Jupiter, and by chance, joined the Cold Immortal Sect. I'm not really from Tree Starry Sky, so when Yu Chen gave me orders on behalf of the young patriarch, I didn't dare disobey. I was afraid she'd notice something was off."
Lu Yin understood. No wonder a Star Envoy like Elder Qing Xing had obeyed Yu Chen so readily. Even if Yu Chen represented Bai Shao Hong, she was only a maid. How could she order a Star Envoy around? So the old man had been guilty and afraid to resist. Yu Chen had naturally grown more and more comfortable using him, thinking he was simply wary of Bai Shao Hong.
"Were you wary of Yu Chen's Jade Butterfly?" Lu Yin asked.
Elder Qing Xing nodded. "The Jade Butterfly is a group Yu Chen trained specifically to gather intelligence. They have Bai Shao Hong backing them and know a great deal about Tree Starry Sky. If the Jade Butterfly set its sights on me, there was no guarantee I could keep my secret. The last thing our Di Yin Organization wants in Tree Starry Sky is to offend people like that. If I'm exposed, the organization will be in trouble."
"So many times, I had no choice but to follow their orders."
Lu Yin nodded. "Right, I understand. The tea's going cold, Elder. Drink up."
Elder Qing Xing's expression changed. "Dao Child, you still don't believe me? I can contact Di Yin on Earth."
"You've been in the Fifth Continent for more than twenty years, haven't you? In all that time, have you never contacted Di Yin there?" Lu Yin asked.
