"Little Master, it really is you! Little Master, I've waited so long for you!" the old man cried.
Lu Yin gripped his arm, a chill in the depths of his gaze. "I'm back. Don't worry. I won't spare anyone who ever hurt you, or anyone who wronged or betrayed the Lu family."
The old man was overcome with emotion. "Don't spare them. Absolutely don't spare them! Lu Zhen—Lu Zhen, that beast, betrayed the family. And Bai Xian'er, that woman, betrayed you, Little Master. Don't spare any of them. Don't spare a single one of the Four Sides Heavenly Balance, Little Master. It's enough that you've come back."
Lu Yin replied solemnly, "Lu Zhen is already dead. I killed him with my own hands."
The old man looked up in surprise, then burst into laughter. "Dead?"
Lu Yin nodded. "Dead."
The old man laughed wildly again. "Good! Good riddance! He thought he'd be safe after defecting to the Cold Immortal Sect. I told him he'd die at your hands sooner or later, Little Master. Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Blood sprayed from the old man's mouth. Lu Yin hurriedly caught him. "Don't get so worked up. I'll find a way to save you."
The old man waved a hand. "Little Master, there's no saving this old servant. But after waiting all these years, to see you again makes it all worthwhile. I never said a thing. I never betrayed the Lu family, not in the slightest."
"I know. I know you didn't betray us. You're one of the Lu family, and you always will be." Lu Yin was heartbroken.
The old man smiled, panting heavily. "Little Master, this old servant is going. Take good care of yourself. Even if you can't get your revenge, you must stay safe. Nothing is more important
