"The Blood Pool matter has already made an enemy of them," Lu Yin murmured.
Food God said, "The White Dragon Clan has made this promise several times: the Blood Pool matter is over. And every time, they've followed through. The most famous instance was in the Zhongping Realm. Back then, the Lu family was still around. A Rogue Cultivator killed a collateral member of the Lu family, making himself an enemy of the family. But that Rogue Cultivator had once been promised a place to settle on a peak of Dragon Mountain. After going through untold hardships to reach Dragon Mountain, he was ultimately protected by the White Dragon Clan."
Lu Yin was surprised. "Someone who killed a member of the Lu family was still protected?"
"Indeed. It was almost unbelievable. The Lu family was famous for its power and for protecting its own, but that Rogue Cultivator was still protected. In the end, he died in a Source Tribulation, unrelated to the Lu family—a normal way for a cultivator to die. No one knows what price the White Dragon Clan paid, but word of that promise spread. Countless people hoped to secure a place on a peak of Dragon Mountain. It was as good as a second life."
Lu Yin marveled, "The White Dragon Clan's promise really is valuable if they can protect someone from the Lu family."
"Tempted?" Food God asked.
Lu Yin immediately declined. "No need."
Food God was surprised. "You really don't need it? Or are you worried the Xia family will use Yu Chuan to threaten you?"
Lu Yin smiled. "This junior is even-tempered and doesn't make enemies easily. If it weren't for the academy, I wouldn't have deliberately offended the White Dragon Clan this time. So I probably won't need that promise."
