Soon after, Star Picking Girl arrived at the Facing Heaven Drum in the Undying Realm.
Lu Yin sat atop the Facing Heaven Drum. He watched Star Picking Girl approach at an unhurried pace, his gaze calm. "I was wondering who'd be the first to show up. I didn't expect it to be you."
"You guessed someone would come?" Star Picking Girl asked with a smile. She sat down beside him naturally, without the slightest air of aloofness despite her peerless beauty.
A flicker of surprise crossed Lu Yin's eyes. "Everyone in the universe knows the Night King Clan cares about its pride. I took the Facing Heaven Drum, so someone was bound to speak up for Night King Yan Qing. But I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. I never intended to give it back when I took it."
"I know. I came because I wanted to ask you something. Do you really think your status as a Spirit Interpreter can keep you safe?" Star Picking Girl asked, her tone mild.
Lu Yin fell silent. As expected, these people couldn't be kept in the dark about his status as a Spirit Interpreter. Anyone who wanted to investigate could find out. The Spirit Interpreter Research Association didn't place much importance on keeping Spirit Interpreters' identities secret. Spirit Interpreters were treasures of humanity; there was no need to hide them. That was the Association's view, and Lu Yin had no intention of keeping his identity secret anymore.

Star Picking Girl and Nalan Fairy, on the other hand, could find out
