Old Man Yu lowered his head. He suspected Lu Yin was testing him. "I'm sorry, Lord Lu. It's not that this old man doesn't want to do it. I simply can't."
"Why not?"
"As I just said, only the Jia family can rule Mount Yu Shen. Lower Supreme God Yue Ya destroyed the Jia family, and he can't answer for it in the Nine Heavens Universe. He's already broken a taboo. If he takes me in as well, he'll compound his crime, and he may not be able to bear the Supreme God's punishment. He knows I understand this. If I still go over to his side, he'll never believe me," Old Man Yu explained.
"Is it really that serious?"
"Extremely." Old Man Yu looked grave. In truth, Zhi Kong Domain barely even registered in the Nine Heavens Universe. Its allegiance to anyone wouldn't attract the Supreme God's attention. But he couldn't say that. Otherwise, compared with joining the Boundless, Zhi Kong Domain's allegiance to Yue Ya would make far more sense. And in fact, he had indeed pledged himself to Yue Ya.
Lu Yin waved a hand. "I don't care about any of that. Find a way to join Yue Ya and earn his trust. Find out what he wants me to do. Consider this a test."
Old Man Yu didn't know what to say. It seemed he'd managed to please both sides.
As far as Yue Ya was concerned, he was supposed to have joined Lu Yin. As far as Lu Yin was concerned, he was supposed to have joined Yue Ya. No matter whom he ultimately served, the other side would think he was on their team.
Old Man Yu had lived for so many years, but he'd never encountered anything like this.
It wasn't unheard of
