Ku Ji exclaimed in admiration, "I'd been wondering when I might meet you, sir. I never expected it to happen so soon."
"Martial Uncle, you know him?" Ku Cheng asked in surprise.
Ku Ji smiled. "Throughout the Nine Heavens, there aren't many who don't know him."
Ku Cheng looked at Lu Yin in astonishment.
Lu Yin looked at Ku Ji. "Sorry to trouble you, Senior Ku Ji."
"It's the Abyss that's honored to have you as our guest, sir. Your words cast aside the barriers between universes and upheld the greater good of humanity. Everyone in the Abyss admires you. If there's anything you need, the Abyss will do its utmost to help."
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn. He bowed respectfully to Ku Ji. "Lu Yin, on behalf of the Heavenly Origin Universe, thanks you, Senior."
Ku Ji returned the bow. "I cannot speak for the Nine Heavens, but I can speak for the Abyss. I hope you achieve your wish and bring humanity together."
Ku Cheng had never seen his Martial Uncle praise anyone so highly.
Just as Lu Yin had expected, everyone interpreted his words differently.
Someone like Great Master Lan Ye had heard a provocation in them. She believed that the Threefold Universe had to remain beneath the Nine Heavens, and that now that Lu Yin had entered the Nine Heavens, he had to put its interests first.
Ku Ji, on the other hand, had heard Lu Yin's wish for humanity to unite, and his desire to protect all of humankind.
It came down to a difference in outlook.
Perhaps Great Master Lan Ye was no weaker than Ku Ji in combat, but her breadth of mind was far inferior.
"If only my Martial Brother were here. How wonderful it would be if he could meet you."
