Lu Yin stared at Ku Wei. "I can let you go to Canglan Territory, but I have one condition."
"Name it."
Lu Yin glanced at Ku Wei's finger. "I want to learn the battle technique you used to attack me during the Spirit Interpreter Competition. I think it was called—One Finger Zen."
Ku Wei was astonished and immediately refused. "Impossible. One Finger Zen is a secret art of the Ku Family. It can't be taught to outsiders."
"Then forget it. Letting you enter Canglan Territory to look for the Yu Family would put me at risk. If the Yu Family really exists, it's anyone's guess who the Great Yu Empire would answer to. I worked hard to form the Eastern Frontier Alliance. It wouldn't be fair for me to hand it over just because you found the Yu Family."
"But I'll let you have the Yu Family's other things."
"What gives you the right to promise that? You make the Yu Family sound so powerful, with such deep foundations. And didn't you say there are old monsters there, too? Are you really able to give me their things? Don't joke around. I'm not counting on it."
Ku Wei was at a loss for words. He should never have brought that up. "Pick another condition. I can't teach you One Finger Zen. If people from the Ku Family found out, they'd definitely kill me."
Lu Yin suddenly raised his spear and pointed it straight at Ku Wei. "So you're saying there are still people from the Ku Family in the Outer Universe."
Ku Wei hurriedly explained, "No, I meant after the Inner and Outer Universes reconnect—"
Lu Yin frowned. "You're contradicting yourself. I don't believe you. At first, I was only thirty percent sure there were experts from the Ku Family
