By the time Undying Yu Shan finally finished, Lu Yin's legs were practically giving out.
"You're tired, aren't you? Sorry about that. When you get old, you just like reminiscing about the past." Undying Yu Shan shook his head with a smile and pushed the pastries toward Lu Yin. "Try one. These were Undying Zi Shan's favorite."
Lu Yin nodded and took a bite. They tasted pretty good.
Undying Yu Shan was about to speak, but then he glanced at Duolan Yu Shan and Duke Yu Shan. "You're still here? Go back. I want to talk to Yin alone."
Lu Yin nearly spat out his food. Was this some kind of joke? They'd sat there listening for three hours, and it turned out Undying Yu Shan hadn't cared at all.
Duolan Yu Shan and Duke Yu Shan seemed used to it. They bowed respectfully and left.
"The Great Yu Empire has too many troubles. This is the only place where I can find a moment's peace. I think back to those days when Undying Zi Shan and I roamed the universe. Who hadn't heard of the Undying Duo? What a pity, what a pity. He left before I did, and I've been clinging to life for centuries. I thought I'd never see another descendant of the Purple Mountain Clan in this lifetime. Thankfully, Heaven had other plans and brought you here. Yin, I'm glad I could see you before I die." Undying Yu Shan sighed again.
Lu Yin could only play along. "Your Majesty, your strength is unmatched across the universe. You could live another ten thousand years. You won't die so easily."
"Heh. I know my own body. You don't need to comfort me." Undying Yu Shan shook his head with a rueful smile, then looked at Lu Yin.
