Cai Jianqiang left halfway through and headed for Shui Ling Star. Before he left, he thanked Lu Yin again. Even he didn't know why he felt such genuine gratitude, but he couldn't help himself.
Lu Yin suddenly realized that if he recruited Cai Jianqiang as a captain in the Imperial Court Thirteenth Team, the team's strength would be fully restored.
With Sister Leng and Ku Wei joining, only the Second and Thirteenth Teams still lacked captains. Guici had died, and Liuying Zi Shan had become the allied forces' commander-in-chief. He needed to find captains for the Second and Thirteenth Teams.
He already had someone in mind for captain of the Imperial Court Second Team: Old Smoker. But he wasn't sure he could recruit him.
When he returned to True Yu Star, the first thing Lu Yin did was visit Ake, an Enlightenment Realm Expert from the Glory Hall.
Ake lived in the mountains outside True Yu Star's imperial capital. The area was sealed off by star energy, and no one could approach.
When Lu Yin arrived, Ake hurried out to greet him. His manner was exceptionally respectful. Elder Ruohua had probably told him about the Blood-colored Bell.
"Have you settled in comfortably here, senior? Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll have someone arrange it," Lu Yin said politely.
Ake smiled. "There's no need. This place is quite nice."
They chatted for a while. During their conversation, Ake tried several times to say something, then stopped himself.
Lu Yin noticed and knew that Ake wanted to see the Blood-colored Bell. Elder Ruohua had sent him over so readily because she wanted to verify whether it was genuine. Although countless people had heard the bell when it rang earlier, and Elder Ruohua could surely investigate what had happened,
