“Young master.”

“I have made all the terms clear.”

“But that Lin Yuan, he still refused.”

“Says he’s not interested in the competitive arena.”

Bei Zhao, the elderly man in black dress, immediately said.

“Is that so?”

Heiyu Ao rose from the throne, frowning slightly.

He believed he had been more than generous, offering very high terms in all five tiers of the contract.

Especially the lowest tier of the contract, which required only a hundred years of Lin Yuan’s service to Heiyu Ao, would enable him to receive ample resources for nurture.

For a Fourth Rank or Fifth Rank Evolver, a hundred years is not a long time, and to serve Heiyu Ao? That is a blessing most ordinary Evolvers could only dream of.

Yet Lin Yuan had refused.

This was an outcome Heiyu Ao had never expected.

Heiyu Ao, exceeding Sixth Rank within the Heiyu Family and a direct descendant of Heiyu Mo, didn’t know how many Evolvers would take the initiative to pledge loyalty to him.

But Heiyu Ao didn’t regard them highly.

Now, having finally taken a liking to Lin Yuan, the latter didn’t reciprocate the interest?

“What exactly is going on?”

“Has the reputation of my Heiyu Family fallen to such a degree?”

Heiyu Ao was somewhat vexed.

…

Canglan Star, Central Continent Manor.

Lin Yuan emerged from the underground training ground and called over Hou Ming, the Captain of the Guard Troops.

“Greetings… Mr. Lin…”

Sixth Rank Evolver Hou Ming said respectfully.

“I want to ask you about something.”

Lin Yuan sat in his seat, lightly tapping the armrest with his right hand.

That member of Heiyu Ao’s forces had left directly after being refused by him, which piqued Lin Yuan’s curiosity.

“Are you familiar with the Heiyu Family?”

Lin Yuan looked at Hou Ming and inquired.

“The Heiyu Family?”

Hou Ming was slightly stunned, then nodded, saying, “I know them, one of the five major powers in the Chikun Star Domain.”

The strongest force in the Chikun Star Domain is undoubtedly the Red Kun Lineage, which the entire Star Domain was named after.

Beneath the Red Kun Lineage, there are five major powers, and the Heiyu Family is one of them.

“When the Star Lord had not long taken over the Star Domain, Heiyu Mo brought his family, crossing several Star Domains, to settle in the Chikun Star Domain.”

“The Star Lord, acknowledging Heiyu Mo’s plight, handed over some of the trade in the Star Domain to the Heiyu Family, which paved the way for them to become one of the five major powers today.”

Hou Ming spoke rapidly.

Although he was an Evolver secretly cultivated by the Red Kun Lineage, he was not oblivious to the outside world. Moreover, having lived long enough, he was aware of some information that had ceased to be common knowledge.

“I see.”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

He understood now.

In summary,

That Heiyu Mo was nothing more than the teacher’s lapdog.

“Have you heard of Heiyu Ao?” Lin Yuan continued to inquire.

If he remembered correctly, the one who had invited him to join was Heiyu Ao.

“Heiyu Ao?”

Hou Ming thought for a moment and replied, “Is he Heiyu Mo’s youngest son?”

Heiyu Mo had thousands of descendants, and it was only due to the exceptional memory of Evolvers that one could remember so many names.

Especially the names of the Heiyu Family, which sounded quite similar, were easy to confuse for outsiders.

“Right.”

“Just now, he invited me to join his battle team to participate in the arena competition,” Lin Yuan said, shaking his head. “But I refused.”

“That Heiyu Ao… dares…” Hou Ming clicked his tongue in amazement, for Lin Yuan was one of the thirteen Peak Masters of the Red Kun Lineage.

Even Heiyu Mo, the Ding Hai Divine Needle, would have to show respect upon meeting Lin Yuan.

“I guess it was Mr. Lin’s performance in the arena that caught Heiyu Ao’s eye, hence his initiative to invite…”

After pondering for a while, Hou Ming said with a hint of emotion, “The Heiyu Family is a massive force, but the competition… is also fierce. As Heiyu Mo’s youngest son, Heiyu Ao was born thousands or tens of thousands of years later than his brothers.”

“Even with the family’s support, it’s hard for him to catch up to his brothers, so he’s set his sights on the arena competition.”

“If he can support a ‘dark horse’ into the top hundred of the Star Domain-level competition, Heiyu Ao will undoubtedly earn a massive fortune.”

“At that time, his position within the Heiyu Family will rise along with his profits, and if he gains the favor of Heiyu Mo, inheriting the position of the Family Head of the Heiyu Family might not be impossible…” Hou Ming whispered.

“I see.”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Those major families and forces appeared glamorous on the surface, but in reality, the internal struggle was extremely severe.

It was even to the extent of dying if one didn’t advance.

Unless Heiyu Ao completely gave up and didn’t care about power or wealth, he would have to compete with his thousands of brothers.

It wasn’t only the Heiyu Family.

The competition within the Red Kun Lineage was also extremely ruthless, with numerous standards set amongst the official and core members.

Failed to meet the standards? Then step aside and let someone who can meet them take your place.

Lin Yuan felt less strongly about this because he started at the level of a Peak Master, immediately standing at the very top of the Red Kun Lineage.

Most of the Red Kun Lineage’s hereditary resources were open to Lin Yuan.

His task wasn’t to compete with other disciples, but simply to continue his cultivation.

Of course, Lin Yuan’s such treatment was also won through competition: millions of heirs competing in the Seven Star Cave World.

Even though Lin Yuan’s starting point wasn’t the highest, and there were three individuals with red patterns above him, in the end, only Lin Yuan became one of the thirteen Peak Masters.

…

“By the way,”

“the outside world doesn’t have a very good opinion of that Heiyu Ao, who will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants. Mr. Lin, since you’ve rejected his invitation, I’m afraid he won’t let it go easily.”
