Chapter 1380: Trust Me
Guan Hai interjected, "What was I just listening to then? My eldest brother brought up details that can be used as evidence for disciplinary actions from the Supervisor. We can see if the Supervisor believes you or us."
Zhuo Si frowned.
Lu Yin spoke up, "Gate Master Zhuo, would it be possible to bring out some evidence?"
Zhuo Si wondered. "What do you have?"
Everyone looked at Lu Yin with curiosity. If he could bring out some evidence, would he be able to reverse his situation?
Guan Tong frowned; there was no way that Yu Chen had revealed herself when exposing the list, as she was not dumb enough to do something like that!
Everyone watched as Lu Yin approached Zhuo Si one step at a time.
It did not take long for him to pass Guan Tong, Guan Hai, and finally Guan Yun. He finally stopped five meters away from the brothers.
Guan Yun\'s mocking expression suddenly turned blank, and his entire person seemed to suddenly leave.
Lu Yin’s die. Six pips: Possession allowed Lu Yin to Possess a person and control their body as his own. Also, if he encountered them later on in life, as long as he was within five meters, he would be able to freely invade their minds, see through their perspective, and read their memories.
This was where Lu Yin\'s confidence came from.
Lu Yin accessed Guan Yun\'s memories and began to filter through them, searching for information related to Chilan City. Before long, he returned to himself and stood where he was, lost in deep thought.
"Long Qi, what would you like to share?" Zhuo Si asked.
Everyone looked at Lu Yin strangely, as no one understood what he had been doing when he had suddenly stopped walking.
Lu Yin shook his head and let out a dry laugh. "Sorry, Gate Master Zhuo, I didn’t bring what I needed with me. I’ll bring it next time.”
He then turned to face Guan Tong. "So you want to have a bet? You said Chilan City, right? Not a problem."
Everyone felt confused and that Lu Yin\'s behavior had no explanation.
Guan Tong also felt that something was strange, but since Lu Yin had already agreed to the bet, Guan Tong’s goal had been reached. Everything he had done during this trip had been to make sure that Long Qi and his team visited Chilan City.
What no one else knew was that there was a monster in Chilan City that came from the Lower Realm. If it was disturbed, it would go into rage and devour everything in sight. This monster had a power level that surpassed that of an Envoy.
Guan Tong wanted Long Qi to go to Chilan City and bother that monster so that it would be triggered, and then it would destroy all of Chilan City, and naturally Long Qi as well.
Even if all of Guan Tong’s accusations were proven true, it would only mean a minor punishment for Long Qi, and given the influence of the White Dragon Clan, it was possible that Long Qi would not even be discharged from Humility\'s Gate. Guan Tong had carefully thought everything through. The brothers had all turned to humanity’s enemy, and they had ignored thousands of incidents.
Eliminating Long Qi and gaining favor with the Celestial Frost Sect was all pros and no cons, so there was no reason not to agree to cooperate.
Zhuo Si wanted to stop Lu Yin, but the youth had already agreed to the wager. Still, the gate master could not help saying, "Gate Master Tong, you should now take your leave. I have many tasks I need to finish here in the Yinshan Mountains."
Guan Tong stared at Lu Yin, a smile hidden deep in his eyes. "Long Qi, the traitors could leave at any moment on missions, so when do you intend to head over?"
Lu Yin thought for a moment. “I’ll leave in three days."
Guan Tong smiled. "Alright, three days. You’ll have ten days’ time. If you can\'t find any traitors within those ten days, it will prove that your accomplishments thus far were all provided by others and that they were achieved at the expense of Humility\'s Gate. Once the Supervisor hears of this and gets angry, no one will even know what happened to you."
Lu Yin looked up. "I know. However, I have a condition."
Guan Tong\'s expression froze. "What condition?"
Lu Yin spoke loudly, "I want the city sealed and all three of you brothers present in Chilan City as witnesses. Also, I must beg Gate Master Zhuo attend as well to prevent any sort of cheating."
"What are you suggesting?" Guan Yun shouted angrily.
Guan Tong stopped his younger brother. "Understood. In three days, the three of us will be waiting for you in Chilan City."
After that, he led Guan Hai, Guan Yun, and Yuhua Mavis and they all left the Yinshan District.
Zhuo Si looked at Lu Yin in a helpless manner before shaking his head, though he said nothing.
The fatty looked at Lu Yin with sympathetic eyes.
After everyone left their own ways, Lu Yin went to meet with Zhuo Si once more.
"Wasn’t that too impulsive? How can you not know where you got your information?” Zhuo Si immediately criticized Lu Yin. The gate master believed that Lu Yin had received all of his information from the White Dragon Clan and that the traitors who had been arrested who Guan Tong was upset about had been exposed by the Cold Immortal Sect.
Lu Yin solemnly responded, "Gate Master Si, this isn’t the time to discuss that. This one has uncovered something big."
Zhuo Si had to ask, "What have you found?"
Lu Yin carefully weighed his words. “It’s quite likely that the three Guan brothers are Redbacks."
Zhuo Si\'s pupils shrank to pinpricks, and his entire expression changed completely. "What did you just say?"
Lu Yin solemnly repeated himself, "The three Guan brothers are very likely Redbacks."
Zhuo Si’s typically laziness instantly disappeared and he shouted, “You don’t have any evidence, and this is not something that can be said casually. If word of this leaks out at all, Guan Tong can instantly come after you for slandering a fellow member of Humility\'s Gate, and that is a terrible crime."
Lu Yin replied, "This one has evidence, but I must go to Humility\'s Gate\'s Huaiyuan Gate to get it. This is why I agreed to Guan Tong’s bet in Chilan City."
"You never planned to go to Chilan City in the first place?" Zhuo Si asked.
Lu Yin nodded. "Gate Master Si, please cooperate with me on this. Don\'t let the three Guan brothers find out that this one did not go to Chilan City. If they can just be delayed for a bit, I can definitely gather the needed evidence in Huaiyuan that will prove that those brothers are Redbacks."
Zhuo Si considered Lu Yin’s proposal.
Lu Yin knew what the gate master was worried about; Zhuo Si had to be worried that Lu Yin would take advantage of this opportunity to escape. "Gate Master Si, this subordinate is the son-in-law of the White Dragon Clan’s main family, and I have no way of escaping. It’s better to lose this bet than destroy your reputation."
Zhuo Si nodded. "Very well. I promise that you can go to the Huaiyuan Gate right now. As for Chilan City, I’ll help you stall for five days. That means that you have eight days with the three right now. Is that enough for you to find the evidence?"
Lu Yin nodded. "That’s enough."
"Then go and don’t wait." Zhuo Si waved a hand to dismiss Lu Yin.
Lu Yin quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Gate Master Si."
After Lu Yin left, Zhuo Si stared off into the distance. When did the White Dragon Clan’s ability to gather intelligence become so impressive? They were even able to uncover that the three Guan brothers were Redbacks! This completely outstripped what the Celestial Frost Sect was capable of uncovering.
Redbacks were incredibly difficult to uncover, as every single one of them was hidden very well. How could anyone possibly suspect that the respected Humility\'s Gate’s Huaiyuan Gate Master was actually a Redback?
If the three Guan brothers really did turn out to be Redbacks, it would rock all of Humility\'s Gate.
Would Long Qi be able to find any evidence? The second Guan brother was a very cautious individual, so there should not be any form of evidence. Zhuo Si hoped that the White Dragon Clan would be able to help Long Qi find any sort of evidence.
For Long Qi himself, it looked like the White Dragon Clan treated him as their own blood.

Lu Yin felt an instant headache when he looked down and saw his communication crystals vibrating. It was time.
Long Xi’s image appeared in the air, and she glared straight at Lu Yin. “What the hell are you doing?”
Lu Yin blinked and put on an innocent act. "What do you mean? What did I do?"
Long Xi shouted at him in a fury, "I told you to do nothing and stay inside the Yinshan Mountains, and yet you’ve been constantly arresting traitors! Now even Huaiyuan is involved. Don\'t you think you’ve already stirred up enough trouble?"
Lu Yin had to ask, "Didn’t your brother give me that list of traitors?"
Long Xi went silent for a long while. She had finally remembered that Long Qi was just a nobody from a minor branch family of the White Dragon Clan. How could he possibly know about anyone who was a traitor? He had to have been told about the people he had been arresting, and he had assumed that the names had come from Long Xi’s older brother. “Tell me exactly how you learned about the traitors.”
She could not find any way to blame Lu Yin for the current situation. No matter what she considered, Lu Yin seemed as innocent and pure in this matter as a little white sheep.
Lu Yin explained, "There wasn’t anything special about it. I received a list of names straight to my communication crystals. When I saw it, I thought it was from your big brother, so I went to arrest the people. By the way, I also came up with a good story for how I got the information; I told them I have an innate gift that allows me to see through people."
Lu Yin pretended to be completely cooperative.
Long Xi had a headache and instantly became very cautious. Since her brother had not been the one to give Long Qi the list of traitors, then who was? Were they helping or hurting Long Qi? It was more likely for an unknown person to be trying to harm Long Qi. Could that woman Yu Chen be behind this?
Long Xi still did not know anything about the bet that Lu Yin had made with the three Guan brothers, as if she did, her attitude would be completely different and there would be no way that she would believe Lu Yin’s claims.
Lu Yin let out a sigh of relief at temporarily clearing this hurdle. He feigned surprise. "Hey, don\'t tell me that the lists I received weren’t from your brother."
Long Xi frowned and looked back at Lu Yin. "Don\'t worry about this, but I’m going to repeat this again: from now on, don’t leave Yinshan District! Don’t even go to Yinshan City. Got it?"
"I got it. Don\'t worry, I always behave," Lu Yin replied simply.
Long Xi stared into Lu Yin\'s eyes and felt numerous doubts. She had reiterated the danger of Long Qi’s situation multiple times, but her efforts seemed useless. Though he appeared to be sincere, she could see that Lu Yin was pretending. He was like a wild horse that had lost its reins; Lu Yin could not be held back.
Thinking of this, Long Xi\'s tone dropped a bit, "Long Qi, you need to remember that our current situation is very complicated. The Celestial Frost Sect stands at the top of the four ruling powers, and that is why they act in such a domineering fashion and are able to casually slaughter our branch families without any excuse. Bai Shaohong is ruthless, and given that he’s with that woman Yu Chen, your situation right now is something you can’t even imagine. A single wrong step will doom you completely.
"I won’t be able to do anything to save you, and even my brother, Long Tian, despite being a a Junior Progenitor, he is very cautious around Bai Shaohong. Actually, he’s even more scared of that woman behind Bai Shaohong. My big brother is someone who dreams of the Dominion Realm, and yet he doesn’t dare fight against Bai Shaohong. This means it’s impossible for my brother to protect you despite his strength. You need to stay quiet in the Yinshan Mountains. No one can touch you there, so don’t do anything, and nothing will happen to you. Do you understand?"
Lu Yin nodded. "I got it. Don’t don\'t worry, I won\'t cause any trouble."
Long Xi frowned. It always felt like everything that came out of this guy’s mouth was a lie, but what else could Long Xi say? She could not just tie up Long Qi!
"You know how serious the situation is right now. If anything happens to you, my White Dragon clan will be humiliated, and we won’t be able to blame anyone for your death. You need to remember this, for my sake: the Celestial Frost Sect is the most terrifying power in the universe, and they’re going after you. No matter what, don’t leave where you are!" Long Xi\'s voice grew harsher as she spoke.
Lu Yin solemnly reassured Long Xi. "I guarantee that I won’t make any problems."
Long Xi’s image disappeared, though she did not hang up until after reiterating her points several more times.
Lu Yin finally lowered his hand. Why did this woman have so little trust in him? Was he really that unreliable?
As this thought ran through his head, he leaped into the sky and flew away from Humility\'s Gate’s base in the Yinshan District and made his way towards Huaiyuan at his fastest speed.
