Lin Yuan briefly explained the situation between himself and Black Prison Ao to Senior Brother.
"How dare he?" Senior Brother shook his head. Even Black Prison Mo had to be respectful in front of him, but his little son?
"Junior Brother."
"How do you want to handle this matter?"
Senior Brother casually asked.
For him, this matter was indeed not difficult.
Even extremely easy.
The simplest way would be for him to personally contact Black Prison Mo.
Make him handle his little son.
With Senior Brother's status, a word would be enough to shake the Black Prison Family.
It's estimated that Black Prison Ao would be brought back to the family the next day, and might even be bound to plead guilty to the Red Kun Main Star.
Senior Brother knew Black Prison Mo too well, he was very good at weighing the pros and cons and judging the situation.
Of course.
This method also had its risks.
That would be the very real possibility of exposing Lin Yuan's true identity.
If Lin Yuan chose this method, Senior Brother would advise him to go to the Red Kun Main Star before contacting Black Prison Mo.
"Senior Brother, I still want to stay on Canglan for a few more years."
After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan said softly.
Before reaching the Sixth Rank, Lin Yuan was not eager to go to the Red Kun Main Star.
There were too many strong people there, even under the eyes of the Red Kun Star Lord.
Lin Yuan had many secrets.
Such as the Gate to the Myriad Realms.
Such as the Martial Evolution Path.
Before reaching the Sixth Rank, the souls of Evolvers had not yet fully integrated with the fundamental path of evolution, making it easy for their secrets to be glimpsed.
Lin Yuan wasn't worried about the Gate to the Myriad Realms, not even the virtual world could replicate it, and it was unlikely that the Red Kun Star Lord could detect its reality.
But the Martial Path Evolution System was currently slowly integrating Lin Yuan's soul towards the Martial Path Evolution Path, at a critical moment.
If anything were to be noticed by the strong on the Red Kun Main Star, it would definitely be a significant risk.
With the current potential of the Martial Path Evolution Path, Once the identity of its founder was exposed, it would be far more serious than Lin Yuan exposing the identity of the Thirteenth Peaks Master of the Red Kun Lineage.
"Do you not want to leave Canglan Star?"
Senior Brother rubbed his chin.
This meant that he couldn't openly warn the Black Prison Family.
"I know what to do now."
Senior Brother nodded and looked at Lin Yuan, saying, "Junior Brother, rest assured, you just focus on cultivating on Canglan Star, there's absolutely no possibility that Black Prison Ao would make a move against you."
"Nor would any Evolvers of the 'divination' type of evolutionary paths capture any information about Junior Brother's true identity."
Senior Brother's expression was slightly solemn.
Evolvers of the 'divination' type of evolutionary paths were individually weak, but they had considerable influence on the overall situation.
In the history of human civilization, there were many top-notch diviners who used the universe as a chessboard, laying out many peak tribes as pieces.
However, top-notch diviners were extremely rare, and the current top-notch diviners of human civilization all resided in the central star domain of humanity, thousands of light-years apart, laying out other tribes.
"Then I thank Senior Brother."
Lin Yuan said seriously.
It was already rare for Senior Brother, at his level, to agree to Lin Yuan's request without hesitation.
Even if other Seventh-Rank Evolvers wanted to ask Senior Brother to do something, it might not necessarily succeed.
"Between brothers, there's no need for thanks."
Senior Brother said indifferently, "I'm still waiting for Junior Brother to reach the Sixth Rank and have a drink with me."
Canglan Star, Central Continent Manor.
Lin Yuan opened his eyes and felt relieved.
Although he was almost certain that Black Prison Ao wouldn't act rashly.
But extreme possibilities also had to be considered. After getting Senior Brother's promise, Lin Yuan instantly relaxed.
"Sixth Rank."
"As long as I can reach the Sixth Rank."
"My soul completely integrates with the Martial Path Evolution Path."
"Outsiders will never be able to figure out which evolutionary path I'm practicing."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The Sixth Rank was also a qualitative change for Lin Yuan.
This change wasn't just in strength, but also in identity.
As long as he reached the Sixth Rank, his ability to preserve his life would greatly increase, and he could openly reveal the identity of the Thirteenth Peaks Master, appearing in front of everyone in his true form.
No need to hide like now.
Personal space.
Black Prison Ao sat on the throne, his face dark.
"Young Master."
An old man in a black suit, Beizhao, appeared and bowed to Black Prison Ao on the throne.
"That Lin Yuan rejected me."
Black Prison Ao looked down at Beizhao.
"Even Young Master's personal invitation was rejected?" Beizhao looked astonished.
How much of an honor was it for the direct descendants of the Black Prison Family to personally invite someone? How dare Lin Yuan refuse?
"So, Young Master, what do you plan to do?"
Beizhao, dressed in black, asked tentatively.
"What to do?"
"What do you think I should do?"
Black Prison Ao asked.
"He's just a genius from a backward average life planet, if he refuses Young Master's invitation, that's his loss, Young Master doesn't need to care, just continue to recruit other Evolvers."
Beizhao suggested cautiously.
His meaning was, it's better to let it go, there's no need to waste time on such a person.
"No."
"He's not an ordinary genius."
Black Prison Ao roared lowly.
Lin Yuan was part of the Black Prison Family's 'think tank', designated as one of the 223 Evolvers.
With the potential to shine in the regional level arena competition, he could earn a huge fortune for Black Prison Ao, so such a genius must be controlled by him.
"Young Master insists on having Lin Yuan?"
Beizhao continued to ask.
"Yes."
Black Prison Ao nodded.
"It's not difficult, but it's troublesome."
Beizhao pondered for a moment.
"Go on." Black Prison Ao's spirits lifted.
"Since Lin Yuan is unwilling to join Young Master's side, then force him to join Young Master's side." Beizhao spoke up.
"Force?"
Black Prison Ao frowned, "But we can't violate the laws and regulations of the Alliance."
The cost of violating the laws and regulations of the Alliance was significant, and even if he were to violate them, Black Prison Ao would only do so at a crucial moment.
Such as when contending for the position of clan chief.
It wasn't worth it to violate them for Lin Yuan.
"That's natural."
Beizhao nodded.
He hadn't considered violating laws and regulations either.
"The reason why Lin Yuan doesn't want to join Young Master's side should be due to his attachment to Canglan Star, his nostalgia for his home planet."
Beizhao said.
Home planets did indeed hold a special place in the hearts of many Evolvers.
Powerful Evolvers roamed the vast expanse of the universe, experiencing planets with vastly different customs, but there was only ever one home planet.
"Go on."
Black Prison Ao looked at Beizhao.
"In that case, we can start from Canglan Star."
Beizhao paused for a moment, then continued, "If I remember correctly, the Black Prison Family has had many trade dealings with Canglan Star in previous years?"
As one of the five major forces in the Red Kun Star Domain, the Black Prison Family had traded with most of the planets in the region.
This was quite normal, as some rare minerals and scarce raw materials on Canglan Star needed to be quickly monetized through the Black Prison Family's Chamber of Commerce.
And some shopping channels were also through the Black Prison Family.
"What do you mean by that?"
Black Prison Ao's eyes lit up.
"With Young Master's status, you have the ability to completely cut off the trade between the family and Canglan Star."
"By then, Young Master can make it clear that the reason why the family doesn't trade with Canglan Star anymore is entirely because that Lin Yuan doesn't know what's good for him."
Beizhao smiled slightly, "If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Yuan will bear the blame of countless citizens of Canglan Star, and may even become a criminal for the entire planet. I'm afraid that by then, he will know the power and status of Young Master and will voluntarily submit."
"Correct, correct."
A smile appeared on Black Prison Ao's face.
Cutting off trade with Canglan Star did not violate the laws and regulations of the Alliance. After all, human civilization advocated free trade. If I don't want to trade with you, do the Three Goddesses have to force them?
"This method may cost Young Master some connections, as cutting off interstellar trade with Canglan Star is a mutually harmful method."
Beizhao asked cautiously.
Black Prison Ao was currently in a stage of being tested by the family, and he didn't have many resources to use.
"It doesn't matter."
"It's not a big deal."
Black Prison Ao shook his head.
Cutting off trade with Canglan Star could simply choose other planets, it just increased the cost a bit.
As a noble, Black Prison Ao still had this bit of power.
"You may leave."
Black Prison Ao looked down at Beizhao.
"Yes."
Beizhao, the old man in a black suit, disappeared into the distance.
On the throne, Black Prison Ao pondered for a moment, then began to contact an elder.
After a moment.
In front of Black Prison Ao, a virtual screen appeared.
A man in a loose coat looked at Black Prison Ao.
"Xiao Ao, what do you want from me?"
The man in the loose coat asked faintly.
"Second Uncle."
Black Prison Ao had already stood up from the throne and bowed respectfully.
"Second Uncle, I want to cut off all trade between the family and Canglan Star."
Black Prison Ao directly expressed his thoughts.
"Canglan Star?"
The man in the loose coat called up information about this planet and frowned, "It's just an average life planet, how did it offend you, Xiao Ao?"
The man in the loose coat was a senior member of the Black Prison Family, responsible for all trade in the Dawn Galaxy. As long as he was willing, cutting off trade with Canglan Star was just a matter of words.
"I want to recruit a genius Evolver from Canglan Star to participate in the regional level arena competition for me, but he refused."
Black Prison Ao said.
"Just for this?"
The man in the loose coat frowned.
If it was only because they hadn't recruited the person they wanted and they used the power of the Black Prison Family to suppress the other party for this reason, the man in the loose coat would be very disappointed in Black Prison Ao.
"Second Uncle, this person is very important to me."
Black Prison Ao gritted his teeth and revealed the matter of the family's 'think tank'.
"So it's the genius Evolver chosen by the 'think tank'." The man in the loose coat's expression changed slightly.
For hundreds of thousands of years, the Black Prison Family's 'think tank' had achieved countless merits.
Especially the chief of the 'think tank', who had suggested to Black Prison Mo to move the entire family to the Red Kun Star Domain in the first place.
This was how the illustrious Black Prison Family came to be.
"I will cut off trade with Canglan Star."
"Xiao Ao, you also need to work hard and show the people in the clan."
After the man in the loose coat finished speaking, he ended the call with Black Prison Ao.
"Mr. Lin, if you refuse the recruitment of Black Prison Ao, he will definitely take further actions. There is a high probability that he will tamper with interstellar trade with Canglan Star."
Inside the main mansion of the estate, Captain Hou Ming analyzed.
"I also think so."
Lin Yuan nodded.
With his parents and sister in the mansion, and the entire family protected by the planet's defense system, plus the monitoring of the Goddess of Wisdom, Black Prison Ao couldn't find a way to threaten Lin Yuan at all.
With the Black Prison Family's power, all they could do was cut off trade with Canglan Star and then put pressure on Lin Yuan.
"That Black Prison Ao thinks that I don't accept his recruitment because I attach great importance to Canglan Star and am reluctant to leave here."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
"Even if trade with Canglan Star is canceled and all the blame is placed on Mr. Lin, at most, it will only make other citizens of Canglan Star have some opinions."
"As long as Mr. Lin doesn't care about these, it won't have any impact."
The captain of the guard sneaked a glance at Lin Yuan.
In fact, what he said was simple, but when endless public opinion came crashing down on oneself, the feelings and perceptions of the person at the center of public opinion would be different.
"I won't care."
Lin Yuan shook his head.
Even if he had become Xiahou Yuan, the notorious villain, who was cursed by everyone in the Five Realms after his fourth transmigration, Lin Yuan didn't care, let alone now?
"What we need to pay attention to now is whether Black Prison Ao, after cutting off trade with Canglan Star, will take any other extreme actions that may affect Mr. Lin."
Captain Hou Ming's face showed a hint of worry.
People are not rational beings; they have emotions, desires, and naturally, impulses.
Hou Ming was worried that Black Prison Ao would act recklessly, even though the likelihood of this was very low.
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Yuan remained calm.
He had already seen the Senior Brother and informed him of Black Prison Ao's actions.
Senior Brother also promised that nothing unexpected would happen.
"I wonder what Senior Brother plans to do to prevent Black Prison Ao?"
Lin Yuan suddenly felt curious.
Canglan Star, spaceship landing area.
A bald man walked out.
"Wow, is this Canglan Star? The place where my little junior brother grew up?"
The bald man took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and looked like he was enjoying himself.
"If my little junior brother wants to practice quietly on Canglan Star for a few years and doesn't want to be disturbed by Black Prison Ao, the most secure way is for me to come personally to oversee Canglan Star."
"With me here on Canglan Star, Black Prison Mo will have to leave if he comes."
The bald man left the spaceship landing area and found a place to stay casually.
With his strength, a single thought was enough to envelop the entire Canglan Star, and even the planet's defense system did not detect his presence.
"This avatar of mine was recently condensed, and the outside world is unaware of it. My true self is stationed on the main star of Red Kun. Those 'divination' type Evolvers don't know the existence of this avatar, so it's impossible for them to divine any useful information."
The bald man looked towards the direction of the central continent.
He only sensed the aura of the central continent slightly and did not delve deeper, so Lin Yuan would not notice.
"It's only been a few decades. As long as I can leave a good impression on my little junior brother, it's completely worth it."
The bald man now hoped that Black Prison Ao would act impulsively.
At least he could show his worth and it wouldn't be a wasted trip.
