392: Judging by deeds, not by heart

“News of the Wu Cang Clan?”

Hearing Yu Chen’s words, Lin Yang’s eyes immediately narrowed, and he asked calmly.

“Yes,” Yu Chen quickly said. “This is a message from the leader of a level five civilization in the Home Universe. He wishes to meet with me immediately to discuss it in detail.”

“Oh… did they discover a Wu Cang Clan group or a lone Wu Cang Clan member?” Lin Yang’s eyes flickered, and he asked again, deep in thought.

“Matters related to the Wu Cang Clan are all of great importance, and this information didn’t mention that,” Yu Chen shook his head, then looked at Lin Yang. “Lin Yang, do you know of the Wu Cang Clan?”

“I know a little,” Lin Yang nodded.

Seeing that Lin Yang knew of the Wu Cang Clan’s existence, saving him the trouble of explaining, Yu Chen simply said, “Then I’ll have them come over directly, shall I? The importance of the Wu Cang Clan is self-evident. Since you, Your Excellency Lin Yang, are also here, let them report directly to you. What do you think?”

Hearing this, Lin Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Yu Chen with a half-smile. “From your words, Yu Chen, it sounds like you intend to hand this news over to me?”

Yu Chen nodded, honestly saying, “I wouldn’t dare deceive you, Your Excellency Lin Yang. To be frank, the Yu Star alone cannot handle the Wu Cang Clan. Ultimately, we would have to give up, otherwise the entire Home Universe would be in danger of annihilation. But you, Your Excellency Lin Yang, are different. You have the ability to handle this news!”

As he spoke, Yu Chen congratulated Lin Yang, “Your Excellency Lin Yang, your luck is truly good. Meeting the Wu Cang Clan at this critical juncture means you will have another powerful arm in the future.”

“What is your approach to the Wu Cang Clan, Yu Chen?”

Lin Yang suddenly asked, causing Yu Chen to be stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and sighed, saying:

“Honestly, I think their entire clan is quite pitiful. Due to their extremely high inherent value, once they show themselves, they are destined to be captured by various universal forces and made into slaves. They either become experimental subjects or are trained as assassins. It’s quite tragic.”

As Yu Chen finished speaking, Yu Meng also sighed beside him, “That’s right. Although the Wu Cang Clan possesses the most formidable power after becoming a complete Super Warrior, the period to become strong is too long, and with the decline of their clan, they have now become a slave race.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Yu Chen. “Brother, if I’m not mistaken, news of the Wu Cang Clan also appeared in the Home Universe many years ago, but that time it happened to be discovered by our people. You covered up that news later, didn’t you?”

“Oh? There was news of the Wu Cang Clan before?” Lin Yang also looked at Yu Chen.

Yu Chen smiled, “Yes, if we’re talking about time, it was probably over a hundred years ago. That time, a legion detachment from Yu Star was on a patrol mission and coincidentally discovered some traces of the Wu Cang Clan.”

“Then you didn’t capture any Wu Cang Clan members?” Lin Yang asked again.

“No,” Yu Chen directly shook his head. “I believe they are already pitiful enough, so I issued a ban and erased all those messages.”

“Hmm?” Lin Yang showed a look of surprise.

Yu Chen possessed such a benevolent heart?

Seeing this, Yu Chen gave a wry smile and explained, “Lin Yang, there’s no need to be surprised. I’m not a saint either. To be honest, the Wu Cang Clan’s value is indeed high, and it’s hard not to be tempted. But firstly, cultivating a Wu Cang Clan Super Warrior takes a very long time, and the resources consumed are also incredibly exaggerated.”

“Secondly, as I just said, we alone cannot protect a Wu Cang Clan member. Rather than constantly worrying, it’s better to simply pretend we never discovered them.”

“This can prevent top-tier universal forces from dispatching legions to forcefully investigate and search for the Wu Cang Clan in the Home Universe.”

“Under various factors, I never had any designs on the Wu Cang Clan. Instead, I had to cover for them. Otherwise, if the news leaked out and those top-tier universes learned that the Wu Cang Clan had appeared in our Home Universe, then our Home Universe would be in utter chaos.”

Hearing Yu Chen’s words, Lin Yang’s eyes narrowed slightly, then he smiled and said, “Yu Chen, you have truly gone to great lengths for the Home Universe.”

Yu Chen spread his hands, “Just as you, Lin Yang, just said, this is our Mother Universe, and it is the foundation upon which we survive. Naturally, I must do my utmost to protect it. In comparison, the Wu Cang Clan is not absolutely essential.”

“Oh…” Your Excellency Lin Yang’s eyes moved slightly, staring at Yu Chen for a moment.

To be honest, at this moment, he rather admired Yu Chen.

Although he was tempted, he was willing to give up the Wu Cang Clan for the sake of better protecting the Home Universe.

This point made him somewhat impressed.

After all, a gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. If judging by intentions, no one in the world is perfect.

From Yu Chen’s actual choices and actions, he was a qualified ruler of the strongest civilization in the Home Universe.

He always prioritized the Home Universe, rather than first considering his personal gains and losses.

At this thought, Lin Yang sighed from the bottom of his heart, “It is the fortune of the various civilizations and races, big and small, in the Home Universe to have a ruler like Yu Chen.”

Yu Chen, however, was startled by these words, directly “whooshing” to his feet and repeatedly waving his hands, saying:

“Your Excellency Lin Yang, those words are too much praise for me. I wouldn’t dare accept them. As the only level seven civilization in the Mother Universe, it is natural to bear the responsibility of protecting the Mother Universe. This is what I should do, and I cannot bear such high praise from you, Your Excellency Lin Yang.”

“Uh…”

Your Excellency Lin Yang couldn’t help but blink. He hadn’t expected one sentence to elicit such a strong reaction from Yu Chen.

Looking at Yu Chen’s appearance, Lin Yang muttered to himself, then said seriously, “I think you, Yu Chen, can bear it. It truly puts one at ease to have a leader like you in the Mother Universe.”

Yu Chen was stunned again.

Lin Yang then directly changed the subject, “Yu Chen, have the people from that level five civilization come over. I am curious to know what Wu Cang Clan members they discovered!”

“Good, good.”

Yu Chen recovered and immediately issued the command.

While waiting for the other party to arrive, Yu Chen said again, “Your Excellency Lin Yang, if traces of the Wu Cang Clan are indeed discovered, how do you plan to handle it?”

“How do you think it would be best to handle it?” Lin Yang retorted.

“This… with your current power, Lin Yang, even if it were made public, it should be fine. However, I think it’s better to keep it as secret as possible to avoid some petty individuals coveting it,” Yu Chen hesitated.

“Then what if I told you that I actually know the specific existence of a Wu Cang Clan member?” Lin Yang smiled slightly.

“Ah?”

Yu Chen and Yu Meng both instantly froze… “Level five civilization Sa Shui, Nalan Shan greet Lord Yu Chen, Lord Yu Meng, and the two lords!”

Soon, the person from the level five civilization who delivered the message was brought directly in.

The two middle-aged men now put away their previous air of authority and respectfully bowed to Yu Chen.

At the same time, they couldn’t help but glance at Lin Yang and the White Fatty Old Man who was sitting in the main seat, resting with his eyes closed.

Seeing that Yu Chen and Yu Meng were both seated in the lower positions made the two men even more excited!
