Yu Zhonggang was actually quite tragic. He had just advanced to Heavenly King and was in high spirits. With his strength, if he hadn't gotten involved in such a high-end world, he could have definitely turned the Yu family into a wealthy clan.
"So, don't force yourself into circles that aren't yours," Lu Li said with heartfelt emotion.
Lu Li was more curious about the Alliance's compensation to the Yu family.
"What did the Alliance say? Gym Leader Yu sacrificed himself for the Alliance."
Yao Yifei replied, "The Yu Zhonggang's descendants are allowed to enter the Nandu Treasure Vault once, limited to the outer two layers."
Hearing this, Lu Li was genuinely happy for Yu Lili and exclaimed, "It seems the Alliance still has some face left."
Yao Yifei explained meaningfully, "If it weren't for your previous incident, this compensation from the Alliance would have been fine, but with you as a precedent, Gym Leader Yu's compensation is a bit unsatisfactory."
Lu Li had directly entered the core layer of the treasure vault. What was his loss before? Merely the Alliance leaking his personal information.
And what about Yu Zhonggang? He risked his own life. Moreover, he was a Heavenly King-level trainer. In the end, his descendants received less compensation than Lu Li's information leak.
Which gym leader wouldn't feel aggrieved by this?
"Because of this matter, many gym leaders are dissatisfied with the Alliance's compensation to Yu Zhonggang," Yao Yifei added.
Lu Li nodded. As the saying goes, everything pales in comparison. Without his example, the Alliance's compensation to Yu Zhonggang would have been perfectly acceptable.
The gym leaders were also fighting for their own rights. We risk our lives for the Alliance, but the compensation for death is less than the compensation for a rookie trainer's information leak? Who wouldn't feel aggrieved?
Yao Yifei then said, "Fortunately, the Lei family acted responsibly, and the gym leaders' dissatisfaction was suppressed."
"This is also related to the Lei family?" Lu Li was even more curious.
Yao Yifei asked back as a matter of course, "Of course. Gym Leader Yu sacrificed himself to save the Lei family's young master. How could the Lei family not provide compensation?"
"What's the compensation?" Lu Li was even more curious.
Yao Yifei: "A Duraludon egg."
"Hiss~"
Hearing this, Lu Li gasped.
Duraludon!
I know that's Duraludon!
Below the mythical beasts are pseudo-legendaries. Before human society entered the industrial age, Duraludon, while considered an excellent Pokémon, was definitely not the most outstanding.
As humans entered the industrial age, a magical item—composite metal—was discovered, and Duraludon's status instantly soared to an absurd level.
Naturally possessing a high base stat total of 535, coupled with the noble Dragon-type, Duraludon is born with combat power and is especially strong.
In addition, after evolving with composite metal, Duraludon can evolve into Archaludon.
Archaludon! A powerful Pokémon with a base stat total of 600.
In this world, Pokémon with a base stat total of 600 are generally called pseudo-legendaries.
And Archaludon is a pseudo-legendary, and one without a long growth period.
As everyone knows, pseudo-legendary Pokémon are all late-game powerhouses, but Archaludon is an exception. It's strong from the start.
A base stat total of 535 is what the final evolutions of the starter Pokémon have, and it still has an evolution. Compared to normal pseudo-legendaries, Duraludon lacks an evolution, but it gains strength from the start.
"I remember Lei En died, right? This compensation from the Lei family is too excessive, isn't it?" Lu Li exclaimed.
"But Gym Leader Yu also died. This egg is not just a reward, but also Yu Zhonggang's pension," Yao Yifei reminded him in a low voice.
Lu Li: "…"
Lu Li, who was originally a little envious, instantly wasn't anymore.
To be honest, a Duraludon egg in exchange for the life of a Heavenly King-level trainer... a Heavenly King-level trainer's life isn't that cheap.
Thinking of this, Lu Li lost interest in the topic and changed the subject, asking listlessly, "Has anything happened at home?"
Yao Yifei replied instantly, "No, and the flowers at home are growing quite well."
"That's good," Lu Li nodded.
After chatting with Yao Yifei for a while, Lu Li silently hung up the phone.
"Uncle Yu, why did you do this?" Lu Li sighed softly.
Through his conversation with Yao Yifei, Lu Li roughly understood the Alliance's attitude towards Yu Zhonggang's sacrifice.
Yu Zhonggang died choosing a side, and the main thing is that he chose the wrong side.
If Yu Zhonggang had sacrificed himself guarding the ecological park or the treasure vault, Yu Lili would have at least received a divine artifact or even more implicit benefits.
But the mistake lies in Yu Zhonggang dying at Arena Number One. The battle there can't be said to have nothing to do with the Alliance, but it also can't be said to be related.
"But when the Lei family gave Yu Zhonggang compensation, didn't they investigate Yu Zhonggang's background? Giving this Duraludon egg is inexplicable," Lu Li frowned and thought, puzzled.
Yu Lili follows the Water-type path. If the Lei family had done a background check, they would have known that the compensation should be given to Yu Lili, and the attribute should definitely be Water-type.
Now that this situation has occurred, there is only one possibility.
The Lei family couldn't have given the compensation directly without doing a background check, so the compensation given by the Lei family is either ulterior motives or full of malice?
This is just Lu Li's initial guess. After all, the compensation given by Lei is indeed too abnormal, but Yu Zhonggang risked his life for your Lei family.
Even if you don't want to compensate them, you shouldn't harm them, right? And using this kind of lose-lose method.
A Duraludon egg is very precious.
Shaking his head, Lu Li, no longer wanting to think about these questions, entered a state of cultivation.
Not knowing how long he had been cultivating, the knock on the door forced Lu Li to stop.
Opening the door, Lu Li saw Yu Lili with a gloomy face.
After leading Yu Lili into the room, Lu Li poured her a cup of tea.
"How is it? Is Bastiodon coming back or not?" Lu Li asked quickly.
Yu Lili gritted her teeth and said, "No! Bastiodon was taken away by the Lei family."
Hearing this, Lu Li frowned.
Why did the Lei family take Bastiodon?
"Do you know why the Lei family took Bastiodon?" Lu Li asked quickly.
Yu Lili: "The Lei family said that Bastiodon was a firsthand witness to that battle, and they wanted to take Bastiodon back to ask about it."
Lu Li sneered, "Excuse. If they really want to understand the situation of that battle, Lei En didn't have protectors around him? Those people didn't die in the battle."
Hearing this, Yu Lili's face changed, and then she asked in a panic, "Are you saying that the Lei family deliberately detained my dad's Bastiodon?"
"It must be deliberate," Lu Li nodded as a matter of course.
"Why?"
Yu Lili looked at Lu Li in disbelief. Her father had clearly sacrificed himself to save the other party. Even if the Lei family wasn't grateful, they shouldn't repay kindness with enmity, right?
Moreover, the Lei family couldn't possibly lack a Heavenly King-level Pokémon like Bastiodon.
Lu Li said, "I don't know the specific situation, but the Lei family definitely has bad intentions."
Yu Lili, frightened and disoriented by Lu Li's analysis, asked with a panicked face, "What should I do?"
"Bastiodon is my dad's Pokémon. I must get it back!" Yu Lili said to herself, as if encouraging herself, and as if asking Lu Li for help.
But facing the behemoth that is the Lei family, Yu Lili felt more despair and panic at this moment.
She couldn't understand why the Lei family would repay kindness with enmity when her father had clearly sacrificed himself for the Lei family.
Yu Lili is not a high-end player of the game of thrones, so she doesn't fully understand the Lei family's logic.
"In that battle, did Yu Zhonggang offend the Lei family? Was it desertion or doing a disservice with good intentions?" Lu Li pondered thoughtfully.
Aristocratic families all value face. The Lei family has no need to play this hand of repaying kindness with enmity, and there is no reason to target a mere Yu family.
Just like Yu Lili said, Yu Zhonggang died for the Lei family.
Lu Li didn't know how to comfort the girl in front of him at this moment, because he had no way to deal with this kind of thing.
The Lei family is a behemoth in Yu Lili's eyes, and isn't it in his eyes?
Although he has two big shots behind him, they are big shots, not his subordinates. He can't ask Ekaterina and the others to confront the Lei family for this matter.
Moreover, Ekaterina and the others can't confront the Lei family because of this matter. After all, everyone in the family talks about benefits.
Qu Suxin is enough to secretly send a champion-level Pokémon to protect him. This is probably their bottom line.

The room instantly fell into a strange silence.
The Lei family, like a mountain, pressed on the hearts of the young man and woman.
The teenager's powerlessness and the girl's grief and despair seemed to intersect at this moment.
After a long silence, the girl, as if resigning herself to fate, said, "I'm going back today."
Lu Li asked, "What did your aunt say?"
"When I was at the Pokémon Center, I called my mom. She told me to go back today."
Lu Li nodded.
"Do you need me to send you off?"
"No, you have to participate in the competition tomorrow."
Yu Lili shook her head and refused Lu Li.
"The Pokémon Center was rebuilt so quickly?" Lu Li was a little surprised.
"No, how could it be so fast."
It should be known that the most severely damaged part of the Pokémon Center was the various competition venues. Even if there are magical creatures like Pokémon in this world, it would take at least half a month to rebuild the Golden Pokémon Center.
The students taking the college entrance examination obviously can't wait that long, so they can only change the location of the college entrance examination competition.
Yu Lili added, "If nothing unexpected happens, you will have to leave the ancient capital today as well."
"So where did the Alliance put the competition again?" Lu Li asked in confusion.
Yu Lili: "Zhongdu."
Lu Li raised his eyebrows and directly complained, "If they had done this earlier, that kind of thing wouldn't have happened yesterday."
Zhongdu is the center of Kyushu and also the location of the Kyushu Alliance headquarters.
The main thing is that the Alliance's Torterra Legion and the legendary Council of Elders are stationed there.
With the defensive power of Zhongdu, let alone a few champions, even a master-level trainer would have to fold there.
"This time, the Kyushu Alliance has lost face, so they have to put the competition in Zhongdu. After all, if there is another problem, the president may have to step down," Yu Lili said sarcastically.
Lu Li nodded in agreement.
Don't look at the fact that the crisis has passed, but the impact of yesterday's battle is far from over.
After Yu Lili left, Ekaterina took the initiative to find Lu Li.
Ekaterina asked, "Did that little girl go back?"
Lu Li nodded.
"Stay away from that little girl. The Yu family is in trouble now," Ekaterina reminded meaningfully.
Lu Li looked at Ekaterina curiously and asked, "Do you know the reason?"
Ekaterina sneered, "I roughly guessed it, but the Lei family will definitely not target the Yu family anymore, but other families may not."
Lu Li nodded and didn't ask any further.
If the Lei family no longer targets the Yu family, then the Yu family will at most lose part of their family property.
After all, Yu Zhonggang's Pokémon are still there. Although Bastiodon, as the strongest main force, is lost, Yu Lili still has five gym-level Pokémon, plus the second echelon of Pokémon from Liu Li's place.
The Yu family is still one of the strongest families in Qingyun City.
"There is one more thing. The new competition location has been placed in Zhongdu. I can't enter Zhongdu, so I may not be able to go with you."
Ekaterina's tone also carried a hint of regret.
Lu Li nodded. He had expected this.
Non-Kyushu Alliance Heavenly King-level Pokémon are not allowed to enter Zhongdu, not even the delegation.
…………
After rushing home in a hurry, Yu Lili could no longer hold back when she saw Jin Fengjiao.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried in the living room. The servants in the gym quietly moved away from the living room.
After gradually recovering her emotions, Yu Lili noticed the incubator on the table.
Yu Lili said resentfully, "Is this the compensation the Lei family gave us?"
Jin Fengjiao looked at the incubator with a complicated expression and then sighed.
"Yes, this is what your dad exchanged for his life," Jin Fengjiao said mockingly.
"A Steel-type pseudo-legendary, and still a Duraludon. If your dad was still alive, that would be great," Jin Feng whispered.
If Yu Zhonggang was still alive, he might be able to train Duraludon to the Heavenly King level before he was 60 years old.
But now, the Pokémon egg in front of her is a poison coated with honey.
It's a pity to abandon it, but the aftermath of keeping it is endless.
If she gives up, Jin Fengjiao is really reluctant.
Duraludon! If she can find a way to get the evolution item, even without a trainer, Duraludon can grow to the Heavenly King level with its own talent.
Yu Lili narrowed her eyes and asked, "Mom, how are you going to deal with this egg?"
Looking at the pseudo-legendary Pokémon egg in front of her, the first thing Yu Lili thought of was Lu Li. Lu Li follows the breeder route, and Duraludon can be completely handed over to Lu Li to breed.
"Your grandfather knew about this news and has come more than once," Jin Fengjiao said leisurely, looking at the Pokémon egg.
Hearing this, Yu Lili frowned and asked, "What does my maternal grandfather's family mean by that?"
"Your maternal grandfather said that you are following the Water-type Trainer path, so this Pokémon Egg is useless to you, while the Jin family is a Steel-type family, and… Jin Huang is also your father's direct disciple."
