Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 1347
Chapter 1347: An He’s Friend
During the fight with Shark Awn, Lin Yuan had been confident that he would be able to kill Shark Awn but not that he would be able to control the repercussions.
But now, it seemed that the fight had not affected Raging Waves City at all. Otherwise, he would have become a criminal in the eyes of Raging Waves City.
On their way back, Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and the Mother of Bloodbath had put on Sky City’s standard mask while Shadow entered Lin Yuan’s shadow.
The change in Lin Yuan, the Mother of Bloodbath, and Liu Jie’s attire made it seem like the Moon Empress’ disciple had never stepped foot on the island.
There was an unspoken rule amongst the disciples of the members of royalty that they could share information with each other.
This was exemplified by how Gu Lang and Zong Ze had told Lin Yuan about An He and Gu Lang had not hesitated to tell Lin Yuan and Zong Ze about his fight with Zong Ze.

However, information about the members of royalty could not seep past this group.
As Long Lamplight’s disciple, it was impossible that An He was not aware of this. Hence, he would not reveal Lin Yuan’s identity.
In fact, Lin Yuan felt that given An He’s personality, he would not give Wang Ce the chance to speak even if they met.
Since it would not be exposed that the Moon Empress’ disciple had gone to the island, Lin Yuan did not plan on telling Wang Ce about his identity.
Otherwise, it would be easy for Wang Ce to become suspicious and form a link between the Moon Empress’ disciple and Sky City’s City Lord.
Lin Yuan might eventually reveal that Sky City’s City Lord and the Moon Empress’ disciple were the same person but now was not the right time.
The deal between Lin Yuan and Wang Ce was equivalent to a deal between Sky City and Raging Waves City. As such, it was a deal between two factions.
Lin Yuan did not want his identity as the Moon Empress’ disciple to be dragged in.
If Wang Ce found out that he was the Moon Empress’ disciple, he would definitely report this piece of information to the City Lord of Raging Waves City.
If this happened, Raging Waves City could try to gain his favor, and the collaboration would change from one between factions on equal standing to them trying to gain access to the Moon Empress. Lin Yuan did not like involving the Moon Empress when conducting business.
Two teams were guarding Raging Waves City. One team was made up of Spirit Guards led by two Guard Envoys, while the other team was made up of the Raging Waves Guards led by Wang Ce.
Since the Raging Waves Guards were from Raging Waves City, there were many more of them than there were Spirit Guards.
However, the Raging Waves Guards were also much busier than the Spirit Guards.
The Spirit Guards were only present in Raging Waves City to help the Raging Waves Guards during the active period of the dimensional rift. They only stepped in to help protect Raging Waves City during special circumstances.
Now that the dimensional rift’s active period had ended, the Spirit Guards had not had much to do recently and were preparing to return to the Royal Capital.
But before they could rest, Wang Ce sent them back to their original positions.
During the stand-off between Wang Ce and Gu En, An He had appeared.
At first, Wang Ce had been grumbling about Lin Yuan as this huge incident that Lin Yuan caused could cause Wang Ce to lose his position as the Captain of the Raging Waves Guard.
Although the collaboration between Sky City and the Raging Waves Guard could bring significant benefits to the Raging Waves Guard, Wang Ce had already thought about adding Sky City to Raging Waves City’s blacklist more than once.
However, Wang Ce heard An He say, “My friend is still on the island. None of the Raging Waves Guards are allowed to head to the island before he returns.”
Wang Ce caught the word ‘friend’.
The Raging Waves Guard had always badly needed high-quality Bronze feys.
In the deal between Wang Ce and Lin Yuan, he had only asked Lin Yuan to nurture a batch of 200 Steel Spike Iron Oysters. This was because he did not trust Lin Yuan.
After all, Wang Ce had only heard about the deal between Sky City and the Indigo Azure Guard Captain from Feng Dong. He had not seen it for himself. As such, he dared not pump out a large number of resources in one go in case he ended up being cheated by Sky City.
If that happened and Raging Waves City’s City Lord bored down on the matter, Wang Ce would not be able to use the deal as an excuse or a reason.
But now, An He had personally called Sky City’s City Lord his friend. There was no question that the friends of the disciples of royalty were trustable, and An He had essentially become Lin Yuan’s guarantor.
As many complaints as Wang Ce had about Lin Yuan, he continued to beam cheerily.
With a disciple of royalty as his guarantor, there were no longer any risks. Thus, Wang Ce would be able to request a large order from Sky City.
Raging Waves City had to pay with money when they worked with other Creation Masters or factions with Creation Master roles.
But, they only had to pay with Law Source Crystals when they worked with Sky City. Law Source Crystals were not valuable to Raging Waves City.
Since deep seas bordered Raging Waves City, it was more likely for high-class water world dimensional rifts to open there than Indigo Azure City. Hence, Raging Waves City would be able to offer much more Law Source Crystals than Indigo Azure City could.
Moreover, Raging Waves City had no use for the Law Source Crystals and had collected a sizable pile over the last century.
Since An He had personally admitted that Sky City’s City Lord was his friend, Wang Ce could not cause trouble for An He’s friend.
Most of the disciples of royalty were older than 30 years old, and many had crossed 40 years old as well.
Although 30 to 40-year-old spirit qi professionals were considered young when compared to the average age of spirit qi professionals, they could not be considered part of the younger generation.
There were only a handful of young disciples of royalty in the Radiance Federation. Bamboo Monarch’s disciple Gu Lang was one, Chef Supreme’s disciple Zong Ze was another, and Long Lamplight’s disciple An He was one too.
When the Moon Empress, Cicada Song, and Chief Guard Ye’s disciples who had debuted at the Guard Ye Banquet were added, there were only six disciples of royalty who were part of the younger generation.
Besides the newer disciples, who were still relatively unknown, Wang Ce had heard about the personalities and characteristics of the other three disciples.
Gu Lang was gentle and well-mannered. Zong Ze liked to fight and was stand-offish yet reasonable. An He had a strange temperament. He was respectful to those close to him but refused to give the time of day to others. Apparently, he was also very arrogant.
An He was the most difficult to handle among the three of them.
If he had called the person on the island his friend and Wang Ce went ahead to cause trouble for that person, it was possible that An He would seek Wang Ce out to teach him a lesson.
