Chapter 1351: A Test and Stirring the Pot
Miao Zhenshan was certain that Sky City was brewing something.
Three days ago, Miao Zhuo had called Lin Yuan, who told him that he would help the Miao family after he was done with his own business.
This proved that Lin Yuan did not care about Connected Beast Park at all and considered their plea unimportant.
Miao Zhenshan was extremely displeased by this.

When Miao Zhenshan saw the negative comments on Star Web, he could not help but think that Connected Beast Park would not have to face such awkward consequences if Lin Yuan had just stepped in earlier to help.
By using their connection to Lin Yuan, Connected Beast Park might not be able to regain the favor of the masses, but the top factions would still have tried their best to maintain their collaborations with Connected Beast Park.
Previously, Connected Beast Park had depended on the Purple Bamboo Forest. But because of Miao Qi and Wang Fuxiang, this option was no longer available.
But forming a relationship with Lin Yuan would be akin to having the support of the Radiant Moon Palace. Miao Zhenshan was aiming for this.
However, he did not expect to still be busy three days later. If this dragged on for any longer, Connected Beast Park would be well and truly done in society.
When one’s reputation fell to a certain point, not even the support of a god would be able to save them from the sneers and derision of others.
The more Miao Zhenshan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he smashed the ceramic persimmon he was holding.
The shattered ceramic glinted with white light and framed Miao Zhenshan with even more menace that was already radiating off of him.
Miao Zhuo and Miao He, who were standing next to Miao Zhenshan, were so petrified that they started to tremble.
They exchanged a look and saw the terror in each other’s eyes.
Three days ago, Miao Zhuo and Miao He still saw hope.
But now, after spending three days by Miao Zhenshan’s side, they dared not let out a peep each time Miao Zhenshan lost control.
It would be a blessing for them if their quietness and passiveness could allow them to stay on his good side.
Miao Zhuo blinked at Miao He and pushed out his lips to signal to Miao He to comfort Miao Zhenshan.
Miao He rolled his eyes at Miao Zhuo and nervously picked at his nails. When Miao Zhuo continued to throw looks at Miao He, the latter gestured at the phone in Miao Zhuo’s pocket as though he was saying, “You were fighting to be the one to contact Lin Yuan. Yet, he hasn’t shown up after saying he would. Don’t think that I’m unaware that this is what’s bothering Grandfather. Since you made the call, you should be the one to put out the fire.”
Miao He sucked in a deep breath.
At first, when Lin Yuan had acted as though he had forgiven Miao Zhuo for offending him during the Guard Ye Banquet, Miao Zhenshan had clearly started to improve his attitude toward Miao Zhuo and started to shower more affection on him than he did Miao He.
Miao Zhenshan had brought up Miao Zhuo to become the Miao family’s Young Leader.
He had spent decades by Miao Zhenshan’s side and knew what kind of person he was. Miao Zhenshan liked smart people.
He had been smarter than Miao He ever since they were children. He had always been certain that even if his talent failed him one day, Miao Zhenshan’s affection for him would still exceed that of Miao He.
But during the meeting between the key members of the Miao family, someone had pointed out that the Miao family’s downfall had started at the Guard Ye Banquet.
At that moment, Miao Zhuo’s heart skipped a beat. Just as he feared, Miao Zhenshan started to give him the cold shoulder immediately afterward.
He only relaxed when he noticed that Miao Zhenshan’s attitude toward Miao He had also not become any warmer.
If someone needed to step up now, Miao Zhuo had to be the one to do it if Miao He refused to.
Miao Zhuo glanced at the broken ceramic on the ground before saying, “Grandfather, let me call Lin Yuan to rush him.”
Miao Zhenshan whipped his body around and said, “Zhuo, call Lin Yuan now to try and figure out his intentions. We have already tried to be friendly, yet he hasn’t done a thing for us. Does he want us to pay up some resources first? If so, tell him we’ll start preparing immediately.”
Miao Zhuo instantly knew that Miao Zhenshan was desperate now.
Miao Zhenshan had always been careful about agreeing to call Lin Yuan.
There were some things that could be asked in an indirect manner but not explicitly laid out.
If they rushed Lin Yuan to help the Miao family, the Miao family would be fully dependent on begging for others’ goodwill.
However, Miao Zhuo dared not voice this opinion to Miao Zhenshan now and replied, “Yes, Grandfather. I’ll call him right now.”
Miao Zhuo picked up his phone and dialed Lin Yuan’s number.
Liu Jie and the Mother of Bloodbath heard the devastatingly good-looking Lin Yuan’s phone ring.

When Lin Yuan took out his phone and saw that the call was coming from Miao Zhuo, he thought, It looks like Connected Beast Park is getting anxious. However, I’m in no rush at all.
The incident had only taken place three days ago. Although the rate that the faith power increased had slowed, it had never stopped. This meant that the incident was still at the forefront of the public’s mind, and there was no need to stoke the fire.
Thus, in order to enable his faith power to increase to the greatest extent, Lin Yuan would not help Connected Beast Park until the time was right.
He picked up the call and said in an annoyed tone, “What?”
Miao Zhuo had been trying to come up with a way to ask Lin Yuan. But when he heard Lin Yuan’s irked tone, he was frightened into silence.
After pausing for a moment, he looked at Miao Zhenshan’s distressed eyes and mustered his courage to ask, “Lord Lin Yuan, you promised to help Connected Beast Park. We felt that we needed to prepare gifts for you to thank you for doing us this favor.”
Lin Yuan’s tone became even more impatient as he snapped. “What’s wrong? Has Sky City caused trouble for you?”
Miao Zhuo’s chest tightened.
What does he mean? Did he already make Sky City’s City Lord agree not to come after Connected Beast Park? If so, that would be bad.
Miao Zhenshan did not only care about whether the Miao family could survive. Rather, he cared about Connected Beast Park’s future reputation.
If Lin Yuan had already rescued Connected Beast Park and Sky City had been deterred, the barrage of negative comments would never end.
Miao He said carefully, “Lord Lin Yuan, have you seen all the people trying to smear the Miao family’s name on Star Web? Is it possible for you to make a statement to shut up the supporters that Sky City bought off?”
