Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 1728
1728 Pointless Meeting!
After Lu Ou spoke, he placed his hand on his chest.
He was generally expressionless, yet he was now solemnly giving them his word. This immediately filled Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian with warmth.
Given the previous relationship between Qian Yu and You Changjian, Cai Huo, and Yan Ling, it would be difficult for the three of them to truly work together with him.
Moreover, Yan Ling’s words had caused a fissure to split the three of them apart.
!!
However, Lu Ou was Na Na’s disciple.
A promise from someone of such status set Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Chanjian at complete ease.
So in spite of the cracks, the three of them would give their all in the battle. Otherwise, they would end up losing their lives.
Qian Yu had been enraged by what Yan Ling said to the point he could no longer think straight.
When he first heard what Lu Ou said, he thought that Lu Ou was targeting him.
I’m a Freedom Envoy and the one leading the envoy groups. When did my authority crumble? Lu Ou, you might be Na Na’s disciple, but I’m the Goddess of Mercy’s one and only favored expert!
Thus, Qian Yu started being treated like the Goddess of Mercy’s disciple from the moment he became a Freedom Envoy.
Qian Yu wanted to teach Lu Ou a lesson.
But when he saw Lu Ou raise his hand and make his pledge, Qian Yu felt himself relax.
He knew that Lu Ou was doing this to quell their dispute so they could start preparing for the group battle.
They only had half an hour for their meeting, but their arguments had eaten up 15 of those 30 minutes.
Qian Yu noticed that the Goddess of Mercy and Li Yang were looking at him suspiciously. He immediately realized that if he did not do something soon, Li Yang would fly into a rage.
Li Yang also had another special reason for joining the Freedom Federation envoy group.
If they lost, Li Yang would not be able to fulfill his goal.
It was rumored that Li Yang had even paid a large price to work with Tower Canon just so he could achieve this goal.
If anything went wrong, Qian Yu’s life when he returned to the Freedom Federation would be a tough one, even if he had the Goddess of Mercy to support him.
Qian Yu raised his hand and said to Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian, “As a Freedom Envoy, I should set an example. I promise to go all out in the battle, even if it leaves me crippled. Lu Ou has promised to use his devil, and I will also use my Diving Songstress if necessary. All of you know what price has to be paid for me to use the Diving Songstress. Every time I fuse with it, some of the mermaid king bloodline in its body is used up and can only be recovered after a very long time. I think this should be enough to express my sincerity.”
When an emperor-class expert used their spiritual power to set up a shield, not even an expert with Eternal feys could break through the shield to listen in to the emperor-class expert’s conversation.
Li Yang had indeed been looking at Qian Yu and the rest with suspicion. He could not figure out what they were talking about, but it seemed as though a disagreement had broken out.
Were they discussing the upcoming battle?
The Goddess of Mercy looked at Qian Yu coldly. Her eyes were full of killing intent.
It was as though Qian Yu was not her favored expert.
Qian Yu had no idea that after an expert awakened their birth horoscope, they could gain the title of ‘God’ if they were lucky enough to walk on the heavenly path.
At that time, their spiritual energy would transform.
The Goddess of Mercy called this ‘godly knowledge’.
With godly knowledge, the Goddess of Mercy could penetrate the shield of spiritual power set up by an emperor-class spirit qi professional to hear what they were saying.
Only the three ‘gods’ in the Freedom Federation were aware of this, and they had not told the other members of royalty.
Hence, Li Yang did not know that the Goddess of Mercy had been indifferently listening to the conversation between the five experts.
It was as though the people who were about to compete were not actually part of the Freedom Federation envoy group. It was like she did not care about the Freedom Federation’s honor.
Not only did she not step in to stop them, but she even felt that Lu Ou had spoiled the show by ending the dispute.
Only when Qian Yu said he was going to fuse with the Diving Songstress that the Goddess of Mercy’s expression abruptly shifted.
She was only interested in Qian Yu because the Diving Songstress had the mermaid bloodline.
Over the last few years, she had put a lot of effort into enabling the Diving Songstress to gain the mermaid king bloodline.
But now, Qian Yu was going to sacrifice the Diving Songstress’ mermaid king bloodline.
Once part of the Diving Songstress’ mermaid king bloodline was used up, Qian Yu would be unable to evolve its bloodline for a long time while he was waiting for it to recover.
This would postpone the date that the Goddess of Mercy had been looking forward to.
Nonetheless, she did not react even in the end.
All she did was look at Qian Yu with an increasingly cold stare. It was the gaze of a lion that was looking at a disobedient wildebeest that it had been keeping for some time.
She was still a member of the Freedom Federation’s royalty.
If she stopped Qian Yu from using the Diving Songstress’ bloodline, she would not only be publicly going against the Freedom Federation’s benefits but would also reveal her secret to the rest of the Freedom Federation.
It was likely that the Moon Empress had also crossed that line.
This was the only reason she was able to produce the cleansed Eternal Heart.
Hence, the Moon Empress had also heard what Qian Yu said.
It would be bad enough if the rest of the Freedom Federation’s royalty and Tower Canon found out.
But if the Radiance Federation also found out about her weakness, it was unlikely that she would be able to save Qian Yu.
Something flashed across the Goddess of Mercy’s gaze.
It was easy for experts who could walk down the heavenly path to hide their emotions.
Thus, Qian Yu went on to lead the meeting on battle strategy while being completely ignorant of the fact that he had angered the Goddess of Mercy.
There was nothing much that could be achieved in 15 minutes.
It was not enough time for Qian Yu or Lu Ou to tell Cai Huo, Yan Ling, and You Changjian about their secret weapons.
Although Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian were always together, they kept some weapons hidden.
As such, the meeting was pointless.
