Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2023
2023 Liu Jie’s Growth
Lin Yuan’s words caused Yi Huailong and Yi Huailu’s breaths to become ragged.
Lin Yuan’s words had essentially raised the Yi family up to the sky.
It used to be that the Yi family was the weakest of the Yang, Bai, and Su families. Although they were called the Hundred Treasures Family, they only managed to survive by keeping their heads down around the other families.
There was nothing that Yi Huailong could do about this because, in terms of hard force, it was true that the Yi family could not measure up to the Yang, Bai, or Su families.
!!
The Yi family did not have Immortal experts. No matter how seriously they were bullied, they dared not burn bridges with the other three families.
Some other families even bullied the Yi family because of their close relationships with the other three families. Those families were well aware that the Yi family did not have much power. So even if they were bullied to the point of being called worthless, they could not do anything more than suffer silently.
The Bai family had been eyeing the Yi family for very long, and it seemed as though they would pounce on the Yi family at any time.
The most powerful combatant in the Yi family was Yi Huailong.
No matter how brave and noble-hearted he was, he had to live in fear every day.
Yi Huailong never dreamt that the day would come when the Yi family had the chance to enter the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court.
He nurtured the Snake Blood Nether Rose secretly, as well as numerous snake-species feys so that the Yi family would not be helpless when the day came that they were finally attacked.
Now, the Yi family’s chance finally came.
Although Yi Huailong trusted Lin Yuan and knew that Sky Creation had a Class 5 Creation Master, as well as unimaginable power, the Su and Bai experts had died under mysterious circumstances in the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court.
Moreover, Lin Yuan knew that there was a hidden faction in the imperial court.
Given the situation, charging into the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court like the Su and Bai families did seemed too dangerous.
Yi Huailong reminded Lin Yuan carefully, “Young Master, the Yang family has the ability to kill three Immortal experts without getting too deep into the fight themselves. Do you think…”
Lin Yuan replied, “If three Immortal experts enter Sky Creation’s tree castle, we’ll be able to kill them too. So there’s nothing to worry about. The Yi family just needs to be ready.”
Lin Yuan’s words made Yi Huailu, Yi Huailong, and the rest of the Yi family dizzy.
Immortal experts were already legends and the strongest powerhouses to strong factions in the Divine Wood Federation.
They had never even heard of experts beyond Immortal, much less seen them.
Eternal was a completely new concept to Yi Huailu, Yi Huailong, and the rest of the Yi family.
Lin Yuan’s words exploded the Yi family’s realm of understanding.
Liu Jie was also shocked when he heard what Lin Yuan said. However, he knew that Lin Yuan was not the type to spout wild lies.
Hence, faced with Eternal experts, Lin Yuan had to have his own way of dealing with them.
Liu Jie’s mind was focused on Lin Yuan.
From the moment he saw Lin Yuan, Liu Jie noticed that there was a pink and gold gem at the corner of his eye.
Liu Jie thought, The gem at the corner of his eye is probably an opportunity Lin Yuan gained on his trip to the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.
Liu Jie preferred to take the simple method.
Liu Jie felt that in order to control the Divine Wood Federation, it was necessary to take out the Yang family, who currently lorded over the imperial court.
Liu Jie felt that the leader of a faction that led a federation had to do everything while placing the federation’s best interests first.
However, even if the Yang family knew of the Su family’s motives, they had ignored it and exterminated the Su and Bai families later.
The Yang family would be doing harm to the Divine Wood Federation if they killed most of the experts from the Divine Wood Federation.
The Truth Association could not support the Yang family endlessly. It would always be better to rely on oneself than others.
By having the Yi family replace the Yang family as the head of the Divine Wood Federation, the entire Divine Wood Federation would be under the protection of Sky Creation.
This would be a blessing for the entire Divine Wood Federation.
After Lin Yuan told the Yi family about his plan, he went upstairs with Liu Jie.
Liu Jie said seriously, “Lin Yuan, ever since I arrived at the Startling Lines Continent, I’ve been sending out large numbers of the Lonely Night Hurricane Moths to scout out the surroundings. Besides the winter that has swept through the Iron Hammer Federation and the blizzards that come with it, which prevent the Lonely Night Hurricane Moths from entering the area, they have searched through all other regions.
“I noticed that most of the gold resources in the Startling Lines Continent are in the Great Lush Federation. According to the information from Su Yiren, the Great Lush Federation appears to be weaker than the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation.
“I am curious to learn what method the Great Lush Federation used in the early days to obtain so many gold resources. The deep harbor in the Great Lush Federation is the most precious sea strategic resource. I wonder if there has been a faction hidden in the Great Lush Federation from the moment of its establishment.
“But now, that faction is starting to extend its tendrils into the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation. I have a feeling that the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation’s combat power can’t compare with that of the hidden faction in the Great Lush Federation.”
Lin Yuan looked at Liu Jie curiously.
To Lin Yuan’s memory, Liu Jie lacked planning capabilities and was not skilled at analysis. Otherwise, he would have only assigned Liu Jie to be the head of the white-clothed followers.
Lin Yuan found Liu Jie’s improvement to be almost unbelievable.
When he saw Lin Yuan’s gaze, Liu Jie said, “In the few days that you were in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, I noticed that Bai Qinghuan was busy writing something and took a look at it. I saw that she was using the information she had on hand to deduce the situation in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm. As such, I started chatting with her. After half a day of chatting with her, I gained a lot of knowledge. Bai Qinghuan is indeed a talent!”
Lin Yuan rarely heard Liu Jie praise another person.
When he previously saw the information that Bai Qinghuan organized, Lin Yuan knew how exceptional Bai Qinghuan’s skills of deduction were. Moreover, almost all of Bai Qinghuan’s skills of deduction were geared toward strategy.
If Liu Jie could grow through his interaction with Bai Qinghuan, Lin Yuan hoped that both of them could interact more.
Sky City was started by Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Wen Yu. It was not Lin Yuan’s effort alone.
It could be said that Liu Jie did not participate in Sky Creation’s daily operations besides leading the white-clothed followers.
If Liu Jie could improve in terms of strategy, he would be able to help more in managing Sky City.
Lin Yuan could tell that Liu Jie was very willing to contribute to Sky City.
