Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 824
Chapter 824: Drag Down
Lin Yuan was the only person standing around the commotion who did not have an obvious icon on his body. Miao Zhuo asked him, “That boy over there, which do you think is stronger? Connected Beast Park or Condense Fairy Orchard?”
Miao Zhuo’s words made everyone’s gaze focus on Lin Yuan.
Many people were shocked when they got a clear look at his face.
Lin Yuan and Liu Jie had walked behind Sun Ningxiang, and Miao Zhuo immediately targeted her when she stepped into the area outside the Midnight Palace.
Thus, no one had paid attention to Lin Yuan, who was behind her.
Lin Yuan’s performance had been brilliant at the Allstar Match since he had defeated a member of Savage Snake Guild Club’s main team without even summoning any feys.
He had become the hot topic of discussion on Star Web.
The disciples of veteran factions and top factions of similar age to Lin Yuan had recognized Lin Yuan. Many of them had even tried to find out information about him previously.
However, their investigations came up with nothing. It was as though Lin Yuan had materialized out of thin air.
This created even more curiosity surrounding him.
In this era where power equated to resources, even if a spirit qi professional was exceptionally talented, there were many feys available to form contracts with, and it was easy for them to comprehend Willpower Runes.
But without sufficient resources, a spirit qi professional would never be able to become strong. This meant that Lin Yuan had to be sitting on a mountain of resources.
This was proved by Lin Yuan’s right to appear at the Guard Ye Banquet.
When he saw Miao Zhuo pointing at him, a look of amusement appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.
Almost all the main characters had entered the stage, but he had not had the chance to go up yet.
Lin Yuan had been trying to come up with a way to enter the stage as well, but now, without him having to lift a finger, Miao Zhuo had offered him that opportunity.
Sun Ningxiang looked at Lin Yuan and the masked Liu Jie.
Strong tense energy radiated from Sun Ningxiang.
Since Lin Yuan had come with the man wearing the Spirit Guards’ standard mask, it meant that they were friends.
No matter what Lin Yuan’s identity was, Miao Zhuo had also dragged in the masked man by singling Lin Yuan out.
It was not strange that a commotion had broken out between the younger generation of disciples at the Guard Ye Banquet.
But if the main character of the Guard Ye Banquet was involved as well, it would be a huge mistake.
Sun Ningxiang’s grandmother had gotten on the wrong side of Chief Guard Ye by killing three pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters.
If Chief Guard Ye tried to assign blame for this ruckus, the Miao family’s thearch-class experts could ask for forgiveness on Miao Zhuo’s behalf, but her grandmother was still in no shape to make a public appearance. Otherwise, Condense Fairy Orchard’s biggest secret would be exposed.
The Condense Fairy Orchard that she was fighting to keep afloat was about to be torn to pieces by the other factions.
Sun Ningxiang felt that her charisma was waning at that thought.
At that moment, the clear voice of a young man sounded out. “Naturally, there aren’t any veteran factions that can compete with Condense Fairy Orchard. Otherwise, they would have already been promoted to elite factions. Veteran factions are not idiots, and they care about their reputation. They definitely would prefer not to be compared so casually.”
This voice stunned Miao Zhuo, Sun Ningxiang, Zheng Kaiyuan, and the rest of the gawkers from the veteran factions and top factions.
They started looking at him strangely, and more people joined the crowd.
A discerning person would have noticed that Miao Zhuo had purposely chosen a person without any icons on their body.
This was so that he would not offend and start a feud with any veteran faction.
Moreover, when Miao Zhuo spoke, he turned Sun Ningxiang’s words and changed the comparison from Condense Fairy Orchard and veteran factions to between Connected Beast Park and Condense Fairy Orchard.
At their prime, Condense Fairy Orchard had no need to be fearful of Connected Beast Park as both factions ranked amongst the top 20 of the 50 top factions.
However, Condense Fairy Orchard had used up almost all of their Creation Master resources, and they were close to dropping out from the ranks of top factions. It was now impossible for them to compete with Connected Beast Park.
Connected Beast Park’s role had led to an increase in their Creation Master resources, and the general consensus was that Connected Beast Park had slightly more influence than other top factions.
But Miao Zhuo would never have expected that the person he picked not only did not respond to his line of questioning but even responded to the question that he had been trying to avoid.
Additionally, the person he had picked had even strangely brought up that veteran factions would prefer not to be casually compared.
Now, it seemed as though Miao Zhuo was disrespecting veteran factions and was about to lead to a feud with them.
Miao Zhuo’s blood boiled.
Miao Zhuo would have grabbed Lin Yuan’s collar and slapped him if they were not outside the Midnight Palace.
It was a simple question, how dare he be so disrespectful!?
Miao Zhuo had to be considerate of Sun Ningxiang, but for someone who was not even wearing any icons, Miao Zhuo did not plan on being cordial.
He looked at Lin Yuan and said in a low voice, “Since you’re aware that veteran factions care about their reputation, you should be aware that Connected Beast Park cares about our reputation even more.”
Miao Zhuo watched at the young man who looked in a certain direction and said in a voice that was neither rushed nor slow, “It seems that Connected Beast Park isn’t doing a very good job of taking care of your reputation. Even the veteran factions that you spoke lightly of aren’t showing you respect. Some of them have presented the violation of contracts to the Spirit Guards. As much as Connected Beast Park cares about your reputation, you’ll probably still have to cough up a hefty sum.”
Miao Zhuo followed Lin Yuan’s gaze, and his eyes landed on Qi Haitao.
When he saw Qi Haitao, Miao Zhuo saw red.
Miao Zhuo’s anger scared Qi Haitao.
The dispute between the Sea Bliss Clan and Connected Beast Park was an insult to Connected Beast Park.
The Sea Bliss Clan had spent a large sum to form a collaboration with the Five Thearch Soldiers.
The Five Thearch Soldiers had bought several islands with Sea Bliss Clan’s support, and they were in charge of ensuring the safety of the Sea Bliss Clan members and their business on the island.
