Genius Summoner - Chapter 1576
1576 Breaking Off Completely (1)
“Kids, weigh yourselves before you attack,” said Qu Lanyi coldly. He spread his fingers and a faint aura flowed through his fingertips, dissipating in the air. The few young people immediately turned pale and took a few steps back.
The faces of the experts around darkened and they looked at Yun Feng and the others vigilantly. Yun Feng only said indifferently, “Lanyi, let’s go.”
Qu Lanyi snorted coldly and followed them. The three of them stood on the Teleportation Array and soon disappeared. The few young people stood there in a daze and looked at each other. “Are they… from the Central Continent?”
“They must be from the Central Continent. Their strength has probably already reached the Lord Level or above…” The few young people became even paler when they thought of this. The powerhouses on the side remained silent, but they weren’t calm in their minds.
“Young people nowadays are still so impetuous.” The three of them came out of the Teleportation Array and were teleported to the capital of the Fengyun Empire. Qu Lanyi said with disappointment on his face. Yun Feng chuckled. No matter how the world changed, it was very difficult for humans to change their minds.
Glancing at Little Fire, which had been silent, Yun Feng sighed softly and put it into the Ring of Contract. Perhaps Little Fire was also feeling complicated right now. The two of them walked to the capital of the Fengyun Empire. The capital had been developing better these years. Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi keenly noticed that there were a lot of masters in the capital. Many of them should be from the West Continent and the Central Continent. The number of mages had increased drastically. With the environment of the East Continent, there couldn’t be so many mages.
“It seems that the connection brought by the Spatial Teleportation Array is indeed huge.” Qu Lanyi looked at the crowd that passed him and sighed. Such a connection didn’t only bring communication between people, but also change of politics, economy and so on.
“According to Qingqing, even so, the Shang family and the De family will still have a headache.” Yun Feng glanced at the crowd walking in the capital. “The capital is obviously much more vigilant. It seems that it’s indeed as Qingqing said.”
“So, Yun Sheng will also have a headache.” Qu Lanyi frowned slightly. The two of them immediately rushed to Mu City. Mu City hadn’t expanded, but it was already unique economically. Its development direction was similar to that of Chunfeng Town. It was gradually out of the control of the Fengyun Empire and became a semi-independent area. The Mu family was certainly the most powerful one in Mu City. Mu Xiaojin was the absolute representative of the Mu family.
After Yun Feng and Qu Lanyi arrived in the sky above the Mu family, they easily saw a lot of unfamiliar faces. Yun Feng had some impression of some of them. They were members of the De family and the Shang family. Yun Feng frowned slightly. It seemed that her brother and Xiaojin had been annoyed a lot.
“Do you want to hear what they’re talking about?” Qu Lanyi raised his brows. Yun Feng nodded. The two of them immediately hid themselves and came to a corner of the main hall of the Mu family. At this moment, Yun Sheng and Mu Xiaojin were sitting in the middle. Both of them looked a bit embarrassed. Sitting next to them were none other than Shang Qu and De Lan, the leaders of the Shang family and the De family. A few people, old and young, were sitting next to them. They seemed to be elites of the Shang family and the De family.
“Master Shang, Mu City has never cared about the outside world. This request… puts us in a difficult position,” said Yun Sheng. Time didn’t leave any traces on him. He only looked a bit mature, and Mu Xiaojin was even more so, adding a hint of maturity.
“Yun Sheng, the Fengyun Empire is indeed facing a problem right now. If we can solve it, we won’t come to you.” Shang Qu sighed with dissatisfaction on his face. De Lan was the same. Mu Xiaojin frowned and said, “Master Shang, I made an agreement with you and Master De a few years ago to exchange a huge amount of money for peace in Mu City every year.”
“Yes, there is indeed such an agreement, but the situation is special right now. We have no choice,” said De Lan. Mu Xiaojin looked cold. “Since it’s an agreement, how can you go back on your words as the leaders of the Fengyun Empire?”
Yun Sheng patted the back of Mu Xiaojin’s hand. Mu Xiaojin had reached an agreement with the two of them a few years ago. Every year, the Mu family would exchange the wealth they sized up for a semi-independent state. The De family and the Shang family agreed readily, but now, these two families took a huge amount of money from the Mu family and went back on their words at the last minute. It was no wonder that Mu Xiaojin wasn’t angry.
Luckily, Yun Jing had already left for the headquarters of the Yun family, or the Shang family and the De family would definitely find him first. Seeing this scene, Yun Feng became even more determined. “These two old guys are quite thick-skinned,” said Qu Lanyi in a low voice as he looked at Mu Xiaojin. “However, Mu Xiaojin has indeed changed a lot.”
“Master Mu, after all, Mu City can only develop like this under the protection of the Fengyun Empire. Now that Fengyun is in trouble, what’s the big deal if the Mu family helps?” Finally, someone couldn’t hold back anymore. Mu Xiaojin pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. That person continued, “The Mu family and the Yun family are connected by marriage. No matter what, the Yun family and the Mu family are both members of the Fengyun Empire. It’s fine if you don’t want to help. Is it so difficult for you to ask the Mercenary Union for help right now?”
“The Mercenary Union has always been a neutral organization. I can’t let them violate their principles for personal reasons. Neither can Yun Sheng,” said Mu Xiaojin with a hint of coldness on her face. Yun Sheng also said solemnly on the side, “The Mercenary Union isn’t anyone’s private property. Even if they’re friends with anyone, it’s Feng. It’s useless even if we go.”
“Yun Sheng, I just wanted you to send a message. Doesn’t the Red Maple Mercenary Team respect Yun Feng as their Young Lady? Then, you’re certainly the Young Master. For Yun Feng’s sake, the Red Maple Mercenary Team can’t possibly refuse,” said De Lan in a low voice, but Yun Sheng was a bit angry.
“The Red Maple Mercenary Team isn’t the Yun family’s private property! I won’t let the Red Maple Mercenary Team violate their principles because of the empire’s conflict!”
“Pa!” A young man suddenly slapped the table and stood up. “Yun Sheng, Mu Xiaojin! Lord Shang and Lord De came up to you in person to beg you, but you still don’t know what’s good for you! There are so many mercenaries in the Red Maple Mercenary Team. What’s wrong with lending us some? There are so many mercenaries idling around. Why is it so difficult for you to say anything?”
“You make it sound so easy. If the soldiers of the Red Maple Mercenary Team die in the disputes between empires, who will bear the responsibility?” Yun Sheng said with a cold face. Another young man snorted in disdain. “It’s just a few mercenaries. Their lives aren’t so valuable.”
