Chapter 405: Fei Qianqiong’s Submission Any rich and powerful family valued one’s background very much. The direct descendants’ words could represent the family, while indirect descendants could only represent themselves. “Fei Qianqiong, is the Young Master Zheng that you’re talking about the direct descendant of the Zheng family of Indigo Azure City?” Lin Yuan’s clear voice sounded next to Fei Qianqiong’s ears. Fei Qianqiong did not dare to be the least bit slow, but he felt somewhat awkward due to Lin Yuan’s question. “Only the two brothers, Bi Chenghu and Bi Chengxiong, have seen Young Master Zheng. I’ve not seen what he looks like, so whether he’s the Zheng family’s direct descendant, I...” Fei Qianqiong knew that the youth who had asked him was the most significant person in this room. When the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu was still under Fei Qianqiong’s control, crazy ideas had flashed in his head, but the Blood-Toothed Cricket was now struggling on the ground without being under his control at all. The Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu was also on the brink of death in the hands of the Suzerain/Myth Breed humanoid fey. Fei Qianqiong simply did not have the ability to go crazy even if he wanted to. It was an instantaneous decision when one was unafraid of death. However, when making this decision and after experiencing the line between life and death, almost everyone would change their mind and become afraid of death. Fei Qianqiong was no exception. What he wanted most now was to be able to live. When Fei Qianqiong finished speaking, Lin Yuan pondered. When he looked up, he saw Listen’s eyes looking at him, clearly waiting for him to make a decision. Lin Yuan knew what was in Listen’s mind. When facing a veteran faction, most people would not hesitate to leave behind an empty shelf with nothing like the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. Listen was now like a deer that had just found its way in despair. However, this deer was worried that the direction it was searching for would regard him as a burden and leave him behind. Just as Listen felt that the air was getting thinner and felt vaguely stuffy in his lungs, he saw Lin Yuan throw over something. Listen hurriedly went to take it, which felt warm in his hands. At a glance, he found that it was a piece of wooden token made of completely jade-textured wenge, carved with ‘Quan’ on it. At that moment, Lin Yuan said, “In the future, I won’t send those objects mixed with completely jade-textured wood powder. Take this token and pick them up at the Spirit Craftsman Association at a certain time every day.” Listen tightly clenched the token in his hands. This token and Lin Yuan’s words showed Lin Yuan’s attitude toward himself and the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. Fei Qianqiong suddenly held his breath. He could sense from the masked youth’s words that he had not given up on supporting the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce because of Young Master Zheng. This at least showed that he was unafraid of Young Master Zheng. People with extremely high emotional intelligence like Listen were rarely emotional. However, after hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Listen needed a long time to calm down before whispering, “Okay.” After a moment of deliberation, Listen said, “The only thing left in Indigo Azure City’s Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce is an old mansion that has been emptied and a shallow coastal sea that is extremely windy. “Could the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce be coveting this shallow coastal sea? “Although this sea is on the coast, it has a deep water level, and great dangers lurk underwater.” Listen’s heart sank upon mentioning this shallow sea. It was this shallow sea that had taken the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s core members away, leaving behind only him. Lin Yuan felt that Listen’s speculation was more reasonable. The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was now completely an empty shelf, and the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce was spending a great deal of effort for nothing by dominating it, let alone a behemoth like the Zheng family. The only thing left that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce could now call as resources was this shallow sea area. This shallow sea area might also be what the Zheng family coveted. Lin Yuan couldn’t help but have a trace of interest. “Before the dimensional rift is active, I’ll go with you to Indigo Azure City to explore this shallow sea.” Although Red Thorn’s ability to breathe underwater had yet to fully mutate, it no longer had any problem surviving in the water. Lin Yuan could not test how strong Red Thorn’s ability to breathe underwater was in the mansion’s man-made lake. Thanks to this opportunity to explore the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s shallow sea area, he could test the limit of Red Thorn’s ability to breathe underwater. Listen didn’t want to face the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s coastal shallow sea in Indigo Azure City again. However, since Lin Yuan had said he wanted to go explore, Listen hurriedly replied, “Young Master, you can call me to depart whenever you have time.” Fei Qianqiong’s face was getting paler and paler. The more he heard the masked youth and Listen’s unrestrained conversation, the more he knew that these two were either talking about unimportant matters or the presence of an outsider like him didn’t matter. However, how could this matter be trivial since it involved the Zheng family? This also meant that this masked youth was simply unafraid that he would hear the secrets, implying that he was actually equivalent to being a dead person in the eyes of others because only a dead man couldn’t talk. Fei Qianqiong hurriedly crawled two steps forward and said with difficulty, “I’ve told you everything I know. Can you guys spare my life? I can swear by the Willpower Rune to submit to you.” At that moment, Fei Qianqiong heard the Mother of Bloodbath’s peculiar and pleasant voice that was filled with insincerity. “You’re even going to swear by the Willpower Rune. That Blood Poison Willpower Rune is good, but unfortunately, this Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu’s Willpower Rune is a dark type. Otherwise, I could taste it again.” The Mother of Bloodbath’s words made Fei Qianqiong’s body tremble. He shouted, “I can swear by the Willpower Rune to become a servant. Also, I’ve killed no one from the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.” As Fei Qianqiong said this, he couldn’t help but break out in a sweat. He had never killed the people from the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, but he had abducted the son and grandsons of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s butler, Qian De, and used the Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu to control Qian De’s son in exchange for the online resources. It could be said that he was the culprit who had made the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce lose its online resources. Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard Fei Qianqiong. Taking in Fei Qianqiong was considered a good thing for Lin Yuan at present because he currently didn’t have any available king-class experts. Even though Fei Qianqiong’s Blood-Toothed Cricket had dropped from a Fantasy Breed to a Diamond IV/Legend fey, it still had strong combat power. Moreover, Fei Qianqiong’s Diamond II/Fantasy II Mind-Controlling Silkworm Gu was still around. Nonetheless, Fei Qianqiong was still a member of the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce and was considered Listen’s enemy. Since Lin Yuan had taken over the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, he didn’t respond to Fei Qianqiong’s submission. Instead, he said to Listen, who was standing next to him, “The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce doesn’t have any king-class experts now. Since Fei Qianqiong wants to submit, keep him if you want. Otherwise, just kill him.” Lin Yuan uttered those words lightly, but he had taken Listen into consideration.
