Chapter 2901 Is This a Pretend Weakness Scheme? In Wen Yu and Liu Jie’s minds, Listen was a very prideful person. He might not show this on the surface but it was clear from his actions! For Listen to recommend Gu Lang, it meant that he had attained Listen’s acknowledgment and that Listen genuinely believed that Gu Lang was stronger than him! Wen Yu’s eyes flashed. She had always been Sky City’s main manager. Yet, she never noticed anything special about Gu Lang. This made her reflect on whether she had lost her sharp eye because of how busy she had been of late. Listen rarely recommended anyone to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he replied, “Listen, you, Gu Lang, and Endless Summer are a team. Until now, you’ve been the one leading this team. You can decide for yourself how this team should develop from now on. “If you need anything, let Wen Yu know and she’ll make things easier for you. If you come up against any external obstacles, go ahead and remove them.” After Su Yiren and Luo Lan arrived, they conversed with Lin Yuan for a while as well. They did not talk about their struggles, but they seriously told Lin Yuan about the issue that Wen Yu had just highlighted. The two of them let out sighs of relief when Lin Yuan said that he could resolve the issue. With the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower, Lin Yuan could continue to control everything in Sky City even while he was traveling. With Lin Yuan making the decisions, Sky City developed even faster than before. … Jin Chen completed the trade with the Andra clan and brought back a large amount of blood-type spiritual ingredients for Lin Yuan. As a native expert from the Sky Beyond the Clouds, Jin Chen knew which side had the advantage in a trade. The Andra clan had been very sincere in the trade and were willing to absorb some losses if it meant that they could demonstrate their goodwill to Lin Yuan. However, Jin Chen was very unhappy with the Andra clan. During the trade, he sensed that the two Elders he had been trading with had made several attempts to gain information from him. They had even hinted that they could give him some benefits. If Jin Chen was not completely under Lin Yuan’s control, to the point that Lin Yuan even decided whether he lived or died, Jin Chen might have taken the bait that the Andra clan had dangled in front of him! Jin Chen told all of this to Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was not bothered when he heard that. He never assumed he was truly on good terms with the Andra clan just because they held a banquet to receive him. It was true that the Andra clan wanted to be on good terms with him ever since witnessing his power. However, it would be more accurate to say that they wanted to use him. Lin Yuan had only ever intended to make use of the Andra clan as well. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖 Suddenly, Jin Chen remembered something. Before trading with the Andra clan, he saw Feng Xuan, who had brought Lin Yuan to the Andra clan. Feng Xuan had said that he really wanted to meet with Lin Yuan. However, Jin Chen was not in a position to make a decision and had not responded to Feng Xuan. Now that the memory had surfaced, he told Lin Yuan about this. Jin Chen sensed that Feng Xuan had been injured. His roots were seriously damaged as well. If injured roots were not treated in time, there would be serious consequences. It was likely that Feng Xuan had ended up in this state because of what he had done at the banquet. The Andra clan had expressed their anger to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. In order to appease them, the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ leader had abandoned Feng Xuan. Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. He had communicated with Fan Lou twice. Just like how Feng Qing had allowed Fan Lou to decide Feng Xuan’s fate, Lin Yuan allowed Fan Lou to decide the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ fate. Fan Lou’s final decision was to eliminate the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves and use them as a springboard. With such a goal, the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were definitely headed for death! But now, Feng Xuan’s actions could not drag down the entire Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Hence, he needed a larger stage. “Jin Chen, since Feng Xuan wants to see me, bring him to me. I also want to thank him for bringing me to the Andra clan.” Jin Chen froze momentarily before bowing respectfully to Lin Yuan and backing out of the room. Jin Chen had a feeling that there was nothing in this world that Lin Yuan would not be able to calculate or plan for! Since Lin Yuan was willing to meet Feng Xuan, it meant that the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ fate was sealed. … Feng Xuan had been taken away by members of the Andra clan before receiving Lin Yuan’s response. Out of consideration for their dignity, the Andra clan would not go over the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ heads to handle Feng Xuan. It was likely that Feng Xuan would be sent back to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. There was no way that Feng Xuan would have a good time back with the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves! Without Lin Yuan’s response, it was as though he had rejected his connection to Feng Xuan. This caused Feng Xuan to become useless to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. It was just as Jin Chen had predicted. The Andra clan had delivered Feng Xuan back to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Andre had been the one who delivered Feng Xuan to Feng Qing. Andre had not mistreated Feng Xuan. He saw him as lowly but did reproach Feng Qing fiercely. Feng Qing’s face transitioned through shades of red and white, but he had no choice but to apologize continuously to Andre. Feng Qing never intended to let Feng Xuan go free. But now that he had been insulted because of Feng Xuan, Feng Qing’s heart burned with killing intent. Andre did not think much of Feng Qing. The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were nothing more than one of the Bloodians’ dependent species. The Bloodians were also the ones who decided whether the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves lived or died. Andre thought that after handing Feng Xuan over to Feng Qing and giving him a scolding, Feng Qing would remember his lesson. However, Feng Qing had not listened to anything he had said at all! Apart from the scolding, Andre’s tone became increasingly insulting. After hearing what Andre told Feng Qing, Feng Xuan’s heart pounded. He felt utterly hopeless. Feng Xuan thought back to how Feng Qing had treated him. It was likely that it was because of another insulting scolding that Feng Qing had received from Andre. Feng Qing did not decide to kill Feng Xuan outright. Since he had made a promise to Fan Lou, he would not go back on his word. Feng Qing regretted not imprisoning Feng Xuan after the last incident. He should not have given Feng Xuan the chance to move freely. Feng Xuan had completely ignored his words and had not reflected on his actions at all. Feng Qing placed Feng Xuan in a prison and thought that this messy event would finally come to an end. However, in just a few hours, Andre came back and furiously asked where Feng Xuan was. Feng Xuan was imprisoned. There was no way he had caused more trouble, right? Feng Qing humbled himself completely in front of Andre. He did not come across as the leader of a species at all. “Your Excellency, Andre. Why have you come back to see me? When Feng Xuan angered you, he had been acting on his own, and I’ve taught him a lesson. He won’t be interfering with the Andra clan’s plan again!” Andre’s current attitude was far more aggressive than it had been when he sent Feng Xuan back. Andre always saw Feng Xuan as a trivial character. This trivial character did not even catch the eye of the Andra clan, much less someone like Lin Yuan. While interacting with Lin Yuan, Andre had sensed Lin Yuan’s prideful air. It could even be described as arrogance! There was no way that Lin Yuan had come to see Feng Xuan because he was scheming and trying to target Feng Xuan. It was likely that Feng Xuan had used a certain method to attract Lin Yuan’s attention. He truly did not know his place! Andre scanned Feng Qing’s expression to try and discern something. Feng Qing had even been willing to hurt Feng Xuan’s roots. Was this a pretend weakness scheme? To any large species, exchanging a few members for an opportunity was a reliable and beneficial choice. As this thought occupied more of Andre’s mind, his gaze became increasingly wicked. “The plan has already been interfered with. Feng Qing, let me warn you one last time. Don’t forget how the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves managed to become linked with the Andra clan. The Andra clan is willing to nurture the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, yet you harbor thoughts of mutiny. “Do you think the Andra clan are saints? When a dog bites its owner, it has to be killed. Do you really think that the Elise clan, which doesn’t come from the Scarlet Territory in the first place, will offend a Bloodian clan for the sake of another species?” From Andre’s words, Feng Qing could tell that Andre was extremely upset. At the same time, he managed to guess Andre’s reason for saying such things. He had misunderstood the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. If he truly wanted to curry favor with that young member of the Elise clan, he could not use such a dumb method! Feng Qing had always cared about how the Andra clan viewed the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. In truth, if the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves wanted to move forward, they needed to establish a positive connection to the four major species of the Lonely River. This would not affect the Andra clan’s profits. Feng Qing knew what kind of species the Bloodians were. They never tolerated any mistakes made by their dependent species. Feng Qing hastily said, “I can swear on the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ ancestors that we have never wanted to leave the Andra clan. Please look into this carefully! This is a small gesture from me, I hope you will accept it!” Feng Qing took out a fang-shaped spatial equipment and handed it to Andre. Andre’s expression became more pleasant. After receiving Feng Qing’s spatial equipment, he said coldly, “Feng Qing, the Andra clan has always treated the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves well. Do not forget this! Let the one who I sent back take me around. Black Elise wants to see him!” Andre’s attitude toward Feng Qing changed because of the resources he had been gifted. If Feng Qing had not made any gestures, he would have been further berated by Andre! The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves ancestors had been a branch of the Moon-Worshiping Wolves. It was not a glittering legacy. To a species like the Bloodians who valued legacy, the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves were a very lowly species. Even if the species with long legacies were weaker than the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, they would receive much better treatment from the Bloodians than the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves did. Feng Qing assumed that Feng Xuan had only bumped into the young Bloodian named Black Elise by chance and that Black Elise couldn’t care less about Feng Xuan. He assumed that the Andra clan were angered by Feng Xuan trying to use this to bolster his status. So why was the Bloodian named Black Elise asking to see Feng Xuan? The gears in Feng Qing’s mind began turning, and he began trying to come up with ways to curry favor with the Elise clan. A careful person like Feng Qing was thinking this way because he had been repeatedly pressured by the Andra clan. Feng Qing could clearly sense that the Andra clan’s treatment of the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves was worsening, and this made him very anxious. Alas, he did not know how to improve the situation. If Andre wanted to take Feng Xuan away, he could not say no. All he could do was hope that Feng Xuan did not do something stupid again. Even if he failed to make contact with Black Elise, he did not want to increase the displeasure that the Andra clan felt toward the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves. Given Feng Qing’s understanding of Feng Xuan, he knew that Feng Xuan would do everything he could to gain the favor of Black Elise and increase his value. Feng Qing did not expect his actions to have wholly disappointed Feng Xuan. In fact, Feng Xuan resented his own bloodline now. Feng Xuan’s disappointment in Feng Qing triggered him more than his envy of Fan Lou did. When Andre received Feng Xuan from Feng Qing, a sour expression appeared on his face. “Feng Qing, do you expect me to take this injury-ridden fellow to meet with Black Elise? Hurry up and heal him before changing into some clean and presentable clothes!” After completing the trade with Lin Yuan through Jin Chen, the Andra clan seemed to have suffered a loss after giving up a large amount of blood-type spiritual ingredients. However, the Creator resources that Lin Yuan had given them were of an extremely high level and would be very useful for them. With Lin Yuan’s Creator resources, the Andra clan would be able to increase their power within a very short span of time. In the thousands of years they had spent in the Scarlet Territory, the Andra clan had accumulated a large amount of blood-type spiritual ingredients but had been unable to do the same with Creator resources. Only five of the Andra clan’s members were Creators, and only one of them had reached Grade 4. The remaining four were Grade 2 and were a distance away from reaching the next grade. If not for their lack of Creator resources, the Andra clan would have been able to reach the top 40 king clans and would not be awkwardly stuck at the 83rd position like they currently were!
