Chapter 318: Don’t Let It Become a Mountain That Touches to the Ground Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios For the past few months, the Moon Empress had done many things she would not usually do. In this world, only Lin Yuan could make her personally peel apples. After hearing the Moon Empress’ question, Lin Yuan took a bite of the peeled apple and put it on the table before replying, “The training ended early, so I came back earlier to spend New Year’s with you.” The Moon Empress had been worried whether Lin Yuan had encountered any problems. Now that she heard his reply, she wore a brighter smile on her face. She pointed at the lotus pond not far away and said, “These lotus feys in the lotus pond have been promoted to Suzerain. The ground lotus powder from their roots is the most delicious. During New Year’s, Mystic Moon can cook the Suzerain Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia’s bloomed osmanthus and these flower feys’ roots into lotus powder and osmanthus candies.” When Cai Cha heard the Moon Empress’ words, she could not help but shudder. Wasn’t the Moon Empress spoiling Lin Yuan too much? That Suzerain lotus flower fey’s essence was concentrated in the lotus seeds and roots. Although lotus seeds were rarer and only produced a batch every three years, lotus roots were available every year. How rare were this Suzerain lotus flower fey’s lotus roots as well as the Suzerain Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia’s osmanthus? The Suzerain lotus flower feys in the inner palace’s lotus pond had high intelligence, so they all trembled upon hearing the Moon Empress’ words. The lotus flower feys, which had spent great efforts to break through to Suzerain so that they could stay in the Radiant Moon Palace’s inner palace, could not help but feel doubtful. Why did they have to make so much effort to stand out from their own kind and evolve into Suzerain? They had thought that they had become a winner in life. However, it now seemed as if those brothers that had been moved to the garden outside the palace were better off. Their lotus roots had grown out with much difficulty, yet they would have to be cut off every time Lin Yuan came. After dinner, Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress had a knowledge quiz. The knowledge quiz with him surprised the Moon Empress. Her disciple seemed to have grown a lot in the past two months. This was because only when a person stood at a height could they ask questions that were needed to be considered at that height. Lin Yuan’s questions were now clearly much better than before. The Moon Empress’ answers were as detailed as possible. Each answer allowed him to have a thorough understanding and thus be enlightened. After leaving the Radiant Moon Palace, Lin Yuan seriously said to the Moon Empress, “Master, I’ve decided to form my own faction starting this month.” Upon hearing that, she replied with a smile, “If you can let your faction become the cloud by the sky, don’t let it become the mountain that touches the ground.” Lin Yuan left the Radiant Moon Palace and walked on the road while pondering over his master’s words. ... At that moment, Mystic Moon walked to the inner palace and said, “Moon Empress, do you want me to help Young Lord establish his faction?” The Moon Empress shook her head. She understood Lin Yuan’s nature and principle, so she was very clear of his independence. If it was any other matter, the Moon Empress might be able to help secretly with her selfishness as his master. However, such things as factions were not something she could help with even if she wanted to. If she intervened and helped Lin Yuan with the power she had, that would be akin to conveying a message to the outside—I, the Moon Empress, am backing up Lin Yuan’s faction. If she really did this, the faction he carefully established would become a vassal of the Radiant Moon Palace in other factions’ eyes. The Moon Empress could pave the way for her student as his master. However, she would let her spoiling become a stumbling block in the way of her student. The Moon Empress looked at Mystic Moon and said, “My disciple has grown up and wants to venture into the world. As his master, I can only ensure he will not be bullied. I’ll let him handle other matters by himself.” As Mystic Moon listened to the Moon Empress, he realized that the Moon Empress looked at her with an odd gaze that contained smugness. The Moon Empress then said, “Why am I telling you this? You don’t have a disciple, so how will you understand my feelings as a master after accepting such an outstanding disciple?” Mystic Moon revealed a puzzled look and could not help but ridicule inwardly, I have long known how outstanding Young Lord is! QAQ Lin Yuan walked out of the Radiance Moon Mountain and went down the Leaning Moon Mountain. Due to the earlier question-and-answer session, it was dusk now. There was still snow on the Royal Capital’s outskirts from ten days ago. However, when Lin Yuan returned from the Endless Forest’s depths in the far north, the Royal Capital had already warmed up, and the temperature would not drop below 15 degrees even in the evening. Although the temperature in the Royal Capital was not low, the wind there was strong. That evening breeze blew the hair in front of Lin Yuan’s forehead and revealed his clean, youthful forehead. The sky was filled with the sunset, and the multicolored sunlight landed on the youth’s forehead, elongating his figure. If the training in the controlled Class 3 abyss dimensional rift had given Lin Yuan a ruler to measure one’s heart, then the training in the Endless Forest’s depths let Lin Yuan realize how big this world was and how tiny he was. The world was big, yet also urging and attracting Lin Yuan. This made him firmly believe that although he was tiny, he could still step across the river and over the mountains and step on the clouds and touch the light of the dome. Despite the autumn wind constantly blowing on him, Lin Yuan’s pace was more and more determined. Green hills with green water? Live your life with grace. This world was really very beautiful! He had a younger sister, a master, and friends. Even though Lin Yuan was not greedy, he could not help having the idea of ‘Drunken without return’. Faint clouds and light wind accompanied the late autumn dusk. But when stepping on the thick earth, the sunset became a cocoon, its body clad in heaven. Lin Yuan had completely integrated into this world, and no longer had a trace of the feeling of transmigration. Lin Yuan returned to his mansion in the Royal Capital and could not help but look forward to seeing Wen Yu and Liu Jie. Based on this timing, it would be time for Liu Jie to enter the Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking in a few days. Therefore, Liu Jie should have returned to this mansion by this time. After three years of silence, Liu Jie would also go to get back the glory that he had previously guarded with his life. However, when Lin Yuan just stepped into his mansion, he was stunned by the scene before him. It had changed dramatically after more than a month!
