Chapter 1915 - 1915 The Wind Crinkles the Freedom Federation's Sea!
1915 The Wind Crinkles the Freedom Federation’s Sea!
The Goddess of Mercy’s look of amusement became even more evident.
“Li Yang, I haven’t even gotten to you yet, but you spoke out first. I think you owe Na Na and Du Miao an explanation. You are the one who picked Na Na’s son and the expert Du Miao favored to join the envoy group. Besides the two of them, you owe me an explanation too. You are solely responsible for Qian Yu’s death!”
The Goddess of Mercy’s words stunned Li Yang.
It would have been fine if you called me stupid. It would also have been fine if Du Miao and Na Na had held me accountable. I was indeed the one who picked Lu Ou and Han Qi. But what does Qian Yu’s death have to do with me!?
He was the one who asked to lead the team to the Radiance Federation. Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian were my favored experts. Who will answer to me for their deaths?
Moreover, Lin Yuan killed Qian Yu in front of you, and I didn’t see you step in to save him. But now, you’re pushing the blame on me and demanding that I take responsibility!
If not for the fact that Li Yang could not beat the Goddess of Mercy, he would have charged at her in spite of where they presently were.
Li Yang looked extremely offended, but he dared not say a word.
He had received support from Na Na and did what he was supposed to do. He could not help it if she was dissatisfied.
His eyes shone as the gold-haired man looked down at the Goddess of Mercy.
The Goddess of Mercy’s heckling and control of the situation stole the voices of everyone else present.
The gold-haired man drawled. “It looks like the Radiance Federation’s power is completely different from a decade ago. Even someone as proud as the Goddess of Mercy had no choice but to watch as her favored expert was killed.
“I remember that the Goddess of Mercy had high hopes for Qian Yu. Even I saw a bright future for Qian Yu. I can understand the Goddess of Mercy’s inappropriate words at this time due to her rage over Qian Yu’s death. But I wonder how that person from the Radiance Federation was capable of killing a favored expert the Goddess of Mercy personally nurtured.
“Lu Ou was pushed into a corner. Na Na, I am done concocting the spirit fluid you asked from me. Once the meeting is over, I will hand it to you.”
The Goddess of Mercy looked livid when she heard the gold-haired man call her inappropriate.
But what he said later caused her chest to tighten.
The Mirror God had noticed Lin Yuan! This was definitely not a good thing.
Usually, Na Na should have paid a large number of resources in order to obtain the spirit fluid from the Mirror God. But when the Mirror God found out about the situation from Na Na, he willingly gave her the spirit fluid.
Besides the people from Tower Canon, only the God of Fools and Mirror God knew that the Goddess of Mercy needed the mermaid bloodline. Na Na was completely unaware of this.
But if Na Na told the Mirror God that Lin Yuan could transform into a mermaid and possessed the mermaid bloodline, the Mirror God would definitely be able to guess the Goddess of Mercy’s intentions.
This made the Goddess of Mercy nervous.
Nonetheless, her aura and attitude did not change in the slightest.
In front of the Mirror God, the slightest change in one’s expression would catch his attention.
After interacting with the Mirror God for so long, the Goddess of Mercy had learned how to keep her guard up around him.
Other than when the Freedom Federation’s members of royalty shared the same profits, they never gave away information about themselves. This was because they would be able to obtain unique resources from others once they secured exclusive information.
Normally, Na Na would never give away information to the Mirror God.
But since the Mirror God had promised her something that she badly needed, she was not going to hold back anything from him.
However, the battle had essentially been over when she arrived.
Lin Yuan had also removed his mermaid state.
Most of what she knew about the battle she had heard from Li Yang.
Li Yang’s focus had been on Lin Yuan’s blessing from a Heavenly Family Fey and his extraordinary sacred source lifeform. Thus, these were the bulk of what Na Na talked about.
Although she also mentioned the other feys, these two points caught the Mirror God’s attention more.
The Goddess of Mercy let out a breath of relief when she heard that the Mirror God’s focus was on his Heavenly Family Fey blessing.
Nonetheless, she knew that the Mirror God was interested in Lin Yuan, and it was only a matter of time before he found out about Lin Yuan’s mermaid bloodline.
The Goddess of Mercy had two choices.
The first choice would be to try and attain Lin Yuan’s affection to evolve her bloodline before she broke her promise to the Radiance Federation and continued being a member of the Freedom Federation’s royalty.
The second choice would be to fulfill her promise to the Radiance Federation and not rush into trying to attain Lin Yuan’s affection. Instead, she would continue to drain resources from the Freedom Federation before breaking ties with them.
There was no denying that the first choice was much simpler than the second choice.
The second choice would have more long-term ripples.
The Goddess of Mercy would not be satisfied to stop at the first step. She also wanted to take the second and then third step.
However, she had to carefully mull over both choices before she came to a decision.
The most common topic at the meetings at the Freedom Mystic Temple was the division of resources.
The Mirror God had sided with Li Yang and Na Na against the Goddess of Mercy. This made the Goddess of Mercy aware that she could seize the initiative to divide up the resources from the Mirror God, who was skilled at managing the power balance.
The meeting came to an end with all of them thinking about their own profits.
Once everyone left the Freedom Mystic Temple, the Mirror God lazily stood up and looked through the glass ceiling at the golden light glinting within rolling clouds as he mumbled under his breath, “Big Brother, you fell asleep ten years ago in order to break through. Otherwise, the Radiance Federation would have disappeared ten years ago. In these ten years, I have been managing the Freedom Federation in your stead. But I’m getting tired. You know I hate making decisions!”
The gold-haired young man’s body was suddenly frozen within a mirror, and cracks spread across the mirror until the mirror shattered.
A strange old man appeared in the shattered mirror.
Half of this old man’s body was the same as a young man’s, but the other half was covered in wrinkles and resembled an ancient old man.
Yet, the two completely different sides were joined together in an extremely complementary manner.
The strange figure walked out of the Freedom Mystic Temple.
As he looked out into the Freedom Federation’s sea, his gaze fell on the tall stone statue as he said softly, “Big Brother, whether you wake up or not, I will attack the Radiance Federation two years later for the sake of that.”
A gust of wind from the sky wrinkled the blue fabric that was the surface of the Freedom Federation’s sea.
