Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 2824 Meeting with Fan Lou!

If Fan Lou had obtained this promise from Feng Qing before joining Lin Yuan, he would have definitely been thrilled.

In the past, the Chaos Wind Demon Wolf bloodline was the strongest that Fan Lou had ever come into contact with. However, now that he had witnessed the resources and power that Lin Yuan possessed, Fan Lou no longer held the Chaos Wind Demon Wolf bloodline in such high regard.

Despite the thoughts running through Fan Lou’s mind, he still vocalized his gratitude. “Lord Feng Qing, thank you for rewarding me by enabling my ordinary bloodline to evolve. Does this mean that once you inject the Chaos Wind Demon Wolf bloodline into my body, I will henceforth be considered a Chaos Wind Demon Wolf?”

Fan Lou knew when to be humble and when to pander to Feng Qing.

Feng Qing cared a lot about his own bloodline.

If he rejected the bloodline Feng Qing was offering as a reward, it would be seen as him looking down on the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, immediately causing Feng Qing to fly into a rage.

He needed to show his excitement and use his flattery skills to make Feng Qing happier.

Feng Qing had promised that despite the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves not having a map of the area near the Lonely River, he would ask for one from the Bloodians.

The Bloodians were a powerful faction that had set their sights on the Lonely River in the past, so they definitely had a map!

Fan Lou would be able to prove his worth to Lin Yuan better with that map.

Fan Lou was certain of his goal for his operation. All he needed to do was obtain the venom from the Dark Pufferfish.

The Dark Pufferfish were the ruling species of the Lonely River. They did not even have to be courteous to the Bloodians.

It went without saying they did not have to give someone as trivial as him the time of day.

However, Fan Lou was not concerned that he would not be able to accomplish the task.

All he needed to do was tell Lin Yuan what he needed, and Lin Yuan would definitely help him to resolve the issue!

Feng Qing was very happy with Fan Lou’s response.

When he was in need of someone, Fan Lou stepped up. There was no better subordinate than this!

Moreover, Fan Lou also had exceptional abilities and always did his best in the tasks he was given.

“The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ warriors will be working with the Bloodians in a joint operation soon. But for your sake, I will assign the Forbidden Wolf Team, who are currently training outside, to protect you.

“I will also give you authority among the Light Wind Wolves. You can pick the Light Wind Wolf experts you want to go with you.”

Fan Lou and Feng Xuan looked shocked when they heard what Feng Qing said.

Fan Lou never expected Feng Qing to assign the Forbidden Wolf Team to him!

There were a total of 16 members in the Forbidden Wolf Team. It was said that every one of them had World Emperor/Divine Kingdom power and had the authentic Chaos Wind Demon Wolf bloodline. All of them had also received a portion of the Moon-Worshiping Wolf legacy.

The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves had departed from the Moon-Worshiping Wolves and did not possess much of their legacy.

Only the true core members could receive the legacy!

If everything went well with this operation, it seemed that Feng Qing would truly promote and support him!

Once his shock passed, Feng Xuan looked deeply into Fan Lou’s eyes.

Could it be that this piece of trash was going to enter the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves’ inner circle?

Normally, only the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves with the authentic bloodline could be part of the inner circle.

However, it was not impossible for Fan Lou to become part of the inner circle if he had Feng Qing’s support.

With this thought, Feng Xuan suddenly felt that he had been too reckless trying to compete with Fan Lou all this time.

Feng Qing’s mood improved tremendously, but he did not keep Fan Lou back for long.

Before Fan Lou left, Feng Qing gave him numerous resources and a piece of fertile land that he could manage as he saw fit.

Fan Lou had received many benefits, but Feng Xuan had not received anything.

Fan Lou sensed that Feng Xuan had something on his mind, and based on Feng Xuan’s personality, he anticipated another argument. However, Fan Lou was not in the mood for it at all.

The risks he would have to undertake on this trip to the Lonely River would not be removed just by having the Forbidden Wolf Team and the Light Wind Wolf experts by his side.

The star pirates that traversed the four universes all possessed fearsome strength. Even a large species like the Bloodians would have to send out their strongest experts to avoid casualties.

Fan Lou used to work under Kong Huan.

The Alluring Foxes used to be much more formidable. They had deteriorated so severely because they had encountered a notorious stat pirate group while traveling in the outskirts. This encounter had cost them six Divine Kingdom experts.

If the Alluring Foxes had not suffered such a blow, the Honor Absent Parliament member’s role would not have gone to Kong Huan.

Given that he could not even guarantee his own survival, Fan Lou did not want to squabble with a petty character like Feng Xuan.

He had Lin Yuan’s support. As long as he did a good job on the tasks Lin Yuan gave him, his future development would be limitless!

Just as Fan Lou was about to visit the Light Wind Wolves to recruit their World Emperor/Divine Kingdom experts to accompany him on the journey to the Lonely River, Feng Xuan blocked his way.

Feng Xuan said seriously, “Fan Lou, I would like to congratulate you in advance on joining the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves and becoming a pure-blooded Chaos Wind Demon Wolf. If Lord Feng Qing is willing to help you, your bloodline will definitely be able to evolve successfully!”

Fan Lou raised an eyebrow but did not respond. He looked at Feng Xuan in this manner to signal to him to continue speaking.

Fan Lou already knew that Feng Xuan had said this because he knew that he was about to become Feng Qing’s true right-hand man and wanted to ameliorate their relationship. Hence, he was using this opportunity to mend the bridge between them and flatter him.

Fan Lou had also done similar actions in the past.

When one lacked power and a solid foundation, one did not have the luxury of acting recklessly. Every step one took had to be calculated.

Ever since Fan Lou joined Lin Yuan, he stopped seeing Feng Xuan as his enemy—he did not think Feng Xuan deserved to be his rival.

Fan Lou never intentionally made things difficult for Feng Xuan.

Rather than relying on Feng Qing’s rewards and trying to knock down a direct Chaos Wind Demon Wolf descendant, it would be better for him to use his chance to improve his relationship with Feng Qing.

However, he would not be the one to extend the olive branch. It had to be initiated by Feng Xuan because Fan Lou needed to maintain the upper hand over him in the future.

When Feng Xuan saw that Fan Lou had not reciprocated his gesture, he felt slighted.

Luckily, Fan Lou’s expression was not one of scorn.

Feng Xuan gnashed his teeth and continued. “Fan Lou, we used to be rivals. Now, you have emerged victorious over me. I won’t be competing with you in the future. I think that we have developed an understanding after working together for so long.

“Let’s stop being rivals. We are more suited to collaborating as allies! I will still be staying by Lord Feng Qing’s side. Our collaboration will also be beneficial to you.”

Feng Xuan thought that Fan Lou would put him on the spot once he was done speaking.

Contrary to his expectations, Fan Lou reached out his hand. “In the beginning, you were the one who recommended me and gave me the chance to join Lord Feng Qing. I will never forget that!

“Rather than saying that we’ll be collaborating, let’s become friends instead. If this matter goes well, I will also become a Chaos Wind Demon Wolf. If it doesn’t go well, I won’t be able to continue serving Lord Feng Qing. You will have to serve him in my place!

“I have other matters to attend to, so I can’t stay here any longer to chat. I will ask you out for a drink once I’m back from the Lonely River!”

Fan Lou’s words caused Feng Xuan’s expression to falter.

Once Fan Lou was out of Feng Xuan’s line of vision, all the sincerity vanished from Fan Lou’s eyes.

Fan Lou did not know if Feng Xuan was familiar with Feng Qing’s habits. He knew that Feng Qing had a habit of monitoring his subordinates’ every move.

Normally, Fan Lou would not be able to sense Feng Qing watching him. But the jade that Winter had given him had the ability to detect it.

Based on the jade’s reaction, Feng Qing was currently listening in on their exchange. Hence, he did not mind using this opportunity to properly show off in front of Feng Qing.

…

When Fan Lou arrived at the Light Wind Wolves’ headquarters, it was like he had returned home.

He then picked the four World Emperor/Divine Kingdom Light Wind Wolves.

All he needed to do was wait for the Forbidden Wolf Team to arrive and for Feng Qing to pass him the map of the area surrounding the Lonely River.

Fan Lou would soon be ready to set off.

…

Lin Yuan was currently in a remote area known as the Lonely River.

Sky City’s main members had already saved almost 240 villages.

Liu Jie was the fastest among them. He used the army of insects to surround each village before saving the villagers. This method caused the proportion of faith power he received to be very small.

However, Liu Jie was very stable and calm. After all, every lifeform in the village would have to give up their faith. Even if they did not give it to him, it made no difference, even if they gave it to other members of Sky City.

Wen Yu was the slowest among them, but the proportion of faith power she received was the largest. It was even larger than the proportion that Lin Yuan received!

As such, Lin Yuan discovered a new talent that Wen Yu had.

The villagers from the various villages could not gather together quickly. Otherwise, chaos would ensue!

Once Lin Yuan confirmed the location of this area, it would make it easier for him to gather the villagers in the area.

At that point, he could send people to govern the villages!

Lin Yuan looked at Su Yiren’s report before telling her with a smile, “Yiren, you don’t have to be humble when it comes to governing federations. You have always done better than Wen Yu in this regard.

“You and Luo Lan also have a perfect partnership when it comes to managing federations. That is an advantage that the two of you have. I believe that you will continue to shine and grow this advantage!

“You don’t have to worry about what Wen Yu thinks. She’s not the intolerable type. It’s actually the opposite because she’s the one who suggested that you come up with this report.

“If you need any resources, just let me know! I will tell Wen Yu and Listen to deliver the resources to you immediately so they will be of use and take effect as soon as possible.”

From what Lin Yuan said, Su Yiren could sense the admiration, trust, and acknowledgment that he felt toward her.

Apart from her happiness, Su Yiren also felt the heavy weight of pressure.

The Sky Beyond the Clouds was a new environment that Su Yiren was unfamiliar with.

Sky City’s exploration of the Sky Beyond the Clouds had only just begun.

Su Yiren was worried she would make a mistake that would harm Lin Yuan’s future endeavors.

But since Lin Yuan had given her this task, she would do her best to accomplish this task.

In spite of her humility, Su Yiren knew how capable she was when it came to management.

Su Yiren was not the type to fear a challenge. The more challenging the task, the more motivated she would be to accomplish it.

Luo Lan had been longing to prove herself.

When she heard the important task that Lin Yuan had just given the two of them, Su Yiren could only imagine how happy Luo Lan would be.

Normally, she could tell Listen about any resources she needed, and he would tell Wen Yu about it so she could make a decision. Once Wen Yu gave her approval, Listen would dispense the resources immediately.

For a faction, this was an extremely quick process of obtaining resources.

Now, Lin Yuan told her to let him know if she needed any resources. This was proof of how important the task was to him.

Although Lin Yuan had said that, Su Yiren would not bother him over such a trivial matter.

Listen and Wen Yu got along swimmingly with Su Yiren and Luo Lan. She trusted that they would not shortchange her when it came to resources.

Still, if such problems truly arose, she could just tell Lin Yuan about it.

“Young Master, since you’ve assigned this task to Luo Lan and me, we will definitely do our best to manage the many villages to the best of our abilities!

“At first, managing these villages will require numerous resources to set up the base. I will ask Listen directly for the resources! If we encounter issues that we can’t come to an agreement on, I will have to bother you for an intervention!”

Su Yiren really liked interacting with Lin Yuan.

After all the time she had spent by Lin Yuan’s side, Su Yiren knew he was the busiest member of Sky City.

Wen Yu only called the shots when it came to small matters. She always sought Lin Yuan’s opinion about serious matters.

Lin Yuan also ensured that he had a handle on all of Sky City’s affairs, big or small. Even if a member of the reserve sequence met with an injustice, he would ask about it and handle the issue.

Lin Yuan’s power was not the only reason he was able to gain the respect of all of Sky City’s members. It was also because of his character and approach to handling matters.

As Su Yiren left Lin Yuan’s room and before he had the chance to relax, Winter walked in.

When no one else was around, Winter still preferred to address Lin Yuan as ‘Lord Saint’.

“Lord Saint, Fan Lou is already on his way to the Lonely River. He is on a mission for the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves and will only be able to meet with you in two days!”
