Chapter 1394: Welcome Banquet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Sir, the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm is my father’s fey. I have zero intention of offending you. Feys are meant to sustain pain, but I wonder if the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm’s cries disturb you? I will order it to leave immediately so it won’t bother you any longer.”

When Lin Yuan saw Zhang Tong’s pale and pleading expression, he could tell what kind of person Zhang Tong was.

Zhang Tong had shot Jian Li several pleading looks.

According to Luo Ya, Zhang Tong had come to welcome Jian Li. This meant that Zhang Tong and Jian Li were friends.

Jian Li was a member of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence and had a higher status than Zhang Tong, who came from a Class 3 Creation Master family.

Yet, when Zhang Tong tried pleading with him for help, Jian Li completely brushed him aside. Jian Li sure was cruel!

Just as Zhang Tong was about to become sure that Lin Yuan would disagree and the insect army was about to advance, Zhang Tong heard a clear voice say, “Since you mentioned that a fey is meant to sustain pain, there isn’t a point in blaming a fey for doing what it’s meant to do.”

Zhang Tong was stunned by what Lin Yuan said. He lifted his head and saw that Lin Yuan was looking straight at him.

The young man’s pure black eyes that resembled the night sky made Zhang Tong feel as though he was falling into a bottomless abyss.

Jian Li looked surprised that Lin Yuan had spared the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, and he took a step forward and said, “Zhang Tone, why aren’t you thanking him? By showing mercy on the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, he’s doing your family a favor. Why don’t you hold a banquet tonight in your family’s banquet hall to thank him?”

Jian Li’s words were structured in a way that seemed to be helping Zhang Tong. It was as though he had not helped Zhang Tong before because he had not had the time.

But in actuality, the insects that were present were making him too uncomfortable.

The two guards had summoned their feys and poised themselves to attack the black flood dragon.

The insects had been summoned because of the previous confrontation.

Jian Li was afraid that Lin Yuan would reject his attempt to show friendliness. If that happened, Jian Li would be at a loss.

The Jian family was an important aristocrat in the Divine Wood Federation, and the people of the Divine Wood Federation were open-minded.

There were over 20 direct descendants in the Jian family, and three of them had made it into the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence.

Jian Li was the youngest of all of them, but his rank in the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence was also the lowest.

Nonetheless, he had always hoped to compete with his two older brothers but had never found the opportunity to. But now, he saw Lin Yuan as that opportunity.

Although the people in an aristocratic family only surrounded themselves with their trusted aides, they were cold toward each other.

One would only be able to gain benefits and glory by continuously climbing until one reached the apex.

This principle had been hammered into Jian Li for as long as he could remember.

When Zhang Tong did not immediately respond, Jian Li kicked him and brought him back to his wits.

Zhang Tong hurriedly said, “In order to express my thanks, I would like to hold a banquet in my family’s banquet hall tonight to welcome you to Phoebe Zhennan city. We can welcome both you and Lord Jian Li together. Do you have time to attend?”

Liu Jie and Lin Yuan’s actions were intended to get Zhang Tong or Jian Li to set up a suitable societal setting.

Lin Yuan was new to the Divine Wood Federation, and Luo Ya would not be able to help him much. Hence, a banquet like this was just what he needed.

“I will stay in Phoebe Zhennan City for a day and leave tomorrow. So, I will be free tonight.”

Zhang Tong turned to say to Luo Ya and Luo De, “Little Ya, since you’re acquainted with this young man and you know the address, you can take him there.”

Luo Ya and Luo De’s breathing hitched. They never expected to be personally invited by Zhang Tong to attend such an event. This was all thanks to Lin Yuan!

Moreover, Luo De could tell from the way that Zhang Tong addressed Luo Ya that the Zhang family now regarded the Luo family as a trusted aide. From now on, the Luo family would be able to progress rapidly, just like the Huang family was.

Luo De and Luo Ya immediately and happily accepted Zhang Tong’s invitation.

Zhang Tong only rose to his feet when Luo De and Luo Ya led Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Ji Feng away from Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard and toward the Luo family.

At the moment that Zhang Tong stood up, the way he looked at Jian Li changed.

Although Zhang Tong still looked at Jian Li with the same warm gaze, they had lost all sincerity.

Zhang Tong was devastated by the way Jian Li had forsaken the Zhang family without hesitation. He now knew that the support the Zhang family received from the Jian family was only due to the benefits they were eyeing to gain. When push came to shove, they would abandon the Zhang family at any moment.

Since the young man dressed in white was going to attend the banquet at the Zhang family tonight, Zhang Tong hoped that he would be able to pull away from Jian Li and begin a collaboration with the young man instead.

The young man in white came from the Great Lush Federation and was dressed lavishly. Thus, he had to possess many resources.

As long as a large chamber of commerce set up a branch in Phoebe Zhennan City, the city’s finances would skyrocket in a short span of time.

However, this was only Zhang Tong’s dream.

Given Phoebe Zhennan City’s geographical position, it was unlikely that a chamber of commerce would set up a branch in Phoebe Zhennan City.

But if the Zhang family could start working for this young man, they might get to enjoy more benefits than if a chamber of commerce opened a branch in Phoebe Zhennan City.

Every person present had their own motives. At first, Zhang Tong had planned on personally escorting Jian Li to the Zhang family’s residence to rest.

But now, he was so disappointed in Jian Li that he gave the excuse that he had to clean up the mess at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard so the Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow would have to take the injured Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, Jian Li, and his two guards to the Zhang family’s residence instead.

After Jian Li and the two guards left, Zhang Tong let out a breath of relief and looked at the ashen-faced Huang Yu.

He furiously stomped up to Huang Yu and stood silently next to him. When everyone else left, Huang Yu gnashed his teeth and growled, “Cousin, is Luo Ya in a relationship with that person? She was calling someone the entire way here. It’s possible that she was trying to call him. I’m going home now to ask my father to personally ask Uncle Luo about this. If there’s nothing between Ah Ya and that person, I want to be engaged with her this instant—”

Before Huang Yu could finish speaking, Zhang Tong fiercely slapped him. He had put all his strength into this slap and sent the 1.8-meter-tall Huang Yu falling to the ground.
