Fey Evolution Merchant

1726 Are You Worthy?

Liu Jie had put his life on the line for Lin Yuan once.

It happened when the both of them had been sucked into the evolving Class 3 water world dimensional rift and were faced with a powerful enemy.

Although this time it was a group battle with five members, Liu Jie’s feelings were the same as then.

Now that Liu Jie was more powerful, he could also perform better than he did last time.

If Lin Yuan was at risk of receiving an attack, Liu Jie hoped that he would be able to use his body to defend Lin Yuan and that the attack would not go through him and end up harming Lin Yuan in any way.

Since Qian Yu had vetoed the second request, the first and third requests meant that the use of precious instruments was forbidden, and one person from each team could be chosen as the one that the other team could not direct their attacks at.

“Since we’ve already made our requests and you’ve used your veto, each team is given half an hour to prepare as per the rules of the Major Federation Meeting. After the half hour is over, each team will be transported to a random spot,” said Liu Yifan.

After he spoke, Liu Yifan led his team to a nearby structure.

This structure was where the teams were supposed to have their meeting before the fight started.

The Spacetime Elder took out two pieces of what looked like shattered shell fragments and handed them to the attendant behind him.

This attendant brought the fragments of the Ethereal Spatial Mother Shellfish’s shell with the set destinations over to Qian Yu and said, “These two shell fragments will send you to a designated destination. They will send you to a designated spot in the battleground. For fairness, the Freedom Federation can pick first.”

Qian Yu casually picked one of the shell fragments.

The Radiance Federation would not pull any tricks when it came to such things.

Moreover, geography only mattered in individual battles.

Every participant’s fey and sacred source lifeform was different in group battles. Thus, they had very different advantageous geography.

A geographical setting that was advantageous for one team member might not also apply to another team member.

After Qian Yu picked one of the shell fragments, he delivered the other one to Lin Yuan’s team in the meeting room.

Qian Yu did not immediately lead his team over to the meeting room.

Cai Huo wanted Qian Yu to make that promise because he had decided to go for broke.

But before that, he needed to have the confidence that his teammates would have his back.

What Qian Yu had said was correct.

You Changjian, Yan Ling, and Cai Huo did not have powerful support behind them, unlike Qian Yu and Lu Ou, who had members of royalty that would swoop in to save them if they were in any trouble.

Although Cai Huo had not meant any ill intent, Qian Yu had scathingly rebuked him.

Qian Yu had no intention of providing Cai Huo, Yan Ling, and You Changjian with a safety net.

Although Yan Ling respected Qian Yu, she now looked at Qian Yu in a different light.

What Qian Yu had said about not owing them any assurance struck her especially hard.

His words might have been targeted at Qian Yu, but they also involved You Changjian and You Changjian.

Yan Ling said with a low tone, “I am favored by three members of royalty. No other expert has the favor of more members of royalty than me. Lord Freedom Envoy, I think you should assure us before we go out there and risk our lives.

“Even if I don’t link my sacred source lifeform with Cai Huo and You Changjian’s sacred source lifeforms, my main fey is powerful enough to have a place among the top ten feys possessed by the Freedom Federation’s young experts. I want you to give your word.”

Yan Ling had also wanted to speak up on behalf of Cai Huo and You Changjian.

If Cai Huo had not angered Qian Yu, Yan Ling might not have said what she just said. She knew that her words would offend Qian Yu. It would do her no good to offend a current Freedom Envoy.

Yan Ling felt that this team was interesting. However, her words were always scathing, and she never held her punches.

In Cai Huo, You Changjian, and Yan Ling’s team, Yan Ling’s sacred source lifeform had the leading position because she was female and it worked best for their arrangement.

Hence, the two of them were tolerant of her, and their grievances against her had been bubbling up for some time.

Yan Ling’s words elevated herself.

She demanded Qian Yu’s word on account of her status.

However, she had excluded Cai Huo and You Changjian and placed herself above them.

As such, Cai Huo and You Changjian started looking at her with different gazes.

She would not have been able to attain her current position or gain the favor of so many members of royalty without the two of them.

Naturally, Cai Huo and You Changjian felt that they deserved credit for getting Yan Ling to where she currently was.

Yan Ling’s eyes were fixed on Qian Yu, and she had no idea that Cai Huo and You Changjian’s gazes on her had changed.

Just as she thought Qian Yu would give in, Qian Yu turned his frigid gaze onto her and spat out. “Yan Ling, you are no different from a clown in my eyes. You’re merely part of one of the middle-class branch families of the Yan family. Your original surname wasn’t even Yan. You were only allowed to change your surname because your talent was recognized.

“I am the Young Leader of the Qian family. You don’t have the right to speak to me based on your family status. Do you think you can compete with me when it comes to talent? Without Cai Huo and You Changjian, your status wouldn’t be any higher than that of Han Qi.

“No matter how many members of royalty favor you, none of them accepted you as their disciple. If Cai Huo doesn’t have the right to speak to me that way, what makes you think that you can?”

If Qian Yu were in a good mood, he might have agreed to Yan Ling’s request to preserve her pride.

Qian Yu also planned on putting his life on the line in the battle.

If he lost, he would either die or be saved by the Goddess of Mercy and lose his position as a Freedom Envoy when he returned, thereby bringing shame to the Qian family.

He still vividly remembered the consequences of his older brother shaming the Qian family.

This was the reason he had flared up when he heard what Cai Huo said.

He had just managed to suppress his rage when Yan Ling said what she had said.

As a result, Qian Yu lost control of his fury and ripped a new one into Yan Ling.
