Chapter 2816 Changes to the Sixth Boundary Patrol Team!
Chef Supreme crossed his arms in front of him and looked at Lin Yuan with a tangle of emotions in his gaze.
Chef Supreme never denied Lin Yuan"s abilities and talent.
This outstanding individual was about to leave their world and begin venturing into a wider world.
His youngest disciple, Zong Ze, whom he viewed as his grandson, would also be leaving with Lin Yuan.
Because of Li Changlin, Chef Supreme had learned about Lin Yuan"s existence sooner than the Moon Empress had.
Chef Supreme saw Lin Yuan as a junior.
However, as Lin Yuan grew, even Chef Supreme, who held the highest position in the Radiance Federation, came to be filled with respect for Lin Yuan.
Standing next to Chef Supreme was the Bamboo Monarch, who was holding w.a.n.g f.u.xiang"s hand.
The Bamboo Monarch and w.a.n.g f.u.xiang"s love finally bloomed because of the flower pollen that Lin Yuan had given the Bamboo Monarch. The Moon Empress might have delivered the flower pollen to him, but it had come from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was essentially the Bamboo Monarch"s savior. Without Lin Yuan, the Bamboo Monarch would have already been killed by the curse.
The Bamboo Monarch was grateful to Lin Yuan for saving his life. However, w.a.n.g f.u.xiang"s grat.i.tude exceeded the Bamboo Monarch"s. After all, Lin Yuan had helped the pure-hearted w.a.n.g f.u.xiang safeguard her love.
Cicada Song, Iron Prison, Ji Changdeng, and the other members of royalty were standing in an orderly manner.
At first, Night Leaning Moon had told the Moon Empress she would not send her off. But now that all the others were there, Night Leaning Moon could not hold back.
Night Leaning Moon could not bear to see the Moon Empress leave, but the same went for Liu Jie.
Night Leaning Moon had an insipid personality. Once she let someone into her heart, they would remain there forever.
Night Leaning Moon would miss Liu Jie but would not worry about him. Being by Lin Yuan"s side, he would be able to develop much better than if he stayed with her.
Night Leaning Moon could clearly sense that Liu Jie had grown in the past few years. She had taught him everything that she could, while Cold Moon had also imparted significant teachings to him.
Now that Liu Jie was stronger than Night Leaning Moon, she felt a great sense of accomplishment as a Master.
Night Leaning Moon had no idea the Moon Empress had already felt this sense of accomplishment long ago, and that her feelings had been much stronger.
Ji Changdeng had his two disciples, An He and Liu Yifan, next to him. Ji Changdeng"s gaze fell on the Moon Empress, and he let out a sigh full of romantic adoration.
However, Ji Changdeng could not tear his eyes away from the Moon Empress.
An He and Lin Yuan were friends, and close ones at that.
Lin Yuan had told An He about his intention to head to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, but the latter had chosen to remain in the main world.
An He had made the same decision as Gao Feng and Xia Qing, but their reasons were vastly different.
Xia Qing wanted to carry on her parents and grandfather"s legacy and become the Radiance Federation"s protector. It was a n.o.ble undertaking. She had been working hard toward this goal for many years.
Gao Feng had found the love of his life and wanted to sheathe his sword and settle down with his family. The Gao family needed him, a disciple of a member of royalty, to lead them toward glory.
As for An He… It was due to pure laziness.
The conflict between the Radiance and Freedom Federations" younger generation had awakened An He"s fighting spirit. But now that the conflict was over, his fighting spirit had also been fully quenched.
This frustrated Lin Yuan, but he still respected An He"s decision. Frankly, An He"s Senior Brother badly wanted to go to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Alas, there were no deep ties between Lin Yuan and Liu Yifan. Hence, he could not make such a request.
In truth, Liu Yifan longed to head to a wider world to develop himself.
Every Radiance Envoy had the heart of an expert.
This send-off had been initiated by Xia Qing. She felt that if Lin Yuan, the hero of the main world, was going to leave, he had to be sent off in style.
Otherwise, people like Tian Ningning, who had only had shallow ties to Lin Yuan, would not be present.
After a moment of stupefaction, Lin Yuan hurriedly smiled and waved.
He was taken aback to see so many people here to send him off. It filled his heart with warmth. He was sure he would never forget this scene.
"What are you saying? It"s just that this departure is rushed, and I don"t want to waste your time!"
The Moon Empress" lips curled gently, and she quipped, "This is just how Little Yuan is. He knows that all of you are busy and doesn"t want to disturb you."
Chef Supreme chuckled. "Moon Empress, Little Yuan is afraid of disturbing us, but are you? You are going to a wider world to grow and develop, not to endure suffering. As much as we"ll miss you, we"re more than happy for you! We hope that your journeys of development will go well!"
Chef Supreme took out a spatial instrument, approached Lin Yuan, and placed it in his hands.
"This is filled with excellent ingredients from our world. When you get to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, you will probably come to miss these ingredients. This should be enough to last you for a long time!"
Once Chef Supreme handed over his gift, the Bamboo Monarch and the rest also held out their goodbye gifts.
All of them had grown using the resources that Lin Yuan had supplied.
The presents they had prepared for Lin Yuan were not that of seniors to their juniors. Rather, it was a genuine gesture of their feelings toward him.
This send-off did not take long. The Kill Food Sky b.u.t.terfly proceeded to carry the people leaving this world away from the Radiance Federation.
The teary-eyed Li Changlin and Zhang Yingying wanted to chase after the Kill Food Sky b.u.t.terfly, but Chef Supreme stopped them.
"Changlin, regardless of distance, separation is inevitable. You know this. Rather than going as far as you can to send them off, why not stop here? Can"t you see that Little Yuan and Chu Ci can"t bear to leave you behind either?"
Lin Yuan was filled with bitterness. However, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were delighted to be heading to the Sky Beyond the Clouds.
They felt that Lin Yuan had dallied in the main world for too long. If he had spent his time in the Sky Beyond the Clouds instead, he would have been able to gain more rewards!
…
While the Kill Food Sky b.u.t.terfly flapped its wings, the Snow-Covered Foxes in the North Universe were experiencing problems. This was due to a female fox.
This female fox had a captivating appearance and had even been a member of the Honor Absent Parliament when she lived in the East Universe.
However, this was not enough to cause waves among the Snow-Covered Foxes, a species ranked in the top ten of the Species Ranking.
The issue stemmed from two of the Snow-Covered Fox leaders inexplicably fighting over this Alluring Fox. The fighting led the Alluring Fox to declare she would pick the victor.
There was no question that this matter was bizarre.
The Snow-Covered Foxes" dependent species were all aware of the leaders" authority. They never cared about whether the dependent species lived or died!
There were many dependent species who became curious about this female fox. It was said she was the leader of a fox species.
The intelligent dependent species all began racking their brains to come up with a way to form a bond with this species.
If this female fox married one of the Snow-Covered Fox leaders, her species would receive that leader"s protection and gain incomparable power within the Snow-Covered Foxes.
While the dependent species were all envious of Kong Huan"s luck, she had yet to come back to her senses after escaping death!
It was true that the two Snow-Covered Fox leaders were fighting because of her. However, it was not due to their love for her.
She was nothing more than a cover. The real reason was that the two of them had been nursing a grudge against each other for a long time.
However, the Snow-Covered Fox elites were forbidden from fighting with each other as it diminished the species" overall strength. Hence, every fight needed to be disguised under a seemingly legitimate reason.
Only a faction that had witnessed the true power of the top ten ranks of the Species Ranking could properly perceive such a powerful species.
Kong Huan"s Alluring Soul bloodline could seduce a Snow-Covered Fox envoy, but it was a far cry from being able to seduce one of the Snow-Covered Fox leaders.
Perhaps only the pinnacle Alluring Soul bloodline or the level above it could earn the affection of such a top expert.
This event struck true terror into Kong Huan.
The Alluring Foxes had almost been eliminated.
During crucial times, Kong Huan frequently thought about injecting energy into the jade. However, she held herself back each time.
Firstly, Winter had given her the jade so she could send reports and relay information.
Although he had said she could also inject energy into the jade when she was in trouble, Kong Huan did not believe that Winter could take on the entire Snow-Covered Fox species.
Moreover, if she asked Lin Yuan for support without achieving any accomplishments, he would definitely question her abilities.
In this world, it was unlikely there was anyone else who could help her to evolve her Alluring Fox bloodline.
Moreover, Lin Yuan possessed an Alluring Fox bloodline that was stronger than her own.
Thus, Kong Huan could not help but feel extremely reliant on Lin Yuan.
She had caught the eyes of the leaders because of her bloodline"s ability to captivate foxes.
She was nothing more than a toy.
Toys did not deserve to have any pride.
However, she had managed to endure this event.
She had no idea how genuine the feelings of this leader who fought for her were. However, at the very least, he was willing to invest effort into her.
This meant that the Alluring Foxes would not be in danger for now. This was enough.
If Lin Yuan did not contact her even after a few years had pa.s.sed, Kong Huan would inject energy into that jade to contact him.
Lin Yuan had told her to gain a stable position in the North Universe, and she had achieved this. She had earned the favor of one of the Snow-Covered Fox leaders and managed to become the most outstanding figure among the dependent species.
This outstanding result was sufficient for her to report to Lin Yuan.
The past few years had been extremely difficult for Kong Huan. Nothing had gone well since arriving in the North Universe.
…
Meanwhile, Fan Lou had received significant resources and spent the past few years basking in happiness.
Although he still did not have much of a presence among the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, he was able to address the leader of the Light Wind Wolves as "Brother"!
This was not because the Light Wind Wolf leader held Fan Lou in high regard.
In actuality, none of the Light Wind Wolves acknowledged his bloodline.
Fan Lou had a lowly and impure bloodline. He only managed to gain a hint of the Light Wind Wolf bloodline from consuming a fruit that contained the bloodline. His bloodline only improved after consuming a drop of the Chaos Wind Demon and Light Wind Wolves" essence blood. It was only with this that his bloodline was finally elevated to a pa.s.sable level.
Aside from Fan Lou"s bloodline, the Light Wind Wolves also looked down on him because of his character.
Ever since Feng Qing began keeping Fan Lou by his side as his a.s.sistant, Fan Lou had become extremely full of himself.
There were times when he arrived at the Light Wind Wolves" meetings later than the Elders. This was disrespect of the highest form.
It would be fine if Fan Lou had a pure Light Wind Wolf bloodline. The crux was that Fan Lou"s bloodline was impure and had inserted himself into the family.
However, no one dared to reproach Fan Lou openly on account of his relations.h.i.+p with Feng Qing. To top it off, Fan Lou often brazenly brought up his relations.h.i.+p with Feng Qing. Hence, the others had no choice but to extend courtesies toward him. It was as though someone had poured out a bucket of swill on the door of their house, yet they had no choice but to praise him.
It was true that Fan Lou"s hubris had ballooned, but he knew how to keep it in check.
Fan Lou knew what needed to be done and ensured to do everything he could to earn Feng Qing"s favor.
Fan Lou, who had suppressed the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves, had become Feng Qing"s most trusted aide.
Feng Xuan had b.u.t.ted heads with Fan Lou in the past, and Feng Qing had punished them.
Ever since then, Feng Xuan had no choice but to be courteous toward Fan Lou.
Fan Lou did his best to curry favor with Feng Qing but did not see him as his true master. The only master he acknowledged was Lin Yuan.
Fan Lou had personally experienced the power of Lin Yuan"s subordinates and knew how much they respected him.
The experts under Lin Yuan were all far stronger than Feng Qing!
On the one hand, Fan Lou curried favor with Feng Qing because it was part of the task that Lin Yuan had given him. It helped to make sure that he could hold onto his position as the captain of a Boundary Patrol Team.
On the other hand, Fan Lou wanted to use Feng Qing to raise his standard of living. One needed to take responsibility for creating the kind of blissful life one wanted.
Fan Lou paid close attention to the happenings in the Cla.s.s 2 world where Lin Yuan lived.
Fan Lou found out that every once in a while, a fey from Lin Yuan"s world would reach World Emperor/Divine Kingdom.
Evolving a fey in a Cla.s.s 2 world where World Emperor/Divine Kingdom feys should not exist in the first place demanded unimaginable resources. Fan Lou refrained from making any estimates regarding the quant.i.ty.
Fan Lou looked forward to being contacted by Lin Yuan and receiving a new task.
While Fan Lou was imagining a better life for himself, he saw his communication crystal light up. The message was coming from a member of the Sixth Boundary Patrol Team.
"Captain, Honor Absent Palace has sent people to investigate the Boundary Patrol Teams. They have arrived at the Sixth Boundary Patrol Team"s headquarters!
"Didn"t you say that you were busy today? Xi Fan is already leading the people from Honor Absent Palace in proceeding with the investigation. I"m sending a message to you to check if you"re able to return before Honor Absent Palace"s people leave!
"I heard that many captains of Boundary Patrol Teams have bought meals for these people from Honor Absent Palace. All of them have impressive backgrounds, but I haven"t been able to find out much about them."
