Chapter 579: The Involved Colossus
Lin Yuan didn’t really mind this letter and message slip. He wasn’t interested to know who wrote the message either.
It didn’t matter if the owner of this message was an enemy or friend, the Zheng family was definitely the enemy.
Furthermore, the owner of this message slip wouldn’t send him this information without a reason. If there were any motives, they would certainly look for him again.
Lin Yuan was going to respond without action.
The Zheng family’s third lineage might have made a move on Listen, but Lin Yuan wasn’t going to put the blame on the Zheng main family because of the relations.h.i.+p between the Zheng main family and the third lineage.
However, the Zheng main family’s Second Young Master had already sent an emperor-cla.s.s expert to make a move on him. It meant that Lin Yuan had finally fixed a grudge with the Zheng main family.
Lin Yuan wouldn’t have any hesitation when dealing with the enemy who wanted to kill him and his faction.
Furthermore, Lin Yuan still had the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen waiting for him to feed her with the willpower inside the Willpower Runes and the law inside the Law Runes.
Lin Yuan asked Wen Yu, “How much do you know about Zheng Kaiyuan?”
Wen Yu thought for a moment and said, “Zheng Kaiyuan is considered a rather special individual in the Zheng family. Zheng Kaiyuan’s Master is the pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master, Miao Qi.
“Even though the pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master Miao Qi doesn’t only have one disciple, Miao Qi views Zheng Kaiyuan with abnormal importance.
“At the same time, Zheng Kaiyuan’s mother, Miao Zhi, is also a core member of the elite faction, Miao family. Back then, because Miao Zhi married to the Zheng family’s current family head, it allowed the Zheng family to rise up from one of the weaker families to stand at the top of Indigo Azure City’s three major families.
“The pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master Miao Qi is the blood sister to Zheng Kaiyuan’s mother. Zheng Kaiyuan can address Miao Qi as Master and also his aunt.”
After the information Wen Yu provided, Lin Yuan lightly tapped his finger on the water rhinoceros leather sofa.
The Zheng family was actually involved with an elite faction.
When speaking about elite factions, they were factions that were significantly higher in level than the veteran factions.
They were considered the true colossus, just like the Gao family where Gao Feng was from. After developing their faction using the deep-sea resources, they had finally gained recognition from the other elite factions in the recent few years and had been promoted from a veteran faction to an elite faction.
The Miao family had been an elite faction for close to 30 years, and their foundation was obviously deeper than the Gao family.
The Zheng family’s Second Young Master, Zheng Kaiyuan, actually had the backing of the Miao family. As compared to the other descendants from veteran factions, he was truly worthy of being called n.o.ble.
“I remember the Zheng main family has three direct descendants. Since Zheng Kaiyuan is considered special, then what about the other two?”
When Wen Yu heard Lin Yuan’s question, her eyes lit up as she suddenly recalled the information she had read on the Zheng family’s main members in the Hidden Moon Pavilion after the accident happened to Lin Yuan.
“The Zheng family’s Eldest Young Master is the previous Zheng family head’s child. The previous Zheng family head is also the current Zheng family head’s elder brother. He has great combat talent and is greatly valued by the Zheng family’s old lord.
“As for the Third Young Master, he is the child of the current Zheng family head, but his mother isn’t Miao Zhi. As for the ident.i.ty of the mother, it isn’t recorded as it is considered trivial information.
“It is said that the Third Young Master’s mother died after giving birth to the Third Young Master. As for the Third Young Master, he isn’t crippled by birth, but it is unknown why he has been sickly and sitting in a wheelchair all the time.
“Young Master, do you think the Zheng family’s Third Young Master sent the message?” After speaking, Wen Yu stuck out her tongue awkwardly and felt that her judgment was truly too subjective. How could she speculate based on written information?
Lin Yuan listened to the introduction of the three direct descendants of the Zheng family and silently clicked his tongue.
The relations.h.i.+p between the members of such prestigious families was truly complicated.
The reason Lin Yuan poured in so many precious and luxurious resources to Listen was that he planned to make a move on the Zheng family from a business method.
The Zheng family was a veteran faction whose business method was to use luxurious resources.
Lin Yuan might not be managing the daily operations of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, however, he had already set down its business direction together with Listen.
As the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was getting developed, they were also going to be like burrowing insects. By using the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce as a medium, they would slowly penetrate into the Zheng family’s business empire.
As for the elite faction, the Miao family, Lin Yuan already had his plans.
In order for Sky City to develop, they would definitely have to offend veteran factions and elite factions during the process.
The Zheng family wouldn’t be the first veteran faction they offended. If the Miao family made a move on them, then the Miao family wouldn’t be the first elite faction either. No matter what, an act of revenge that should be taken shouldn’t be forgotten.
“Wen Yu, when you have time, help me check on an emperor-cla.s.s expert called Duan He.”
Wen Yu was seriously noting down Lin Yuan’s request.
After finis.h.i.+ng the serious discussion, Lin Yuan realized that Chu Ci had already fallen asleep on the sofa.
With proficiency since young, Lin Yuan carried Chu Ci and carried her into her room inside the mansion. He then placed her on the bed, took off her slippers, and gently pulled over the blanket for her.
Just as Lin Yuan was preparing to exit, he suddenly remembered that Chu Ci had the habit of waking up in the middle of the night and was afraid of the dark.
Lin Yuan then took a Five Fortune Ranchu out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone and placed it in a porcelain bowl before putting it on the bedside table.
The bedside had a decorative Black Back Mountain Boar, which was made of completely jade-textured wood. When it made contact with the spirit qi released from the Five Fortune Ranchu, it started to glow.
With the jade-like l.u.s.ter’s illumination, Chu Ci was sleeping soundly and even had a blissful smile.
After carrying Chu Ci back to her room, Lin Yuan started to work overtime.
The Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer had also returned to their rooms to diligently increase their strength.
Liu Jie went to the training room to familiarize herself with the transformed Insect Queen through live combat.
Lin Yuan logged into the Star Web and started searching in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion to set up and decorate the private territory.
Lin Yuan was very clear with what he wanted to search in the Rare Lifeform Pavilion, he immediately searched for the Starlight Gra.s.s and Floating Cloud Flower.
These were considered expensive plant-type feys. They might not have any functional use, but their prices were high based on their aesthetics.
Lin Yuan did his best to pick those Floating Cloud Flower and Starlight Gra.s.s that were of higher quality. Finally, he bought 36 Bronze/Elite Floating Cloud Flowers and 108 Bronze/Elite Starlight Gra.s.s.
There weren’t any Bronze/Flawless Floating Cloud Flowers or Starlight Gra.s.s.
However, Lin Yuan felt that it would be truly a loss to purchase Bronze/Flawless Floating Cloud Flowers or Starlight Gra.s.s. Just the mere difference in one grade of quality was enough to flip the price by at least 20 times.
Of course, Lin Yuan had picked the best out of the Elite quality Floating Cloud Flowers and Starlight Gra.s.s.
After selection, Lin Yuan didn’t pick any that was lower than Bronze VII.
