Chapter 761: Long Tao’s Sixth Sense, Black and Lin Yuan!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lan Qin was very interested in the feys that the Li family nurtured, especially when they were the rare mandarin duck-species feys.
Since the Li family was planning to release three types of mandarin duck-species avian-type feys, it seemed that they were planning on changing the current avian-type feys that were being used as modes of transport in the Radiance Federation. They wanted to push for a couples-style of avian-type feys!
However, Lan Qin still had serious business to attend to.
Lan Qin was definitely much better closer to Li Xuan than she was to Lin Yuan.
She had been working with Dark Clouds Bird Shrine for decades and had basically watched Li Xuan grow up.
She felt that he was a good boy with an upstanding character. However, besides his character, his temper still left something to be desired.
Li Xuan always prioritized the Li family name. He was straightforward and stubborn, which caused him to offend others easily.
If Lin Yuan told Li Xuan that he wanted something that the Li family had already claimed and Li Xuan did not notice Lin Yuan’s status or chose to disregard it, the outcome would be disastrous.
Lan Qin did not know Lin Yuan well, but she did know the Moon Empress. If Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress shared the same personality and temperament, any wrong move on Li Xuan’s part would result in him being punished.
Thus, Lan Qin hastily said to Li Xuan, “Little Xuan, this Lord requires one of the source-type lifeforms inside this batch of specimens. The Source Seed has to be taken out now.”
Li Xuan immediately knitted his brow.
However, he did not immediately voice his objection because he heard Lan Qin address the person as ‘Lord’.
He carefully scanned Lin Yuan, and his eyes widened shortly after.
Li Xuan was not shocked to see the Creation Master crest on his chest, but rather that Long Tao had walked up to Lin Yuan and reached out his hand to him.
Li Xuan and Long Tao had grown up together and knew each other well.
This was how Li Xuan knew about Long Tao’s arrogance.
Long Tao was Sequence #3 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence, as well as the Eldest Young Master in Ascending Dragon City. He was also the only direct descendant of the elite faction Coiling Dragon’s Valley.
He had been born with a golden spoon and looked down on everyone.
When he made friends, he did not bother with their status but rather if he could get along with them.
Given that he had just taken the initiative to reach out his hand to the young man next to Lan Qin, it meant that he genuinely regarded this young man as one of his friends.
What Li Xuan did not know was that Long Tao’s action stumped Lin Yuan.
When Long Tao had gone with Lin Yuan to Radiance Moon Mountain, Long Tao had seen how Mystic Moon and Cold Moon were treating Lin Yuan and knew that he had gone for nothing.
Long Tao knew that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress’ disciple.
If Lin Yuan had not replenished Long Tao’s spirit qi after the battle, Long Tao might have fallen and humiliated himself after his victory at the Radiant Moon Palace.
Long Tao held Lin Yuan in high regard.
Nonetheless, Long Tao would only greet Lin Yuan. He would never display friendliness and reach out his hand.
However, when he saw Lin Yuan, Long Tao felt that this young man had an extremely familiar gaze.
Long Tao felt that this person was the young man wearing a silver mask.
Lin Yuan instinctively took Long Tao’s outstretched hand.
From its grip strength to feel, this handshake made Long Tao all the more certain that this was Black.
This was just a gut feeling that Long Tao could not explain.
Long Tao released his hand, looked into Lin Yuan’s eyes, and said, “It’s been some time since we parted at Leaning Moon Mountain.”
Long Tao paused for a moment before continuing. “I guess it hasn’t been that long because I saw you at the Allstar Match as well. I was going to treat you to a meal after the Allstar Match, but you left early. I wanted to buy you a meal to thank you for replenis.h.i.+ng my spiritual power on Leaning Moon Mountain.”
Lin Yuan shot Long Tao a bright smile and replied, “There will be plenty of chances to have a meal together in the future.”
The sound of Lin Yuan’s voice made Long Tao’s gaze become more suspicious.
It was easy for a person to hide their appearance and age with a mask, but they were unable to hide their voice.
Lin Yuan’s voice resembled that of Black’s too closely. In fact, they were identical.
“There’s no better day than the present. It’s almost 5:00 p.m. now. How about we have dinner together and catch up?”
Lin Yuan nodded and said, “Sure. However, I almost never eat out when I’m in the Royal Capital. Brother, you’ll have to pick a place, and I’ll treat you.”
Long Tao’s furrowed brow of suspicion relaxed, and he cheerily answered, “Okay. How about we go to the House of Enviable Fragrance? I heard that you know the owner. It’s another buffet restaurant opened by s.h.i.+ Xu.”
Lin Yuan’s addressing of Long Tao as ‘brother’ was effective. Whether Lin Yuan was Black or not, his att.i.tude was enough for Long Tao to be sure that Lin Yuan sincerely wanted to become friends.
Both of them were fine with paying for the meal as a gesture. Even if either of them had a large appet.i.te, the cost of one meal would be peanuts to both of them.
While they spoke, Long Tao never broke his gaze with Lin Yuan. He noticed the confusion that flashed across Lin Yuan’s eyes and could not help but be slightly dumbfounded.
Long Tao had decided to mention s.h.i.+ Xu to see if a look of recognition would cross Lin Yuan’s eyes.
Now that Lin Yuan was looking at him with clear curiosity, Long Tao a.s.sumed that he had been overthinking.
However, he did not know that Lin Yuan’s confusion was not because of s.h.i.+ Xu. Instead, Lin Yuan was wondering if the House of Enviable Fragrance that Long Tao had mentioned was the one where Zhang Xiaobai had bought roasted meat in bulk.
It was no wonder that Lin Yuan was curious because the name ‘House of Enviable Fragrance’ had entered his ears too often recently.
Li Xuan heard Long Tao and Lin Yuan mention Leaning Moon Mountain and thought about how Lan Qin called Lin Yuan ‘Lord’.
Even if he had not seen the Creation Master crest on Lin Yuan’s chest, Li Xuan would have acknowledged Lin Yuan’s status by now.
The elite faction community was abuzz with the news that the Moon Empress had accepted a disciple, but who this disciple was had been a mystery.
Now, it appeared that the Moon Empress’ disciple was this person standing before him.
