Chapter 1348: Who are You Calling Brother?
w.a.n.g Ce would not do anything to blatantly offend a disciple of royalty. If the situation blew up, he could not expect Cicada Song to clean up the mess.
When w.a.n.g Ce saw the beautiful baby blue b.u.t.terfly land on the harbor in front of the city, he prepared to walk up to it to greet Lin Yuan. But before he could, Sky City’s City Lord had already walked over to w.a.n.g Ce and said, “I’m sorry that my actions on the island caused some trouble. Did the giant waves affect Raging Wave City in any way?”
w.a.n.g Ce was stunned, but he narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on Lin Yuan’s eyes. One glance was all it took for him to realize that Lin Yuan’s eyes were only full of honest sincerity.
This caused him to immediately change his opinion of Lin Yuan.
Previously, he had not wanted to bring this matter up with Lin Yuan because he was afraid it would displease An He.
The citizens of Raging Waves City did not know about the giant waves, and they had not caused any impact.
w.a.n.g Ce had wanted to shoulder the matter before deepening his working relations.h.i.+p with Sky City to trade for many high-quality Bronze feys with Law Source Crystals. This was his way of making up for the incident.
Yet, it turned out that there had been no point in him thinking about this.
Lin Yuan had taken responsibility for everything without a single thought of s.h.i.+rking the responsibility.
w.a.n.g Ce looked at the bright eyes behind the mask with majestic sky city patterns and could not help but feel a wave of respect rise within him. He could not help but a.s.sociate positive feelings with Sky City.
This young man was the responsible leader of a faction. Under his leaders.h.i.+p, Sky City had to also be a responsible faction.
w.a.n.g Ce changed his mind about not mentioning the matter. Since Lin Yuan had asked, w.a.n.g Ce felt that there was no reason to hide the truth from Lin Yuan. If he did, he would be doing a disservice to Lin Yuan’s gesture of responsibility.
“Brother, your actions on the island sure were violent to cause such large waves 800 leagues away. The waves rose from the sea one after another. At first, they were only about 20 meters. But eventually, the waves grew to 100 meters and above. The tallest waves reached 300 meters. Thanks to your pre-emption and the Spirit Guards who gathered to use their feys to defend against the waves, no serious losses occurred.”
w.a.n.g Ce chuckled before continuing. “Brother, come have a seat at my place. I’ll brew you another cup of Sea Valley Tea. We can have a good chat.”
Liu Jie went straight to the team of Spirit Guards when he jumped down from the Kill Food Sky b.u.t.terfly’s back.
When the two Guard Envoys saw Liu Jie, they hurriedly rushed up to greet him, but Liu Jie stopped them. The Guard Envoys immediately realized that Liu Jie did not want to expose his ident.i.ty and discreetly nodded at him before returning to the team.
When the two Guard Envoys heard what w.a.n.g Ce said to Lin Yuan, they exclaimed internally, Brother? Who are you calling brother? You’re calling the Moon Empress’ disciple your brother? w.a.n.g Ce, after so many years, why didn’t I realize how fearless you are!?
The two Guard Envoys looked at w.a.n.g Ce with strange gazes.
They had been sent to Raging Waves City to carry out missions for years and knew w.a.n.g Ce well by now. They both knew that w.a.n.g Ce was miserly to the point of stinginess.
As the Captain of a city’s guards, w.a.n.g Ce held a high rank in Raging Waves City. Yet, his only hobby was to drink Raging Waves City’s specialty Sea Valley Tea.
Neither of the Guard Envoys knew what was so delicious about the Sea Valley Tea, which tasted no different from seaweed soup.
w.a.n.g Ce’s frugal personality was why the resources Raging Waves City supplied to the Raging Waves Guard were only spent on essentials.
Part of the Raging Waves Guard was stronger than other seaside cities was that Raging Waves City was a trading city. Another reason was w.a.n.g Ce’s naturally economical personality.
w.a.n.g Ce addressed Lin Yuan as ‘brother’ despite not knowing that he was the Moon Empress’ disciple. He even invited Lin Yuan back to his house to drink Sea Valley Tea. This meant that w.a.n.g Ce regarded Lin Yuan as a close acquaintance.
When only Lin Yuan’s ident.i.ty as Sky City’s City Lord was considered, it shocked the entire Star Web that a new faction like Sky City’s martial power had already climbed higher than Connected Beast Park.
Many Star Web reporters in the Radiance Federation were already equating Sky City to the Cage of Brahma Insects, Rhine Lifeform, and Whale Ocean Commerce.
Regarding Creation Master resources, Sky City could produce a Bronze/Epic fey daily. This rate indicated that Sky City had at least two Cla.s.s 4 Creation Masters.
Many factions were trying to b.u.t.ter up Sky City now. However, w.a.n.g Ce did not need to at all as the Raging Waves Guard Captain was under Cicada Song’s jurisdiction just like the City Lord was.
Even if it was to protect An He’s pride, w.a.n.g Ce only needed to stay out of Lin Yuan’s way. He did not need to bootlick Lin Yuan at all.
Did Sky City and w.a.n.g Ce have an ongoing deal? If so, the two Guard Envoys wanted to congratulate him as this meant that he had formed a connection with the Moon Empress’ disciple.
Raging Waves City only needed to provide resources, and they would never have to worry about high-quality Bronze feys anymore.
The captain of a city’s guard had the authority to utilize the city’s wealth. Moreover, a Cla.s.s 6 abyss dimensional rift had opened, and the members of royalty planned on allowing the major cities to build representative cities in the abyssal world to construct a third version of the Radiance Federation.

Once this plan was put into action, all the 32 cities would face a shortage of Creation Master resources and a lack of feys.
Now that w.a.n.g Ce had formed a relations.h.i.+p with Lin Yuan before this happened, it put Raging Waves City a step ahead of the other cities.
He was so lucky that the other Guard Captains should be envious of him!
From what w.a.n.g Ce said, Lin Yuan confirmed that Raging Waves City had not been damaged by his actions.
Lin Yuan had not rested ever since he returned from the Divine Wood Federation, and he still had many matters to attend to.
When he returned to the Royal Capital, he not only had to use his ident.i.ty as the Moon Empress’ disciple to interfere in the blood pact ultimate fight between Sky City and Connected Beast Park. He also needed to wait for Sun Ningxiang to bring her grandmother to the mansion.
Now that Lin Yuan had s.h.i.+ny, it needed dragon liver, phoenix blood, and pure wind elements to nurture it.

Lin Yuan had the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls produced by the Celestine Elemental Sh.e.l.lfish for the pure wind elements.
However, he was still at a loss with regards to the dragon liver and phoenix blood. Hence, he decided to call Long Tao and Li Xuan when he returned to ask them about this issue.
