Chapter 1377: The Skipped Astronomical Parliament
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Luo Ya had not been disturbed by Lin Yuan’s lack of contact over the last three days.
But when the fourth day came around, she started to get antsy. When the fifth and sixth days arrived, Luo Ya started to suspect that Lin Yuan had seen through her.
She scrutinized her memories of their time together.
When Fu Di had suddenly attacked, it was possible that Lin Yuan had realized they were not a normal group but a group of murderous robbers.
However, she had only joined the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps to find men, and she was not interested in stealing the resources of the Great Lush Federation’s merchant groups.
!!
Or could it be that Lin Yuan was not interested in her at all?
Liu Jie, dressed in silver armor and kneeling before Lin Yuan, had shocked Luo Ya to the core, and she could not help but wonder about Lin Yuan’s ident.i.ty.
Liu Jie had used an insect-species carcinoma fey, and it seemed to have a high grade.
To have a powerful protector at such a young age, Lin Yuan was even more imposing than the sons of Cla.s.s 3 families that Luo Ya had come across. It was clear from this that he indeed was a disciple of one of the Divine Wood Federation’s secret elite families.
A disciple from one of the Divine Wood Federation’s secret elite families was on the same level as a Young Master from a Cla.s.s 4 family in the Divine Wood Federation.
No matter how hard Luo Ya thought about it, the answer did not become clear to her, and it troubled her for days on end.
By the time the ninth day rolled around, the promiscuous Luo Ya started to reminisce about Lin Yuan’s face as she looked out the window.
As she thought about how she might never come across such a handsome young man again in her life, tears of sorrow slid down her cheeks. She did not even care when her tears made her beloved purple fur cloak wet.
She was not the only one who had cried in the past nine days.
Yin Lin, Bei Xu, Ta Lei, and Su Yiren were even sadder than her.
The four of them had been looking forward to the weekly Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.
They had excitedly entered a dream state on the seventh day and readied themselves to partic.i.p.ate in the mystical meeting.
However, it was only when they awoke that they realized they had not entered the meeting at all. Their chests contracted with anxiousness, and they forced themselves to fall asleep again.
But even when the eighth day came, they still did not receive the call of the constellations.
The entire group of people from the Azure Federation riding on the Island Whale knew that the fourth Azure Envoy was in low spirits. She had even turned Lan Xun away when he went to see her in her room.
The ten young men from the Azure Federation kept their heads low in case they incurred the wrath of the fourth Azure Envoy. All of them knew the ident.i.ty of the fourth Azure Envoy.
The princess of the Cla.s.s 4 family Spirit White Lion had awakened both the Azure Cloud Leopard and Spirit White Lion beast patterns. Her status was unimaginable to the ten young men.
The 12 aristocratic families controlled the Azure Federation. If they offended her, they could have their Azure Hundred Sequence t.i.tle stripped from them.
As she locked herself inside her room, she used the white cloth to cover her eyes for the first time since recovering her sight.
The only way she could calm herself was to touch the special book. But even when her hands turned red and started to hurt in a way that they had not hurt in a long time, she still could not find serenity.
Her attendant, Sisi, anxiously stood by her side. She could not understand what had happened to Yin Lin over the last two days. However, she knew that there was no way to coax Yin Lin out of this sudden mood change.
At that moment, Yin Lin realized how much she relied on that man who had stood at the center of the constellations, gave her sight, and transformed her life. Even though she had become the Azure Federation’s fourth Azure Envoy, only he could bring her a sense of safety and stability.
But why had he broken their weekly meeting arrangement?
The more Yin Lin thought about it, the more panicked she became.
Suddenly, she remembered the man mentioning the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce that was in the Radiance Federation.
If she could find the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, did that mean that she could find that man?
Yin Lin removed the white cloth from her eyes and walked out of her room until she reached the Island Whale’s head.
As she stared out at the calm sea, she wished that they would reach the Radiance Federation soon.
She felt a pang of worry when she remembered the clash between the Radiance Federation, the sea clans, and the Freedom Federation. Could it be that the man had not shown up at their meeting because of that clash?
There was supposed to be another meeting in five days. Would he show up then?
…
Bei Xu lived underground and had not seen the celestial phenomena that took place above ground.
However, he had grown significantly in the past week.
By using the Sharp Shadow Bat’s Bat’s Fangs Blood Seed, he had formed his own team. He decided that he would not expand the team for the time being and concentrate on increasing the team’s power instead.
After overcoming several Cla.s.s 1 subterranean dimensional rifts, he had found several source-type items for his team.
As he watched his team improve, Bei Xu felt a sense of accomplishment for the first time in his life.
He badly wanted to tell Lin Yuan about his achievement. He did not need Lin Yuan to praise him, but he hoped that he could make him happy. He wanted to prove to Lin Yuan that he had not wasted Lin Yuan’s hopes in him and that he had made himself into a useful person.
Lin Yuan had saved his life, given him a fey, and helped him to remove his stone insect curse. Bei Xu would never be able to repay Lin Yuan for these.
Bei Xu was always hardworking. When he led his team against a Cla.s.s 1 subterranean dimensional rift, it was normal for him to stay awake for three days straight.
But in order to attend the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting, Bei Xu would always sleep for the entire seventh day.
He panicked when he did not end up entering the Astronomical Parliament.
But unlike Yin Lin, he did not have the means to head to the Radiance Federation, discuss collaborations with Lin Yuan, or see him in real life. Bei Xu could not do anything other than gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth and silently endure like a helpless animal.
In the past few days, Bei Xu’s team had noticed that he was not as bright and cheerful as he used to be.
Instead, he threw himself into clearing out stone bugs and discovering new subterranean dimensional rifts. No matter how exhausted he was, or even if he ended up covered in blood, he continued to push on silently. It was clear that something was weighing on his mind.
After some time pa.s.sed, Bei Xu finally collapsed on a rock, completely spent.
Under the cover of darkness, tears brimmed in his eyes, and he rubbed his nose.
He fervently hoped that he would be able to see that man who had saved him and join the party of stars five days later.
