Chapter 595: I Think I’ll Be Chosen!

Zheng Jiangliu thought to himself, Only Jiao Hanzhong and I know about the Sea Burial Lotus Flower that was found in Indigo Azure City’s coastal sea. Jiao Hanzhong had taken care of everyone else who knew. Not even Zheng Wenbo is sure of the details. Since Jiao Hanzhong died, I’m the only one left who knows. Now that the Sea Burial Lotus Flower is dead, I have to keep this information to myself if it’s the last thing I do. If Second Young Master finds out about the Sea Burial Lotus Flower, he’ll punish the third lineage for sure.

Jiao Hanzhong had been the strongest person in the Zheng family’s third lineage.

Jiao Hanzhong was dead. Hence, the third lineage had now become the weakest link in the four lineages, which initially stood side by side.

Zheng Jiangliu needed to find a reliable source of support for the third lineage, even if the new source of support was greedier than a fearsome tiger!

Zheng Kaiyuan glanced at Zheng Jiangliu.

“Since the third lineage wants to side with me, they better focus on developing the coastal sea. Other matters are unimportant. I want 90% of the profits.”

Zheng Jiangliu almost cracked his teeth with the force that he was grinding them together.

An evil smile appeared on Zheng Kaiyuan’s cold face. He looked askance at Zheng Jiangliu and said lightly, “What’s wrong, Third Uncle? Do you disagree with me?”

Zheng Jiangliu’s tightly gritted teeth trembled. The tremors were so strong that he tasted blood.

He yanked Zheng Wenbo, who was behind him and knelt on the floor.

“Your ideas are always the best, Second Young Master.”

The kneeling Zheng Jiangliu started to guess to himself.

The moon has been bright the past few days. The concentrated moonlight illuminated Indigo Azure City’s coastal sea. That’s the exact location where I sent Jiao Hanzhong to kill the masked youth.

However, this guess was terrifying, and Zheng Jiangliu dared not dive in too deeply.

Although the Zheng family had not experienced any disasters in the past two weeks, Zheng Jiangliu thought it would be best to stay on his guard.

If the Zheng family crossed someone that was untouchable, even the Miao family who supported the Second Young Master would burst into flames.

The top faction that was the Miao family would be burnt to a crisp.

When Zheng Kaiyuan heard Zheng Jiangliu’s response, he glanced at Zheng Jiangliu haughtily but did not address him again.

Instead, he turned to look at Bi Chenghu, who wanted nothing more than to disappear.

“The source is the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. Hehe, I can’t believe they’re capable of so much,” said Zheng Kaiyuan.

There was a hint of solemness in Zheng Kaiyuan’s eyes.

Although Zheng Kaiyuan was arrogant, he was not stupid. He had even sought out the Indigo Azure Guard Captain to understand the circumstances.

After Zheng Kaiyuan’s numerous visits to the Indigo Azure Guard Captain, he only managed to find out the name Sky City.

He was clueless as to the power that Sky City held.

After one match that had the power to kill two emperor-class warriors, Zheng Kaiyuan could not disregard them.

Bi Chenghu would never have expected that the Zheng family’s Second Young Master would talk to him in such a condescending manner.

Although the Second Young Master seemed to be talking to Bi Chenghu, he might as well have been talking to himself.

Bi Chenghu, who thought that he knew the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce rather well, dared not interrupt.

While Bi Chenghu was struggling, he was unexpectedly called out by Zheng Kaiyuan.

“Third Uncle said that your name is Bi Chenghu. What a bold-sounding name. I know you came to Third Uncle for resources. Whether he decides to give you any or not, I can help you out. Are you interested?”

Bi Chenghu, whose legs were already numb, assumed that he was doomed.

Little did he know that he would be granted such a blessing.

Bi Chenghu’s eyes lit up as he cried out, “I’m willing. If you’re willing to help the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce, we’ll do anything in for you in return!”

Zheng Kaiyuan knocked on the armrest of the main seat.

“While the dimensional rift remains closed, all beasts should hide their claws. Nothing good will come out of baring their teeth. However, the Zheng family cannot stay idle! Bi Chenghu, I shall give you the luxury resources that you desire. All you have to do is make sure that you squeeze the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce dry.”

Bi Chenghu was delighted by this unexpected surprise and thanked the Second Young Master happily.

Zheng Jiangliu looked at Bi Chenghu with a troubled gaze.

Now that he had formed a connection with the Second Young Master, Bi Chenghu could stand on the same level as Zheng Jiangliu and no longer needed to play the role of the obedient dog.

However, Zheng Jiangliu’s uneasiness has diminished.

Although this matter stemmed from the Zheng family’s third lineage, they had managed to dig themselves out of the hole by offering the coastal sea’s resources.

Zheng Jiangliu just needed to focus on developing the coastal sea resources and increasing profits.

Zheng Kaiyuan would handle all the problems.

By reading in between Zheng Kaiyuan’s words, he was prepared to fight the faction behind the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.

...

Lin Yuan and Chu Ci were done spending New Year’s at the Radiant Moon Palace. They returned to the mansion the next day.

Back at the mansion, Lin Yuan and the rest had a reunion dinner together. They initially planned on going shopping in the afternoon, but the first snow of the year arrived.

The snow was heavy. It covered the Royal Capital like a blanket of white goose feathers.

The Return from Faraway Mansion’s plants and Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus were covered with a thick layer of snow.

The group watched as the snow became heavier and discarded their plans to go shopping. Instead, they made a variety of intricate dishes with Liu Jie.

The snow descending from the sky gave Lin Yuan a good feeling.

The snow was a good omen that heralded a warm and healthy spring.

The snow bore the hope that the coming year was going to be smooth sailing.

Chu Ci had always been the quiet type. However, she was rather restless now. All she could think about was going to watch the Allstar Match tomorrow.

Lin Yuan felt that Chu Ci was even more lively than Genius and Chimey combined at that moment.

He watched Chu Ci pace around him.

Lin Yuan knew that Chu Ci had something to say to him, so he patted the seat next to him on the sofa and said, “Stop pacing. You’re making me dizzy. You can tell me anything.”

Chu Ci planted herself next to Lin Yuan and giggled. “Big Brother, there might be a challenge match at the Allstar Match tomorrow. I have a feeling that I’ll be picked! That’s why I want to evolve the Varja Butterfly to Fantasy Breed today.”

Lin Yuan affectionately pinched Chu Ci’s nose and said, “When did you become so superstitious? I can’t believe you’re trusting a sixth sense. If so, I think I’ll get picked too!”
