Fey Evolution Merchant



Begin Lady had only managed to pass the Heaven's Trial with Lin Yuan's help.

But in the hundreds to thousands of years before that, Begin Lady only had itself to rely on.

It had created Little Peach to communicate with the outside world.

If it had met someone as gentle as Lin Yuan from the beginning, its path would not have been as difficult as it had been!

After Begin Lady was done lamenting, it remembered what Lin Yuan had asked it to do.

Its eyes glinted.

"Lin Yuan, two people tried to use special means to spy on the martial arts hall from the outside. I crushed their heads using my spiritual energy."

Lin Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he thought, Luckily, I told Begin Lady to keep watch. Otherwise, outsiders would have discovered the existence of Green Vine and the spirit qi crystals.

For there to still be spies even after his warning to Jin Qianxun, there could only be two possibilities.

The first possibility was that Jin Qianxun's scheming side had gotten the better of him.

There was no way that Jin Qianxun would betray Lin Yuan because of their contract.

But Lin Yuan did not like his subordinates to be overly scheming.

The second possibility was that Jin Qianxun had not taken full control of the imperial court and that those under him were extremely curious about Lin Yuan.

Regardless of the reason, Lin Yuan intended to get an explanation from Jin Qianxun after he was done increasing the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's Stars.

This martial arts hall was inside the Great Lush Federation's imperial court.

After spotting the two crushed heads and putting the pieces together, Jin Qianxun had to be beside himself with anxiousness.

Lin Yuan's guess was right.

After receiving the report that two imperial guards' heads had been crushed for some unknown reason, Jin Qianxun jumped up from the throne and erupted with panic.

There were a total of 30 king-class experts and five emperor-class experts standing guard outside the martial arts hall.

The heads that were crushed belonged to two emperor-class experts.

Currently, the Great Lush Federation's imperial court was lacking in strong defensive power.

Lin Yuan was the only person who could have killed the two emperor-class experts without so much as rustling a leaf.

Lin Yuan would not attack for no reason.

For him to have attacked, it meant that the two emperor-class experts had tried to spy on what was happening within the martial arts hall.

Jin Qianxun had instructed with emphasis before he left that these people were only to guard the area and not try to peek into what was happening within the martial arts hall.

Jin Qianxun had been trying to strengthen his connection to Lin Yuan.

However, Lin Yuan's attitude toward him was not overly warm.

Compared to Jin Qianxun, Lin Yuan was more invested in the development of the entire Great Lush Federation.

Jin Qianxun did not know what he would do if Lin Yuan became displeased with him over this matter!

With that thought, a bead of cold sweat dripped down Jin Qianxun's brow and slid down his chin.

His fear and panic soon morphed into fury.

He slammed his hand down on the table and bellowed at the servant who had reported the situation to him, "Go and investigate! Find out which aristocratic families those two imperial guards came from!

"Just how ignorant and evil do they have to be? How dare they play such dishonest tricks after swearing their loyalties to me? If that's the case, let me show you how fearsome I can be!"

Jin Qianxun had essentially been cheated by the people who had sworn their loyalties to him.

There was no way he could take such an affront lying down.

Although the leaders of the secret aristocratic families had sworn their loyalties to him under duress, they had been procrastinating severely in all the tasks he had assigned.

That in itself had already displeased Jin Qianxun greatly.

Everything that had happened was like a sparked piece of kindle that set off the flames of Jin Qianxun's anger.

All of the servants in the imperial court had been chosen from amongst the Jin family's direct descendants.

Jin Qianxun subscribed to nepotism. After all, it would always be easier to make use of and interact with one's own family members.

The servant who had reported the situation could be considered Jin Qianxun's nephew.

This servant had always seen Jin Qianxun as kind and mild-mannered. He had never seen Jin Qianxun get this angry.

This servant immediately realized the severity of the matter and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I'll go and investigate immediately! Once I'm done, I'll tell the heads of their factions to come and see you!"

Jin Qianxun sniffed angrily.

"Scatter lighted coals all over the imperial court's steps and make the two of them walk over it! Remember to use Silver Bamboo Charcoal!"

Jin Che sucked in a cold breath.

There were a total of 365 stairs to reach the imperial court.

Even if one was an emperor-class, one would definitely end up seriously injured by the time one got to the main palace unless spirit qi was employed for protection.

Moreover, it would not be regular charcoal that would be scattered on the stairs but the Silver Bamboo Charcoal.

The aristocrats used Silver Bamboo Charcoal to obtain warmth during winter.

Many districts in the Great Lush Federation were close to the sea. The marine cities were not any warmer than the Iron Hammer Federation during winter.

Silver Bamboo Charcoal was the pick of the aristocrats because it did not produce smoke when it burned and could also be burned for a long time. Additionally, it could reach extremely high temperatures.

Even a thearch-class expert would end up with all the flesh below their knees burnt to a wreck by the time they reached the main palace.

When Jin Qianxun saw that the servant did not immediately leave to do what he had commanded, he roared, "Jin Che, do you not want to work anymore?"

Jin Che was instantly startled back to his senses. He hastily apologized and scurried off to do what Jin Qianxun had ordered.

Jin Qianxun was being this strict because he wanted to establish his might as well as express his loyalty to Lin Yuan.

Since he had not done well in the task that Lin Yuan had given him, he needed to put on the right attitude at the very least.

Just as the servant was about to walk out of the main palace, a bright and pleasant female voice said, "Wait. Uncle Jin, if you're just trying to explain to Lord Lin Yuan, you're right to do this. But if you want to establish your might, you're lacking in strength a little.

"Currently, more than 80% of the secret aristocratic families are unwilling to submit to you. Why don't you have the two family leaders bring everyone in their families besides their servants to the main palace so they can all receive your punishment? Once these two aristocratic families are punished, I'm sure the others will learn their place."

Bai Qinghuan's words shocked everyone within the palace.

The servants did not know Bai Qinghuan well, but they knew that Jin Qianxun was very amicable toward her. To a certain extent, she had the power to influence his decisions.

After a few days of interacting with her, Jin Qianxun and Weng Baochuan realized that she had a very good eye for strategy and spoke with feminine slyness that often rendered one speechless.

However, neither of them had expected her to be so cruel in her actions.
