Fey Evolution Merchant

As the Ethereal Jellyfish searched through the sea in detail, Lin Yuan’s collection of Spatial Magnets increased and was already close to 100.

At present, Lin Yuan and the Mother of Bloodbath realized that the range of the magnetic field was truly too wide. As Lin Yuan followed the Ethereal Jellyfish in the air, they were getting further away from the shore.

Soon after, Lin Yuan saw an island that was around 4,000 to 5,000 square meters in size.

The island was abnormally barren, just like the seabed that the Sea Burial Lotus Flower ravaged.

Lin Yuan had heard Listen mention about this barren island before. It was already out of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s territory.

Lin Yuan realized that the Ethereal Jellyfish found an extreme number of Spatial Magnets in the vicinity of the island. Lin Yuan then said to the Mother of Bloodbath, “Why don’t we use this island as a checkpoint? I will ask Liu Jie, Listen, and Zhou Luo to come over too.”

The Mother of Bloodbath responded. “When coming over to the shore, there were plenty of eyes that were staring at you. You have already been searching on the sea for almost four hours now. I believe that those people with motives wouldn’t be able to sit still after finding out you went out to the sea, right?”

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes and let out a smile. “If they cannot sit still, they will naturally reveal themselves. We shall respond to them by remaining calm.”

…

A tall and skinny man was using a cloth made with spirit beast pelt to wipe the chess pieces that had distinct white and black color.

There was a black and white sable on the Creation Master robe of the tall and skinny man. The sable was drooling as it looked at the chess pieces in the man’s hand. Its eyes were twisting and turning as it was abnormally spirited.

Zheng Jiangliu looked at the sinister-looking youth beside him and said with an impatient tone, “Wenbo, what are you saying? Is your Grandpa Jiao someone you can command as you please?”

Zheng Wenbo looked like a frozen eggplant. Zheng Wenbo’s sinister eyes and vicious eyes would nearly ooze out as soon as he recalled what had happened during the day at the Indigo Azure Sea Market.

The elder with the straight back and cedar aura used his hand to rub on Zheng Wenbo’s head and said, “I have watched Wenbo grow up from a baby, and I understand his temperament. If he hadn’t suffered a great embarrassment, he would never have talked like that.”

Zheng Jiangliu asked softly, “Uncle Jiao, are you sure that there isn’t any emperor-class expert with the youth and Listen?”

Zheng Jiangliu was abnormally friendly and didn’t act as sternly as he acted toward Zheng Wenbo.

The elder then said with a composed expression, “I didn’t feel any powerful presence beside that youth. Unless the opposition’s strength is significantly higher than mine, I will not be able to sense their presence.

“Even if my Cold Snow Pine isn’t adept at sensing among the support-type feys, its exclusive skill has a certain level of detection. Therefore, my senses are normally correct.”

Zheng Jiangliu was still a little apprehensive and was hesitating on how he should make his decision.

According to what Elder Jiao had said earlier, the youth with the mask wasn’t someone simple. The mask he wore was made with threads of completely jade-textured wood.

But after thinking that Zheng Wenbo had actually had the intention to hide the opposition’s foundation while asking him to send out people to kill the opposition to take revenge for his embarrassment, Zheng Jiangliu was a little anxious.

Why do I have an incompetent son that only knows how to act with his emotions?

When recalling the loss of Elder Niu, Zheng Jiangliu felt the rage building up in his heart.

Zheng Jiangliu turned to look at the tall and skinny man as he asked with a smile, “Second Young Master, I wonder if you think I shall make a move on the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s Listen now and kill their group.

“I can then take control of all the coastal sea resources in Indigo Azure City and quickly give the 50% profit to Second Young Master.”

The skinny youth didn’t even look up as he was still wiping the chess pieces. He replied without answering the question, “Third Uncle, the chess pieces you brought me this time have some nice patterns. They’re rather good.”

When Zheng Jiangliu heard the reply, his smile froze. However, the skinny youth spoke again. “Since Third Uncle is so willing to split 50% of the coastal sea’s profit with me, then I cannot sit by the side without giving ideas while watching Third Uncle fretting.

“Actually, I feel that Wenbo is a good child and cannot be embarrassed like that.”

While speaking, the skinny youth noticed the sable drooling as it looked at the chess piece in his hand. He then let out a gentle smile as before and tossed the chess piece to the sable. “This little fellow, you are already hungry in less than two hours? I just fed you before we came, and you are already looking for snacks. Aren’t you afraid of getting fat?”

When Zheng Jiangliu saw the skinny youth tossing the completely jade-textured chess piece to the fey, his face twitched twice. After all, he had painstakingly obtained those chess pieces. At the same time, thoughts were rapidly flying through his mind.

The Second Young Master’s meaning was clear—he should make the move. However, the Second Young Master had only said to make the move, but he hadn’t said he would help.

At present, Zheng Jiangliu only had one emperor-class expert, Uncle Jiao, who he could mobilize.

Zheng Jiangliu was still worried about making Uncle Jiao move out alone as there might be risks.

After all, the death of Elder Niu, a pinnacle king-class expert, was already a strong warning. If Second Young Master could send an expert to move along with Uncle Jiao, it would be good.

The skinny youth looked up and saw Zheng Jiangliu’s serious expression. He raised his brows as though it was nothing.

Just as he was about to speak, there was a knocking sound at the door.

When Zheng Jiangliu heard the knocking sound, he yelled, “Elder Feng, Second Young Master is here, and you dare to knock and disturb? What are you doing!?”

While speaking, Zheng Jiangliu was a little puzzled. The housekeeper, Elder Feng, had been working with him for at least 20 years. Why would he knock on the door to disturb him now? Something important must have happened.

As expected, Elder Feng’s anxious and hurried voice echoed. “Master, there is really something important to report.”

Immediately after, Zheng Jiangliu turned to look at the skinny youth seated beside him. The skinny youth took up another white chess piece to feed his sable as he said indifferently, “Third Uncle, please go ahead.”

After receiving the skinny youth’s permission, Zheng Jiangliu yelled toward the door. “Enter!”

After opening the door, the anxious-looking Elder Feng bowed to the Second Young Master first before he quickly walked beside Zheng Jiangliu and whispered in an extremely soft voice. “After the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s Listen left with the two masked youths, they headed for the coastal sea under the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s control.

“Our spies just came back to report that they have already visited the barren island that is at the coastal sea’s outer borders.”

Zheng Jiangliu’s eyes widened.

Zheng Jiangliu turned around with an abnormally determined expression that had some anxiety.

Unlike the earlier hesitation, he was now like a changed person. “Second Young Master, if my third lineage moves out alone, there might be risks. I wonder if Second Young Master can send an emperor-class expert to support us in the dark.”
