Fey Evolution Merchant

“Haven’t you already met Liu Jie and Wen Yu?

“Previously, you also saw all those people when we were on that video call.

“They all hope that you can come over. Wen Yu already set up a room for you when the mansion was built.

“Uncle Hu knows that you like Black Back Mountain Boars, so he even made some wooden carvings of them that he left in your room.”

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Chu Ci wondered if she still wanted to defend herself at this time.

She could not remember how many times she had already told Lin Yuan that she only liked eating Black Back Mountain Boars—she didn’t like the boars themselves.

However, every time she explained this, Lin Yuan would always be afraid that she was oversensitive and would hint to her that she was free to like any fey.

Not being too concerned about this, Chu Ci decided to give up on correcting him.

The shyness on her face also vanished.

After she had grown a bit older, Chu Ci had also begun helping Lin Yuan greet the guests at his fey store.

Although she was not good with words, she was also not a coy person.

It was just that, meeting so many of Lin Yuan’s friends at once still made a 16-year-old girl like Chu Ci feel a little nervous.

After all, even if she did know some of the mansion’s inhabitants, she had only met them through a video call and not in real life.

Suddenly, Chu Ci recalled Cold Moon’s suggestion for her before the latter had become her master and said, “Brother, Master said that if I qualify for the Redbud Hundred this year, I can represent them to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence’s selection next year.

“I will also get the chance to qualify for the ten Radiance Hundred seats.

“If I do qualify for the ten seats, Master suggested that I should directly skip a grade and take the entrance examination for Royal Capital Advanced Spirit Qi University.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan did not immediately help Chu Ci make a decision as he would have done so before.

Instead, he smiled slightly and replied, “You’re all grown up now. You can make your own decisions about these matters.”

In this world, the person who most understood Lin Yuan may not have been Chu Ci, but the person who most understood Chu Ci was definitely Lin Yuan.

Although Chu Ci was usually rather reserved, she was someone with her own ideas.

Since Chu Ci had brought this matter up with him, it proved that she was already planning to skip a grade and enter Royal Capital Advanced Spirit Qi University.

Previously, Lin Yuan had gritted his teeth and chosen to let Chu Ci continue her education under such difficult conditions because he had wanted her to experience a complete childhood and feel that she could gain the same knowledge as other children with parents.

However, Chu Ci now chose to embark on a path for prodigies through her talent and hard work.

After the holidays were over and she returned to school, Chu Ci would possess two Fantasy Breed feys and one fairy source-type lifeform, the Burning Sunflower.

It was very likely that few of the seniors who used to participate in training competitions with Chu Ci were now worthy of being her opponents.

This was, for someone like Chu Ci, who was good at finding problems in actual combat and making progress, tantamount to missing out on many opportunities for hard practice.

Hence, for Chu Ci to maximize her growth, her best option was to attend Royal Capital Advanced Spirit Qi University.

By that time, she would also be able to live in the mansion and return to it directly every day after school.

The siblings could also live together every day.

Chu Ci smiled upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words.

“Then I will do as Master says and aim to skip a grade next year to attend Royal Capital Advanced Spirit Qi University.”

Lin Yuan scratched Chu Ci’s nose, thinking to himself that her heart’s ambition was not small.

Nevertheless, thinking about her Obsidian Iron Wild Bull that had evolved from Silver to Fantasy II and how she now had an expert like Cold Moon as her Master, Lin Yuan suddenly had the feeling that Chu Ci could even get a seat in the Radiance Hundred Sequence the next day if she wanted to.

Having been awake for a while now, Lin Yuan said as he lifted the covers and got out of bed, “Chu Ci, let’s go out! Our Masters must be worried sick!”

As he spoke, Lin Yuan’s expression grew slightly cold.

At that time, he was thinking about Hunting-Ashes, the gray-haired, gray-eyed man whom he had encountered in the dimensional rift.

He also recalled how the man had said the name ‘Seventh Page War’ after injuring Liu Jie and thinking that Lin Yuan and Liu Jie would definitely die.

It could be said that these two pieces of information were all the information about the enemy that Lin Yuan could grasp while he had been in the evolving dimensional rift.

Now that he was back at the Radiant Moon Palace, Lin Yuan could relay this information to the Moon Empress. He could also see if the Moon Empress knew who this opponent was and how much power they had.

…

Liu Jie only felt confused at that moment.

Even if he was ranked Radiance Hundred Sequence #30, he was still unworthy of being personally received by the Chief Guard of the Spirit Guards.

Moreover, the Chief Guard herself had personally informed the Radiance Sacred Hall about this matter before they had relayed the news to him. This could be said to be extremely formal.

Yet, the more formal it was, the more Liu Jie felt that it was unusual.

He also had a faint guess. The reason the Chief Guard had summoned him likely had something to do with the dimensional rift that had appeared at the coastal sea near Indigo Azure City.

It was just that, although this was an important matter, the Spirit Guards’ Guard Envoys could have been fully responsible for receiving him.

Besides the Guard Envoys, even the left and right heads could have taken care of this.

It did not require the Chief Guard at all.

While Liu Jie puzzled over this, he arrived at the lakeside of Spirit Guard Lake, where the Spirit Guards’ headquarters was located.

As long as he walked across the rope bridge that led to the center of the lake, Liu Jie would arrive at the Spirit Guards’ headquarters.

When he arrived at the lakeside and was preparing to step onto the rope bridge, Liu Jie saw a black-robed, black-veiled woman in the distance.

She was standing in the middle of the bridge with her hands behind her back.

She did not reveal the slightest spirit qi fluctuation, as though she was an ordinary person.

Even when the east wind caused the rope bridge to sway, the woman’s figure was like the unmoving bronze beast guarding the ends of the bridge.

As a Radiance Hundred Sequence member, Liu Jie had seen the Chief Guard of the Spirit Guards before.

Just by looking at the way she was dressed and her appearance on the rope bridge near the Spirit Guards’ headquarters, Liu Jie could immediately confirm her identity.
