2022 What They Do, We’ll Do Too!

Yi Huailong and Yi Huailu were afraid that their family’s main members would be targeted due to this storm of events and moved their entire family into the tree castle at the beginning of the Su family’s operation.

Besides the people from the Yi family, there were also the people from the Love Music Center.

Su Yiren had selected Su Man to be one of the 14 Poppy Fruits, and she oversaw the Love Music Center in Sacred Forest City.

Su Man had learned of Lin Yuan’s identity long ago.

It was not easy for Su Yiren to use the Absolute Love Poppy to pick the 14 Poppy Fruits. The death of any one of the Poppy Fruits would severely injure the Absolute Love Poppy, and it would need some time in order to recover.

Thus, Su Yiren did not want Su Man to be injured.

After Su Man reported the situation in Sacred Forest City to Su Yiren, the latter immediately transferred the news to Lin Yuan through the Thoughts Letter Paper. She hoped he would look after Su Man while he was in Sacred Forest City or, at the very least, ensure that she did not die.

When Lin Yuan received the news from Su Yiren, he immediately instructed Su Man to bring everyone from the Love Music Center to the tree castle.

With Di Wanmi and the Mother of Bloodbath around, even if Lin Yuan was not around, the safety of the tree castle would be assured.

Su Man was the first to have led a group to seek shelter in the tree castle.

By the time Yi Huailong led the people from the Yi family over, they noticed that everyone from the Love Music Center had arrived at the tree castle.

This made Yi Huailong remember that the Love Music Center had only appeared in the Divine Wood Federation a few months ago.

It was likely that they were also under Lin Yuan’s control.

This meant that Lin Yuan had had his eye on the Divine Wood Federation for a long time.

When Yi Huailu and Yi Huailong saw Lin Yuan at the entrance of the tree castle, they immediately rushed up to greet him.

Both of them noticed the pink and gold gem at the corner of his eye that had not been there before.

The gem turned Lin Yuan’s aura from that of a dignified prince to an unreachable deity.

Both of them were extremely grateful to Lin Yuan, but they were also once again ascertained that their decision to make the Yi family a subsidiary of Sky Creation had been a very right one.

Yi Huailong was unaware of the Su and Bai families’ schemes.

If the Su and Bai families joined forces and killed the Yang family in the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court, there was no way that they would let the Yi family off either.

Even if the Yang family managed to kill the Su and Bai families, it was unlikely that the Yang family would be willing to continue letting the Yi family go free after experiencing such betrayal.

It could be said that Lin Yuan was the Yi family’s savior.

Lin Yuan nodded at Yi Huailu and Yi Huailong, who greeted him.

Su Man also approached and curtsied humbly to Lin Yuan.

Su Man knew that the Yi family was a friendly force and said candidly, “Lord, the Yang family’s first grandson Yang Ji is very fond of the Love Music Center and has spent a large sum on many occasions to book private sessions.

“In order to obtain information, all of the food and wine served in the Love Music Center has been laced with poppies. On numerous occasions, Yang Ji became pliable after consuming the laced food and beverages. I learned from him that the Yang family anticipated the Su family’s plot long ago. He seemed indignant about it, as though he did not believe that the Su family had what it took to hurt the Yang family.

“The effects of the doped food will only increase in strength the more of it is consumed. The last time that Yang Ji drank the laced wine, he had been terrified. He said that he had seen a scary ball of flesh in the Yang family’s banquet hall. That ball of flesh had rolled around on the ground and would even swallow an entire table during meals.

“When I asked Yang Ji what the name of the faction was, all he said was ‘truth’. It was clear that there was more to the name, but he escaped the control of the poppy’s effects after he uttered the word ‘truth’.”

Su Man’s words caused Ding Chengshuo, Yi Huailu, Yi Huailong, and the rest of the Yi family’s main members to feel chills running up their spines.

Previously, they assumed that the Love Music Center was a group meant to accumulate wealth.

But it turned out that they were not just accumulating wealth, but information as well.

The Yi family had never heard of the information that the Love Music Center had obtained.

Since Su Man’s information had come from Yang Ji, and given Yang Ji’s position in the Yang family, it was unlikely that it would be wrong.

However, what did the ball of flesh and truth mean?

Lin Yuan’s eyes narrowed when he heard Su Man mention ‘truth’.

The faction hidden in the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court was indeed the same Truth Association that was controlling the Great Lush Federation.

If this was the case, the Divine Wood Federation and Great Lush Federation were trapped in the palm of the Truth Association.

It was likely that the changes in the Iron Hammer Federation were also linked to the Truth Association.

Otherwise, a person like Luo Cai, who had been nurtured by the previous king, would not have the ambition nor the ability to single-handedly kill the previous king and steal the throne from Luo Lan.

Lin Yuan was curious about what the Truth Association was after.

At that moment, Liu Jie walked down the stairs holding a small beast with pretty fur. It had an air of inauspiciousness around it.

When the small beast laid eyes on Lin Yuan, it immediately leaped out of Liu Jie’s arms and into Lin Yuan’s before it started nuzzling his hand.

Liu Jie walked over to Lin Yuan and said, “Lin Yuan, Yi Huailong and Su Man have helped me to gather the reserve members of the white-clothed followers. There are a total of 143 of them. I have handled all the people sent by the Su family to spy on us.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

The Su family had been eliminated and the spies they had sent were like rudderless boats.

However, from the moment they entered the tree castle, they had been working for the Su family and did not have a shred of loyalty to speak of.

There was no way that Lin Yuan could keep such people around.

If he did not have the means to take on the Su family, the spies sent by the Su family would bring danger to everyone within the tree castle.

Even if Liu Jie did not handle them, Lin Yuan would do so himself when he returned.

Lin Yuan coughed, which attracted the attention of everyone in the tree castle.

He went on to say, “Everyone, get ready! Before the day after tomorrow, regardless of whether the Yang family or Truth Association seeks us out, we will head to the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court together.”

Yi Huailong was stunned and asked in confusion, “Young Master, why are we going to the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court? The Yang family…”

Before Yi Huailong could finish speaking, he saw Lin Yuan grin at him and reply, “We will be doing what the Su family and Bai family went to the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court to do! How else is the Yi family going to enter the imperial court and become its ruler?”
