Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2073

The extremely pure heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls allowed Jin Qianxun to understand how strong of a faction he had sworn his loyalty to.

Thus, before the meeting with the Truth Association, Jin Qianxun was more willing to side with Lin Yuan.

However, everything that happened during the meeting with the Truth Association caused Jin Qianxun to change his mind out of fear.

Jin Qianxun never expected that the Truth Association, which was in control of the entire Great Lush Federation, would have power beyond Immortal.

Jin Qianxun had never interacted with a Class 5 Creation Master and did not understand what heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls produced by Class 5 Creation Masters signified.

But subconsciously, Jin Qianxun did not think that Lin Yuan stood a chance of triumphing over the Truth Association.

These were experts who were more powerful than Immortal! There were more than one of them!

Moreover, in line with the Truth Association's goal, the entire Startling Lines Continent was about to be thrown into chaos.

Two days later, all the tribes in the Iron Hammer Federation would be ordered by Luo Cai to attack the Divine Wood Federation. The secret aristocratic families of the Great Lush Federation would also join the fray.

At first, Jin Qianxun thought that the Truth Association wanted to swallow up the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation so that the entire Startling Lines Continent would be theirs.

But now, Jin Qianxun sensed that something was not right.

If they only wanted to destroy the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation and take control of them, there would be no need for the Great Lush Federation to become involved.

It would be much better to get involved only once the victor was decided between the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation.

There was no way that the Truth Association would make a mistake when it came to this decision.

For some reason, Jin Qianxun was filled with a sense of foreboding.

If the Great Lush Federation decided to enter the battle alongside the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation, the entire Startling Lines Continent would be turned into a giant furnace.

Could such a situation be what the Truth Association was after?

Jin Qianxun wanted to have a good talk with his oldest brother once they returned home from the meeting.

Jin Qianxun's understanding of the situation came from his deductions and analysis of this meeting.

But his older brother attended such a meeting two to three times each year in the years after their father died. After attending so many meetings, his brother would definitely have a better understanding of the Truth Association than him.

Thus, his brother would be more capable of guessing what the Truth Association's aim was.

Jin Qianxun stood up and started walking to his oldest brother's study room. Along the way, he ran into his second brother, Jin Qianxing.

Before Jin Qianxun could greet Jin Qianxing, the latter said to him anxiously, "Qianxun, are you here to talk to First Brother about the events of the meeting? If you're here about anything else, let me go first. I need to speak with him."

The entire Jin family was very respectful of Jin Qianding.

Jin Qianding had been the head of the Jin family for more than a decade and also the only Immortal expert in the Jin family. He had absolute authority in the Jin family.

Jin Qianding had a habit of dealing with one thing at a time.

As such, the members of the Jin family only sought him out individually.

Jin Qianxun knew what kind of person Jin Qianxing was.

Jin Qianxing was domineering.

If both of them went in together, Jin Qianxing would cut in front of him to speak to Jin Qianding.

Jin Qianxun had been ticked off by Jin Qianxing's despotic behavior more than once.

Jin Qianxun felt that Jin Qianxing was slow and did not like to think things through.

Since he also wanted to speak with Jin Qianding about the Truth Association, it was likely that he had also sensed that there was more to the meeting than what appeared on the surface.

Jin Qianxun hurriedly said, "Second Brother, I'll go in with you! I'm also here to see First Brother. I won't interfere in the discussion between you two!"

Jin Qianxing did not turn Jin Qianxun down.

This was because both of them had the same parents.

Furthermore, Jin Qianxun was only the fifth strongest expert in the Jin family and there were some things that did not need to be hidden from him. Thus, they walked into the study room together, with Jin Qianxun leading.

Jin Qianding was frowning at the map in front of him.

The map was of the Startling Lines Continent, and it was drawn with very fine details.

The Great Lush Federation was full of scholars. Moreover, the chambers of commerce from the Great Lush Federation often added to the map based on their travels.

If Lin Yuan saw the map, he would immediately notice that this map was several times more detailed than the one that the Yang family kept in the imperial court.

Even the distance between each marked location was noted.

It was clear that this map had been prepared for war and had extremely strong strategic significance.

Before Jin Qianxun and Jin Qianxing entered, Jin Qianding had been mulling over the map for close to two hours.

But when he saw his brothers walking in, Jin Qianding could not help but ask, "Why are the both of you here together?"

Jin Qianxing immediately replied, "First Brother, I'm here to speak with you about the Truth Association. On the way here, I bumped into Qianxun, and he said that he also wanted to come to greet you. So, I brought him in with me!"

Jin Qianding nodded and asked, "Qianxing, what about the Truth Association do you need to speak to me about? Can it be that you have some thoughts after attending your first meeting?"

Jin Qianxun was crafty and immediately looked at Jin Qianding's face when he heard what he said.

Jin Qianxun noticed that Jin Qianding was looking at Jin Qianxing with scrutiny and displeasure.

It was clear that Jin Qianxing had not noticed the meaning behind Jin Qianding's gaze.

As such, Jin Qianxun's chest tightened.

Jin Qianxing had not asked anything that was out of line. So why was Jin Qianding looking at him in such a manner?

Since Jin Qianxun had come for a similar reason, he decided to let Jin Qianxing ask the questions in his stead.

At first, he made this decision because Jin Qianxun was domineering. If he had not said what he said, Jin Qianxing would not have allowed him to tag along.

But now, Jin Qianxun thought, Luckily, I wasn't the one who brought up the Truth Association. Otherwise, First Brother would be casting that gaze on me.

Jin Qianxun remembered that Jin Qianding had evolved from beginner thearch-class to Immortal very abruptly more than a decade ago. The entire process only took a few short years.

Jin Qianxun had been wondering if his brother's rapid increase in power was related to the Truth Association.
