Fey Evolution Merchant (Web Novel)
chapter-2156

While Jin Qianxun was speaking, his gaze swept across the leaders of the secret aristocratic families who were watching.

Anyone who happened to catch his gaze would immediately look away before lowering their heads.

At this instant, Jin Qianxun was struck with the feeling of being a king.

After the leaders of the secret aristocratic families left, Jin Qianxun knelt in front of Lin Yuan and kowtowed to him.

When he lowered his head to the ground, he placed a hand below his head to cushion it and the other hand on his neck.

Lin Yuan knew that this was the sign of the highest reverence in the Great Lush Federation.

Lin Yuan did not stop Jin Qianxun.

After Jin Qianxun was done and rose to his feet, Lin Yuan said, "When you start managing the Great Lush Federation, I will arrange for an assistant for you who will support you but not make any decisions on your behalf. You can send that assistant on any task, no matter how difficult it is."

At first, Jin Qianxun thought that Lin Yuan was sending someone to watch him.

But Lin Yuan said that the person he assigned would not interfere in Jin Qianxun's decisions and that he could have the final say in everything regarding the Great Lush Federation.

This filled Jin Qianxun with some doubt. He could not understand what Lin Yuan's intentions were.

Meanwhile, as Weng Queji watched the dim and confused Jin Qianxun, he could not help but say, "The Lord must have set up this arrangement to train his subordinate!"

When Jin Qianxun heard what Weng Queji said, realization dawned on him, and he hurriedly said, "Lord, rest assured, I will definitely train whoever you send me to the best of my ability."

Lin Yuan nodded at Jin Qianxun.

Jin Qianxun took the hint and left the tent to Lin Yuan and Weng Queji.

Weng Queji was also willing to become loyal to Lin Yuan. The difference was that Weng Queji was much more valuable than Jin Qianxun.

Although Jin Qianxun could not see what Lin Yuan's intentions were for now, he was well aware of his position.

Lin Yuan had already found out through Jin Qianxun that the Class 5 Creation Master, who had been under Fifth Page Truth, wanted to join his camp.

Lin Yuan had been in disbelief when he first heard this news.

But Weng Queji had called Lin Yuan 'Lord', meaning that he saw himself beneath Lin Yuan.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to say something to Weng Queji, the latter said with utmost formality, "Lord, my name is Weng Queji. This is my disciple, Weng Baochuan. Baochuan, come and greet the Lord!"

Weng Queji hastily greeted Lin Yuan in a timid voice.

Weng Baochuan could tell that Lin Yuan was younger than him. In fact, all three people in front of him were young.

Nonetheless, Weng Baochuan dared not underestimate any of them. After all, they had managed to take down the Truth Association, a feat that even his master was not capable of.

After Weng Queji greeted Lin Yuan and his group, Weng Queji went on to say, "All I want is peace and stability. I joined Fifth Page Truth because he could give me just that. After joining him, I did not ask for much. All I ask from you is a safe life free from troubles, as well as a chance for Baochuan to train properly. If you can meet these needs, I'm willing to work for you from now on."

When Weng Queji contacted Lin Yuan through Jin Qianxun, Liu Jie and Su Yiren had assumed that Weng Queji had a long list of requests.

After all, it was extremely rare to have a Class 5 Creation Master offer up his services. It was only right that any and all requests and resources he wanted to be met.

However, it turned out that this Class 5 Creation Master wanted so little. It was likely that even Class 1 and 2 Creation Masters in the Radiance Federation would ask for more than he had.

Lin Yuan looked deeply into Weng Queji's eyes.

With his experience of having lived two lives, Lin Yuan could guess how Weng Queji was currently feeling.

Weng Queji appeared to have already reached nirvana but was actually full of woe and had experienced his fair share of life's sufferings.

Lin Yuan had no reason not to agree when he only needed to fulfill such simple requests to earn the services of a Class 5 Creation Master.

"From now on, I will provide you with a steady stream of resources. Your disciple should be a Creation Master too. Why don't you leave him with me from now on? I will arrange for a suitable chance to train him, during which his safety will be assured. This is our first time meeting, and there's no reason for us to trust each other. So, you need to give me a reason to trust you."

Even before Lin Yuan could finish speaking, Weng Queji understood what he was getting at.

Fifth Page Truth had not asked Weng Queji to swear his loyalty, but this might not be the same case with Lin Yuan.

As a Class 5 Creation Master, Weng Queji would definitely be placed in an important position in Lin Yuan's faction.

In such an important position, any change in Weng Queji's heart could bring untold losses to Lin Yuan.

Rather than a loss of resources, having information leaked would be calamitous.

Lin Yuan had Red Thorn, so it would not make much of a difference to Lin Yuan if Weng Queji was dead or alive.

If Lin Yuan could not rest easy with a living Weng Queji, he would prefer a dead one.

Lin Yuan's words took Weng Queji by surprise.

Weng Queji had never imagined that he would one day be asked to swear his loyalty to someone.

After pondering for a moment, Weng Queji smiled dryly.

He had just told Weng Baochuan not to be too caught up in the title of being a Class 5 Creation Master. However, he did feel a slight tug of reluctance.

But the fact was that there was not much difference in position between himself and Jin Qianxun in this young man's eyes. Both of them were dispensable.

Weng Queji was not the type to hesitate. Although he felt disconcerted, he still quickly swore his loyalty to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan sensed that his soul had taken control of Weng Queji's soul, and he could not help but smile.

Nice! Sky City finally has its third Class 5 Creation Master!

After swearing his loyalty, Weng Queji was now well and truly tamed.

When Weng Queji saw the hostility in Weng Baochuan's eyes after he was made to swear his loyalty to Lin Yuan, Weng Queji hurriedly coughed and said, "Baochuan, do you remember what I told you to give the Lord? Hurry up and hand it to him!"

Weng Baochuan was stunned and hastily suppressed his hostility toward Lin Yuan.

If he was hostile to someone to who his master had become loyal, it would put him on the opposite side as his master.

Weng Baochuan plastered on a new expression of curiosity and respect as he handed Lin Yuan a piece of spatial equipment.
