Both of them had watched Zheng Kaiyuan grow up and knew that he was truly exceptionally talented at Creation Master skills. That was why Miao Qi had accepted him as her disciple.
Nonetheless, he did not have the authority to stand amidst the disciples of the members of royalty.
The Zheng family was not eligible to attend the Guard Ye Banquet, and Zheng Kaiyuan had only been able to go because of Miao Qi.
He had no prior connections with the disciples of the members of royalty.
Thus, there were no obvious areas of doubt to point at now that he had joined that group.
However, Miao Zhenshen was helpless and at a complete loss. He asked Zheng Kaiyuan, “Kaiyuan, what do you have in mind?”
Zheng Kaiyuan took a step forward and puffed out his chest as he said, “You have to attack the problem at its root. The matter stems from the Moon Empress’ disciple because he’s the one Miao Zhuo offended. Thus, as long as Miao Zhuo can gain Lord Lin Yuan’s forgiveness, the Moon Empress will probably let the matter go as well.
“Lord Lin Yuan wore a Moonbeam Coronation Costume similar to that of the Moon Empress’ at the Guard Ye Banquet. It’s obvious how important he is to her. He also produced the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls at the Royal Capital’s Fey Observer Association. If we can form a good relationship with him, it should be easy for us to obtain the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls as well.”
Miao Zhenshen and Miao Qi looked deep in thought, and it seemed that they found Zheng Kaiyuan’s plan to be feasible.
Meanwhile, the bloodied and blue Miao Zhuo was glaring daggers at Zheng Kaiyuan.
As one of the young direct descendants of Connected Beast Park, Miao Zhuo was adept at the art of speech.
Zheng Kaiyuan had summarized the entire situation at the beginning of his speech. Yet, he still felt compelled to mention that Miao Zhuo had been the one to insult Lin Yuan.
It was an unnecessary addition, and it was clear that Zheng Kaiyuan had only included it to beat Miao Zhuo further down.
Miao Zhuo had always felt that he took good care of Zheng Kaiyuan. Yet now, why was Zheng Kaiyuan trying to beat him down even further when he was already at the point of no return?
Zheng Kaiyuan’s scathing comments caused Miao Zhuo’s heart to plunge, and he almost guffawed bitterly.
After all, his surname was Miao, while Zheng Kaiyuan’s surname was Zheng. Even if there was no hope for him left, he was still a direct descendent of the Miao family. He could make Zheng Kaiyuan disappear without a trace if he wanted to.
Zheng Kaiyuan took two steps toward Miao Zhuo until both of them were inches away.
Miao Zhuo noticed Zheng Kaiyuan roll his eyes at him and felt like Zheng Kaiyuan was looking at him as though he was a servant.
“Grandfather, Master, Mother told me to form as many connections as possible at the Guard Ye Banquet. I’m very good at making friends. I even managed to get Lord Lin Yuan’s contact number.”
Miao Zhenshen and Miao Qi looked both shocked and surprised. They were now looking at Zheng Kaiyuan in a completely new light.
Miao Zhenshen walked over and placed his hand on Zheng Kaiyuan’s shoulder as he said, “Grandson, don’t go back to Indigo Azure City for now. I’ll also ask someone to bring Miao Zhi here. Give me the number of the Moon Empress’ disciple, and the Elders will discuss how to contact him. If you’re free in the next two days, go and spend time with the Moon Empress’ disciple. Take anything you need from Connected Beast Park’s treasure trove.”
Miao Zhuo could not believe that Zheng Kaiyuan had the phone number of a disciple of royalty. Now, he really could not strike back against Zheng Kaiyuan and would likely have to start keeping his head down around Zheng Kaiyuan.
Miao Zhuo could not figure out what Zheng Kaiyuan could have done to obtain Lin Yuan’s number after Miao Zhuo was chased out of the Midnight Palace.
Meanwhile, Zheng Kaiyuan was incredibly excited.
The most intimate way that his grandfather had ever addressed was to call him ‘Kaiyuan’. He had never been addressed as ‘grandson’.
His grandfather had been upset ever since Zheng Kaiyuan’s mother married into the Zheng family. It had also been years since Miao Zhenshan allowed Miao Zhi to return to the Miao family residence.
Even during New Year’s, when his mother called to send greetings, his grandfather always refused to pick up.
Yet now, his grandfather was allowing his mother to return home.
His mother’s longtime dream was finally coming true.
Not only had his grandfather’s attitude changed toward Zheng Kaiyuan, but he had also allowed Zheng Kaiyuan to take anything from Connected Beast Park’s treasure trove.
Only priceless treasures were stored in Connected Beast Park’s treasure trove.
Usually, he would never have the chance to come close to such treasures.
Since he had the authority to take anything he wanted from Connected Beast Park’s treasure trove, he could find any excuse to retrieve what he wanted even if he did not approach Lin Yuan.
The physical benefits were much more important to Zheng Kaiyuan than Miao Zhenshen’s approval.
Zheng Kaiyuan’s ambition had bloomed at the Guard Ye Banquet.
At that moment, Zheng Kaiyuan suddenly realized that he had the entire Miao family under his thumb.
Now, Zheng Kaiyuan could not care less about Miao Zhuo or even his Master Miao Qi.
Nevertheless, Zheng Kaiyuan would never have the courage to take the initiative to hang out with Lin Yuan because they had never contacted each other before.
But since Lin Yuan himself had left the contact number, it had to be real.
Zheng Kaiyuan’s mind immediately flew to Lin Yuan, and a scheme started to form in his head.
“Grandfather, I’ll do anything you say! If you need my help in any way, just let me know. However, I observed that Lord Lin Yuan has a bad temper. Hence, you have to prepare a sincere present for him.”
Zheng Kaiyuan knew that he was being treated so well now because he had Lin Yuan’s phone number.
