Lin Yuan said casually, “We all exchanged contact details at the Guard Ye Banquet. Why don’t we create a group to discuss the matter?”
Long Tao assumed that Lin Yuan had just been shooting from the hip. He did not expect Lin Yuan to put his words into action immediately.
Long Tao replied enthusiastically, “Okay, let’s talk in the group.”
Lin Yuan went on to call Liu Jie.
Liu Jie had been in the Spirit Guards’ land for some time and was using the Insect Queen to control the insect-species carcinoma fey so as to increase the sacred source lifeform’s Stars.
Since this matter involved Liu Jie, Lin Yuan planned to call Liu Jie to ask his opinion first.
The phone rang a few times, but Liu Jie did not pick up.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to hang up the call, a cold female voice picked up and said, “Little Yuan, Liu Jie is using the Insect Queen to control the Crab Heart Dung Beetle. It has impressive battle prowess, and the Insect Queen needs at least two more hours to make it fully submit. If you need anything, you can let me know. Or I can pass the message for you once the Insect Queen is done controlling the Crab Heart Dung Beetle.”
Lin Yuan did not immediately respond. However, he knew that he was talking to Night Leaning Moon.
Lin Yuan hastily said, “Hello Chief Guard Ye, I don’t have any urgent issues. I just plan on starting a faction with a few friends to venture and expand into the abyssal world. I wanted to ask Big Brother Liu if he had any opinions about it.”
Night Leaning Moon was slightly shocked.
She remembered that Liu Jie was Lin Yuan’s retainer knight, and Lin Yuan could make such decisions without seeking Liu Jie’s opinions.
Night Leaning Moon had not felt that anything was off when she first accepted Liu Jie as her disciple.
But now that she had been his Master for more than two months, their relationship had continued to grow deeper.
Night Leaning Moon was afraid that Liu Jie was suffering.
However, after the call with Lin Yuan, all of Night Leaning Moon’s worries dissolved.
If Lin Yuan even sought Liu Jie’s opinions on such matters, it showed how much he respected Liu Jie. This meant that Lin Yuan did not regard Liu Jie as his retainer knight but as a true friend.
Night Leaning Moon thought about how her disciple always placed his hand on the Class 2 Creation Master crest on his chest.
If she did not know that Liu Jie was actually touching his faith, Night Leaning Moon might wonder if her disciple had a strange attraction to his own chest.
Regardless, she did not think that Liu Jie would object to Lin Yuan’s suggestion.
Night Leaning Moon was currently using her resources to help Liu Jie increase his power in the hopes that he would become the fifth Radiance Envoy in three years.
In order to become a Radiance Envoy, one had to have influence on top of power.
Thus, Night Leaning Moon really hoped that Liu Jie would be able to join the faction that Lin Yuan had mentioned.
“Little Yuan, you don’t have to call me Chief Guard Ye in the future. My name is Night Leaning Moon. You can call me Auntie Moon Night. I’ll tell Liu Jie to call you when he wakes up.”
Lin Yuan could not believe that Chief Guard Ye’s name was actually Night Leaning Moon.
Wasn’t this the same name as the Leaning Moon Mountain where the Moon Empress lived?
‘Leaning Moon’ sounded like a meaningful name to Lin Yuan.
Since Liu Jie was busy using the Insect Queen to control the Crab Heart Dung Beetle, Lin Yuan decided to represent Liu Jie in the meeting.
Even if Liu Jie joined the discussion, he would be providing resources and not manpower.
Liu Jie was a member of Sky City and Lin Yuan’s retainer knight, so all his resources would still come from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan created a group with Gao Feng, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Sun Ningxiang, Long Tao, and Li Xuan before sending the first message.
Lin Yuan: “Long Tao and Li Xuan have come up with an idea that I think is pretty good. If you have time, why don’t we discuss it together? @everyone”
Long Tao and Li Xuan quickly started to send their replies.
Long Tao: “That’s right. The Class 6 abyss dimensional rift can connect to the abyssal world. Are you interested in expanding into the marsh world together?”
Li Xuan had not had the time to send his message when someone in the group started up a video call.
He hurriedly deleted the message he had typed out and entered the video call.
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow when he saw Zong Ze had started the video call.
When Lin Yuan entered the call, he saw that everyone was present.
Lin Yuan’s screen was split into eight different boxes, and seven of them had heads in them.
Gao Feng was already asleep. Thus, his hair was messy, and he was rubbing his eyes dazedly.
“The Young Liege of the Midnight Palace is busy, so I’ll represent us,” said Lin Yuan.
Long Tao, Li Xuan, Sun Ningxiang, Gao Feng, Gu Lang, and even Zong Ze were stunned.
After becoming Cicada Song’s disciple, Gao Feng had been receiving his tutelage. He now understood the abilities and responsibilities that came with being the disciple of a member of royalty.
However, he did not expect Liu Jie to have allowed Lin Yuan to represent them.
It was clear how close Lin Yuan and Liu Jie were.
Lin Yuan allowed Long Tao and Li Xuan to explain their proposal.
Once they were done, Zong Ze said, “It’s not a bad idea. However, I don’t have people that can harvest resources from the abyssal world. But I can provide the faction with five emperor-class experts and one thearch-class expert. Is this contribution enough for me to gain 15% ownership of the faction?”
Zong Ze’s words made Long Tao, Li Xuan, and Sun Ningxiang’s eyes light up with elation.
