Chapter 1305: You Can’t Ignore This!
Once Lin Yuan and Liu Jie nodded, the elderly man and Zhang Cheng immediately looked at them in a different light.
The elderly man looked at Lin Yuan with new emotions in his gaze. If this was the disciple of any other member of royalty, An He would just brush them off.
An He also had not held back against Gu Lang, who was the disciple of a Class 5 Creation Master.
However, this was the Moon Empress’ disciple, and An He had no choice but to show some respect. It seemed that he would have no choice but to let go of the whale fall.
The elderly man was able to maintain his composure after learning of Lin Yuan and Liu Jie’s identity. However, Zhang Cheng was frozen with shock.
After the shock passed, fear gripped Zhang Cheng. But when he remembered the way An He had apologized on his behalf, Zhang Cheng felt warmth seep in alongside his nervousness.
An He reached out his hand to Lin Yuan and said, “Let me see the proof from Raging Waves City.”
Lin Yuan placed the signed document by the Raging Waves Guard Captain into An He’s hand.
When An He saw the Raging Waves City’s City Lord’s stamp and date on the document, he returned the document to Lin Yuan and said, “You can calculate the cost of the losses. I won’t skimp on the compensation.”
The document that Lin Yuan had served An He was a lesson for An He to teach him to proceed from the root upward. Once someone else grabbed the roots before him, all his efforts would go to waste.
…
Although An He had decided to let the whale fall go, he was still indignant to see it slip from his fingers.
An He turned his head and shot a sharp look at the silvery blue-haired girl before saying, “I don’t want the whale fall anymore. Now, we need to settle the matter between us.”
The silvery blue-haired girl ignored An He and said to Lin Yuan, “So you’re the Moon Empress’ disciple? What an honor. My name is Silver Umber Black. I started clashing against them because I wanted to protect this whale fall for you. It’s thanks to my guidance that this whale fall landed here. They blamed me for not allowing them to take the whale fall. You can’t ignore this!”
The silvery blue-haired girl’s words made Lin Yuan’s eyebrow twitch.
A group of whale-species feys would swim around for at least three years to find their final resting place before their life ended.
Since the silvery blue-haired girl was a member of the First Emperor Cutlass Clan, she had the ability to guide the whale to a destination.
But even if you did guide the occurrence of this whale fall, what does that have to do with me? I’ve only been the owner of this island for three days.
It was even more ridiculous for the girl to say that she was stopping An He from harvesting the whale fall. It was obvious that she was here to harvest the whale fall herself and had only clashed with An He because they were fighting over this resource.
When Lin Yuan saw the handprint on An He’s face, he guessed the reason An He was still pursuing the matter despite the benefits being taken out of the equation.
If An He chose to let the matter go after being slapped, he would be no different from a saint.

When Lin Yuan did not reply to Silver Umber Black, it blinked.
Silver Umber Black had already been forced out of possession of the whale fall before it slapped An He. She had only gone ahead with it to vent her anger.
She knew that An He would definitely go after her for doing so. But, she had the ability to slap him as a mature member of the First Emperor Cutlass Clan.
As long as it hid, Long Lamplight would not be able to find it even if he drained the sea.
Without the whale fall, Silver Umber Black would not care less about this unflourishing piece of the sea.
However, Lin Yuan’s arrival had solved Silver Umber Black’s problem to a certain extent.
Additionally, his aura and appearance were very pleasing to Silver Umber Black, and it was dying to talk to him more.
The elderly man, Zhang Cheng, and Sun Jiang’s expressions turned terrifyingly stormy when they heard what Silver Umber Black said.
Just as the elderly man was about to order the Flame-Footed Light Smoke Beast to attack Silver Umber Black, Silver Umber Black said to Lin Yuan, “My sea territory is the region outside Raging Waves City. From one end to another, it spans about 10,000 leagues of sea. If you help me, I can let you pick and choose from the resources within this area. We might be able to mutually benefit and start working together. He said that his Master’s name is Ji Changdeng and that he would like to work with me. I’m not interested in the Radiance Federation’s members of royalty who aren’t Creation Masters. Thus, I’m willing to work with you.”
Before Lin Yuan could reply, An He exploded with anger. He could not only sense the flattery toward Lin Yuan in Silver Umber Black’s tone but also a hint of derision for An He’s Master.
When An He thought about his Master’s circumstance, he could no longer hold back.
He immediately turned and said to Lin Yuan, “I heard you were the champion of the Martial Arts Stage at the Guard Ye Banquet. You must be powerful! I know you badly want to trade with this woman from the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. Let’s have a fight. If I lose, I’ll forget all about this woman and what she did. If you lose, you don’t have to do anything. I only hope you remember that all 13 members of royalty hold equal status. The Moon Empress, Chef Supreme, and Bamboo Monarch aren’t ranked any higher than the other ten members of royalty.”
Lin Yuan was stunned and could not figure out why An He was issuing him a challenge to fight all of a sudden.
But judging from what Silver Umber Black said and An He’s reaction, he felt that An He was simpleminded. He never hid his displeasure and preferred to make his feelings known.
Lin Yuan could tell that An He despised anyone thinking that the Class 5 Creation Masters were above the other members of royalty. Perhaps this was the reason he always sought out fault with Gu Lang and Zong Ze.

Zong Ze and Gu Lang only disliked An He, but they did not resent him.
All 13 members of royalty had an equal duty to uphold the Radiance Federation’s glory and stability. All of them had necessary and vital roles.
Although the Moon Empress, Chef Supreme, and Bamboo Monarch were all Class 5 Creation Masters and the other members of royalty often sought them out to evolve their feys, they actually had no difference in rank once they became members of royalty.
Lin Yuan loved his Master the most, but he also had the utmost respect for the other 12 members of royalty.
However, An He was right in that Silver Umber Black’s words had piqued Lin Yuan’s interest.
