Chapter 1435: Mysterious Identity
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There were at least 2,000 Purple Chestnut Crystals on Su Yiren’s spirit qi clothes. As such, there was no way that she obtained all of them from a Class 3 subterranean dimensional rift.
Although she could not place the watch-shaped earring hanging off Su Yiren’s ear, her spirit qi clothes alone were already worth more than 12,000,000 Great Lush dollars. It was even more expensive than the spirit qi clothes and accessories that Lin Yuan was wearing.
Yet, this woman addressed herself as Lin Yuan’s attendant.
Due to this, Li Wan had to reassess who she thought Lin Yuan was.
Previously, Li Wan thought that people had been hypocritical when they said that they wore clothes that suited their fancy and did not pay attention to the value of the clothes. Even pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters could not achieve such humility.
!!
But now, Li Wan believed that such a person existed because he was standing right in front of her.
If even his subordinates wore spirit qi clothes worth tens of millions of Great Lush dollars, were there any spirit qi clothes that Lin Yuan could not afford to put on?
When the middle-aged man brought the wine and fruits, Elder Duan took over the tray for fear that the middle-aged man would lose his composure again once he stepped into the room and laid eyes on Su Yiren.
Li Wan picked up one of the fruits and personally juiced it to serve Lin Yuan’s group while Elder Duan opened the wine for Ji Feng.
Once the seal on the wine was removed, a stinging spicy smell filled the air, and Ji Feng said, “This wine must have been fermenting for at least 80 years. Platinum citrus fruits were added to aid the fermentation. Tiger-species feys’ bones were soaked in the blood and bone marrow of Fantasy Breed dragon-species feys so as to remove the gamey flavor. When the tiger bones’ gaminess and the dragon bones’ flavor clashed, all the sourness and bitterness inside the fruits disappeared. Whoever made this wine was very detailed, and their thoughtfulness is enough for me to know that this is a good bottle of wine.”
Li Wan and Elder Duan froze in shock when they heard what Ji Feng said.
They were already very surprised when he managed to discern the ingredients of the Elephant Bone Wine after just one sip.
But now, he figured out how this alcohol had been made just from its scent. This meant that he was no ordinary wine connoisseur. He must have tested a lot of top-quality wine and many spiritual ingredients that went into making wine in order to train his senses to such a degree.
These details allowed Li Wan to realize how mysterious Lin Yuan’s background was.

Li Wan decided to be open about her intentions. She looked at Su Yiren and said seriously, “I would like to represent the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce to request a working relationship with you. Young Master Lin mentioned he would like to work closely with us, but he left in a hurry before we could settle the deal.”
Su Yiren could not help but think to herself how blessed Li Wan was.
If Lin Yuan wanted to work with her, it would be a huge blessing for the entire Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. Yet, even after missing the first opportunity, it did not disappear and fell in her lap again.
However, Su Yiren did not agree with what Li Wan said about working closely with the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.
Su Yiren said calmly, “President Li, I’m sure you’re aware that the term ‘working closely’ isn’t apropos when it comes to our Young Master. A collaboration suggests that both parties are of equal standing and benefit each other to the same extent.
“It goes without saying how our Young Master will be able to help the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. However, I fail to see how the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce will be able to benefit our Young Master.
“If you only want to work with us, there’s no point in us wasting our breath any longer. There are hundreds of both strong and weak chambers of commerce in the Divine Wood Federation. As long as our Young Master reaches out a hand, he will be able to raise the weak ones to the heavens while crushing the strong ones. The pair of Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts is proof of my claims. So, we can only proceed if you dig deep and show your sincerity.”
Although Su Yiren’s tone was calm, the meaning behind her words hit strongly. Everything she said hit a key point, and Li Wan had no choice but to face the matter head-on.
Before they arrived, Su Yiren had asked Lin Yuan about the details of his trade with the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce. However, she did not know that Lin Yuan had wiped out the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.
Su Yiren was able to push Li Wan into a corner during their discussion using only the scarce information she had. This showed Lin Yuan how impressive Su Yiren was.
Lin Yuan had come to discuss a collaboration.
After Li Wan expressed her wish to collaborate with him, Su Yiren immediately altered the plan to ensure that Lin Yuan’s group could maximize their benefits.
From this, it was clear to see how talented Su Yiren was at strategy.
However, Lin Yuan was unsure if she or Wen Yu was better as they excelled in different areas. Wen Yu was skilled at gathering and organizing information, while Su Yiren was adept at socializing.
It was clear that Su Yiren’s words had hurt Li Wan’s pride.
Li Wan had just felt intense love toward Lin Yuan. But Su Yiren’s words had pointed out the distance between Li Wan and Lin Yuan.
The urge to leave the meeting room rose within Li Wan. But when she thought about the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce’s situation and her father’s last wishes, she forced herself to calm down.
After another coughing fit, Li Wan said, “Our Prosperous Chamber of Commerce isn’t a top chamber of commerce. We can only offer you our resources as a chamber of commerce or our shares if you want to invest in us. Regardless of which of these you are interested in, I can only trade our shares.”
A conflicted look came over Li Wan.
Su Yiren did not speak so that Li Wan would be able to think the matter through carefully.
Eventually, Li Wan took a long look at Lin Yuan before saying to Su Yiren, “Most of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce’s shares lie in the hands of the elders of the Li family. I might be the president of the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce, but I only own 40% of the shares. I am willing to give all 40% of the shares to you. However, I have two conditions.”
