Lin Yuan knew that the Zheng family would look for him. To be frank, the Zheng family simply wanted to find out his status.
After calling for the assassinations on Listen, the Zheng family had already consecutively lost two king-class experts. One of them was even a pinnacle king-class expert.
The loss of the pinnacle king-class expert was already enough for the Zheng family to be apprehensive toward Listen. Therefore, before the Zheng family was able to find out the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s backer, they wouldn’t make a move on Listen first.
Since a pinnacle king-class expert was already dead, they would need to mobilize an emperor-class expert if they had to make another move.
The battle between emperor-class experts would involve Law Runes and power of law. It wasn’t like the battle between king-class experts which could be controlled.
If an emperor-class expert was to make a move recklessly, things might go overboard.
At this sensitive period, Lin Yuan had appeared beside Listen. Therefore, the Zheng family was obviously trying to ensure the relationship between Lin Yuan and Listen.
Lin Yuan was also waiting for this opportunity as he wanted to know if it was the Zheng family’s main family or the third lineage that had been targeting the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.
Before Lin Yuan could turn around to talk, Wei Dabao, who had been on the receiving end of Shan Liang’s frenzied attacks, whistled and said, “Zheng Wenbo, didn’t you just receive a beating from your lineage’s brothers? I heard that your father transferred you to study in the Royal Capital?”
“Instead of staying in the Royal Capital, why did you bring your annoying shoehorn face here?” Shan Liang looked at Zheng Wenbo, her eyes filled with contempt and disgust.
The sinister-eyed Zheng Wenbo had already noticed Wei Dabao and Shan Liang, who stood beside them. However, Zheng Wenbo didn’t bother about Wei Dabao’s words as though he didn’t hear him.
However, Zheng Wenbo, whose expression was already sinister, had turned even darker.
When Lin Yuan turned around, Zheng Wenbo extended his hand and pointed at Lin Yuan before saying, “It is just a mask, give it to me, and maybe I’ll let you be my friend.”
Seeing Zheng Wenbo ignore him, Wei Dabao immediately said in a loud tone, “Oh!? It has just been a few months, Wenbo. You know how to act arrogant now, huh?
“People who don’t know you might think your Zheng family’s third lineage has become the main family, and you, Zheng Wenbo, have become the official Young Master Zheng!
“Isn’t that right? Shan Liang?”
When Shan Liang heard Wei Dabao mentioning her, she snorted and said, “Don’t talk to me. Talk to me again, and I will hammer you to death.”
Wei Dabao’s mouth twitched, but his eyes flashed with vague expectations.
Zheng Wenbo’s sinister face instantly turned so gloomy because of Wei Dabao’s words that it seemed like droplets would drip down. However, Zheng Wenbo’s attention was still on Lin Yuan as he thought of his father’s mission.
Zheng Wenbo had a certain level of understanding toward Wei Dabao. Wei Dabao was a collateral descendant of the Wei family, one of the three prestigious families in Indigo Azure City. Therefore, Wei Dabao wasn’t that easy to deal with.
If Wei Dabao managed to pester Zheng Wenbo, the objective of this mission might not be achieved.
Lin Yuan shook his head gently as he saw how Zheng Wenbo glared at him. Lin Yuan said in a clear voice, “If you are talking about being friends, then forget it. I don’t make friends with just anyone.”
“But if you are interested in my mask, I can be generous enough to sell it to you.”
After speaking, Lin Yuan circulated the spiritual power in his body.
As soon as the spiritual power was circulated, the moon-white robes, which were embedded with completely jade-textured beads, instantly lit up. It gave Lin Yuan an indescribable noble aura. At the same time, Hu Quan’s mask with completely jade-textured threads was emitting a gentle and jade-like halo under the afternoon sun.
The halo wasn’t dazzling, but it gave off a seven-colored jade luster. However, it was too eye-catching and didn’t outshine the afternoon sun’s radiance.
As the spirit qi was circulated around the completely jade-textured mask, it emitted an image of a grand city. It felt like a grand city hidden in the clouds and was indistinct.
The moment Lin Yuan’s mask lit up, everyone’s attention was attracted by the seven-colored jade luster.
Wei Dabao was surprised when he saw Lin Yuan’s mask and thought, Holy shit!
Wei Dabao then looked at Zheng Wenbo with a teasing expression.
Lin Yuan only circulated his spirit qi for a moment and stopped. He then looked at the sinister-looking youth and asked, “Still buying?”
Zheng Wenbo didn’t know how to answer Lin Yuan’s question. This was the Indigo Azure Sea Market, and if he said he wanted to buy it, he would need to bring out something equivalent in value.
Zheng Wenbo would be willing to take the resources out of his vault to exchange for rare spiritual ingredients and feys. However, if he bought this jade-textured mask, it was the same as buying a luxury item with no practical value.
From the jade luster of the mask, it seemed like the jade-textured wood thread was already five times the weight of normal wood. It had already reached the level of jade-textured wood that was of absolute grade.
Furthermore, given the weaving method of the mask, only a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman with a Fantasy Breed Wood Weaving House Centipede could do it.
Zheng Wenbo hadn’t planned to trade for any resources in the Indigo Azure Sea Market, so he hadn’t brought many resources with him.
He was the one that looked for trouble first but was now forced to be suspended in mid-air, making things very awkward. However, Zheng Wenbo didn’t understand how this jade-textured mask would emit a seven-colored jade luster.
Lin Yuan spoke again. “The value of my mask isn’t easy to estimate. There is at least a mix of a few dozen kinds of completely jade-textured wood threads in it. If you really like it, then show me your sincerity.”
Lin Yuan wasn’t a high-profile person. He was doing this to show the Zheng family’s third lineage his foundation. He was trying to tell them that he shouldn’t be trifled with.
At the same time, Lin Yuan wanted to find out the true objective of the Zheng family’s third lineage toward the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce.
Seeing that Zheng Wenbo didn’t have a way to step down, Wei Dabao let out a light cough. He stroked his purple hair and gave a comment. “Zheng Wenbo, I know you don’t have money. Stop pretending!
“But don’t be afraid even if you don’t have money. Who knew you would meet me here? Since we had been classmates for two hours. I can give you a loan!”
Zheng Wenbo’s sinister expression immediately broke open as he shouted, “Wei Dabao, can your mouth stop talking like the cotton pants of an old grandma!?”
