Chapter 1001: Leave Family Out of Grudges

Zheng Kaiyuan’s face lit up with delight.

Miao He stared at Zheng Kaiyuan with anger and envy.

He was already suspicious of the relationship between Zheng Kaiyuan and Lin Yuan.

Miao He did not believe that Zheng Kaiyuan was acquainted with the Moon Empress’ disciple.

If Zheng Kaiyuan was not Miao Zhi’s son, Miao He would never have spared Zheng Kaiyuan a second look.

The main young disciples of top factions were not obliged to interact with the disciples of veteran factions.

Zheng Kaiyuan was so close to the Moon Empress’ disciple, but he did not use his connection to ask forgiveness on Miao He’s behalf. Rather, he used it to kick Miao He down another notch.

What an evil cousin!

Miao He had decided that if he could make it over this hurdle, he would put Zheng Kaiyuan on his blacklist, even if their grandfather favored Zheng Kaiyuan.

The two experts with pinnacle Myth III feys were Miao Zhuo’s Path Protector and Miao He’s Path Protector.

But now, they had become Zheng Kaiyuan’s subordinates.

Miao He was full of himself by nature.

Even if Miao He was afraid of the punishment he would receive, he still hated Zheng Kaiyuan with every bone in his body.

Miao He felt extremely sorry for himself. He had not said anything, yet he had to sit by and watch as Zheng Kaiyuan elevated himself.

Nonetheless, Zheng Kaiyuan’s surname was not Miao. Even with their grandfather’s favor, Zheng Kaiyuan was still the disciple of a veteran faction.

However, Zheng Kaiyuan was speaking as though he had also been accepted as the disciple of a member of royalty.

Zheng Kaiyuan had wanted to talk to Lin Yuan more so that they could become closer, but he did not expect Lin Yuan to invite him to his mansion.

This was an unbelievable privilege for Zheng Kaiyuan.

His grandfather had been looking for a way to apologize to Lin Yuan so as to trade for the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls.

If Zheng Kaiyuan could visit the mansion, the matter would be all but settled, and he would be able to join the Connected Beast Park’s Elders.

Then, he would be able to freely use the Miao family’s resources to promote the Zheng family from a veteran faction to a top faction.

The scheming Zheng Kaiyuan did not know that Lin Yuan was doing the same thing.

The only thing that was in Lin Yuan’s mind was that he could use the blood pact ultimate fight to gain pinnacle Myth III Law Crystals.

This would allow him to gain a complete law world.

The Zheng family was a veteran faction that was a century old.

If Sky City could gain all of the Zheng family’s resources, Sky City would be able to expand rapidly.

The Zheng family’s role involved luxury goods. This coincided with the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s role. As such, gaining control of the Zheng family’s resources would help the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce expand its network.

Lin Yuan patted Zheng Kaiyuan’s shoulder as a show of encouragement.

The Depending on Plums Room’s door was closed, but everyone could hear the cries and howls of agony.

They imagined Cai Qing eating the Thorny Underground Grass, and all the hair on their bodies stood up.

None of them could imagine the consequence of eating the Thorny Underground Grass.

A moment later, the door of the Depending on Plums Room opened.

Manager Cai carried out a plate of eel meat. As sweat dripped down his forehead, he said with a trembling voice, “Lord… Lord, Cai Qing has eaten all the Thorny Underground Grass.”

Manager Cai watched as the dignified young man’s lips curled into a cold smile, and he happily replied, “Since Cai Qing has eaten all of the Thorny Underground Grass, you can have the remaining eel meat.”

Manager Cai felt his knees turn to jelly.

The eel meat on the plate was not cooked as it had not absorbed enough fire poison. As a result, the eel meat still contained powerful spiritual poison.

Who would be able to escape unscathed after eating it?

Lin Yuan frowned when he saw Manager Cai’s expression. He felt annoyance rise up within him.

Manager Cai and Cai Qing looked relatively alike, so they had to be related by blood in some way.

But whether they were related or not, Manager Cai had ordered Tian Ningning to be chased out even though she was the one that had almost lost her life. He had even ordered her fey to be captured. This proved that he was no better than Cai Qing.

Manager Cai stood frozen, so Lin Yuan turned his attention to Miao He and said, “I’m an upstanding person. If I made a mistake, I’d shoulder the responsibility myself. Families should be left out of grudges.”

Miao He and the disciples of the rising and veteran factions let out a sigh of relief.

No matter what happened, the consequences would end with him, and his faction would not be dragged into whatever punishment he received.

Lin Yuan asked Tian Ningning, “You’re the one who’s injured. What do you want to do?”

Tian Ningning felt that Lin Yuan was the coolest person she had ever met.

She did not find Cai Qing’s punishment to be cruel at all.

If not for Lin Yuan, Tian Ningning could not imagine what state she would have ended up in. It was likely that the Crystal Horn Brave Deer would be killed after she was chased out.

“Lin Yuan, the only people who hurt me were Cai Qing and Manager Cai. No one else is involved. This person even defended us. My Crystal Horn Brave Deer might have already been bitten to death by the Blunt Wind Untamed Wolf if not for him. So, the only people who need to be punished are Cai Qing and Manager Cai.”

Lin Yuan did not reply immediately. However, he looked impressed by Tian Ningning.

It was a rare virtue to be able to remain objective in such a circumstance.

The flat-nosed young man that Tian Ningning was pointing at said, “Why don’t we all leave our contact details with Miss Tian so that she’ll be able to contact us when she thinks of an appropriate punishment or needs to contact us for anything? As long as she says the word, we’ll do our best to fulfill what she says.”

Tian Ningning’s eyes shone.
