Chapter 3071 We Are Already Friends!
Over the past few days, Lin Yuan had stayed in Fortune Treasure Palace and did not go out again. It was more difficult for Shiny to absorb the Five-Colored Wind Ripping than he had expected.

….
A few days ago, an accident had almost happened during the absorption process. Fortunately, Shiny had sought Lin Yuan’s help in time.

Lin Yuan used a large number of wind-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to enable Shiny to use the Sacred Metal Wind to suppress the Five-Colored Ripping Wind.

Otherwise, if the Five-Colored Ripping Wind suppressed the Sacred Gold Wind’s absorption, Shiny’s essence would definitely be greatly affected.

Lin Yuan, who had been worried about Shiny for the past few days, was not in the mood to accept Sun Youcai and Zhao Chen’s invitations.

Shiny’s condition had stabilized and the Sacred Golden Wind had completely suppressed the Five-Colored Ripping Wind.

Shiny had already begun absorbing the Sacred Gold Wind’s energy as it began controlling the pure wind element.

Lin Yuan was not even in the mood to participate in Traveling Dragon Palace’s trade fair. In any case, even if Lin Yuan did not go, Sun Yin would still bid for the resources Lin Yuan needed.

Wan Ying sat in her office with a horrible expression. She knew that Lin Yuan had participated in the high-end talent auction organized by Zhao Chen through Sun Youcai.

Wan Ying also wanted to provide this channel to Lin Yuan but she had not received an invitation from the Diverse Talent Market.

Lin Yuan had not gone out since he came back and he had been rejecting Feng Qian and Ding Tao’s enthusiastic service. Wan Ying could not help but wonder if Lin Yuan was dissatisfied with Fortune Treasure Palace for not doing a good job.

Ling Muzhuo was about to arrive. If Lin Yuan expressed his dissatisfaction with Fortune Treasure Palace in front of him, not only would Feng Qian and Ding Tao suffer, but she would also be implicated.

Today was the day of Traveling Dragon Palace’s trade fair. Lin Yuan had asked Fortune Treasure Palace for the opportunity to participate in the trade fair.

Wan Ying wondered if she should use this as an excuse to meet Lin Yuan. She could use this opportunity to find out if Lin Yuan had any opinions about Fortune Treasure Palace.

Just as Wan Ying was hesitating, there was a knock on the office door.

Wan Ying nodded at the white tiger licking its claws at the door. The white tiger gently opened the door.

Seeing that it was Feng Qian and Ding Tao standing outside the door, Wan Ying waved at them.

Ding Tao said in fear, “Sister Wan Ying, Traveling Dragon Palace’s trade fair is about to begin. Young Master Lin has no intention of setting off. Do you think we should remind Young Master Lin?

“If Young Master Lin doesn’t have any intention of going, we can’t really leave the quota we obtained from Traveling Dragon Palace empty. Traveling Dragon Palace is holding this trade fair to sell resources. If we remain idle because of this, Traveling Dragon Palace will definitely have objections.”

Wan Ying did not care if Traveling Dragon Palace had any opinions about her. She was more concerned about Lin Yuan’s attitude.

Wan Ying asked Feng Qian and Ding Tao, “Did you see Young Master Lin when you went to deliver food to him last night?”

Feng Qian was the first to speak. “Sister Wan Ying, we didn’t see Young Master Lin but we saw Young Master Lin’s guard. That guard didn’t want the food we sent over but he asked us to prepare some dragon liver and phoenix blood. I think Young Master Lin must have been hindered by something these few days and doesn’t really have any objections about us!

“If Young Master Lin really has any objections about us, he won’t take resources from Fortune Treasure Palace anymore! I think we need to invite Young Master Lin. If we really did something wrong, we can find out from Young Master Lin and correct it in time!”

Feng Qian had never been afraid of anything happening. The first thing she would do when something happened was to think of a solution. She was not as flustered as Ding Tao.

Wan Ying stood up.

“Let’s go and meet Young Master Lin together. Coincidentally, Fortune Treasure Palace has just received a new batch of resources. If Young Master Lin is interested, we can trade this batch of resources.”

Feng Qian once again felt Wan Ying’s cautious attitude toward Lin Yuan.

Feng Qian had thought of currying favor with Lin Yuan, which meant she would seduce him.

As a receptionist of Fortune Treasure Palace, she had obtained an extraordinary friendship with Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was very young and the lifeforms who had lived for less than a hundred years had limited experience, especially those who came from wealthy families. It was rare for them to develop feelings at such a young age.

However, Feng Qian quickly gave up on this evil thought.

Firstly, Lin Yuan’s status was too noble and he had guards by his side. Secondly, once she did this, the impact would be too great. Since she represented Fortune Treasure Palace, Wan Ying would not spare her!

After thinking about it, Feng Qian did not have any strange thoughts about Lin Yuan.

Her and Ding Tao’s looks could be said to be the best, but Lin Yuan did not seem to be enthusiastic about their looks. His attitude was polite and distant. At that time, even if she really took action, she would most likely end up in failure.

Wan Ying had just arrived at Lin Yuan’s residence with Feng Qian and Ding Tao when she saw Lin Yuan walking out with his guards.

Wan Ying immediately went forward and said warmly, “Young Master Lin, I’ve seen that you haven’t gone out for the past few days. I wonder if it’s because Fortune Treasure Palace has done something wrong. If there’s really anything that we didn’t do well, we will definitely correct it seriously so that you won’t have any bad feelings in the future!

“In addition, I just received a batch of supplies two days ago. These supplies are qualified to be displayed as exhibits. If you’re interested, I can take you to see this batch of supplies after you participate in the trade fair.”

Wan Ying did not play any tricks on Lin Yuan because she knew that being sincere to Lin Yuan was her ultimate move.

For someone like Lin Yuan who even Ling Muzhuo cared so much about, there was no need for her to care about her pride in front of Lin Yuan.

Zhan Lu, the person in charge who was far away in Treasure City, had made two consecutive jumps in his rating because he had gotten close to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan raised his eyes and looked at Wan Ying seriously. He could sense Wan Ying’s fawning and enthusiasm toward him, so much so that Wan Ying was willing to trade the resources she had just received with him.

Lin Yuan had always been kind to such people.

The news of him sending a Grade 5 Creator to Diverse City to help Zhao Chen concoct potions would definitely spread. It could not be hidden from Wan Ying.

Lin Yuan had already passed down the order. The intermediate Grade 5 Creator heading to Diverse City was Zhuo Yan, who was familiar with Sun Yin.

Although Zhuo Yan did not become a Class 5 Creator naturally because of her talent and had used some special methods, her ability was definitely one of the best among the intermediate Grade 5 Creators.

“Many thanks to Manager Wan for thinking of me immediately after obtaining the resources. In a few days, an intermediate Grade 5 Creator will head to Diverse City. At that time, I can introduce this intermediate Grade 5 Creator to you. If you need any Grade 5 potions, you can trade with her directly.”

Wan Ying’s heart skipped a beat. Although Lin Yuan did not say what his relationship with this intermediate Grade 5 Creator was, Lin Yuan’s words were equivalent to making decisions for the Grade 5 Creator.

Wan Ying’s serious reception of Lin Yuan was to help Ling Muzhuo and fight for some opportunities for herself.

At first, Wan Ying thought that the opportunity she wanted could only be given to her by Ling Muzhuo. However, she did not expect Lin Yuan to be willing to provide her with an opportunity so that she could obtain the help of an intermediate Grade 5 Creator.

At a time like this, Wan Ying naturally could not pretend to be polite and reject Lin Yuan. She hurriedly bowed to express her gratitude.

“Young Master Lin, thank you for your appreciation and favor. Thank you for being willing to help me get to know this intermediate Grade 5 Creator and trade with them. From now on, if you come to me about Fortune Treasure Palace’s internal affairs, I will definitely help you! Even if it’s something outside of my duty, I will help you privately!”

Feng Qian and Ding Tao were very envious. Both of them were surprised that Lin Yuan would use a resource like a Grade 5 Creator to repay Wan Ying.

This could no longer be described as generosity.

As a high-level manager of Fortune Treasure Palace, Wan Ying had a chance to come into contact with Grade 5 Creators.

However, Wan Ying needed the honor points of Fortune Treasure Palace to ask these Grade 5 Creators for help.

Honor points could only be obtained by contributing to Fortune Treasure Palace.

Honor points were too precious and were accumulated very slowly. It would take thousands of years to accumulate enough honor points to find a Grade 5 Creator to help. Moreover, it was only to gain a Grade 5 Creator’s help. When a Class 5 Creator helped, they had to give additional resources.

Wan Ying had always criticized Fortune Treasure Palace for treating Grade 5 Creators too well. These Grade 5 Creators had joined Fortune Treasure Palace to receive the faction’s support. But in fact, they had not given much back to Fortune Treasure Palace.

Of course, Wan Ying only dared to complain in her heart and did not dare to say these words out loud. If those Grade 5 Creators heard this and were offended, Wan Ying would not be able to bear the consequences even though she was a senior member of Fortune Treasure Palace!

In any faction, the Creators were the highest-level members.

Lin Yuan said, “Manager Wan, I’ve always liked to make friends. If you’re willing to treat me like this, I think we can be considered friends now. I’ve always been generous to my friends. If you have any problems in the future, you can look for me.”

Lin Yuan had never said this to Zhan Lu.

Firstly, Zhan Lu had his own selfish motives when he interacted with Lin Yuan, and the latter could clearly sense it.

Secondly, Zhan Lu did not have the ability and qualifications to be friends with Lin Yuan.

However, Wan Ying was different. Wan Ying could already hold sway in Fortune Treasure Palace. There was not much difference between her and Ling Muzhuo, a Palace Lord of Fortune Treasure Palace.

There were many things that Lin Yuan could not ask Ling Muzhuo for help, but he could trouble Wan Ying.

When Wan Ying communicated with him, she mentioned Ling Muzhuo more than once. This meant that Wan Ying was on Ling Muzhuo’s side.

Ling Muzhuo had nothing to worry about when Lin Yuan communicated with Wan Ying in the future.

Wan Ying wanted to befriend Lin Yuan but she had never thought that she could become friends with him. She was too lucky to be friends with him!

There was no need for Lin Yuan to lie to her about such matters. She would have another way out in the future.

Wan Ying did not forget about Feng Qian and Ding Tao as she said, “Young Master Lin, I’ve been arranging for Feng Qian and Ding Tao to serve you for the past few days. What do you think of them? It won’t be long before Feng Qian and Ding Tao head to other cities to be managers of Fortune Treasure Palace there. When you reach the city where Feng Qian and Ding Tao are, you can arrange for them to receive you.”

Feng Qian and Ding Tao revealed grateful expressions when they heard Wan Ying’s words. The two of them were very glad that they could follow Wan Ying. Wan Ying could still think of them at a time like this!

Winter looked at Wan Ying and thought. Wan Ying is a very smart person. She’s able to help her subordinates at the same time without making Young Master annoyed.

This was because Wan Ying’s words were all for Lin Yuan’s sake.

Lin Yuan looked at Feng Qian and Ding Tao, causing their chests to tighten.

“The two of them are very attentive and considerate. If I have the chance in the future to go to the city where the two of them are, I will definitely stay in Fortune Treasure Palace.

Feng Qian and Ding Tao were overjoyed. They were not happy because Lin Yuan said that he wanted to settle down in their city, but they were happy because of Lin Yuan’s evaluation of them. Lin Yuan’s evaluation of the two of them guaranteed an increase in their rankings.

Feng Qian and Ding Tao did not care if Lin Yuan would come to their cities after this because it was a distant matter.

…

Zhao Chen did not know that Lin Yuan was preparing to go to Traveling Dragon Palace to participate in this trade fair, so he had a lot of opinions about Traveling Dragon Palace.

Traveling Dragon Palace was a local faction in Diverse City—they represented the power of city.

In order to develop Traveling Dragon Palace, Zhao Chen secretly invested a lot of resources into it.

If not for this, Traveling Dragon Palace would not have developed so quickly in these years.

Zhao Chen had invested so much effort into Traveling Dragon Palace. While Traveling Dragon Palace appreciated it, they did not follow Zhao Chen’s wishes to cultivate in Diverse City. Instead, they stubbornly wanted to develop in Extreme Wood City.

Developing a faction in Extreme Wood City would be equivalent to transferring a large number of resources from Diverse City to Extreme Wood City!

Zhao Chen had sought out Traveling Dragon Palace’s First Palace Master, You Tao, several times.

You Tao’s attitude toward him was very good, but what was the use of having a good attitude?

You Tao was unwilling to give up on his plan to develop in Extreme Wood City. In order to deal with the trouble he encountered in Extreme Wood City, he had basically sent most of the foundation of Diverse City to Extreme Wood City.

The more Zhao Chen thought about it, the angrier he became.

If not for Traveling Dragon Palace’s influence, Zhao Chen would not have been able to resist attacking it.

Now, Traveling Dragon Palace was not holding this trade fair to sell resources to promote the development of Diverse City but to use the city’s resources to fill the hole in Extreme Wood City and fight Gray Smoke Stronghold to the death.
