Chapter 3055: Bizarre Plant Demon Hall!

Su Li spoke directly to Sun Yin, who did not hide anything from her.

Lin Yuan needed a family he could use as a tool. If he chose the Dragon Plum Family, he had to make this clear to them. He released such a message to intimidate both Su Li and the Dragon Plum Family.

Sun Yin was not worried about whether the Dragon Plum Family would spread this matter. Even if they did, it wouldn’t matter. Sun Yin had already confirmed this with Lin Yuan.

If the news spread, it might not be a bad thing. Sky City’s roots were far away in the North of the Lonely River, and those with ulterior motives would not be able to find any traces of Sky City through the Dragon Plum Family.

If this news spread, it would definitely attract powerful factions or experts who needed Grade 6 Creator resources.

Lin Yuan was willing to trade with such powerful experts and factions. This was because trading with these factions and experts would allow Lin Yuan to obtain great benefits.

When Su Li heard that Sun Yin had become a Grade 5 Creator, she was extremely surprised. She knew that Sun Yin was an exceptionally talented Creator. Even so, he became a Grade 5 Creator too quickly.

If Sun Yin was fortunate enough to join a faction with a Grade 6 Creator and obtain guidance, it would all make sense.

Amidst her shock, Su Li’s imagination ran wild. She did not know that Lin Yuan had nothing to do with Sun Yin becoming a Grade 5 Creator.

No wonder Sun Yin was willing to give up his freedom to join this faction!

There were only a few Grade Creators in the entire Sky Beyond the Clouds. If such a big shot could come to Diverse City, the City Lord and the major factions would probably kneel to welcome him.

Sun Yin’s status as a Grade 5 Creator was already very precious. But now, Sun Yin represented a faction with a Grade 6 Creator.

The famous Traveling Dragon Palace in Diverse City would probably immediately put down their arrogance and treat Sun Yin as a distinguished guest if they knew about his situation.

Su Li was very good at seizing opportunities. When she first met Sun Yin, it was she who seized the opportunity.

She had a good relationship with Sun Yin. Otherwise, Sun Yin would not have thought of her immediately upon coming to Diverse City.

Su Li mustered her courage and said, “Brother Sun, I’ve always treated you as my good brother. I wonder if you can bring me along if there’s a chance in the future and give me a chance to be your retainer? If you allow me to follow you, you don’t have to worry that the Dragon Plum Family will affect your work.”

Sun Yin looked up at Su Li, whose eyes were filled with anticipation and caution. He thought to himself that Su Li was really a smart person.

However, in Sun Yin’s opinion, Su Li’s actions were somewhat abrupt. His relationship with Su Li was indeed good, but it was far from the extent where he could change Su Li’s fate at will.

Su Li was desperately creating an opportunity for her future.

Sun Yin was still thinking about how to guide Su Li. But now, he even skipped the leading words.

“Su Li, do you know how many people want to work for me since I became a Grade 5 Creator? But until now, I haven’t had a retainer by my side. You should still remember Ronnie, right? I’ve been communicating with Ronnie for more than 100 years. Ronnie wanted to stay by my side as a retainer, but I rejected her.”

When Su Li said those words just now, she already realized that she had been a little abrupt.

However, since she had already said it, there was nothing she could do even if she was rude.

Su Li was afraid that Sun Yin would think she was going to do something wrong and, because of what he said just now, he would pull away from her.

Ronnie and Sun Yin’s relationship was closer than hers and Sun Yin’s. Moreover, she had not contacted Sun Yin many times in the past few years. Sun Yin had even rejected Ronnie, so he naturally could not agree to her request.

Just as Su Li was contemplating how to steer the conversation away from the awkward topic, she heard Sun Yin change the subject. “Actually, it’s not impossible to bring you along. Coincidentally, I plan to develop some projects in Diverse City in the future. However, I won’t stop you from continuing to stay with the Dragon Plum Family.”

Su Li was a very smart person, which was the main reason Sun Yin valued her.

Sun Yin observed Su Li’s shifting expressions and knew she had understood his implications.

Su Li hesitated for a moment before speaking solemnly, “Brother Sun, I’ll say it again. As long as you’re willing to guide me, I will do whatever you ask in the future. I’ll do my best! If you need anything, the Dragon Plum Family will support you as well!”

Sun Yin’s words made it clear that he wanted to use the Dragon Plum Family as a foundation to develop in Diverse City. This was a huge opportunity for the Dragon Plum Family.

She wondered how happy her grandfather would be when he found out.

A direct descendant like her, who was not valued, could use Sun Yin’s connections to become an even more important figure in the Dragon Plum Family than her grandfather!

And power was what Su Li had always pursued. She had just never had the chance to express her ambitions to the outside world.

Sun Yin patted Su Li’s shoulder.

“Alright, I’ll ask you to help me with my responsibilities in Diverse City from now on. We’ll be having dinner together later. Come and introduce the situation in Diverse City to me. I heard that Traveling Dragon Palace is planning to use resources like blessed lands as exhibits for the trade fair. Do you know about Traveling Dragon Palace’s situation?”

Su Li had been wondering why Sun Yin would go to Diverse City. It turned out the catalyst was the trade fair organized by Traveling Dragon Palace.

“Brother Sun, I know a little about Traveling Dragon Palace, but only superficial matters. The Dragon Plum Family is not qualified to come into contact with a faction of Traveling Dragon Palace’s level. The news we heard is just hearsay. We can’t guarantee that it’s true!”

Su Li was cautious by nature. Now that she had just joined Sun Yin, she was even more so.

She feared she might give Sun Yin false information that could affect his judgment.

“Just say it. I need to come into contact with Traveling Dragon Palace in the future. I heard that Traveling Dragon Palace has basically defeated all the factions of the same level in Diverse City and even suppressed Bizarre Plant Demon Hall.”

When it came to Bizarre Plant Demon Hall, Sun Yin’s expression did not change, but Su Li felt suffocated.

The last time Sun Yin came to Diverse City, he had become enemies with a Grade 4 Creator from Bizarre Plant Demon Hall. This Creator had cornered Sun Yin twice, causing him public humiliation.

Otherwise, Sun Yin would not have left Diverse City in such a hurry. To a certain extent, he had been chased out of Diverse City by Bizarre Plant Demon Hall.

“Brother Sun, you’re right. Among all the factions in Diverse City that fought against Traveling Dragon Palace, Bizarre Plant Demon Hall suffered the most.

“Even one of the three Evil Eye Ghost Curse Trees had its trunk broken by Traveling Dragon Palace. Two of the six Elders of Bizarre Plant Demon Hall died in the battle with Traveling Dragon Palace.

“Now, with the current strength of Bizarre Plant Demon Hall, they are one of the top five factions in Diverse City. However, Bizarre Plant Demon Hall has already completely shrunk. They have given all their resources in Diverse City to Traveling Dragon Palace.

“There’s a rumor in Diverse City that Bizarre Plant Demon Hall might leave to develop in another city.”

At this point, Su Li paused and said in a low voice, “Brother Sun, I think this is just a rumor. Bizarre Plant Demon Hall should not leave Diverse City, which has been developed for hundreds of thousands of years. Bizarre Plant Demon Hall is a very special faction. Leaving Diverse City is equivalent to losing their foundation.

“I keep feeling that the shrinking of Bizarre Plant Demon Hall is the calm before the storm. It will eventually clash with Traveling Dragon Palace. Especially now that Traveling Dragon Palace is clashing with Gray Smoke Stronghold, Traveling Dragon Palace is at a disadvantage in Extreme Wood City. Sixty percent of the experts from Traveling Dragon Palace in Diverse City have been sent to Extreme Wood City.

“Now, it can be said to be the best opportunity for Bizarre Plant Demon Hall to snatch back the resources from Traveling Dragon Palace! I think the people from Bizarre Plant Demon Hall have most likely already contacted the people from Extreme Wood City’s Gray Smoke Stronghold.”

Su Li knew that Sun Yin had not been to Diverse City for a long time and did not know the situation there. Otherwise, he would not have asked about this kind of information that all the factions in Diverse City knew.

Su Li analyzed the situation in Diverse City. In the past, when Su Li and Sun Yin were together, Su Li talked more. At that time, when Su Li was analyzing something, Sun Yin was listening, so Su Li was not afraid that Sun Yin would dislike her analysis.

When Sun Yin heard Su Li mention Bizarre Plant Demon Hall, her tone was extremely careful. He knew that Su Li was thinking about the conflict between him and Bizarre Plant Demon Hall.

Sun Yin indeed hated Bizarre Plant Demon Hall in the past, especially the Grade 4 Creator of Bizarre Plant Demon Hall.

If Sun Yin had not bet on Lin Yuan, he would have definitely beaten up the Creator of Bizarre Plant Demon Hall as a Grade 5 Creator in Diverse City to regain his dignity!

However, now that Sun Yin had joined Lin Yuan and seen a higher perspective, he no longer cared about Bizarre Plant Demon Hall.

Sun Yin was not willing to affect Lin Yuan’s plan because of Bizarre Plant Demon Hall. Of course, the prerequisite was that Bizarre Plant Demon Hall would not cause trouble for him.

“When I was still in Diverse City, I remember that Bizarre Plant Demon Hall wanted to suppress Traveling Dragon Palace. Traveling Dragon Palace couldn’t surpass Bizarre Plant Demon Hall in a short period of time.

“Traveling Dragon Palace has been accumulating for at least tens of thousands of years to rise. They have been holding back all this while, and they only showed their prowess in the past hundred years.

“With my understanding of the people of Bizarre Plant Demon Hall, they must have contacted Gray Smoke Stronghold. I’ve heard about the situation in Gray Smoke Stronghold. They can be considered a top faction in Extreme Wood City.

“Gray Smoke Stronghold is so angry about the expansion of Traveling Dragon Palace. With Bizarre Plant Demon Hall taking the initiative to make contact, they will definitely be very willing to cooperate with Bizarre Plant Demon Hall.

“If they can defeat Traveling Dragon Palace, all of Traveling Dragon Palace’s arrangements in Extreme Wood City will belong to Gray Smoke Stronghold. It seems that Traveling Dragon Palace is in trouble this time!”

When Sun Yin informed Lin Yuan about the situation in Diverse City, Winter mentioned that the Traveling Dragon Palace’s circumstances were far from optimistic. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have sold their blessed land, even if they wanted to expand their power.

Traveling Dragon Palace had the strength to become a local tyrant in Diverse City. However, despite years of accumulation, they were not satisfied with their current status. Overreaching could lead to a significant backlash.

This was something Sun Yin had not considered before. Compared to his talent as a Creator, Sun Yin was not adept at scheming, developing a faction, or strategic planning.

As Sun Yin pondered over discussing this with Lin Yuan, he heard Su Li say, “Brother Sun, if you want to attack Gray Smoke Stronghold, you could collaborate with Traveling Dragon Palace. But this might offend Gray Smoke Stronghold, who is opposing Traveling Dragon Palace, so it may not be worth it.

“However, this would certainly earn Traveling Dragon Palace’s friendship. If you plan to develop in Diverse City, building a good relationship with Traveling Dragon Palace would be highly beneficial.”

Su Li continued to devise strategies for Sun Yin, aware that Sun Yin would not easily let go of the schemes and insults from the Bizarre Plant Demon Hall.

Sun Yin solemnly responded to Su Li’s words, “Su Li, remember that I’m no longer independent. I’ve joined a faction and can’t do anything that would implicate it. You are now my retainer, and I hope you can act accordingly.”

After their conversation, Sun Yin and Su Li arrived at the old residence of the Dragon Plum Family. Sun Yin requested the Dragon Plum Family to keep his situation confidential.

He then returned to the room that Su Zhongsan had personally prepared for him in the old residence. He took out the Thoughts Letter Paper and reported the situation to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had already asked Wan Ying, the person in charge of Fortune Treasure Palace, for relevant information.

Wan Ying’s information for Lin Yuan was more detailed and precise than what Sun Yin had obtained from Su Li.

Su Li suspected that Bizarre Plant Demon Hall and Gray Smoke Stronghold had joined forces to resist Traveling Dragon Palace, and Wan Ying confirmed this.

Bizarre Plant Demon Hall was likely to attack Traveling Dragon Palace during the trade fair. Disrupting this transaction would impact Traveling Dragon Palace’s fundraising.

Lin Yuan’s eyes flickered when he saw Sun Yin’s message.

Lin Yuan typically kept a low profile, influencing those around him to do the same. However, there were times to be high-profile.

Even if Lin Yuan chose to remain low-profile, those around him should not.

[Lin Yuan]: Sun Yin, I authorize you to reveal your Grade 5 Creator status. Use it to gain qualifications to attend Traveling Dragon Palace’s trade fair and bring a few important figures from the Dragon Plum Family. There is solid information that Bizarre Plant Demon Hall and Traveling Dragon Palace will clash at the trade fair.

Initially, Lin Yuan was only interested in the blessed lands and treasures that Traveling Dragon Palace intended to sell. Now, understanding the situation in Diverse City, he was even more interested in Traveling Dragon Palace itself.

Through Sun Yin, Lin Yuan controlled the Dragon Plum Family, but it would be challenging for the Dragon Plum Family to stand out in Diverse City.
