Chapter 514: Chapter 515 Aftermath_1

"My thoughts?!"

Mo Li was startled, he didn’t understand Feng Yuan’s intent, whether it was a casual remark or a test? Without hearing Mo Li’s answer, Feng Yuan rested his hands on the railing and said in a low voice,

"Actually, you agree with those people’s thoughts deep down, don’t you?"

"It’s just..."

Feng Yuan said, displaying a mocking smile on his face,

"They detest that kind of person the most. Don’t talk about who is more noble than whom, everyone is the same in their eyes."

"Maybe after they have supported several rounds of commoners, you will come to your senses."

Mo Li, holding the teacup, remained silent, Hua Yiyou looked at the blurry surroundings and said,

"Perhaps they understand, they just don’t want to understand."

"Besides, does the thought really matter? Do you have any dissatisfaction with his actions?"

"No."

Drinking the last of the tea in his cup, Feng Yuan calmly replied. After a while, Feng Yuan flung the teacup in his hand to shake out any remaining tea, then meandered back into the wooden cabin. Seeing Feng Yuan enter with that look, Yao Yin couldn’t help but say mockingly,

"If I didn’t know you were holding tea, I would have thought you were drunk."

Feng Yuan smiled and looked at Yao Yin,

"Can’t tea intoxicate a person?"

Yao Yin, holding her teacup, gave Feng Yuan a disdainful look and was too lazy to bother with him, Guo Huai, speechless, glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"What are you playing at?"

"Nothing, I’m tired, I’m going to rest."

"By the way, the growth of our Spirit Beasts was paused during the past time. Pu Pu is just excited by the power of the Infinite Dreamscape, don’t get the wrong idea."

Guo Huai, puzzled, looked at the departing figure of Feng Yuan and muttered,

"What does that mean?"

"Ding~ What he means is that Pu Pu hasn’t grown, it’s just a bit excited due to the Infinite Dreamscape, so don’t think it’s about to evolve and start preparing materials."

"So that’s how it is..."

Guo Huai looked at the excitedly fluttering Pu Pu and the dense purple mist surrounding it, if it weren’t for Feng Yuan’s explanation, he might have believed that Pu Pu was at its limit and about to evolve.

"Pu Pu can’t grow here..."

"Ding~ Although it cannot grow, it doesn’t hinder its practice of combat skills."

Guo Huai glanced at the Pu Pu swaying beside him and murmured thoughtfully,

"Forget it, let’s not practice for now, we still have plenty of time, there’s no need to rush this moment."

"Great Yan is actually becoming chaotic at this time?"

After reading the secret report in his hand, the Eldest Prince was somewhat surprised and contemplative. He set down the secret report and walked out of his study saying,

"Someone, accompany me to... Wolf Mountain."

Because the Eldest Prince suddenly decided to visit Wolf Mountain, his residence immediately became somewhat chaotic. The Third Prince, looking at the secret report in his hand with a dark expression, stared in the direction of Wolf Mountain and said,

"You, could you be like him too? Hiding your true strength?"

The Flame Dragon guarding the sky above the Royal Palace of Great Li opened its eyes to look towards Wolf Mountain, contemplated for a while, and then slowly closed its eyes again. The rampage of Yimu Qingling and Drudgeon throughout Great Yan couldn’t be kept secret from everyone, those families and powers that had planted spies in Great Yan were shocked to find that Yimu Qingling, who seemed no different from other Divine Beings, was truly so fearsome in strength.

All at once, all the Temples were swarmed with spies, who tried to probe the true strength of the Divine Lords within each Temple, and the Wolf Mountain Hall where Feng Yuan resided was no exception. Although Feng Yuan stared at these people with a displeased expression, they still pretended to be ordinary worshippers coming to offer incense and prayers.

The Eldest Prince, looking at the deserted Wolf Mountain Hall, said in a low voice,

"Hiding in such a place might be peaceful, but what exactly is your purpose?"

Apart from Wolf Mountain Hall, other more powerful Temples weren’t built on the edge of Great Li City but were also located within villages. Only Wolf Mountain Hall was unique, perched upon the uninhabited Wolf Mountain. Although a small village lay not far from the mountain’s foot, it still seemed somewhat out of place.

"If you wouldn’t disturb me, I’d be happier."

Feng Yuan leaned against a pillar in the main hall, arms crossed over his chest, and with an impatient look, said to the Eldest Prince. The guards following the Eldest Prince, perhaps accustomed to Feng Yuan’s attitude or maybe startled by the information about Yimu Qingling, stared angrily at Feng Yuan but didn’t open their mouths to criticize him.

"I’m afraid you’re about to be even less happy."

"Oh? Why so?"

Feng Yuan looked at the Eldest Prince with suspicion as the latter smiled slightly and said,

"You don’t know about the events in Great Yan?"

"Why must I be aware of what happens in Great Yan? I’m not going to aid you in your campaign against them."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan stared at the Eldest Prince with a peculiar gaze, saying,

"Moreover, I hardly think you have the spare capacity to initiate a campaign against Great Yan."

"Indeed, a fine opportunity wasted."

It was unclear if the Eldest Prince was genuinely regretful or feigning it, but his expression of regret was unmistakably present on his face. Feng Yuan glanced at him and said,

"What do you really want from me by coming here?"

The Eldest Prince gazed at Feng Yuan with a serious countenance and said,

"I need to know the true extent of its power!"

"It?"

"The one squatting in your courtyard!"

Feng Yuan’s eyelids lifted slightly as he looked askance at the Eldest Prince and said,

"Didn’t you know already?"

"Do you really think concealing strength is useful?!"

Feng Yuan scoffed and said,

"Concealing strength? Hasn’t it fought with your nation’s Guardian Flame Dragon? Aren’t you clear about its power yet?"

Seeing Feng Yuan’s genuinely unfeigned expression, the Eldest Prince was filled with doubt and uncertainty. After all, he had heard about that battle. In those circumstances, if the opponent wanted to conceal their strength, they would have had to completely overpower the Guardian Flame Dragon, and he did not believe anyone could achieve that.

The Eldest Prince, somewhat unsettled, still came to seek confirmation about some things. After a lengthy and dubious conversation with Feng Yuan, he left in dissatisfaction. Once again, he didn’t gain much from this encounter; Wolf Mountain Hall remained uncooperative and inscrutable, not revealing any particular secrets. What he didn’t realize was that this was precisely what Feng Yuan wanted him to see.

"It’s truly bothersome. Should I just cast a mist to lock down Wolf Mountain? But that’s not a good idea. It could lead to misunderstandings and cause trouble," Feng Yuan muttered to himself, scratching his head as he watched the Eldest Prince leave. He knew that more spies would come one after another. Although he wanted to cast a mist to lock down Wolf Mountain, it would be problematic if they linked him to Feng Yuan again. With this thought, Feng Yuan determinedly walked back to the backyard, grumbling,

"I don’t care anymore. As long as they don’t come snooping around the backyard, I won’t bother with them. But if they dare enter, I’ll deal with each one!"

"What’s wrong with you?"

Seeing Feng Yuan’s displeased expression, Guo Huai was puzzled. After all, everyone was traveling just as they had been the previous days. Feng Yuan’s sudden show of aversion made him wonder.

"It’s nothing!"

Feng Yuan said impatiently, and Yao Yin glanced at him and remarked,

"What madness are you spouting now?"

"Nothing."

"Then why the sour face?"

The shadow of Agunas looked at Feng Yuan with some confusion, noticing only impatience. After a moment’s thought and a flick of its tail, it said,

"Did something happen at Wolf Mountain Hall?"

Hearing the words of Agunas’ shadow, everyone was startled. They had almost forgotten that Feng Yuan had another identity as the Divine Envoy of Wolf Mountain Hall. Seeing their anxious expressions, Feng Yuan waved his hands, tiredly saying,

"It’s no big deal. Yimu Qingling has caused quite a stir, and now those families, scared, are sending people all over to investigate the power of each Temple’s Spirit Beast."

"It’s one thing for other Temples, but for Wolf Mountain Hall, which normally has barely any visitors, to suddenly have so many people showing up... do they take us for fools?"

Listening to Feng Yuan’s complaints, Hua Yiyou, pensive, commented,

"It’s not necessarily unwarranted. If you can’t help but take action, they might just use it as an opportunity to gauge the strength of Wolf Mountain Hall."

Feng Yuan rolled his eyes sarcastically and retorted,

"Then they’re really overthinking it."
