Chapter 904: Chapter 905 Preparing Gifts

"These will trouble you, but you must deliver them for me, all right~"

Gladys pushed the packaged gifts to Lanadi and said, the latter somewhat surprised, remarked,

"Are there really that many?"

"They are just a bit large, that’s all, not actually that many."

Gladys, with a somewhat dim expression, commented as Feng Yuan enviously said,

"I’m much worse off, just walking around outside, I can only bring back gifts for a few classmates and nothing more."

"You could consider bringing back gifts for me. After all, we’re friends now, aren’t we?"

Gladys said with a charming smile, while Feng Yuan scratched his head and beamingly replied,

"Well, I could, but I probably won’t be going out again anytime soon, so, likely, I won’t have any gifts to give you."

"I’ll remember that remark of yours, and I’ll be looking forward to the gift you bring for me~"

"Alright, once your side is ready, we’ll make a trip to Maomu Academy. He’s in training and can’t bring the items to us."

"Let me know how much money or what is needed in exchange, just tell him to name his price, as long as it’s not too outrageous."

"No need, Najia said that it can be given for free, after all, that thing isn’t much use to anyone."

True, the quantity was rare, but its actual value was indeed difficult to gauge. As a rare Spirit Material, it almost couldn’t enhance any Spirit Beast’s capabilities. As for decoration? Most designers didn’t even know of its existence, let alone how to use it.

Moreover, no one had seen materials like it before, and the average person didn’t have the capability to utilize it, especially when they couldn’t even figure out its special properties or how to process it to look good. Feng Yuan was the kind who could use it for decorative purposes. In doing so, later on during promotions, Thousand Stars City could use it as a publicity gimmick.

Added to that was the special effect Feng Yuan mentioned earlier—if he really could create a natural display of the starry sky during the day, that indeed would be quite impressive. This was why Lanadi was hoping Feng Yuan could help acquire it.

"We can’t accept that, we don’t have the habit of taking things for free, and besides, although its value is hard to define, it’s not some cheap thing."

Lanadi refused, as she didn’t see the need to take such an advantage. The money wasn’t coming from her personally but from the Thousand Stars Tribe and the smaller tribes allied with them—there was no need to spend her goodwill for such benefit.

"That’s true; there’s no need for it."

Feng Yuan came around and nodded in agreement, feeling that this wasn’t necessary. But considering it was a collective matter for the Thousand Stars Tribe, he looked worriedly at Lanadi and asked,

"But in that case, if the design isn’t accepted, wouldn’t that be..."

"No, that won’t happen. I and she both think the blueprint is quite good, and there won’t be much opposition within the tribe. As for the smaller tribes, as long as it’s not too shabby, they’re actually quite accepting, not to mention that the Starview City is by no means subpar."

Lanadi explained that while she had to work for the entire tribe day in and day out, correspondingly, her suggestions, as long as they were not too preposterous, others wouldn’t refute them—otherwise, what was the point of her presiding over everything?

"It’s a rare privilege you have, though it’s of little use."

Gladys complained from the side, to which Lanadi smiled slightly and said,

"This is everyone’s trust in me, how can I let them down?"

"Really, I don’t know what to say to you."

"Your identity really isn’t simple."

Seeing Feng Yuan easily let the three of them into Maomu Academy by showing his own credentials, Lanadi said with some surprise. After all, as an investigation officer of the Alliance and not affiliated with those nations, she definitely couldn’t do this. It was common knowledge that investigation officers weren’t allowed to enter other schools for investigations at will.

But ordinary people couldn’t just bring outsiders into an academy either. Those students emerging from the academies might all be fairly strong, but that’s relative. Compared to the average person, yes, they’re stronger, but are any troublemakers not much stronger than the average person?

If those troublemakers were to infiltrate the academy, it would pose a danger to the students who had been there less than a year. Therefore, the academies usually had strict restrictions on who could enter and exit—only during events, due to increased security patrols, where outsiders might be allowed to come and go freely.

"What’s so special about it? As a person from Great Xia with a few Divine Beasts following behind, you too could freely bring people in and out of most academies."

Feng Yuan said nonchalantly. Although this wasn’t actually possible, who else could manage it but him? Since Gladys had spent quite some time in Maomu City, she could guess the real situation. However, she didn’t want to expose him; after all, it’s just coddling Lanadi—a trivial matter.

"Really? Why do I feel like you’re trying to fool me?"

Lanadi eyed Feng Yuan skeptically. Although she wasn’t very clear about the specifics in Great Xia, as an investigation officer for the Alliance, she knew the usual procedures. The idea of having Divine Beasts and getting face clearance? She wouldn’t believe it. After all, who dare say those Divine Beasts weren’t simply other Spirit Beasts in disguise by some deranged individuals?

Moreover, with unfamiliar Divine Beasts, who could say if they were friend or foe? If they were enemies, wouldn’t that just be asking for trouble? While ordinary people might not be a match for Divine Beasts, those creatures wouldn’t stoop so low as to deal with humans directly on a whim.

Just prevent them from bringing strange people in, and as for citizens of their own nation? Traitors and spies aren’t unheard of, so who could guarantee there aren’t any?

"What do you think it is?"

Feng Yuan smiled and turned to Lanadi, who pondered for a moment before saying,

"It must be because you’ve helped the authorities in Great Xia, so you enjoy this kind of privilege. And the help wasn’t minor, by any means. Wait, don’t tell me Lorraine Tower was hinting that they stand with Great Xia because of you?!"

Lanadi suddenly thought of Lorraine Tower’s confusing actions. Everyone initially didn’t suspect this because Feng Yuan hadn’t appeared before everyone directly, and their attitude towards Great Xia wasn’t very clear—at least they couldn’t believe that someone who had stayed in Great Xia for only three years would feel a strong sense of belonging there.

It was unfortunate that nobody knew where he lived before high school. Otherwise, that place would definitely try their hardest to take him back. And to say he was a native of Great Xia? If that were true, why would he remain in Maomu City as an orphan? And Great Xia hadn’t found his parents?

But what everyone didn’t know was that Feng Yuan was actually not from this world. Therefore, Great Xia, his first landing place, was regarded as his nostalgic land in this new world. Of course, some people were aware of Feng Yuan’s actual situation, such as Chen Xin, who was clearly informed, and some others guessed it through certain events.

"Mm-hmm~ I didn’t say anything~"

Feng Yuan said smugly, his expression clearly bragging about his good deeds. Gladys pinched a card and tapped her chin, saying,

"I had guessed as much. And that Big Explosion at the border was your doing as well, wasn’t it?"

"No, it definitely wasn’t. At least, it wasn’t just me who did it."

"Oh?"

Gladys looked at Agunas with an enigmatic expression. Could he have been involved? As for Veronia? She knew the other had been in the Ancient Ruins at Lake Bai Dao all along and couldn’t possibly be involved in this matter.

"Let’s drop it; it’s not something to be proud of."

Lanadi gave Gladys an exasperated pat, suggesting that bringing up the truth now could cause big trouble if leaked. After all, that explosion hadn’t just affected the border area; Emperor Savidi, who was enraged at that time, had caused quite a mess for the surrounding nations.

If those nations learned that Feng Yuan and his group were behind the explosion, they might seize the opportunity to demand reparations or forbid them from participating in the war with Great Xia.

"It’s all speculation, anyway. And they’re not fools."

Gladys said with a slight smile. Veronia looked at Feng Yuan enticingly,

"Actually, if you let me take action, they wouldn’t be able to threaten Great Xia."
