Chapter 1147
Chapter 1147: You’re Heartless
Zheng Kaiyuan’s actions had broken Connected Beast Park’s most fundamental rules.
Even Miao Qi was now looking at him with cold, unfeeling eyes.
Lin Yuan looked at Miao Zhuo with bemusement and asked, “Is what Zheng Kaiyuan said true?”
Miao Zhuo’s mind went blank as it was true that he had spoken against Lin Yuan when he returned to the Miao family.
However, he was not stupid enough to admit it.
He said through gritted teeth, “Lord, Zheng Kaiyuan is lying! I realized I was wrong at the Guard Ye Banquet and have been repenting ever since. How could I have said anything against you?”
Lin Yuan nodded and replied, “It’s all in the past. I hope we can be friends from now on. The more friends, the merrier.”
His words indicated that he no longer blamed Miao Zhuo but wanted to become friends instead. This cemented Miao Zhuo’s position in the Miao family.
Despite being deposed, he could now try and compete with Miao He again.
A fight between the two young masters of the Miao family would indubitably affect Connected Beast Park’s future expansion.
Lin Yuan’s words also showed that he was the type of person who liked to make friends.
This would remove all the Miao family’s confusion about Zheng Kaiyuan being his friend, as they would chalk it up to his habit of making casual acquaintances.
Zheng Kaiyuan had been using his relationship with Lin Yuan to keep the Miao family in the palm of his hand.
He did not expect his attempt at provocation to fail again.
At that moment, he could only grasp at the final string within his grasp.
He took a deep breath and said, “Lord Lin Yuan, Connected Beast Park has prepared many resources for this visit.”
Zheng Kaiyuan looked at Miao He, who was holding on to all the said resources.
Zheng Kaiyuan planned on mentioning the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls the moment Miao He produced the resources.
If he could secure a Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls trade deal with Lin Yuan, he might be able to continue surviving within the Miao family.
Yet, Miao He first took out a Diamond fey storage box and said to Lin Yuan, “I heard you’re interested in Law Source Crystals. Here are 20,000 Law Source Crystals for you. I hope you like them. I would also like to invite you to visit the Miao family’s residence. Connected Beast Park is willing to open our treasure vault to you so that you can pick out something you like as a greeting gift.”
Miao He’s reaction blindsided Zheng Kaiyuan as he did not expect Miao He to invite Lin Yuan to the Miao family residence.
No one had informed him of this intention, but it was impossible that Miao He would have invited Lin Yuan without prior preparation.
Miao Zhenshan definitely knew of this plan.
This meant that the Miao family had never disclosed all their plans regarding Lin Yuan to Zheng Kaiyuan.
Just from this, it was clear that he was nothing but an expendable pawn to the Miao family.
Zheng Kaiyuan hoped that Lin Yuan would not agree to Miao He’s invitation so that he would have an opportunity to bring the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls into the conversation.
Unfortunately, fate deviated from Zheng Kaiyuan once again.
Lin Yuan stood up and said, “Since the Miao family is so sincere, I shall have to take you up on it.”
Miao He looked happily surprised.
If Lin Yuan came to visit the Miao family, the Miao family would finally step out of the shadow of the incidents that took place at the Guard Ye Banquet, and no one would dare to use the conflict to disparage Connected Beast Park.
Miao He remembered that Lin Yuan had a good relationship with Coiling Dragon’s Valley and Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.
However, Lin Yuan had never personally visited Coiling Dragon’s Valley or Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.
Miao Qi and Miao Zhuo looked delighted.
Although Miao Zhuo had decided to take Miao He on, he was still a member of the Miao family and cared deeply about the Miao family’s honor.
Thus, he was still happy even though it was Miao Zhuo who had invited Lin Yuan to visit the Miao family.
Zheng Kaiyuan lost all hope the moment Lin Yuan agreed to go to the Miao family.
Miao Zhi was afraid that Zheng Kaiyuan would say something to spoil the situation, and she quickly added, “Zheng Kaiyuan’s legs are damaged, and his mind is still not well. Miao Zhuo, take Zheng Kaiyuan to get treated.”
Miao Qi said to Lin Yuan respectfully, “In order for Connected Beast Park to express our sincerity, we came here on our signature UFO Nine Lanterns carriage. Please ride back with us to Connected Beast Park’s residence if you like!”
Lin Yuan smiled and replied, “Since the Miao family is being so generous, I shall go along with it. Kaiyuan has lost his legs and can’t walk. He should stay at home to rest. Miao Zhuo and I just got over our differences and are now friends. He can be the one to contact me in the future.”
His words had essentially served Zheng Kaiyuan the death sentence.
Previously, the Miao family needed to rely on Zheng Kaiyuan to contact Lin Yuan. But now, they could use Miao Zhuo for this as well.
As such, Zheng Kaiyuan had become wholly useless.
Lin Yuan told Zheng Kaiyuan to stay at home and rest, so the Miao family now had a reason to make Zheng Kaiyuan disappear forever.
Additionally, Lin Yuan had also talked up Miao Zhuo and gave him even more leverage to compete with Miao He.
Miao Zhuo carried Zheng Kaiyuan out of the mansion with an excited expression.
The moment his back was to the group, Miao Zhuo’s smile vanished, and he looked down at Zheng Kaiyuan with a malicious gaze.
By the time Lin Yuan, Miao He, and Miao Qi seated themselves in the UFO Nine Lanterns carriage, Miao Zhuo had already ridden away on the Eagle Beak Lustrous Phoenix with Zheng Kaiyuan in his arms.
Miao Zhuo said to the terrified Zheng Kaiyuan, “Zheng Kaiyuan, I used to treat you well, right? From the moment you started learning Creation Master skills from Second Aunt, I’ve taken good care of you and brought you to meet other young disciples of top factions. When you got in trouble, I also helped you. Hehe, you sure are heartless.”
He forcefully flipped Zheng Kaiyuan’s body around, so they were face-to-face with each other.
The moment Zheng Kaiyuan looked into Miao Zhuo’s eyes, he gave up on struggling as he knew that his lack of legs would render any attempt at fighting back futile.
