Chapter 2891 Feng Qing's Concerns!
Chapter 2891 Feng Qing's Concerns!
Despite the Bloodians' long history, it was still extremely difficult to produce even one Bloodian Queen.
There were fewer than 16 Bloodian Queen clans, and none of them were named Elise!
Hence, Andra needed to do their best to learn about Lin Yuan's situation.
The Chaos Wind Demon Wolves only detached themselves from the Moon-Worshiping Wolves recently. Less than 10,000 years had passed. Hence, the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves did not have much of a history to speak of.
Lin Yuan would be exposed easily if he absorbed the Chaos Wind Demon Wolf and pretended to be one.
He dared to pretend to be a descendant of a Bloodian Queen because the Bloodians had a very long history.
In that lengthy history, many clans had chosen to leave the public eye and develop outside of the Scarlet Territory. These clans occasionally returned to the Scarlet Territory to develop. This made it very difficult for the Bloodians to keep a detailed record of all the clans.
Andre did not manage to glean much information from Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan's attitude deterred him from asking any more questions.
But this did not stop him from becoming certain of Lin Yuan's identity.
This young Bloodian acted cavalier in response to his questions. It was as though he did not think much of the Andra clan.
It was likely that this young Bloodian named Black Elise came from an extremely powerful clan. Otherwise, even with the queen bloodline, he should not be acting this way towards an Elder of the Andra clan.
Lin Yuan had given his name during his conversation with Andre.
Given that he was trying to entrap the Bloodians, there was no way he could use his real name. As such, he brought up the double-identity name Black once again.
"Black, I overstepped. If you don't want to talk about your family clan's situation, I won't ask about it. The Andra clan is willing to receive a friend like you warmly. I hope you'll join tonight's banquet. During the banquet, we will serve you the blood wine we've been treasuring for thousands of years. I heard from Feng Xuan that you want to trade with us. What would you like to trade for? We, the Andra clan, are an excellent trading partner!"
Andre put on an amicable display, and Lin Yuan did not intend to say much.
However, Feng Xuan had revealed almost all the information he knew, including Lin Yuan's intentions for trade.
Lin Yuan had seen through Feng Xuan during their initial interaction. He had expected Feng Xuan to tell the Andra clan everything about their encounter.
Lin Yuan wanted to use Feng Xuan to steer the Andra clan towards initiating a trade with him.
Feng Xuan did not let him down!
Lin Yuan lightly rapped the armrest, producing soft knocks.
"Feng Xuan is right. I do want to trade. But I only trade with friends. With the way the Andra clan is treating me, I don't think you see me as a friend."
Lin Yuan let out a sigh and took out an intricate brooch that he pinned to his collar.
It was red and shone brightly. However, compared to Lin Yuan's eyes, this brooch was nothing more than ornamental.
When both sides did not know each other, the best way to get the other side to take one seriously was to show off.
He had traded for this brooch from Fortune Treasure Palace. It was nothing more than decorative. But the red gem in it was special.
The Blood Moon Red Crystal was able to speed up the condensation and gathering effects of blood energy. When worn by other species, it could trigger the liveliness in their flesh. But when worn by Bloodians, it became a sacred item that could increase their power!
This was akin to the relationship between the spirit qi professionals and Spirit-Siphon Goldfish in the main world.
This medal only caught Lin Yuan's attention because of Blood Love.
It was not difficult to find the Blood Moon Red Crystal, but one as large and transparent as this was undoubtedly a rare treasure. Otherwise, it would not have been displayed on the 13th floor of Fortune Treasure Palace. The brooch Lin Yuan took out casually generated a large reaction from Andre. Andre was shocked by Lin Yuan's depth of resources, and he wanted more than ever to establish a trade between his clan and Lin Yuan.
"Black, you misunderstand. How could the Andra clan not see you as a friend? If my question angered you, I am willing to apologize to you sincerely!"
Andre lowered his head apologetically towards Lin Yuan, his body slightly bent as well.
Lin Yuan knew that he needed to stop speaking soon.
When Andre was acting in such a manner, he might end up with a negative result if he did not reciprocate.
"Since the Andra clan is willing to see me as a friend, of course, I'm willing to trade with you. But I have yet to sense the Andra clan's sincerity. I have only just returned to the Scarlet Territory and don't understand the Scarlet Territory well. Will you tell me a little about the Scarlet Territory's current situation?"
Lin Yuan said this to reveal information to Andre while also trying to learn about the Scarlet Territory from this Bloodian.
Both Fan Lou and Feng Xuan's knowledge of the Scarlet Territory was very limited.
A look of understanding appeared on Andre's face. It turned out that this young man's clan was not currently present in the Scarlet Territory. This was why he had never heard of the Elise clan.
It was likely that the Elise clan had left the Scarlet Territory during a messy time in the Bloodians' history.
Given that this clan had sent a true descendant to the Scarlet Territory to make contact with the other Bloodians, it was likely that they wanted to return to the Scarlet Territory.
It was unlikely that the Elise clan had connections to any other clan. Otherwise, they would not have approached the Andra clan without a plan in mind.
The Andra clan was only a mid-level clan in the Scarlet Territory. Seeking power to elevate their position in the Scarlet Territory was not a reliable plan.
It was not so easy to increase the power of a clan. It took centuries.
The best way for the Andra clan to elevate their position in the Andra territory was to establish beneficial networks. The Elise clan was an ally with excellent potential!
"Of course, that's no problem. However, the Scarlet Territory's situation is complicated. I can only give you a general description. The Andra clan's legacy is a long one. The clan keeps records of all the major events in the Scarlet Territory. I can send a request to the Elders to see if I can help you get a look at the records."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up. If he could read the Andra clan's records of the Scarlet Territory, he would be able to gain a decent understanding of the Bloodians.
Lin Yuan asked this question not only to gain an understanding of the situation in the Scarlet Territory but also to throw out a bait that would lead Andre to voluntarily bring up the clan who were about to open the blood pool.
"I will have to trouble you to tell me about the Scarlet Territory's situation then!"
Lin Yuan took out a brocade pouch and gave it to Andre before saying, "Since you're willing to take the time to tell me about the Scarlet Territory, this is the compensation you deserve."
The Bloodians were a species that cared a lot about appearances. An elite Bloodian spent more resources annually on rewards than on increasing their own power.
Lin Yuan was essentially giving Andre a reward, and this did not sit well with Andre because he did not see himself as inferior to Lin Yuan. But it was clear that Lin Yuan saw himself as above him.
Andre did not express his displeasure. When he opened the brocade pouch and looked at the resources inside, all of his displeasure vanished.
He felt that he needed to re-evaluate the Elise clan's power.
Given that the Elise clan's younger generation was able to carry around something as expensive as this to give away as a reward, it meant that they were extremely wealthy.
If the Andra clan could trade with the Elise clan, they would definitely be able to receive significant benefits.
After receiving Lin Yuan's reward, Andre became serious when he started describing the situation in the Scarlet Territory.
"The biggest event happening in the Scarlet Territory now is that the Elisa clan is preparing to usher in the birth of a new queen and is opening a blood pool."
Andre brought up this matter casually. While he was speaking, he could sense that Lin Yuan was rather interested in the matter.
Andre began to explain this matter in more detail, "Mr. Black, The Elisa clan is a very famous and well-respected clan. They have had two queens so far. Their willingness to open a blood pool means that the queen that is about to arise must have been assessed. The Elisa clan is about to gain another queen!"
At this point, Andre thought of the Andra clan's current plan.
The Andra clan had even contacted the four major species of the Lonely River in order to obtain the blood tide that emerged from the blood pool.
If they could tell this to the four major species of Lonely River, they could tell Lin Yuan about it as well.
If Lin Yuan had the intention to go there, he could even become helpful to the Andra clan.
Andre could sense that the followers by Lin Yuan's side were very fearsome. To Andre, inviting Lin Yuan to participate in his clan's plan was just as important as completing the trade.
Andre planned to tell the Elders about Lin Yuan's situation in detail. They had to increase the scale of tonight's banquet so Lin Yuan could sense their sincerity.
After Andre left, Lin Yuan pondered over the way that Andre looked at him as he was about to leave. He knew that his plan had been very successful.
Meanwhile, Feng Xuan was summoned by Feng Qing again after a long time.
As the first one to interact with Lin Yuan, Feng Xuan had been called and questioned by the Andra clan's Elders more than once.
From all the questioning, Feng Xuan could clearly sense that the Andra clan's attitude towards Lin Yuan had changed.
The Andra clan had definitely ascertained Lin Yuan's identity. Otherwise, the Andra clan would not have organized a special banquet for Lin Yuan.
The Andra clan was currently treating him better than they were treating Fan Lou. This feeling of being above Fan Lou made Feng Xuan happy.
It was because of this smugness that Feng Xuan did not hang his head in front of Feng Qing like he usually did. He let the smugness get to his head and forgot how much Feng Qing cared about being respected.
Fan Lou was valued by Feng Qing because of the way that he acted towards Feng Qing. Despite successfully returning from the Bloodian's operation, he remained humble.
This was the same even now that he was being treated like an honored guest by the Bloodians due to his relationship with the Four Species Overlords.
Feng Qing frowned and asked Feng Xuan, "Feng Xuan, I heard that you brought a true Bloodian to the Andra clan. Do you know his background?"
In truth, Feng Qing did not want to be involved with the Bloodians.
Although becoming involved with the Andra clan would strengthen the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' link to the Bloodians, it also came with risks. There were always risks when one spent time next to tigers.
Feng Qing already regretted allowing the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves and Bloodians to become this close.
The Bloodians did not give resources to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves for no reason. Their connection to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves was more one of protection.
When the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves became closer to the Bloodians, they gained less than what Feng Qing had expected.
Feng Qing was already trying to come up with ways to detach himself from the Scarlet Territory and return to the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' territory.
Yet, Feng Xuan ended up deepening the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves' relationship with the Bloodians.
Feng Xuan did not have the capabilities to become acquainted with a true Bloodian. Their meeting was either coincidental or premeditated by that true Bloodian.
Feng Xuan had brought such an unstable element into the Andra clan. This was in direct opposition to the Andra clan's safety.
But Feng Xuan was completely wrapped up in arrogance.
If he did not know that this true Bloodian was already being treated as a guest of honor by the Andra clan, Feng Qing would be punishing Feng Xuan now!
"Lord Feng Qing, this Bloodian comes from a clan called Elise. They have the bloodline of a queen."
Feng Xuan had repeated this line at least four times today. But he had not been annoyed at all by this. Rather, he saw it as his privilege.
Feng Qing took a deep breath and casually waved his hand to gesture at Feng Xuan to leave.
Feng Qing was suspicious by nature. He had been suspicious of Fan Lou for a long time because Fan Lou had saved the Dark Pufferfish's important members and used them to become linked to the Bloodians.
Feng Qing could not believe Feng Xuan's good luck. He could not shake the feeling that this matter would affect the Chaos Wind Demon Wolves.
But now that things had played out this way, Feng Xuan and this Bloodian could no longer do any harm.
