Chapter 1144: None of Us are Stupid

The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen said, “My skirt can absorb both the World Crystals simultaneously. I’ll finish absorbing them in a week. Master, I’ll gain two new sword skills, and there’ll be two new law worlds on my skirt.”

Before Lin Yuan could rejoice, his phone rang.

When he saw the name of the caller, he thought,?What will come will eventually be here.

He had wanted to go to the marsh world and let Feng Shuang, Elder He, and Hu Tian out so that they could start working and prove their worth.

Nonetheless, he had also expected this call from Zheng Kaiyuan, albeit it was quicker than anticipated.

He did not expect Zheng Kaiyuan to visit him so soon after the Zheng family lost the blood pact ultimate fight and before the situation with the Miao family had stabilized.

This indicated that either the Miao family had grown impatient with Zheng Kaiyuan or that the loss of two thearch-class experts had put them in a panicked state.

Without a strong family to support him and after causing the Miao family to lose two thearch-class experts and two World Crystals, Zheng Kaiyuan was now struggling to stay afloat in the Miao family.

When Lin Yuan picked up the call, Zheng Kaiyuan said, “Lord… Lord Lin Yuan, are you available for me to come to visit? My cousins Miao He and Miao Zhuo would like to come along as well. Miao Zhuo would like to apologize for insulting you at the Guard Ye Banquet, and he hopes you’ll forgive him.”

Zheng Kaiyuan mentioned Miao Zhuo with a heavier tone, and a look of realization crossed Lin Yuan’s face.

Evidently, Zheng Kaiyuan hoped he would reject Miao Zhuo and Miao He’s request and had said Miao Zhuo’s name with a different tone to trigger Lin Yuan’s annoyance toward Miao Zhuo.

Apparently, Zheng Kaiyuan was afraid that Miao Zhuo and Miao He would become close with Lin Yuan!

After the blood pact ultimate fight, Zheng Kaiyuan’s only value lay in helping Lin Yuan gain more resources from the Miao family.

However, Miao Zhuo could also be used to achieve the same result.

Moreover, Miao Zhuo was the Eldest Young Master of the Miao family and might be more useful than Zheng Kaiyuan.

As such, Zheng Kaiyuan was basically useless to Lin Yuan now.

At that moment, someone coughed softly from Zheng Kaiyuan’s side of the call.

It was clear that this cough was to remind Zheng Kaiyuan to watch what he said.

Zheng Kaiyuan must be on a hands-free call.

Lin Yuan acted as though he had not heard Zheng Kaiyuan’s innuendo and said, “Of course they can come!”

He checked the time and saw that it was past 3:00 p.m.

If Zheng Kaiyuan and the people from the Miao family visited now, Lin Yuan would still have time at night to go into the marsh world and handle the affairs there.

He would be able to go to the Divine Wood Federation to train through the Space Tunnel in the basement tomorrow morning.

“You should come now. I have time now,” said Lin Yuan before hanging up the call.

The Miao family knew his address, so he did not have to send it.

Zheng Kaiyuan’s heart sank when he heard Lin Yuan’s reply because he now had no way of stopping the people from the Miao family from being acquainted with Lin Yuan.

He had hoped that Lin Yuan would push back the visitation timing so that he would have time to organize his thoughts.

Zheng Kaiyuan could never have imagined that the Zheng family would lose the blood pact ultimate fight against Sky City. This development had thrown a wrench into all of Zheng Kaiyuan’s plans.

What he needed the most now was time to come up with a way for him to continue surviving in the Miao family.

Unfortunately, Lin Yuan had not granted him that much-needed time.

Someone kicked Zheng Kaiyuan viciously on the back before he could come out of his trance of contemplation. The blow was so hard that his wheelchair forcefully started rolling, and the wheelchair almost toppled over as well.

This sudden kick immediately changed Zheng Kaiyuan’s mood from annoyance to anger.

He glared at Miao He, who said indignantly, “Zheng Kaiyuan, none of us are stupid. Why did you mention Miao Zhuo’s name so loudly? Isn’t it stupid to try something at such a time? Grandfather Han and Grandfather Liu died on the ultimate fighting ground in front of so many people because of you. How blasphemous. All their dignity as thearch-class experts was lost. In order to save you and Miao Zhi, the Miao family sacrificed two World Crystals. How can you cruelly try to start a scheme in such a situation?”

Miao He’s voice was thunderous, and speaking so loudly allowed him to vent.

He had always been under Miao Zhuo’a thumb as the Miao family’s Second Young Master.

But even after he became the Miao family’s Eldest Young Master, he had also had to put up with Zheng Kaiyuan.

Miao He hated Miao Zhuo with a burning rage that he punctuated into every word he had said.

Both his words and attitude shouted loud and clear that he did not consider Zheng Kaiyuan a real member of the Zheng family.

Moreover, Miao He had addressed Miao Zhi by her name instead of ‘Aunt’.

This demonstrated that Miao He had no respect for Miao Zhi as one of his elders at all.

Zheng Kaiyuan was still not completely useless.

However, Miao He was smart enough to bring up Han Tianhe and Liu Yanshan purposely.

Their deaths were a serious blow to his grandfather.

The moment Han Tianhe and Liu Yanshan were mentioned, his grandfather’s displeasure toward Zheng Kaiyuan flared.

Thus, Miao He would not be blamed for kicking Zheng Kaiyuan.

When Miao Zhenshan heard what Miao He said, his face contorted with sorrow.

The way Miao Zhenshan looked at Zheng Kaiyuan made all the hair stand up on Zheng Kaiyuan’s body.

A moment later, Miao Zhenshan said in a raspy voice, “Zheng Kaiyuan, you better speak well of Ah He in front of the Moon Empress’ disciple and ask for mercy on Ah Zhuo’s behalf. Do whatever you can to convince the Moon Empress’ disciple to forgive Ah He, got it?”
