134 The Annual Mee (2/2)
At this point, Xie Lingyun knew that Liu Yan was crazy. He would want to obtain those supplies needed for the breakthrough at any cost.
...….
”The city master and the ambassador of the royal family have arrived!”
In the main hall, as the guests heard the arrival of those two, they immediately stopped whatever they were doing and looked at the two who had just arrived.
”Hehe…..A new year, a new beginning. Today is the start of the new year and with the well wishes from the royal family, all of us shall have a good drink!”
Liu Yan sat in his seat and said while drinking his wine.
”To the city master! To Xia Country!”
The guests then toasted and drank at one go.
As everyone was drinking, Fang Yuan took this chance to take a glance at Liu Yan and Xie Lingyun. Both of their faces were normal and both didn't look happy or angry. No one knew how their conversation had gone. Both of them maintained the look of a host.
'She thinks she can hide from everyone but she cannot hide from me…..This lady seems to be troubled by certain matters…..Looks like there are a lot of things happening in Xia Country...'
Fang Yuan sighed in his heart and took a quick glance at Liu Yan.
He could feel that the flame in Liu Yan was getting stronger. His magical energy was flaming and he seemed to be merciless.
'Liu Yan's cultivation had improved again. Looks like this was Lu Renjia had left behind after his death…..'
Even since that alchemy master was dead, even though Fang Yuan had taken a copy of the alchemy related books from the dead master, Liu Yan had kept the spiritual plants and spiritual pills that were made long ago for himself and didn't share any of them with Fang Yuan.
It seemed that with the help of the spiritual pills, Liu Yan's cultivation was able to improve and it looked like he could make a breakthrough for the Elemental Opening Realm anytime. No wonder he was so aggressive.
After all, if he managed to achieve the Elemental Opening Realm, he would be ranked number 1 among all other spiritual knights in this country and also the nearby countries!
Not to mention defeating Summer Sun Prefecture, not many would be able to stop Liu Yan if he chose to exterminate the whole of Xia Country and rule it.
After the banquet, a servant came to Fang Yuan and whispered to him that the city master would like to meet him.
Fang Yuan was sighing silently and thought that it didn't seem like a good thing. However, he still followed her to the study room.
”I'm here!”
Under the bright light, Liu Yan was seen standing with his hands behind his back and his back was facing Fang Yuan. He seemed to be enjoying an art piece that was hanging on the wall.
”I have seen you before, city master!”
As Fang Yuan got nearer to Liu Yan, he could feel a stronger pressure from Liu Yan and it felt as if Liu Yan's magical energy was about to blow up.
”I see that your essence, magic and spirit have changed a lot. Looks like you have improved a lot and I'm ashamed of myself.
Since Fang Yuan was becoming the dream building master, he had quite a big improvement in the Elemental Gathering Realm and therefore, his breath was different.
If the current Liu Yan who was in the room now was the Liu Yan that had not have any improvement in his cultivation, that Liu Yan would probably not be able to detect that Fang Yuan had improved. Fang Yuan was feeling serious and replied, ”I only manage to cultivate another spiritual spell…..City master, you have sharp eyes indeed!”
”I see!”
Liu Yan nodded his head.
He didn't expect that Fang Yuan could achieve the high Elemental Gathering stage in just a short period time and Fang Yuan was now not far from his.
Fang Yuan had also cultivated a few strange spiritual spells, and hence there was a change to his breath. Hence, he agreed with what Fang Yuan had told him.
”What do you have for me, city master?”
Fang Yuan bent his body slightly and asked.
”Don't you think that after Lu Renjia is killed, both of us are not as close as before?”
Liu Yan then continued with a wry grin. ”Not only you, even for my men. I'm now only closer to Taoist Mu Li...”
As he spoke, Fang Yuan became alert but was surprised.
'I didn't expect Liu Yan to trust Taoist Mu Li the most…..Hang on, he is actually an evil person on the inside but has pretended to be a good person. How many spiritual knights can I actually get along with?'
Fang Yuan was a little jealous of Taoist Mu Li and started to make guesses about him.
”I have the intention to attack Summer Sun, and hence I will need your help once again!”
Liu Yan didn't even wait for Fang Yuan's opinion and instead, he listed his request out straight away.
”I'm not capable enough, I'm afraid…..”
Fang Yuan shook his head and didn't accept Liu Yan's request.
He was not that crazy enough to follow Liu Yan and go against the whole of Xia Country.
If Liu Yan had already broken through the Elemental Opening Realm, he could still consider.
”Hmm?”
Liu Yan frowned and turned around. Fang Yuan could instantly feel a great amount of pressure going towards him.
”I'm living alone and prefer to be separated from the rest of the world. If you do not have anything else for me, I will take my leave first!”
Fang Yuan did not show any fear.
He was a spiritual knight that had reached the high Elemental Gathering stage. Even if he couldn't manage to defeat Liu Yan, he could still be able to escape away from him!
His Iron-tailed Black Eagle was circling above and standing by!
Since he had an escape route, he had nothing to be afraid of.
”If you are willing to help me, after the war, I will let you take on the role of the Prefecture Master!”
Liu Yan also knew that using his power as a city master to force Fang Yuan was the worst method, hence he brought up the conditions.
”Hmm?”
Fang Yuan was startled and said, ”Since city master, you don't have the intention to rule the Summer Sun, why do you want to invade it still?”
”There is a saying that even if there are thousands of people stopping me from doing it, I will still bravely do it!”
Liu Yan's reply was decisive.
