Chapter 1304: I Didn’t Know Young Lord He Deserves That Much Respect

Only those who had attended the Guard Ye Banquet had been able to witness the appearance of the Moon Empress and Chief Guard Ye’s disciples.

There had been no Star Web reporters at the Guard Ye Banquet; even if there were, none of them would have dared to take pictures at such an event. If a picture from any of them circulated around and sparked the ire of the members of royalty, it would only result in a disaster.

Hence, most members of the factions had only heard the name Lin Yuan but did not know what he looked like. It was only because Lin Yuan had also been chosen as a challenger at the Allstar Match that allowed the members of the factions put the name to a face.

Sun Jiang remembered that he had talked about this to Zhang Cheng. But apparently, Zhang Cheng had not watched the recording of this year’s Allstar Match. If he had, he would definitely have recognized Lin Yuan.

If he had recognized Lin Yuan, he would not have spoken to Lin Yuan before An He had the chance to.

After Zhang Cheng was yanked forcefully by Sun Jiang, he immediately turned to look questioningly at Sun Jiang.

When Zhang Cheng saw the looks that Sun Jiang was throwing at him, he wondered if Sun Jiang had gone mad.

Zhang Cheng had been feeling hurt ever since An He glared at him for waking him up. Zhang Cheng had wanted to use this chance to change An He’s opinion of him.

Hence, he ignored the looks that Sun Jiang was sending him and turned to call out to Lin Yuan, “Young Lord He wants this island. You better hand him the proof now! Once Young Lord He settles the matter, he’ll make sure to reward you too!”

Sun Jiang chided himself for only yanking Zhang Cheng aside and not clapping a hand over his mouth as well.

Nothing good ever came from the words that spilled out of Zhang Cheng’s mouth.

This is the Moon Empress’ disciple! You’re just the head of a top faction. What right do you have to speak to the Moon Empress’ disciple in such a way? Even if Young Lord He is Lord Long Lamplight’s disciple, he had no right to say that to the disciple of another member of royalty!

Since there was no way to take back what Zhang Cheng said, Sun Jiang decided to let An He know who Lin Yuan was. Given Sun Jiang’s understanding of An He, he was too far removed from current affairs to recognize the Moon Empress’ disciple.

......

Just as Sun Jiang was about to tell An He who Lin Yuan was, the young man on the giant butterfly coldly snapped. “Why do I have to hand it over just because Young Lord He wants it? I didn’t know he deserves that much respect.”

Sun Jiang gulped and rushed to whisper into An He’s ear, “Young Lord He, this person is Lin Yuan. He’s the Moon Empress’ disciple. The person behind him in the standard Spirit Guards mask is most likely Night Leaning Moon’s disciple.”

It was necessary for An He to know who Lin Yuan was before Zhang Cheng’s instigation caused an actual fight to break out. It was likely that Lin Yuan’s words caused An He’s already bubbling anger to spike.

The situation would be unsalvageable once Lin Yuan and An He started crossing swords.

But Sun Jiang could not take a neutral stance on the matter as a thearch-class expert who left the Bright Light Building to start his own faction.

Nonetheless, there was no point in worrying as it would eventually come down to what Lin Yuan and An He decided to do.

Zhang Cheng was enraged when he heard what Lin Yuan said.

Sun Jiang immediately slapped his hand over Zhang Cheng’s mouth to prevent him from saying anything else. If Zhang Cheng said something disrespectful at this moment and the Moon Empress’ disciple decided to pursue the matter, Zhang Cheng would land in hot water.

An He’s eyes flashed when he heard what Sun Jiang said. He took a deep breath and said to the elderly man who was currently fighting with the silvery blue-haired girl, “Grandfather Gu, stop for now.”

An He turned his gaze onto Lin Yuan, but not before glancing at Liu Jie and saying, “I’m sorry. My uncle only said those disrespectful things because he doesn’t know who the two of you are. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

Zhang Cheng was immediately stupefied. He had no idea why An He was apologizing. The person who had spoken had not shown An He any respect at all, yet An He was now apologizing to him.

In contrast to the ignorant Zhang Cheng, Sun Jiang felt warmth wash over him.

An He had been filled with anger ever since he had been slapped. Yet, he was still willing to speak up on behalf of Zhang Cheng. This proved that he sincerely regarded Zhang Cheng as his senior and not just a servant, even though Zhang Cheng had never done anything in particular to please An He.

Lin Yuan did not continue his haughty demeanor after he heard An He’s apology. However, he was still extremely displeased by the island he saw before him.

The Sea Bliss Clan had put a lot of effort into renovating the island, but it had been completely destroyed by the fight between An He and the sea-clan experts. Lin Yuan would need to rebuild everything in order to develop the island again.

All the Angelfish of Bliss that the Sea Bliss Clan had been breeding had escaped.

“I appreciate your apology. Calculate the cost of the damages caused and leave the island. Everything will be fine if we pursue our own developments without cutting into each other. It’s fine if we fight fairly for resources in a public territory. But if you fight for resources in territory that belongs to someone else, you’re no better than a robber. Young Lord He, I’m sure you’re aware of this!”

An He’s expression darkened, but he did not say anything else.

The elderly man frowned as he looked at Lin Yuan in confusion.

He was An He’s Path Protector and followed An He wherever he went. Since An He had not attended the Guard Ye Banquet, the elderly man also had no clue who Lin Yuan was.

Moreover, Long Lamplight had forced An He to go out to train after the Guard Ye Banquet. As such, the elderly man also had no means of learning who the Moon Empress’ disciple was from others.

An He took a step forward and asked, “Can I confirm that you’re the Moon Empress’ disciple while you are Chief Guard Ye’s disciple?”

Both Lin Yuan and Liu Jie nodded to confirm their identities.

Lin Yuan had removed Sky City’s mask to take over the island as the Moon Empress’ disciple in order to have this interaction with An He.

An He would respect the disciples of members of royalty but not the heads of factions.

From his interactions with Zong Ze and Gu Lang, Lin Yuan could tell how little they cared about factions.
