Chapter 1097 The Feeling of Captivation

Gu Lang had grown up with Zong Ze and naturally took on the role of greeting guests.

While on the way to Zong Ze’s house, Gu Lang had sorted out his thoughts. As reluctant as he was to part with the Golden Thearch Bamboo, it was no longer his. It now belonged to Lin Yuan, who was his friend. He should not desire something that belonged to Lin Yuan.

But regardless, he felt a twinge of reluctance the moment he saw Lin Yuan.

Gu Lang pushed down the ugly feelings and said to Lin Yuan and Gao Feng, “Come! Try the Bamboo Leaf Wine I brought. I used 70 different types of bamboo-species feys to make this wine. I didn’t do much to it so as to preserve the natural bamboo taste. This Bamboo Leaf Wine has only been fermenting for a few months, so it isn’t very alcoholic. You won’t get drunk no matter how much you drink.”

Despite Gu Lang’s cheerful smile, Lin Yuan could tell that something was off.

Lin Yuan thought, Gu Lang must be feeling really sore on the inside!

Lin Yuan had already decided to return the Golden Thearch Bamboo to its rightful owner so that Gu Lang would be able to continue following the Bamboo Monarch’s path.

Thus, Lin Yuan did not use the Golden Thearch Bamboo as leverage to obtain anything from Gu Lang.

Since they had become friends, Lin Yuan opened the box with the Golden Thearch Bamboo and gave it to Gu Lang.

“Here you go. I’m returning this!”

Gu Lang was stunned, and all his feelings of reluctance were as plain as day on his expression.

He suddenly felt his eyes well up, and his throat became choked as he was overwhelmed with emotions.

Gu Lang never expected the Golden Thearch Bamboo to return to him.

He wondered whether he would do the same thing if he were in Lin Yuan’s place.

The word ‘return’ did not seem too appropriate because this belonged to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had only said that he was returning the Golden Thearch Bamboo to its owner to be polite. Lin Yuan was just looking out for Gu Lang’s feelings.

Gu Lang looked deep into Lin Yuan’s eyes as though he wanted to burn the memory of what Lin Yuan did into his mind forever.

Gu Lang had always been an introvert, but he could not help but forcefully pat Lin Yuan’s shoulder and say, “My good Brother, I can’t thank you enough!”

Lin Yuan smiled toothily and replied, “If I didn’t return it to you, not only would you be unable to eat comfortably, but I would too!”

He patted Gu Lang’s shoulder and poured a cup of the Bamboo Leaf Wine.

At that moment, Liu Jie walked out of the kitchen holding a tray.

When he saw Lin Yuan, Liu Jie hurriedly placed the tray on the table and said, “Lin Yuan, Zong Ze is actually decent at cooking!”

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. He remembered Liu Jie saying that he wanted to put his cooking skills against Zong Ze’s.

Liu Jie must have said this because Zong Ze’s cooking skills slightly surpassed Liu Jie’s.

Each plate on the tray was piled with beautiful dishes, and every plate was small enough that one person could finish off the dish with a few bites.

Lin Yuan had seen some of the dishes at Spirit Food Pavilion before, but he had not ordered any of them.

Now, he could try them all.

Liu Jie returned to the kitchen, and Zong Ze soon walked out with another tray.

After walking in and out a few times, Liu Jie and Zong Ze finally finished serving all 300 dishes.

At that moment, a gust of wind kicked up and billowed Lin Yuan’s clothes in Zong Ze’s direction.

Zong Ze immediately picked up the scent that enraptured his entire soul.

The smell had Zong Ze absolutely captivated.

Every time he got a whiff of the scent, he could not help but breathe in deeply.

Instead of sitting at the head of the table, Zong Ze planted himself right next to Lin Yuan, where Liu Jie was supposed to sit.

Liu Jie was completely confused by Zong Ze’s actions.

But since Zong Ze did not seem to have any intention of getting up, Liu Jie shook his head vexedly and sat at the head of the table.

Lin Yuan realized that Zong Ze kept stealing glances at him during the meal.

Lin Yuan’s eyebrow twitched, and he instinctively touched the corner of his mouth several times in case there was something stuck there.

After a few cups of Bamboo Leaf Wine, the group started to discuss the faction.

They could not conduct a proper discussion over a video call, but now they were meeting in real life, the discussion went smoothly and quickly.

They had already separated their roles and ownership portions. All they were doing now was going into the details of their individual roles.

A thought struck Long Tao, and he asked, “Lin Yuan, when will you be able to bring over the high-class Creation Master resources? It should be extremely easy to obtain fire-type spiritual ingredients when we venture into the abyssal world.”

Lin Yuan knew that Long Tao was afraid they would not be able to temper the fire-type spiritual ingredients in time.

There was still some time before the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift officially opened. During this time, Lin Yuan’s team of 50 Hundred Questions Beasts would have been successfully nurtured into pinnacle Class 3 Creation Masters.

Now that Genius had eight Connected Tails, it could even nurture another 50 Hundred Questions Beasts.

As such, Lin Yuan replied, “I will be able to prepare the first month’s worth of high-class Creation Master resources before entering the abyssal world. However, you will need to provide a list of high-class resources you’ll need. I’ll prepare potions, heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, Bronze/Epic feys, and other high-class Creation Master resources according to the list.”

Long Tao was shocked by the amount of high-class Creation Master resources that Lin Yuan possessed.

But at the same time, he was also set at ease.

Zong Ze gazed at Gu Lang with increasing suspicion throughout the meal.

Previously, it was Gu Lang who was suspicious of why Zong Ze was being so friendly with Lin Yuan.

But now, Zong Ze was confused why Gu Lang and Lin Yuan were so close all of a sudden.

They completely settled their collaboration during the meal, and all of them expressed that their own portions would be ready soon.
