Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 578: The Anonymous Message From Afar

The jade-textured wood in Lin Yuan’s Spirit Lock spatial zone was constantly maturing.

Almost all the furniture in the mansion’s main residence was made of jade-textured wood, and each was well-made. Thus, Lin Yuan no longer needed to set aside the jade-textured wood for the mansion’s construction.

This allowed the jade-textured wood to become resources that Lin Yuan could trade.

Lin Yuan waved his hand, and ten large jade-textured wood planks appeared by his feet.

“Since you’re going to hold an online auction, I’ll provide you with some good materials so that Hu Quan can make some cornerstone items,” said Lin Yuan to Listen.

Lin Yuan took out a handful of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with Cloud Dream Lake inner radiance and handed them to Hu Quan.

“Uncle Hu, what do you think will be the effect of embedding these heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls into goods made of the jade-textured wood?” asked Lin Yuan.

Although Hu Quan was already used to creating goods out of the jade-textured wood, the sight of so many shining jade-textured wood planks made him squint his eyes.

When he saw the handful of Cloud Dream Lake pearls, he could not help but want to ask Lin Yuan if he had been born in a goldmine.

How else can he produce precious items time after time? How is an old man like me supposed to hold back?

The Spirit Craftsman’s soul in Hu Quan trembled with excitement. All sorts of designs popped into his mind.

“Fusing any one of the elemental pearls into a sculpture made of jade-textured wood will result in buyers clambering after it. It will definitely become even more of a luxury good! You can rest assured that the elemental pearls and jade-textured wood are in good hands with me. My skills will create luxury goods that are sure to shock them,” said Hu Quan hurriedly.

Listen was now full of questions.

He had only come up with the idea to create goods with the jade-textured wood because he wanted to fulfill his promise to Lin Yuan to make the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce into a rising faction.

He was surprised to see Lin Yuan support his idea and even provide him with precious goods that could be the star of the auction.

With sculptures made of jade-textured wood that are embedded with Cloud Dream Lake pearls in my possession, why am I still worried about management and publicity? All these issues will eventually be sorted out.

The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was immediately boosted to the same level as veteran factions with such cornerstone items.

Even though the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce could not compare with the veteran factions in any other way, they would be able to fake a style similar to that of the veteran factions.

Listen had recently built up their labor force as the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce had poached many of the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s employees. He had also been preoccupied working with Fei Qianqiong to buy up the resources that the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce was selling.

He was especially focused on buying up all the Iron Wall Chamber of Commerce’s fey-related resources.

Initially, Listen had not planned on returning to the mansion that night.

However, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had received a letter, and Listen had no choice but to return to the mansion to show it to Lin Yuan.

Listen took the letter out of the Diamond fey storage box and gave it to Lin Yuan.

“Young Master, there’s something off about this letter. Please take a look.”

Lin Yuan received the letter from Lin Yuan doubtfully.

At first glance, Lin Yuan could not see any words written on the envelope.

The envelope had already been torn open. Clearly, Listen had taken a look at its contents.

When Lin Yuan looked at the letter’s contents, he frowned.

There was only one line written on the letter—”On the coastal sea off Indigo Azure City, Jiao Hanzhong of the Zheng family’s third lineage, Nightmare Squad of the Nightmare Squad, Zheng Kaiyuan.”

Lin Yuan thought deeply about these words as he passed the note to Wen Yu.

Lin Yuan asked Listen, “Do you know who sent this letter?”

“This letter was found in the body of a Silver Messenger Pigeon. This evening, a Silver Messenger Pigeon landed on the tree in the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce’s yard. It spat out this letter and was about to fly away when Big Brother Zhou captured it,” replied Listen.

Lin Yuan had come to a conclusion after some contemplation.

The Messenger Pigeon was a messenger-type fey, but because of Star Web, they were rarely used.

They were mostly used by factions who wanted to communicate secrets to each other.

The Messenger Pigeon had a nickname amongst the top factions—Anonymous Messenger Pigeon.

The Messenger Pigeon was extremely good at passing secrets around. If someone tried to pry the message from it, the Messenger Pigeon would automatically move its digestive muscles to destroy the message.

Lin Yuan concluded that given the Messenger Pigeon’s speed, it required nine days to travel from Indigo Azure City to the Royal Capital. Thus, the letter had been written soon after the incident occurred.

Since he had entrusted the secret of his identity to the Guard Envoy, the bad blood between him and the Zheng family had not been leaked out. Only the eyewitnesses were aware of the incident.

The eyewitnesses included the two Guard Envoys, Duan He, and the Indigo Azure Guard Captain.

Lin Yuan felt sure that none of them would bother with doing such a thing. Ergo, there was only one faction that knew the detailed truth of the matter.

Lin Yuan turned and said to Wen Yu, “It seems like the Zheng family’s internal affairs is a seemingly clear lake that’s hiding murky and insidious depths.”

“Young Master, the letter’s contents coincide with my investigation. Nightmare VI did belong to the Nightmare Squad. The nine members of the Nightmare Squad stick by the Zheng family’s three young masters. Nightmare VI was part of the team guarding the Second Young Master, Zheng Kaiyuan. Judging from the handwriting, if the writer wanted to give us information, he must be someone with a frail body. I can tell that the writer lacks strength from the writing force profile,” said Wen Yu.

Wen Yu studied the handwriting again and traced the paper with her hand. She could not help but feel that besides the first-word stroke, the rest of the word strokes were written higher than average. It was as though the writing hand had been resting atop something.
