Chapter 1023: Chapter 1022: 1022: Meticulous

Cong Zhongyu hurriedly said, “Of course, the more the better.”

Huang Yuanlang’s mouth curled into a slight smile, “I’ll think about it. I have an honored guest here today, so I won’t keep you any longer. Leave your contact information with Ilay Shellon and you can leave.”

Ilay Shellon was, obviously, the name of the cat-like creature.

“Yes, yes. Please, Young City Lord, help out as much as you can. Our clan’s elders will surely remember the Young City Lord’s kindness deeply,” Cong Zhongyu knew very well that these upper-class members of the Dragon Clan held themselves in high regard. Not daring to linger any longer, he turned and hurried away.

The cat-like creature Ilay Shellon also followed him out. At this moment, Yi Cai on the stage was already concluding her speech.@@novelbin@@

Huang Yuanlang stood up, smiling and said, “Beloved sister, it seems you’ve witnessed quite a farce. This Sky Domination Clan must be experiencing some significant internal issues. This situation could very well bring us considerable benefits. I won’t keep you today. I’ll leave my contact information with you. We can get in touch anytime. Is the beloved sister free tomorrow? I’d like to invite you for a meal so we can gather. I’ll also have today’s auction items sent to you.”

“Tomorrow? Sure, that works for me. I don’t have much planned, and I’ll be staying in Fenglong City for the next few days,” Bai Xiuxiu said with a smile. At least to Huang Yuanlang, her smile seemed much softer.

Huang Yuanlang looked a bit surprised and said, “Beloved sister mentioned the next few days, but what about after that? Do you have any plans?”

Bai Xiuxiu replied, “No plans really. If you register me here and pay me, then I won’t go to Sky Dragon Planet. I’ll just take the money and go home. My home is by the sea. There are plenty of treasures I’ve saved there.”

Huang Yuanlang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Alright. We’ll meet tomorrow then.” After speaking, he nodded to Bai Xiuxiu and turned to leave.

The situation that unfolded with the Sky Domination Clan was also of great importance to the Imperial family. Time was of the essence; seeing the opportunities early demanded action. He wasn’t the only one with discerning eyes. To not take a substantial advantage of the Sky Domination Clan while the opportunity presented itself would be utterly unjustifiable.

The Sky Domination Warship of the Sky Domination Clan had always been coveted by all clans of the Sky Dragon Star. It was the only thing comparable to the Douluo Federation Warship in terms of advancement. Space teleportation aside, it was doubtless the ultimate in self-preservation.

Though Huang Yuanlang was eager to understand Bai Xiuxiu better and to build a closer relationship with her, the immediate benefits were far more significant.

“Let’s go,” Bai Xiuxiu also stood up, leading everyone out.

Outside, special personnel were already waiting to escort them back to their accommodations.

Upon returning, Bai Xiuxiu activated the sound isolation and released her Soul Power to block out everything from the outside. She heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa, covering her face, “Acting is so exhausting! That guy is very astute, not easy to fool.”

Lan Xuanyu nodded and said, “This Huang Yuanlang is quite something. He intentionally drew out the Sky Domination Clan today to find out about their desperation for Space Source Crystals and thereby infer the current situation of the Sky Domination Clan. He is definitely planning to exploit this for huge profits. But his actions also revealed several pieces of information to us. First, the relationship between the Sky Domination Clan and the various clans of the Sky Dragon Star is not very harmonious; they must rely on the Space Source Crystals to stand out in the Dragon Horse Galaxy. Second, Fenglong City is indeed wealthy with abundant resources. Among the upper-class members of the Dragon Clan, there are likely several factions. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have repeatedly asked which family you belong to.”

“`

“Do you think he believed what I said today?” Bai Xiuxiu asked.

“Partially yes, but not entirely,” Lan Xuanyu replied with a smile, “he mostly believed it. Next, he’ll probably verify your identity, but he’ll definitely come up empty. After all, we didn’t leave any traces before we came here. Our only problem now lies with Liang Pu. Since he’s the one who went to make trades with the forging metals we brought, and we’re staying in the room he provided, this could raise suspicions.”

“Ah?” Bai Xiuxiu suddenly stood up, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

In the Dragon Horse Star System, there are no Dragon Clan members, but the Douluo Federation is full of them. Where could their forging metals come from? There’s no explanation for that. If they say the Blue Sea Tribe smuggled it in, what about the channels? They wouldn’t stand up to scrutiny. If Huang Yuanlang were to find out, the problem would become serious.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I trust that Brother Xuanyu wouldn’t leave such an obvious loophole. Don’t worry,” Yuanen Huihui said, smiling reassuringly.

Lan Xuanyu also smiled, “See, Huihui trusts my abilities more than you do.”

Bai Xiuxiu glared at him and said, “Spit it out, what’s your arrangement?”

Lan Xuanyu said indifferently, “Liang Pu is just an ordinary person from the Blue Sea. To ensure he doesn’t cause any problems, as long as our control over his abilities is stronger than those who might question him, there won’t be any issues. Ah Bao has left a divine consciousness mark in his mind. He can control him remotely. When someone questions Liang Pu, his consciousness will be replaced by Ah Bao’s. Then it will return to normal. Thus, all Huang Yuanlang will find out is that we are a group of novices from the Blue Sea Tribe who brought some special ores from the Blue Sea to sell for money. He won’t know that we need to create a special identity, because, after all, you don’t have an identity to begin with. From another angle, it proves to Huang Yuanlang that you are from the Wild Dragon Clan. Of course, Huang Yuanlang knows that it’s you who needs a proof of identity, not me.”

“You schemer,” Bai Xiuxiu said with a breath of relief, pursing her lips disdainfully at Lan Xuanyu, yet her eyes were full of laughter.

Lan Mengqin crossed her arms in front of her, “Xuanyu, I just want to know, how do you feel about letting your girlfriend play the seductress?”

Lan Xuanyu said, “It’s not a seductive ploy, it’s about strength. For Huang Yuanlang, Xiuxiu’s strength is what he values most, not her beauty. A high-ranking Dragon Clan member who has the potential to become a Dragon Knight. Even if he wants to pursue Xiuxiu, as long as our identities are not suspected, he would only use legitimate methods to progress gradually.”

Bai Xiuxiu said, “Huang Yuanlang is quite handsome, and of course, like you, he’s also a schemer. But he is at best a minor league player.”

Lan Xuanyu’s body flashed, and he returned to his normal appearance, “Handsome? Is he as handsome as I am? Come on, take a good, serious look at your boyfriend. In terms of being handsome, I bow to no one except Uncle Le. No, not even Uncle Le is as handsome as me. This is what they call ‘the student surpasses the master.'”

Bai Xiuxiu chuckled, “You’re really shameless. Let’s be serious. What do we do next? Are we really going to join the Imperial court and infiltrate the enemy from within?”

Lan Xuanyu said, “No rush. I believe that when Huang Yuanlang invites you to lunch tomorrow, he will give you all of today’s auction items, even though those items, including the Space Source Crystal, are very valuable. Compared to a Dragon Knight, they are nothing. He was quite astonished by your dual attribute today; having a dual attribute must be extremely rare among the Dragon Clan, especially a natural one. This means, in his eyes, the likelihood of you becoming a Dragon Knight is even higher. Tomorrow, we might not be able to join you for lunch with him; we’ll wait for you outside. You can subtly ask him if there are any good places for Cultivation in Fenglong City, and how the Dragon Clan should properly cultivate, etc. See what he says. I guess he will offer you such a place for Cultivation. Meanwhile, he’ll try again to persuade you to join the Imperial court.”

“Tomorrow, you can agree to join the Imperial court and let him arrange an identity for you first. Then you can go home. He will definitely try to keep you, hoping you’ll settle in Fenglong City and assure you that they’ll provide the best conditions for you, especially for Cultivation. You can make it clear that you’re not very interested in Cultivation. He will probably ask you if you want to become a Dragon Knight and tell you about the privileges that come with it. Be sure to record this information; it’s very useful for us. Then tell him, you will think about it. Don’t agree to settle in Fenglong City right away, just lead him on.”

Bai Xiuxiu listened to Lan Xuanyu’s explanation, dumbfounded, “You… you calculated everything he would do? Will it really happen that way?”

Lan Xuanyu shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m about 80 or 90 percent sure. As long as he has no suspicions about our identities, we should be fine after today’s matter with Liang Pu. Tomorrow’s meal is important. Once you sort out your identity, Liang Pu can get me a regular one. That’ll be enough for us. Sky Dragon Planet is like a treasure trove, this may be our first visit, but it won’t be the last. Once we secure our identities, we’ll move on to another plan. I was going to carry out that plan in Fenglong City, but it looks like we’ll have to find another place.”
