Personal space.
Fang Qing grumbled.
Full of disdain and contempt for Black Prison Ao.
Using family power to oppress Lin Yuan, such an evolver.
Even implicating the entire Canglan Star, forcing Lin Yuan to comply.
In Fang Qing's view, this was a loss of identity, a disgrace to the Black Prison Family.
"Brother Lin, don't worry, I probably understand the situation."
Fang Qing looked at Lin Yuan and said.
Since passing the Seven Star Cave test, Fang Qing had taken the Red Kun Lineage's spaceship to the main star of Red Kun.
There, Fang Qing had many things to do, even communication with Lin Yuan became less frequent.
After all, joining the Red Kun Lineage did not mean having a carefree life.
As a member of the Red Kun Lineage, Fang Qing needed to face various competitions, leaving little free time.
"I really don't want to be under Black Prison Ao."
Lin Yuan shook his head.
"I know."
Fang Qing nodded.
"Leave this matter to me."
Fang Qing sounded confident.
Now he was a member of the Red Kun Lineage.
And the Red Kun Lineage was the undisputed master of the Red Kun Star Domain, any evolver associated with the Red Kun Lineage could rise to great heights.
Moreover, Fang Qing was an official member of the Red Kun Lineage.
"We'll try diplomacy first."
"Let's meet with Black Prison Ao first."
Fang Qing said calmly.
If he could negotiate with Black Prison Ao himself and make them give up targeting Canglan Star, then everyone would be happy.
If Black Prison Ao refused, Fang Qing also had a solution.
"Thank you."
Lin Yuan said slightly moved.
Facing the suppression of the Black Prison Family, Lin Yuan was fearless because he knew his true strength.
But Fang Qing didn't know that.
Despite the enormous public pressure on Canglan Star, Fang Qing still stood by his side without hesitation, which was indeed commendable.
Next.
In front of Lin Yuan.
Fang Qing dialed Black Prison Ao's contact information.
After a moment.
The shadow of Black Prison Ao appeared in front of Fang Qing.
"Brother Fang, long time no see."
Black Prison Ao looked at Fang Qing, a smile on his face.
In this Seven Star Cave test, there were only three hundred or so evolvers who passed, and as a force of the Red Kun Lineage, the Black Prison Family naturally remembered these three hundred people very clearly.
Even during the celebration ceremony of the Thirteenth Peak Master, Fang Qing and the other three hundred new members of the Red Kun Lineage had contact with forces like the Black Prison Family, and at that time Black Prison Ao had exchanged a few words with Fang Qing.
"Black Prison Ao, I won't beat around the bush."
Fang Qing got straight to the point, "Do you know which planet I come from?"
"What do you mean, Brother Fang?" Black Prison Ao's smile quickly disappeared.
He naturally knew Fang Qing came from Canglan Star, but so what?
He was only targeting Lin Yuan, as long as Lin Yuan bowed to him, the suppression of Canglan Star would stop.
Overall, Canglan Star would only lose some economic benefits, which wouldn't affect the whole situation.
"Brother Lin is my best friend, and Canglan Star is also my home planet. Your little tricks, you better take them back."
Fang Qing said.
"Oh?"
Black Prison Ao's expression remained unchanged, "What tricks? I don't know what you're talking about?"
"You're still pretending?"
Fang Qing sneered, "You let the high-level members of the Black Prison Family interrupt trade with Canglan Star and spread the news that all this is because Brother Lin didn't accept your solicitation. Do you think I can't see through such small tricks?"
"Brother Fang misunderstood, interrupting trade with Canglan Star was the decision of the high-level members of the family. They believe that Canglan Star is not suitable for further cooperation. What does that have to do with me?"
Black Prison Ao refused to admit it.
In any case, he couldn't leave any handle, Fang Qing came from the Red Kun Lineage, even if he was just an ordinary member, he couldn't directly conflict with him.
Moreover, interrupting trade with Canglan Star was legal and compliant, even the Goddess of Wisdom couldn't find any fault with it, so Fang Qing couldn't catch him.
"Black Prison Ao, are you sure you want to be enemies with me?"
Fang Qing stared at Black Prison Ao, saying word by word.
"Brother Fang, whether we're enemies or not, I don't have that ability."
Black Prison Ao shook his head.
"Very well."
Fang Qing directly ended the call with Black Prison Ao.
"This Black Prison Ao, impossible to reason with."
Fang Qing rolled his eyes, "It seems that Brother Lin's charm is indeed too great, making Black Prison Ao unwilling to compromise even at the risk of offending the Red Kun Lineage."
"But it's not a big problem."
Fang Qing stood up, looking at Lin Yuan, "Brother Lin, you just wait for my good news."
After saying that.
Fang Qing disappeared on the spot.
Watching Fang Qing leave.
Lin Yuan's face fell into contemplation.
He had indeed overlooked Fang Qing's presence.
It could be said that if anyone from the Red Kun Lineage came forward to help Lin Yuan resolve the suppression from the Black Prison Family.
It would attract the attention of many forces, exposing Lin Yuan's identity to the risk.
But only Fang Qing wouldn't.
Because Fang Qing also came from Canglan Star and had participated in the arena match with Lin Yuan, the two had a good relationship.
Now that Lin Yuan was targeted by the Black Prison Family and Fang Qing had joined the Red Kun Lineage, he had the ability to solve this matter. If he lent a hand, even the most top-notch 'divination' masters couldn't figure out anything unusual, they would just find it very normal and reasonable.
Inside the magnificent palace.
Black Prison Ao sat on the throne.
"Young master, by not giving face to that Fang Qing, are you sure..."
Beizhao, who had witnessed the entire process just now, had a worried look on his face.
"Rest assured."
"That Fang Qing is just an ordinary member of the Red Kun Lineage, he can't represent the whole lineage."
Black Prison Ao shook his head, "Besides, I didn't directly confront him, I have nothing to worry about. What can he do to me?"
If it were a core member of the Red Kun Lineage, Black Prison Ao might have to swallow his pride and compromise, but just an ordinary member? Especially one who had recently joined?
Black Prison Ao didn't think there would be any hidden dangers. As long as he could return to the family smoothly and sit on the patriarch's throne, then everything would be worth it.
In the virtual world of the Red Kun Main Star.
Within a temporarily opened estate world.
Fang Qing and over three hundred other figures sat in front of a huge round table.
These three hundred figures were all evolvers who had joined the Red Kun Lineage in the same batch as Fang Qing.
They were the ones who had passed the Seven Star Cave test.
Within the Red Kun Lineage, the thirteen peak masters were high above, and the backgrounds of the members below varied.
Therefore, members who joined in the same batch often had closer relationships, as they were considered part of the same 'cohort.'
"Fang Qing, you called us here, what's the matter?"
"Yes, if there's anything between us, just say it."
At the round table, several evolvers spoke up.
But most of the evolvers remained silent and did not express their opinions.
Among them were the silver-haired woman, Silver Spirit, the three-eyed man, and the nearly three-meter-tall strong man.
As Crimson Marks participants in the Seven Star Cave test, these three had a significant status even after joining the Red Kun Lineage.
Their presence at this moment was entirely due to their respect for Fang Qing's face.
"Everyone."
Fang Qing looked at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "My hometown, Canglan Star, is currently being suppressed by the Black Prison Family."
"They have interrupted trade with Canglan Star and implemented despicable economic sanctions. I urge you all to persuade the forces behind you to trade with Canglan Star."
Fang Qing said earnestly.
The most heinous impact of the Black Prison Family interrupting trade with Canglan Star was not losing the Black Prison Family as a partner.
It was the subsequent series of negative impacts.
Other forces might follow suit after seeing the Black Prison Family withdraw.
To prevent this scene from happening, they must quickly rebuild trade channels with other forces.
The 'other forces' here first had to show that they were not afraid of the Black Prison Family.
Only by re-establishing stable trade relations could Lin Yuan be removed from the center of public opinion.
Many of the evolvers present were official members of the Red Kun Lineage. Their backgrounds meant that they didn't care much about the Black Prison Family.
"I see."
"The despicable Black Prison Family."
"Relying on their size, they bully the weak everywhere."
"Brother Fang Qing, count me in for this favor."
At the round table, many evolvers expressed solidarity and immediately promised to help.
Of course.
The reason these evolvers said so was solely because of Fang Qing's face.
By agreeing to Fang Qing's request at this moment, he owed them a favor, and in the future, if they had any requests, Fang Qing would be obliged to help.
"Canglan Star?"
At this moment, the three-eyed man spoke up, "If I remember correctly, this incident was caused by Black Prison Ao of the Black Prison Family, trying to recruit that Lin Yuan, which led to the current situation?"
"Fang Qing, you just need to wait for a while. As long as that Lin Yuan voluntarily submits, the trade suppression on Canglan Star will disappear. Are you sure you want to use so many favors to help your friend?"
The three-eyed man looked at Fang Qing with interest.
The other evolvers at the round table also looked at Fang Qing.
They didn't care whether the Black Prison Family bullied the weak or not.
The reason so many evolvers were following Fang Qing's lead was purely out of favor.
After all, this matter meant nothing to them; it was just about opening up another trade route.
Under everyone's gaze.
Fang Qing's brow furrowed slightly.
In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the advice of his teacher, the old man with a white beard, when he first learned about the situation on Canglan Star.
"Help, you must help."
"Even if it means bankrupting yourself."
The old man with a white beard understood the situation very well and couldn't help but roar.
"Huh?"
Fang Qing was stunned.
He did want to help, and he had even begun to consider a way out for Lin Yuan.
But he couldn't quite understand the excitement of the white-bearded old man.
"Fool."
The old man with the white beard glanced at Fang Qing.
"I ask you, if you hadn't joined the Red Kun Lineage, and faced with Black Prison Ao's recruitment, would you have agreed or not?"
The old man with the white beard asked back.
"I... I probably would have agreed."
Fang Qing thought carefully and nodded.
Without joining the Red Kun Lineage, he would have had no background to rely on. Faced with the massive entity that was the Black Prison Family, he wouldn't have had the confidence to resist or refuse.
Unless he stayed on the planet for the rest of his life without going out, otherwise, as soon as he ventured out for exploration, he would have to guard against the Black Prison Family's actions.
"Then tell me, is your Brother Lin stupid?"
The old man with the white beard continued to ask.
"Brother Lin is certainly not stupid."
Fang Qing said without hesitation.
"What do you mean?"
Fang Qing suddenly realized.
"Your Brother Lin is not stupid, but he made a seemingly foolish decision. Why do you think that is?"
The old man with the white beard guided.
"Brother Lin has other cards, and he doesn't take the Black Prison Family, no, he doesn't take Black Prison Ao seriously."
Fang Qing said excitedly.
"At least you have some brains."
The old man with the white beard said with satisfaction, "Helping your Brother Lin now is like sending charcoal in snowy weather, do you understand?"
"I'm sure."
At the round table, Fang Qing looked at the many evolvers and nodded, "Each one of you who helps me today, I promise one favor in return. If you have anything in the future, just come to me directly."
"Hmph."
Seeing this, the three-eyed man snorted coldly and disappeared instantly.
He was too lazy to bother with these trivial matters, and Fang Qing's favor meant even less to him.
However.
Except for a few individuals like the Three-Eyed Clan man, most evolvers still sided with Fang Qing.
Even the silver-haired woman, Silver Spirit, promised to speak to the forces behind her.
After all, this matter posed no difficulty for them; even if they helped, it wouldn't cost much effort.
Virtual world, personal space.
Black Prison Ao's expression darkened.
"Damn it," Black Prison Ao squinted his eyes, "I didn't expect Fang Qing to be willing to expend so much favor for Lin Yuan, to establish trade relations with so many fellow disciples and the Canglan Star."
Black Prison Ao felt somewhat helpless.
Originally, he thought Fang Qing was just joking around, showing off for Lin Yuan.
He didn't expect him to really stand up for Lin Yuan and pay such a high price.
"And the Red Kun Lineage, are they really so united that they stand against my Black Prison Family with Fang Qing?"
Black Prison Ao's expression grew even darker.
"Young Master."
"What should we do now?"
Below the great hall, Beizhao asked tentatively.
"What should we do?"
"What else can we do?"
"Do I dare to oppose the mighty Red Kun Lineage?"
Black Prison Ao waved his hand dismissively. "If I dare to do that, I'll be forcibly taken back by the family."
Pretending to be ignorant in front of Fang Qing wasn't a serious consequence, and it had nothing to do with the Red Kun Lineage.
But now, if he dared to intervene, he would truly be at odds with the Red Kun Lineage. So many members of the Red Kun Lineage had stepped forward, and Black Prison Ao naturally knew what to do.
Time passed.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
Central Continent Manor.
Lin Yuan finished his cultivation and glanced at the network.
"Well, the influence of the Black Prison Family has basically been eliminated."
Lin Yuan stepped out of the underground training ground.
In the past half year, with many members of the Red Kun Lineage stepping forward, they managed to persuade the forces behind them to establish trade with the Canglan Star.
Naturally, there wasn't much influence left from the Black Prison Family.
As for the online criticisms of Lin Yuan, they had long disappeared without a trace.
The whole thing seemed as if nothing had ever happened.
"This is human nature."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly. He didn't mind, but the recent mood of his parents and sister had improved visibly at an eye-catching rate.
"Half a year, soul compatibility."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes slightly, beginning to sense the level of his own soul compatibility.
Half a year ago, his soul compatibility had reached twenty percent.
Now, after seven or eight months of continuous improvement in martial arts evolution, Lin Yuan could faintly feel that his soul compatibility was about to reach perfection.
"Eighty-five percent."
Lin Yuan opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face.
With an eighty-five percent soul compatibility, he had reached the late stage of transformation, and he was very close to advancing to the sixth rank.
Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue his cultivation and perfect his martial arts evolution system to increase his soul compatibility.
Suddenly.
Lin Yuan's expression changed slightly.
Because.
Deep in his mind—
That majestic and grand Gate of the Myriad Realms had completely lit up at the edge.
...
Hehehehe
I need POWAAAA :D
