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.

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.
