Chapter 2054 - 2054 This is the Yi family’s Own Glory!

2054 This is the Yi family’s Own Glory!

Yet, the Yi family was the exception.

Just as much as the other factions were anxious, the Yi family was excited and hopeful.

As Yi Huailong led the members of the Yi family into the tree castle and waited for Lin Yuan to restore the Yi family.

Yi Huailong and the rest of the Yi family saw from the window in the Hollowed Tamarix how Yang Hanxian and the imperial guards were killed by Di Wanmi.

The sight filled Yi Huailong and Yi Huailu with a conclusive happiness.

But now, there was additional joy.

Everyone in the Yi family knew what Yi Huailu becoming a Class 5 Creation Master meant for the Yi family.

Lin Yuan helping the Yi family to enter the Divine Wood Federation was saving them. But Yi Huailu evolving to Class 5 Creation Master strengthened the Yi family’s foundation.

These two situations could not be discussed as the same matter.

Lin Yuan said to Yi Huailu with a smile, “Congratulations on becoming a Class 5 Creation Master! I will send Di Wanmi to have a chat with you later.”

Lin Yuan’s intention was not for Di Wanmi to teach Yi Huailu.

Every Class 5 Creation Master walked down a different path that had to be their own. It was impossible for them to learn from each other.

But Yi Huailu belonged to the Divine Wood Federation, which had never had a Class 5 Creation Master. Thus, he had to have less knowledge about Class 5 Creation Masters than Di Wanmi, who came from the Radiance Federation.

Di Wanmi could share the knowledge with Yi Huailu to save him some detours.

Yi Huailu immediately understood Lin Yuan’s intention and bowed in thanks to Lin Yuan as he said, “Lord, now that I’m a Class 5 Creation Master, I’m much more useful than before. You can instruct me to do anything you need.”

Yi Huailu’s words sounded like he was trying to curry favor with Lin Yuan and demonstrate his loyalty.

This was exactly what Yi Huailu was thinking. However, he was being genuine and not putting on a show.

When Su Jian and Bai Dong planned for their families to siege the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court, both of them had the same idea of killing every person in the imperial court to ensure that there would be no fallout from the matter.

This was indeed the most advantageous decision for the Su and Bai families.

Doing so would also be the most beneficial for the Yi family.

This was why Begin Lady had told Little Peach to do so.

After Little Peach settled matters and cleansed the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court, Begin Lady reported the situation to Lin Yuan.

If Lin Yuan had only recently arrived in this world, he might have felt that Begin Lady’s methods were too cruel.

But after a year of growth and training, and changing from a feeble regular person to who he was now, Lin Yuan knew that being merciful toward one’s enemies would be an act of cruelty to their own faction.

When Yi Huailong heard what Lin Yuan said, he knew that it was time for him to speak. He hurriedly took a step forward and said, “Lord Lin Yuan, the Yi family are who we are today because of you! We have six White Elephant Vine Flower Sedans. Please ride in the frontmost one into the imperial court!”

Yi Huailong was trying to invite Lin Yuan and express his respect.

The White Elephant Vine Flower Sedan was iconic for the Yi family.

The Yi family’s crest had a flowering vine wrapped around a white elephant on it.

By having Lin Yuan sit on the frontmost White Elephant Vine Flower Sedan while Yi Huailong sat behind him, everyone in Sacred Forest City would be able to see what was essentially a declaration of Lin Yuan being king.

Moreover, Yi Huailong also extended this invitation to Lin Yuan as a means of testing Lin Yuan’s intention. He wanted to know what his plans for the Yi family were after they entered the imperial court.

If Lin Yuan accepted his invitation to sit on the frontmost White Elephant Vine Flower Sedan, this meant he would interfere in all matters of the Divine Wood Federation.

If Lin Yuan turned him down, it meant that the Yi family would be able to truly rule over the Divine Wood Federation.

Selfishly, Yi Huailong hoped that Lin Yuan would turn him down. Otherwise, he would not be able to act freely even if he entered the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court.

At that moment, Lin Yuan said, “I won’t be going with the Yi family to the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court. This is the Yi family’s own glory. I’m sure you will call for a meeting of all the factions in Sacred Forest City as your first action in the imperial court. I won’t be participating in the meeting either. The Yi family can preside over it yourselves.”
