Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 152: Chapter 109: Let’s Offer It to Lord Su Sheng

Yan Han shot Lin Zhuo a meaningful look. Resolving internal disputes was his greatest weakness.

Besides, Lin Zhuo was a Director of the Ghost Suppression Bureau, and the Hidden Moon Division was a department within it.

A dispute between Deceit Holders like this was best handled by her.

Lin Zhuo couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the look Yan Han gave her.

Just as she was about to speak, Jin Qingchen, the only Deceit Holder present who had yet to say a word, spoke up.

”What does it matter how talented we old-timers are?”

”He Shiyi, you don’t receive feedback from a Guardian Beast. No matter how young you are now, can you even live for another hundred years?”

”I heard from Sister Chen that Lord Su Sheng intends to form a Contract with the Moon Eyes Bellflower. She even deliberately saved those two A+ Level Deceit Beast Masters—the ones whose Deceit Beasts can act in concert—for him.”

”If Lord Su Sheng can truly form a Contract with the Moon Eyes Bellflower and make it bloom Moon Eyes Flowers...”

”...then why not save this Rule Deceit Embryo for the first Bizarre he contracts with the Moon Eyes Bellflower?”

Seeing that He Shiyi was about to interject, Jin Qingchen didn’t give him the chance, continuing at a rapid pace.

”Even if Lord Su Sheng can only make the Moon Eyes Bellflower bloom a single flower, his lifespan—bolstered by feedback from an Order Beast—will far exceed that of us Deceit Holders.”

”For him to have a Bizarre that controls the Power of Rules growing alongside him would be far more meaningful than any of us taking this Rule Deceit Embryo.”

After Jin Qingchen’s speech, He Shiyi was truly at a loss for words.

In terms of status, Deceit Holders who possessed a Deceitful Moon Badge were no match for Celestial Destiny Seekers.

With his Talent, He Shiyi might dare to contend with an S-Level Celestial Destiny Seeker, but he would never dare to fight over resources with a newly emerged Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker.

He Shiyi shot Jin Qingchen an angry look, refusing to believe that Jin Qingchen didn’t want the Rule Deceit Embryo for himself.

Jin Qingchen paid He Shiyi’s glare no mind.

’In his eyes, no matter how high He Shiyi’s potential was, he was still just a Deceit Holder with a Deceitful Moon Badge, just like him.’

’Once you have a Deceitful Moon Badge, it doesn’t matter if you can make a Moon Eyes Bellflower bloom fifteen Moon Eyes or eighteen—the difference in status is negligible.’

Jin Qingchen wanted the Rule Deceit Embryo too, but he knew it would never be his turn, no matter how it was allocated.

The moment Jin Qingchen learned that this new Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker had successfully healed Zheng Yufeng’s injuries, he had made a decision.

’I must do everything in my power to build a good relationship with Lord Su Sheng!’

’Even if Lord Su Sheng never becomes one of the powerhouses at the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, his importance to Starlight City and the Xin Xia Alliance will be nearly on par with the twelve known as the Strongest: the Three Emperors, Four Venerables, and Five Monarchs.’

’Even experts like the Star Emperor and the Dragon Emperor, who have reached the level of the Peak of Ten Thousand Nations, will likely need to ask Lord Su Sheng to heal their injuries someday.’

’If I suggest giving the night-related Rule Deceit Embryo from that spider-like Bizarre to Lord Su Sheng during this meeting...’

’...word of it will eventually reach his ears.’

’Whether the proposal is accepted or not, just by suggesting it, I’ll have planted the seed of a favorable relationship.’

’After all, unlike He Shiyi, who spends all his time thinking about how to make the Moon Eyes Bellflower bloom more Moon Eyes Flowers to prove his own talent and potential...’

’...Jin Qingchen preferred to spend his energy on networking and maneuvering.’

His words were not only the start of a favorable relationship with Lord Su Sheng, but also a way to help Lord Shun Lan and Lord Wei Re out of their difficult position.

Lin Zhuo didn’t immediately accept Jin Qingchen’s proposal, but inwardly, she was very tempted by it.

’However, the prerequisite for all this is that Zhong Yi must be able to form a Contract with the Moon Eyes Bellflower and make it bloom.’

As far as Lin Zhuo knew, Zhong Yi hadn’t yet formed the Contract with the Moon Eyes Bellflower.

”It’s still too early to discuss who gets this Rule Deceit Embryo. We haven’t even found the spider-like Bizarre yet.”

”It won’t be too late to decide on its allocation after we’ve actually killed the creature and obtained the Rule Deceit Embryo from its body.”

After Lin Zhuo finished speaking, the four of them—Chen Yin, Jin Qingchen, He Shiyi, and Lu Tu—didn’t bring up the Rule Deceit Embryo again.

The meeting went on for nearly two hours.

With Shun Lan’s return, many previously backlogged issues were resolved smoothly.

After all, Shun Lan was the Director of the Ghost Suppression Bureau. Even though Lin Zhuo was also a Director, she still needed Shun Lan’s final approval on many matters before issuing orders.

”Ah Zhuo, I heard from Jin Cai that not only has our Starlight City produced a Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker, but we also have a new Combat-type Celestial Destiny Seeker with an SS Level potential rating.”

”Jin Cai apparently caused quite a stir at the Xin Xia conference.”

”Can our Starlight City’s Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker really get a Triple S potential rating?”

”I heard he healed the damage to your Order Beast’s Origin and even cleansed you of that curse.”

”Ah Zhuo, if that’s an exaggeration, all of Starlight City’s Celestial Destiny Seekers will have their Potential Points deducted.”

”We’ll become the laughingstock of the other cities!”

Lin Zhuo knew very well that Yan Han had always been cautious, especially when it came to matters that affected the entire group.

Yan Han had once been her Guardian, so she understood him perfectly.

Lin Zhuo’s potential rating as a Celestial Destiny Seeker was S+ Level, but back then, Yan Han’s overly cautious nature led him to report her rating as just S Level.

It was only after Star Night re-evaluated her that her potential rating was changed and reported as S+ Level.

Yan Han wasn’t just cautious about others; his assessments of himself were even more stringent.
