Chapter 176: The Consecutively Shocked Liu Jie
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
If Wen Yu wished to save money for Lin Yuan, she wouldn’t even need to use Lin Yuan’s status as the Radiant Moon Palace’s Young Lord.
Once Wen Yu revealed her status as the Radiant Moon Palace’s spirit attendant, the experts in the Royal Capital would probably queue up to help with the manor’s construction. But as a spirit attendant of the Radiant Moon Palace, Wen Yu had a pride that originated from her soul and she would use that sense of pride to deal with others, apart from Lin Yuan.
The pride didn’t mean she was overbearing, but it was a kind of ego. This ego didn’t allow Wen Yu to accept any help from people trying to seek favors with the Radiant Moon Palace.
Lin Yuan knew that the Lord Mystic, which Wen Yu had mentioned, could only be Mystic Moon. However, he didn’t expect that Mystic Moon would actually help with the manor’s construction. He immediately took out his phone and made a call to Mystic Moon.
...
In the lotus pond, all sorts of lotus flowers were absorbing and exuding mist. The lotus flowers emitted a sunset-colored light, which was slowly rising up in the inner palace, projecting a pool of jade-like water.
The Platinum Spirit-Siphon Goldfish splashed around and blended into the breeze under this sunset-colored light.
However, this beautiful scenery was disturbed by a silver-robed and eminent man, who was standing by the lotus pond and letting out a wry smile.
The Moon Empress took a glance at Mystic Moon and felt the spirit tea that she was drinking was no longer fragrant.
Previously, the Moon Empress had asked Mystic Moon to visit the Chef Supreme to collect a Spirit Savory Pig. The Spirit Savory Pig was a unique fey that the Class 5 Creation Master Chef Supreme possessed.
It was just like the Radiant Moon Palace’s Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassias, but the Spirit Savory Pig didn’t have the same effects as the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassias, which could cleanse the body’s impurities.
The Spirit Savory Pig was merely a kind of food ingredient, but those who ate the Spirit Savory Pig’s meat would know the taste of this world’s best delicacy. It was also the reason why the Spirit Savory Pig’s meat was known as the world’s No.1 meat.
The Moon Empress had originally wanted to ask Lin Yuan to eat this Spirit Savory Pig delicacy together, but when she had asked Mystic Moon to look for Lin Yuan, she found out that Lin Yuan was in seclusion again.
The Moon Empress couldn’t help lamenting. My disciple is a little too hardworking, right!? How can there be such a hardworking disciple in this world?! It is making me look very useless as a Master!
But just earlier, Wen Yu had visited the Radiant Moon Palace to settle the bill with Mystic Moon. The Moon Empress finally found out that Mystic Moon had been helping Lin Yuan build his manor. This made the Moon Empress extremely infuriated.
How can This Empress’ disciple be lacking money! Even if Cheng Wu is useless, he still has plenty of wealth and should have enough to build three manors! As a master, I didn’t even offer any help and was afraid that my disciple might not agree. But you actually went to the manor to take the merit!?
Mystic Moon naturally understood the Moon Empress’ thoughts. He might have an awkward and terrified expression, but he was still very thankful to Lin Yuan and happy for the Moon Empress.
For the past decade, the Moon Empress’ mood swings hadn’t been as lively until she accepted Lin Yuan as her disciple. When the Moon Empress had wanted to accept a disciple, Mystic Moon, one of her Moon Envoys, naturally didn’t have any opinions.
But toward Lin Yuan, Mystic Moon had merely been showing his concern due to the Moon Empress. However, after all their interactions, Mystic Moon had gradually approved of Lin Yuan from the bottom of his heart.
This was the Moon Empress’ disciple.
This was the Radiant Moon Palace’s Young Lord.
All of a sudden, Mystic Moon let out a bright peal of laughter. Now that the Radiant Moon Palace had an additional young lord, it wasn’t just the Moon Empress, the entire Radiant Moon Palace was livelier.
The Moon Empress already felt that her spirit tea was no longer fragrant, but after hearing Mystic Moon’s laughter, she suddenly felt that her spirit tea had turned bitter.
Before the Moon Empress could speak, Mystic Moon’s phone rang. When he took out the phone and saw the caller, he silently thought it wasn’t good. It was actually Lin Yuan who was calling him at this moment. Mystic Moon took a glance at the Moon Empress, who let out a snort and ignored him. Mystic Moon then picked up the phone.
...
When the call was connected, Lin Yuan spoke. “Uncle Mystic? I heard from Wen Yu that you helped me to construct the manor.”
Lin Yuan didn’t know how he should address Mystic Moon as the latter would always say it was inappropriate for Lin Yuan to call him Senior Mystic Moon. Mystic Moon and the Moon Empress were both his seniors, so Lin Yuan addressed him as Uncle Mystic now.
When Mystic Moon heard how Lin Yuan addressed him, he, who was normally clear and composed, actually choked on his own saliva and started coughing.
Even though he was rather pathetic when coughing, Mystic Moon’s heart surged with a warm current. Uncle Mystic? This is the first time anyone called me like this. It is strange yet very amiable.
“Young Lord, I am the one that found a master in the Construction Association to design your manor. I wonder if you are satisfied? If you aren’t, I can ask Wen Yu to look for the Spirit Craftsmen team to renovate the manor.”
Lin Yuan originally wanted to say something else, but after hearing how Mystic Moon was seriously considering if Lin Yuan was satisfied with the manor, he felt that he shouldn’t say anything that would make things too estranged.
Mystic Moon was a high-ranked expert and had plenty of things to do, but he had actually made the effort to construct this manor for Lin Yuan. It allowed Lin Yuan to feel that his sense of belonging to the Radiant Moon Palace wasn’t just because of his master, the Moon Empress.
“Uncle Mystic, the design of the manor is great.”
From the other side of the phone call came Mystic Moon’s clear laughter. “It is fine if you like it. Wen Yu is rather reliable when doing the tasks and has put in quite the effort for the supervision.”
Mystic Moon then praised Wen Yu. He hadn’t paid any attention to Wen Yu when she was a spirit attendant, but during the construction of the manor, Mystic Moon gave his approval of Wen Yu’s capability.
Lin Yuan’s manor’s surface area wasn’t small, and when Mystic Moon had been constructing the manor, he had thought if he should recommend two more spirit attendants to Lin Yuan. However, Wen Yu’s capability had made Mystic Moon dismiss the idea.
After hanging up the phone call, Mystic Moon saw the Moon Empress drinking her tea and looking at him. He couldn’t help shrinking his neck.
At that moment, the Moon Empress’ phone rang. She picked up the phone and immediately smiled. After hanging up the phone call, Mystic Moon received a question from the Moon Empress. “If you have a disciple, what gift should you give to your disciple?”
Mystic Moon’s brows involuntarily jumped. Isn’t the Moon Empress asking what gift she should give to Lin Yuan?
This was a matter that Mystic Moon wouldn’t dare to give any ideas. If he was the one that gave the idea and Lin Yuan rejected the gift, the Moon Empress might just send him on a desert mission.
Mystic Moon quickly replied, “Your Highness, I don’t even have a disciple, how could I know what to give?”
When the Moon Empress heard Mystic Moon’s response, her smile became even brighter as she said, “I know you don’t have a disciple. Even if you do, you will not have such a great disciple like This Empress.”
...
Lin Yuan hung up the phone and saw Wen Yu looking at him expectantly. Lin Yuan said, “Uncle Mystic praised you and said you are very reliable in your work.”
Wen Yu immediately let out a pleasantly surprised and bright smile. Wen Yu always respected Lord Mystic Moon, and she was truly surprised to receive Mystic Moon’s recognition.
Lin Yuan looked at the list in Wen Yu’s hand and asked, “Where are you going?”
Wen Yu waved the list in her hand and said, “Young Master, the manor doesn’t have any furniture now. Therefore, I wish to custom-order some furniture.”
Wen Yu’s words reminded Lin Yuan that he had placed plenty of furniture and wooden materials in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Due to the high concentration of spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the furniture and wooden materials had already possessed a jade-like texture.
Actually, before Lin Yuan and Ling Xiao had arrived at the Royal Capital, those furniture and wooden materials had already turned slightly jade-like. During the past few months, Lin Yuan had already forgotten about those furniture and wooden materials as he had been enhancing feys. It was unknown how much more jade-like they had become.
Had it not been for Wen Yu’s reminder, Lin Yuan wouldn’t have recalled this.
Lin Yuan immediately waved his hand and took out some of the furniture in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
When Lin Yuan took out the wooden materials with the jade-like texture, Liu Jie, who was originally admiring this manor’s scenery, nearly bit his tongue.
When Liu Jie carefully observed the jade-like furniture that Lin Yuan took out, he couldn’t catch his breath and got the hiccups. Liu Jie involuntarily lamented. What kind of Master did I actually follow?!
