Chapter 988: Parents’ Gift
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Beast patterns were familiar yet foreign to Lin Yuan.
There were now two members in Wen Yu’s Astronomical Parliament—Bei Xu and Yin Lin.
Both of them had formed contracts with north-south constellation seats.
At the previous parliamentary meeting, Lin Yuan had discovered that Yin Lin had awakened two beast patterns in her body.
As such, Lin Yuan had studied up on beast patterns afterward.
Due to the Spirit White Lion and Azure Cloud Leopard beast patterns, Yin Lin had become the fourth Azure Envoy in the Azure Federation.
The Moon Empress had announced this piece of news at the Guard Ye Banquet, and Lin Yuan had been surprised when he first heard it.
The Radiance Federation, Freedom Federation, and Azure Federation were the three most powerful federations in the world.
The three federations had comparable power, and any conflict between either federation would affect the entire continent.
As the fourth Azure Envoy, Yin Lin had limitless authority in the Azure Federation.
In a way, she had surpassed Lin Yuan.
The 25 Class 5 families were the pillars of the Azure Federation.
Previously, Yin Lin’s status in the Azure Federation was lower than that of Lin Yuan as the Moon Empress’ disciple.
But now, her status as an Azure Envoy was higher than that of Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan’s status would only become equal to hers if he became a Radiance Envoy.
But due to the Astronomical Parliament, Yin Lin remained as one of Lin Yuan’s subordinates.
It was unknown whether Yin Lin had created a private faction in the Azure Federation.
Tomorrow night would be the fourth Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.
Almost a month had passed since Yin Lin and Bei Xu were called into the Astronomical Parliament and saved by Lin Yuan. Thus, the next parliamentary meeting would be a good time for Lin Yuan to receive a record of Yin Lin and Bei Xu’s achievements as well as give them their next task.
He was not worried about Yin Lin as her every word and action carried the responsibility of a Class 4 and Class 5 family.
After becoming the fourth Azure Envoy, her actions had the support of the entire Azure Federation. Her current status granted her complete agency.
However, Bei Xu was different.
Bei Xu could only depend on the Sharp Shadow Bat in the Grotto Continent.
On the other hand, Lin Yuan had always had a guess about Yin Lin’s immediate awakening of two beast patterns after regaining her sight.
Lin Yuan felt that Yin Lin was only able to awaken the two beast patterns because of the Jasmine Lily’s Severed Limbs Growth.
Spirit qi professionals had weak bodies, and the bloodlines of feys in a human’s body could result in a blockage of bodily functions and even lead to death.
Usually, the beast bloodlines in a human’s body would fall into an unconscious state when the human was young.
When Lin Yuan was treating Yin Lin’s eyes, he had been concerned that she would not be completely cured. As such, he had injected a massive amount of vitality into her.
It was likely that Severed Limbs Growth allowed Yin Lin’s genetic model to recombine with the spirit beast bloodline and awakened the beast patterns.
Now that he saw Ah Lun’s state, Lin Yuan knew that his guess had been accurate.
Lin Yuan could not help but be amazed at how great of a decision it had been to combine the Willpower Rune he had comprehended during the natural cleansing with the Jasmine Lily.
Many healing-type spirit qi professionals, including thearch-class healing-type spirit qi professionals, had abilities that Lin Yuan could not compete with. However, none of them had feys that had Severed Limbs Growth.
Ah Lun noticed Lin Yuan staring at his neck, and he felt as though Lin Yuan’s eyes were boring into him.
He could not figure out what was so interesting about his neck.
But when Ah Lun lowered his head, he saw the beast pattern that extended from his neck to his chest.
He immediately started to panic as he did not know what this thing on his body was.
Lin Yuan immediately started to explain to Ah Lun, “Don’t be afraid. This is a gift that came from your biological parents’ bloodline. The back pattern on your neck is a beast pattern. It looks like it’s from a pure dark-type scorpion-species fey. If you ever contract a pure dark-type scorpion-species fey in the future, you can use your bloodline to evolve the fey rapidly. You’ll be able to nurture feys at a multiplied rate of others.”
Ah Lun inhaled sharply.
Ah Yu did not know that they had been adopted, but Ah Lun did.
Although their adopted parents had never mentioned it, everyone in the alley lived so closely together that they knew each other’s business.
When their adopted parents had been alive, Ah Lun had heard the neighbors mention their adoption more than once.
He did not believe them at the beginning. But as he grew older, he realized that he and Ah Yu looked less and less like their adopted parents.
Ah Lun did not know why he and his brother had been abandoned, and he could not ask his adopted parents.
Even if he did want to ask them now, they had already been killed by the Forest Scary Wolves in the Endless Forest.
Ah Lun had respected his adopted parents like they were actually his parents.
While they had been alive, Ah Lun had been a model son.
Although he had never outwardly expressed it, Ah Lun had always begrudged his biological parents.
It was natural for an abandoned child to want to know why they had been tossed aside.
A look of pain crossed Ah Lun’s face, but he quickly regained his composure and asked Lin Yuan in a shaky voice, “How do you know that this beast pattern came from my biological parents?”
Ah Lun wanted to learn about his biological parents from Lin Yuan, even if it would not be able to answer all his doubts.
