Fey Evolution Merchant Chapter 1187

Chapter 1187: How Elite is His Status?
2
Lin Yuan’s eyebrow twitched as he looked at the kneeling Liu Jie.
What is Big Brother Liu doing? I didn’t expect him to be a natural-born actor. But I guess this shouldn’t be surprising as people in the Divine Wood Federation care a lot more about ranking than people from the Radiance Federation.
The retainers in the Radiance Federation did not need to uphold such etiquettes, but these mannerisms were required in the Divine Wood Federation.
If such etiquettes were lacking, it would seem strange and make one seem unworthy of respect.
The more established the etiquette was, the more awe-inspiring one would be regarded in the Startling Lines Continent.
If the master and their retainer had an overly casual relationship, they would be assumed to be nouveau riche.
Lin Yuan assumed that Liu Jie was only acting in such a way as part of his performance. However, Liu Jie did not feel the same way.
Liu Jie was wearing the Class 2 Creation Master retainer crest that Lin Yuan had given him under his silver armor.
He was currently placing his hand over the area where the Class 2 Creation Master retainer crest was.
The Class 2 Creation Master retainer crest was proof of Liu Jie’s rescue and marked the beginning of his dream.
During the time he had spent by Lin Yuan’s side, Liu Jie had witnessed the way Lin Yuan treated his companions, friends, and family.
However, Liu Jie would always see himself as Lin Yuan’s retainer knight.
Liu Jie realized that this was the first time he presented himself as Lin Yuan’s retainer knight in front of others.
Hence, he was so caught up in his piousness that even his breathing became ragged.
This scene was a heavy blow to the minds of Luo Ya and the Sincere Merchant members.
Although Luo Ya had guessed that Lin Yuan was the disciple of a secret elite family, she never expected him to have such a powerful retainer.
Lin Yuan had said that he had been separated from his retainer when they encountered a Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift. It did not seem plausible that the retainer that could not handle a Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift would be able to do anything against a Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift.
When Liu Jie first appeared, he looked so young that Luo Ya did not link him to Lin Yuan.
Despite only being around 24 years old, he already possessed such power. As such, he seemed more like a member of a secret elite family than Lin Yuan, who was dressed in torn-up clothes.
The power of the spiderwebs that seemed to stretch across the entire sky was so great that Luo Ya could not begin to fathom the amount of power that Liu Jie wielded.
Yet, this god-like man turned out to be Lin Yuan’s retainer.
Just how elite was Lin Yuan’s status? How strong was Lin Yuan’s faction? Could there be a Class 4 Creation Master in the secret elite family that Lin Yuan came from?
At this point, Luo Ya stopped her imagination from running wild.
She already felt that Class 3 families were unimaginably powerful.
Someone like Luo Ya, who was from a Class 2 family, did not even have the right to look at a member of a Class 4 family.
At first, Luo Ya had all sorts of wild thoughts about Lin Yuan, and she had decided to pursue him even if he was truly a member of a secret elite family from the Great Lush Federation.
But now that she saw how powerful Lin Yuan’s retainer was, she became acutely aware of the vast canyon of difference between her and Lin Yuan’s status.
Luo Ya’s feelings of love at first sight for Lin Yuan had gradually turned into hope.
But now, she understood they were from completely different worlds and could never be together.
At this thought, her spirits plunged.
Mr. Feng and Feng Jiazhi recovered from their shock and felt a twinge of affection for Lin Yuan.
This affection came from the happiness and excitement of being saved.
The Startling Lines Continent had the habit of seeing masters and their retainers as one entity, and any action on the retainer’s part was regarded as their master’s will.
Although Liu Jie had stopped the wave of subterranean beasts, the crowd’s gratitude was directed toward Lin Yuan instead of Liu Jie.
Liu Jie knelt for half a minute before he rose to his feet,
He stood by Lin Yuan’s side, in between Luo Ya and Lin Yuan.
Luo Ya instinctively took a step back to put distance between her and Liu Jie.
Although the man in the silver armor had not shot her any menacing looks, she was sure he did not have any friendly feelings toward her.
As even Lin Yuan’s retainer looked down on her, she felt the distance between her and Lin Yuan draw even wider.
Suddenly, uproarious cheers erupted from every direction.
“A god saved us! Look everyone, the subterranean lifeforms have all been trapped by the webs! Oh my God! I’m not dead! This is amazing! Thank God!”
The Sincere Merchant members hugged their family and friends, and many of them were weeping tears of joy.
Many hands wiped away tears from many faces, and the remnants of salty tears were like a gift to those who had miraculously survived the disaster.
Feng Jiazhi took Bean back from Lin Yuan and kissed the wide-eyed child.
However, his beard was so rough that it scratched Bean and turned the child’s innocent smile into upset wails.
Usually, Bean was Feng Jiazhi’s top priority. But now, he ignored his son and shouted, “The sun is setting! Quickly start up the fires! I shall provide two Silver Rampaging Mountain Bulls, and we shall have a feast in honor of our guests tonight!”
Feng Jiazhi’s words were like a spark that ignited a blaze of excitement in the crowd, and it was almost as though they had not just been in the middle of a disaster moments ago.
The Sincere Merchant members’ eyes shone as they looked at Lin Yuan and Liu Jie, but none of them dared to step forward to thank the two men.
People with Lin Yuan’s natural, elegant demeanor and Liu Jie’s dignified coldness could only come from a major faction.
None of the members of this lowly merchant group dared to approach the two men.
Luo Ya tossed a Bronze Item-Storing Walnut onto the ground, and many fruits appeared.
“Since we’re roasting bulls, we need to have these fruits too! Beef is oily. After you wash these fruits, you’ll be able to eat the fruits alongside the oily beef,” said Luo Ya.
There were no seasonings or added dishes other than some salt and the fruits that Luo Ya provided.
Naturally, the food was nowhere near the quality that Liu Jie produced.
Currently, many Sincere Merchant members were enthusiastically dancing around the bonfire.
Lin Yuan and Liu Jie merrily feasted amidst the wonderful atmosphere.
