Chapter 1714: Just Say It! Do You Want to Take a Gamble with Me?

After Yun Shuying left, Su Yang asked Xia Na, "Do I really look old?"

"Compared to me, you're very old!" Xia Na retorted without any pleasantness, but she quickly caught herself. "Master, don't even think about changing the subject. Do you have some idea about that Yun Shuying?"

"How could I?" Su Yang defended himself. "I was just making a joke!"

"A joke?" Xia Na searched Su Yang's face but found no cracks, so she could only say, "Master, you have to behave yourself, or I'll tell Mengyun-jie."

"Uh… is it really okay for you to do that?"

"Before I left, Mengyun-jie told me to keep an eye on you!" Xia Na said. "I came here on a mission."

"Keep an eye on me?" Su Yang lay down on the sofa and covered his face. "You still have the nerve to bring it up? Aren't you the one stealing from right under my nose?"

"So what if I am stealing from right under your nose?" Xia Na said smugly.

After bantering with Xia Na for a while and resting for a day, Su Yang set off with Xia Na and Liu Mengyun.

The three of them spent two days hurrying to the Wuyun Kingdom's capital, Ziyun City.

Near Ziyun City, a flowering tree called the Ziyun Tree grew.

Su Yang had heard Yun Shuying say that, back in the day, a Wuyun Kingdom Empress had been very fond of Ziyun flowers.

The Emperor of that generation of Wuyun Kingdom ordered people to plant many Ziyun Trees inside Ziyun City and near it, for the Empress to admire!

Every year at the end of summer, the Ziyun Trees planted inside Ziyun City would all bloom at once, dyeing the entire capital of Wuyun Kingdom purple.

Ziyun Trees held a certain economic value for commoners.

Their flowers could be refined into perfume, and also used to make pastries and brew wine—very versatile.

Every year when the flowering season arrived, commoner children would gather the flowers to sell for money.

It was a bit like the roses of the old Huaxia Federation.

However, when Su Yang and the others arrived at Ziyun City, spring had only just ended, so they couldn't see Ziyun City's most famous Ziyun flowers.

Yun Shuying led them into Ziyun City's Babao Studio, and they ran into no obstruction at all.

Very quickly, Su Yang met Yun Tianyin, who was stationed at the Wuyunchengfen Alliance.

Yun Tianyin's hair and beard were both completely white, but he didn't look aged.

He was burly, his complexion ruddy, and he looked very healthy.

His body must have recovered, but the death of his main battle beast had caused his combat power to plummet!

Still, a God-Rank Mid-Grade Beast Tamer—even if the only Mid-Grade God Beast in hand died in battle—should still have God-Rank Low-Grade beasts on hand.

"Shuying, long time no see. What brings you here?"

Yun Tianyin curiously sized up Su Yang and Xia Na.

"This is Elder Long's order!" Yun Shuying handed Elder Long's handwritten letter to Yun Tianyin. "Read it, Old Ancestor, and you'll understand."

Yun Shuying had mentioned that Yun Tianyin was a figure from her great-great-grandparent's generation.

But a distant relative.

Yun Shuying simply addressed Yun Tianyin as Old Ancestor.

Among the several God-Rank Beast Tamers of the Yun family, Yun Shuying's generation rank was the lowest.

Addressing the other God-Rank Beast Tamers of the Yun family as Old Ancestor wasn't out of place.

Once he reached the Beast Tamer's Great World, Su Yang had already discovered that the family powers in the Beast Tamer's Great World were far stronger than those in the Huaxia Federation!

For an ordinary Beast Tamer to become a God-Rank Beast Tamer, without terrifying talent or heaven-defying luck, it was very hard to become a God-Rank Beast Tamer.

Almost every God-Rank Beast Tamer Su Yang had come into contact with had the backing of some power behind them!

Simply put, class solidification was severe.

Precious resources and knowledge were mostly in the hands of the great powers and great clans!

If ordinary Beast Tamers wanted to obtain these resources, they could only stake their lives!

But for scions of noble houses, for Beast Tamers backed by great powers, it was no trouble at all—no risk to speak of.

In the future, if the Huaxia Federation continued to develop, the Zaowanye Society would end up the same way.

Even now, some family powers were already quite strong.

Just not as exaggerated as the families in the Beast Tamer's Great World!

Of course, Su Yang had no intention of changing this situation.

After all, this was the trend of the times!

Unless he was willing to do good deeds…

Specifically going out of his way to support those Beast Tamers of commoner origin.

However, Su Yang would at most just go through the motions.

The good stuff, he would definitely still keep for his own people.

That was human nature!

"So that's how it is!"

After reading the letter, Yun Tianyin curiously sized up Su Yang and said politely, "Elder Chen, then for the time to come, the Alliance will have to trouble you!"

It seemed Elder Long had leaked a little of Su Yang's strength.

But probably not much.

Elder Long had also instructed Yun Shuying not to spread the news of Su Yang killing Elder Ling abroad.

Yun Shuying was still reliable… except when fleeing for her life.

Su Yang smiled and said, "Let's work hard together, let's work hard together!"

"Then today I'll hold a banquet to welcome you!"

It was called a banquet, but the Wuyun Kingdom's royal family also showed up at the feast.

Yun Shuying briefly introduced the two of them to Su Yang.

One is the Emperor of the Wu Yun Nation, Yun Congfeng, a Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade Beast Tamer.

He is a junior of Yun Shuying.

One is an elder of the Divine Wu Yun Nation, Yun Haoxiong, a God-Rank Low-Grade Beast Tamer.
