Chapter 2658: Hunting Competition

These high officials are very generous when courting talent.

But Ye Liuyun doesn't care at all about the meager resources they provide.

He explained to Lin feng zhi, "I never intended to stay in one place for long.

Living in the city is less comfortable than going to capture Monster Beasts.

It has nothing to do with how many benefits one gets.

Perhaps it's just my nature.

I've already decided to leave here and go capture Monster Beasts."

Ye Liuyun cannot state his purpose outright, so he can only use capturing Monster Beasts as an excuse.

Moreover, he hints to Lin feng zhi that he can capture Monster Beasts to obtain resources, so Lin feng zhi could never afford to support him.

Given Ye Liuyun's skill, going out to catch a few Monster Beasts of the Heavenly Being realm and selling them is indeed far more comfortable than living under someone's roof, and the earnings aren't any less than working for others.

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand Master Ye's meaning.

With Master Ye's ability, he never lacks resources to begin with.

But since Master Ye has come to our Liulin Dynasty and has a backing, that's better than none.

I don't expect Master Ye to stay here forever, nor do I need you to tame beasts for me.

All you need to do is hold the position of Beast Tamer here; whenever you want to go somewhere, you may, and stay as long as you wish.

Each month I will prepare a large sum of resources for you, delivered via Teleportation Array Disc to your hands, as an offering.

When we need you to act, we will negotiate each case separately.

Moreover, whenever you have matters, as long as I'm able, I will resolve them for you free of charge.

How does that sound?

The proposal Lin feng zhi put forward can be described as extremely humble.

Essentially it places no restrictions on Ye Liuyun, yet lets him take money for free.

When Ye Liuyun thought about it, he realized they wanted to bind him, preventing him from helping others.

Then, using personal favors, anyone who wants Ye Liuyun to tame beasts must first ask him.

Nevertheless, Ye Liuyun still agreed.

Because for him, accepting or refusing this condition makes almost no difference; after he leaves, he may never return.

"That's great!"

【7】 Lin feng zhi did not hesitate; on the spot he paid Ye Liuyun a year's fee and gave him a large amount of Divine Crystal.

Lin feng zhi also did not hesitate, paying Ye Liuyun a year's fee on the spot and giving Ye Liuyun a large amount of Divine Crystal.

Then he turned to Ye Liuyun and said, "I've recently been planning to gather the offspring of some nobles and princes for a hunting competition.

Since Young Master Ye also intends to capture Monster Beasts, why not go together.

My daughter has mentioned to me many times her great admiration for your skill and wishes you to help her tame a Monster Beast as a mount.

Moreover, this hunt will include some princes and princesses and other dignitaries who will ask you to assist in taming beasts.

Young Master Ye, why not earn an extra profit while you're at it?

My daughter's and several other key persons' fees will be prepaid by me to Young Master Ye; as for the taming fees of the others, Young Master Ye may quote them directly, or I can assist with the pricing.

Anyway it's just a side matter; Master Ye, consider it a small favor to me, and thank you for accompanying me, how does that sound?"

Ye Liuyun, seeing his courteous words, thought it truly was a convenient task, could earn resources, and saw no problem.

So he agreed.

Lin feng zhi was then satisfied and left, proceeding to make arrangements.

In his daughter's name, he invited princes, princesses and all the noble and powerful offspring to join this hunting competition.

The invited princes, princesses and other important figures naturally understood what Lin feng zhi meant.

But they all found the event novel, far more interesting than holding a banquet, so they responded enthusiastically to participate.

Of course, they will also prepare the Monster Beasts that need Ye Liuyun to tame, and will have him do so then.

Lin feng zhi immediately dispatched troops to the designated Xingqiu, letting them first arrange camps and other matters.

Ye Liuyun also took the opportunity to stroll through the local merchants' guild, and covertly released Tong Xin, Qiong Qi and Lin Luoyi to assess the local alchemy and pill‑refining capabilities.

Tong Xin and Qiong Qi also purchased many locally forged treasures, Flying Boats and other items, bringing them back for study.

They thought the local forging level was average, but the Formations were very sophisticated.

Lin Luoyi only eyed a few pills transmitted from the Southern Region, but since the price far exceeded their value, she did not buy them; she merely learned their effects and returned to study them herself.

Ye Liuyun also visited a local tavern, feasting with his companions, and stocked up many wines and dishes to consume later.

These days, through Red Eye, he also controlled many people who told him about the history of the Dual Dynasties Star System, giving Ye Liuyun a deeper understanding of the place.

Lin feng zhi acted swiftly; a few days later everything was ready, and he boarded a golden eagle, taking Ye Liuyun, Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Tong and Lin Moyu straight to the hunting Xingqiu.

On the way, Lin Xiaoxiao actually changed her previous attitude, curiously asking Ye Liuyun many questions about Monster Beasts.

Ye Liuyun, this impostor Beast Tamer, may not know the local taming methods, but he has owned many pets and Monster Beasts, and now the Space World still harbors various Monster Beasts.

Even when encountering something he doesn't understand, he can ask on the spot, so there is essentially no problem that can stump him.

This made Lin Xiaoxiao admire Ye Liuyun even more.

Meanwhile, Lin Moyu was extremely jealous.

But now Lin feng zhi is very courteous to Ye Liuyun, and he dares not speak to offend Ye Liuyun, only enduring it.

He tried several times to gauge Ye Liuyun's cultivation realm, to decide whether to strike at him covertly during the hunt.

But the earlier attempts were deflected by Ye Liuyun, clearly unwilling to answer, and when he asked again, Lin feng zhi warned him via Transmission Voice, so he dared not ask further.

Yet his hatred toward Ye Liuyun grew even stronger, even thinking that Lin feng zhi's warning was all because of Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun simply doesn't care about such a minor character; he talks, laughs, and delays nothing.

But regarding his own information, he keeps it tightly sealed.

Gradually, Lin feng zhi also discovered that Ye Liuyun was not simple, perhaps even more unfathomable than the Ye Liuyun they had previously seen.

So they also joined the chat, and talked with Ye Liuyun about the several north‑south battles.

They found that Ye Liuyun was still very interested, so they said a bit more, but they discovered that Ye Liuyun was even proficient in troop deployment, and understood everything as soon as it was mentioned.

They grew increasingly interested, even drawing a terrain map on the back of a golden eagle with True Essence, and reviewing the battle scene.

Although Ye Liuyun often listened to them speak, occasional few words directly hit the crucial points.

By contrast, Lin Moyu's insight, when compared with Ye Liuyun's, falls far short.

Ye Liuyun could even predict things that they hadn't spoken, and beforehand warned them that they should set up a defense.

In the end, Lin feng zhi grew increasingly uneasy, even worrying whether Ye Liuyun might be a spy sent by the southern faction.

They decided on the spot that, after returning, they would thoroughly investigate Ye Liuyun's identity.

If Ye Liuyun truly has no issue, then they have indeed found a great treasure.

If Ye Liuyun truly is a spy, then they have likewise captured a great treasure.
