Chapter 1004 More Visitors From The Myriad Race



After the Dragon Race envoy left, Lin Fan thought that it would be over.

However, a few days after the Dragon Race envoys left in search of the fake trail Lin Fan gave them, there were more visitors that arrived.

They were still from the Myriad Races, but this time, they were from the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race.

Just like the Dragon Race, they requested an audience with Lin Fan.

Unlike the Dragon Race, they didn't push for the audience and waited for Lin Fan to be free.

It was clear that they had come with different intentions compared to the Dragon Race.

But to confirm, Lin Fan still checked with Feng Ling and Lei Ting.

Neither of them had any ideas as to why the Phoenix Race and the Qilin Race would send envoys here, but…Lin Fan couldn't help feeling that their answers were suspicious.

While he was talking to them, it almost seemed like they were hiding something.

But since they weren't willing to tell him, it wasn't as if he could force them to say anything.

So he didn't waste any time and met with the envoys. Of course, he did it separately so that he wouldn't be rude and could stop them from ganging up on him.

The first group that he met was the Phoenix Race group. It was for no reason other than the fact that they had arrived first.

When he was in the room with the Phoenix Race envoys, he was surprised to find that they were all female. They were all beautiful red haired women in flowing red dresses.

This was very strange since Lin Fan knew that there were many kinds of phoenixes that were a part of the Phoenix Race. So for all of the envoys that came to be fire phoenixes…there had to be a reason.

Not to mention, Feng Ling was also a fire phoenix.

When they sat down, Lin Fan was surprised by their request.

eαglesnᴏνel "Your highness, do you know the whereabouts of Qing Ao?" The leader of the group Feng Yue asked.

Lin Fan was surprised since he never thought that they would ask him about Qing Ao. He had been certain that they had been here for Feng Ling, but now that didn't seem to be the case.

Still, Lin Fan didn't know what relation this Phoenix Race group had with the Dragon Race group that came before, so he just shook his head and said, "I have no idea who that is."

Feng Yue knitted her brows when she heard this before waving her hand at one of her subordinates. That subordinate came over and placed a piece of paper in her hand which she placed on the table in front of her.

Lin Fan looked down at it and found that it was a picture of him and Qing Ao together when they were fighting back on the Galactic Humanity Alliance.

Feng Yue didn't say a thing after placing this picture on the table and just waited for Lin Fan's reaction.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the picture before looking up at Feng Yue.

He had mistakenly used the same attitude when dealing with the Dragon Race group to deal with this Phoenix Race group. However, it was clear from this single move that they were on completely different levels.

It was clear that this Phoenix Race group wasn't as dumb as the Dragon Race group.

He had thought that there wouldn't be any physical evidence like this since the Dragon Race group had never brought out anything, but now that didn't seem to be the case.

So Lin Fan asked, "What are you asking this for?"

Feng Yue calmly said, "We have a matter that we need to settle with Qing Ao, nothing more, nothing less."

Lin Fan couldn't help finding the way that she said this strange.

It seemed calm on the surface, but for some reason, he could hear a bit of anger in her voice. It was almost as if she was repressing some kind of hidden anger towards Qing Ao.

But why would she be angry towards Qing Ao?

There were many things that Lin Fan couldn't understand about this, but he still had to handle this matter.

So he chose to give the same excuse that he gave the Dragon Race, even if he wasn't sure if they would buy it.

"I established a temporary contract with this dragon back on the Galactic Humanity Alliance because of the circumstances. However, after it was broken, it wandered off and I have no idea where it went." Lin Fan said in a calm voice.

Feng Yue narrowed her eyes to look at him, as if she didn't believe his words.

Lin Fan just calmly looked back at her without showing any emotions at all.

Finally, Feng Yue said, "Is that so?"

Lin Fan once again looked back at her with the same calm look on his face.

After a long period of silence, Feng Yue finally raised her hand out towards her subordinate again. The subordinate took out another two pieces of paper that they placed in her hand which Feng Yue then placed on the table.

Lin Fan looked down at the two pieces of paper and found that these were also pictures.

This time, they were pictures of him with Feng Ling and Lei Ting.

Feng Yue then asked, "What about these two? Do you know where these two have gone?"

This time, Lin Fan wasn't surprised since he had expected this already.

Well, he didn't expect the Phoenix Race group to be interested in Lei Ting, but he knew that they would be interested in Feng Ling.

However, the strange thing was that there was no hostility in Feng Yue's voice when she asked this. It was as if she only had hostility towards Qing Ao and she was genuinely concerned about Feng Ling and Lei Ting.

Still, Lin Fan wouldn't be convinced that easily.

So he said the same thing, "I don't know anything about these two either. The only relationship between us is that I formed a temporary contract when I was on the Galactic Humanity Alliance. I think that since you were able to find out that I had a temporary contract with them, you should know the circumstances that led up to it."

Lin Fan left it there, not willing to give them any extra information.

The Phoenix Race group just looked at Lin Fan with narrowed eyes as if they were trying to see through him.

But they couldn't see a single thing wrong with what he said.

Indeed, they had already investigated this matter and they knew what the story behind it was. They had talked to all the people that Lin Fan had gotten close to during his stay in the Galactic Humanity Alliance, so they knew that Lin Fan had only formed these contracts during the war.

There was nothing that they had found that suggested Lin Fan had formed these contracts before the war.

This was a race that was powerful enough that even Astral Empires would be careful of them, so their intelligence networks were not things to look down on.

So in the end, they had no choice but to stop their questioning of Lin Fan.

They chose to use the soft method just like the Dragon Race group had done and asked Lin Fan where was the last place that he had seen these three.

After thinking about it, Lin Fan decided to not give the same place that he had given the Dragon Race since that place was actually a trap that he had set for them. It was a place that was very dangerous, but he knew that the Dragon Race would still send people to check.

He just wanted them to suffer a bit since there was a bad relationship between Qing Ao and the Azure Dragon Tribe.

But it was different for this Phoenix Tribe.

As far as he could tell, there wasn't a hostile relationship between Feng Ling and the Phoenix Tribe, so he had no reason to punish them with this trap.

So he told them a random place that was far enough that it would take a while for them to check. After all, it wasn't as if he was going to remain idle after the Phoenix Race had already made their move. 

By the time that they finished checking, it would already be too late.

With this, they ended the meeting and Lin Fan sent them off.

But before the Phoenix Race group left, Feng Yue suddenly turned around to face Lin Fan.

Lin Fan couldn't help being caught off guard when he saw her doing this and he was about to ask what she wanted, but she spoke first.

"Please, if you have any information about my sister Feng Ling, I ask that you pass it to me." As she said this, Feng Yue even went as far as bowing her head.

Luckily there was no one around to see this or they certainly would have misunderstood the situation.

Even the rest of the red haired girls from the Phoenix Race couldn't help being shocked by this.

Before Lin Fan could ask anything else, Feng Yue had already stood up and started walking away.

As she left, Lin Fan couldn't help noticing a few sparkles in the air that instantly turned into vapor.

He wasn't a fool…he could tell that she had been crying when she said those words.

This just made him even more and more confused.
